Chapter 4
I hope you enjoy. If you have questions, feel free to ask.
Warning: There will be a lot of time skips in this chapter.
The next morning, Sakura was woken up by knocking on her door. She was beyond tired. Naruto has been crying for most of the night and she hasn't gotten much sleep. Right now Naruto is sleeping in his crib and guessed it wouldn't be long until he wakes up.
Sakura went down stairs and opened the door to see her best friend.
"You look like a mess."
Sakura just tiredly glared at him. "What do you want Itachi"
"I just wanted to see how you are doing with Naruto and if you needed any help. And by the looks of it, it looks like you do."
"Well of course I need help. I don't know how to take care of babies. I'm only four and there are no adults here."
"And that's why I'm here." He said as he entered her house with a big backpack. "I brought you some diapers, baby wipes, bottles, a pacifier, and some other baby things."
Sakura narrowed her eyes, "And how do you know what to do?"
"I've seen my mom do it with Sasuke." He casually said.
"Well Naruto is still asleep right now so I'm going to make breakfast. You want some?"
"Sure"
As they were eating, they heard Naruto start crying up stairs. Itachi stood up and said "I'll get him. Do you know how to make a bottle of milk for him?"
"Yeah, I'll make one right now."
Itachi made his way up the stairs and went into Sakura's room where Naruto was. Itachi carefully picked up the crying Naruto and cradled him. Naruto quieted down to whimpering.
He gently smiled and said, "Hello Naruto, I'm Itachi. I'm your older sister's best friend. It's finally nice to meet you."
"Wow Itachi you're really good with kids"
Itachi slightly blushed.
"Here I made his milk"
Itachi took the bottle and moved it towards Naruto's mouth where he started to suckle.
It has now been two years. Sakura and Itachi (but mostly Sakura), with some help from the third Hokage and Mikoto, have been raising Naruto. Now Naruto and Sasuke are two years old and Sakura and Itachi are now six. Both Itachi and Sakura are ready to enter the academy. The hokage decided that he wouldn't mind taking care of Naruto in his office while Sakura is gone. As Naruto was growing, Sakura noticed that he was pretty smart for his age and very talkative. Sakura has also met Itachi's other friend Shisui. The three of them have become best friends and would do many things together.
Sakura and Naruto have a routine where they get up early, eat breakfast, then go to the Hokage's office to drop him off, then after school Sakura would go pick him up and take him back home. It was really tough for Sakura to raise Naruto while going to school and having homework, but Sakura didn't give up and made sure she had time with Naruto. She rarely sees Itachi anymore unless they were in the academy, but were still best friends. And Sasuke, well… he's fine, he has both his parents and Itachi so he's fine. Both Sakura and Itachi where exceling fast in the academy and were taking high classes that they seem they looked like they were going to graduate early.
Another year has passed and Sakura and Itachi are now seven and both have now graduated from the academy. Sakura graduated as the top of her class and Itachi second.
At age eight, Itachi has mastered the Sharingan, while Sakura has mastered her family's blood line limit called the Eclipsed eyes. When using it, Sakura's eyes turn completely black. The whole eye turns black. With her kekkei genkai, her vision goes completely black as if she was blind, but she is able to see sound waves emitted when something moves, makes a noise, or breathes. She has a 360 degree vision and can go on for miles. What's scary about her kekkei genkai is that she is able to see and hear the sound waves of a beating heart. It makes it impossible for someone to hide from her and sneak up on her and when she is wearing her mask, they won't notice when she is using her kekkei gankai. She won't need to feel you chakra to know you're there, all she has to do is hear your heart beat, lungs, and movement and you're caught.
At age ten both have passed the chunin exams and now Naruto and Sasuke are six and have now entered the academy. And of course as Naruto grew up and was treated badly by the villagers, Naruto has become a trouble maker. Every time Naruto came home crying because none of the kids wanted to play with and have bullied him, Sakura would go full on mama bear and would not let anybody get close to Naruto, but of course she couldn't always be there with him every second making sure no one hurts him especially when he goes to the academy. Sakura being the worrying older sister/mother she is, she started to train Naruto with kunai and shuriken throwing and basic taijutsu and maybe a little military (not that anybody would notice… Right?) defensive stances and moves to protect himself from bullies. Sakura practically became his own personal teacher. She taught him everything that the academy would teach him, but making it more fun and interesting so he would pay attention. Because of her, Naruto was actually doing really well in the academy and getting good grades, but he still got into a lot of trouble. He even made some friends that will cause trouble with him. His friends are Kiba, Shikamaru, and Choji. Sometimes they would come over to Sakura's house to play and plan their next prank. Sakura would even help plan with them.
Sakura even heard Kiba say "Naruto you're so lucky to have such a chill sister that will help you plan pranks."
"Yeah you're really lucky Naruto" said Choji.
The one that Sakura remembers the most was when Naruto painted on the stone heads of the Hokages. When she first heard about it was when Naruto's academy teacher Iruka called her in to talk about Naruto's behavior. When he said that Naruto was the one who painted on the stone heads of the Hokages, Sakura almost burst out laughing, but kept her composure and kept a blank face pretending to be mad at Naruto. When both of them made it out of the academy, Sakura burst out laughing.
