A couple weeks later after resting for awhile and setting up a routine with her children, Misaki, Ren, Kanon, and Yukina, Sakura decided it was time to address the clan as a whole for the second time since she had become the Head of the Kamizuru Clan.
Only problem was that Shikamaru wouldn't get his lazy bum up "I swear men are so useless sometimes" Sakura bared her teeth and stormed down the hall, Yukimaru swung his door open and leaned his head around the corner of his door frame.
'Uh oh Otou-san has done it again' Yukimaru's eyes widened as Sakura came back with a smirk on her lips and a mischievous glint in her eyes, killing intent was wafting off of her in waves she slammed the door to her room shut a moment later.
Yukimaru slowly closed his door ignoring the screams of agony coming from his parents room, otou-san had deserved whatever punishment Sakura was currently giving him, plus there was no way he would ever intervene when his mother was angry about something.
Inside the bedroom Sakura had dropped a bucket of ice cold water on Shikamaru after removing all of his clothes and the blankets and then picked him up to set him in the bathtub "Shikamaru my Shadow King, wake the hell up" she snarled just as his eyes fluttered open.
Shikamaru screeched in agony as the ice water burned his skin "Sakura what the hell" he gasped, then he looked at the time and cringed, he had overslept and Shikamaru knew that his wife didn't like it when people were lazy on important days.
"You have Ten Minutes to Get Dressed Shikamaru Kamizuru, then twenty to gather the entire clan and have them at the meeting hall" Sakura planted her hands on her hips angrily and Shikamaru scrambled out of the bathtub slipping and sliding on the left over water.
Sakura smiled sweetly finally this day was getting started "I'll wake the kids" she skipped out of the bathroom and knocked on Yukimaru's door it swung open "Get dressed in your best clothes we have a meeting in little less than an hour with the entire clan" Sakura ordered.
"Of course Okaa-chan" Yukimaru shut his door then locked it just in case Mitsubachi got one of her crazy ideas again, lately the six year old girl had been driving him up the wall, she was one of the prodigy's like he had been only better.
Mitsubachi wasn't annoying or anything it's just that she kept finding ways to get in his room and he still had no idea how she did it, Yukimaru shook his head and dug through his dresser looking for his best yukata.
Down the hall, Sakura opened Mitsubachi's door when the little girl didn't respond, Sakura sighed Mitsubachi was still knocked out and snoring, it had been difficult for all of them to establish a proper routine with the quads so hardly any of them had gotten sleep.
Sakura hated to do this, so instead of waking Mitsubachi up right away she dug through the girls dresser and pulled out the kimono she had gotten her a year ago, Sakura was sure it would still fit because Mitsubachi hadn't grown to much.
"Mitsubachi my little honeybee it's time to wake up we have a big day today, some changes are going to be made" Sakura patted Mitsubachi on the head and tickled the girls side, her eye lashes fluttered before her eyes opened.
Mitsubachi yawned and picked up her glasses that were on her bedside table "Good morning Kaa-chan" she stood up and headed out of the room stumbling on things because she was only half awake after splashing water on her face Mitsubachi returned looking much more alert.
Sakura helped her daughter into the kimono "Perfect fit" she sighed in relief "Now we won't have time to eat a full course breakfast so I've made some snacks for everyone to eat on the walk to the meeting hall" Sakura addressed the houses occupants.
"Madara, Izuna you stay here watch over the animals" Sakura turned to the two males that would be moving out soon, Yukimaru would be taking Madara and Izuna's room over when they left and had started packing up his room already.
Madara tilted his head in understanding while Izuna sulked, the family of eight left the house "It's gonna suck not seeing Sakura and these people all the time" Izuna would be moving into the Uchiha compound and going on a five month mission.
"I wish I could say I know how you feel but thanks to Koe being friends with that woman and her taking me with her on her mission to get rid of the Aburame Elders who deserted the village, I'll still get to see her a lot" Madara sniggered and started making breakfast for the both of them.
