~ Konohagakure no Sato, 10th October ~
Namine watched the nights sky, bitting her lip in worry, as she held Gaara, with Temari, Kankuro, and Anko curled near her, all asleep.
"Be careful, Kaa-sama." She whispered, brushing Gaara's red hair with her fingers.
Tsunade held Kushina's hand as she cried out in pain, as Biwako scolded Minato about jumping when she did, telling him to hold the seal.
Jiraiya gripped the scroll in his hand tightly as he remembered Sakura's words.
"When Naruto-kun is born, you must use this scroll, it shows how to remove Kyubi-kun from Kushina-chan without hurting, or killing her, and seal it within Naruto-kun without causing the seal master's death. Naruto-kun is the child the old Toad Sage spoke about, Jiraiya-kun. He needs Kyubi-kun's power."
He looked out of the small window, knowing Sakura was protecting them from someone with everything she had.
Madara smirked behind his mask, as he saw the building where the Uzumaki girl was giving birth, now was his chance to get the Kyubi.
Before he could do anything, a chakra arrow buried its self into his shoulder, making him hiss, and turn. Standing in a tree, her bow drawn with another arrow, was Sakura, she was wearing the chinese dress he had found her in when he had been a child.
"I should of known you would be here." He chuckled, knowing his plan was ruined.
She fired her arrow, making he jump away from where he was standing, and run away from the building, with Sakura behind him. This would be their first battle as enemies.
She sealed her bow into her arm, and drew her katana, just in time to block his attack with his own katana, the metal met with a wave of sparks, before Madara jumped back, sending a fireball her way.
She jumped out of the way, ignoring how the tree behind was set on fire, using her chakra she pushed herself off a tree, and made a slash at his chest, he was able to block most of it, though she was able to cut part of his stomach, making him hiss, and push her back with his blade, sending a kick to her stomach, making her fly into a tree, she winced as her back hit the tree hard enough to break it, before she leaped back at him, her blade shining in the fire's light.
"Hokage-sama!" Raido said, panic clear in his voice as he stopped behind Hiruzen, who stood with Asuma, and his oldest son, Gin, on top of the Hokage Tower. "The forest is on fire."
"I know." Hiruzen said, watching the flames in the forest with a frown. "Get some water users, we need to put thoses flames out."
Raido nodded, before he left.
"Isn't there where Kaa-san is?" Asuma asked.
"It's near there." Hiruzen agreed, making Asuma frown, and Gin rest a hand on his little brother's shoulder.
Itachi held Sasuke, as he watched many of his clan leave the compound in a hurry.
"I wonder what's happening." Shisui said, sitting next to his cousin, watching with wide eyes.
"There's a fire in the forest, and some of the guards have reported seeing Sakura-sama fighting a man." Mikoto said, as she, and Naoko stood behind their children.
Itachi stiffened when he heard that Sakura was fighting, and held Sasuke tighter.
"He's beautiful, Kushina." Tsunade said with a smile, as Biwako wrapped Naruto in a blanket, and handed him to his mother, while Minato smiled, tears running down his face.
"I still can't believe someone as girly as you made Hokage." Kushina chuckled, with a tired grin at Minato, making him laugh softly.
"Kushina, I have to do something that Sakura-hime asked me to do." Jiraiya said, stepping forward, making Kushina look up at him with narrowed eyes.
"What's that?" She asked.
"I have to seal the Kyubi within Naruto." Jiraiya answered, with a grimace.
Sakura gasped, a trail of blood leaving her lips as she did, as she dragged herself from the river they ended up fighting on, her legs to bloodly, and cut up to use. Though she made sure Madara wouldn't be fighting for sometime, she watched with one eye, since the other was closed to stop the blood from a wound on her forehead would get into her eye, as Zetsu took Madara's barely breathing body away, a tired grin came to her bloodly lips, before she fell forward onto the muddy ground, blacking out from blood loss.
Hizashi gasped slightly when he found his great aunt, he grimaced at the state she was in, before he lifted her into his arms, and began running to the hospital, trying not to think about how pale she was, or how limp her body was, all he thought about was getting her to a medic.
Jiraiya panted slightly, as he wiped sweat from his forehead, it took more chakra then he thought, but she had been right, it didn't hurt, or kill anyone.
Kushina smiled as she held Naruto again, though she didn't want him to be the Kyubi's jinchuriki, she understood why he had to be, and was proud that her son was going to change the world.
"Let's get back to the village." Tsunade said, with a small smile.
"Namine-sama!" Shizune called, making the children jump, and Namine look at her. "Sakura-sama is in the hospital."
Anko's eyes widened, while Namine sighed sadly.
"Let's go." She said, as Sasori, and Baki appeared also hearing the news, getting up slowly, and making her way to the door, the others behind her.
~ Konohagakure no Sato, Konoha Hospital, Four days later ~
Green eyes blinked open, and sat up slowly, noting someone was laying next to her, and someone else was holding her hand. She blinked when she saw Itachi curled next to her, and Kakashi holding her hand, both asleep.
"You enjoy worrying us don't you?" Kushina asked from her bed next to Sakura, making said woman turn to her.
"Not really." She answered with a smile, her eyes light as she saw the small blond in the red head's arms.
