Itachi's POV

I sighed in compleate boredom as I glared down at my ANBU paperwork: I wanted an excuse to leave the paperwork for later. Apparently Sasuke could read my mind, he wanted help with learning our clan's Jutsu. I gladly opened the door as I agreed so eagerly that the look of shock on Sasuke's face forced me to hold back my laughter.

"Niisan? Why are you so eager today? Usually you always say not today or later, why is that?" I gave a foxy grin as I gave my answer.

"Honestly, I hate paperwork. I don't get how father does it everyday. And besides there's always tomorrow, I don't have to do it right now." I responded with a mix between a scowl and a pout on my face. Sasuke blinked as I neatly avoided our father as we left the compound, I headed to a random training ground as I looked around. As I turned to Sasuke I herd a small laugh and a small red head with... lavender eyes? Is she related to the Hyuga Clan?

"Itachi-Niisan? What are you doing? I thought you had things to do?" I just gave a look that said, "I don't care right now, it can wait." I thought as I looked up when I herd the quiet and familiar voice of the Uzumaki Heiress. I was aware that my cheeks were tinted pink but again, I don't care. Then I suddenly blurted out the question on my mind as I looked up towards Natsuki's Direction.

"How do you have the Byakugan? Natsuki-Chan? Are you related to the Hyuga?" I asked as she froze in shock as she suddenly lost her footing in the tree, she then slipped with a startled shriek. I quickly caught her as Sasuke gaped at me in shock and confusion.

"What an awkward situation this is." I thought to myself as I felt my cheeks heating up in embarrassment. The girl then wispered something in my ear as my eyes went wide, I opened my mouth to speak but she shook her head as she pointed to Sasuke, I got the hint, and made a mental note to talk to Natsuki-Chan about the topic later.

I was also aware that the Uzumaki had a crush on me, even though she is only eight years old, both Natsuki and Sasuke just started going to the Ninja Academy a few weeks ago. Also I have been assigned as Natsuki's personal ANBU Gaurd ever since... well never mind.

"Um... Niisan? Don't you mean Naruto? And speaking of him where is the Dobe?" Sasuke asked with a raised eyebrow. I sighed as I gave Sasuke a look that said your wrong, foolish little brother. I was brought out of my thoughts when Natsuki spoke up.

"Tachi? Can you help me with some fire Jutsu?" I blinked as I nodded. Natsuki has a fire chakra element, because that was one of her fathers elements as well.

"My two other Elements are water and lightning, is it normal to have two chara elements Tachi?" Natsuki asked me as I nodded with a blush on my cheeks. She giggled which made my blush darken even more as Sasuke gaped.

Mikoto's POV

I was in the kitchen washing the dishes when my two sons and a red haired girl came in looking tired but happy at the same time. I then decided to speak up as I asked my oldest son what they were up to.

"So, Itachi-Kun what were you, Sasuke-Kun and Natsuki-Chan doing all morning? You all look exhausted." I asked as Itachi spoke up.

"We were training mother, and I taught Natsuki-Chan the Fireball Jutsu because one of her elements is fire." Then before he could say more my younger son spoke up.

"Yah and her other two elements are water and lightning. That's so cool! Oh and mother is there any scrolls on water and lightning jutsu's that we could use to practice with?" Sasuke asked as I gave all three of them a warm smile as I replied.

"I think there might be some in your fathers study, but you can look for them after you three have eaten lunch okay." Both Itachi and Sasuke nodded while Natsuki tilted her head as I ruffled her hair as I guided her to the table as well.

It was silent for a while until Sasuke spoke up. "Hey mother? Why is father never here to have lunch with us?"

"Well, your father is busy with work for most of the day so he can't come home until evening." then I turned to Itachi as I asked a question.

"Speaking of work, have you finished your ANBU paperwork Itachi-kun?" At the question I noticed a guilty look pace over my elder son's face as he turned to fave Sasuke, who just gave him a look that clearly screamed "You're in trouble!" Natsuki just frowned up at Itachi with a disapproving look as she shook her head in amusement.

"Well… I guess I got distracted training with Sasuke and Natsuki-chan." I gave a knowing smile while Sasuke looked confused and Natsuki's cheeks were tinted pink. I cheered inwardly that my oldest son had a crush on my best friend's beautiful daughter, and by the looks of it she liked him to. But she was still young, and Mikoto remembered the incident and the pieces clicked in her mind.

About a few minutes later we had all finished our lunch, and I watched with a smile as Itachi, Sasuke and Natsuki went back out to train with Jutsu scrolls in hand. "Wow Kushina-Chan! Your daughter is a spitting image of you in both looks and personality." I thought as I went to wash the dishes.

Natsuki's POV

I was ecstatic, Why do you ask? Well… It's because I made my first female friend. And it was none other then Hyuuga Hinata heiress of the Hyuuga clan. We became friends after I saved her from bullies and we tell each other everything. And today I was going to in traduce her to Uchiha Itachi, the one who saved my life.

So after class ended that day Hinata decided to introduce me to her father and younger sister. "Well I guess I am meeting Hinata's father and sister first, after this I'll introduce her to Itachi-kun and Mikoto-chan." I thought to myself as the Hyuga clan compound came into view. Two Hyuga guards greeted us at the entrance as Hinata guided me to where her father and younger sister Hinabi were training.

"Oni-san! You're finally home! Oh and is this one of your new friends?" Hinabi asked excitedly as I introduced myself with a bow.

"Hello, it's very nice to meet you, my name is Uzumaki Natsuki. What's your name?" The girl gave a happy grin as she responded cheerfully.

"It's very nice to meet you too Natsuki-chan. My name is Hyuuga Hinabi." I then turned to the clan head as I bowed in respect.

"It's very nice to meet you Hyuga-sama." I gave a warm smile as the man spoke up.

"It's a pleasure to meet you as well Uzumaki-san: my name is Hyuuga Hiashi, I am the Head of the Hyuuga clan."
