Proud

Proud.

That one word could only describe the remnants of the worn down buildings and barracks that were once beautiful and full of luxurious things and beautiful flowers. Proud. The once beautiful housing of the Uchiha clan that was now dilapidated and deprived of life.

Where once, a large, beautiful manor full of life and gorgeous flowers blooming with each season and people (Uchihas) taking care of it, was now a worn down building. With no one to take care of it, it had shrunken down to a mere shadow of its once magnificent glory.

But, now the house was full of life.

Gorgeous flowers bloomed with each season.

People were taking care of it.

"Mama!" A little girl with dark colored hair and deep emerald eyes ran up to a woman in pink, holding something in her small hands.

"Look, Sasuke-kun! Mikoto found it!" The woman called out.

A short distance away, a tall man with dark hair and obsidian eyes stood up from the rubble.

Although his face was emotionless, his eyes betrayed him, full of relief.

In the little girl's hands was a picture of the Uchiha clan, many years ago when it was all filled with Uchihas.

It was still a shadow of its once magnificent glory, but that glory was starting to bloom once again.

"Wow! Sakura-chan, Sasuke-teme, Mikoto-chan, your house! So beautiful and pretty!" A blonde man wearing an orange jumpsuit stood at the entrance, obviously awed.

Next to him was a woman with purple hair and light lavender eyes. Her pregnancy was starting to show, seeing as there was a small lump where she kept rubbing her belly.

Five years had passed.

All the damage to the house had been prepared, and flowers were beginning to bloom again.

Proud. Once, where the house stood, full of life from Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Mikoto's generation and various members of the Uchiha clan, was now a house, considered brand new, standing in all its pride and glory, full of life from Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Sakura's generation.

And, of course, full of life from members of the Rookie 9, Team Gai, and the Sand Siblings who either live with them or visit often.

Proud.

Once, full of life, to dilapidated and worn down, back to full of life once more. And even more glorious than it was in its former glory.

Proud indeed.


A/N: This fanfiction is actually supposed to be about the Uchiha manor/house/mansion. But I couldn't resist the tiny SasuSaku and NaruHina. Enjoy.
