Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. I only own, well lets see, Taro, Amarante, Taketo, Naina, Goro, Ryo, Setseyu, and Hayato.

Thank you so much for your comments. This one is for all of you guys. Thank you so much for your support.

Amarante walked out of her room the next morning to find her mother talking to the Hokage and the elders. "What's going on?" She asked as she sat down next to her mother. Her mother handed her a letter and Amarante read it out loud.

"This is the last will and statement of Uchiha Sasuke. I hereby bestow my estate to Haruno Sakura until Haruno Taro amends his identity as Uchiha Taro. Haruno Taro will remain the heir to the Uchiha throne. If he is not of age then Haruno Sakura will be given the estate until Haruno Taro is of age. All my property, including the property out side of Konohakagure will be under Haruno Sakura until Taro complies to the Uchiha name. If she is to pass away before the change, Taro will immediately receive all the property. Haruno Amarante, on the occasion of her wedding, will be given the contents of the sealed safe box that is in the safe room of the main Uchiha estate. She is to open the box the night before her union. The content of the box is hers and only hers. Haruno Amarante will also be given my Kusanagi sword. She is expected to become the next wielder of the Long Sword of The Heavens. Haruno Sakura will be given rein over the other objects of the Uchiha possession and she will be given the right to act however she pleases with the Uchiha items. Signed, Uchiha Sasuke. Leader of the Uchiha clan."

Amarante looked at the piece of paper and then she looked up at her brother who had been standing there. "Taro?"

"Give me time to think." He walked out of the house. Amarante knew he would say no. She knew from the bottom of her heart that he would tell her that he didn't want the name.

That night, Taro came home late. He had spent the day with Naina who didn't bother him about anything because he didn't wasn't to be bothered. All they did was train and then hang around in Naina's apartment. But now, he had to go home and he had to be faced by the questions of worry by his grandmother, and his mother, and his sister.

Walking onto the porch, he noticed that his mother was sitting outside with a blanket around her shoulders. "Where were you?" She asked as he sat down next to her.

"With Naina." He replied simply.

"How is Naina?"

"Fine." He said as he watched his mother.

"You are just like your father Taro."

"Hn." He responded looking into the night.

"You just proved my point." Sakura laughed as she pulled the blanket closer to her body.

"Mom?"

"Taro?"

"What would you do if you were me?"

"I did exactly what you need to do Taro. Sasuke hurt me in so many ways possible but he did it to protect me from more harm. And I respect him for that. I know he loved me some way. Taro, Itachi and I want you to take your name as Uchiha. We see great honor in it. Also, you have been named the heir. That means that you have become the master of the Uchiha halls. Take that name, place it upon your head. Make everyone realize that you are the strong Uchiha. Fight for your name."

"Why?"

"Because no one can steal it from you."

"I am a Haruno."

"No, they say you are a Haruno. But you are also a Sharingan wielder and that makes you an Uchiha."

"And what about Amarante? Is she an Uchiha too?"

"Yes."

"Would you be proud of me if I did his wishes?"

"Taro, it is a dead man's final wishes. And it was your father's wishes."

"But would you be proud of me?"

"Taro, no matter what you do, I am proud of you."

"That's all I needed to know."

Taro took is mother's hand and then squeezed it. "Mother, I accept his wishes. But only because you want me too." Sakura looked at her son. Smiling, she put both her hands on his head and then pulled his head forward to kiss his head. "Mom, Taketo is here with Amarante."

Sakura looked over to see her daughter walking over to her. "Good evening Sakura-chan, Taro." Taketo said as he looked at the two.

"Taketo, how are you?" Sakura asked as she made room for them. Amarante sat down by her brother but Taketo stood looking down at them.

"I am fine Sakura-chan, How are you feeling?"

"They are just fine, they are wondering when you will stop by."

"Tell them soon."

"Well I must get going, goodnight Sakura-chan, Amarante, Taro." Taketo walked away into the night.

"I don't like him." Taro spoke as he watched Taketo's retreating form.

"Why?" Amarante asked as she looked at her brother.

"I just don't." Taro said as he stood up and walked into the house.

"What is up with him?" Amarante asked as she looked at her mother.

"He's your brother, he won't like anyone you date." Sakura spoke as she looked at her daughter. "Tell me, how did your day go?"

"It was fine. I showed him the letter. He told me that I should forgive him. And I do, he also told me to tell Taro that he should forgive him as well. That it is better to forgive and forget. But he'll never listen to me."

"I think he's already gotten the message." Sakura said. Looking at the clock outside, she noticed that it was 12:00. "Happy birthday my child." Amarante looked at the clock and then her mother. She was 18 now.

"Thank you mom."

"Come on, let us go and bother your brother."
