AN:(don't need to read it if you don't want to or it's take too long). This is my thoughts of what if Sasuke has a second chance to fix any mistakes, and redone any event in his past. Sorry if there's any grammar errors that i didn't see when i'd written it, this is my first time writting a story on Wattpad page.

This story may not have many chapters, the most i'm about to write it's 10,or 20(or possibly more if i have more times and words to write)
The story would consisted some of the main events from the Academy, most of Part I(Genin), and the whole Chunin Exam Arcs(if i remembered all correctly). From Part II and beyond, there'll be slight changing, Sasuke won't leave the Village(to our relief), he instead would stay and train under Kakashi(or Orochimaru, if Sasuke himself convinces him back to the goodside once more which possibly happen). And the rest of the series from Naruto the original series to Naruto Shippuden and finally Boruto: Naruto Next Generations will be different drastically.
(Ex: Sarada wont'be SasuSaku first born, she could be the last,...ect.) Artwork belongs to Miwo Kirihana, not mine, sorry.

I inteded to write as many stories as possible, if any of you out there would take your time reading them and like them or not. It's ok if you don't or even hate them or recommend them as trash, i just write them as a way to share my works and ideals to other readers and authors to leave the comments for them. In case if there anything happens to me, i just want to leave my thoughts and how great it is to write stories like many of you would feel. That's all i ever wanted.

You know, Naruto has been one of my favorite anime shows outside my league of Mahoushoujo type. I want to write more about other anime shows that i have imaginations about them but they might not quipe your interests. In all Naruto characters, my most favorite is Haruno (Uchiha) Sakura.
She's the main female character(you all know that), but she was hated by Americans viewers rather than Japanese viewers, something about how she's originally characterized. But i thought i saw her in a light different then others, and some of my stories will say about her back stories, her past before the Academy, how her birth happened, and more details about her parents, and her entire family and her clan. I want people in the series to know who Sakura really is, especially those who understated her as weak, useless, unformidable.

Even in Boruto where she's one of the Neo Sanins, there are still people who claimed her to still weak compared to either Naruto or Sasuke. Never judge a book by it's cover. In most of my tales, she'll be the brightest star, the others, like her team, her current family(husband and daughter),everybody else major surpporting characters.
Anyway, this story will be from Sasuke's POV, but others characters get to have their moments.
And beware not everyone is suitable to read it, because this story is rated M(M+,MA).
It's not i'm ashamed of being a closet pervert, but any stories of mine would have smutty lemons, smuffy intercourse and other nonsence or twisted thoughts that you may call me a creep.
The main couple(you guess it) SasuSaku(my OTP, and probably Kakashi's too, i'll tell you later).
They're one of the prime examples of not an ideal couple in sappy romance, but love through thick and thin,through pain and hardships, through life and death. And i'd honored to write them a story where they deserve to have a pain free,non-tragic life a ninja has to go through. Instead they'll have a life where they experience love early, the roles of adolescence, the comedy episodes of everyday ninja activities, with characters we all know and grow up throughout the series onward.
A few spoilers for those who neither read nor watched the doujinshis, some of the couple's episodes i'm about write. The first chapter will be very long since i like writting it altogether. From the second chapter and many more may have loops and holes,in and out. I'll write mostly about the story, but i'll also write some additional extras.
Some would be about Sasuke's thoughts in episodes where his most awkward,funniest,OOC moments appeared so far in Boruto(in memos of Uchiha Sakura's husband).
Some would be about the most precious SasuSaku moments in all 3 serieses, their thoughts, the hints and the things you might had missed and never noticed before.
And some would be about my personal works add to it, to fill what Kishimoto Masaki hadn't able to.
In any SasuSaku doujinshis i'd ever read in my life, my all-time favorite is Marry me?
It's a rated M Sasusaku doujinshi drawn and published everywhere by Kirihana Miwo.
A doujinshi where Sasuke proposed to Sakura to be his wife when they were Genin. I know it's too early for them to marry, but who cares, love overcomes anything, even laws.
It gave me a deep inspiration to write this story, along with every desire i want to express for the couple.
Sorry for the long note, i can't resist it, again for my apologies.
Enjoy the story, if you want to read it.

Sasuke feels light invades his eyes as he fading away. The scene before him is what he had missed since he still a cheerful, naive, ambitious child. Before the massacre, before everything, both good and bad, turned his whole life upside down.

i'm back and, i'm five again. No i'm six now. Yesterday was my birthday. That means...

The paper screen door connected to his room opened, reveals his mother. Oh how he missed the comforted words she always offered him whenever he feels down. The affectionate doting she would pampered on him. And the soothing presence she brought to him.

"Sasuke-chan, dear, are you alright? You look like you've been throu..."

Mikoto didn't finish her sentence when her son suddenly ran into her, hugging her as much as his now tiny arms could. She was surprised her son had problems after his recently birthday, but seeing his teary eyes and wide smile, she smiles back and enveloped him in her warm embrace.

"Oi, Sasuke, what's taking you so long? School was about to..."

Sasuke broke away from his mother's embrace to see in front of his very eyes standing his older brother, his eyes were distant and Sasuke wonders if this is when Itachi and their father went seperated ways.

This is when Nii-san became distant, i still have my chance to prevent him from killing our family. And i know who's responsible for this. Have to tell him before it's too late. And everything after then will go as i had wanted. Hopefully it'd worked.

"Nii-san, can you walk me to school? There's something i want to tell you about." Sasuke asked, waiting for his brother's answer.

Itachi knows there is something his orokana little otouto wants to tell him. And judging from Sasuke's serious look, it must be important for a mere child to have a stare like that at him.

"Alright, Sasuke. I'll walk you to school, little otouto." Even if this means the last time i walk you to school.

Sasuke from his serious expression turns back to his formerly happy look that he usually carried. This will be his opportunity to change the main root that leads to his clan's tragedy and his lonely life. His onyx eyes sparkled with determination.

"Ok, Nii-san i'll wait for,i'll go ahead this time. Thank you for the breakfast, Kaa-san."

Sasuke ran out his room, leaving his mother and brother thinking about his odd behavior.

Running through the hallway, Sasuke aburtly stops when he saw his father reading the scrolls at the dining table.
His father, Uchiha Fugaku, the head of the Uchiha clan, the cheif of the Uchiha Police Force, the reason his brother betrayed behind their backs for the sake of Konohagakure.

Tou-san, i once wanted your approval, your acknowledgement, your attention to my achievements, that surpass my brother's. But now i know your true intentions behind all of this. You may love us like your own, but you also using us like tools for your benefits. I won't longer be a pawn for your plans to destroy our village.

"How longer are you going to stand there staring, Sasuke?"

His father words brought him back to reality. Sasuke look back to his father who sipping his tea, his eyes in concentration. Not wanting to bring further suspicion, Sasuke looks at his father in the eyes and said

"Tou-san, after school was done would you spare your time to train me the Uchiha clan's traditional jutsu?"

The question he asked will be another chance for his father to reconsider his decision about invade the village, all for a misunderstanding that may partly their fault, but mostly not.

Sasuke remembers the Uchiha who released Kurama, the Nine-Tails that caused destruction to Konoha when he was just a few-months old baby. It was Uchiha Obito, his sensei's former teammate, whose reason is for revenge.

After the incident, the elders had blamed the Uchiha and thus removed them to the outskirt of the village, away from their society.

"Very well, Sasuke. But you may have to hurry, cause you have 30 minutes left to go to the Academy. In the afternoon, be there at the dock, i'll be there waiting, don't be late. Remember your request, son."

He spoke with the authority and grace that every Uchiha possesses. Sasuke hardened his stance and replies firmly, secretly planning his words he will speak with his father this afternoon.

"Yes, Otou-san, as you wish. I want you to know that there will be something else i want to discuss with you after school." Looking at the wall clock, Sasuke widens his eyes when he only has 15 minutes to go to school now.

Quickly grabs his bento box that his mother has carefully prepared, he went out the Uchiha manor seeing his brother wating at the gate.

Now's my chance to change his mind.

After this, no more living in solitude, no more isolating people i care about, no more locking my feelings away again. The plan must go on smoothly, when all of this done, i will enjoy my life as a normal boy, though the live of a shinobi never seems normal at all.

"What's with you and spacing around lately Sasuke? Are we going to the Academy or not?"

Itachi asked, voice voided of emotions, even though Sasuke can still hear concern in his tone, his brother was worried about him.

Sasuke immediately dashed to his brother, following outside their clan village, toward the Leaf Academy where Sasuke starts his lessons to graduate as a Genin.

