I Do Not Own Naruto

Uchiha

Now as a father Sasuke had never really had to worried about his eldest daughter, Sarada, she had her mother's indestructible strength; complete with the seal to prove herself indestructible, and she was his daughter with a Sharingan and everything. There was literally nothing his daughter couldn't out maneuver, outwit, destroy or annihilate. He had never, ever worried about her, she was just too much like her mother in the temper department to worry about; boys were quick to go the opposite direction when they saw her. Not because she wasn't gorgeous; she was the prettiest girl in the village aside from her mother, if he did say so himself, but they ran because she could knock their asses to Suna and back and never break a sweat.

However, he was seeing the error in his ways now as he stared at a young man who was holding bouquet of flowers at his door while Sakura was helping Sarada get ready for the date. A date of which he had had a week's notice on from his wife, because Sarada had been too nervous to even bring up the topic with him.

And perhaps that was his first error, he hadn't thought about when she would become interested in boys because she was always so studious why would she ever be interested in boys; especially when none of them were good enough for her. or perhaps his mayjor error came just before he left for nine years, when she was three years old and had announced to him directly this boy was annoying. Or perhaps it was when he had returned home and her accomplice when setting up a date for him and her mother had been the very toddler she had told him to be annoying. Or perhaps when he had been too busy with training her and dobe jr. to notice that when she wasn't training (because then he was being pestered by dobe jr. for more training) or she wasn't at the hospital with her mother or learning to be Hokage, she had been with this particular 'annoying' boy.

"Evening Sir," the boy said, Sasuke just stepped aside to let the green eyed boy with a spikey tail on his head into his apartment where his girls were against his will. The green eyed boy stood there, and he looked nervous in a Nara lazy way as he stood there looking completely at ease, but there was something in those eyes, the eyes he had inherited from his mother as he tracked him. Sasuke was half tempted to Amaterasu the boy and say he didn't know what happened to Sarada's date.

Not that that would fly with her mother or his seventeen year old daughter. A four year old trotted out of his room to grab his pants' leg which had looking at the four year old looking a lot like him and Itachi staring up expectantly at him.

"Aa," he acknowledged as he picked him up. Itachi looked to the Nara boy with wide onyx eyes and he looked over to see his youngest daughter peeking around the corner with wide onyx eyes at the Nara boy.

"Sayuri," Shikadai greeted. The younger toddler disappeared down the corner. Sasuke put his eldest and only son down and the four year old darted off after his little sister.

"Sir," Shikadai looked at him and shifted from foot to foot as he stood there.

"Let me be clear, you make her cry, break her heart, harm her in anyway and you will not need to worry your future, because I will end you," Sasuke snarled out. "She is my eldest daughter, and if you dare to treat her how I treated her mother," because the entire village apparently knew he had broken Sakura's heart repeatedly when they were younger. "I will rip you to shreds, light you on fire and walk away without a backwards glance. You will treat her like a queen or you will perish, understood, Nara?"

The boy looked at him with wide startled green eyes before a lazy smirk spread on his lips and he nodded.

"Yes Sir, I will treat her like a queen."

"Good, and if you touch her, I'll kill you," Sasuke said flatly. He couldn't stop his daughter from dating, Sakura had already given him a week's notice that Sarada liked a boy and had been asked to the festival by a boy and she was going, and said boy (at the time unnamed boy, probably left anonymous by Sakura so he lived to this point) was to be alive and well when Sarada's date came.

"Yes Sir," he nodded and they stood there in silence. He was not happy about this and he was still tempted to Amaterasu the boy standing there but he didn't because to do so would mean he'd be igniting the wrath of his wife and eldest daughter. It was strange how all three Uchiha women had Sakura's temper, he had hopes that his son was going to be like Itachi in the temper department, but there was also Sakura's slight bump holding their fourth child which she claimed had his temper.

"Good," he snarled and he heard a crash in the other room.

"Itachi!" he heard Sarada yelp.

"Alright, everyone's alright, Sarada, nothing happened, so come on," he heard Sakura order. He was shocked with how his daughter looked as she rounded the corner. Itachi was hugging his mother's skirt, a sleepy Sayuri was hugging her mom who was holding her up, and Sarada was holding her mother's hand as she appeared.

