R&R

Not sure of the pairings yet. Ideas are very much welcome. ^_^

Naruto couldn't believe his eyes as he read the information he found out about Sakura's mother. Not only did she have Uchiha blood running through her veins but her father was Sasuke and Itachi's youngest uncle. "Sasuke's gonna shit when he finds out about this." He muttered as he printed the information and got it ready for the young Uchiha's viewing. "Sai and Itachi must suspect something if they're being so friendly toward her. But maybe not. Neither one of them have let on that they know or suspect a thing." The blond continued to talk to himself as he threw the folder into his messenger bag and got ready for school.

"Well? What did you find out?" Ino demanded as she sat in her customary spot on Sasuke's right. "It turns out that Sasuke's youngest uncle Katashi had a taste for young women back before he finally settled down with Shisui's mother. Sakura's mother was barely out of high school when he began his relationship with her. She was just 18. Halfway through her sophomore year in college, Sakura's mother told Katashi that she was pregnant with Sakura and he kinda freaked I guess. That's when he tried to kill her. She never told anyone else it was Katashi's baby so he just lied and told everyone that she cheated on him with the man Sakura knows as her father. By the time Sakura was actually born, Shisui was a senior in high school and Itachi was just a freshman." Naruto replied. "Katashi is Sakura's father?" Ino asked, uncaring that Sasuke wasn't here to hear the news yet. "Yeah. We'd have to convince her to get a DNA test to be sure but the timeline for her being Katashi's daughter is spot on." Naruto replied. "I'm rather reluctant to reveal this to Sasuke-kun without solid proof. He'd go batshit crazy if he knew that his greatest enemy was actually a member of his family even if she has no clue about it." Ino said warily. "I know. I'm friends with her and I'm worried about telling Teme about this without concrete evidence. Maybe we could present this to Madara, Itachi, and Sai first? See if they can talk her into it?" Naruto agreed. "You could probably do it but they'd attack me on sight." Ino sighed. "I'll see what I can do." Naruto promised. "Wait! Doesn't your uncle Yamato work at the prison where Sakura's father is locked up?" Ino asked. "Yeah he does." Naruto nodded. "Get him to convince Sakura's father to demand a paternity test to see if she's his biological daughter." Ino said. "That's a great idea! I'll call him right now." Naruto enthused.

Sakura frowned as she listened to the lawyer on the phone. "My father's demanding a paternity test? Why?" She asked. "Your father is concerned that his other children might try to muscle in on your inheritance with the claim that you're not a biological child." The lawyer replied. Sakura sighed. "Alright. I'll take the stupid test." She said. "Great. Head over to the Konoha Clinic before you go to school and submit a blood sample ok?" The lawyer enthused. "Alright." Sakura replied. She hung up and drove to the clinic since it was on her way to school. "Hello." A dark haired woman smiled. "Hi. I'm Haruno Sakura. I'm supposed to be giving a blood sample for a DNA test." Sakura said. "Ah yes. Right this way. Mikaru-san just called." The woman said. Sakura followed her and gave her sample willingly enough. "I'll call you in a few days to give you the results." The woman said. "Great. Thanks." Sakura smiled and headed to school, dreading the insults, jeers, and shit she'd have to take when she got there.

"Sakura your phone's ringing." Shino said quietly as they sat in homeroom together. "That was fast." Sakura said as she answered the phone. "Hello Haruno-chan. I understand that I said it would be a few days but your results were rushed for some reason. It turns out that the man you know as your father is in fact not your father at all." The feminine voice said apologetically. "What?" Sakura asked stupidly. "Haruno Hitsuko, the man that you have known as your father, is not your biological father." The female voice repeated patiently. "Thank you very much." Sakura said faintly. She hung up and her phone fell from numb fingers. "Sakura what's wrong?" Shino asked. "I need to see the Doc." Sakura replied. Shino dutifully raised his hand and asked Iruka for a pass for Sakura to see Doctor Orochimaru.

"Sakura is something the matter? You were rather frightening out in the waiting room." Orochimaru asked. "The man that has plagued me for years of my life is not my father. I have been living a lie all my life." Sakura replied. "You are lost." Orochimaru said. "Yes. All my life, I have known only Hitsuko as my father. My mother never told me differently. She said the black streaks in my hair were from Hitsuko because Hiro-chan's hair was black. But now I know that to be a lie. I don't know what to do." Sakura replied. "You keep living like you were before you found out this distressing news. You never visit him anyway so what does the news matter? It just makes the charges levied against him a little more serious is all." Orochimaru pointed out mildly. "How can I just accept that Hitsuko isn't my father?" Sakura demanded. Orochimru chuckled slightly. "Sakura you already disregarded him as your father the moment you became emancipated. You yourself said that you cared nothing for him. He's tormented you since you were a little girl after your mother and brother died. I don't see how finding out this nasty truth is any different than disowning him." He replied. Sakura nodded. "You're right." She agreed. Orochimaru smiled as the two stood. "Now that you're more agreeable about the whole situation, you could now take steps to find out who your real father is perhaps?" He asked. "Yeah. I should do that. I deserve to know that much at least." Sakura replied with a smile. "I look forward to hearing the results of your search." Orochimaru said. "Yeah definitely. Thanks Doc." Sakura replied. She left the office with a light heart and returned in time for her first class.

Please R&R. I like hearing feedback. However don't use a review as an excuse to be a dick. If you do, I will be a dick right back.
