Chappie 1-
Four kunai whipped past the trees as they hit the targets right on the center. A clap was heard from the background as two persons approached the young girl who had been the one training. Straightening herself up, she looked expectantly at her parents eyes and saw admiration and happiness.
"Saki-chan, that was incredible, some more training and you'll be as great as your onee-chan."
The girl smiled brightly while her pink hair bobbed as she ran to hug her kaa-chan and tou-chan. Her mother smiled happily at her but opted not to hug her as she was dirty and muddy and might end up soiling her. It was not as she minded it but because of an entirely different reason.
"Okaa-chan, why won't you hug me?" Sakura asked pouting and looking terribly disappointed while staring at her parents with big emerald-green eyes. Her mother laughed sweetly and patted her on the head before crouching so that they would be of the same level.
"Saki-chan, kaa-chan and tou-chan would like to tell you something very very important." Sakura nodded and looked expectantly at them while her mother kept on patting her by the head indicating that she was nervous.
"Hai kaa-chan." Sakura stated while smiling widely to show that it would be fine whatever the news would be. Her mother inhaled deeply before closing her eyes and holding Sakura's hands now.
"Dear, you are going to be a- Ryuui, help me out here will you?" Her mother stated while transferring her look to the man beside her who was smiling teasingly at his wife's situation.
"Kaa-chan, what is it?" Sakura asked worriedly while looking at her parents with confusion and curiosity illuminating her eyes. Her father crouched down to and held her small hands while holding Diyane's hand with his other free hand.
"You see pumpkin, you are going to be an onee-chan too." Sakura's eyes widened in surprise and she wasn't able to speak for a minute making her mother uncomfortable.
"S-saki-chan?" To which Sakura did not respond either. Her mother sighed sadly while looking at her husband with eyes that were showing sadness and regret.
"A-are you not glad that you are going to be a sister too?" Her father asked her while she still stared at them like it was the most common thing to do in situations like this.
"O-onee-chan? Me?" Sakura finally said while her voice was hoarse making her mother fidget with her hands.
"Hai Sakura. You are also going to be an onee-chan, don't you like that?" Her father asked her while looking through her eyes looking for answers but finding none at all.
"Like it? Of course not, I don't like it one bit." Her mother inhaled sharply while tensing her hands and looking away guiltily. Sakura had not liked it and that would be hard since it would take her more than that to convince her.
"Sakura, please understand that bei-." Her father was cut off when she jumped up and down excitedly while doing a strange dance and squealing at the top of her voice.
"I don't just like it... I love it! Sakura-nee, kyaa!" Sakura said while squealing happily as she tried her name with the -nee and finding it very cute while hugging her mother who seemed surprised too by her reaction.
"Hahaha, that's good. You had us worried there dear, now come on, I need to change my clothes again and take you to bath, okay? You stink already and we are going to visit someone important, it would be shameful for someone as cute as you to look like a complete mess." Her mother said while holding her hand and leading her away from her training ground. She noticed the unmistakable joy and happiness her mother had in her eyes while she held her hand and her father had his arm slung on her shoulders. They were the epitome of a happy family walking together as if there was nothing that could destroy their happiness.
However, Sakura could not help but feel nerved out by the fact that someone seemed to be watching them from the shadows waiting for the right time to strike out and destroy their happiness. The feeling appeared when they passed by another set of forest.
"Dear, what's the matter now?" Her mother asked her while she looked up confusion evident in her eyes searching her mother's eyes for an answer. They had already stopped and Sakura was looking around frantically as if searching for something missing.
"I thought someone was watching us earlier, it must have been my imagination. I guess, I am tired kaa-chan, no need to worry!" Sakura said while looking at the road warily and holding on to her mother's hands again. Her mother on the other hand looked worriedly at her and then at Ryuui who squeezed her shoulder reassuringly. It was not good to worry herself over such matters as it would harm her and the child.
"Ryuui..." Said man shook her head and smiled at her making sure that she would relax and not let Sakura notice the expression flitting on their faces.
