Chapter two: One year Time Skip
Two months after Uchiha Sasuke had been born, a catastrophe took place.
"Itachi! Get everyone into the Hokage's Monument!" Sakura ordered Itachi who nodded and ran to the Uchiha estate. Sakura sighed and she looked at the Kyuubi no Yoko(The nine-tailed fox). She walked towards it and she smirked up at it. "Well, if it isn't the little foxxie." She purred up to the fox and he looked down at her with slightly wide red-piercing demon eyes. Sakura's own eyes flashed to her Mangenkyou Sharingan and she watch every one of Kyuubi's movements.
"Sakura-chan! Get out of there!!" Yondaime yelled at her from his place on Gamabunta's. Sakura reached out slightly and her nails grew into claws. She growled and her canines grew into fangs. "Let's play" Sakura purred and then her eyes shined blood red, but not from the Sharingan. She's just hit the demon stage. "What the-Sakura-chan!! Get away from it! It'll kill you! You couldn't possibly be strong enough to kill a demon!" Minato yelled at Sakura and she growled and phased out, phasing back in when she was on top of Gamabunta's head. She had a hold of Minato's throat as he choked "Shut up, I am a vampire, and I am a very pissed off vampire, to. I'll let you seal the Kyuubi, but I'm going to at least have my own fun. God knows I don't have any more challenges." Sakura growled and then she threw Minato down onto Gamabunta's head and then she backflipped onto Kyuubi's head. "Hello, Kyuubi-san, will you be able to provide me with some challenge?" Sakura purred and then Kyuubi started to run around, destroying buildings and trying to get her off of his head. "Ohh, so the kitty's going to use his tails. I'll use my fangs!" Sakura then used her claws to hold onto his neck and she bit into his neck.
Kyuubi threw his head up and used his tails to try to get her off of him. She used one hand to block them all.
"What the-she's drinking Kyuubi's blood?" Gamabunta asked and no one could move, not one ninja. The sound of draining blood was all that was heard, along with Kyuubi's screams of pain.
Sakura unlatched her fangs from Kyuubi's neck and she purred, "Very good, Kyuubi-san. I've always loved demon blood" Sakura then chuckled darkly and she put her feet on Kyuubi's neck. "Now, Minato! Use the seal now!!" Sakura commanded and then she brought her claws out of Kyuubi's neck and she pushed off, making him fall down. She then jumped down and tied him down with a lot of rope.
She jumped up onto Gamabunta's head and he snarled at her. She stood beside Minato as he did the correct seals. Then, Sakura's keen demon eyes caught sight of the Shinigami. "And you humans are so scared of that." Sakura scoffed and then she turned to the Shinigami who was sucking up Kyuubi's soul. "Aww, it looks like the Kitty's going bye-bye. I'll have to schedule another play-date" Sakura purred to herself and Minato's eye brow twitched. He wasn't exactly fond of her as he used to be.
Minato then put his hand on Naruto's stomach and a seal bubbled onto the child's stomach. "Minato, your going to die after this is done, you know that, right?" Sakura questioned Minato softly as she held onto his shoulder's and pouring some chakra into him to keep him from dying in the middle of the sealing. "I'm giving you some of my chakra, it'll give you five minutes to live until you die from chakra lose. After that, then you will be inside of the Shinigami's belly. I hope you understand this?" Sakura told Minato and she kept pouring chakra into him. The sweat that had started to form on his forehead went away and he felt rejuvenated. "Thank you, Sakura-chan." Minato said softly and then he finished the seal, the Kyuubi fully sealed into the child's belly.
"Minato-kun!" the voice of Kushina yelled and Minato smiled to her and she jumped onto Gamabunta's back as well. She ran to Minato and hugged him while crying. "Y-Your going to die, aren't you!?" Kushina yelled in his chest and he sighed sadly and held onto Naruto. The three of them looked peaceful. "Minato, do what you need to do, the chakra that I put in your body is almost gone. You have three minutes" Sakura then walked away and into the darkness, going to the Hokage's monument.
"M-Minato-kun, what did she mean?" Kushina asked worriedly and Minato sighed and he patted the back of Kushina's head and kissed her quickly. "She gave me some of her own chakra so I could stay alive for five minutes." Minato said and then he turned to Jiraya, who was on the ground beside Gamabunta. "I want Naruto to be treated like a hero, not a demon. Please, watch over him, Jiraya." Minato pleaded and Jiraya looked up and grinned. "I'll tell Sakura-chan for you, I can't be here very long, you know? I have….research to do" Jiraya grinned and he giggled. Minato sighed annoyed and then he gave Naruto to Kushina. "Kushina-chan.." he said and then he kissed her once again. "Please, take care." Then he looked down to the naked baby in their arms. "You to, Naruto-chan. Be careful." Then he kissed Naruto's forehead and he fell backwards, Naruto going into Kushina's hands.
"Oops, I lied, it was only four minutes that he would live" Sakura mumbled to herself while she was trying to get the people out of the monument.