"Nii-san, i know the reason behind your seperated ways with Tou-san.And i'd like to explain about it." Sasuke will say the strategy to his brother so he won't risk their family's lives and erase their mutual resentment with the village.

The tension will be lift of, and peace will once again return to the broken relationship between 2 sides. His brother will no longer carry the heavy burdens or give them to Sasuke himself anymore.

Itachi looks at his little brother, shocked and fear flashed through his eyes for a second. Can it be? That his orokana little otouto knows the dark thoughts that he's been thinking about?

"What are you saying, otouto?"
Sasuke spoke all his plan in one go

"Nii-san, i khow everything because i overheard your converstations with Tou-san the night your teammate died.

I also know that Tou-san planned to attack the village, i even know you'll follow Danzo's order to eliminate the whole clan and spare me.

So please don't do it and rethink about it, cause if you ever thought i become a hero for defeating you, i won't, i'd become a missing nin, i'd become an S-ranked criminal, i'd be an outcast once i came back to the village and there will be no home for me left.

I might as well kill my self and no one would cares. I know you're doing this for the sake of peace in the village, but i don't want to trade our family for this.

If you have to blame someone, blame it on Danzo and the elders, they're the ones that cause misfortune , with their lies and tricks that fool us all. Because of them, you got blamed for Shisui's suicide.

I can't stand anymore about them deceiving us around. If we work together and solve this out, we'll prevent the concil from further spreading rumors and tarnish our family name. You'll be forgiven, Nii-san.

You won't have to runaway and forced to join a villianous organisation called Akatsuki. Forget their plan and stand them out, let the whole Five Nations know the truth about them and see what they can do about it. Let our clan knows that you're innocent and have nothing to do with it. Please,

Nii-san, from the bottom of your heart, i know you love our family so much that it hurts you from the inside, to see them blindly go to the wrong path for powers, so if you want to help me convincing them to stop a revolution that was about to happen, our father would at least undertand and let it go.

Than our clan will gain back the village's trust, and we will never have to live in misery and sadness."

If Sasuke knew he had so much to say directly to his brother and stated he wasn't a person for words, then boy how wrong he was.

The same thought would have cross Itachi's mind had he not heard what Sasuke just said. The words that his little brother spurted out from his mouth were something Itachi would never thought he would spoken out loud to his face.

He wouldn't believe his own ears if Sasuke still standing there with the most serious face a child can wear. Then Itachi finaly spoke

"Sasuke, i don't know how you managed to easvedrop on my converstation with Chichi-ue or how you came with all those notions of yours.

But you're right, i'm a coward for double-crossing both our clan and our village as their spy respectively. I was blackmailed by Danzo and the concils, for they will cause harm to our family, including you, if i ever disobeyed their orders, and for that i'm regretted."

Sasuke just look at his brother, the idol he worshipped, the only person he looked up to, and the brother whom he admired and loved dearly.

He sacrifies everything for his loved ones and Sasuke would do the same, but now he had his second chance, he can change the fate. With hope, with determination, with the Will of Fire, he can overcome everything.

"You know Sasuke, with those words and your very own strenght, you will make a great Uchiha patriarch"

Itachi claimed with an area of pride, for he believes no matter how foolish his little otouto can be, he would make an influential clan leader to leads the bright future for them all.

"You really think so?" Sasuke asked, uncertained. True he did become the Uchiha patriarch, being the sole Uchiha survivor then, with a wife and a daughter to continue the line for the next generations for the Uchiha clan.

But now he had to start over again from scratches, he sometimes think he can't be anywhere near his brother's level of a potential leader, despite everything.

"Absolutely, i had no desire or dream of being the Head of a powerful, prestigious but bloodstained by pains and curses.

I'd still be ready to take that title seriously once you clear our name with me. If not, you can always count on me.

You Sasuke, you can reverses it. The Curse of Hatred, is what makes our clan a burden, to lose our love and having it turned into hatred, it's cruel.

And i believe that you can end it once and for all."

"Does that mean you will change you mind about it. You will help me find ways to stop the concils and cleanse our family name? You won't turn on your back to do so?"

Sasuke askes hopefully, his chance to make his brother reconsider his choice is at stake. He just waited.

Come on, i know you can do it, Nii-san. We'll find ways to prevent it from happening. We can always stick together, side-by-side. Aunts, uncles, cousins, all our relatives, they can be saved without the need to bloodshed and losses to worry.

"Of course not, Sasuke.

Without your words, i'd still on my duty to killing our clan without mercy, and living the rest of my life, wallowing in sadness and feeling dishonered.

I can't stand the thought of you hating me, my orokana little otouto.

I'll follow your words and do what i must have done a long time ago, disband the concils and make our village welcome our clan back, unite the two sides again."

"Thank you Nii-san."

Sasuke once again feels his smile spread through his face. He can live peacefully with his family safely and whole in one piece.

Now for other things, what Sasuke should have done when he relized.

Getting rid of eveything that cause chaos and mishapen to the village along with everywhere else. And repopricated Sakura's uncontional love for him and strenghtened the bonds with team 7.

To Sasuke' amusement, he can be a match maker and help everyone in the Rookie 9 get toghether earlier than expected.

By the time his train of thoughts come to an end the two Uchiha brothers
has arrived to the entrance of the Academy. That's where they part ways.

With his affectionate smile, Itachi pokes Sasuke on the forehead and says goodbye. Sauke smiles back at him.

"I'll see you later, Sasuke. I have to discuss with Chichi-ue about our chat, and i'll talk with the Sandaime about Danzo and his schemes along with the concils.

Once this all take into matters, they'll no longer bothering us when they got sent to death penalties. And hopefully you'll become the new Uchiha patriarch soon.

Find yourself a girl you love with all you heart, ok?"

"Don't worry, Nii-san, i already have someone i love, you won't dissapointed about her."

Sasuke confirms, a small cute blush powdered his cheeks, his eyes glimmering with love for his beloved Cherry Blossom. Itachi was sure he can hear his otouto's heart pounding rapidly, and he can't help but teasing him.

"Oh, is it the adorable pink-haired girl with a red bow, who keeps sneaking on our training sessions?"

Itachi smirks when his otouto's blush deepened. Sasuke knows his brother may have caught him staring at Sakura occasionally when they were small back in his original life.

Might as well tell the truth about Sakura and Nii-san would guess correctly about my early proclaim and propose to her becoming my wife. Nii-san would had love her, and so would our clan, our parents wouldn't object to her. Here it goes.

"Yes, it's her. Her name's Haruno Sakura, she's top in our class in intelligence, her standard even above that of Nara Shikamaru.

And in the future, she can be the best medic nin with her perfect chakra control, her talent would be the same level as the Legendary Slug Sannin, Senju Tsunade, maybe surpass hers. She's a great person and someone i want to be with."

Itachi nods in understanding, a mere civilian girl that has IQ greater than a Nara and has possibly chances to surpass a Sannin in Medical Jutsus. Sounds fitting for a future machiarch and to take care of Sasuke and their future childen.

A healer Uchiha sounds rare in the clan. Yet the process of a machiarch who can raise and nuture her people and children into fine warriors like the girl Sasuke described would be a dream woman for any clan heir. He likes the sound of that.

And did his brother read tomes in the Hokage tower's archives to know about the famous Senju Tsunade?

"She looks fine enough to me, and i know the clan will agree with me, plus it will be a joy to add some colors to the next generations when you're ready, little otouto."

Itachi smiles proudly at his brother's choice of woman. They both hear the ring of a bell, indicating classes will start any moments.

"Sorry for borrowing your time, Sasuke, but i must go now. And remember to ask Sakura-chan to come to our family meals anytime you want."

Itachi leaves, but not before seeing Sasuke eagerly nods at what he previously said.

Itachi smiles at the thought of a bright future with pictures of little nieces and nephews to play with and dote on. How wonderful.

Sasuke heads straight to the classroom, ignoring the noises around him. The chattering of his classmates, the squealing of the fangirls trying to grab his attention upon seeing him.

Sasuke detests fangirls, especially lousy, snobbish, stuck up ones who claim him as theirs and only mind of their looks instead of skills.

There's ever only one girl who will always hold his attention, and his heart. Sakura, the one whom he loves with every fibers through flaws and all. He remembers clearly the reasons she enter the Academy for.

She didn't because of him, unlike other fangirls. She didn't even know him before she enrolls. Sasuke was sure, Sakura, along with Hinata are the only girls who will forever love him and Naruto for who they are.

If those brainless fangirls also knew who Naruto really are, they'd seek for his attention as well, how pathetic can they be. Sasuke deemed them as worthless and he enraged when most of them would bully Sakura daily because of her forehead.

