Chapter 4: Family

She walked down this dusty cherry blossom decorated road with the sunset painted sky many times before. Only this time, it was after a long day of a misson and shopping with her best friend. Itacha studied the cherry blossoms that surrounded her pathway. This was the only road to her home. The scent in the air was a mix of spring and summer. Summer was on it's way and that meant to her only a few months until she was 18. When 5 minutes passed, Itacha looked up to see a two story traditonal looking house. The house was quaint looking like it belonged in this scenery with the cherry blossoms. On the front of the house, was a huge Uchiha Clan fan. The same fan on Itacha's back. During the seven child-less years of their marriage, Sasuke and Sakura took the land that was once thriving with Uchihas and cleaned it up. Only certian parts of the orginal arcitecture remained. Otherwise, they cleaned it up and planted (more liked asked Yamato to use his Wood Style jutsu) Cherry Blossom trees, each one representing the many Uchihas who died during the Massacre.

Itacha smiled looking at the cute little home and soon walked through the door. She slid it open and closed it with ease. She dropped all her bags on the floor and removed her sandals, adding them to the pit filled with multiple other sandals. She opened the door which lead into the main hall and took a step inside. Before she could even close the door, she heard foot steps running her way.

"YAY!" a young girl's voice screamed "Big sis is home!" Before Itacha could react, A flash of pink ran up to her and gave her a bear hug. This flash of pink, was her 10 year old sister; Mikoto. Mikoto is the second child and youngest daughter of Sasuke and Sakura. Even though there was a seven year age difference, Mikoto highly looked up to Itacha and they have a very strong relationship. This little girl strikingly resembled her mother in her youth however; the only difference between her and her mother was she inherited her father's jawline.

"It's good to see you too Mikoto!" Itacha hugged back. Before long, they heard another set of footsteps. This set, belonged to a six year old boy who looked much like his father. His name was Shisui.

"Hey little bro!" Itacha smiled "Come over here and give your big sis a hug!" Itacha knelt down to Shishui's height and opened her arms expecting a hug.

"Hmph." said the young boy and turned slightly away.

"C'mon Shisui." Itacha giggled "I didn't get a hug goodbye when I left for my mission. You don't have to be embarrassed to hug your big-"

"I'm not embarrassed by hugging my own sister." Shisui retorted "I just see it useless since were all ninjas were not supposed to have emotions-"

"Shisui! That's enough! Give your sister a hug or no dessert tonight!" said a grown woman's voice. The siblings looked up and noticed that their mother, a heavily pregnant Sakura Uchiha walked in. She was wearing a maternity dress and had an apron on her body. Her hair was up to her shoulders and held back by a tie. She looked like she was cooking dinner.

"Fine." Shisui said while rolling his eyes. He walked over to his elder sister and hugged her.

"There," Itacha chuckled "was that too hard?"

"Hmph, Whatever." Shisui huffed before leaving the main hall.

"Welcome home Itacha," Sakura said with a smile "Dinner is almost ready, I made your favorite. Go ahead and wash up; your father is outside in the garden waiting for you." She walked over to her eldest child and hugged her. She left a kiss on Itacha's head and left for the kitchen.

"Shishui's in a bad mood again?" Itacha asked her little sister.

"He lost a game of ninja today." Mikoto smiled sadly "When he came home he was so angry, he didn't want to be disturbed while he was in his room for an hour." Itacha just shook her head. Her little brother always had a bad attitude and she could never understand why. Maybe because he didn't like being the only son? Well, since their mom was pregnant there's a chance of another boy running around the house.

