Sakura stood at the entrance to the Uchiha compound with Ino in tow. She couldn't believe she was seriously considering this.

"Alright Forehead, why did you bring me to one of the creepiest places in the village? Are your trying to scar.e me or something?"

Sakura shifted her eyes to Ino, before tugging her arm further inside where the majority of dilapidated houses stood. "I'm actually thinking about buying the land and turning it into a large garden. Thought I would get your insight."

Ino opened and closed her mouth a few times. Sakura noted how much she looked like a fish, before deciding to keep that comment to herself. Although, she would still tease her friend. "Close your mouth, Pig, or you'll catch flies."

"You're kidding, right? Surely you can't be considering buying the whole of the compound, that'd take like... way to much money. Also, its creepy here."

"Well, thats why you're here, isn't it? To help me figure out ways to make it less creepy? Also, yes, I'm thinking about it, even talked with Tsunade some. I haven't made up my mind for sure yet. If I do end up getting it, it will be for below market value. No one else wants it because, like you said, its a little creepy."

"Well, if you're serious about it, I'll help where I can. Although, there's no way I can do it by myself. I suggest you get Tenzou's help as well- you know the weird guy that sometimes hangs around the flower shop? He's got special jutsu for helping with trees and landscapes."

"Hm... I think I know who you're talking about. Tall guy with droopy eyes? Can pull of the strangest stare on the planet?" Ino was nodding her head before she even finished. "Yep, that's him."

"I'll see if I can't get in touch with him. For now, tell me your ideas. There's only a couple of things that I'm going to insist on, the rest is up to you."

"What do you want?"

"I'd like a reflection pool with several sakura trees surrounding it, I'm also planning on putting a memorial up towards the front." When Ino quizzically looked at her she added, "It is only right since this is where the Uchiha lived and died." Ino nodded her head in agreement while they continued to walk around the deserted compound. "I've got a couple of ideas, but there will need to be some demolition done first, then the land will need to be prepped. Its a lot of work. After you get everything settled, let me know so we can start working on a plan. I know you can do the demo yourself, but if you can afford it, consider getting some genin teams to help with clean up."

"That's no a bad idea. I'll talk with Tsunade some more later, and get everything straightened out."

That night, when Sakura laid in her bed, she couldn't help but think about how crazy she was for taking this project on.

Several weeks later found Sakura punching houses in the old Uchiha District. She'd gone through several before a presence behind her had her throwing her punch in a different direction.

"Now, now Sakura-chan. Is that any way to treat your ex-sensie?" Sakura simply smiled and threw another punch with her left hand, as he had caught her right by the wrist. He ducked and released her. "It is when they don't show up for scheduled appointments at the hospital."

"Ah, well you see I saw a kitten in the tree and rescued it, then I of course had to locate the owner."

Sakura rolled her eyes at his lame excuse, as well as the way his eye crinkled whenever he was giving a fake smile beneath his mask. It was odd how much emotion that one could illustrate.

"Well, I'm sure you've had plenty of time, what with you being off duty and all that."

Kakashi narrowed his eye at her. "I had wondered if that was your doing. Shizune usually just yells at me. Thanks to you, I got yelled at by Tsunade and taken off active duty with instructions 'not to do anything strenuous, as you haven't been cleared yet.' I haven't had much to do."

Sakura snorted, and crumbled the next house in the row. "How about this, I'll give you your check up at my house when I'm done here later this evening, if you go tell Tsunade to send a couple of genins out here for clean up."

"How many teams did you hire out?"

"None, actually. It was part of the deal. In exchange for erecting a memorial, the village would cover the cost of clean up. Tsunade thought it was a great way to anoy Kotaru and Homura."

"I'm sure they were thrilled. Although, its not really that expensive in the scheme of things. It will make the village look better. I heard you're getting Tenzou's help with the landscaping."

"Yes, and thanks for reminding me to punch him. Here I've been calling him by the wrong name this entire time... Kami, why on earth didn't he tell me after that mission was over?"

"Well, it was Tsunade's idea after all, so don't blame him too much. Although, you can definitely blame him for continuing to go by Yamato after the fact. What should I expect at my check-up?"

"Nice way to change the subject Kakashi. I'll look at your Sharingan and clear any chakra build up, check for infections, and update your vaccinations."

"I'm so excited I cannot contain my joy."

Sakura laughed and punched him on the shoulder- gently- go tell Tsunade about those genin. If they don't get here in a timely manner, I'm blaming you ad your check up will be hell."

Kakashi shivered at the evil look she gave him, before swiftly disappearing in a swirl of leaves. For once in his life, he went straight to Hokage Tower to make sure the genins made it to the compound as soon as possible.
