Naruto Uzumaki!

The epilogue takes a breath and counts what is left. Sasuke, pardoned and one-armed, leaves Konoha on a road of his own choosing, the rivalry settled into something quieter at the gate. The episode then folds time forward: Kakashi's Hokage tenure, the rebuilding, glimpses of pairings the finale will formalize — and Naruto Uzumaki's name spoken with the respect twelve-year-old him screamed for in episode one. Part mixed-canon montage, part farewell, it is the series closing its ledger before handing the keys to the next generation.