"Tsunade-chan made the others leave to get some rest. Mikoto-chan, and Sakumo couldn't get their sons to leave though." Kushina said, before she giggled. "Looks like we've found your future lovers."
Sakura blushed, making Kushina laugh more.
"Kushina-chan!" Sakura gasped, her eyes wide.
Kakashi wanted to grin, and frown at the same time. Grin because Kushina said he could be her future lover, and frown that Itachi could be too. When the brat was older, he would have to talk with the Uchiha heir.
~ Konohagakure no Sato, 29th December, Konoha Hospital ~
Namine smiled tiredly as she held her children, as Jiraiya beamed holding her, looking down at their son, and daughter. They both had white hair, and the same green eyes of their grandmother.
"So what are you going to call them?" Sakura asked, brushing her finger against her grandaughters fist.
"Senji Toshiro, and Senju Yuki." Namine said, as Jiraiya kissed her on the head.
~ Konohagakure no Sato, Two years later, June, East gate ~
Sakura frowned slightly as she watched Orochimaru leave with 10 others, seeing Anko with him. She had already made her mind up, she would let him live till the chunin exams, then she would kill him.
She turned her back, and head to where she knew they would be taking Tenzo.
When she entered the ANBU building, many ANBU bowed to her, and didn't try to stop her from entering the medic room.
"Hello there." She smiled at the twelve year old, who was eying her warily. "My name is Senju Sakura, and I'm going to be taking care of you from now on."
Sakura noticed he still didn't trust her, and didn't blame him, so she walked over to the dead bonsai tree in the room, and brought over to him. She brushed the dried leaves, sending her chakra into it, and watched as the small tree come back to life. She looked at Tenzo's face, and smiled when she saw he was more at ease seeing as she could do things like him.
"What's your name?" She asked.
"Tenzo." He whispered the name he had been given before she came, and looked at the smiling face of the woman in front of him.
"Well, Tenzo-kun, why don't we go to your new home where you can get some sleep." She said, making him nod slightly.
She picked him up, ignoring the way he stiffened slightly, and nodded to the ANBU in the room, before leaving, and heading home.
~ Konohagakure no Sato, Main gate, Two days later ~
Anko saw the main gates infront of her, and felt tears well in her eyes, before she was crushed into a hug.
She gasped, as she smelt the scent of mint, and chocolate, knowing only one person with that scent, though she had been thinking that Sakura would hate her.
"Your okay, Anko-chan. I wont let anything happen to you again." Sakura whispered, making Anko let out a slight sob as she clinged to the older woman.
~ Konohagakure no Sato, Senju Compound, Main House, A week later ~
"Baa-chan!" Naruto giggled, falling into Sakura's lap, making Sakura laugh, before she tickled his stomach, making the almost two year old giggle.
"Baa-sama!" Was the only warning she got, before Ino jumped on her back.
The other children there, seeing the blondes attack the white haired woman, joined in as well.
Kushina laughed as she watched the children attack Sakura.
"Bet she's wishing she could say I'm getting to old for this." She laughed, making Rukia shake her head.
"Don't you think we should help her?" Haruhi asked, watching as the children, and Sakura play.
"Na, Sensei is fine." Naoko disagreed with a smirk.
"You just what to get her back from when she sent us after that damn cat." Kushina said with a grin, making Naoko's smirk widen.
"Your all mean to Sakura-sama." Shizune said with a frown, before the seventeen year old went to help Sakura with ten children.
Yoshino shook her head, before she spotted her son napping under a tree with Choji sitting next to him, happily eating some pocky.
"He's more lazy then his father." She sighed.
Yuzu smirked, before checking on Shino who was watching the other children attack Sakura, and now Shizune.
"Your cruel to Kaa-sama Naoko." Namine said, as Tsunade smirked.
"Hey, I don't see you rushing to help her." Naoko said, glaring at the white haired woman.
"Baa-sama!" Shisui called in a sing song voice, skipping into the garden, followed by Itachi who glared at his older cousin.
"Baka." Itachi muttered, as he watched Shisui rush to play with the younger children.
"Itachi-chan!" Mikoto called, making her oldest son walk over to her. "Aren't you going to play with the others?"
In reply Itachi gave her a blank stare, making her sweatdrop.
"What are we going to do for christmas?" Momo asked, smiling when she saw her son be lifted into the air by Sakura.
"Kaa-sama will make you stay here for christmas, and she spoil the children." Namine said, smiling when she heard Yuki's squeal of laughter.
"Dattebane! Baa-chan always has the best food." Kushina said with a large grin, making the others shake their heads amused.
Kushina's eyes narrowed when her 'rival' stepped out into the garden.
"Doll Boy." She greeted, inwardly grinning at how he scowled at her.
"Leaf Whore." He greeted back, smirking when he saw the red headed woman fume, before with a battle cry she leaped at him, her hands going straight to his throat.
Both landed heavily on the ground, trying to strangle each other, as everyone turned to watch the two red heads fight.
"GO KAA-CHAN, DATTEBAYO!" Naruto shouted, as Kushina's hands wrapped around Sasori's neck.
"Just like old times." Jiraiya laughed from the doorway.
