Flashback

"Shinachiku! i want you to take Hanami and Orenji and get out of here!" Screamed Sakura as a dark figure came closer.

The children where scared. Hanami was hugging Orenji close to her,tears sliding down her face, as they both hid behind there older brother Shinachiku.

"But Mo-" Shinachiku started, tears being held back as he tried to stay strong for his family, but he was cut off from his mothers interruption.

"I said leave!" Screamed Sakura. Goodness knows she hated yelling at her children, but it was the only thing she could think of to get them to leave and get to safety. If anything were to happen to them, Sakura didn't know what she would do.

Shinachiku hesitated, not knowing what to do. On one hand, he wanted to stay by his mothers side and fight along with her, in order to help protect her and there village. However, he could see the look in her eyes. The look that screamed, begged and pleaded for him to leave and take his younger siblings to safety.

The dark figure was coming closer. Shinachiku knew exactly who this man was and what he was capable of. This man was once his fathers best friend, and his mothers old childhood crush. This man was a traitor, and a murderer. Shinachiku was quickly brought out of his thoughts as he heard the cry of his little brother.

"Mommy!" Yelled Orenji. He tried to get out of his sisters grasp and run to his mothers side, but it was no use. Orenji didn't know what was going on, all he knew was that they were in danger and his father, his hero, the savior of the world was no where to be found. He wasn't here protecting them like he usually would and this scared Orenji. However he dismissed the thought and continued to try and run to his mother.

"That's enough!" Sakura yelled. She had to get them to leave now or else they would see something they didn't need to see.

Sakura knew she was no match for the dark figure. After 12 years of parenting, it started t take a toll on her shinobi skills, and she knew that to even have a chance at beating this man you had to be at the top of your game. However; that didn't mean she wasn't going to try, especially to protect her children. All she needed was for them to leave so she could make her move.

"Listen to me" Sakura started slowly. " I want you all to know that I Love you all so very, very much." She paused. She knew this was going to be the last time she saw her children so she had to make her last words count.

"Shinachiku, the day your father and i found out i was pregnant with you, was the happiest day in our lives. I cannot tell how proud i am of you. You have only recently become a Genin however your skills are well beyond your years. Yet despite your skills you still know how to humble yourself and show love and compassion towards everyone you meet. Just like your father. I am so so very proud of you my darling boy. I love you so much and i want you to promise me you'll take care of your siblings and your father. Do you understand? i need you to be strong Shina. I love you so much." She finished.

Shinachiku had tears in his eyes. For he knew too, that for his mother to be saying such things, this truly would be the last time they saw her. He quickly gave his mother a tight hug and a kiss on the cheek. To which she returned with a hug herself and a kiss on the forehead.

Sakura turned to Hanami."Hanami. You truly are our little princess. You have grown into such a beautiful young lady. I only wish i could see you grow to become a fine young women. Because by the looks of it you are going to turn into such a beautiful women who break a lot of hearts. Don't be in rush to grow up to quickly though. I don't think your father will be able to handle it" Sakura giggled slightly, as did Hanami. Both having tears sliding down there faces."I'm proud of you and i love you so much. Watch out for your brothers. You know how boys can be. Goodbye my darling daughter" Sakura whispered the last part as she hugged Hanami and kissed her forehead. She than turned to her final child. Her baby boy. Orenji. she kneeled down in front of him and held him to her chest.

"Mommy? whats going on? and where's daddy? he should be soon right? right? he'll save us for sure!" Asked the distraught boy as he looked up at his mother with tears running down his face. Sakura's heart breaking at the sight.

"Orenji. I know you probably don't understand right now, but you will when your older. But i want you to know that I love you, okay? Mommy will always, always, always love you. No matter what happens okay? I love so much my little Fox." Tears coming down more heavily as she realised there time was almost up" I want you to grow up to be whatever you want to be okay? it doesn't have to be a Ninja if you don't want okay? Whatever you want to do okay? I want you to grow up into a nice and polite young man. Eat all your vegetables, and drink lots of milk. Make sure you take baths regularly no matter how much you hate them alright?" Sakura paused slightly."I love you Orenji, please never forget that, and please don't blame your father, he loves you just as much as i do and he will probably already blame himself enough"

Sakura let go of Orenji and looked towards the dark figure who had finally stopped. She than quickly turned to her children and looked them over one last time before she turned towards Shinachiku and gave him a single nod.

Shinachiku had tears finally pouring freely down his face. "Goodbye mother. We love you" He said, before he quickly scooped his younger brother up into his arms.

"No! wait! mommy!" Orenji screamed as his mother started walking away towards to shadowy figure. Try as he might he just couldn't get out of his older brothers grasp.

"Hanami" Shinachiku said simply. Hanami looked to her Older brother. His face now devoid of any emotion, but she new better. She than turned towards her little brother, who was squirming trying to get free. She than gave Shinachiku a single nod and they started to run to the opposite direction.

"No! No! Mommy!" Orenji screamed again. And again, it was no use."Let me go Shina! i want mommy!" Shinachiku ignored his brothers cries though, and continued on.

