Preface (revised)
Tragedy. The life of Haruno Sakura revolved around it.
Sakura's story begins with a young chunin named Haruno Kizashi. As an only child Kizashi's family had decided his entire life before he had even entered the academy; and he was fast to smash their expatiations of a perfect son. Being born to civilian parents he was expected to take over the family business, marry a nice young girl by twenty and have no less than four kids. But Kizashi, as a child grew up looking to the village shinobi, they were his idols. And he decided that was what he wanted to be. Without his family's support he graduated from the academy at the age of twelve. Haruno Kizashi was not exceptionally gifted in any subject; he was even ranked number fourteen out of twenty-one students. He made chunin at the age of seventeen, almost three years latter than average. His first mission as chunin was to Sunagakure, where he met and fell in love with a kunoichi named Mebuki.
Mebuki, like Kizashi did not hold any real talent; and like Kizashi, her parents did not approve of her becoming a kunoichi. They fell in love over there similar histories and only a year after there meeting she had transferred to Konohagakure and married almost right away. For the next fifteen years the couple tried many times for children. Mebuki did conceive quite a few times, but every baby was miscarried. Their last miscarriage was the hardest on them; Mebuki was twenty-nine weeks along with a son. After the death of their son, Mebuki and Kizashi found out that Mebuki's body could not carry children, due to an accident on a mission when she was only fourteen; and with that news they gave up. But then five years later in the spring, at the age of thirty eight, the Haruno's were blessed with a miracle. A healthy seven pound two ounce baby girl they named for her hair. Sakura.
And thus Haruno Sakura's life began on March 28th.
Sakura's childhood was a happy one, and showed no signs of the tragedy it would become. To everyone, Haruno Sakura was a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day; it wasn't uncommon to see her running around with her bright pink hair and big smile, tripping and falling over everything, with her mother in her wake with a roll of bandages calling her name. It was well known in the village that the Harunos were over protective of their miracle child.
The spring of Sakura's fifth year saw a lot more rain than normal in the village; the farmers didn't enjoy the rain as much as the villagers, all he flood waters killed a large portion of the crops that year. It was after one of the larger storms that Sakura snuck out to play. The main river of konoha had been filled with the rain water, causing the fast moving current to rise far beyond its normal reach. To the young Haruno Sakura, the river was her favorite place to play, with all the pretty flowers and trees; and if she was lucky she might even see a butterfly or a bird! For the sheltered Sakura, being five meant she was clumsy, and oblivious of how slick mud can be, and unaware of how to swim. And so Haruno Sakura's story ended far too soon in tragedy, in the cold, deep, and dark waters of the Konoha River.
death of Haruno Sakura revolved around it.
Tragedy. The life of Uchiha Sachiko revolved around it.
And so where Haruno Sakura's story ended in tragedy; in tragedy Uchiha Sachiko's story started. Uchiha Sachiko's mother Misaki was a child prodigy, having awoke her sharingan at the age of nine and graduating the academy that same year. At the age of only twelve, and with the Uchiha backing, Misaki made chunin. With the end of the war Misaki, like the other chunin, had received more missions outside of the safety the village provided. Misaki was naturally a very beautiful and small child, with long dark hair, dark eyes, and a flawless heart shaped face; she could very easily be the most alluring girl the whole Uchiha clan. So it should not have been a surprise that on her last mission, at the age of thirteen, she attracted the eye of a rouge from Sunagakure she could not defeat. Misaki, being so young, knew her body would not survive childbirth. But even with the horrible act that was committed against her, she wanted her baby so bad that she would gladly give her life to bring Sachiko into this world. So her life she gave on a cold December day only nine months after Haruno Sakura herself was born. Misaki's parents respected her wishes and raised her daughter to the best of their abilities. But as the months past, and the child grew, the clan quickly figured out that Uchiha Sachiko was a true prodigy, mastering everything she put her hands on; A true genius like that which the village had never seen before, even toping the clan heir Itachi in some areas. As the years passed Sachiko's beauty became a legend in the clan, putting even her mother's to shame. When Sachiko was only three a betrothal contract was signed by her clan head Uchiha Fugaku and her grandfather, promising her to the nine almost ten year old clan heir who had shown an interest in her, Uchiha Itachi, upon her sixteenth birthday.
The Haruno's had kept their daughter's death as much of a secret as they could, refusing to come to terms with it, and eventually even lying to friends and family saying that Sakura decided to go visit family in Suna for a few months. So it wasn't surprising that Sachiko never heard of the girl, she was after all only four when Sakura died. She very rarely left the clan compound and she was too busy training to play with kids her own age.
Sachiko was only five was tragedy struck again when her grandparents failed to returned from a mission; And so the Uchiha clan was given a choice, to let Sachiko get adapted to a new family more then likely outside the clan, or attempt to keep her near Itachi where the risks outweighed the positive by far. With Itachi's fascination for Sachiko growing each day, Uchiha Fugaku decided that his son's involvement with the child's grandparents disappearance to be far to odd. There was an old clan jutsu, that he knew of, that could cause the child it was used on to resemble a dead child of a similar age until the sixteenth year. As the head of the Uchiha police force, Fugaku new of the Haruno's problem, as he was the one to pull little Sakura from the river only months earlier.
At the chance of having their daughter back in their eyes, the grief stricken parents were fast to jump on the idea. They didn't think that they were replacing their own little girl; the thought had never even crossed their minds. The papers were finalized, and all reference to the death of Haruno Sakura was destroyed in he village files; And Sachiko was given Sakura face. On paper Sachiko married Itachi on January 20th just before her adoption on the 22nd to an unknown family, just for the clans insurance that she would come back when she was sixteen and jutsu slowly wore off. Nobody would question Sakura's different personality, because surly ten months away could change a lot, And Sakura knew not to show her abilities. And thus Uchiha Sachiko was all but forgotten for the time being. By all but Uchiha Itachi who had an unhealthy infatuation, border line obsession with his child wife, and so he was never told what family she went to, or even what she would look like. His family kept the information from him in hopes that he would one day outgrown it, that decision probably would save her in just a few months time, when Itachi would kill his entire clan leaving only his little brother, who was only slightly older the Sachiko. But in truth all withholding that information did was delay the inevitable eleven years, because Itachi knew his lovely little wife couldn't use someone else's face to hide from him forever. All he had to do was wait until she was sixteen and then she was his again. His to use and love in his own way.