Sakura smirked when she heard Kushina sob, but she ushered the whole Uchiha clan to go back to the district. She stopped and told them to go on when she felt Jiraya's chakra close by.
"What do you need, Jiraya-san?" Sakura asked and she turned and looked back at him. She had her Sharingan turned off and her claws were nails again and her fangs had gone almost completely in. I guess I never said it. Her fangs are like dog fangs, they are still slightly long but not that much. "Uchiha-sama, Minato-sama told me to tell you that you are to watch over the boy, Naruto. He also said that he wants Naruto to be treated like a hero, not a demon" Sakura closed her eyes and she sighed. "His last wish is going to be denied. Have you seen the way that people look at me? Even though I helped to create this village, people still hate me. I'm sure they would try to kill me, if it wasn't for the fact that I could destroy this village easily." Sakura opened her eyes and she looked into Jiraya's shocked ones. "Naruto has a demon sealed in him, he's going to be treated the same way, but he'll have to be watched. The villagers will kill him, every single chance they get. I'll watch over him, and if needed, then I'll protect him." Sakura said and then she turned back around and said, "Good night, Jiraya-san. I will be sure to gather people to help with the construction of the village." Sakura then walked into the darkness of the Uchiha District, leaving Jiraya's eyes to darken before he, to, disappeared.
A year later, Sasuke and Naruto were wobbling while they walked. Sasuke and Naruto loved to be around Sakura. In fact, Sasuke's first word was "Onee-chan" for Sakura. The Uchiha's had been surprised and Sakura had smiled and kissed his forehead and picked him up. Naruto's first word, since Sakura stays there in the dirty old apartment, was "Kaa-san" to Sakura, to. Sakura had been completely caught off-guard and had fallen off of the bed that she had been laying on.
Naruto crawled onto her lap and he burped before he started to gurgle, drool coming out of his mouth. He had been on the bed that Sakura had been and he crawled onto her lap and he was laying on her stomach over her knees. Sakura looked outside to see that it was around 10 AM. She grabbed onto Naruto under his under arms and she picked him up before she stood up.
She took him over to the sink and she gave him a quick bath-which she got absolutely soaked from- and then she went and changed herself and Naruto. "Now then, we are going to go out shopping. You be a good boy, ok?" Sakura cooed to Naruto who grinned and clapped. Sakura smiled and she walked to the door. She got on a jacket and she cradled Naruto in her arms. She walked out of the house(after getting the house keys and other things and locking the door) and she walked into town.
"Hey, what's she doing with that monster? Why doesn't she just kill it?" a woman said as she held her daughter closer to her. Sakura sighed and she turned to the woman and got in her face. "Tell me that in my face, mortal. I dare you, see what will happen. Try to talk about me behind my back, and I'll slit your throat without a second-fucking-thought." Sakura hissed to the woman and the people who were surrounding them ran away. The woman stood there shaking in fear with her child looking at Naruto with a confused look.
"Well, we must go shopping, let's get back to what we were doing, Naruto-chan." Sakura cooed to Naruto who looked up at her with a grin. He nodded and he said, "Hai, Kaa-san!" in a babyish voice. It slightly slurred and ran together, but Sakura understood it perfectly. "That's my good boy" Sakura smiled down at the boy and then she walked away from the frightened mother.
When she got to the grocery store, she met Mikoto and Sasuke. Sasuke looked up at her and yelled, "Onee-chan!!" while reaching for her. Mikoto hadn't noticed her until then. Sakura smiled at him and she waved at him. She held Naruto on her left shoulder and he turned his little back around slightly to look at Mikoto and Sasuke with blinking eyes. "Hello Sasuke-chan. How are you today?" Sakura cooed to Sasuke and Mikoto giggled and she gave Sasuke to Sakura. She was about to take Naruto from her, but Naruto shook his head no and cuddled into Sakura's neck. "I'm sorry, Mikoto-chan. He's not used to having someone else hold him. You know, after what happened." Sakura said and then she told Naruto to stop hiding. He slowly went out of hiding and looked at Sasuke. The two of them blinked at each other before the grabbed onto Sakura's neck and yelled, "Mine!".
Sakura sighed and she stopped her breathing and said, "Boys, your going to have to let go of me." Sakura cooed, not even slightly winded, which Mikoto gaped at and got jealous at. Sakura grinned slightly when the two boys let go of her neck and said their sorry's. "Oh, how is Itachi-chan doing? I haven't got to see him in a while. How is Fugaku treating him, by the way?" Sakura asked and Mikoto sighed. "He's doing…good? Fugaku's just fine on him, except for telling him that emotions are bad and should not be used" Sakura sighed and she said, "Well, that's how the Uchiha's have thought about it for years and years. He's five, Mikoto-chan, he'll be fine. That's when I became the age of showing as a vampire, just be glad that you had his Uchiha vampire blood sealed. They had to restrain me, otherwise I would've slaughtered the Uchiha clan." Sakura said naturally and Mikoto gaped and said, "S-Seriously?" she asked, like a little girl who loved the current story and was eager to know more.