Orenji was starting to get mad. Nobody was listening to him. His mother was walking towards the scary figure and his father was nowhere to be see. His rage was starting to bubble up inside of him. He could feel it. He could also feel something else that he wasn't accustomed to.

"Let me go Shina! I want mommy! Hana help me!" Again his cries were ignore. That was it. That was the last straw. He wasn't just angry now. He was furious.

All of the anger that started to bubble up inside of Orenji suddenly came out. Literally.

"ARGH!" All of a sudden a huge burst of Chakra blasted from Orenji.

"What the he-Argh!" Shinachiku started but was immediately cut off because of the burning sensation he could feel on his arms. He quickly let go of Orenji as he was blasted away from his little brother.

"Aaahhhh!" Hanami screamed from the pain of the blast. She had no idea what happened. All she knew was that something was wrong with her little brother.

As soon as Orenji was free he started running back towards his mother. What he failed to realise however, was that he was running on all fours. Surrounded by blazing chakra.

As soon as Orenji got back where he had left his mother, he was greeted to a horrific sight.

There lying still on the ground, covered in blood, was his beloved mother. Standing above her with a sword also covered in blood, was the dark figure Orenji had seen before. However, now he seemed have two Red blazing, terrifying eyes. Looking directly at Orenji.

Orenji didn't know how to feel, what to do, or how to act. All he knew was that his mother had been take from him. And it was all that mans fault. Suddenly an even bigger wave of rage started to hit Orenji, and he was lost in the heat of anger. Orenji suddenly ran at the man, fast than anything the man had seen. The mans eyes widened slightly as Orenji ran at him. He was caught off gaurd as Orenji actually managed to slash he face. Right over his eye.

"Argh!" The man screamed as he jumped back. He than looked back up at Orenji. Eyes blazing "You'll Pay for that!" The man said in a deep, dark voice. Before he ran towards Orenji.

Orenji saw the man run at him before everything went black.

Flashback - End

Sitting on top of the Hokage Monument, was 15 Year Old, Chunin, Orenji Uzumaki. He was wearing A black T-Shirt, with a yellow short sleeved jacket over it with the Uzumaki family crest on the shoulder. he also wore long black Ninja pants with a Kunai pouch on his left thigh. On his forehead, helping tame his shaggy fiery red hair, was Konoha Leaf Village Headband. It had been Six years since that horrifying night, yet Orenji found that he could just never forget what happened. He could never move forward from what had happened.

"Whachya thinking about, huh, little brother?" Said a voice behind him.

Orenji turned around and was face to face with his older sister, Hanami Uzumaki. Six years since the incident and, just like his mother said, she truly has blossomed into a beautiful young women. But, he certainly wouldn't tell HER that. Her pink hair was tied up with a fringe hanging to the side. She was wearing a red sleeveless top that stopped just above her belling button. She than wore a pair of Navy blue shorts that stopped just above her thighs. She also wore a pair "of long black stockings that went up to above her knees and some simple grey ninja sandals. On the side of her left thigh sat a kunai pouch, and right on top of her forehead sat her red Konoha Leaf Headband. Or, more specifically, there mothers, which was given to her by there father. Hanami, now 17, was a Jonin, and one of the best medics in the village. Just like there mother. Honestly, sometimes he felt that when he was looking at Hanami, he was looking at his mother. Which was when the memories would start. Again.

"Wouldn't you like to know" Orenji scoffed. It wasn't that he didn't trust his sister, he just never wanted to burden anyone else with his problems.

"I would, actually. You never talk anymore Orenji. It scares me to know my little brother is hiding things from me, that i could possibly help with. Hell, Shinachiku is always trying to get you to come out of your shell but all you do is push him away. We care about you Renji, don't you see that?" Hanami said, a little emotional. She knew exactly what was wrong with her little brother, but it wasn't her place to force anything upon him. She just wanted him to open up.

"Just leave me alone Hana. Nothings wrong with me. I'm fine. You guys are just over reacting, relax" Orenji replied. Feeling abit annoyed at her for pestering him as usual.

"Orenji seriously we're worried about you" Hanami paused, before continuing with caution." All you do is train, you never go out and have with friends. Its sad. To just watch you waste your life-." She was cut off by Orenji's interruption.

"Waste my life?" Orenji asked, his voice low and somewhat dark. Hanami felt a chill go down her spine as she looked at her brother.

"I just me-" She was once again cut off. This time she could see how furious her brother was. And truthfully? she was a little frightened.

"The reason i train so hard, is because i want to become strong. I don't have time to go out and have 'Fun'. I can't afford to be weak. We are in a time of war. Just because we are in the village doesn't mean we are safe" He paused. " You know as well as i do how true that statement is" He finished, hinting to the night his mother died.

Hanami just sighed, deciding to let the topic drop. For now.

"Okay, Renj, just don't forget. I'm here if you need me. So is Shina, and everyone else to. We all care about you" Hanami finished, walking away from the monument. Leaving her brother to his thoughts

'I can't afford to be distracted right now. I need to be strong.' Orenji sighed as laid down on the ground and looked up to the clouds.' I will avenge you mother. I Promise you that.'
