NOTE: Alright, guys. In this chapter, I made Itachi totally as if he wasn't Itachi, but as I said before, it is all about fun anyway. Wish ya good time reading.
Dragon Man 180 – I'm glad you're glad. As you requested, a list of pairings and children. ,,?" Means it's unnamed yet or plays no role in the fic. There you go:
Naruto Hinata = Kitoro, Iruka
Sasuke Sakura = Ideo, Kai
Shikamaru Ino = Aiko, Shigeru
Lee Tenten = Gai, Gi
Neji Hiana = Reika
Kiba ? = Val (Val has a little half brother, son of his mother and her second husband)
Choji ? = Kenji
Shino has no wife or children but raises his orphaned niece Sata
Jinky-Kurapica –Yes, I'm sure that whoever you use the burning letter for will be suprised not less than Sasuke himself , Jinky-chama. (after thinking about the right suffix for you I decided on chama, which is combination of sama and chan and is used to people to whom we have a great respect and friendly relations at the same time).

Episode 3- The Uchihas-Itachi... –Sasuke was staring angrily at his brother. How much he hated him. If he only had enough power to kill him. That would be good. Itachi smirked.
-How nice you still remember my name. So, you know Kisame already. And those are Ryoka, Hro and Kwan. –he said pointing at the woman and two children. All of them had rather small interest in Sasuke and his family. They were just looking at them through dark glasses, with cold nonchalance on their faces. Ryoka was tall and thin. Her hair was very dark brown, nearly black, and looked as if it was cut with a cusp, very regardless. Sasuke couldn't let down the feeling, like if he knew her somehow. Her face reminded him of someone, but who of? Maybe he'll remind it when she takes her glasses of. Hro looked very similar to her mother, but had black hair, after her father. In Sasuke's opinion, she was too pale. Kwan had Itachi's face, only a bit more childish. His hair was very dark brown, like his mothers, but thick and more fended. Like every Uchiha, he was handsome. After doing those short observations of his brother's family, Sasuke introduced his.
-Sakura, Ideo, Kai. –he said, pointing at each. Itachi was looking at his nephews with a bit of jealousy in his eyes. Both boys looked strong. They inherited Sasuke's looks, but had Sakura's green eyes.
-Well, well... you are very lucky, Sasuke. You've got two in one.
-Yes... lucky... –now Sasuke for a moment looked at his younger son. Kai felt fear. He knew, what was his father thinking of now.
SLASHBACK
He ran. Ran, as fast as he could. ,,Dam it! Why in the hell had this to last so long?! Faster, faster!" he thought nervously. He paid no attention to anything he was running past. He just had one thing on his mind: to get to the hospital, to be by his wife, who could start birthing their first child any minute. Good, the hospital was on the horizon. He will be there in a few moments. He already was. Like a tornado, he rushed into the hospital. Then through a corridor. Suddenly, he noticed Hinata, who was supposed to be delivering the baby. She was talking to one of the nurses, and looked rather worried, but he didn't notice.
-Hinata! –he called her. She gasped. Like if she was afraid.
-Oh, Sasuke... –but he was next to her now, speaking nervously between breaths.
-And how (gasp) how is Sakura? Is she (gasp) birthing yet?
-Well... actually, she gave the birth already, and is resting now. –answered Hinata, still worried.
-Yet? Then how did it went? And is it a boy or a girl? Please, tell me.
-Well... it's a boy. Two boys, actually. –announced Hinata. Sasuke's expression went into joyful.
-Two? You mean I have twins? –he couldn't believe. This was too beautiful to be real.
-Yes. And they look so much like you. –so this was true. Twins. He got two sons at once. Happiness filled him completely.
-YOOHOO!!! Twins! I am a father of the twins! –he screamed in joy, jumping. He never felt happier. Well, maybe when Sakura told him she's pregnant. But then he didn't knew that she was pregnant with two children. Two boys. Two sons. Their sons. The future of the Uchiha clan.
