Ok, so here is another masterpiece by moi. Ok, this one is about their kids. (gasp!) I know; they actually grew up! Amazing. So, anyway, this chapter is just introducing them. So, here you go…

The Next Generation

Prologue

The local Konoha park was filled with small children. Everyone was happy school was out for a week, so they used their time very wisely. They ran like the wind, screamed like maniacs, and played like there was no tomorrow.

The girls had taken over the swing sets while the boys were playing Ninja over in the field.

A seven-year-old girl began swinging higher and higher. "Hey, Hana, bet I could go higher then you!" Another seven-year-old girl turned to her friend. "You're on Chiharu!" Hana began pumping like mad, trying to catch up to Chiharu.

Suddenly, someone came running over to the swings. "Hey, do you guys want to play as well?" The seven-year-old boy asked. Etsu, a seven-year-old girl turned to her two friends who had clearly not heard Junichi. "Guys, want to play Ninja?"

Both Hana and Chiharu put their feet down, bringing up a load of dust. "Sure!" they both said together. The three girls and Junichi walked over to the two boys in the field. "Hey, Daichi, Masaki!"

An eight-year-old boy turned to the newcomers. "Hey." He muttered. Masaki, another eight-year-old boy turned to the girls. "Hi Hana, Etsu… sister…"

Chiharu walked up to her brother and gave him a light punch in the shoulder. "…Brother…" she muttered. The two siblings loved each other dearly, but they loved to tease the other as well.

"Ok, so are we going to play or not?" Hana called. She was clearly ready to get going.

Masaki spoke up, "Sure. Now, teams. How about boys vs. girls?" Everyone agreed to this idea, and they all got into their squads after dividing up the weapons (dull imitations of real kunai and shiriken, but made of wood). The girls stood on one end of the field, while the boys on the other. "Ok, capture the other teams person buy pushing them to the ground, once their down, on their stomach or back, their out. Got it?" Masaki called. Everyone nodded, and the game was on.

The children ran toward each other, throwing their 'weapons', trying to push over the other players. After a few minutes into the game, Chiharu fell to the ground. "Darn!" she called, getting up and walking over to the sidelines.

Hana ran toward Junichi and took out her kunai. She threw one at him, which he dodged. "Ha, have to be better then that!" he called. Hana grinned slyly, "Oh, but I am!" she then threw a second kunai at him. He was not surprised, and he jumped out of this ones path as well. He was just about to make a sly remark, when suddenly, Hana charged him. She tackled him, and he fell to the ground on his back. "Clever Hana, make a distraction. Never saw it coming!" Hana smiled. "Thanks." Junichi too walked to the sidelines and sat with Chiharu.

Now the game was tied again. Etsu ran toward Masaki, each with a kunai in their hand. They both clashed together, and both fell to the ground. "Darn!" they both shouted, laughing.

Now it was just Hana and Daichi. 'Wait… where is-' Hana thought, but then something rammed her in the side. She went flying, but before she landed on the ground she quickly did a flip in the air. She landed on her feet while everyone on the sidelines cheered for her victorious landing. She turned to see Daichi, charging at her with a kunai. She took out hers as well, and then she too charged. They met in the middle, both trying to shove the other down with their kunai. "You're not going to win." Said Daichi with a smug look on his face. "Oh, that's what you think." The two continued fighting, but nether fell. Suddenly, the group heard a voice from the sidewalk. "Kids, time to go!"

Daichi turned to see who it was, but when he did, Hana saw an opening. She quickly took her foot and tripped him, causing him fell to the ground and landed on his stomach. "Ha! Winner!" Hana yelled, raising her arms in the air happily. Daichi stood up, "Hey, not fair!" Hana smiled down at him. "There are no time out's in real battles."

Suddenly, a man with messy blonde hair came walking over to the gang. He placed his hand on Hana's head and said proudly, "That's my girl!" Hana turned around and gave her dad a big hug. "Daddy! Did you see me? Did you? I kicked butt!" Naruto laughed. "Yes, I saw you."

"Daichi, over here!" Daichi turned to see his mother, a women with long pink hair, standing over on the sidewalk. "Hi mom!" he called. Sakura walked over to her son, fallowed by her Sasuke. "Hi dad." Daichi said, greeting his parents.

Chiharu and Masaki were beginning to argue again, when they too heard something. "Kids! Over here!" both ran toward their mother, a woman with long blond hair. "Hi mom!" they both yelled.

Two more figures stood beside Ino; they were Gaara and Neji. "Kids!" Gaara called. Junichi ran toward his red haired father, fallowed by Etsu. Neji hugged his daughter, then turned to Ino, "Tell Shikamaru Tenten and I say hi." Ino nodded, waving goodbye as she and her kids walked down the street. Gaara, Neji, Junichi and Etsu too left the park.

Hana and Daichi began arguing about the result of their game. Naruto turned to Sasuke, "They're going to be best friends." He said smiling. Sasuke turned as well, "I think they'll be more then that." The fathers turned to their kids, seeing the flare in their eyes as they yelled at each other. "Yup." Naruto said. "Ok Hana, let's go! You're mom will be worried." Hana ran over to her dad's leg, and then stuck her tongue out at Daichi, who crossed his arms in reply. "Say hi to Hinata for us." Sakura said. Naruto nodded, "Will do."

The two families began walking down separate streets. The sun set in the distance as Sasuke and Naruto turned slightly around to see each other. They gave a slight smile, then turned back to their kids. 'Time sure went by quickly.' Sasuke thought, shoving his hands in his pockets. Naruto did that same.

He he. Now you know all!

Sasuke is with Sakrua (no duh!) and they had Daichi, Naruto is with Hinata (once again, no duh!) with their little girl Hana, Tenten and Neji (Once again… again… no duh!) who had Etsu, Ino and Shikamaru (I know, but their kids wont be lazy asses, don't worry) had Masaki and Chiharu, and finally Gaara and OC (I know, stupid, but I need the dad to be Gaara, and he has no romance life, and there are no more girls left) had his son Junichi.

Ok, so what will happen when they grow up? Who knows! You'll have to read to see! Also, is Sasuke right, or will Hana and Daichi become mortal enemies? (Gasp! You wouldn't!) Oh, yes… yes I would… but then again, who knows! R&R! Dani out!