"Hai, Mikoto-chan, I was the stronger known person for years on in. No one knew I was a vampire…until I turned into a demon" Sakura smirked when Mikoto's eyes widened. "Come, I'll tell you what happened, let's go and sit down." Mikoto nodded excitedly and she took Sasuke from her and Sakura smiled slightly and then the two women went and sat down on the benches that was on the side of the store. The store was slightly large, and carried weapons, clothing, and medical things. This is the store that almost everyone goes to, even citizens.
"Anyway, a vampire has what we call, a "demon mode". When a vampire has gone into this mode, you should run, all of you. Our eyes glow a blood red, our nails become longer claws, and our fangs..well, all of our teeth sharpen and harden, making us being able to shred anything and anyone we sink our teeth into. I used this form with the Kyuubi battle. That's why I was able to bite beyond his demon chakra and his skin. He had a lot of fur, which I didn't like, but his blood and chakra is what I was after. I put a tranquilizer poison in his system, which is why he was so tired after I got through with him. He had a lot more blood then I could handle, I would have to bring all of the vampires that I killed back to life and have all of us feed off of him, but that still wouldn't be enough…" Sakura shook her head and then she snapped out of it and said, "Well, since he is inside Naruto, he is still unconscious. I put enough to knock him out until Naruto's around 13 years old. I'm going to stay here and be with him until then. I'll have to go on every mission with him and his team, making sure that Kyuubi doesn't awaken, I'll even have to stay in his apartment like we are now. But I've been thinking, I might get us a house in the Uchiha district, would that be fine, Mikoto-chan?" Sakura looked at Mikoto who thought about it.
"I'm sure that Fugaku-kun would have a little problem with the Kyuubi being sealed into Naruto-chan and everything, but other then that, I'm sure that he wouldn't mind. It is your district anyway, isn't it?" Mikoto asked and Sakura giggled and said, "Yes, but I am not the current clan leader. I do not control the Uchiha grounds. Have you ever wondered why the Uchiha's are huddled up in the corner of Konoha? The farthest corner, none-the-less." Sakura asked and she started to bounce Naruto who was laying across her lap. He was giggling and gurgling, but Mikoto and Sakura were giggling. Mikoto giggled once more and then she laid Sasuke down across her lap and began to bounce him lightly. "Sure. I have wondered that once or twice." Mikoto said thoughtful and Sakura's lips went into a grim line. "If I get angry, please excuse me." Sakura said and then she put her head down in slight shame, but otherwise to look down at Naruto who was grinning while he was making sounds, making it sound like he was being pushed up and down, which is exactly what's happening.
"The Senju clan took over Konoha and mended it to their liking, making sure that only Senju's could rule. My brother and I became infuriated, and tried to take back what was rightfully ours. My brother was one of the kindest and sweetest men that you could have ever met. Every girl he had talked to had fallen in love with him. He had almost all the village women at his feet, begging to be his bride. I would have to kick them out of the house. But anyway, the Senju saw this and moved us away from Konoha. They said that it was for our own safety. Back then, the clan was weak and naïve. Now, the clan is stronger, but still weak in it's own scent. The children are not growing like they should, and the adults are strong, but not strong enough to protect the entire clan, sorry if that was insulting" Sakura looked up at Mikoto to see that she was in thought while Sasuke looked up with a pacifier in his mouth.
Sakura cooed to Sasuke and he looked at her with a smile. Naruto then looked up at Sakura with his own orange pacifier in his mouth. Sasuke's was navy blue. Naruto gurgled slightly and Sakura giggled and looked down at him with soft eyes. "The clan is still naïve like back then, but they are becoming stronger in their own scents. If there is any trouble in the clan, just call my name to the wind, and I'll be by your side as soon as possible." Sakura then turned and look at Mikoto with soft eyes. "You know, I kindof think of you as my own daughter" Sakura said and Mikoto looked up at Sakura and grinned. Mikoto scooted closer to Sakura and she hugged her. "And I think of you as a mother, Sakura-chan. I am so glad that you are alive today. Your brother sounds like the ideal man for any woman anymore" Mikoto sighed softly and then she went back to playing with her son. "Do you want me to tell you about my brothers?" Sakura asked her softly and Mikoto shot her head up to look at her eagerly. "Yes, please!" Mikoto said and she hugged Sasuke lightly in excitement.
"Alright. My older brother was named Uchiha Madara. He is legendary in these lands. My younger brother was named Uchiha Izuna. He was adorable. He was the baby brother and he loved Madara-chan and I dearly. Sadly, someone had come behind Madara and had stabbed Madara in the eyes. I had been on a mission, so when I got back, I was infuriated and went and hunted down those who hurt my Aniki. I killed them in cold blood, and told the Senju's to never come near my brothers again, or there would be hell to pay. Just thinking about it makes me infuriated." Sakura shivered with excitement and then she calmed down.