-Oh, Hinata, you don't know how much this means to me! –he stopped jumping and hugged Hinata, then hugged the nurse. He felt he's starting to cry in his joy. Hinata and the nurse smiled, but still were a bit worried. There was something terrible that Sasuke had to know. Hinata had no heart to break his happiness, but knew she had to tell him.
-Sasuke, please calm down. I have to tell you something.
-What is it, Hinata? –he asked, not stopping smiling. Hinata sighed.
-Well... you see, the birthing... everything was just fine... till we found out, there's another child still inside. Then, the complications begun. –she was peaking in a sad, peaceful tone. Sasuke begun to get a little worried.
-Complications?
-Yes. Your son got tangled in his umbilical cord. We don't know how. He must've been afraid, cause he started to kick hardly, trying to free himself. We were doing what we could to help him, but he was moving to much. He hurt Sakura from the inside. –now Sasuke was really worried. What was Hinata up to tell him? How did this end? But she said that Sakura is resting. That means she's alive. And the child...?
-But... Sakura is alive, right? –he asked, very worried.
-Yes. She lost a lot of blood, she is weak and tired, but she is alive. It's just...
-Just what?! –Hinata took a deep breath.
-I'm afraid, that she won't be able to have children anymore. –Hinata passed the judgement. The terrible judgement. No more children? It can't be. They planned to have many. To reactivate the Uchiha clan. And now? This dream was ruined... by their own child?
-And... and the children?
-They are both fine now.
-I want to see them. –so Hinata leaded Sasuke to a room, where was Sakura. Lying motionless in a bed, connected to some medical gears. Poor Sakura. There also were two new Uchihas. Lying in peace in some baby-basket-things on the table. Sasuke looked at his identical sons. One had a red bangle around his arm, and the other one had a yellow bangle. One of them nearly killed his mother.
-Which one? –asked Sasuke in blank tone. Hinata didn't understand at first, but Sasuke made himself clear in next questions.
-Which one is to blame for that? Which one is responsible for Sakura's barrenness? Which one has been born second?! –now Hinata understood what was on Sasuke's mind. What does he want to do? Does he want to hurt the poor child?
-But Sasuke... it is not the baby's fault. You can't blame him. It was an accident...
-Don't you understand?! Which one is that?! –he roared in madness. Hinata was afraid, but she kept on trying to calm Sasuke down.
-Sasuke, please don't hurt him! He is your son!
-I know! I won't hurt him! I need both of them to carry on the Uchiha bloodline! Just tell me, which one has been born second! –he demanded. Still unsure, Hinata decided to show Sasuke, which of his sons was younger.
-This one. The one with yellow bangle. –she said and pointed at the little boy with a yellow bangle around his arm. Sasuke stood upon his son. He felt hate towards him. He hated his own son. But he couldn't exhale. Those children are the only ones he'll ever have. He needed them. He needed them both. He needed that little killer.
-You... Do you know, what you did to your mother? What you did to me? You took my dreams away. I wanted to make my clan great again. But you took it all away. You little bastard. If you understand... I promise that one day, I'll make you pay for your guilt. Yes. You'll pay for your guilt, you... you... you devil child.
END SLASHBACK
-Yeah... lucky... very, dam it, lucky to be a father of someone, who drew his mother to barrenness. –Kai gulped. He has always been afraid, that his father may keep his promise. But mother didn't blame Kai. She loved him the same as Ideo. And she would never let Sasuke hurt him. Never.
-So you can't have more children? Pity. I wanted to have more too, but Ryoka refused to co-operate. –said Itachi giving a look at his wife. Then Ryoka spoke for the first time of being here. Her voice sounded rather familiar.
-I told you, Itachi: We won't have more children, unless you will carry the pregnancy and birth. I had pain enough with Hro and Kwan.
-And I had pain enough of putting up with her, when she's pregnant. She was really horrible, especially when she was with Hro. –added Kisame. Ryoka turned to him. It seemed like theese two don't get along quite well.
-Watch out for your words, Kisame. You know what I do to everyone, who dares to offend me or my children. –she warned him. He didn't concern.