"Yes, I know Diyane. We'll deal with it later okay? For now, let's focus on getting Sakura home and cleaned up. We need her to be with us when we visit them okay?" Ryuui said while kissing her on the lips, calming the woman down as they continued to walk.
"Ew, okaa-chan and otou-chan, don't do that in front of me. It's grossing me out!" Sakura said while making gagging sounds. Her mother smiled shyly before she began to tickle her making Sakura squeal in delight and forgetting the feeling she had earlier ago. They were obviously having fun thus not
noticing the pair of eyes watching the young girl as she happily evaded her mother's attempt of tickling her. They continued this until they reached the Haruno clan house where the two began to head upstairs to take a bath.
"Now Sakura, don't move too much, the water's spilling out of the tub!" Her mother said exasperated as the 6 year-old girl kept on giggling and moving farther away from her kaa-san.
"Kaa-san, I can handle it myself now. I'm a big girl!" Sakura said while her mother sighed exasperatedly again at the girl's childish antics.
"Sakura, please. We are going to be late if you do not cooperate with me here, you do not want your little sister/brother to be sad since you make me feel exasperated right?" Sakura stopped thrashing about in the water and stayed still making her mother finish easier than before all for the sake of her unborn sibling After getting out of the bath, she wore casual clothes that consisted of a maroon shirt that had a zipper in front of her and a skirt that reached her knees and cute blue sandals.
"Are you ready now dear?" Her mother asked her to which she responded with a small nod. They walked out of the room and headed downstairs where her father was waiting.
"Now, we're all ready to go." Sakura looked around searching for any signs of her onee-chan but she saw no one, not even a trace.
"Otou-chan, where is Miyuki-nee?" Sakura asked while her father sighed sadly. This meant that she was away again or just plain too busy with work.
"She can't go with us Sakura since she's on a mission. She's been so busy ever since she was promoted to jounin at the age of 16." Ryuui explained while Sakura nodded understanding the circumstances. It saddened her since she was close with her sister and now that she had been promoted to jounin, she nearly had no time to be with them at all now.
"But don't worry Saki-chan. Miyu-chan will be home tonight so you don't have to worry about missing her. You'll see her soon enough and the two of you can bond together." Her mother said comforting the young girl and removing any room for doubt at all.
"Now, let's go. It would be bad to make them wait any longer now, right?" Her mother said before holding her hand and leading her out of the compound where her father was waiting for them.
"We're all set now I suppose?" Ryuui asked casually as he intertwined his hands with her wife while walking towards the village. Sakura's feet were growing with weary and tireness as they kept on walking. For her, it seemed as if it were hours ago when in fact only 30 minutes had passed.
"Otou-san, where are we going? I'm tired already, otou-san..." Sakura said while stifling a yawn. Ryuui looked at her slightly before smiling, eyes bright with excitement and anticipation.
"Now now Saki-chan. That would be a secret you know. It would be rather bad if you know immediately who we are visting. Don't worry though, we are near and soon you'll be able to meet them." Ryuui said making Sakura pout childlishly and keeping herself closer to her mother. Soon enough, a gate came into view and Sakura couldn't help but feel relieved that they had reached their destination. A woman about her mother's age was holding the hand of a young boy about her age and another boy was standing beside her looking passively at them. A man was also beside the woman and held her hand signifying that they were a family.
"Mi-chan!" Diyane immediatly released herself from Ryuui and Sakura's hold then ran to meet the other woman.
"Di-chan! Is it true that you are with child again?" Her mother blushed slightly before nodding yes making the woman squeal in delight about the news. Ryuu also approached the other man and the two of them greeted each other as if they haven't seen each other for a long time.
"Fugaku..." Ryuui said while slapping the man's back as a sign of recognition.
"Ryuui, congratulations on the baby." Fugaku answered making Ryuui laugh and continuously slap the man's back showing that he was happy too. It would seem that Sakura was forgotten until Mikoto caught sight of her and immediately approached her with such speed. She crouched down to the level of Sakura and looked at her closely before smiling gently at her.
