Chapter Fourteen

"Suuuure" Tobi drawled out and Sasuke laughed and dragged the little boy off to go to the academy. Sakura sighed to herself and decided to nap again but before she had drifted into sleep, a carrier pigeon had tapped into her window, she let the bird in and it spit out katsuyu.

"Katsuyu!" She cheered as she picked up the little slug into her hands. "What are you doing here? Did Tsunade-shishou ask you to go here?" Sakura rambled as she watched the little slug.

"I've got a letter for you Sakura-sama, I went here as a favor to Tsunade-hime she wanted an assurance that you were okay. We received a letter that you were in an accident and you almost died. Are you okay now Sakura-sama?" Katsuyu's receptors moved back and forth as she crawled around Sakura's palm.

"I'm okay, I fell off a cliff and almost drowned" Sakura chuckled. "I had a moment of stupidity and weakness, I had no more chakra due to training and boom"

"Oh, I'm glad you're alright Sakura-sama, I have to go now." Katsuyu poofed into a scroll which she opened. It was a letter from those who knew, those who mattered and those who loved and cared about her. She read the letter and what she read brought her to tears, it made her even more homesick. The sobbed into the letter her friends wrote for her. She was so distracted she had not felt the entry of Sasuke into her room, he decided to not bother her and just sit there until she notices him.

She looked up from the letter to see Sasuke watching her. He looked nonchalant and emotionless just like usual. She hurriedly wipe off the tears on her face and rubbed her eyes but a pale hand stopped her from rubbing her eyes.

"Don't, you'll scratch your eyes" Sasuke scolded her.

"Hello Sasuke-san" She greeted bowing her head slightly. Sasuke nodded to acknowledge her greeting and moved his chair closer to her bed.

"We need to talk"

"Alright Let us talk then" Sakura gaped but immediately shook of the shock.

"Could I tell you a story first?" Sasuke asked the rosette girl to which she nodded at. "A few years ago, Otogakure was in the middle of a war a lot of people have died and left children orphaned and partners widowed" Sasuke started and Sakura urged him to continue.

"There was a couple that was quite popular in the village, they called them 'Sound Village's Starcrossed Lovers' for they were perfect for each other. They were both from prominent clans and they made a match that was incomparable. Everyone knew their love for each other, they never failed to show each other how much they loved each other for they knew the life of a ninja was unexpected." Sasuke took a pause and sighed.

"She was the leader of the Nadeshiko village, she had long inky locks that was always tied into a sleek ponytail and striking green eyes that captivated a lot of people while he on the other hand had the same inky hair that was in a complete disarray and onyx eyes that turned into frightening red when he was angry" He paused for breath and Sakura nodded to say she understood. She was quite shocked at what he was telling her.

"She was very quiet yet she had a warm heart, she had came here in Otogakure on a business to meet with the Uchiha clan to form an alliance with Otogakure, she had nothing to offer for her village was small, poor and filled with civilians so she offered herself. Father accepted her offer and married her into the family."

"The girl was unhappy but she made a brave face and went on with it, for the protection of her village and the safety of her people. She had been married to a cold Uchiha man and she managed to melt his heart and made him fall hard for her."

"A year into their marriage and she got pregnant. She gave birth to a beautiful son with instead of the Onyx Uchiha eyes the child had beautiful jade hues, She wanted to name him 'Tobi' because she said he looked like a 'Tobi'" Sasuke chuckled bitterly as he paused.

"The family wouldn't accept a name that wasn't fit for an Uchiha so they made a compromise, they named him 'Tobiwamaru' which meant 'to fly around' for he was such a hyper baby, he had gotten himself into holes the family did not know how he fit in" Sakura smiled at how he describe her son Tobi.

"After giving birth to Tobi, she heard the news of her villagers turning against her and destroying her village and she felt the need to do the noble thing and go back. The people had turned their backs against her thinking that she had left to get a better life and leave them all behind.. That's what it looked like to them. The people attacked her and she did not even dare defend herself, she died what she called a 'noble death'"

"The villagers had burned her body into ashes and threw it out, no one had anything left of her apart from her son who had her eyes. Her husband was very devastated and his heart started to freeze harder again. Her husband had tried to forget her by burning all of her things and the village she grew up in and he had changed forever"

"The girl's name is Shizuka, Shizuka Nadeshiko" Sakura nodded as she understood, he was so in love with the girl and she died doing the right thing.. The stupid right thing.

Author's Note: BTW, Shizuka is a real Naruto character. :D YEAH RESEARCH . Since you guys have been raping my inbox with 'Who's Tobi's mother?'. So here you go babies! Read, Review, Favorite and Follow. :)

REVIEWERS -

Piru - Awe, I'm glad you like it. (: Thanks for the review dear.

Meanna NeKo - Well, Sakura is kind, caring, patient and loving in Nature. Sasuke does not deserve her kidness but she gave it to him nonetheless. She never deserved to be hurt like how she have had and she should not let him of the hook easily or even at all but with forgiveness comes closure. I've seen it work out in a way I think it's supposed to growing up, I had been in Tobi's shoes but I've never watched them first hand. I would hear them though but I would be too afraid to look. I've always heard my mother cry and my father scream, they would throw things at each other and hurt each other. They pulled through for me and my sister, so yes. I've seen it work out. Ah crap, I look like a sappy piece of crap~ Look what you made me do. I understand your concerns but I know that after every storm comes with a rainbow, the storm may hurt you, scare you and make you feel like crap but the rainbow brings new hope and is a good payoff. THANKS FOR THE REVIEW DEAR! :D
