Chapter 1: Happy 10th Birthday Akira!

Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday dear Akira
Happy Birthday to you!

Everyone sang that to Uchiha Akira. Of course as you can probably figure out, it is her 10th birthday party.

"Thank you everyone." Akira said putting on a wobbly smile for everyone so they wouldn't see how embarrassed she really was.

"PRESENT TIME! COME ON EVERYONE I WANNA SEE HER OPEN THE PRESENTS!" Uzumaki Naruto and his son Uzumaki Ramen screamed.

"G-g-guys y-y-you d-d-don't have t-t-t-to y-y-yell." Naruto's wife Hinata said.

"Alright. I will open the presents." Akira said as she walked over to her giant stack of presents.

"Now who's should I open first? There are so many choises." she asked.

"MINE MINE MINE!" Ramen yelled as he thrust his present into her arms.

Akira looked startled as she sat down in her fathers chair and held the orange and blue poorly wrapped present in her arms. She slowly unwrapped it and saw a white box. She then opened the white box and saw the most BEAUTIFUL outfit in the world.

It was a pure silk dark blue kimono with a red and white tie to go around the waist. It came with a dark brown pair of sandals that were a couple sizes bigger then her feet but they were so she could grow in them so she could use them all the time. It also came with two black chopsticks to put in her hair and a dark blue, white, and red fan. Then there was also jewelry that came with it. There was a silver necklace that had a charm of the Uchiha clan symbol. It also came with two pairs of earrings. The first pair was silver with moons at the bottom and the second pair was golden hoops. There was also a little bit of makeup included.

"Oh...my...god... RAMEN YOU'RE THE BEST BOYFRIEND EVER!" Akira said as she jumped on top of him and gave him the biggest hug ever.

Ramen sat up and put his hand on the back of his head and laughed. Akira got back in the chair.

"Ok which present should I open next?"

Ramen shoved another present in her hands. "It's from your mother." he said softly.

Akira looked at the medium sized present in her hands. She slowly began to take off the pink wrapping paper and saw yet again, a white box.

She opened the white box to find a birthday card that read.

To my baby girl Akira,

Sorry mommy can't be there today. But your father would probably kill me if I showed up. So I sent this package over with Ino and Shikamaru. I hope you like it because I think it is something you will like. Sorry I am such a screw up.

Love,
Mommy

Akira opened the box to find her mothers old training uniform. (You know her red dress thingy and those pants and stuff) There was also a bright pink kimono and silver globe earrings. Also there were some new weapons in one of Sakura's old weapon pouches that she used to have on her leg. (You know.)

Sasuke just raised an eyebrow as he wondered why Sakura would send over her old clothes to his daughter.

What is Sakura planning? Why is she sending over her old things to Akira? It's just a mystery. But then again, that is Sakura for you now days. She is just sending over things for Akira. But, if it doesn't bother Akira, I guess it is alright.

Akira just placed to gift off to the side as Ramen placed another package in her arms.

"It is from Neji and Kagura." Akira said.

Akira opened the package to find a pink wig and some pink clothes and a birthday card that read "Happy Birthday Akira" and a death wish from Kagura. Akira just placed it on the side not bothering to see what else was in it.

Naruto walked over and placed a package in her arms this time. Akira just looked at him and took off the orange wrapping paper. Her eyes widened when she saw what she saw.

It was Naruto's old orange coat. It was the thing she loved ever since she was a little kid. She loved the smell of it for some reason. She loved how squishy it was when she had used to sit on Naruto's lap when he had picked her up from school some days and brought her home and she would tell him about her day. Or when he came to baby sit her when Sasuke was out on a mission or taking care of some important business. She had always loved the white fluffy collar and all its pockets and such.

Akira's eyes brightened for the first time in a long time. She ran and gave Naruto a giant hug while Sasuke stood there in utter and complete shock.

Naruto beamed at everyone showing how HE, Naruto Uzumaki, made a little girl truly happy for the first time in a long time.

Sasuke on the other hand, was in complete shock at the fox. Sasuke knew how much Akira had loved his coat, but for Naruto to give it to her like that was just a surprise to him. Naruto usually gave her coupons to the ramen shack which she loved. But this...This was just unusual.

Akira put the coat on in a flash snuggling into its warmness and smelling its unique smell. She placed her head on the furry white collar and snuggled into it. She then came back to reality as Ramen slipped his mothers gift to her into her arms.

Now, Hinata had this knack for picking out awesome things for Akira since she never had a daughter. So of course, Akira was eager to open the gift from her aunt.

Inside was all this beautiful makeup. There were as many colors as you could imagine. Hinata also gave her niece a bunch of jewelry. Hinata, having a lot of money, was able to get the best things for her niece.

Akira opened a box to reveal a silver chain with her name engraved on it, some diamond earrings, a silver anklet and a silver bracelet, and a whole bunch of other silver things that were beautiful.

"Wow, thank you Auntie Hinata!" Akira said as she hugged her aunt.

"Y-y-your w-w-welcome s-s-sweetie." Hinata said as she became flustered.