Itacha left the main hall with her bags for her room so she could change out of her clothes. She looked down both sides of the long hallway and slid her bedroom door open then closed. Itacha's room was mostly plain looking. She didn't spend much time in there besides sleeping but it was good enough for her. She walked over to her nightstand and opened the top draw. She took a pin and picked at the bottom of the draw, revealing a false bottom. Underneath the false bottom was a key. She grabbed the key and crawled onto her bed in the corner. She pulled the mattress away revealing a keyhole and she took the key and opened the lock. Immediately, gears turning could be heard and two of Itacha's mostly plain bedroom walls slid away revealing it to be false walls and behind them, a huge amount of mass weaponry. Shurikens, knives, swords, and poisons she created, all forms of weapons you could ever imagine, hanging on those walls. Some of the weapons once belonged to the Seven Ninja Swordsman of The Mist. Sakura had a strict rule about weapons in the house. She wanted no weapons in the house until all the children were full grown ninjas. Itacha's mother didn't know about the secret weapons stash, not even her own father knew. Even though they were the ones who built this house, Itacha was the one who built the weapons stash. The only one who did know was Mikoto. She took out of her bag a small sword. She pressed a button and it became much larger. This was the sword that missing-nin used before his death. She put the sword with the others and closed her weapons rack.

Soon, Itacha got out of her usual attire and dressed in her kimono. A silky royal blue with Sakura Cherry blossom leaves on it. She removed her headband and let her hair flow freely. If she didn't have the delicate features and curves on her body, you could easily mistake her for a boy. She left her room and walked down the hallway until she came to a door. She slid the door open and it lead to a beautiful garden which was in the center of the property. There was only one person in the garden. A man. This man was wearing a kimono similar to Itacha's only without cherry blossom leaves on it. He had a large Uchiha Clan fan on his back. His hair was a spiky black, just like in his youth. Only it had strands of grey in the mix to show his age. He was facing away from Itacha, but he heard her walk in.

"You made it home in one piece dear daughter?" he asked.

"Yup." giggled Itacha "The mission was a big success... Although, I don't think I'm ever going to work for that village again anytime soon." The man turned to look at the girl. He was a handsome man. Even though he was now in his forties, his face showed great maturity, he even grew a black mustache and goatee. This man was Itacha's father, Sasuke Uchiha. He walked over to his eldest child and looked at her, before hugging her tightly.

"You made it home safe." he whispered "That's all that matters to me." They both walked into the house and into the dining room where Sakura had a large mouth- watering roast on the table, waiting to be served. During dinner, Itacha told her family her tale and the missing-nins' reactions to her not being affected by the Genjutsu. The family couldn't help but laugh, all accept Shisui, who just kept his frown and rolled his eyes. After dinner, Itacha sat on the couch in the living room, enjoying whatever was on the TV.

"Hey Itacha," asked Mikoto "I got my graduation exams tomorrow and I need to perform a complete set of two shadow clones. Can you help me work on that? Please?"

"Sorry little sis, I'm tired. That Sharingan is a freaking killer." Itacha sighed.

"But my exams are tomorrow! I can't even make a perfect clone!" pleaded Mikoto.

Itacha sighed "Alright, let me activate my Sharingan and see what the problem is." She closed her eyes for a moment and when she opened them, her eyes were bright red with black tomas. "Ok, give it a shot."

Mikoto performed multiple hand signs before saying "Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Two puffs of smoke appeared next to Mikoto and two dud clones appeared.

"Aha!" Itacha screamed "There's your problem! Your focusing too little chakra on your clones. You need an even amount in all your clones. Try focusing more. Concentrate." Mikoto nodded at her sister's words. The dud clones disappeared and Mikoto tried again with her jutsu, only this time, she proved successful.

"There you go!" Itacha said clapping her hands. "You're gonna pass with flying colors!" Mikoto jumped up and down at those words and hugged her elder sister.

"Big sis, think we can go training?" Mikoto asked.

"Now?" questioned Itacha "It's getting late and I had a long day, I'm tired."

"Aw come on sis!" Mikoto pouted before she could say anything else, Itacha took her index and middle finger and poked her younger sister straight in the forehead.

"Sorry Mikoto." She said "Tomorrow, after your graduation, promise." Itacha then got off the couch and left for the bathroom. She brushed her teeth and when she entered her room, she changed into her pajamas, said good night to her family, climbed into bed and fell asleep. It was still early but she wanted to get some rest for her sister's big day the next day.
