(Authors notes) MUST READ!
Okay, so this is a story that I kind of just took interest in wanting to write, and I feel like making my own plot and AU was something I would heavily enjoy, so this is where this idea comes from.
Some noteworthy things I think I should mention to you: In this story, the Harunos are a very powerful clan, even more so than the Hyuugas and the Uchihas, however they have chosen to keep themselves a secret so they do not get pulled into drama. They have a deadly Kekkei Genkai that is only awoken if a pure Haruno is conceived AND born on a full moon (which Sakura WILL be, so yes, she has the Kekkei Genkai. Only 3 out of the thousands in her clan had this. They already have a normal Kekkei Genkai, but this one is sort of an 'evolved state', I guess. Sort of like the Mangekyo is to the Sharingan.) The Uchiha Massacre will be prevented by none other than Sakura in this story, and Sakura has a few other powers that will be shown further into the story. But there are alot more mysteries going on, so don't worry, I didn't just spoil it for you. Sorry for babbling on, but one more thing! I'll try not to make Sakura too OOC in this story, but bare in mind that since her upbringing will be differentiated from that of the original story, so will her personality. Also, Sakura will have different parents. Okay, have fun reading!
"Haruno-sama, come quick!" Exclaimed a young woman with blonde hair and fierce brown eyes, sprinting her way down the Haruno compound's wide hallways. Said man came running out, almost colliding with the poor woman who warranted his attention.
"What is it? What's going on?" Dairoku, the Haruno Clan Head, frantically questioned. The woman, Haname, could only blissfully grin at the man she had had pledged her loyalty to 10 years ago and uttered three words.
"Come with me." She joyfully grinned, almost skipping her way to the infirmary as Dairoku submissively followed, quick on his feet. Once they arrived, Haname flung the door open, revealing Megumi Haruno, staring at a black and grey screen. It didn't take Dairoku long to realise that the black and grey screen his wife was looking at was actually an ultrasound. He had known his wife was pregnant ever since she'd announced so 5 months ago...What called him so urgently to see this?
Megumi turned to her newly arrived husband, tears filling her eyes to the brim as she laughed a joyful laugh.
"My love, what are you laughing at? I demand someone tell me what's going on!" Dairoku desparately pleaded as Megumi bounced her way over to him and embraced him.
"Dear, look outside and then look at the ultrasound screen...Please. Let me know when you understand it." Megumi pleaded with her oblivious lover. Dairoku raised a questioning eyebrow at her as he moved away his offending blonde hair from his eyes, his black orbs travelling to the window where they stopped on a round, white object.
"A full moon? I don't- wait..." His pupils dilated as the traveled towards the ultrasound screen, green blotches surrounding where the eyes should be on their child, indicating a foreign object - or to put it simply, a 'foreign' Kekkei Genkai. "Oh my god... is it really...?!" Dairoku let out a happy - and very manly - squeal, squeezing his wife until she made an unpleasant noise.
"Darling, I sort of have a child inside of me right now, would you not be so rough?" She joked, grinning at him as the tears that had threatened to spill before, did, and the husband and wife laughed and cried tears of happiness as they cuddled one another.
"I can't believe it...What are the chances? Our little baby is going to be so strong when they grow up!" As if only remembering, Dairoku gasped and pulled away, staring into his wife's emerald eyes. "Did you find out what gender it's going to be?" He grinned as Megumi nodded frantically.
"We're getting a girl!" Megumi exclaimed, rubbing her stomach. Dairoku's smile widened and he crouched down to his wife's stomach.
"Hey, sweetheart, I hope you can hear me right now. Listen, you are going to be the best Kunoichi our generation has ever seen, I'll make sure of that! And, perhaps if we're even luckier, you'll be the best Kunoichi that past generations had ever seen!" Dairoku whispered, smiling like a madman.
"Lucky us, huh? Only 3 others from the Haruno clan would've had this Kekkei Genkei, and- Oh! Hold on," Megumi was almost bursting with excitement. "She'll be the first woman of the Haruno clan to possess it!"
"Ah, yes, she will be a prodigy that will be longed for indeed." The doctor complimented, smiling.
"Haname-chan, you know, when I have my baby, you're gonna have to be her big sister, okay? Teach her everything you know." Megumi smiled gently at the 17-year-old girl, who blushed lightly.