If they call Sakura ugly and unworthy of his affection, then they had made the biggest mistake of their lives. Sasuke will definately avenge for her and claim her as his in front of them, with everyone else.

Those weaklings, think they can attract me like they can. This is the main reason i want to propose to Sakura soon. If they think they can outlook her and get away with it, then they will face my warth and never live to tell EVER.AGAIN.SAKURA.IS.MINE.ONLY. MINE.FOREVER.

Sasuke thought darkly, plotting his vengance for his future wife, sitting at the corner with Sakura besides, thankfully away from the clutches of those abusive, agressive fangirls thinking they could step on her like a doormat.

Besides her sat his self-proclaimed rival/ best friend (not that Sasuke admits it at first), Uzumaki Naruto, both at everything and secretly Sakura's love which Sasuke smugly knows it belongs to him from the start.

Sasuke would settle over with Sakura first then deal with Naruto later.

About the time Iruka walks in and stops the commotion, Sasuke was grateful since his ears might bleed.

The lesson passed through not long before Naruto pulls a prank and caused the whole class to go into a messy, chaotic ruckus.

But Sasuke didn't mind all of it since he'd kept his sight besides the beauty that bewitched him, not tearing his eyes away from her for a second after Iruka began the lesson.

From a glance of a naked eye, they'd comment the look Sasuke kept giving Sakura is the one of a lovesick dreamer.

The stance Sasuke's in as usual, his left hand holding his head and a side of his cheek. His view completely immense in front of only Sakura, his eyes were half-lidded and held a deep tenderness.

His cheeks were dusty pink, his mouth formed in a straight line but if you look close enough, you can spot the corners of his lips twitching upwards into a small smile, even parted in awe.

Sakura, oblivious to the loving stare Sasuke gave her, just writing on her notebook, undisturbed by the ruckus. It's hard for her to write while her bands keep poking her eyes. She's still insecured about her forehead, her most hated feature.

Unbeknownst to her, it was the most lovable detail of her, to the boy sitting next to her whom she hadn't notice yet. Now that she thought about it, she kept sensing someone staring at her.

She rolled her emerald obs to the left and caught the intense yet gentle look the black-haired boy shot directly at her. At the same time Sasuke felt eletricity bolted through his entire body. Was this the feeling of the lightning of Love struck into him?

Sakura looked him in shock. Was he staring at her the whole time? Each of them have a question of their own. The two of them were inside their own bubble, away from the sounds outside.

"Okay, class dimissed. Naruto, i'm warning you, keep this up and you'll end up cleaning the whole classroom."

Iruka ends his lesson and walks out of the class after glaring at Naruto.

Sasuke just shook his head, watching Naruto slowly stepped out the class after everyone else went out. He looked back to where Sakura was sitting and was upset that she's already left. Sasuke wants to go to Sakura first, but after seeing Naruto's devastated face, he decided to go to him first.

And he found Naruto slumping on the swing alone in the schoolyard, his expression hurt and sorrow.

Worried, Sasuke approaches steadily to him, not wanting to alert him.

Noticing another precence, Naruto averted his gaze and saw Sasuke standing ther with a calm look. Sasuke breaks the silence first, since he could be impatient sometimes.

"Naruto, i notice you hadn't come home yet. Was it lonely for you to be ignored and shunned by others?"

Sasuke fakes his nonchalantly act, but inside, he was anxious for his friend's living condition.

Naruto was out from his saddened state, not knowing someone else from his class would care about him. He just nodded once and look away, signing dejectedly.

"Every day, people would accuse me for something bad that happened since my birth. No matter how hard i try to be nice to them, they keep treating me badly with insults.

No one except the Sandaime and the old man, Teuchi from Ichiraku shop treat me with kindness. You're Uchiha Sasuke right?

Everyone admires you for being the prodigy from a famous clan, and yet you're here talking to me.

I'm not like everone else who would respect you for where you cam from. I'd respect you for who you are, Dattebayo."

And that's how Sasuke came to respect Naruto and knows him as his best friend. Unlike others, Naruto doesn't make friends with him just because he's an Uchiha.

Because Naruto saw him as someone that he is. Prideful, arrogant, self-confident and not like everyone expect for.

Sasuke'll help him as a payment for his loyalty and for their frienship that he wished he had repaired sooner in his original life. Naruto won't be alone like him anymore when he knows the truth.

"There's something you should know. Listen carefully Naruto, you don't deserve to be alone and being outcasted by others. They're to blind and deaf to know the whole thing behind the Nine-Tails incident that you're a part of.

You're the son of the Yondaime, Namikaze Minato, the man whose face was carved on the Mounument besides the Sandaime's.

He, along with your mother, one of the last living of her clan, Uzumaki Kushina had sacrified their lives for you on the night you were borned.

To save the village, your father had sealed the beast inside you, the seal on your stomach. The cause, both your father and mother died for 3 reasons.

Your father's chakra fatal depletion, your mother's chakra and strenght giving birth to you, and both of them were impaled by one of the beast's claws, nearly killing you.

In their dying moments, they said how much they loved you, and how regretted they were when they wouldn't be there for you.

You must understand Naruto, they had let you in my clan's care when they took their final breath. Our mothers were friends back then and our fathers were companions in the Force.

But you should keep your name and what i just said a secret.

Many enemies are coming after your father. So they'd also after you too. Keep what you heard today as a secret, and don't tell a singke soul about it.

Not Shikamaru. Not Chouji. Not Iruka.

If i can convince my family once my clan was cleansed from it's misunderstandings, we can take you in and take care of you. You'd be like my adopted brother and we can live under the same roof.

You, me and Sakura. Together. Like a team. Like a family."

Sasuke explained to him, glad at his speech.

Naruto at first was shocked, next surprired, then he has tears flow down his whiskered cheeks both in sadness and joy.

Sad for his parents to passed away on his birth.

Happy that he'd have a family again with the very boy he calls his rival for numerous occasions. Then he realized at who else was mentioned. Was he talking about...

"Did you just said Sakura-chan?

Why would she live with us if she already has a family?"

Naruto wondered what does Sakura has to do with Sasuke. He knows in class Sasuke never pay attention to girls, more like fangirls, minus Hinata for some unknown reason which he didn't know.

Sasuke curses himself internally, he forgot about Naruto's unrequited crush for Sakura.

He admits himself that from their Genin days, he did felt jealousy toward the attention Naruto received from Sakura. And he was angry when Sakura showed a genuine smile about hearing Naruto's strenght from him.

It was like Naruto would steal her away from him as they got older, leaving him all alone with a certain Hyuuga's feelings forever unreciprocated.

Like breaking 2 hearts with a hammer.

"Hn. That's because if i ever become the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, i need to find a girl i love to rule with me in leading the clan to the good path.

And Sakura the only one i love who's suitable enough to be the matriarch of the clan."

After saying this, Sasuke didn't know whether he should take that back, or say something else otherwise Naruto's crestfallen face will suffered him more.

He resorted to cheer him up, letting him know there's a girl who's been in love with him long before he knew Sakura.

"Oi, don't make that face, there's still hope for you.

You know Hyuuga Hinata right? She's the heiress of the Hyuuga clan, and she's loved you since who knows how long, like the time you saved her, i guess?"

Sasuke'd heard from Sakura one time from the last mission on the moon that Naruto was the one who had saved Hinata when she was three. If Hinata gave the tilte to her sister faster, the sooner the couple would get together.

Won't that be easier for him to realized the girl's feelings much sooner than before?

"Hinata-chan? The girl who stalks me and always stutter and blush around me? And she's doing all of those because she loves me and want to confess to me? Is that it?"

Sasuke was thankful he didn't have to further explain to the blockheaded dead-last.

"Hn,That's her, so stop sulking and go get yourself some ramen, because tomorrow you'll confess to her and i'll convince my clan to let you stay.

The next day will be the life-changing experience for both of us to remember.

"Here, my treat." Sasuke shoved his hand in his pocket to find some cash. To his luck, not only did he find money, but also ramen coupons, he questioned why he kept them in his pockets.

He gave them to Naruto. As he running away from the schoolyard, Sasuke shouted loud enough for him to hear

"Oh and remember Naruto, be yourself and have faith in you.

You'll aways have someone to love and love you back. So don't mess things up and acting like an idiot, you Usuratonkachi!

Naruto turns his head while running and shouted back with a tounge stuck out to his now b*stard of a friend.

"Is that how you treat your friend whenever you give them advices, Teme? Because your large ego starts to expand now, Dattebayo." With that,

Naruto was out of the schoolyard. Sasuke just looked back and smirked.
"Hn,You better cherish it, Dobe, because there won't be a second time."

