"I can't believe that we've got our first mission today." Sasame said eagerly as she and her brothers waited for their teacher down in front of the hokage's palace. For the three Uchihas had recently become genin and now each of them wore official hidden leaf headbands, although Sasame was the only one who didn't wear it upon her forehead and instead had it tied up on top of her head just like their mother once had. That morning Sakura had been rather worried about her children going out into the world for the very first time until Sasuke reassured her that everything would be alright.

That's when suddenly Konohamaru arrived. "So what is our mission Konohamaru-sensei?" Sasame questioned. "We're traveling to the hidden sand village to see the kage. You see there have been some grave robbers there that have been stealing some special artifacts from their tombs. One of them being from the kage's father." He told them. "That's why I told you all to wear short sleeve shirts and shorts and to bring plenty of sunscreen today. It's going to be hot." He explained. "Well I'm ready!" Sasame exclaimed excitedly. "Right just make sure that your skirt doesn't lift up and we have to see your underwear." Sakori told her since he knew that his sister never wore shorts. "Come on then, let's go." Konohamaru said as they all set off on their way.

"Come on Takeo, follow the scent boy. You can do it." Sasuke told him as he placed Sakura's purple thong down on the ground in front him unaware that Naruto was on his way up the path. Takeo simply just sat down next to it looking up at his master and whimpered. "Ugh!" Naruto cried as his eyeballs nearly popped out of their sockets. "You know even though I have this huge hat covering me doesn't mean that I'm blind!" he yelled as he came to a dead stop. "And I really didn't need to see my sister's underwear!" he shouted.

"What? I'm trying to train Takeo to be a ninja hound." Sasuke told him with a grin. "Anyway what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be back at the palace?" he questioned. "Well yeah, but just because I'm the hokage now doesn't mean that I can't go outside or see my family anymore." Naruto explained. "Besides I had to tell you guys something, where is my sister anyway?" he asked him. "That's what I was trying to figure out before you showed up. But what do you have to tell me?" Sasuke asked. "Well I was going to wait until the whole family was here, but what the heck I'll tell you if you promise to keep it a secret." He said. "Go ahead then, I won't say anything." Sasuke promised him.

"I'm pregnant!" he yelled excitedly as Sasuke's eye started to twitch a little. "Gee, I knew modern science had a lot of weird things going on nowadays but_" he began. "Oops," Naruto began with a mischievous chuckle. "I meant Hinata was pregnant, and since I'm her husband, well, you know." He told him. "Oh," Sasuke began with a laugh. "now I see what you mean. Well congratulations Naruto." He said. "Yep! Now you're going to be an uncle!" he exclaimed with a grin. "And speaking of that, how are my niece and nephews doing anyway?" Naruto asked him.

"They're doing great, they just went out on their first mission with Konohamaru." He answered. "Gee, whoever thought that kid would become a sensei?" Naruto questioned. "The same people who thought that you would end up being the hokage." Sasuke answered. "Gee I guess you have a point there. I'm just lucky that some people like you and Sakura and your kids had faith in me. Where is Konohamaru taking them anyway?" Naruto asked him. "I think it was where Gaara was born, the hidden sand village or something." He answered when suddenly Naruto gave out a loud horrified gasp.

"What's wrong?" Sasuke asked him with concern. "He can't take them there he just can't!" Naruto yelled frantically. "What? Why not?" Sasuke asked him. "Come on Sasuke I'll explain it to you on the way," he began as he quickly grabbed ahold of his arm. "Right now we have to find my sister and your wife." He told him. "Alright come on Takeo, if you ever hope of being a ninja hound someday then you have to find Sakura! Now go find her boy!" he yelled and as if the dog knew what he was supposed to do he quickly started sniffing the ground before finding her scented trail. He stopped and raised his nose into the air before quickly running away with Naruto and Sasuke chasing after him.

Meanwhile Konohamaru and the rest of squad three had arrived inside the hidden sand village. They were now face to face with the kage, who was a young woman with dark red hair and skin as white as snow due to her makeup along with golden eye shadow and black eye liner. Mizu had to admit that even though she looked rather weird, she also looked quite beautiful in a way. She also spoke inside a soft voice that was almost rather like a whisper. "I'm glad you and the rest of your squad are here Konohamaru." She said.

"My guards have been trying to stop this person for months." She explained. "Well who is he and what does he want?" Sasame asked when suddenly a younger boy about her age with the same dark red hair walked over to her. Sasame gasped as she stared into his dark eyes. He seemed to scare her yet attract her at the exact same time. "It is a she." He began. "I am Prince Haru, since my mother is the kage." He explained. "I'm Sasame Uchiha and these are my brothers." She began.

"I know who you are Sasame, I have heard so much about you, your brothers, your parents, and your aunt and uncle." He told her. "And I'm so glad that you and your brothers are finally here because the hidden sand village needs your help. This grave robber has been stealing from the previous kage, and my grandfather." He told her. "You mean, Gaara was your grandfather?" she questioned with disbelief. "Yes he was, and not only has this bandit been stealing from his grave, but she has also been stealing from my mother. There is this ancient scroll that has the lost secrets to the city of Atlantis." He explained when suddenly there came a scream within somewhere in the village.

"Sasame Sakori Mizu let's go!" Konohamaru said as all four of them raced back down the palace steps. Sure enough there was a woman dressed in black hooded black robes and holding a sack of gold inside her hands having just murdered another woman for it. "She's headed into the cemetery!" Sasame cried as they quickly rounded the corner. That's when suddenly Konohamaru suddenly wondered to himself if they were over their heads and if it had been such a good idea after all for a genin mission. Sasame didn't care though. Before Konohamaru had a chance to stop her she quickly leaped over the fence. "Sasame no!" he shouted but it was too late. Sasame was glaring at the woman who was now digging up someone else's grave, and she was doing it through her sharingan eyes.
