Disclaimer: Hi! I'm here for chapter ten of Flash and I am feeling pretty good, I hurt Hidan and put duct (or is it duck?) tape on his mouth. Aaaah, this is great, no noises, no inter- (Is interrupted by a muffled curse.) Damn… spoke too soon. Alright, what do you want whiner?
Hidan: mepf nef finf omf om fme!
Me: What? I can't hear you. Do you want me to rip that tape off your mouth?
Hidan: Nods vigorously
Me: No? Well then what the hell do you want?
Hidan: Glares and curses so badly that the authoress thinks it was a good idea to put tape on his mouth
Me: Hmm, I think I'll let some rabid fans get you… and believe me, they ain't female.
Hidan: Is horrified
Me: Anyway, I don't own Naruto and I hope you enjoy this chappy!

Shinobu looked at her mom, "I shall choose Konoha. It seems like the better village." She watched as her mothers face broke into a wide smile, "That's great Shinobu! We'll have to go to the Hokage and get you registered here, and then we'll have to go back to base and get your things. You should be settled here by the end of the week!" she jumped up and, taking Shinobu's arm, raced off to the Hokage tower. A few minutes later they were standing outside the door waiting to be let in. Sakura looked at Shinobu, "Okay, your name will stay the same but you are not to mention my name, you understand me?" she said, Shinobu nodded and turned to stare ahead. The door was beginning to open and she wanted to see the Hokage. They entered and saw Tsunade sitting behind her desk, "Well, what do you want? I don't have all day." She asked, more than a little annoyed, they were cutting into her drinking time! Sakura sat down at one of the chairs in front of the desk and began, "Well, my daughter here is five years old and needs to start at an academy; we don't live at a village so I decided to let her choose since it was her birthday a few days ago. We had already been to Suna and when we came here she decided that since this seemed to be a better village she would like to go here." Tsunade nodded, "So you two would like to apply here as citizens?" she asked, getting the necessary papers, "No, only she would stay here. I am going away for awhile. She is more than capable of taking care of herself, her uncles have been teaching her some ninjustu and some of their signature moves, they have also given her weapons and armor. She is currently under a Genjutsu, she would frighten other children with her appearance, if you would like I could lift it so that when she is in the village and you see her you could recognize her." Sakura looked at her and Tsunade nodded, "Release!" she said, bringing her hands together. Shinobu looked at her mother as the smoke cleared away and then looked at the strange Hokage. Tsunade looked surprised at the sight of the five-year-old sitting at the desk. She was tall for a five-year-old but she hardly noticed that due to the impressive amount of weapons she had on her, and the armor. She then took a good look at the child's features, she had black hair with red streaks and gold eyes with black flecks in them. 'Quite an unusual child' she thought as she sat back, "Okay, she can stay here, but she will need a guardian to stay with, I will send for some of the best people I have." Tsunade then stood up and walked over to the window, she made a few hand signs and a bird appeared, she talked to it a moment and it flew off. She walked back to the desk and they made small talk while they waited. A few moments later the door opened and a loud voice called, "Hey, what do you want Baa-chan!? I was eating ramen." Naruto came through the door followed by Hinata, Choji, Ino, Sasuke, and Sai. They filed in and Choji closed the door. They looked at the strange people but noticed the little girl even more than the woman, she had more weapons than they did! Choji sent a questioning glance at Tsunade and she started talking. "This is Aya and her daughter Shinobu, The girl will be going to the academy here but her mother cannot stay, so she will choose somebody to stay with her daughter while she actually attends the academy. Aya will choose one of you to protect her daughter." She gestured to the woman who stood and half-bowed. They stood, watching as she came up to them, studying them. Sakura was thinking about the advantages and disadvantages of leaving her child with each person in the group. She finally ended up in front of Sasuke, 'Hmmm, well she will need him to help her with the Sharingan when she gets it, but he might teach her to like tomatoes. I think I'll pick him because he knows how to keep a secret.' Sakura looked at Tsunade, "Hokage-sama, I will choose this man, he looks strong enough to protect my daughter from harm." She declared as she looked at Shinobu, who looked at the dark-haired man behind her mother, he looked like her daddy, and the only reason she knew what he looked like was because she had seen that photo on her moms desk, "Yes mother, the man is alright." She said, looking down, Sakura smiled slightly at her daughter's actions and sat back down, Tsunade motioned for the other to go away but told Sasuke to stay. She then filled out the paper-work and told Sakura to sign it and date it, "Ok, that should be all of it, now, Sasuke, show our guest where her daughter will be staying." She said and waved them out the door. "Follow me." Sasuke said as they walked through the streets, Shinobu was gathering a lot of attention with the sword and scythe on her back. They walked through town and to the Uchiha district, Shinobu looked around, those fans looked like the ones on the shirts her mother wore occasionally. They went to the main house and up the stairs, Sasuke led them to the guest room, the girl should be happy in there. They all went inside and Sasuke showed them where the bathroom and closet was, then he stood, waiting for any type of question that came his way. Sakura looked around and then finally looked at Sasuke, "Hey, can you keep a secret?" she asked, he looked at her and said, "Depends what it is." She nodded and made hand-signs, "Release!" she said and a cloud of smoke went through the air, along with a large amount of chakra making itself known. If she had had a camera she would have taken a picture of Sasuke's face, it was one of pure, unadulterated shock, "Sakura?" he asked weakly. Shinobu looked at her mother for an explanation. "Shinobu, this is your uncle." She said, pushing Shinobu in front of her. Sasuke looked like he was about to faint, he was so shocked, he looked at Shinobu, "She is your daughter?" he looked again at the weapons on her back and the other weapons that seemed to be less dangerous but he guessed they were no less dangerous than the others. He then looked back at Sakura, "She is really going to stay here and learn? What, she can't be taught by the Akatsuki?" he asked. Sakura shook her head, "She got to choose, it was her birthday present from me along with some jewels." Shinobu then said, "Yeah, momma got them from this lord she killed-" the rest of her sentence was cut off by the hand around her mouth, "Shinobu, what have I told you about telling people outside of the organization of mommies missions?" she asked quietly.