Sasuke replied cooly and strode out the huge yard space, looking for his Cherry Blossom, his future bride to confess his unwavering love her.

That was something he had wanted to done before in his original misspent youth, and he'd make the most of it.

Sasuke remembers the exact location where Sakura would be walking home, he was happy when caught sight of her soft pink hair.

But what enraged him was a group of 3 girls bullying her, making fun of her hair and forehead, two of his farorite features that makes her Sakura, his most precious person.

How dare THEY? They got nerves bullying my Sakura, i'll make them pay the worst punishment they'll never forget they'd wish they never enter the Academy. Especially that ugly purple-haired witch that's nothing more of trash to me. Her name is worst enough, now her precence too. They'll be Hell to pay, and Blood to shed.

Can't stand anymore of this torture, Sasuke marches forward to the uglyheads who stupidly teasing on his Beloved, swearing a million times never to leave Sakura's side ever again.

"HEY. WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING TO HER HA?. STAY AWAY FROM HER, OR ELSE."

His shout was so loud that it frightened the 3 bullies who advanced on his love. Those moronic b*tches think they can fake their naveity and blame everything on Sakura with their sl*tty attitude, then they're majory wrong.

The hideous purple thing, it speaks, more like whines, he didn't bother to notice it's name. It just wasting his time.

"But Sasuke-kun, we were trying to get rid of this monst..."

The brat shut it'ts mouth when it saw the glare Sasuke aiming at it. To said Sasuke is furious would be undertatement, he was livid with a killing intent at the culpit who was resonsible for harming Sakura both physically and emotionally.

He won't be merciful to them when he was done with them.

"Monster? Monster?! MONSTER?!

The only monsters i see here is you. Do you have half a mind how important she is to me, huh? Do you even mind about people's feelings when you hurt them?

Or how much it hurts for her to get bully over a stupid notion like her forehead?

I don't think she's anything like what you said at all.

To me, she's far too prettier and smarter than all of you combine. And she deserves to be a great ninja someday unlike you."

Sasuke snided harshly at them, mentally smirked at their visible broken-hearted looks with fat tears fall down. Their tears aren't affect him, not one bit.

The only tears he'll ever wipes away would always be Sakura's.

And he was glad she welcomed his open arms as he hugging her tightly, sheilding her away from those irritating brats.

"You know what, i bet the whole village won't even want anything to do with petty, vain creatures like you so called fangirls.

You and the rest of the weak female population that keep fawning over me, forget about it.

Cause i only ever have eyes for Sakura alone. If you have time to stuck to my torso like sticky snails just for my looks and fame, then you might as well quit being a kunoichi.

For i have no interests in ugly sl*ts who has too much make up like clowns and too selfish and obtensible, for their own good, you're nothing to me.

To me you're disgusting, vile, stuck up, mean, malicious, cruel, spoiled, greedy and have no respects to others that are good, or way better then you.

You can die and rotten in Hell for all i want and i won't even feel bad about it, not at all."

Sasuke just spoke in a monotonous voice that lowered in a demonic tone, a cold glare that flashes red with his now one-tomoe Sharingan at them.

Sasuke was so livid, he'd had lost his control if his grip on Sakura hadn't calmed him down. He'll give them the worst nightmares that'll haunt them for the rest of their lives.

That'll be the mark to end the 'Sasuke fan-club'.

Seeing the bunch of brats still standing there, shaking like leaves, huddling, whimpering in fear and heart- wrenching sobs, he just snarled at them and sneered.

He caught one of them, the purple one he just scolded tried to glared at the endearing girl in his grasp, he shot back a scarier one at her, stopping her from glaring at Sakura.

He recluantly releases Sakura, nudging her behind his back gently, assuring her he won't be long. Quickly he ran to the bullies, scared them away and barked manically at them.

"Don't you DARE dragging her into this mess that is your fault. And the one should be stare down is you, mostly you, Emui was it?"

Sasuke mocks her name, taking sick pleasure in the hurtful look she displays at him not remembering her name rightly.

He didn't even know what her name is and she thought he would?

How unpitiful this snot nosed brat is.

Decides to finish this, he pushes all three of the brats down on the dirt, ignoring their cries of pain and complains about how dirty they are.

Not hesitate, he resumed on beating them until they regret it.

"This is for all what you've been doing to Sakura. I won't stop this til' it get through your thick skulls, pea brains that i choose Sakura only and not the likes of you.

You filthy flies with your filthy hands and that sickening stench you carry, it's unbearable. You're worse than trash, you're worse than scums, you're worse than all those cr*ppy sh*ts you dislike."

Sasuke pulled their hair hard than chopped it with his kunai, punched their cheeks and everywhere his fists met til' they're bruised and oozed with blood, so far he only damaged their faces and hair.

Somtimes he'd aim for their chest or stomaches.

He even intended to break their fingers and legs for their uses for slapping and kicking Sakura.

They were no match to him, for they're just wimpy civilian fangirls and he was a former criminal turned Sanin inside the body of a six-yeard old boy.

Sakura just stared at the horrible one-way fight.

Her mind replayed the images of the brutal ways Sasuke lashes on the bullies whom she couldn't fight back minutes ago.

She swore she'd seen someone else who also witnessed the whole scene and done nothing to stop.

She knew he has no concerns to her yet he stood up for her and fought. And he's the boy everyone knows and every girl's dream guy.

But she doesn't see him for that, she thinks he's everything above what they think about them.

He's something more than that, and she can see it herself.

But the boy in front of her is different. He's viciously landing blows on the people who hurt her, out of pure vengance. Sakura wants to save him from the darkness, she wants to help him through the hardships. She wants to offer him what all she had for him to be happy. With a bit stumbling she ran to him and hugged him from behind.

Sasuke snapped the blind anger he's trapped and halted to looked behind him.

Sakura held him close to her, less than similar to how he'd held her.

Sasuke suddenly has a deja vu sense, that something had happened before in Shi no Mori. His sharingan's blazing, he just realized, and so was Sakura.

This girl, once again stopped him from rampaging on the scums that had harmed her without his knowing. Sakura, he thought she was more than any other fangirls out there.

She's special in an unique way, and had found a way worming into his cold heart. She'd broken his defence walls, her light reached his dark world, her love gave him warmth and happiness.

Sakura is the greatest gift in the world to ever given to him.

She kept loving him, she'd waited for him, she accepted him for he is, even after terrible things he'd done to her.

A lonely boy with no heart, seeked for revenge who had nothing, and she still willingly stayed by his side, she spent her time and energy to be with him, out of all people.

No other women can compete her in his heart. She's the keeper of his heart and soul, she's irreplacable to him.

He turns back and held her in return. He turned his head to the out-of-shaped, wretched, dolorous brats and said in a threatening baritone.

"Take this as a warning for all of you.

If i ever seen your presence within my line of sight, trying to rid of Sakura, then mark my words.

I'll hunt you down persnally to the bottom of Earth and end your very own esixtence.

I'm sick of your faces everywhere and not minding your own business.

Like to add salt and lemons to your wounds, Sakura and i will be husband and wife when we reach 12.

She's the only one i'll ever spend my days with and not with you fools, and she's the only woman get to call me Sasuke-kun, none of you can.

Spread words to the other no-good fangirls, and the young female generations that i no longer single and off the market.

I'd never given them a chance anyways so they could chase after some other guy. But if i caught some of you still foolishly enough to make a move on me while i'm engaged, you're dead.

You too, Ugly Eggplant Watanabe, you're on the top death list for attempt to abuse the future Uchiha Martriach, Uchiha Sakura, wife of Uchiha Sasuke.

And don't even think you teachers or you parents will help you after this. Ask them, and they'll still be on my side in this."

The three no longer wannabe fangirls just shook their heads franticcally and fled, all the while screeching and crying their eyes off due to how they badly hurt by their once prince and now heart breaker.

Once the word was spread like wild fire in the village, those three along with the female weaklings would admit they will never have a chance with the young Uchiha in the fisrt place and never tease Sakura again if they value their lives.

The Academy would have some kunoichis-to-be moved out, some because they were weak, some because they were threatened, some because their to heart-brokened to face it.

With the pain in his neck and in his butt gone forever out of his life, he has no need to fret over girls throwing themselves at him, anymore when they know he's solely belonged to Haruno Sakura, the subjected classmate of their twisted amusement had caught the young Uchiha's heart.

He had his whole attention back to the girl he loves, Sakura. She's remained in his arms, unharmed.

He checked for any injuries on her porcelain skin, on her beautiful face he loves staring at, and found minors that he hadn't notice when he first held her to protect her from the brats he encountered.

