Questions will be answered. Who ends up with who.
Me: Sorry Itachi.
Itachi: It's okay. It's relaxing to play dead for a while.
Me: By the way, you did great! I was so teary eyed when you acted.
Itachi: I'm a natural.
Epilogue
Thank You
Years later…
"Oka-san!"
A six-year-old onyx-haired boy came running in the kitchen. "Try and catch me!" he said as he looked back.
"Get back here!—Oka-san! Nii-san won't teach me his new technique!" A four-year-old pink-haired girl tried to run after her brother.
"Stop it you two!" Sakura called out as she washed the dishes.
"What's with all commotion?" Sasuke went out of the other room.
"I said next time!" The boy poked his sister on the forehead.
Sakura and Sasuke both felt something at the same time. They involuntary put their hands on their foreheads. Sakura clutched the necklace that her deceased adopted-brother gave her.
"What's wrong?" The siblings stopped their argument when they noticed their parents' reaction.
Sasuke went over to Sakura and held her shoulders. "Shall we go see him?" he whispered.
Sakura nodded.

"Hey! There's Naruto-sensei!"
Sasuke's family met Naruto and Hinata at the street.
"Yo!" Naruto called while waving his free hand. The other was wrapped around his wife's shoulders.
"Hey, thanks a lot for training my son, man." Sasuke said.
Naruto grinned and leaned down to pat the boy's black hair. "Don't mention it. Since you taught him everything you know, I figured that it would be interesting to put into the test what he had learned."
A couple with a baby passed by. The baby was crying louder and louder as the mother keeps on calming it.
"I told you to first go buy baby food before shopping for the baby's clothes," Shikamaru said.
"Are you telling me it's my fault?!" Ino retorted.
So the 'personal slave' became the 'personal man,' Sakura thought.
Meanwhile, Hinata smiled when she saw Sakura's daughter hiding behind her mother. "How are you, Sakura's little princess?"
"Fine," she replied shyly.
Hinata kept smiling. "You're exactly like your oka-san when she was your age."
The girl looked up at her mother with curiosity. She didn't tell me that.
Sakura sweat dropped and laughed nervously. She suddenly thought of something to change the subject. "Hey, ah, how's your baby?"
Naruto's wife looked at her bulged belly and touched it. "It's nudging here and there more recently. Can I visit you for a check-up at the hospital next week?"
"Sure," Sakura replied.
Suddenly someone shouted out behind them. "Get back here!" It was the grandson of the deceased third hokage with his genin team mates.
They were on a mission to chase a loose jaguar.
"Hey Naruto-san!" Konohamaru greeted as they passed by.
Naruto saw the cat with surprised eyes. "Isn't that the same jaguar seven years ago?" he asked the Uchiha couple. Then he laughed. "I remember going home with scratches on my face. Good thing we're now jonins!"
They bid each other good bye and the Uchiha famly headed to the forest.
The girl tugged her mother's skirt and asked, "Where are we going?"
Sakura replied, "We are going to see your oji-san, Itachi."
"Is he as strong as otou-san?" The boy asked.
"Better than me actually," his father answered.
"Cool!"
They went to the place where they saw Itachi for the last time. Under a tree near a cottage covered with moss was a grave. There was something written in the stone:
Itachi Uchiha
"You committed mistakes in the past, but now I forgive you."-Sasuke Uchiha
"You were the brother I never had. You loved me and I will always love you."-Sakura Haruno
"When was this written?" Their son asked. He noticed that his mother used her maiden name.
"Seven years ago. When your otou-san and I were not yet married."
"What do you mean 'You were the brother I never had'? The little daughter asked.
"It's a long story. We'll tell you all about it after we get back." She stared at her brother name. These are your niece and nephew. If it weren't for you, they and I wouldn't be standing here. She looked over to her husband. It seemed that he was also talking to Itachi.
The wind blew lightly. The trees rustled. The birds chirped.
They both closed their eyes and simultaneously whispered, "Thank you."
"What did you say?" their children asked.
They smiled and replied, "Nothing."
As they were about to go back, the couple heard someone chuckled in the wind and heard a voice saying "You're welcome."
When they turned around, they saw nothing.
"C'mon! Let's go!" Their son beckoned, holding his sister's hand.
Sasuke and Sakura looked at each other and also chuckled with the wind.
"Thank you…For giving us a happy ending…brother…"
So this is my first fanfic. Sorry if you don't like the ending. I'll try to make another itasaku fanfic and many others.
Anyways, thanks for reading.
More fanfics to come! Coming soon! I said 'soon' because I have school and exams.