"Hello there, I'm Mikoto Uchicha. I suppose you are Sakura, right?" Sakura nodded her head slowly while looking at the woman's black eyes with her emerald ones.
"I see, why she's such a cute little girl Diyane-chan. You are sooo lucky you know, you got two beautiful girls while I've got two stoic boys." Mikoto said while pouting childlishly at Diyane. Sakura watched them with her emerald eyes before she looked behind the two and caught sight of the two boys
walking towards them while the two older men followed closely, conversing in hushed voices.
"Oh, why aren't they handsome?" Diyane said as the two approached their mother. The older boy held the other boy's hand and then looked at their mother silently.
"What is it Ita-chan?" Mikoto asked while Sakura looked at them curiously. The younger boy ran to their mother and hugged her before sniffling slightly pointing out that he was crying.
"He says that he's scared, kaa-chan." The older boy said, his voice soft and gentle yet with a touch of coldness. Sakura's eyes widened slightly as her emerald orbs were met by obsidian ones.
"Ah, Itachi-kun, this here is Sakura-chan. She's the daughter of the Haruno clan, now, I'll tend to your little brother here, why don't you accompany her for the meantime? Ryuui, Fuga-kun, Di-chan, let's go inside the house now and continue the talk there. Ita-chan, show Sakura-chan around hmm?" Her eyes were glinting dangerously as if daring her son to go against her order. The 10 year-old boy repressed a shudder and instead nodded to show that he agreed to do it.
"Very well then, now, you two best get going." Mikoto said before carrying the other boy in her arms and leading the way to the Uchiha clan house. Itachi on the other hand, grabbed Sakura's hands and led her towards the lake behind the clan house.
"A-ano, Itachi-san..." Sakura stated as they stopped by the lake's edge. Itachi sat down and dangled his feet on the water to which Sakura followed suit too. He was silent and Sakura made it her personal mission to talk with the young Uchiha heir, at the very least to ease up her boredom.
"A-ano, Itachi-san..." The boy looked at her and she felt embarrassed at the look the older boy sent to her. Sakura turned away and decided to ignore the look Itachi had sent towards her, when she felt that he was no longer staring, she decided to turn around and pester Itachi again. However, due to her silence and deep thinking, she hadn't noticed that Itachi had excused himself as he needed to do something important leaving the girl staring into nothing.
"I-itachi-san?" Sakura called out perplexed by the fact that the boy was no where to be seen, it was as if he had vanished into thin air. She felt cold wind slap her in the face and goosebumps formed on her neck and shoulders making her turn around in panic and survey the whole area. Except for the occasional rustling of the trees, there was no other noise. She tried to run towards the area of the clan house but instead she bumped into a clear wall that was put up. Her fear was intensified when the metallic smell of blood reached her nose, it was as if she could taste it herself.
"Why, I never had thought that I'd be able to capture you easily, little girl. But still, as a Haruno you would probably know what we want especially since you seem to be exceptionally talented and intelligent, so before anything else, tell us what we want to know?" Four shinobis wearing a white kimono that was tucked in place by a purple ribbon also appeared behind the first man. They had masks on their face but the intensity of their bloodlust was rolling off them like a wave. Sakura felt herself trapped in between the wall and the shinobis who were cornering her even more.
"I-I don't know what you are talking about!" Sakura said while cowering in fear among their bloodthirstiness.
"Ha, as if you can fool me little girl. I had watched you practice everyday and your parents would always tell you that you will be as good as your onee-chan. Obviously then, you know where she is right? Tell us and you won't suffer death at all, or maybe we'll make it fast." Sneered the man in front, making Sakura cower in fear even more, she felt bile rise up to her mouth but she had decided to keep her mouth shut in every way to protect her older sister.
"What now huh little girl? Will you risk your life to protect you sister huh? Well then, take this." The other man sneered too while throwing a kunai for good measure which grazed her on the arms. The others decided to toy with her even more and forced her to run.