"Of course, Megumi-san. I will protect her with my life." Haname agreed, grinning. "I've always wanted a little sister, anyway." Haname giggled, flustered. Megumi smiled back and tucked a strand of her own dark-red hair behind her ears.
"We've got 2 months preparation before she will be expected, so I think an announcement to our Clan is in order." Megumi informed Dairoku, nodding towards him as she clitched her stomach protectively.
"So it is." He nodded, smiling in response. "You are dismissed, Haname-san. Thank you for your continued efforts and contribution towards the Haruno Clan."
"It is my pleasure, Haruno-sama. Please take care of yourselves - especially you, Megumi-san." Haname smiled, bowing towards the pair before exiting the room, giddy with joy on the expected Heiress.
"So, it seems we have some waiting to do. Until then, we will be taking our leave - thank you, Morino, we don't know what we'd do without you." Dairoku nodded towards the doctor, who nodded in response.
"It is the least I could do for you, Haruno-sama. Please tell me if you need any help with anything, I will be glad to offer it." Morino smiled, waving at the Clan Heads as the exited the room.
{2 months - 7 hours of hard labour later}
"She's...beautiful." Megumi smiled down at her new-born. She was sticky with sweat and was panting heavily, but in her eyes, it was all worth it - just for this moment.
"Pink hair! How cute." Haname giggled, enfatuated with the infant's pretty little face.
"She has your eyes, dear." Dairoku pointed out, as Megumi chuckled.
"So she does. It seems she has a mix of both of our hair...blonde and red, and then we have pink." Megumi laughed, although she was clearly exhausted. "I suppose that makes sense. However, she has your forehead." Megumi joked, holding back a snicker.
"Ha ha, very funny, my love. However, I have grown into my forehead and it is no longer as large as it used to be. Besides, she looks cute with her forehead." Dairoku defiantly crossed his arms, making his wife chuckle.
"I can't deny those claims one bit." Megumi smiled gently as she carressed her finished masterpiece that she ever-so-carefully cradled in her arms.
"Haruno-sama, I suggest you get some rest now, you have worked very hard." Morino told the exhausted woman. "Once you have decided on a name for the young girl, your husband may take her for a while." Megumi and Dairoku's eyes drifted towards eachother's as they smiled in unison.
"What should we call her?" Megumi asked.
"How about Lily? She would suit that, wouldn't she?" Dairoku suggested, as Megumi cringed in response.
"As much as I hate to admit it, I think that's a wuss name. Get more creative, Dairoku! How about...eh...Rose?" Megumi shrugged, looking towards Dairoku to gauge his reaction.
"Pfft, you tell me to get creative and then come up with a commoner's name like that? Don't be funny, Megumi..." Dairoku chuckled, lightly kissing Megumi's forehead.
"Haruno-sama, Megumi-san, may I suggest a name?" Haname perked up. Megumi beamed.
"Of course, Haname-chan! What did you have in mind?" Megumi asked politely. Haname's chocolate brown eyes sparkled before she spoke up.
"It's entirely up to you if you do not like the name, but I was going to suggest something that accentuated her vibrant hair colour...I was thinking," Haname took a breath and smiled. "Would 'Sakura' be a good name, do you think?" Haname asked. Megumi gasped and clutched her husband's shoulder, beaming broadly.
"It's perfect! Dai, what do you think!?" She asked, bringing out her well-loved nickname.
"I love it also. You were giving a nod to the pink flower, Sakura, weren't you, Haname-san?" Dairoku gently smiled as Haname's reply of 'I reckoned that it fit rather well.' ensued as well as a detailed explanation of what was to be of the bundle of joy in Megumi Haruno's arms.
And so, Sakura Haruno was born.
Megumi looked down towards her child, her expression a mix of concern and content.
My little girl...I love you. I thank heaven for the miracle they have given me today... Megumi smiled down at the pink-haired girl, who was silently stirring in her sleep. Megumi's smile fell. What a hard life you may have, Sakura. I apologize. You will carry the Haruno Clan's future on your tiny shoulders. You are our destiny. You will decide our fate. Please, please, please, I wish for your safety.
So, that's the first chapter! Thanks for reading. Below I will be naming the four OC's in this, their appearance and who they are as well as age.

Haname Haruno: She has light blonde hair that she wears in a bun, two pieces of hair that dangle beside her ear and she has brown eyes. She is a distant cousin from Sakura, however her and Megumi are very close, so she is seen as Sakura's sister. She's not very close to Dairoku, but Megumi is like a mother to her.