Izuna sighed "Don't fret Izuna-san, trust me Sakura has the Uchiha's over regularly for lunch" Midori padded into the kitchen and Izuna raised his head "That means Madara-san and Koe-san, you, Itachi-san, Sasuke and Fu will be invited along" she explained and let out a barking laugh.
"Thanks Midori" Izuna scratched her on the head "Say how old are you exactly" he gave Midori a closer look, the wolf hadn't aged a day since he had known her, Midori gave Izuna a mildly offended glare.
Midori raised her head up high "Don't you know its rude to ask a girl her true age" she huffed and swished her tail, Midori shook her head in exasperated when Izuna stared at her in horror and quickly started spewing out apologies.
"Relax Izuna-san I was just messing with you and as for my age I was four when Sakura found me in the grass village so I'm 15" Midori thought back "It was really funny, she took pity on me and saved me from a life of solitude in that shop" she laid down.
Madara's eyebrows furrowed in confusion "You mean Sakura saved you to" he wandered who else the woman had saved in her twenty three years of life, it was crazy if Midori had been four then Sakura had to have been 14 back then.
A knowing look entered Midori's crystal blue eyes but she remained silent and padded back to the animal room, that was another thing that was changing a part of the house was going to be dedicated to the companions and Sakura was going to hire maids.
Part of the house would change to fit five maids and it would become their wing one maid that would be coming into the house was Keiko the others Shikamaru and Sakura would interview but that wouldn't be until after the wing was fixed up.
Once that was all done Mitsubachi would also be getting a room change, she had decided that she loved heights just as much as her brother had so instead of down in the family wing of the house, the six year old girl would be taking the attic.
That left four free rooms and when the quads were old enough each of them would get their own rooms leaving the last one free for whenever Mitsubachi decided to join them in the wing again, every child needed their own sense of independency after all.
While that was all going on Sakura would most likely hunt down Kakashi and teach him a lesson to remember then take Madara, and Gisei and leave the village for a couple of months to take the Uchiha around to each village and hunt down the Aburame Elders.
While Sakura would be gone, she was going to appoint Hidan and Suzumebachi as temporary leaders of the Kamizuru clan which was what part of the clan meeting was all about, the other half was making a speech and introducing the quads.
When Sakura would return, Ibiki would take Yukimaru and Yume out on the road to teach them torture and interrogation techniques for a couple of months and Tsunade would take Tsukiko out of the village for six.
During that time, Jashin, Mamoru who would be going to the academy and Shinsetsu will move temporarily into the guest wing that was also being fixed up, after that Sakura and Shikamaru would have another meeting just with Suzumebachi and Hidan and then take two months off.
When Sakura got back Yukimaru and Yume would be in the village and then there would be a four month waiting period until Tsunade and Tsukiko got back, Jashin and Sakura's half brothers would leave and everything else would fall into place.
Midori sighed by the time everything happened Kemuri who was pregnant would have her septuplets and then when each of them were five they would bond with the wolf pups and be enrolled in the academy.
In one more year Mitsubachi would begin her training with Kyojin and make a contract with a little hornet, when the little ones turned five they would make either a contract with Tomo or Kyojin as per the agreement of the Kamizuru Clan Summons.
"Time sure does fly by" Midori laid down on Sakura and Shikamaru's bed, it had been a long time since she had been allowed in but with the birth Shikamaru had relented and now she spent most nights cuddling in between the two.
At the very back of the Kamizuru Compound all of the Kamizuru's gathered for the second time since they had moved here well over a year ago Shikamaru had done his part so now he was just waiting to stand up and show off each of his children as Sakura called their names.
Sakura cleared her throat "Everyone if you would please sit" she amplified her voice with chakra to make sure everyone heard her, Sakura nodded a moment later "Thank you everyone, I know that this is probably a bad time but this needs to be done" she smiled sheepishly.
Whenever Sakura got in front of crowds of people she turned nervous as was the case even now "As you all know I had my quadruplets recently but that's not the only point of this meeting" Sakura got down to business.
A man with dark brown hair and brown eyes raised his hand "If I may ask Lady Sakura what else could you have called us here for" he asked some others nodded in agreement they to wanted to know what was going on so they could go home.