-Oh, don't think I would forget, after you broke the chess pole on Itachi's head. But have you forgotten, what I did to you? When you were in the middle of nowhere, unable to defend yourself, who was there to help you with giving birth to your son? I was.
-Yeah, and you quite enjoyed seeing how painful this was for me.
-I did. But that doesn't disturb the fact I helped you.
-Okay, let's get down to buisness! What the hell are you here for!? –roared Sasuke. He terribly wanted to know, what was on his brother's mind. Itachi sighed.
-I don't think you'd believe if I tell you.
-Then try, you bastard!
-Alright. But first, I'd like to check something. How bout a sparing fight between our firstborns? Is that OK. with you? –,,Is that OK. with you?"?! Itachi, what is it all about?! What are you planning to?! OK, whatever. Don't think I don't believe in my son's chances in a fight with your daughter.
-Ideo. –said Sasuke and with a move of his head, ordered Ideo to go. Ideo made a few steps forward. Will he be able to match up with his cousin?
-Hro. –said Itachi and did the same head gesture as his brother, ordering Hro to go. She made a few steps forward as well.
-And Hro, one more thing: Just try to loose it and I'll make a dark age autumn out of your butt. –warned Itachi.
-Thanks for the support, dad. –answered Hro sarcastic. Then she looked at her opponent. She could sense doubt in Ideo. There was a doubt, but also a will of fight. Her cousin seemed rather average for her. Maybe a little better than average, but still not as good as she was. There will be no problem in beating him. Ideo could sense nothing in Hro. No fear, no doubt, no interest, no feelings. She was very mysterious. He was afraid. He don't know his opponent's abilities. He knows nothing. But he will fight her. He'll make his father proud.
-Two and half minutes. –said Kisame.
-One and half. –Ryoka didn't agree.
-Bet. –and they shocked each other's hand. Kwan took a stop-watch from his pocket. It seemed like they're betting about how long will it take for Hro to win this battle. Can she really win that quick? It can't be, thought Ideo. Over my dead body.
-Time: start! –announced Kwan. Ideo took on a ready to fight position, but Hro just yawned and took a notebook looking like thing from her weapon holster and begun to read it. Ideo was confused.
-What... what are you doing? –he asked. Hro responded, not even giving him a look.
-Unriddleing a crossover. Even this is more interesting than a fight with somebody on your level. A heart disease for six letters? –now this was simply insolent. Ideo felt madness. Who does that cow thinks she is to offend him like this? He'll show her, who he is.
-You're dead already! –he shouted and runned to her. She didn't concern. He was getting closer. She didn't even moved. Just one more meter... Suddenly, he felt something on his stomach. In the same second he felt like being upside down. In next second, he hit the ground. What happened? He looked back. He was behind Hro now. She was still working on her crossover. Alright. She got him once, but she won't get him twice.
-Argh! Geronimo! –he roared and started to attack again. This time from behind. He took a kunai from his holster. He'll have no mercy. Just a few more centimeters and he'll put the kunai in her back. He took a attempt. It seemed like he'll made it. But in next second, Hro wasn't there. What the hell? She was here just a second ago. How could she disappear so fast? And where's she? And...
-Huh? Where's my kunai? –now this was surprising. Ideo's kunai disappeared as well. But how?
-Looking for something? –her voice! Behind him! He have to react quickly. But no. Too late. He felt something cold on his neck. His kunai. He felt paralyzed. How could she do it? With such an easiness? She had a full control over this fight. And he could do nothing about it. They both knew it.
-Can't move? Don't ya worry, that's quite normal in this kind of situation. Okay, till three times try. You have one more chance. –with that, she took the kunai away. Alright. Ideo, mobilize! He jumped away. He still has a chance. And he'll use it right. Now, a few seals and a deep breath.
-Gokakyu no justsu!!! –so, a big fireball appeared and flew right at Hro. Alright. It seems like this time it worked. Ideo begun to feel happy. Too early. His technique made no affection on Hro. She stood where she was. Even her crossover was untouched by fire. This can't be.