He signed in relief, then he smiled at her lovingly.

Surprised, she smiled back at him shyly in reply, he almost chuckled.

He had one more thing to resolve with, something to do with her hair, and her insecurities that she had never spoken to him in their entire lives, in his original life that he reminds.

Sasuke then looked pass Sakura's shoulder and spoke out to the person who had been hiding behind the tree the whole time.

"Come out where you're hiding, Yamanaka. I know you'd been there for a while."

As the last word left his mouth, behind a tree across from them stood out a platinum blond girl named Yamanaka Ino, the supposedly first friend of his Sakura.

She's been observing them when she wanted to helped Sakura, but drew when she saw her secret crush Uchiha Sasuke came to her rescue.

She'd observed in shock the way Sasuke proclaimed his love for Sakura and roughly beaten the bullies and ended the foundation of his own fan-club with no liberality.

She, a Sasuke fangirl herself also despondent when he'd made known that his heart and the new title of the Uchiha Martriarch were both belonged to Sakura, for some unknown surmise. But the question is, how?

Why her of all girls get to be the holder of what lies ahead for the Uchiha clan?

Why not her, the heiress of the Yamanaka clan? That she must interrogate to Sasuke, and she must has the answer.

"Yes, i'd witnessed what you'd said to them. Is it true, Sasuke?

Why her, a clanless, average, civilian girl who has no skills or no kekkai genkais?

Her parents aren't even ninjas or even have made it through Genin! Why not me instead?! I'm more popular, more talented, and would make a better partner for you. Together, we'd..."

SLAP. Sakura gasped a little at the gesture.

Ino's face flew aside from the pressure, not expecting her long time crush to raised a hand toward her, the future head of the Yamanakas.

She put a hand to where her reddened cheek aches, tears nearly welled up in her sky blue eyes as she looked warily at him.

Sasuke has a menacing look with a deep scowl marred his face, he won't let anyone bad-mouthed Sakura and her family, unintentionally or not.

Not even her somewhat best friend would he forgive so facilly.

He responded dryly with menace.

"And you think you're better than her for what? Because you're from a famous clan of the Leaf?

So tell me Ya-ma-na-ka, if we ever engaged and get married, which is never in eternity, which clan name would one of us take?

Surely you won't quit your clan title as the heiress, leaving your clan to shambles, right?

And you're so docile to think i'd happily take your last name and become your trophy husband, just to increase your name and popularity among your peers and groupies.

If you think something ridiculous like that to happen, then you're no better than those imbeciles.

I should know, because at one point, i'd seen you hanging out together.

You must been thinking of a way ganging on Sakura to torment her more. Not on my watch if you could get away from it easily. If it weren't for Sakura, you wouldn't be back home in one piece. "

Sasuke needn't to analyzing more to the speechless, stuttered blond to know she doesn't have anything else to retort, knowing she has lost the arguement.

"Furthermore, Sakura is different from you or any other girl.

Although she comes from a retired ninja family with a few experiences in careers of a ninja, i see her in a light that's far from other's oponions.

She doesn't love me to look for fame and fortune nor for strenght and allience. She attracted me without even trying anything.

She has potential of becoming a great fighter, both body and spirit, and she would make a powerful leader, even if now none of you see it yet. So do you understand?"

Sasuke impatiently wait for her to stumbled out her answer.

Ino is a subborn person and a sore loser, much like Naruto but in a more insane way.

He has to start their friendship soon and forces Ino to give up on him, or Sakura's broken bond with the boarish blond will be a worse version of their past fights in his Ol( original life).

Ino's slightly shaken body from sadness and resentment finally stiffened, and she utters out her defeat from a love-war the girl in front of her didn't meant to initiate at first.

"I understand, i was so persistant in approaching to win your love that i didn't have a second thought on consider your feelings about it.

I do want to be friends with Sakura since she likes a little bud that needs caring so she won't wilthering and die away, i just don't know what to if it took a wrong turn.

It's true, i'd shamefully hang out with them since before. And i hate myself for thinking like them about her.

But i don't want to be like them when i found about her unspoken, lately crush on you. Because i thought one of us would end our friendship to pursue you aimlessly. And it would be my fault to let those brats, targeting on Sakura when she was at her most defendless."

Ino bows her head shamefully, try to resist her wailling burst and her betrayed tears from the recent slap.

Sakura slowly leaves Sasuke's side to open her arms and give her friend a hug. Even though Ino had critisizing both her and her parents, a very unacceptable move, she wants her to know she doesn't hold any grudges or tensions against her.

Ino was atonished at Sakura's sympathetic embrace, and she returns it with relief, as a silent apology.

Sasuke watched the small reunion, a tiny smirk, almost a smile reached his face, he felt light-hearted.

He had fixed their connection, and he was affermative they'll be friendly like that til adulthood.

One last thing to finish and he'll walk Sakura home safely. He almost had a giddy expression at the thought of meeting his parents-in-law again.

He didn't recall the last time they met when he was away.

But these images of a pair of convivial civilian consisted of a wild, boisterious, funny man with a perculiar hairstyle, and a head-strong, bold, stern woman with a sharp gaze are colorful memories that he was exhilirated to reminisce.

He can't think of anyone better to offer their daughter to him or regard him like their own son, despite the worst he had done to their only child.

Their times interacting could be intense, awkward or quiet yet their still in good terms. He was lucky to have them as his in-laws, very lucky indeed.

Sasuke thought as he walked to the two girls chatting animatedly and asked the Yamanaka for a favor.

"Yamanaka, i was wondering if you happen to have a red ribbon for Sakura to wear?"

The blond seems mildly surprised and exclaimed, while taking out the said thing he requested. Sakura too has her attention to the pretty accessory.

"I was about to gift it to her, since her hair bangs are a hindrance to her insecurities. How did you know?"

"Just being observant to how my classmates interact with her, you tell me, they'd done a reprehensible job for all those years, minus Naruto and the Huyga heiress, or some other kids we know, obviously.

I'd tried my hardest not to either punch a fist to their sorry faces or have the principal suspended or expulsed them for good."

Sasuke took the ribbon from Ino's hand and tied it on top of Sakura's head, hindering her bands from nearly cover her eyes.

Sasuke surveyed his handiwork on her, as if he scanned on a piece of art he first looked at.

She looks like an adorable bunny with that beautiful facial expression of hers. Her pink locks, her sweet scent, her charmingly wide forhead that makes me think to kiss it or to poke it.

Sakura looks flustered as Sasuke, a boy her age checking on her. Ino watched the two with curiousity.

After a minute or so, Sasuke was gratified with his 'masterpiece' and decided to walk Sakura home as he had made up in his mind for the nth time.

He grabbed Sakura's hand firmly yet gently, to which Sakura timidly held it back, to Ino's shock and dismay.

Like he was just reas her mind, Sasuke spoke out what he was sure will transpire in years later.

"Hn, don't look like it's the end. There'll be a few members from ROOT coming to the village in the near future. I'm sure there'll be someone that catch your interests. There are many fishes in the sea, people said."

Ino was caught with what he just said. A smile bloomed on her lips, a hopeful thought she has at the prospect of fiding love again.

As they said goodbye, more Sakura do the saying, Sasuke only saluting to Ino who joyously waving back, her crush for Sasuke long forgotten.

They went opposite ways. The two kids walked in silence.

He asked Sakura for directions and she pointed them for him to lead. He remembered them all vividly.

Too quiet to start a conversation, but he wants to know what were her thoughts on his declarations earlier, if they made her nervous or uncomfortable. He started first and it startle her, much to his dismay.

"Hey, are you alright? You're unusually quiet. Was it about anything i said?"

Sakura said nothing but a small "No", shaking her head lightly, her hand interlaced with his.

Of course she wouldn't say anyword more, she was afraid, she was lonely, she has no one to befriended before Ino. Sasuke tried to comfort her, but he isn't good with words. They saw the familiar two-story yellow house in the civilian district.

Sakura let go of Sasuke's hand and rang the doorbell.

A few seconds later, the door opened by a blond woman with forest green eyes. To Sasuke, he knows where Sakura got her temper and fierceness from.

Because the moment Mebuki's look landed on her daughter, it turns from fiery to worrysome.

"Sakura, where have you been?

I was going to look for you, at the same time when you appeared so sudden."

She spoke in a slightly raspy tone as she scanned her daughter's appearance, Mebuki then noticed a boy standing besides her daughter, looking at Sakura with an unreadable face.

"And who are you? Wait, you're Uchiha Sasuke, right? Mikoto-san's favorite little son. It's nice to see you again, it's been a while since i last saw you when you were just a baby. "

Sasuke, for once had never known when or how his mother's and Sakura's happened to be friends, along side Naruto's.

