The Uchiha Imperial Princess

A/N: I will be putting my story (The Art Of Mending Time) on hold for a while just so I can gather my bearing around the plot and unblock this writer's block I have. Fear nt I have not given up on it, it's just I have too much on my plate at the moment and "The Uchiha Imperial Princess" ideas are coming easier to me than TAOMT ideas are. Any creative plot ideas for TAOMT would be greatly appreciated. Also this story is ItaSaku, I am in no way going to change the pairing so if you don't like the pairing then please for your sake and my sanity just don't read it okay. Great thanks =D. Thank you very much for your understanding

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto just the plot of my story.

Chapter 2

Family dinners in the Uchiha household without tension was a rare occasion especially since Sakura awoken her Sharingan before Izuna did which pissed the boy off majorly. So much so that he hadn't stop pestering his father to train him even harder than before. His reason being that he would not be bested by his younger sibling who was turning out to be quite violent recently. But then again she could have gotten her violent tendencies from their mother for all he knew or she was secretly meeting up with those damn Senju and being extra mean to him as a result. Madara however would argue that it's all in Izuna's head and that the Senju weren't all that bad except no one knew his exact opinion on Tobirama given that the younger Senju clearly voiced his dislike of any and all Uchiha, especially Sakura's precious Madara Oni-chan. Something Sakura greatly never appreciated especially considering that fact that Madara and Hashirama were best friends. Tobirama didn't have to like all the Uchiha, especially Izuna, but the least he can do is be nice to Madara, right? Especially since he'll be taking over as head of the Uchiha clan soon enough.

Now there was the questioning of Sakura's training. Her father still refused to teach her appalled by the fact that she indeed had pink hair. Childish for a clan head, I know right? But then again he is an Uchiha and it's brought to everyone's attention that their sanity can be gladly questioned with the whole curse of hatred or whatever you call it. Unbeknownst to her family she was still training with that white haired goddess who seems to be more maniacal than Tsunade ever was by a really long shot. The question is why wouldn't Sakura seek training else where after being told she can't train with her father. After a year of training with that insane woman she noticed her body was getting so use to the taijutsu movements that it had been practically ingrained into her so far that it was getting extremely difficult to hide it from her family especially the perceptive eyes of her mother.

Well it was a year later since that fateful day of meeting her new her sensei,it was March 28th after all. Being the impulsive Aries that she was she couldn't help but squeal in delight at the prospect learning a new jutsu today and almost raced off to the forest. Almost, because before she could do anything too drastic because Madara stopped her.

"Imouto-chan, where do you think you're going?" He asked his impulsive cute younger sister sternly.

"Play... Madara-oni-chan, i want to play." She said while pouting. She used her infamous puppy dog eyes against Madara which she never graced any of her other family members with with the exception of her mother of course. As soon as he caught sight of his sister's infamous puppy dog eyes Madara's resolve melted drastically which was extremely uncommon for the oldest Uchiha sibling. The fact that she had the most stunning shade of jade ors he had ever seen played a huge role in emphasising the cuteness of her puppy dog eyes something Sakura exploited to her full advantage against her eldest brother and her mother when she refused to bathe.

"Fine only this once I'll let you out of my sight because it's your birthday." He said poking her forehead with his index finger much like with what Itachi used to do to Sasuke. Sakura squealed at the top of her lungs and almost bolted straight of the front door but before she could go Madara caught a hold of her dress.

"However you or not allowed to wonder off the compound. Am I understood imouto-chan?" He asked sternly.

"Hai Madara-oni-chan." She said rather quickly unable to control her excitement as her eyes portrayed her longing to be outside. Madara let her go no matter how hard it was for him. Ever since the war escalated drastically during the past year Madara had been afraid to let his little sister out of his sight for fear that she might accidentally wonder off of the Uchiha compound and ger herself killed. This made it extremely difficult for Sakura to train secretly because she felt as if she was being watched like hawk. She was even assigned guards by her overprotective brother as precautionary measure so she didn't wind herself up in deep trouble. Her father n the other hand was a different basket case as he could care less what she did in her spare time as long as she didn't damage his reputation as clan head and didn't give people the false idea that the head family of the Uchiha clan was by any and all means weak.

Sakura sprinted out the door as soon as her brother let go of her dress. Madara then decided then and there that she was far too energetic for her own good and just shook his head and smiled. He had every intention to visit Hashirama that day in hopes of finding a way for them to end this on going war between their clans. He was doing it for his sister's sake. he didn't want by the time that she reached her teenage years for the war to be going on and she had to lie in constant fear of being targeted because she was the only daughter of the head of the Uchiha clan.

Sakura jumped through the forest trees fully aware that she was late for her training session and that her Shishou would not be amused in the slightest. Madara-nii did say not to go off the Uchiha compound though he never warned her not to go into the forest and technically she still had not leave the compound seeing as this part of the forest was situated on their land. She spotted the small clearing up ahead in the forest that held her favourite tree in the forest. The clearing held the only Sakura tree in the forest which kind of symbolised her existence within her clan. The only Uchiha with pink-hair who everyone within the Uchiha clan but her mother and eldest brother seemed to avoid

"You're late." The white haired woman said unamused at her apprentice.

"Gomen nasai Shishou but Madara-nii wouldn't let me out of his sight." She said as she skidded to a halt. She bent over a little her body slightly used to all the running she's been doing for the past year.

"It's okay Sakura-chan. Happy birthday." She said handing the pinkette a long wooden box with a latch on it. Sakura took the gift from her mentor and opened the box. Inside it was the most beautiful katana Sakura had ever laid eyes upon. The hilt was purple and had the kanji for perseverance inscribed on it. The steel of the blade was so clean that it could be used as a mirror of sorts when needed. She looked at it with tears in her eyes not use to receiving gifts on her birthday. She delicately placed the katana back into its case, closed it and put it one side. She launched herself at her mentor.

"Arigatou Shishou..." She mumbled into the elder woman's dress and she neatly wrapped her arms around the woman's waist. The goddess's body pulled stiff not use to her personal space being invaded so openly, eventually she wrapped her arms around the young pinkette letting a soft smile grace her lips.

"You're most welcome Sakura-chan" She said. Eventually Sakura let go of her mentor and looked more determined than ever to learn something new. She's show both her brother and her father that she was a far cry from weak. The woman smiled proudly at her apprentice's look of determination seeing a fire in those emerald eyes that she saw every training session as Sakura improved.

"Today I'm going to be teaching you how to evade attacks." She said with a rather malicious look in her eyes. Sakura felt an involuntary shudder go down her spine as she looked at her mentor. She had a feeling that she was going to be used as her personal punching bag for today.

"Today you'll be used as my personal punching bag, there ae no birthday privileges during training." She said letting evil laughter escape her lips. Now she really felt like bolting for the nearest exit. Just as she took off in the opposite direction of her teacher and stopped at what she considered was a safe distance away. She rested her back against the tree. Her warning senses suddenly went off but it was a little too late for her to react as she found herself flying across the forest with the kind regards of her Shishou's fist. Yep today was going to be a ong day indeed.

Read and review =D No flames I'll feed them to Natsu.