"Izuna was so worried about him. He gave Madara-chan his own eyes in order for Madara-chan to keep fighting. The council…they killed Izuna, seeing as Izuna could no longer see. Madara got the eternal Mangenkyou, but it went to waste when he passed away. I'm getting ahead of myself!
Izuna was killed by the council because he couldn't see and wouldn't be any use to us in the war. I was forced to help, as well. I could have killed the council, but then who would take their place? Certainly not I, I would have destroyed the whole clan and no one of the current Uchiha's would be alive.
Anyway, Madara was the next. After him and I left Konoha, he came back to where it's now called "Valley of the End". Hashirama had battled with my brother and they kept it going for a few hours. Finally, my brother made one tiny mistake, he lost his step. Hashirama used that to his advantage and used the time he had, no mercy. He killed my brother with one hit, he stabbed him very near the heart, and in fact, nicked his heart. I had been watching to watch out for my brother-without him knowing-and I ran forward when Madara-chan went down" Sakura looked down and she closed her eyes, to hide the sadness from others. "He fell right into my arms. Before he died, he said, "Why did you come for me, Imotou-chan? I told you to stay back!" and then he just….died. I was so angry at myself that I had been weak, but I had only been around 17 at that time, naïve, weak, and non-caring about the clan. I stood up and walked over to Hashirama. He looked at me blankly and I told him that he would die the most painful way possible by my hands. I held onto Madara-chan and then we disappeared. That's how the two of them died.
The Senju and Uchiha had formed a truce, and Madara-chan and I disagreed with it. After I went into hiding and my brother died, people started to see like I did back then. Now, almost the whole Uchiha clan sees it as I do." Sakura leaned back and she held Naruto to her. Mikoto slowed her bouncing and she looked at Sakura with saddened eyes.
"I…I'm so sorry, Sakura-chan. I didn't know that life back then was that hard." Sakura sighed and she said, "Did you think it was easy? I had fought in the war since I was five. I was forced to learn the arts of the ninja at age five, and once I graduated the Academy, they sent me out to fight. Back then, I couldn't control myself and slaughtered a bunch of them. I didn't have a demon form back then" Sakura then snapped out of it and she looked to Mikoto with a soft smile. "Well, shall we be leaving? I have all of my things" Mikoto agreed and the two of them hugged and Sakura kissed Mikoto on the cheek before the two of them split-way.
--
Sasuke was, now, five and Itachi was ten. Itachi has had his Sharingan for one year. At first, it was Fugaku who was training him, but that proved to be pointless because Fugaku didn't exactly have all the time in the world for Itachi. So, Sakura took things into her own hands…
--Flashback--
Itachi had just graduated from the Academy, meaning that he was seven. Sakura was sitting with Itachi beside her on her left and Fugaku in front of her, all three emotionless. Well, Itachi was confused, and it showed in his eyes, other then that, he was practicly emotionless.
"Fugaku-san, I think that you should allow me to train Itachi-chan, here. You seem to be too busy to train with him some times, and he needs to train regularly, or his training sessions will be pointless" Sakura said bluntly and Fugaku looked taken by for a moment before he cleared his throat. "And you would be able to do better?" Fugaku asked, his right eye brow twitching at how Sakura was judging him on his training of his own son.
"I am not saying that, I am saying that the training you are currently doing is utterly pointless and that you are wasting your time-and Itachi-chan's time-if you keep at it like this. His muscles will grow with continuous training, and you are on-and-off. Your acting as a light switch for his training. You are running the bill up with the constant flickering of the light. The light either needs to be on…or off." Sakura said and Fugaku looked seriously taken back, and he didn't bother to hide it.
"What right do you have to judge how I train my son!?" Fugaku yelled at Sakura and she remained emotionless. "You must remember, Fugaku-san, I am merely protecting Itachi from your non-parenting. I am just acting like another mother for Itachi-chan, seeing as you are not taking the part as the second parent" Sakura then hissed, "Maybe you should start acting like it, and I wouldn't have to interfere with your business" Sakura calmed down and she glared at Fugaku, straight into his widened eyes. She had never hissed at him like that!
"I-I understand" Fugaku mumbled and he looked at Itachi. "Fine, Itachi, you are to train with Sakura-sama for now on" Fugaku said and Sakura smirked while Itachi's eyes widened. "That's a good boy, Fugaku-san." Sakura said and Fugaku sneered at her, completely furious at how she is manipulating him! Sakura looked at Itachi with slightly angry eyes, which completely scared Itachi. "Itachi-chan, can you leave us be for a few moments? Why don't you go out and train with some kunai and Shurikan and maybe even do some of your exercises" Sakura said with a smile, but her eyes betrayed her. Her eyes showed that she was utterly furious. Itachi nodded, slightly scared, and he stood up. Scared as he was, he practicly flew out of the room. Sakura had watched him out of the corner of her eye. When she heard the door shut and his foot steps go out back, she turned back to Fugaku and he jumped at the anger in her eyes.