The three woman together had formed a team in their childhood, concidentally like their respective fathers. That he'll had to look into more when he had his chances.

"Yes, it's an honor to meet you again, Haruno-san.

I was escorting Sakura home, since she's gotten bullied on her way from school."

Sasuke can feel his hatred surfaced at the mention of her beatings by a bunch of good-for-nothing brats, an ugly purple b***h with a striped dress, her birdbrains for lackies, an imbecile porcupine head and a ridiculous afron airhead. Just a flash of those brutes make him want to go on bloodhunts.

If they ever show their eyesore of faces again in the future and have a brief thought about ending Sakura's life, he'll definitely be there, ready to end theirs.

"What, if it's that bratty purple girl and her group again, i'll report to their teacher and their parents."

Mebuki was furious about those insolent pigs who tried to harm her darling child.

"Hn, you don't have to worry about them anymore, i'd taken care of it. They will never bother Sakura again, if they still do, i'll make them suffer."

"That's a relief. To thank you for protecting and bringing my daughter back, why don't you cone in and join for our dinner?

I'm sure you're still have time to spare for that, aren't you?"

Mebuki wants to treat Sasuke for the things he'd done today in Sakura's honor and safety. Furthermore, she suspects that the young Uchiha's in love with her daughter.

Mebuki thought at first it was just a silly crush like girls at that age. But the loving gaze Sasuke was aiming at her flower bud before had her wrong there.

It was the same look her husband would give her, or how Minato would with Kushina.

Even the stoic Uchiha Head, Fugaku would also melt when he glances at Mikoto. Oh, how she missed her dear old friends.

"No, Kaa-san, i don'think Sasuke-san has time for this."

Sakura protested, but Sasuke on the other hand, he agreed, much to Sakura's surprise and Mebuki's joy. She urshered both her daughter and her guest into the house.

"How wonderful to have you here, even if it's only for a few hours, since you say you have training with your Father, right?

That's terrific, since i'd just met you brother, something about transport informations to the Hokage tower."

Mebuki let Sasuke had a sit opposite to Sakura's father, with Sakura no where to be, she must be with her mother in the kitchen, preparing dinner. It was awkward to sit in front of his future wife's father, for a six-years old.

I'm so nervous, i have to asked Kizashi-san's permission for Sakura's hand, again. I'd gone too far with Sakura last time. What if this time's not the same. No, i'm an Uchiha, and what an Uchiha wants, an Uchiha gets. Even though they must not show nervousness.

"What's wrong, boy? Cat got your tounge? Or is it that you got it burned from training with flames?"

And the pink-haired man laughs at his own jokes.

Sasuke sometimes lost in those laughters too when he actually found them hilarious. Sakura doesn't like her father's lame puns, and maybe Sasuke himself, too.

But the truth is, the both of them still enjoy those cheesy jokes that can erupt joyful chuckles, giggles and smiles with grins.

"No, sir. I'm here with Sakura in hopes of getting to know more about her family, and for purposes."

Sasuke dreads what his future father-in-law would react when he knows a toddler, from the Uchiha clan's main house no less, asks for his only child, his daughter's hand in marriage at the early age of 6, not waiting for the legitimate age, or older enough to swoop her away from her home.

"Oh, and what it might be, for you to wish to seek in this humbly, simple, cilivian family of the Harunos?"

Kizashi asks the future Uchiha heir with an air of curiousity. Sasuke gulps silently, and muttered mutely

"Can i ask for your daughter's hand in marriage?"

He had spoken out the question.

"I'm sorry, boy. Can you repeat what you just speak a bit louder?"

It's not Kizashi was scared, he just want to hear what the Uchiha boy just said that might change his view on him.

"I said, i want to marry your daughter, sir. So can i have your permission?"

Sasuke said in an earnest voice, his head held high, his pose was straightened. His eyes were serious.

The Haruno patriarch was in his mid-sip of his tea when he stopped at what the young boy just said. His face was puzzled, his whole body frozen, his tea cup, between in his hand and the rim on his lips.

It was quiet, before all crashed down.

"YOU WANT TO WHAT?"

Kizashi spat his tea on his newspaper and roared out his question, Sasuke jumped a little at the max volume the shout was.

"Your daughter, Sakura is the one i decided to marry and be with for the rest of my life. So i asked you to do so."

Sasuke won't back down from a war for Sakura's hand in marriage, and he sure won't accept losing so easily.

"Is this some kind of child's play?

Who do you think you are, asking my permission to proprose my daughter, at such an early age? Do either your parents or your brother know about any of this?"

Many adults would gladly gave their daughter to one of the members in a clan, the Uchiha clan the most, since it's the strongest and the most powerful clan, a clan who cherishs love like no others.

Yet the light-hearted, jolly, goofy man in front of him becomes stern and overprotective of his only daughter, gives him many challenges to test his love for the man's precious gem.

Sasuke began to understand why Sakura's parents were his favorite villagers to tolerate with.

"I'm Uchiha Sasuke, and what i said isn't a game. I want your daughter because i love her and she's the only one for me.

I will stop at nothing until i get your permission for her hand in marriage.

I swear on the Uchiha's name and honor. I'll even wait til we're 12 to settle down and tie the knot."

Sasuke knows 12 years isn't appropriate for marriage but, if he convinces his sensei and the Sandaime with the name of the future Uchiha patriarch, he will marry Sakura, at any costs as possible.

And besides, Sakura had waited years for him to return and reprocrate her love, so he can wait for years to earn her love and marry her.

"12?! You want her to marry so soon or is it for the benefits of repopulate your clan? Because you're gravely mistaken, our Sakura isn't someone for that kind of job that you Uchihas need for!"

Kizashi has irkmarks covered his wide forehead, his hair was more frazzled than usual, his eyes were dialated.

"No, Haruno-san, i wouldn't dare or even dream of using Sakura for that sick purpose for my clan.

The reason i want to marry her is because, Sakura's important to me more than anything else. She means the world to me.

She's everything i'd ever need. She's the light to my life and my whole clan.

She's perfect to me in everyway. She completes me and fill me whole. She's different to other girls.

She's my spring sunshine and i treasure her. My entire clan would adore her, and proud of her, for her potentials in the future.

I just want to be by her side all the time, grow old with her, never leave her for another. I'll be anything to her as long as i can be with her.

So please, can i have your permission for her hand in marriage?"

Sasuke'd give up his pride, his dignity, his ego for Kizashi to accept him as his son-in-law and Sakura's lifetime mate.

He even bows til his forehead was pressed to the floor.

The said man was eyeing him skeptically, looking for any suspicions or lies in his eyes, his arms were warped in front of his board chest, fingers thumping.

"Mebuki, Sakura, you can come out now, the boy has spilled his beans."

Sasuke was still in his bowing position when the two mother and daughter go out at the right time, as if they'd heard the whole confession.

The four were sitting on tanami mats, the parents by each other, and the boy with their daughter at their opposite.
Tension was looming over, but it was soon lifted off when Kizashi said.

"Uchiha Sasuke, you can look up now."

Said black-haired boy immediately shot up from his current pose. His forehead was red from being pressed too hard on the floor surface. He didn't dare to look up at Kizashi.

"You're just like your father, as i expected."

Sasuke looked up from his clasped hands on his lap. Kizashi has a warm smile on his face, eyes wrinkled with joy. Mebuki also has a similar expression.

It's like she tried to resist her laughter from erupting. Kizashi continued to his eager-to-be son-in-law.

"If you're curious why your father and i knew each other is because, we were in the same squad years ago."

Sasuke was stunned, he had heard many things from Sakura's father, but being in the same squad with his father is new to him.

Kizashi told more to him about his father's past.

"Fuga-Paru isn't the person you see everyday as your father. He's very much different in the past. Rebellious, chillaxing, and quite facetious.

He used to take lightly on the title of the heir of the Uchiha clan, and living his life as a carefree, jovial boy who has no problems and can be himself."

Sasuke thought back to the man he met this morning.

The stern man who barely smile and not an expressive person much.

What had made him, from a rapturous boy who laughs merrily everyday with the same man whose daughter is his future wife, into the man he knows as his cold and ruthless father?

"He was lively when he had freedom to be a normal boy. But when the third Ninja World War happened, he'd changed, no longer himself anymore.

His brother, he was perished during his fight. And the former clan head gave your father his title. As a result, your father couldn't be with his team anymore.

That's why your father had to give up his former life to take training lessons on ruling the clan.

Sometimes i could still hear his distant laughter somewhere in the village.

