"Sister please tell me about my name please," Itachi said on his third birthday to his smiling sister. "But you've heard it over a thousand times," Shurrei complained. "Please," Itachi pleaded. Shurrei pondered the thought for a moment before saying, "Yes". She sat down and seated herself in the traditional way placing her hand on her thighs to signal Itachi to sit on her lap. Itachi quickly took a seat on Shurrei's lap.
"Shurrei, you are here to see the new head of household of the Uchiha the child that will replace you," Fugaku said sternly to his 7 year old daughter. "I understand, Father," the little girl said obediently. The doors of the Nursery opened to show Mikoto lying in a hospital bed holding baby in a bundle of cloth. Shurrei raced to her mother's side and looked at the small child. The baby looked up at her and seemed to smile. She gave the baby a smirk. "Itachi," Shurrei mouthed.
"Onee-chan," Itachi said with a smile. "Ni-chan," Shurrei replied with a smirk. And for the rest of that day they watched the cherryblossums bloom together.