"I'm getting to that Gomubachi-san" Sakura gave a little laugh "There are several topics for today's meeting so I suggest for everyone to get comfortable we will be here for awhile" she wiped the smile off her face and became serious.
Gomubachi was in awe, this was the leader of them and she was doing brilliantly, at first none of them were sure Sakura was up to the job of being clan leader but she had made sure they had a true home and that all of their problems were taken care of.
"Now the first order of business is Minato has finally decided to get to work and start handing out missions to help out with each of you, everyday there will be people genin and chunin teams mainly" Sakura looked down at her stack of papers.
The gathered Kamizuru's cheered they had been waiting for months to have all of their problems that had cropped up dealt with, they all knew that it had been important that Minato focus on the chunin exams.
Sakura smiled fondly this was her family where she belonged, she shook her head "Next on the list is if any one of you have something they want to talk about Kabuto and four other medics will be moved here into a small clinic that's being built" she read off.
"You mean like therapy lessons for emotional support right" Jibachi who understood what Sakura was trying to say called out, Sakura nodded "That will be wonderful I'm sure a lot of us have emotional and physical problems" he clapped his hands boosting his niece's confidence.
Sakura gave everyone a pretty smile "Thank you Jibachi for clearing that up, but yes for that very reason does anyone have a question they would like to ask" she paused for a few minutes to let anyone speak up if they wanted to.
"Alright then, after the clinic is built a field on the empty side will be remodeled, I know everyone misses bee hives and the caves in which their summons take residence, if anyone has suggestions I'm all ears" Sakura picked up where she left off and moved to the next topic.
Nameranabachi raised her hand, when Sakura gestured for the dirty brown haired woman with blue eyes to speak she did so "Does that mean we are going back into the honey business" she questioned shyly.
Sakura laughed kindly "Yes Nameranabachi-san we'll be selling honey down at the market and that's what the next topic is all about I need five volunteers, one to take care of the hives, one to make the honey, and three to work the booth where we'll be selling it" she looked around.
Nameranabachi raised her hand again and so did four others, Shikamaru scratched down their names as they stated them, he had been taking notes so far like Sakura had asked him though it was difficult since he was holding the quads.
"Before I go on, I'm just going to warn everyone that with all the renovations and construction going on here in the compound it's going to be noisy, I ask that you bare with it for the time being" Sakura was worried that the Kamizuru's would start complaining.
The Kamizuru's as a whole murmured in agreement "Now also in conjunction with the clinic and the hive and cave field being built and remodeled there will be a small building built that will allow you to submit reviews" Sakura paused and bit her lip.
"If any of you feel like Shikamaru and I aren't doing our job properly you need to let us know what we are doing wrong, that's what the building is for" she explained sheepishly, Sakura wanted to make sure that everything was running smoothly.
"And there will be a library built in the center of the compound the library in the village will be donating some books for us and we'll have a wide variety" Sakura threw out there for everyone who had been asking for a library.
Shiawasenabachi giggled but raised her hand like the others "We understand Lady Sakura, but in my opinion you are doing quite excellent none of us have worried about anything since we came here" she flipped her blonde hair over her shoulder and peered up with her hazel eyes.
Shikamaru grinned internally, everyone that encountered Sakura usually fell in love with her at first glance except for those Aburame Elders they had never liked the little girl Shibi had adopted and brought into the clan, they called her troublesome.
'And Sakura is troublesome but she's totally worth it' he sighed in content and bounced Kanon when she emitted a tiny cry, Kanon was the only one who didn't really cry loudly, her lungs were fully developed but it was like she could sense what was going on around her.
Sakura looked up at the clock a lot of time had passed and now it was nearly noon "Alright we'll break for lunch, I have a room full of food set up in the dining hall so please everyone help yourself" she stepped away from the podium.
"And hows my precious little girl" Sakura scooped Kanon into her arms and rocked from side to side "Stinky looks like someone needs a diaper change" she skipped off with the little girl in her arms and headed to the bathroom carrying a bag full of baby stuff.