When i was informed that he was a father of Itachi and later of you, i was very happy to see his joyful face again.

He invited me both time when your brother and then you were borned.

To know that one of his sons was in love with my daughter was very surprising to me. I thought it was the other way around.

I, at first would had thought Mina-Badi's boy would be the one Sakura be with, maybe i was wrong."

"Tou-san! It's not like that between us."

Sakura's face flushed cutely, her mother giggles a bit, and her father was laughing awkwardly.

Sasuke was flabbergasted at what information he just received.

He was a little dissapointed that his soon-to-be father-in-law would think of Naruto first. But he was glad he got to her first.

Mebuki looks to him, to his curiosity and said what might be the reason why he'd once seen Sakura as ignorant on the day their team was formed.

"Sasuke-san, at first i din't want my daughter to approach Naruto, since his current status in the village due to the incident. So i'd warned her about it.

But seeing you want to redeem your clan's honor of a misunderstanding, i'd realized now.

It was wrong of me to want my daughter not interacting with one of my best friend's son that had to endure the harshness, and cruelty of the village his parents had saved and had to live all by himself.

I'd thought that my Sakura shouldn't befriend a demon child for personal family reasons you shouldn't know until you're older."

"Okaa-san, you said it like it was a bad thing, Naruto deserves to be respected, he was just an innocent boy.

How can people mistreat him when he was so recognizable? It's unfair!"

Sasuke looks toward her, eyes widen in shock. Sakura wasn't always mean to Naruto back when they were Genin. She may punch him regulary, but she still nice toward him, in her way.

But she wasn't like that, she was forced to act like that because her mother forbid her to.

The blond woman looks at her small daughter, smiles at her incredibly overprotectiveness for the blond boy. The so-called demon boy that many hated and feared of.

"Life sometimes could be cruel to the misfortuned ones, Sakura.

People could be blinded by lame rumors, by false belief and not reconsider first or look into more about those they thought to be problems."

Sasuke looks back to his future father-in-law. Naruto won't have to live that life anymore.

"You don't have to worry about it, Haruno-san. As soon as we seldom our misunderstanding with the Hokage. We'd take Naruto in and treat him like family. He won't have to endure it any longer."

Kizashi's eyes widened, so was Mebuki's and Sakura's. The Haruno Patriarch then smiles at the boy.

"Well, i'm glad to hear that. I'd always wanted to get along with that boy. We seems to share many incommons and see things in the same way."

Sasuke nods, his small fists on his folded knees, his head was tilted down.

"It would be great to see the sons of my two best friend living under the same roof, bonding over like real brothers.

And Sasuke, you can call me Tou-san.

It must be fate for you and Sakura to have fate intertwined together. You know that you were named after Sarutobi Sasuke, the Sandaime's father and one of the greatest Samurai ever?"

Sasuke nods since knows since he had briefly heard about it from his mother.

"But do you know what's the name of his wife?"

Sasuke shook his head slowly, disappointed of himself for not remembering a minor detail from the origins of his name.

Mebuki answers for him.

"Well, Sasuke. Her name was Sarutobi Sakura, the spring empress."

Both Sasuke's and Sakura's head snapped up at this. Sakura had heard of the history of the Sarutobi clan. But she couldn't remeber the names of those that seemed unimportant. Who would have thought she was named after an empress?

"Yep, it was my idea to named Sakura after her. In hopes that someday, you and her will be like them. Falling in love deeply more than any bonds in the ninja world.

And i'm glad it happened eventually.

My daughter fell in love with you when she'd seen first you with your brother in the training grounds.

I remember seeing her, rushing back home and telling me that, she found her true love in your cheery smile."

Sakura's face reddened again. She squeaks at her father, to Sasuke's amusement.

"Otou-san, that was supposed to be a secret between us!"

Sasuke brightened visibly at his approval. One major step has been acomplished. Now he needs their help to convince the village for Naruto's naviety.

"So you'll help us with it right? If i ever become the clan Head?"

The pink-haired man nodded.

"Sure, sure. Believe me, the Sandaime had visited us multiple times for tea. And he shows fondness to our Sakura like every kid he met.

Plus, we used to work for him as Jounins, and retired shinobis wouldn't lose their moves after a while.

The reason we chose to remain Genin is because we want to ptotect our daughter away from being a subject in the bingo book by us doing.

It wouldn't be so hard to tell him, and convince him that the Uchihas had nothing to do with the incident. What kind of council elders had he hired to doubt a clan works in the police force? Unbelievable!"

Mebuki also state her own opinion about the relisation.

"Indeed, i tell you for sure.

The Uchihas may have eye techniques to control the Tailed-Beasts. But that doesn't mean, they were the ones, responsible for those incidents caused by them.

It's unfair and unrighteous of the concil to put the blame on the Uchiha clan.

So it's best if they were exposed and be sent to punishment or death penalty, and the Uchiha clan would be cleared of their misunderstanding."

"Right. I'll make sure my Tou-san is informed of this nefaurious plan, that the elders were plotting.

I'll tell him as soon as i come back.

If you excuse me, Kizashi tou-san, Mebuki kaa-san, Sakura. I had a business that need discussing with my father. So i'll be on my way.

Thank you for your hospitality. And thank you for entrust your daughter's life to me.

Sasuke quickly stood up. With a bow to his future in-laws, he dashed to the front door. Sakura went after him outside, shouting for him to wait. She had something to say with him, personally. Luckily, he stopped.

"Sasuke-kun, wait! I have something to tell you.

Sasuke turns to her, standing outside the door frame. She looks shyly at him. He waited tentively for her to speak up.

"What is it, Sakura?"

She walked closer to him, closing the diatance between him. They standing there, inches from each other. Then Sakura did something he thought she wasn't bold enough to do.

She kissed him. Right on the lips. It was a small peck, but it lingers long enough for him to still feel it.

The both of them blushed beet red.

"I'm sorry Sasuke-kun, i didn't mean it. It was supposed to be a kiss of good luck. Or a lifetime promise. But i didn't want you to think of me as superfici---"

"Sakura! I'd never thought bad of you. I'd always been in love with you.

There's nothing could tear us apart."

The pinkette was out of her flustered state. She smiled at him as he smiled back. With instincts, he said again.

"You're the most precious person to me. And i wish my dear ones no harms and suffering from the lives of a shinobi. I had to speak with tou-san, so my clan won't cause further destruction to our village, that includes hurting you."

Sakura shook her head, as she takes his hands in hers, interlacing them.

"Don't be so selfless all the time, Sasuke-kun. I don't want you to carry such responsibily. At least let me shoulder your burdens.

Even if it's just a bit, i'd always by your side, no matter what. You can count on my to be there, and take over what's troubling you. I'll understand.

And if you don't, i'll wait for you."

Sasuke widens his eyes. His mouth was apart a bit. He smiles his special smile which is reserved for only her.

He then does a familiar gesture that he learned from his brother, that was also used by Sakura. The gesture to them that was known as the ultimate express of love to only three Uchihas.

He pokes her charmingly wide forehead with his index and middle finger, a gentle expression on his face. Sakura blushes at the intense look.

"I'll hold onto that promise. I'll see you soon. And thank you, Sakura.

Until next time, we'll meet again."

With a wink that might flirtatious from him, he runs with a blush on his face from the act. Leaving behind him was a tomato red Sakura with steams puffing from her ear and above her head.

Nonetheless, she waves back with a smile on her face.

When Sasuke arrived to the dock, he was relief when his father was there, waiting for him. So his words were fully convinced, his brother must had stopped following Danzo's orders to eliminate their clan.

"Tou-san. I'm here as i'd requested."

Fugaku turns to see his son standing with a serious expression. He nods and he speaks in his monotonous voice.

"You know what you must do, Sasuke. Time is limited."

The young Uchiha nods as he walks toward pass his father, and performs hand signs that he'd learned by heart along time ago.

"Mi. Saru. Uma. Hitsuji. I. Tora!

Katon: Goukyaku no Jutsu!"

He blows a medium sized flameball, but it was big enough to light the entire surface of the lake.

The Uchiha patriarch watched with an impassive look. If looked more closely, his eyes could be seen widened a bit at his son's achievement. Then he said something Sasuke would have glad to hear, but this time he wasn't.

"As expected of my son, well done."

Instead of being overjoyed, Sasuke still had his serious expression.

"If you excuse me, Sasuke. I have to go back to the headquaters. Itachi must be home by now, waiting for you. So don't try to do anything reckless while training."

"No, father, i actually have something to discuss with you."

Fugaku stops his way out.

He turns to meet his son, Sasuke didn't have anything to joke, his face mirrors his father's expression.