Akira climbed back into the chair and Ramen gave her Ino and Shikamaru's gift.

She opened the box to find a scrapbook and a note that said, "You know what to do."

After awhile of opening gifts she got to Lee's gift which was sadly, a dark blue jumpsuit which got tossed aside. Finally came her father, Sasuke's gift, which she had saved for last.

Akira slowly took off the wrapping paper with had the colors of the Uchiha clan on it and saw, you will never guess, another white box.

Akira opened the box to find some of Sasuke's old shirts from when he was younger. There were also some brand new weapons and new pouches to place them in. He also gave her a new backpack to carry her things in. Also, he gave her an old drawing pad of his for some odd reason.

"Thank you all for these beautiful gifts. I appreciate them all." Akira said as she buried her head in Naruto's old coats collar. "You know you didn't have to get them for me. But none the less, I love them all. I love you all more. You are all like family to me. So thank you again." Akira said as she bowed her head.

Ramen smiled, Naruto beamed at everyone again, and Sasuke just smirked.

"You don't turn 10 every day now do ya! We just thought since you entered you 'double digits' that you should have some nice things for yourself. We love you to much Akira. You know that." Naruto said.

Akira nodded and looked at Sasuke. "I will be visiting mother later to thank her for this gift. Or I might just call her. Just so you know."

Sasuke nodded at her and said his usual 'Hn'. Everyone laughed at this since he never refused his daughters requests on her birthday. Even if she wanted to go see her mother.

Akira gave everyone a huge smile and nodded so everyone knew that they could all go chat and such. Everyone luckily got the message and went off to eat and chat. That is when Akira walked over to the telephone to call her mother.

"Haruno Sakura speaking."

"Hello mother."

"Akira! Happy birthday sweetie!"

"Thank you mother and thank you for the wonderful gift you sent me. Even though I don't know why you choose that particular gift this year, I still enjoy it."

"A true ninja is always good at concealing themselves. Ether by hiding from there enemy or by disguise."

"Oh, I see. So that is why..."

"Don't discuss this on the phone Akira. Your father might be listening in. Listen sweetie, I have a feeling something bad is going to happen. Something REALLY bad. That is when you have to use the things me and Neji sent to you. Trust me on this sweetie. Even if it is just this one time, trust me."

"Alright I will. But mother, what do I have to do?"

"When it does happen, you need to come here as quickly as possible. Bring as much things as you possibly can. Then you will find out the truth. Ask before you ask, Naruto already knows."

"Uncle Naruto knows? The truth? Mother what are you talking about?"

"Listen, I can't talk about this now since I do not want to ruin your birthday like so many days in the past. But I want you to come over tonight after your father falls asleep. Wear a disguise and try to get here in the quickest way possible. You will find a note in one of the gifts explaining to your father where you are. He will come to get you sometime tomorrow."

"But mother, father will be very angry with me if I do that."

"Do not worry child. Mommy will take care of it."

"Then I guess I will see you tonight."

"Good. Good bye."

"Bye mother." Akira said as she hung up the phone.

-A couple hours later-

"Bye guys! Thanks for coming and thanks for the gifts!" Akira said as her final guests left for home.

Sasuke shut the door and Akira collapsed onto their dark blue sofa and Sasuke sat next to her. Akira sat up and leaned onto his shoulder and Sasuke stroked her long black hair.

"So what did you mother have to say?"

"Oh, nothing...Nothing at all. She just wished she could have came and wants me to visit soon."

Sasuke chuckled. "Uh huh. I won't bother you about it today Akira."

"Alright." she said as she laid her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes.

Sasuke picked up his daughter and brought her into her bedroom and placed her on her bed. He put a blanket over her and walked out. He then brought in all her gifts so if she woke up or when she woke up the next morning. Sasuke turned on her little nightlight and closed the door.

-About 10 o'clock at night-

Akira turned over on her side to see that her digital clock read about 10. She climbed out of her bed and put her ear up against her wall to check to see if her father was sleeping. Luckily he was. Akira turned on her bedroom light and walked over to her gifts. She finally got to her mothers and looked to see what disguise she should use.

She finally choose a green striped dress that reached to about her knees with spaghetti straps. She looked and saw a brown wig and a pair of her mother's old ninja shoes. Akira slipped on the shoes, ties her long black hair up into a bun, and then slipped on the wig. She then looked around for the note that Sakura said would be there. After awhile of searching, she finally found it and placed it on her bed.

Akira opened her window and climbed out shutting it behind her. She then ran as fast as she could to her mothers. It only took about a couple of minutes to get there at the speed she was going.

Akira walked up to her mother's door and knocked on it. Sakura came to the door.

"Nice to see you again, Akira." Sakura said to her daughter.

Akira took off the wig and looked up at her mother. "Nice to see you too, mother."

Wow everyone, I hope this fic turns out great. And I just realized how long it might be too. The first chapter is sort of...well it's hard to explain. But I dropped a bunch of hints about what is going to happen later. Let's just say Sakura and Naruto play a BIG part in this story. Ramen might too but I'm not too sure.

Don't forget to leave a review! –giggles-

Lots of love,

Minako
