Sakura is walking with a backpack holding Itachi's hand as Mikoto and Mebuki grin together watching the children. At the gate is a man with a scar horizontal across the bridge of his nose. Itachi pulls Sakura to see him gently, "Hello Iruka-sensei, this is Fairy-chan."

Iruka crouches down to greet her, "Hello Fairy-chan, I'm Iruka-sensei are you excited to see what the academy is like?"

Sakura bounces on her toes, "Yes! School with Weasel-chan!" Iruka just laughed and nodded politely to the parents as he guided the two children into the school. Sakura was easily integrated into the class as a guest for the day. Sakura was able to grasp the different topics but, Itachi helped write her answers since she wasn't able to do so herself yet.

Sakura looked to Itachi, "Weasel-chan, teach me to wite?" Itachi nodded in agreement and began showing her the first 5 letters of the alphabet. He showed her how to write the big and small letters and let her practice. Sakura enjoyed trying to write and learned she could do so with both hands. Iruka observed the two and the answers on their sheets.

'Such a smart child…when is she due to start academy for real?' Iruka thought to himself as he watched the girl learn her ABC's and numbers ambidextrously. Itachi was happy to teach her since he wasn't sure how to repay her for showing him the shunshin technique as his father called it. Even as he dismissed the class for lunch he noticed Itachi and his Fairy-chan sat at the desk eating lunch and practicing writing her letters and numbers as they ate their packed lunches.

He moved to bring his lunch and sit with them curious to see her progress, "How's the lesson going?" Itachi looked up as he was chewing on some dango. Sakura looked up and smiled, "Fun, I wead but now I wite!" Iruka gave a grin and showed his lunch. "I hope you don't mind if I join you two for lunch today." Itachi and Sakura shared a look with each other, "We don't mind, you're not a fan girl." Itachi said simply causing Iruka to chuckle.

~With the Uchihas and Harunos~

"Hokage-sama, you wished to speak with all of us?" Mebuki asked curious. The man nodded and gestured for Yamato and Genma to move forward, "I've seen firsthand how advanced Sakura is with her chakra. She does not have the advantage of pre-academy lessons and I took your request to mind."

Kizashi nodded and gave a friendly smile, "Hello Genma-san, I would call you your name but I believe I know you as Neko, Anbu-san?"

The man nodded with a smile, "Yes, you may use my cover name Yamato when I am not in uniform Haruno-san." Yamato and Genma allowed the Hokage to explain. The Hokage turned to Fugaku as well, "I've seen Itachi socialize more with Sakura than even children his own age besides Shisui. My gesture is this, allow Genma and Yamato to work with the children and prepare Sakura for her true entrance into academy when she and Sasuke are old enough. Itachi and Shisui can work on their practice of basic non-clan abilities with them as instructors as well."

Mikoto smiled at Fugaku, "I think it's an excellent idea. Itachi will still see Sakura-chan and Shisui and him both get extra training with Jounin and Anbu before they graduate." Kizashi looked concerned, "Won't Sakura being so young hold the two boys back?"

Genma stepped forward, "At first maybe but, from what we've gathered Sakura learns quickly. As long as she has her friend to inspire her to keep applying herself we don't imagine this would be an issue." Yamato gave a smile, "Once she's caught up the three could become quite the unit once she graduates given the right instructor."

Mebuki frowned, "How would that affect their status since she won't graduate for several years behind them?" Genma and Yamato glanced to the Hokage who sighed, "As you know war is on the horizon…none of us want to speak of it to prevent panic but, it is coming." He looked to Fugaku and Mikoto who sadly nodded confirming this fear.

"Truthfully Itachi and Shisui may be in the field sooner than Sakura but, once she graduates if all goes according to plan they will become a squad. If anything changes…" The Hokage nodded to himself, "Then we will address the concern when it arrives."

As the parents agreed Mikoto and Mebuki walked back towards the academy with Sasuke in Mebuki's arms to grab the children. Iruka had them together outside of the school and handed the worksheets Sakura had completed to Mebuki. "She's a very smart young lady, I can't wait to have her as a student fulltime."

Mebuki gave a smile and looked surprised, "ABC's and numbers…the hand writing is different." She looked down at Itachi and Sakura, "Did you write some of these Itachi?" Itachi shook his head and showed her his work. "Fairy-chan can write with both hands. I taught her after we finished the class assignments together."

Mikoto just sighed, "Such a pair you two make." Itachi grabbed Sakura's hand out of habit before Mebuki handed Sasuke back to Mikoto. Mikoto looked to the children, "We will be going home for today Itachi, say goodbye to Iruka-sensei and Sakura-chan and her mother."

Itachi looked like he was about to pout, "Goodbye Iruka-sensei, Bye-bye Fairy-chan, Goodbye Mrs .Haruno." He looked at his mother, "Will Fairy-chan be attending school tomorrow?" Mikoto giggled, "No Itachi-chan you and Shisui will see her at our house after school."

Mebuki looked at Iruka who smiled, "He doesn't seem to like leaving her for long does he?" Mebuki just laughed lightly, "No and Sakura pouts until she sees her Weasel-chan again. It's cute how attached they've become to each other." Iruka crouches down in front of Sakura, "I'm glad you had fun in class today Sakura-chan. I'll see you around okay?"