Suzumebachi scurried after her niece carrying Kirimi who was screaming at the top of her lungs and also needed to be cleaned up if the smell wafting from her was any clue, both women expertly changed their daughters diaper after washing off their bottoms in the sink.
"Your doing good Sakura" Suzumebachi praised Sakura who smiled sheepishly and bounced in place, Kanon enjoyed the motions and started blowing spit bubbles happily "Your children are adorable" she smiled and looked down to her own daughter.
Sakura creased her forehead in concern "I mean all of us were shocked to find out that you had the reincarnation of Yukina not only that but you named her after Yukina for pete sake" Suzumebachi continued.
"Don't Hibiki and Kirimi are wonderful not to mention they are just as beautiful as you, though they have some traits of Hidan as well" Sakura smiled sadly, the last thing she wanted to happen was her aunt to start resenting her.
Suzumebachi's eyes widened "Oh Sakura I didn't mean it like that you silly girl" she pulled her niece into a hug making sure to be careful not to suffocate Kanon and Kirimi "Just saying you make some gorgeous babies" Suzumebachi teased.
"Come on I'd like to get some food before it's demolished" Sakura rolled her eyes, in her eyes all babies were gorgeous no matter what they looked like when they were born if the child was raised right then they would grow up beautifully.
After lunch Sakura took her spot at the podium again and looked to her papers, there were only a few more topics left before they could go home "Now the next point is we've been asked to put up green houses and grow a variety of fruits and vegetables" she smiled happily.
"And I'm happy to say that in a couple of weeks my friend who usually lives outside the village will be making a permanent residence here in the compound so everyone treat him kindly" Sakura had sent a letter to Zetsu asking him for his help.
Tsumasakibachi held up her hand she was a girl who had light brown hair and green eyes "I don't have a problem with it besides it will give us Kamizuru's a good name if we start working towards making this a better community" she called out getting others to cheer.
"Thank you Tsumasakibachi-san" Sakura leaned against the podium and looked around the room and at all of the Kamizuru's gathered "I also need five volunteers for that" she straightened and five of the Kamizuru's raised their hand before stating their names for Shikamaru.
Sakura ran a finger down the list of topics "Now for the next it's mainly focused on creating a suitable market place so attached to Suzumebachi's and Hidan's home will be a bar" she smirked when her aunt threw her a glare.
"Before anyone gets angry, I'll tell you what this bar will be for, selling watermelon juice" Sakura snickered and some of the Kamizuru's chuckled and giggled when Suzumebachi huffed and rolled her eyes.
"A store will be set up to sell fruits and vegetables and a farm will be set up on the south side of the compound to raise farm animals for meats and dairy and a wheat field will go next to it" Sakura took a deep breath.
Shikamaru was surprised, he had thought this would take two days to get through all of the things Sakura had to take care of but because everyone liked Sakura this meeting was running quite smoothly and would most likely be finished by six at the latest.
"I realized everyone is getting anxious to go home but there are only a few more topics to address" Sakura picked up on some of the Kamizuru's restless shifting and called them out, the Kamizuru's smiled sheepishly at her before finally settling back down.
Hidan sighed and settled Hibiki in his lap more comfortably, the five year old boy had fallen asleep despite his mothers warning not to, Suzumebachi had shook her head in exasperation but let him sleep it was way passed his nap time after all.
"The next order of business is appointing everyone a job within the compound, so I'm appointing Hidan as the one you'll go to and he'll assign you to the right job that fits your needs" Sakura glanced at Hidan and hoped he wasn't to angry, she hadn't talked to him about this at all.
Sakura held her breath and Hidan finally nodded in acquiesce "Ok we are moving on to the last three points of this meeting the major ones" she continued this was it, Sakura remained calm even though she was nervous as hell.
"Like I said at the beginning of this meeting I was pregnant with quads well two weeks ago all four of my children arrived safely into the world" Sakura smiled proudly as the Kamizuru's cheered the main family was expanding.
