Prologue:

"Sakura, honey it's a girl," Tsunade whispered, to the new mother beside her.

Sakura smiled gently, trying to catch glimpses of the small child in the arms of her former mentor. It had been a couple of long hard months, from have pains forced upon her body, being forced to bed rest for the last five months and people continuously trying to harm the small child. After everything that had happened, her baby was still alive, still healthily and still with her. Lifting her arms to accept the small baby, Tsunade leaned down and then straighten back up leaving the small child in Sakura's arms.

"She looks so much like him," Sakura said, her excitement unhidden.

"Yes, she does and always will. Remember she is a Uzamaki," Tsunade remaindered her former student.

"No, she is a Haruno and Uzamaki. I'm her mother and her father is…Naruto Uzamaki" Sakura said, as she said what she thought of her best friend and husband Naruto the Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village.

Unknown to everyone at the very same moment deep underground in the Akatsuki base stood Itachi, his eyes pinned on the face of the women in front of him. Her pained expression as she lay on the small single bed, Konan seated beside her helping her as she began to push the baby from her body. Just over an hour later a sad expression fell upon Konan's face and a blank expression upon Itachi's. His attention focused on the small child resting a small cot across the room. It's mother lying dead, centimetres away and yet they still rested.

"This child is going to be strong," Itachi stated.

"He's going to be strong," Konan said, a smirk grew across Itachi's face as he continued to watch over the child.

To Be Continued...Please Comment

For all of the people who have read the original version of this prologue, please note that Naruto was orginally dead. I realised later that I had written him alive in the rest of the chapters so I changed the prologue.