"Why, why do you treat Itachi-chan so horribly!?" Sakura asked Fugaku, sounding more desperate then she wanted. "I do no such thi-" Fugaku was slammed against the wall by Sakura. "Don't you dare lie to me, Fugaku! I don't care if he is the Uchiha Prodigy! He is simply a mother fucking child! He doesn't need so much fucking stress on him at this time, wait for all the stress until he is at least a little bit older. Maybe about ten, but definitely not seven! For heaven sakes, I'm very surprised that you have not been slapped to death by Mikoto!" Sakura hissed to Fugaku who looked at her with fearful eyes. "And there is no, fucking, need to be fearing me. I thought you were the fucking clan leader! Grow some teeth!" Sakura said and she let Fugaku off of the wall and she backed up slightly, but not enough for him to get out of the room. He seriously wanted to get out of there, but with Sakura standing about a foot in front of him, well, it was impossible.
"I am the clan leader, and I am Itachi's father!! Don't you dare insult me by telling me how to raise my son!" Fugaku momentarily forgot who Sakura truly was and tried to slap her. Well, he did slap her, but Sakura wasn't hurt. "I will allow that one to slip, seeing as you are blinded by rage, but I won't let you get away with killing a child. You are killing Itachi from the inside out. He is only seven, and yet, you are trying to force him to be god. I know that people are born weak and have to grow up to be strong, and I am glad that he is trying his best to please his father, but he will soon find that it is impossible to please a power-lusting bastard." Sakura said calmly again and Fugaku just stared at her with hardened eyes.
"I am not a power-lusting bastard, Sakura." Fugaku growled without the suffix and Sakura chuckled. "In your opinion, you would consider yourself a god. I understand and I am very pleased that you are following in my brothers footsteps" Sakura looked at him with hardened eyes while his hardened with only one thing-the surprise of her knowing what he was doing. "But you are not my brother. My brother died many many years ago. Now it's just me who is wishing for the same thing that my brother is, but I will not do it, unless it is the last option. I am not power-lusting, and I do not look for revenge. One day, Fugaku, one day, your personality for lusting for power will come back, and kill you. You'll see." Sakura said and then she walked out of the room. But before she exited to leave the very very very scared clan leader, she said something that will keep him frightened of her for the rest of his lone, miserable life. "And I will be there to watch, watch as you fall to the ground, non-breathing and bleeding." Then, she shut the door and walked away.
Fugaku fell to the floor on his knees like he had been hit with a ton of bricks. "S-She knew. S-She knew. She knew!! No, how does she know!!" Fugaku was struggling with himself when Mikoto came into check on him. He was still on the ground, furious and still scared for his life. When Mikoto put a hand on his shoulder, he jumped. "Fugaku-kun, what happened?" Mikoto asked as she helped him to stand up. He stood up on jello-legs as he told her, "Sakura knows, she knows everything. She knows what I am planning, and she knows who I am following. But, she is after the same thing, but she just can't see it" Fugaku said and Mikoto's eyes widened.
Fugaku's eyes widened slightly when he heard, "You truly are a foolish man, I already know that I am after the same thing, I just told you that. But remember my wise words" Fugaku grasped his head and yelled, "Get out of my head!!" Mikoto put a hand on his shoulder and he knocked her hand off of his shoulder.
"Kaaaa-saaaaannn!!!!" A two-year old Uchiha Sasuke yelled from his crib upstairs. Mikoto kissed her husband on the cheek before she rushed to help Sasuke with whatever it was that he needed, and leaving her frightened and shock-ridden husband on his knees in the corner room of the whole large two-story house.
--End Flashback--
So now, Itachi could be completely emotionless whenever he wanted to, and he can already defeat a Chunin, and he can almost defeat a Jounin. Sakura's not surprised, but his parents are, when they learned that Itachi beat the shit out of a Chunin when he had tried to make a move on Sakura. Sakura is truly not surprised; it's only in his blood.
"Fugaku-kun! He's done it again! B-but, it was a Jounin this time!!" Mikoto yelled and Fugaku's eyes widened when she said it was a Jounin. Sakura was just telling Fugaku of all of Itachi's achievements and how much stronger he is.
Sakura looked to Fugaku to see that he was staring at her with calculating eyes. "How did he become so much stronger in a short amount of time?" Fugaku asked Sakura and she just smirked and chuckled. "Why must you act so surprised?" Sakura asked and he looked at her with slightly widened eyes. "I'll explain something to you, Fugaku." Sakura said and she closed her eyes and crossed her hands across her chest.
"About more then 80 years ago, I was the only vampire in the whole world, and I made sure of it, to. Any new vampire that was born into the clan, I slaughtered in cold blood. No one knows if the child is a vampire, not until their fifth birthday. But I can smell it, and I wanted to make sure that everyone knew that I was slaughtering my own kind, not the human's.