Naruto looked at her in shock that she wasn't mad. When she stopped laughing, she crouched down to Naruto's height and smiled "You know what Naruto? I'm not even mad, that's amazing. How did you get up there without falling off?"
"So you're really not mad aneki (big/older sister)?"
"That's what I just said, silly. I can't ever be mad at you for a little thing like that. I mean it's just paint. Anybody can wash it off, but of course there will be consequences for what you did"
And of course Naruto's consequence was washing of all the paint off the stone faces of the Hokage's.
At age eleven Sakura and Itachi entered the Anbu. They were both really strong for their age and have impressed many people. Especially Fugaku, Itachi's father. He even wanted to have Sakura marry Itachi, saying that only she was worthy of being with Itachi, but both immediately declined saying that they only saw each other as best friends/siblings. Both still wanted to get stronger, so Sakura started to train with military combat and combining it with taijutsu and even started to train Itachi on military combat, in secret. Sakura has also started on how to control the Ten-Tails demon's chakra with some help with Itachi to make sure she does not lose control. Only Itachi knows what to do if she ever loses control.
At age twelve, Sakura has started to learn how to build her own weapons. Not just any weapons, but military weapons as in grenades, pistols, machine guns, rifles, snipers, and many more. Sakura even made her own base under the village where she stores her weapons and other things that are meant to be hidden and to try out her guns (practice aiming). The base isn't really big… yet. She is planning on making it even bigger and at least 50 feet underground so no one would detect or hear the gunfire. The entrance would be through her basement and there would be a code needed. The only person who knows what she is doing is the third Hokage and Itachi. Sakura has even taught Itachi how to fire a gun. Sakura has even been thinking on teaching Naruto more about military combat and handling a gun. She has also modified her bionic arm to turn in to a blade, a gun, to have have electricity, and fire. Not to brag, but Sakura is also really good with medical ninjutsu and is considered to be one of the best (Not as good as Tsunade though, but I'll get there in another chapter).
Now at twelve, Itachi has made it to Anbu captain, while Sakura was second in command. At first they wanted Sakura to be captain, but declined since she wanted Itachi was looking forward to being captain. Both Itachi and Sakura are not the same as they were when they were younger since they both had to kill at a young age, but were still the best of friends. They both became pacifist, believing war and violence is unjustifiable. To others they were both cold and emotionless, but between the two Sakura was the one who showed more emotion. They only show emotion to their families and good friends.
Today though, something felt off to Sakura. Something or someone is in or too close to the village. As Sakura made it back home, she immediately felt like someone was missing.
"Naruto?" She called out. "Naruto are you here?" When she received no answer, Sakura went to full on mama bear and started to search the house for any sign of him. There was none. She turned on her eclipsed eyes and focused on finding Naruto's heartbeat. Yeah, that's right, Sakura memorized Naruto's heartbeat. As she scanned the sound waves of the hearts of the village, she immediately went rigid. He wasn't in the village. She started to scan the outside of the village and finally found his heartbeat along with another she did not recognize. Sakura ran as fast as she can towards Naruto with her kekkei genkai activated ready to kill whoever kidnapped him.
She finally made it and stopped and saw a really pale man with long black hair. He almost looked like a snake. He was wearing a black cloak with red clouds on it. Naruto was knocked out laying on his back behind him. Sakura wanted to kill him in the worst way possible for even touching Naruto, but knocking him out too? Well, let her have mercy on his soul.
"Well... well. You actually came and I see that you are quite mad considering you have your kekkei genkai on."
'Shit, I forgot to put on my mask back on.'
"Who are you and what do you want from Naruto?"
"My name is Orochimaru and I don't want anything from the little one. I used him to get you to come. I have been watching you for quite some time and what I want is you."
"Why would you want me for?"
"I want the eclipsed eyes. You are the only one left from the Jikan Clan. One of the most powerful clans ever."
"If you want me then you're going to have to fight me."
"So be it." And with that he disappeared then reappeared in front of her and was about to punch her. Sakura quickly ducked and tripped him, but he immediately recovered and started a series of punches and kicks towards her. She dodged all of them and saw an opening and punched him hard with her bionic arm in the stomach and flung him into a tree. Without letting him recover she turned her bionic arm into a blade and stabbed him in the chest.
"It hasn't even been two minutes and you already lost."
'Damn, I've waited too long. She has gotten too strong. I have to get out of here'
Orochimaru quickly pushed her off and disappeared with a 'poof'.
'Damn it, he got away. He said he has been watching me, but I never felt him around. He must have a spy in the village watching me, but for now I have to get Naruto home.'
Sakura picked up the unconscious Naruto and made her way back to the village. She will need to talk to the Hokage about this.
Sorry about the short fight, but that's what happens when she is too powerful. Also I am not really good at writing fights, only imagining them. I am planning to have someone to be able to counter her attacks and is as strong as her, but that's way later. I hope you enjoyed and make sure to review.