His family, it was the only thought in his mind as he looked at them.

"Hey Shikadai," Sarada mumbled as she blushed a little. Sasuke scowled at Shikadai who smiled at her and offered her the flowers.

"Here," he said nervously and Sasuke picked up Itachi again before the four year old could cause trouble.

"Well, Papa?" Sarada asked him shyly. He looked his eldest over with a critical eye, she looked gorgeous in her pink kimono which faded into red at the bottom, flower petals were embroidered into it with leaves which brought tints of green into the design, he recognized it as a gift from her grandmother and grandfather with the Uchiha crest on the back of it.

"Beautiful," he said coolly. She smiled happily.

"I'll have her home by…" Shikadai started.

"Nine," he answered, that gave them two hours an elbow in his ribs had him scowling at his small pink wife.

"Eleven," Sakura said and he glared at the boy.

"Ten!" Sarada compromised then. "We'll be back at ten. Thanks Mom!"

"Have fun," Sakura ordered.

"Love you, dad!" she said as she took Shikadai's offered arm, he glared at the boy.

"I'll take care of her!" Shikadai assured him in a laidback tone which had him lifting his brow as he watched them go.

"I don't like this," he grumbled.

"Oh Shush, she was going to grow up at some point!" Sakura said as she walked to the nursery, he followed her with Itachi who tugged on his hair, Sasuke glanced at his son who grinned as he poked his brow, Sasuke smiled slight to the toddler in his arm as they walked into the nursery and he put the kid on his bed.

"Why can't they just stay… little?" he grumbled as he tucked Itachi in and walked over to Sakura who was putting Sayuri on her bed.

"Well, they have to grow up at some point, it's inevitable," she pointed out as she finished tucking Sayuri in who giggled at having a kiss on the brow when Sakura got to her feet unsteadily, Sasuke helped her up, it had only taken four pregnancies for her to actually look pregnant, and even now in month eight she only looked like she was just starting her second trimester according to Tsunade.

"Sayuri, don't grow up," he ordered his grinning toddler, she was almost two and he loved being around this time as leaned over and kissed her brow. She yawned and fell asleep. Itachi and Sayuri were taking after their eldest sister at this age, they didn't talk yet, and while he wasn't worried about it after having had gone through this with Sarada, it was apparently concerning to Tsunade, Kakashi, the Dobe, Hinata, Mebuki, and Kizashi and pretty much all of their friends. However, Sarada had spoken her first words when she had found her mother miscarrying and unconscious and half-dead; not a pleasant memory for him but it was when Sarada had screamed her first words.

"Don't be ridiculous Sasuke," Sakura said as they left the toddlers to sleep. "Besides, she could do worse than Nara, I think she mostly likes him because he can keep up with her thought processes."

"He's a he and he's with my daughter, I don't care who he is; I do not like him," Sasuke grounded out.

"She could date Boruto," Sakura pointed out flatly. He felt his eye twitch with a homicidal intent. Whether that kid was his student or not, he'd burn him alive if he even thought about courting Sarada. At least Nara was respectable, dobe jr. was the fucking dobe but smarter at seventeen.

"No, not even Karama would do that to me," Sasuke snapped.

"I don't know, you've don't a lot of really bad things over the course of your life… and what goes around comes around," Sakura teased, he snarled as he grabbed her and pulled her close.

"No," he answered her and she smiled as she laughed.

"Sasuke, you had to know this day would come," she mused.

"I thought I'd be dead at least two weeks when it did," he admitted and his wife laughed as she rested her brow on his chest then looked up at him. He was shocked when she pulled him down for a hard kiss on the lips. He responded greedily as he gently pushed her up against a wall and was mindful of the slight protruding bump holding his fourth child. His fingers were in her hair as they kissed for a long moment and nothing else mattered to them for a second.

"She'll be alright Sasuke," Sakura breathed when he pulled away. He rested his brow on hers and just stayed there for a moment.

"I still don't trust him," Sasuke said firmly. Sakura smiled.

