In the land of Konoha, a land of ninjas, there lived a new generation of ninjas ready for the new day in shinobi school. Takasei Ryuu was ready to start a new day. He had been out of the village for a long-term mission and had just returned in surprise of the new generation that had begun to form.

Ryuu-sensei had gone through most of the students by now, then he saw a name that he has not seen in awhile: Uchiha.

"Uchiha"

"Here"

"Here"

He looked up from his clipboard in confusion. He then carefully repeated the name again. "Uchiha"

"Here"

"Here"

Ryuu-sensei then looked at the student in shock, two of them? The shadow-clone jutsu was a requirement to pass ninja school and the Uchiha kid already done it? "Shadow clone?"

One of the boys responded by chuckling. "That's not it sensei, we're twins."

He looked at the boy dumbfounded. Uchiha...twins? He then returned to his clipboard and read the entire name. "Uchiha Itashi?"

"Here," responded the first boy.

"And Uchiha Takashi?"

"Here," said the other boy.

"Honestly sensei, how do you not know them?" A girl from the Hyuuga clan named Haruka asked Ryuu-sensei after class.

Ryuu-sensei sighed. "I've been on a long term mission, it's still a surprise to hear about children from legendary heros of Konoha."

"Sensei you'll never get married at this point." Another girl named Kinako with red hair chimed in. Ryuu recalled her last name being Uzumaki which was a unknown clan until the an Uzumaki took over as hokage..

He laughed uncomfortably, kids are so blunt nowadays. "My love life shouldn't be of concern of you two, get home safety okay?"

"Okay," responded both in unison.

"Oh yeah sensei," said Haruka right before she turned to leave.

"Yes Haruka?"

"Watch out for the Uchiha twins"

"Why?"

"They're not named Konoha's troublemakers for nothing, my father warned me about them."

Ryuu-sensei didn't like the sound of that. "Alright I'll take your warning to heart."

"Bye sensei!"

"Bye"

The Uchiha twins were walking home under the waning sun looking restless.

"Takashi"

"Hmm?"

"Let's have a contest."

"Knife throwing?"

Itashi shook his head.

"Then what?"

"Ninjutsu! Whoever learns one first wins."

Takashi raised his eyebrows. "Who's going to teach us? We haven't even seen the jutsu with our own eyes before." He pouted, "and it's not like dad is going to return once we learn something new like that."

Itashi sighed, "I know...but I think we're on the right track to learn something of value at shinobi school."

"Mm," agreed Takashi.

Itashi then grinned, "race you home Takashi!"

Takashi saw him leap to the rooftops before yelling, "hey not fair!" He then raced suit after Itashi.

At the Uchiha house, Sakura was busy cooking the twins favorite food, omelette rice. "Tsuka, honey, can you set the table? Takashi and Itashi should be coming home from school soon."

"Okay!" A young girl with Sakura colored hair and round black eyes appeared out of hiding from the open attic. She then leaped down from the ceiling hole and went to take out the dishes. "Mama"

"Hmm?"

"What is dad like?"

Sakura smiled at the question. "Why do you ask?"

Tsuka crossed her arms. "Cause Takashi-nii and Itashi-nii always fight about who is going to be dad's student one day."

Sakura giggled. "That's just like them. Well let's see...he's a real big fool. But he treasures his family very much, that's why he can't be around very often."

"Then why did you marry him? He's not around often and only sends letters every so often."

She then bent down to kiss Tsuka's forehead. "Because I get to have you, your brothers, and your sister."

Tsuka looked at her blankly.

"One day, you'll understand. Now where are those plates?"

"Oh yeah ma-"

Suddenly the door busted open to Takashi and Itashi catfighting.

"I got here first!"

"Throwing kunais don't count!"

"Is too!"

"Boys," said Sakura sternly.

Takashi quickly quieted at the sight of their mother. Itashi on the other hand accidentally threw the kunai that they were fighting over directly towards Sakura.

Sakura calmly dodged the kunai and placed her hands on her hips. The twins dared not to move an inch. "So? What do you boys have to say for yourselves?"

Both boys nervously sat on their knees and bowed deeply. Takashi responded first. "I'm sorry mother"

"I'm sorry your majesty," said Itashi.

"Huh?" Sakura looked sharply at Itashi.

"I'm sorry mother."

Sakura then sighed before letting them off. "We're having dinner soon. Fetch that kunai and help your sister set the table."

"Okay!" said the twins in unison.

"Idiots," whispered Tsuka as she took out the plates. Takashi first took the liberty to move the plates for Tsuka. Itashi then leaped to reach for the knife that had been rammed into the house.

Once everyone was seated at the table and began to eat, Sakura asked, "how was the first day at school?"

Takashi shrugged, "nothing special."

"Didn't a girl confess to you?" Itashi said nonchalantly.

"Didn't you get one too?"

"The girl mistook me for you," replied Itashi.

"Ditto," mumbled Takashi.

Sakura smiled slightly. "Who would have known you two would be popular?"

Takashi looked disinterested. "Girls are such an annoyance."

"Takashi that's rude," said Sakura scolding him. "So who is the teacher?"

"Hamada Ryuu," replied Takashi

"Hm, Hamada," Sakura thought for a good moment before shrugging it off. "It's the first time I heard such a name. Did he teach anything today?"

"He taught us about Chakra," said Itashi. "I wish he would hurry up and teach us ninjutsus." Then he asked, "mom do you know any ninjutsus?"

She raised her brows at the question before replying, "of course I do."

Takashi looked interested as well. "Can you show us one? Like...the shadow clone jutsu?"

Sakura looked at the boys and sighed, "ninjutsus aren't quite my forte..." She asked, "is this another one your bets Itashi?"

"No"

"It is," said Takashi in his place.

"But I still want to see it," said Itashi.

"Are you sure your brains can handle it?" added in Tsuka in the middle of eating her food.

"Can too," retorted Itashi.

"I highly doubt it," said Takashi.

"Your brain can't be any different from mine," hissed Itashi. "You're my twin."

"Yeah? Wanna see the difference in our levels?"

"Oh, it's on"

"Mom!" said the twin in unison.

Sakura jumped slightly at the force of their voices together. "Y-yes?"

"Shadow clone-"

"-jutsu

"Teach it to us!"

Sakura had decided to let the boys continue their training outside. Although they had not begun to bear fruit from their training, Sakura couldn't help but be reminded of Naruto and Sasuke when they were still genins. She was secretly happy that the boys had taken the measures to train outside of their talents since their talents in taijutsu were exceptional.

"Mama?" Tsuka pulled on Sakura's sleeve as she was washing dishes.

"Hmm?"

"I'm worried about Takashi-nii and Itashi-nii."

"Why?"

"I fear that their brains will pop from their idiocy."

Sakura chuckled, "we'll see. You should believe in your brothers more Tsuka."

Tsuka pouted before agreeing, "okay…"