Don't get me wrong, though, I hated humans. The only human's I could even stand were Madara-chan and Izuna-chan. Izuna-chan and Madara-chan kept me sane, they were the only ones who could help me to stop when I was hungry; they stopped me from killing the whole clan; they even kept me from going haywire and destroying the whole Senju clan.
Apparently, while I was enjoying have Hashirama in my Mangenkyou, someone came up to me, and stabbed me, making sure to draw blood. They put some of my blood in a vile, and went and tested it. They couldn't understand why it was so much different from theirs, so they made some of their own clansmen drink the chemical that they had found in my blood.
They thought they would be able to destroy me with a copy vampire, and it disgusted me. That's why I almost destroyed the whole Senju population. And trust me, I could've. But I was wanting Madara-chan and Izuna-chan to train and to get stronger and stronger.
And because of that want, the three of us became the three vampire assassins. And no, the two of them were not vampires, they were human, but we had to come up with something that sounded fearful. Different clans would hire Senju, and we would be hired by the opposing clansmen." Sakura said and Fugaku looked at her slightly wide eyed. "Anyway, later on, more and more vampires were being born, and I was getting worried. This was five years after the war. I told every single Uchiha female parent to get their child's vampire blood sealed. The father never knew, but the mother knew. The men were glad that they didn't have "Blood Sucking Monster Children", as they called me. I started to be hated because I disagreed with the Senju. Izuna-chan was killed by a head clansmen because he had given Madara-chan his own Sharingan, rendering him useless in the war. Madara-chan and I hated the Senju with our whole beings.
We wanted to gather up all of the Uchiha men, women, and children and take over Konoha as our own. Sadly, Hashirama defeated my brother, and I escaped, in fear that he would try to suck my blood; which would make him a vampire as well, seeing as, Erm, I had drank some of his blood before. He would have been my servent, though, but his will was stronger then his soul, which would have been destroyed. So, I went into hiding. I watched over the Uchiha clan from where ever I was, and I realized something." Sakura's eyes darkened profoundly and Fugaku was confused.
"Every single Uchiha child is a Pure-Blooded Vampire. You, even, are a pure-blood. You are from my Great Great Great Great Aunt, who is also a vampire." Sakura sighed annoyed, "And yet, Mikoto is the one to get Itachi and Sasuke's vampire blood sealed…I'm glad for that. They do not deserve such a horrible life." Sakura said and Fugaku's eyes widened.
"Well, then, what would you do, if I ordered you to awaken my sons vampire blood?" Fugaku asked slyly and Sakura smirked. "I would decline. And the reason why, is, Fugaku, there is a price to pay for Immortality. Your heart stops beating, you never have to breathe again, you never get tired, your skin becomes like steel, you can survive in shock decapitated, and so much more. All of this, for the price of one thing…you lose yourself. You have to give into the blood thirst every once in a while, otherwise, your vampire blood will wither away and you will become a human again.
But, the reason why I am not turning Itachi and Sasuke into vampires, is because, they are going to tell me to first. And even then, I wouldn't do it without Mikoto's word. I know that you want them changed, but you can just get over it. I am not going to change them, just for them to become your little play toys. You've already got Itachi to play with, you don't need Sasuke as well, leave the boy alone. You've already made Itachi's life a living hell whenever he is here, let Sasuke have a good life. Stay away from Sasuke, you got that, Fugaku?" Sakura asked and Fugaku's eyes darkened, but he agreed. "Good." Sakura said simply and then she stood up and made to the door.
"Onee-chan!!" Sasuke yelled as he chased after her down the stairs. He had been upstairs in his room and was about to go out and ask Sakura or Itachi to help him train. Sakura stopped and she turned to him with a smile. "Yes, Sasuke-chan?" Sakura asked said boy and he blushed lightly but ignored it, "Would you and Nee-san help me with my Shurikan throwing? Iruka-sensei is wanting us to learn quickly, we have exams in a week!" Sasuke said hurriedly and Sakura giggled. "Sure, Sasuke-chan, but you'll have to wait until I get finished training Itachi-chan. But your welcome to watch and wait for us." Sakura said and she bent down. Sasuke ran up to her and he hugged her around the neck. She then stood up and put him on her hip.
"Ok, Onee-chan! I wanna see how Nee-san's doing being a ninja!" Sasuke said and Sakura giggled. "Well take it from me, he is doing very well." Sakura smiled up at him before she started to walk to the training grounds.
When she got there, Itachi was throwing kunai at targets as well as Shurikens. Sakura told Sasuke to go over and sit on the side lines while she walked over to Itachi. When she got over to Itachi, she looked at the targets.
She smiled gleefully and she said, "Very nice, Itachi-chan. You are becoming an excellent aimer. Your almost hitting the mark, though. It's just a little higher and you'll have it." Sakura said with soft eyes and a smile and Itachi slightly smiled back and he tried it again, only higher.