"Run now little girl... Maybe even scream for help, no one will be aware that you are trapped. I have placed a powerful genjutsu that will take a hard time to dispel." The other shinobi, a woman apparently had stated while watching Sakura run as fast as her legs could take her. They kept on throwing kunais and shurikens that had grazed Sakura on the face, arms and tore her clothes slowly.
"Too bad little girl, you are still weak, probably the weakest in the Haruno clan. It would seem like a waste to kill you but orders are orders. Tell us where your heiress is and I'll make this quick." The man sneered again, while watching Sakura, caked in blood, inhale and exhale slowly. As the man came nearer, they felt a malevolent aura emanating from Sakura and they felt repulsed at the idea. However, she giggled evilly and looked up in the skies, her eyes not being seen by the attackers.
"L-let's get this over with, she's probably just scaring us away." The other shinobi stated while they all surrounded the young girl whose eyes were still transfixed at the skies.
"Baka..." Sakura said before lowering her head to make them see what her eyes had became. Instead of the vibrant emerald green color, it had tints of golden and purple at the edge and her eyes had a complex pattern on it. Her left cheek was engraved with a cherry blossom like tatoo and her lips were in
a malicious smirk that made the five shinobis stiffen.
"She is the heiress?" It was more of a question instead of a statement since they too were baffled that the person they were seeking was the weak and fragile little girl in front of them. The fear and panic she had felt probably triggered her seal to release a bit and her dojutsu to appear.
"You talk too much." Sakura said before passing by him like wind leaving nothing but dust. She did the same with the three other shinobis and they ended up lying on the floor, bleeding from the wounds the little girl inflicted on them. The last man tried to run away but Sakura was in front of her in a mere second holding down his throat and looking malicious, just at the time the kunai in the girl's hand was about to hit him in the neck, the genjutsu was roken and there stood the figures of the Uchiha main family and her own family.
"S-saki-chan?" Shock registered in their faces and the couldn't help but feel Sakura's aura emanating malevolence.
"Put the man down now Sakura." Ryuui ordered to which the girl followed and dropped the man gasping for air. However, Sakura would not have any of it and placed chakra binds on them to prevent them from leaving the place. Silence was in the tensed atmosphere when Sakura stood in front of them, her eyes steely and cold not yet returning to her usual bubbly emerald-green eyes.
"Sakura-chan, please listen to me... Deactivate your dojutsu, now." Diyane said while crouching and hugging the young girl which seemed effective for slowly, her eyes returned to normal and sobs raked her body.
"O-okaa-chan, I never thought I'd see you again." Sakura said while sobbing hysterically. Fugaku looked grimly at Ryuui and nodded his head. The plan had to commence, the girl's power had awaken and that meant trouble, if any missing-nins saw what had taken place, they would try any means possible to take and control the pinkette. She had seemed weak and fragile and was underestimated by the people, however, another power lies dormant within her, and now, it has awaken.
"Ryuui, we need to do it. She has awaken her powers now, and it would mean trouble if that happens, you know many are after the Haruno heiress who will have the perfect Shourei Rengan." Fugaku stated not too cold but had conviction in it.
"But she has only awaken her dojutsu, it does not mean that she is truly the heiress. Who knows maybe it is another Haruno child." Reasoned out Ryuui which earned him exasperated looks from everyone. The two Uchiha kids were inside the house now and the only people present were the four of them minus Sakura who had became unconscious from fatigue.
"We need to let her rest for the meantime. Fugaku, Mi-chan, we need to leave now but, I trust that the pact we have made will be followed no matter what the circumstances, yes?" Diyane stated before transporting themselves to the Haruno clan house to tend to the wounds of the younger girl.
"Yes... I have found the heiress already and she shall soon be ours..." Slithered a voice before vanishing from the hidden forest of the Haruno clan house. The plan they had made years ago before the heiress was born shall be put to place now. The Harunos might fight back and retaliate but not if they are
caught in surprise. Yes, soon, it would happen and the Haruno clan will be no more.