-Three times failed. My turn now. –she announced. Ideo was really worried now. This will be painful. Hro took her glasses of. She opened her eyes. Now all of the Sasuke's company got bricked up (does this phrase works in english?). There she was, smirking evilly and piercing them with brown eye and white eye. Now her brown eye turned red, and veins appeared around the white eye. This can't be. Byakugan and sharingan together!?
-Show time! –she shouted and ran at Ideo. He could barely see her. She hit him from the left. She hit him from the right. He could do nothing. She was too fast. She touched his arm. He screamed. She touched him right in a tenketsu. Then another. Then again kicks and punches from every side. And finally, one, powerful hit from the front. He flew a few meters and landed right at his father's feet. The match was over. Kwan stopped the stop-watch.
-One minute, 27 seconds. –he announced.
-Argh! –Kisame crossed his face with his hand. Ryoka smiled.
-Hah! Pay and cry, looser.
-I don't get it! Why do I always loose those bets?! –he growled and gave her the money.
-Oh Kisame, it's obvious that I'll measure her chances better than you. I'm her mother.
-I still think you are cheating somehow. –meanwhile, Sakura was helping Ideo up. Kai was shocked. His brother had no chance. Maybe if Kai, who is stronger afterall, was the one to challenge Hro, he would win. No. He would end the same. Maybe after a minute or two more, but he would fail as well. Sasuke was shocked to square. He suspected that Itachi's children will be good, but that girl won with practically no effort. And her eyes... how is that possible? Could this really be a byakugan?
-I'm sorry, dad. Ugh... I tried... –groaned Ideo. He wanted to make his father proud. To show, he's worthy of being a heir to him. And he failed. But Sasuke wasn't angry. He was just shocked. And kept on staring at Hro.
-What the hell... No. You can't have both sharingan and byakugan. Unless... –now Sasuke's sight went to Ryoka. Can she...? Now Itachi's wife (most propably his wife) took her dark glasses of. Her eyes were pearl white.
-A Hyuuga. –now Sasuke could remember. Now he knew, of whom reminded she. Sakura and boys knew as well. The same face...
-I used to be one. Yes, good old times, full of blood, hard work, and parties till everybody's too drunk to even pee straight, and vomit further than is able to see. Yeah... But life with Itachi is even better than this. The only thing I can complain about is his tendency to be an asshole. But nobody's perfect afterall. –Sasuke had to agree with some of theese.
-Right. He is an asshole. And I'm sure that he only wanted to be with you because you're a Hyuuga. He wanted to have sharingan-byakugan children. If you weren't a Hyuuga, he wouldn't never even look at you.
-Then we're worth each other, cause if he weren't an Uchiha, I wouldn't even look at him. But destiny put us together, so here we are.
-Right, you are here. But WHY are you here? –asked Sasuke again. He just had to know.
-May we talk about it inside? –suggested Itachi.
-Inside? Inside my house?
-Yes. Unless you suggest a different house to talk in. –this irritated Sasuke.
-You. You murdered our clan. You doomed me to live in sadness and pain. After all of those, you come without invitation. Your daughter does a rumble to my son. And now you want to go inside my house. Who do you think you are? –Itachi smirked.
-Well, little brother... It seems like I am... The head of the Uchiha clan.
-See? I knew it. (Kai to Ideo)
-Excuse me? (Sasuke to Itachi)
-Hmh... Like I said, Sasuke. Since there were only two of us, with me being the older one, it is pretty clear that who will be the boss. I'm older. I'm stronger. I'm smarter. I'm better. I am the head of the clan.
-Oh no, you aren't. How dare you call yourself the head of the clan that you have killed? –Sasuke couldn't believe how insult his brother was. But Itachi had Sasuke's protests somewhere.
-No, Sasuke. I'm not talking about the clan I killed. The clan I killed was weak. Much too weak. They didn't deserve to call themselves members of a noble clan. The new clan, the one we started, is different. It's strong. Powerful. It is much better than the old one. Yes, the new Uchiha clan is the clan, of which I'm the head of. –now Sasuke was confused. The new Uchiha clan?