After he threw 100 kunai and Shurikens in different targets, Sakura went over each and every single on of them. "Very good, Itachi-chan. You got almost every single one of them" Sakura noticed Itachi's lips go into a straight line, meaning that he was thinking and was slightly ashamed. "Don't be so ashamed that you missed three, Itachi-chan, it doesn't matter. If these were real people, every single one of them would by lying on the ground, dead." Sakura said and Itachi, unnoticed by Sasuke, shivered and nodded. "You see, I've had almost one hundred years to work on my aim, but I can still not hit every single one of the targets. Here, let me demonstrate." Sakura said and then she pulled out one Kunai and one Shuriken, one in each hand.
"But, that's only two, you need 98 more." Sasuke yelled to Sakura and she chuckled. "Here's your first ninja lesson, Sasuke-chan." Sakura's eyes then started to bleed into the Sharingan. "Looks, can be deceiving." Sakura said and then she moved her thumb up her index finger and the one kunai and shuriken, turned into ten kunai and shuriken.
"Aa, this is my favorite technique." Sakura said and then she threw the twenty weapons. They all hit their targets, and Sakura did this four more times.
"Clang" Sakura's eyes widened slightly and she turned around to the sound. She walked forward and she stayed still for a moment. Her eyes swept over the whole training ground and she counted 101 kunai/shuriken. "Who else is here?" Sakura asked and she heard a giggle. "Hey, Sakura-chan." Kichou came out from behind the tree and Sakura let out a sigh. "I really hate not being able to sense you. Oh well." Sakura shrugged and before any of them blinked(well, except for Kichou), Sakura had picked up all of the weapons and was putting the five kunais and the five shuriken away, back into her kunai pouch.
"Ok, anyway" Sakura said and Kichou disappeared, seeing they were training. Sakura looked back to Itachi. "Have you already done your exercises?" Sakura asked Itachi and he shook his head 'no'. Sakura smiled at him. "Well then, let's get cracking, Itachi-chan. I haven't done mine for today, either. I'll exercise with you" Sakura said with a smile and then the two of them sat down. "Which one first, Sakura-chan?" Itachi asked Sakura, and said girl smirked and she laid down and put her hand behind her head. "You are to do one hundred sit-ups." Sakura ordered and Itachi looked at her with a raised eye brow as he laid down and got in the same position. "How many are you doing?" Itachi asked and Sakura smirked evilly-something that Itachi did not find comforting.
"Hmm.." Sakura started to do sit-ups and Itachi followed suit. "I am doing about…one thousand, now." Sakura shrugged and Itachi froze mid-sit-up and looked at her shocked. She stopped on the ground and she smirked. "Hey, I've had almost one hundred years to train." Sakura then mumbled, "Aniki does eleven hundred" Itachi looked at her even more wide eyed. "He's a train-aholic sometimes." Sakura mumbled and Itachi 'aa'ed before the two of them finished with their training. Madara was nagging her about how he is not a train-aholic!
After Itachi was done training, Sakura asked Itachi to stay and help her train Sasuke, seeing as she has to be very very easy with him.
"Come on, Sasuke-chan, all you have to do is hit the target" Sakura said behind Sasuke who grunted annoyed when the kunai soared passed the aimed-for target and smacked into a tree before it fell to the ground like a puppy without strings. Sakura giggled and she crouched down behind him. She put her right hand on his because it had the kunai. "I'll show you." She said and she flicked his wrist. The kunai hit dead center. "You have to flick your wrist, not your elbow or your whole arm. Where did you learn that from?" Sakura asked and Itachi chuckled before he answered for Sasuke, "Tou-san." Sakura sighed annoyed and she stood up. "That man…" Sakura mumbled and she watched as Sasuke finally hit the target.
'Finally' Sakura thought with a roll of her eyes and she gave Sasuke five more kunai. "Now I want you to try it on your own. Just flick your wrist, not your whole arm" Sakura said and Sasuke nodded and he held a kunai in his right hand. He flicked his wrist and the kunai hit the target, but not any where near the bulls eye. Sasuke sulked and Sakura put a hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry, it takes practice to be a excellent aimer. You just have to remember something, no one is perfect." Sakura said and she took a kunai from his hand and threw it at the target behind her.
"Whoa" Sasuke mumbled when he looked at the target. Sakura never uses chakra in her kunai, so that's good. Because it would be near impossible to get the kunai out of the tree, now. The kunai had pierced straight through the middle of the target. "After years and years of practice, you'll become good enough to be considered a master of aiming. I am considered a master at aiming, but that is because I've almost had one hundred years of practice. Yet, I cannot hit two hundred targets in a row, in the dead center. I can hit one hundred in the dead center, but I can't hit two hundred" Sakura said and then snapped her right hand fingers and the kunai was in her hand again.
"Whoa, how do you do that, Onee-chan?" Sasuke asked, with sparkles of excitement in his eyes. "To do that, is for another time, Sasuke-chan. This is a really really hard technique that my brother and I found when we were teenagers." Sakura said with soft eyes when Sasuke pouted. "Don't worry about it though. You'll be able to learn it in time." Sakura said and then they continued the lesson before it was Sasuke's turn.

