As Shinata laid in the bed that Shikamaru let her use, she could not get the memory out of her head when she met Sasuke Uchiha. He had haunted her dreams for years on the torment he caused for her personally. She closed her eyes and thought of that day that scarred her for life.
"Hey auntie Sakura, I'm glad you came over to play with me, all of my brothers and sisters are at grandpa's house trying to train in the gentle fist. They wouldn't let me come saying I have to learn the basics before I fight, but they let Kiyoshi practice and he's just seven. All of these guards won't even play with me, there are ten of them and none of them won't play ninja with me" said the five year old Shinata.
"Ten? I only count three" as Sakura smiled at her.
"There are two on the roof, three out in the backyard, two out in front porch and three in here as she smiled at her auntie.
Sakura was real impressed on how well she could detect the presence of the ANBU at such an early age, even the ninja who overheard were impressed by her. As Sakura grabbed the little girls hand she went to the back room and told Shinata that she would practice with her and play ninja with her also. As Shinata had fun playing with her, she heard an alarm and people screaming. Sakura ran to the window to see what was going on, she ran quickly and picked up Shinata and ran to another room and hid her and told stay put and to keep quiet. Sakura ran to the other room and there was explosion, Shinata heart raced with terror on being left alone. As she stood hidden the wait was killing her, she decided that she would run to find her grandpa who would protect her from harm. As she ran to the front of the house she saw bodies strewn throughout the mansion, fear took control of her body and she could barely move. As she approached she saw her aunt Sakura squaring off against a red eyed fiend that had a dead ANBU by the throat in the air as he looked at her aunt.
"Where are the children of Naruto and Hinata? They must die; their lives will interfere with my plans for the future. The Senju are the only ones that can stand against the Uchiha clan so they must be exterminated for my clan to reign over all, if you want to live give me the children and me and my ninjas will leave" as Sasuke approached Sakura.
"You can't be serious? I will never let you harm them; they are our future for the Konoha. Why Sasuke? Naruto was your friend, your part of this village why try to destroy us we are still your family and friends"?
"I have no friends, I have no family, only deceit from the Konoha which I intend to rectify the mistake the Konoha inflicted upon my clan and brother. I see that one child of Naruto is here, I'll start with her" as Sasuke moved toward the little girl.
Sakura looked and seen Shinata and rushed to stop his attack, Sakura grabbed Shinata and jumped to a higher ledge and dropped Shinata off and went back to attack Sasuke. As he looked at her he knew she had become stronger than he thought possible. Sasuke pulled out his sword and Sakura pulled out her two kunais, with blinding speed they both clashed their weapons upon each other. Shinata could barely keep up with their movements; Sasuke with his sharingan could see that her moves were precise and that he would have to go all out to kill her. Sakura use her superior strength to overpower Sasuke but his speed was intense, she dodged most of the sword slashes and thrust but she knew that she had to live if Shinata was to survive. Sasuke used his chidori with his bladed and cut Sakura's kunai and part of her face down by her eye to her chin. Sakura backed up but did not let out a scream at all; she got back into her stance and prepared to attack Sasuke once again.
"You have become strong Sakura, but this little exhibition is over you already lost and the child is dead. Face it Sakura save yourself and you will live to fight another day" as he gave a condescending glare at her.
"You never once really took the time to get to know me? You should know that I would die for my friends children, I would die for the safety of the village, the will of fire will burns for the next generation and I will not let you extinguish our legacy because of your hatred" as Sakura ignored the pain in her face.
Sasuke sprinted toward her and to his surprise she blocked and connected a punch to his head that almost decapitated him. Sakura continued to attack her former friend and lover to save Shinata, Sakura nearly pierced the heart of her former lover. As they continued to clash weapons Sasuke penetrated Sakura's stomach with his blade, Sakura still never made a sound and pulled the blade from her stomach and prepared to attack again. Sasuke had to admit she had courage beyond belief he raised his sword combined with his chidori and aimed it at Sakura's head. Out of nowhere Shinata's father appeared and caught the sword and released the chidori jutsu energy out of his free hand and directed to the nearby wall.
"You killed many ninjas today Sasuke and you even took the eye of Kakashi, why?
"Kakashi wasn't a true Uchiha his every breath and use of the my clans ability was an insult to my ancestors, the ninja that stood in my way were here to protect a Senju, that was their crime and now it's time for you to die Uzumaki" as he gave a emotionless retort.
"No only you die this day, the last Uchiha will part the world of the living, good bye old friend as you part this world think of the atrocities you committed" as Naruto gave a couple of hands signs and so did Sasuke.
Shinata could not remember anything after that except a blinding light and a heat that was so intense she blackout for a minute. When she woke up her father had a puncture hole in his chest and bleeding badly, Sasuke was screaming in pain, her father removed his eyes from his head. Naruto staggered to Sakura and picked her up and then came to get his daughter trying to convince a five year old little girl that everything was alright and that she was safe and that he was in good condition. The little girl cried so hard on seeing her father bleeding that she forgot everything else, Naruto personal guards came and started to perform healing jutsu on Sakura and him. Naruto laid down and closed his eyes and was still talking to his daughter telling her daddy just tired and that he needs to close his eyes to sleep for awhile. As she started to cry more Hinata came in with her older siblings rush to her and held onto her tightly and all of them went to see their father and Sakura together. Her older sister Kimi was there to hold her hand along with her twin brother Tasamine, Kana who was born right after the twins and Kiyoshi who was just two years older than Shinata. That day Shinata saw her father injured and was in the hospital for a month and Sakura who face was deformed because of Sasuke Uchiha. Sakura now had to use a henge the rest of her life to hide her deformity, Shinata remembered when she first seen her without using the henge. The scar left a deep crevice in her face her eye was pale almost dead looking with yellow around the edges, but most of all she was missing some flesh of the top of her head and she could only see about fifty percent from her damaged eye. From that day Shinata was proud to call Sakura auntie because she risked everything to keep her safe.
As Shinata laid in the bed she could not wait to see her father and mother at the hospital tomorrow, but she still had such rage that would not vanish from Sasuke Uchiha presence. She knew that even after all of that Sasuke used the eye of Kakashi and continued to be a serious threat to her village and family in the future.