Sasuke was left wondering what the girl was going to say next but knew he wasn't going to be filled in, "I have to go, but I'll be back in a little while with her things." Sakura said and left. Sasuke and Shinobu were left staring at each other, "So, do you like tomatoes?" he asked, Shinobu looked at him and nodded, "I think this is going to be a beautiful uncle-ship." He said, wrapping an arm around her and walking out the door to the kitchen.
Sakura walked into her room, she had several large bags ready to fill with Shinobu's things. She gathered up Shinobu's clothes in two bags, and the rest of her weapons in three other bags, plus she put the rest of Shinobu's gold and jewels in the last bag. Sakura then took out a blank scroll and put all of the bags on it, she made a couple of hand signs and the scroll rolled up. She smiled and stuck it in her kunai pouch. She walked out to the kitchen and addressed the Akatsuki sitting there. "Alright, listen up," she said, they quieted down and looked at her, "Shinobu has made her decision. She chose Konoha, now I have to go and deliver her stuff but I will be back shortly. I know you guys wanted to teach her but she wanted to stay in Konoha. Now that I've said that I have to go, I'll be back soon." She finished and left. After she left the base she tree-hopped to Konoha and went to the Uchiha district. She looked through the window and saw both Sasuke and Shinobu eating a bowl of tomatoes. Rolling her eyes and stepping in the kitchen she looked at her daughter, "Want one mom?" she asked, holding out one of the red tomatoes. Sakura shook her head and sat down, "I'll just take a strawberry." She said and Sasuke got a box of them out of the fridge. Sakura took out her scroll and held it out to her daughter, "Here Shinobu, it's all your stuff from the base." She said as Shinobu took it from her and set it on the floor and opened it, a loud poof and a little smoke revealed six big bags of things on the floor. Shinobu reached for the closest one and opened it to reveal the gold and jewelry that Sakura had taken from the dead lord of Snow country. Sasuke felt his jaw hit the floor, look at all that gold! Sakura reached over and snapped his mouth shut, "Relax Sasuke, it's her standard birthday present since she was three." She said as he stared at her. She sighed and closed the bag, "Take these to your room Shinobu." She said, and watched as she lifted all six bags to carry up to her new room. They then turned to each other and Sakura said, "You have to take absolute care of her while I'm gone, you can't let her get sidetracked from her studies, and you need to teach her how to use the Sharingan, she has no one else of that bloodline to do it, that was the only reason I let her stay with you. Do you understand?" she looked closely at him and he nodded sharply and she sighed, "Good, now I must be going. I have another mission soon and I need to get the details from Leader-Sama." She said and he nodded again, Shinobu came down the stairs then and Sakura stood up, "I have to go now Shinobu, take care not to let anybody outside of Sasuke and the very few friends he knows to know that you are my daughter. I love you, don't hurt the other children no matter how angry you get." She warned her daughter at the end and at last she hugged her, "I won't be back for a long time, so don't do anything to bring the other members here alright?" she said, Shinobu nodded and said, "I love you Mommy." Sakura got up and nodded at Sasuke before she left the house, then the village altogether. A few hours after that they received word that Sakura had joined the Akatsuki and killed one of the most powerful lords in Snow country.
Days after that Shinobu activated her Sharingan for the first time and Sasuke started teaching her how to use it. She quickly became top in her class and excelled in everything they threw at her. She missed her mother and the rest of the Akatsuki terribly but she coped with it, she became friends with Ino's little girl.
Months after that the three most important lords of the Fire, Lightning, and Earth countries were killed and Shinobu knew it was her mom and Hidan-san that did it. She approached her uncle Sasuke one day, "Hey, when will mommy be back?" she asked, he looked at her and shook his head, "I don't know Shinobu, someday." He said