-Itachi... I don't understand. –this time Sasuke didn't call his brother a bastard. Or anything else. He felt... what? He didn't knew. Itachi continued.
-You see, Sasuke. Sometimes, for higher purpose, you have to make certain sacrifices. You may not believe, but I loved our family as much as you did. But when you're a ninja, you can't let your filings decide. You must do, what you have to do. And that's what I did. I had to get rid of those people. They were unworthy. Unworthy being an Uchiha. I couldn't bare the shame they brought to the name of Uchiha. I had to kill them. To start over. To make my clan great again. To restart it. I hope you understand. –no. Sasuke didn't understand. Was this Itachi? Was he saying the true? Is that why he killed the entire clan? This was getting more and more confusing.
-But... If that was your point... why in the hell you left me alive?
-Will you believe if I tell you, I wanted to kill you at first. But I couldn't. I loved you more than the rest of the family. Besides... you had potential. I've seen it in you. I knew that you may grow up to a shinobi, that won't be a shame to the Uchiha clan.
-But.. But you said...
-You're not even worth killing. Yes. You were worth to live. To live and be a part of the new clan. But you had to become stronger. So, I left you there alone. I knew that a hard life, life in sadness and pain, will make you strong. You grew up in hate. Hate towards me. You wanted to avenge your family, so you were training, to become stronger and stronger. To match me. It wasn't easy, I know. But you made it. You lived the hard life. You didn't commit suicide. You gave life to two sons, that would one day be pride to our clan. I'm proud of you. My brother. –those informations were slowly making their way through Sasuke's brain. So now he knew. He knew what was Itachi's point in killing the entire clan. To start it over. To make it better. With such a sacrifice. No. Itachi was bad. Itachi was evil. He murdered his own clan. Sasuke despited him. Hated him. But he... he seemed so different now. But why? Why, in the hell? WHY? This was too much. Definitely too much. What now? What shall he do?
-I... I don't... That doesn't matter! You are a murderer! And I am the avenger! I'll kill you! I have to!
-Fine then. Go on, have your revenge. Don't be restricted about my children's presence. But before you start, I just want you to know: I'd rather have you killing me, than having me killing you. –this was it. Sasuke couldn't bare it. No. He have to be brave. Dam it, he waited for this for so long and now what? He can't? No way. He must kill his brother. He must avenge his family. He must send this devil to hell, where he belongs. Who cares their children are watching? Who cares their wives are watching? Not Sasuke. He took a kunai from his holster. He moved on. Towards his brother. He have to. He can't look at anyone else. He can't let the sight of his nephews or sister in law make him feel pity. He can't refuse to do, what he must do, only not to make his sons have somebody who killed his own brother as a father. There's only he and his revenge. Nothing else. Now there he was. Right in front of the murderer. To become a murderer himself. Had Itachi feel the same, when he was about to kill the entire clan? Sure no. This bastard has no positive feelings. Sasuke dabbed the kunai to Itachi's neck. He never had so many different feelings fighting within him like he had now. He looked in Itachi's eyes. He found no fear. He found no sorrow. He found no wrath. And nothing bad.
-You'd better hurry. I can change my mind and defend myself. It would be much more difficult then.
-You... You... You... Argh... Dam it! –Sasuke couldn't bare it. He threw his kunai away.
-What's the matter, brother? Remember: a ninja must do, what he has to do.
-And that's why I let you live. I won't make your children loose a father. I'm not like you. I'm better. –with this last sentence, Sasuke smirked. He was better. For once in his life, he was better than his brother. Itachi smirked as well.
-Good then. Well, I guess you need some time to find yourself in this new Deal, so we will be leaving for now.
-No way. Do you really think that I'll let you make another hole in my garden? Everybody, inside.
Marta: And? Do you like the seems-to-be-good-Itachi? Go on, tell me. I won't hurt you from the other side of the computer.