Shikamaru shifted and picked up Misaki after setting the others in their buggies "Before I introduce them I'd like to bring my two oldest children up here" Sakura called out quieting the Kamizuru's with a look when they started murmuring.
Yukimaru wearing his special occasion yukata took a few steps forward to stand next to his mother "Now everyone knows Yukimaru, in four years he'll be engaged to Tsukiko Uchu" Sakura introduced her first child to everyone for the first time.
Everyone cheered the Uchu clan was down to only three members currently with the Lady pregnant with a son "I saved him when he was only seven years old but needless to say I am proud of the accomplishments Yukimaru has gathered" Sakura pulled the teen into a hug.
"Are you going to name him as your heir" Kurobachi shouted over the noise enquiringly, this caused everyone to fall silent and stare at the fourteen year old with appraising eyes, they all thought he would make an excellent clan leader.
Sakura bit her lip "I am not, Yukimaru and Tsukiko have decided to take on the Uchu clan together" she explained, Sakura knew that she wouldn't force Mitsubachi to take on the burden of becoming clan head either because for whatever reason she wanted to become Hokage.
Yukimaru took his seat again when Sakura gave him the signal to sit back down "The second child born of true Kamizuru flesh and blood Mitsubachi" Sakura beckoned the blue haired mismatched eyes glasses wearing girl over to her.
"She was brought to me by my step family, and Mitsubachi has blossomed in the last year" Sakura pulled the girl into her arms and rubbed her nose against Mitsubachi's "She also will not be named heir, Mitsubachi has claimed to become the Hokage someday" she laughed softly.
Mitsubachi's cheeks turned red in embarrassment but hurried back to her seat so that the meeting could move on "And now I'd like to introduce the children born of my flesh and blood" Sakura turned to look at Shikamaru and nodded.
"Misaki Kamizuru was the first born of my quads" Sakura gestured for Shikamaru to take his place and show of the black and pink haired girl with onyx and green mismatched eyes, Sakura rattled off the tiny girls information before Shikamaru went to get the next baby.
Sakura sighed wearily she still hadn't quite got all of her strength back "The second born Ren Kamizuru" Sakura again told the Kamizuru's his details, Shikamaru held up the black haired boy with light green eyes.
Shikamaru went back and picked up Kanon and went to stand next to Sakura again "Before I introduce my next daughter, I will say this, Ren Kamizuru will be the heir to the Kamizuru clan" Sakura called out and got cheers.
Sakura cleared her throat "My third born, Kanon Kamizuru" she smiled, her children were all adorable, Shikamaru lifted Kanon high into the air she had pink hair and onyx eyes, while Sakura told everyone the girls details, before Shikamaru went back to get Yukina.
Here Sakura got stuck, her throat seized up and nervousness filled her from the inside out 'You can do it Sakura tell them' Isobu appeared this was one of those times Sakura really needed encouragement from someone.
Sakura took a deep breath "Now my last and final child might come as a surprise to all of you, I'm sure you all remember my birth mother Yukina" she bit her lip harshly but it didn't bleed, everyone gathered nodded and mourned the loss of such a wonderful woman.
"My last daughter the fourth born is Yukina Kamizuru, go ahead Shikamaru show her to them" Sakura turned around to stare at her husband of five years, he held up the purple haired girl with dark emerald green eyes and it became silent.
Kurobachi and Jibachi who had been out of town for the two weeks after Sakura had given birth hadn't seen the final girl from the quads Sakura had, had "Bless our souls it's Yukina reincarnated" he whistled and everyone cheered again.
Everyone fell silent a moment later when Shikamaru sat down "And for the final topic of this meeting, I will be busy for the next two months for a mission and then I'll be taking a two month vacation with Shikamaru" Sakura smiled sheepishly.
"So I'm appointing Hidan and Suzumebachi as temporary leaders of the clan" Sakura announced and the Kamizuru's nodded in acknowledgement, everyone needed a break sometime and Sakura did have her students.
After that the meeting was dismissed and everyone went home, tomorrow would be the start of a new adventure for Sakura's family and friends, dinner was eaten and everyone in the house went to bed.
