Chapter 1: Prologue-The Promise
Two men sat in red armchairs. One had emerald green eyes, and the other had dark, charcoal coloured ones. The man with the green eyes spoke,
"My dear friend Jitari, today may be the last day we see each other. You have been a dear friend to me all of these years. This war between Kohona and the Sand has been one of many horrors. I am only glad that by doing this, we are protecting our loved ones, and will preserve our clans."
"Yes, you have been a close companion to me also, Akusuru. If one or both of us die winning this war, I believe that we should take action to protect our families," the other man replied.
"You mean…inter-marriage?"
"Precisely."
"This arrangement will forever intertwine our clans, and make them into one big clan. Yes. I believe that this is a wise idea."
"Then it is agreed. Your grand daughter Haruno Sakura, and my eldest grandson, Uchiha Tenkou will marry when they come of age."
"Let us write our families a letter enclosing our last wishes, so that they may be sent to them in the event that we perish."
2 weeks later, Haruno and Uchiha households (separate)