The night of the Uchiha Massacre had been a great one(in Sakura's POV). Sakura walked up to Itachi and she said, "I'm going to stay here in Konoha for a few more years. But, I'll take you to the base. I, at least, know where it is." Itachi nodded and he said his good-byes. "Meet me at the Valley of the End whenever your done." Sakura then waved and she disappeared in a mix of ravens and red cherry blossoms. The ravens looked at Itachi with red Sharingan eyes. Itachi shivered lightly at that and the ravens seemed to laugh at him before they slowly started to disappear.
--
After the massacre, Itachi ran to the Valley of the End. "Come on, Itachi-chan. Naruto-chan isn't very used to staying by himself. I need you to travel as fast as you can." Sakura instructed and Itachi nodded before the two of them darted off. Sakura was a hell-of-a lot faster then Itachi, but she kept up with him.

When they got to rain, Sakura put her hand into the rain and Itachi looked at her confused. Then, there was a poof and the two of them were inside of an office. Sakura looked into the Rinnegan eyes with softer eyes. The Rinnegan eyes were hard, but then again soft as well. The Rinnegan eyes then moved over to Itachi and he observed him.
"Itachi-san, Sakura-chan has told me a lot about you. Come forward, boy." Pein said blankly and Sakura rolled her eyes at the shadow thing. She could see Pein smirk lightly and she smirked evilly when she saw the small fang. So, he also changed his bodies? Very nice touch. Sakura thought with a smirk and Madara gaped "W-What? Nagato changed his bodies? What do they look like now?" Madara asked eagerly and Sakura rolled her eye before she said the body of Yahiko has small fangs that only show whenever he smiles or smirks. Now shush, I'm trying to listen.
"Here is your cloak" Pein said and he handed a Akatsuki cloak to Itachi. Itachi looked at it calculating before he put it on. "See, I told you I could get it to fit, Baka-kun." Sakura said with a smirk and Pein chuckled and said, "Baka-chan here will give you your ring and will tell you what finger to put it on." Pein said with a smirk and Sakura pouted lightly. "Oh, so use my insult again me, will ya'? Geez. Anyway, come here Itachi-chan." Sakura then closed her hand into a fist and they could hear something clinging and they could feel her chakra swirling around her.
When Sakura opened her fist, there was a clean and good looking Akatsuki Ring. "The kanji means Shu, or Scarlett. It is to go on your right Ring finger. Do not take this off under any circumstances. And yes, the ring is water-proof and will not rust" Sakura said and she handed the ring to Itachi. He looked at it with his Sharingan and Sakura chuckled and said, "You don't have to worry about any poisons or anything. I leave the poisons to Sasori-san." Sakura smirked and then she snapped out of it and said, "I must be leaving as soon as possible. I have to go and watch over Sasuke-chan and Naruto-chan now." Sakura then groaned and she mumbled. "Naruto-chan was already hard enough" and then Sakura began to slowly disappear into red and black cherry blossoms while Itachi put on the ring. "See ya, Pein-kun." Sakura said with a dark chuckle at the end. Pein sighed and he leaned back in his seat. "Well, go and meet the other members. But beware of Orochimaru, he has been looking for someone powerful enough. He uses other peoples bodies. So be very careful around him." Pein instructed and then he said, "Oh yeah, you will call me Leader-sama. Sakura-chan is probably the only one who does not call me with the suffix -sama. You may leave" Pein said and Itachi bowed slightly and he walked out of the room.

Four years later, Sasuke and Naruto got on the same team. Sakura was really glad about that.
At the moment, she is talking with their team. She was ordered to help protect the team and to watch over Naruto's Kyuubi.
"Ok you guys, your going to go on your first C-Ranked mission. I'll be coming along, but I'll only help if Kakashi is unable to protect you three. Now come, let's go and meet Tazuna-san." Sakura instructed and the three children nodded and followed as she walked on. "Hey Baa-san, can you move any slower!?" Ino barked to Sakura who looked over her shoulder and said, "Yeah, this is an after shadow". The Sakura that was in front of them disappeared and Ino felt a kunai on her neck. "You know, you shouldn't be calling your elders by such names. I might be almost one hundred years old, but it doesn't mean that I am weak, girl. I already don't like you, don't make me hate you even more." Sakura then disappeared and re-appeared in front of them. "Come on." Sakura said annoyed and the four of them walked on in silence.
--
After the mission was completed, the team went back to Konoha after fair wells to Tazuna and the others.

A/N Hey, I'm sorry that I didn't explain the mission, but I really wanted to get to after the Chunin Exams.
Yes, I know, I rush, A LOT, but I really can't help it. I'm really trying to STOP doing that, so I might redue this chapter one day, but probably not. I mean, everyone practically has it MEMORIZED what happens on the mission, right? I mean, geez. Ok, anyway, I hope that you all can forgive me for uploading this so late, and I'm seriously happy with the great reviews! Keep it up, people, it makes me smile!!
