Itachi Uchiha. a loving brother, and a hero to the hidden leaf.
Sarada stood silently in front of the stone for a while "I thought papa lost all of his family when his was eight..." she whispered still staring at the craving on the stone.
"itachi-san survived too... but when he died, it was a shock for your father. he loved him so much it was unbearable" Sakura explained " I sometimes get jealous of him... the way he talks about him and all..." she added with a chuckle.
"What did he look like?"
"much like your father, he reassembled Him a lot..."
"and how... how did he die?"
"he was sick... it hit him all of a sudden... he came back during the war with the edo tensei and stopped it..."
"Did you know him?"
"No... I didn't have the opportunity to meet him properly before his death... but the way your father talks about him, I know he is a loving brother, the kind of older sibling I want you to be Sarada" the Pinkett put her hand over her belly.
Sarada nodded and looked back at the stone "I imagine how it affected papa... to face uncle itachi's death"
Sakura smiled at that, she knew her daughter was kind.
"you tell me... it was hell" she answered with a giggle "now let's go back home... it's getting cold..."
"okay mama" the young Uchiha nodded then turned towards the stone "goodnight uncle Itachi... it was nice to meet you finally"
...
Boruto was a curious child, when Sarada seemed to drop the matter he couldn't get it out of his mind.
what happened to the Uchiha clan?
he faced all the possibilities, a sickness can't erase them in one night, it didn't happen during war or when the ninetails was unleashed at the birth of his father...
it left him with just one theory.
someone killed them all.
someone was strong enough to finish the mightiest Clan in the shinobi world in one night.
but who was that strong ?
the blond rolled in his bed again and watched the ceiling.
if that person was that strong, how did Sasuke manage to survive?
he groaned with confusion and closed his eyes to try to sleep.
it was useless.
during dinner he tried to fish for some pieces of information from his parents but they saw clear into his plans : none of them gave him a hint.
the Web also has nothing to tell him, whenever he searched it his computer lagged.
the only place that could contain useful information was the Hokage's library, but only high ranked shinobies were allowed in.
he sighed in frustration.
it all led to nothing... unless...
unless he took the form of his master and got into the library, with the Uchiha staying at home lately, he wouldn't risk having two Sasukes walking around the village and he was good enough in the henge no jutsu.
with that plan established, he finally found peace and went to sleep.
...
"you know how careless that was Sakura."
they were finally alone in their bedroom after Sarada went to sleep
"I wanted to go for a walk Sasuke-kun... I don't see what's the problem about that..." His pink haired wife answered as she dried her hair with a towel before grabbing a comb.
"you didn't tell me..."
"You never do tell me when you disappear too darling..."
"It's not the same.."
"Well it's not the same because Sarada and I only went on a walk which is something we do all the time... while you always disappear to go on some dangerous mission, in some dangerous dimension and you never see me complaining..." she said with a pout as she combed her pink locks.
her husband sighed and sat beside her on the edge of the bed "I was worried... I thought something happened to you..." he justified his attitude which earned him a tender smile from his wife.
"I know..." she leaned and kissed his temple "but you know that if something happened to us... you wouldn't have found the house in the first place..." she added with a chuckle.
Sasuke turned to face her and rested his forehead on hers, inhaling her floral sent "how is the baby?" He whispered as he put his hand on her belly.
"he's fine... he's been calm today..."
"That's good..."
he closed his eyes and leaned forward to put a soft kiss on his wife's lips then pulled away from her "I'm gonna take a shower... go to sleep..."
"nope... I'm gonna wait for you darling..."
"Sakura..." he warned
"what? I want to have some sexy time with my handsome ladykiller husband... isn't it allowed?" she complained with a pout.
Sasuke knew better than arguing with her, he already experienced Sakura's hormones during pregnancy and he wasn't willing to see the monster she may turn into if he refused to her. with a sigh he shook his head "okay... I'll be back in second..."
"take your time honey..." she answered innocently.
...
"So how was last night papa? had fun?"
Sasuke glared at his daughter, who was smirking in front of him "I don't know what you're talking about..." he answered as he calmly sipped from his coffee.
"well... I'm sure mama does... nee mama?" The Pinkett nearly jumped around when her daughter called her "huh?"
The black haired girl laughed "you should see your faces you two.." she said as she stood up "I'm off... I'll go to train, have a nice day!"
and as she walked past her mother, she stood on her tip toes and whispered in her ear "you forgot to heal that hickey on papa's right collar bone..."
Sakura turned tomato red as her daughter giggled and ran away.
she loved those mornings when she got the opportunity to tease both of them during breakfast.
"Oi! Sarada!"
She turned towards the familiar voice "good morning Boruto!" She greeted.
"you seem cheerful today..." the blond noticed
"what? do I look dull in other days?"
"No... no... it's just... I don't know... he hehe. .." Boruto scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.
"mitsuki is still on his mission..."
"yeah..."
"shall we get one to busy ourselves?" Sarada suggested but her friend shook his head with a no.
"I have some plans for today..."
"plans?"
"Yup..."
"You have a date?"
"No! what... why would you think that?" Boruto complained
"you said you had plans... when boys say that it's usually because their going out with some girl..." she teased
"well not that kind of plans... I actually planned something very interesting..." he hesitated for a second "you can join me... maybe.."
"are you going to pull some prank Boruto? because I'm warning you.."
"No! no... well actually sort of... but I wouldn't call it a prank..."
the girl rolled her eyes "what are you gonna do Boruto?"
"I'll sneak into the Hokage's library" he stated proudly and Sarada blinked at him "what?!"
"You heard me"
"but... we're not allowed to!"
"who said I'll go as myself..."
"but... why?"
Boruto furrowed "Don't tell me that you dropped it Sarada... I know very well that you want to know what happened to your clan.."
the girl flinched "I... I want to... but if you get caught.. if we get caught..."
"trust me Sarada... they won't catch us" he assured with a wide grin.
