Author Note/Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto characters, places, or things; I only own my plot idea and my crazy fantasy. Also I hate how Sakura was ignored by Kakashi, yes she was immature as a genin but, it's a teacher's responsibility to guide them past that stage. He trained Sasuke and when Sasuke left he focused on Naruto. Not once did he truly teach Sakura anything and I found that offensive. I know if he had been my instructor I would have raged for a new sensei or new learning conditions. Sasuke still won't like Sakura out of jealousy/arrogance and Naruto will still annoy/crush on her but, he will be her friend. Kakashi will be regarded civilly except during times of blatant inequality and neglect.

Chapter 1: Sakura's Gift

Even at the young age of 3 Sakura had shown remarkable control over her chakra. She could read and comprehend some of the most complex texts her parents owned even about the business. Mebuki glanced concerned to Kizashi who sighed. Mebuki shook her head in sadness, "She's going to want to be a kunoichi…what will we do? We forged the birth certificate with your name instead of her true father's."

"We should ask the Hokage what he thinks we should do." Kizashi gathered Sakura in his arms and moved toward the door to walk with his wife to the Hokage's tower. Mebuki fidgeted and her hands clenched tightly in her nervousness.

As they approached the tower they had many compliments on the little girl's adorable features. The little girl giggled and laughed until a set of senbon were floating on strings around a certain chewing shinobi's head.

The young tokubetsu jounin looked on in shock before glancing at the laughing little girl with her horrified civilian parents. He moved towards them and smiled at the little pinkette, "Well little Miss you sure are a cute little trickster aren't you?"

The big green eyes looked curious as the man grabbed his senbon from the air. She giggled as he tapped her nose lightly going slightly cross eyed. "No worries little Miss. These are safer with me though. Have a good day kiddo."

The Haruno family watched as the young man left and the little girl pouted, "Aww…" Her mother shook her head and moved to request an audience of importance with the Hokage. They were granted after waiting 15 minutes for a team of shinobi to be given their mission.

An older man sat behind the desk in the office surrounded by windows, "Ah, Hello Haruno family. How can I help you today?" Mebuki looked to her little girl and moved forward, "Hokage-sama, when I first moved to the leaf and married Kizashi I had already been pregnant from a one night stand. I do not know who this man was other than he was a former Suna-nin.

The old man hummed to himself, "So you don't know if he was a retired or missing nin?" Mebuki sighed and shook her head, "No, you see my husband is infertile and we wanted a child who could physically pass as ours. I sent a request out anonymously for a male with red hair and brown eyes similar to my husband in order to have a donor to allow me to become pregnant. I took fertility prescription shots to make it more likely for the process to work." She bowed to the Hokage, "She already shows remarkable control of her chakra and I have no demands for her to be sent to Suna. This makes me think that he may have been a missing nin…how will this affect Sakura?"

Kizashi looked at the serious look on the old man's face, "We listed me as her father at her birth due to the recommendation of the nurse attending us. However, this remarkable chakra control and her thirst for knowledge are beyond anything a civilian child would be capable of."

Hiruzen sighed, "This honestly should not affect her. However if the missing nin were to try and confront you about her in the future and claim her…that could change the circumstances." He pulled out blank sheets of paper and looked to his Anbu, "Neko, bring me the heads of the Nara, Uchiha, Yamanaka, Aburame, and Akimichi clans with several heads signing this document it will prevent the councilors or future Kages from being able to harm Sakura for something she had no choice in."

The Anbu soldier bowed and quickly left to do as bid through a window. Soon enough several people piled into the Hokage's office including both Uchiha Heads and the future head of clan Itachi who looked curious as to the going ons of the meeting.

"I know you all may be wondering why I've called you here and it's simple. This young talented girl may possibly have a missing or retired nin for a father from outside the village." The Hokage stated causing the heads to look shocked and concerned, "I shall let the Haruno parents explain."

All the heads listened attentively to the circumstances which allowed Sakura to be born. Fugaku looked annoyed, "So you hired someone to impregnate you since your husband was not capable. Did he make any requests regarding the child's future?" Mebuki shook her head, "No but, there wasn't a clause preventing any future requests either. You can see why we are concerned."

Mikoto stepped forward with a gentle smile, "Can I see her?" Kizashi handed little Sakura over to Mikoto who showed Itachi the little girl. "She's pretty Mother," the young boy said causing her to smile. "So a nurse suggested you list yourself as her father without warning you of the legal repercussions. It sounds to me as if you both are innocent. You would not be the first unfortunate couple to run into this problem."

"I wish for you all to authorize a document to protect this girl's life. If her father seeks her out later in life I do not want her executed on a technicality…I can't hope for more than that as banishment or exile is perfectly legal in this circumstance if an enemy seeks to use her as leverage in the future." The old man at the desk stated.

Shikaku stepped forward, "I don't even think that should be legal but, it's an old law…if we're not around we can at least guarantee the girl can leave peacefully and with all her finances and possessions after a week of sanctuary or until her home is sold." The other clan leaders agreed easily with his assessment and signed the contract.

He provided a copy to each clan head and also to the Haruno family and two for himself, "This will insure that Sakura will live if the worst comes to pass. I can promise no more than this…the laws are old but, they are absolute." He nodded to the clan heads, "Thank you all…this girl will be safe and her family will be grateful for it."