"You're not required to trust him, just… trust Sarada. She's a smart young woman, and she's an Uchiha, and I didn't raise a fool so trust her Sasuke," Sakura said.

"Aa," he agreed reluctantly as he kissed her again.

"Sasuke,"

"No, you are still very pregnant despite your deceptively normal appearance and we are not having a repeat of Sarada or Itachi," he said firmly. She grumbled a bit as they eventually ended up on the couch of the fourth time rebuilt house to watch a movie. Sakura was sound asleep within minutes and he smirked in triumph as he enjoyed a moment of peace while he waited up for his daughter to return. At around nine forty he maneuvered Sakura to her bed, she protested a bit as he put her on the bed but he won just simple because she was exhausted. But as a mother of three and pregnant, he didn't think it was surprising that she was exhausted.

He left Sakura sound asleep in their room as he waited up for Sarada. Eighteen minutes after putting Sakura to bed, at exactly nine fifty-nine he heard Sarada's voice and he activated his Sharingan as he watched his daughter and their date. He actually took a deep breath to prevent himself from lunging out of his house, grabbing his daughter and killing the Nara brat when he saw Shikadai kiss his daughter's small form and wait for her as she walked into the house at exactly ten o'clock on the dot.

"Dad!" Sarada gasped once she saw him after shutting the door.

"Sarada," he greeted, the seventeen year old blushed and bit her lip.

"You saw that?" she asked shyly.

"Aa," he answered with a nod; there was no point in lying to the girl because it was a rule Sarada had started when she had found his journals of all his crimes and nightmares when she had been thirteen. She had demanded the truth and then after receiving a long and painful talk from him and Sakura about what had gone on in his past she had then ordered nothing but the truth ever be told because she wasn't going to stand to be treated like a child when she had a right to know the truth.

"Please don't kill him?" Sarada said uncertainly.

"Did he harm you?"

"No," she answered.

"Did he touch you?"

"No."

"Did he break your heart?"

"No."

"Then I don't have a reason to kill him, yet," Sasuke informed her. Sarada giggled a bit and walked over to the couch before flopping onto it with him as they both stared at the television in companionable silence.

"Dad?"

"Hn."

"When did you know mom was the one?" Sarada asked him suddenly and he stiffened slightly at the question as he looked over to his eldest daughter who looked at him expectantly.

"Elaborate," he ordered.

"When did you know mom was your one, the one you wanted to marry and be with for the rest of your life?" Sarada asked.

"Truth or censored?" he demanded. There was the truth of his side, or she could just as her mother who would have the censored version so he didn't look more like a bastard than he already was.

"Truth," Sarada said as she pulled her short hair down.

"The first time I left you and her behind," he answered and that froze Sarada.

"But that was… that was…" she stammered.

"Right after your third birthday," he answered honestly and she just gaped at him. "I married her when the Kazekage was trying to lure her to Suna, I knew I loved her when I had to leave you two behind," Sasuke explained and she just blinked.

"But mom loved you… for… forever? How come you didn't love her?" Sarada asked. He just sighed.

"You read the journals Sarada," he answered coldly and his daughter looked at her lap. "Why?"

"Well… I was just curious…" she evaded and he glared at her and she sighed. "Fine, I think… I think I might… like Shikadai more than just a date," she mumbled and peeked at him. His eyes narrowed and she gave him her nervous crooked grin.

"If he breaks your heart I'm killing him," he warned her seriously and she smiled her lopsided grin broadly as she gave him a hug; in private they expressed affection, though rare, but in public this almost never happened as he hesitantly brought his arm around Sarada and hugged her as well as he kissed the top of her head.

"You're the best dad ever," she informed him as she pulled away then hurried to her room leaving him stunned when he walked back to his room and smirked in triumph at his daughter's sweet words as he changed for bed and crawled into the bed as he pulled his wife close and rested his hand on her swollen stomach.

"Sasuke," Sakura mumbled.

"I'm the best dad ever," he whispered in her ear and she laughed sleepily.

"Told you so," Sakura yawned. "I love you," she whispered as she fell back into her deep slumber and he curled around her in response.

"Aa," he agreed solemnly.