"And what ist it about?"

"Your coup d'etat on destroying the village."

Fugaku didn't say or react anything, but Sasuke still see the brief surprise on his stern face.

"It's not your business to interfer into my job, Sasuke."

"It's mine too if i manage to do the traditional clan jutsu. Now tell me, father. I want you to stop this insanely plan of yours. This won't brought us any good results.

Only bad concequences."

Sasuke won't be a coward anymore. He'd stand up to his own father, if it means to prove his brother's words.

"This is a way for us to show the village that the Nine-Tail incident didn't have anything to do with us. Show them the vengance that we Uchihas had planned for misunderstanding us."

Sasuke's onyx eyes narrowed more as he tried his best not to activated his Sharingan. He wouldn't risk losing his family again.

Even if it's their own gravely mistake.

"I know what you've been doing, tou-san. You'd sent nii-san in as a spy in the village to collect informations. But i won't let our clan taking control over Konoha."

"And how will you do that, son? Unless you like your brother, there's no way you could do anything to prevent it."

Sasuke didn't want to be brought out to compare to his elder brother. So use all the courage he said out loud for the whole erea to hear.

"Then i'll be the one to become the clan patriarch. Nii-san will be my advisor.

Whether you like it or not, tou-san. I'll lead the clan to the bright path and a bright future to the village. I'll change the whole village's view on us. I'll make you proud, not like nii-san, but as myself."

Fugaku didn't say a word at all. He was considering his youngest's words. Sasuke didn't wasnt to follow his brother's footsteps like a mere shadow.

He wants to do better on hiw own.

After a few pregnant pause, the Uchiha patriarch said.

"Hm, you spoke such bold words, son. Your brother did come here and tell me that he didn't want to become the next patriarch. Instead he wants you to. I know i had been too hard on you to become like your brother.

But it's my way to encourage you to be strong, be brave. Don't let anything prevent your way to success.

I'll talk with the elders about your btother's decision on letting you taking his future position. We still have to figure out who was the real culpit for releasing the Nine-Tailed beast."

Sasuke had a nervous expression now. He spoke calmly, yet still panic.

"The truth is, tou-san. Half of it was technichally our fault. Moreso, a clansman of ours."

The stoic man's posture become rigid. He kneels down on his knees in front of his son, to his eye level. Could it be true that the Uchihas were part of it. Has someone in the xlan tried to betray them? He must find out now.

"And who might it be Sasuke? Who would spineless enough to do so?"

"I had done researchs on all of the possible culpits in the clan. And the most suspicious of all is someone we thought had long deceased due to a sacrifice. To clear nii-san's suspicion of the one who's responsible for Shisui's death. And reveal the schemes of the Konoha elders of eliminating our clan.

His name is Uchiha Obito."

Suddenly it became quiet. Sasuke saw his father's face darkened a bit.

His eyes looked murderous and he could tell the calculating wheels are spinning in his head.

"Obito? Hakate Kakashi's former teammate? Last i heard of him was from his grandmother. She'd said something about a fatal mission that had caused his female teammate's life. That had led him to suicide.

The only memor he left is one of his Sharingan eyes.

He left it to Hakate to branded it. It was an opposing rule to lend a noble clan's most powerful Kekkei Genkai to a non-related outsider. Especially without the clan's notice or permission.

But the question is, did he get revived? By who and for what purpose? It must be something important.

Judging by the recent event occured years ago, this person must either holding grudges agaisnt us or trying to lead us to a different path from Konoha by their ways.

We must find him at all once, and force him to tell who was behind this scheme that involved the Tailed beasts. Then it will be all over."

Sasuke nods. That was when his father moved to another topic.

In the mean time, you might as well find a suitable wife to be the matriarch."

His son began to blush as he looks down. His serious becomes one that just recently caught red-handed.

"Actually, i already did..."

Fugaku arches a brow slightly, interested in who could be his future daughter-in-law. He did tried to find a girl in the clan to match with his eldest. But since Sasuke would be the one to become the patriarch, he just want to make sure that he'd chosen a girl decent enough for the clan.

"And do i know this girl that you chose, Sasuke?"

Said boy was hesistant a bit. But through by through he won't let anyone stand in his way to being with Sakura for the rest of his days.

Not even his father's satndards.

"Haruno Sakura. Tou-san, i decided that i won't chose a girl from the clan. Since none of them is for me.

Sakura may not an Uchiha by blood. But her love is just as strong as one could be, if not more than one themself. I fell in love with her the moment i first glanced her way.

She has potentials, eventhough she's from a normal family.

She'll do great feats in the future. Something that most Uchihas lacked of. Medical ninjutsu. And she'll help me rebuilding the original number of our clan population. So don't you think about seperating away from her at all costs. I'll never give up on her, tou-san.

Just you wait, our clan will be more powerful and more well-known with her in it."

Fugaku had heard of the word 'Haruno' before. It was the surname of his former teammate when he was a teen. How he missed those days when he could still be himself.

"Haruno Sakura? You mean Kizashi's little girl?"

Sasuke nods, a little shyly as he thought about the girl with pretty pink hair and bright green eyes.

He thought that his father would disapprove like he had expected. But instead he nods, seemingly approvingly with a small smirk on his face.

"Seems like we're going to be in-laws in the future, Kizashi.

If only Minato was here to know."

Sasuke looks at him curiously, as if he was aksing him a question. Knowing the look, Fugaku began to explain to his son about his past.

"Haruno Kizashi and i used to be teammates, along with Namikaze Minato, or the Yondaime.

I first met him at this very dock whenni was your age.

I swore i'd never met someone close to him at all. His hair is unique and a bit too feminine. The thought that he was able to capture the hearts of the whole village was still baffled me to this day. Not only this village but everywhere he goes. That's highly incredible."

The boy was amazed that his father was openly praised someone that wasn't from the clan.

"One afternoon, i was feeding the fishes when he showed up at nowhere all so sudden. He acted normally at first, then he asked me if i could be his friend. At first i misthought his intentions.

But he said he was new here then and he wanted to make friends. He even brought pastries to give people he met.

He tried to give me one but i refused. He thought i was in bad mood so he cracked a joke that may light-hearted but not so much hilarious. I barely snorted back then.

Then he tried to do some move but his foot slipped and he fell into the lake. I reached near the edge to see whether he was alright.

He merged up later and on his head was the most ridiculous thing i had ever seen in my life.

His pink head was filled with squirming fishes as if it was a fishnet."

Sasuke stiffles a laugh along with his father upon hearing this. It was really hilarious imagening his bright future-father-in-law's hair was once used as an equiment for fishing.

"It was the first time since forever that i had laughed out loud. I'd laughed so hard til my stomach ached.

He released the fishes afterwards, sputtering apologies to them.

And that was then i knew i could get along with him well. And i didn't regret it at all. Kizashi, deapite his wild antics and boisterous attitude, he's never failed to amaze me.

He's smart in practically everything during our Academy days. He scores perfectly in every written test.

No one can outsmart him, and Minato had playfully declared him as his rival.

And so was i. But the thing is there's more to him that most of us will never undestand. He's easy to read, yet can still be mysterious, like he was hiding something that was enormous.

To this day, i still couldn't figure it out."

Sasuke hums silently, deep in thoughts. He feels the same way whenever he's around Sakura.

"Aside from that, he's one of the nicest people i'd ever met. He knows how to get his way into people's hearts. Eventhough his appearence might be a hindrance to his social life, but he was still opmistic and get throught it.

"Minato and i were lucky to be his friends. To me, he maybe the luckiest in all three of us. He even got married before i do.

You want to know a secret, Sasuke?"

The boy was eager to get to know something confidential that his father will share to him.

"The woman who Kizashi married to, who is your future mother-in-law, was the woman i used to have a crush on."

Sasuke gasped nearly audibly. His father used to like someone else before his mother? That's unbelievable! He wonders if his mother was the same?

"You know, Kizashi had confessed to me long before that, he's also used to have a crush on your mother."

Again, gasp internally this time.

"It's hilarious, really. I like Mebuki in a quiet way. I'd admired her strength, her fierceness, for so long that i didn't notice your mom til late our late teenage years. And Kizashi, he was smitten with your mom like a puppy and would do anything to appease her.

Love is a strange and confusing thing. It may not explainable, but that was so special about Uchihas.

If Sakura could make you feel that way, then i'm sure she will make a fine Uchiha. If she isn't act like one already. Like your brother's fiance, Izumi."

Sasuke didn't know his brother had already engaged.

"The thing is Sasuke, there still someone out there who would try to eliminate us. Your brother had informed me that the Sandaime's advisor, Shimura Danzo would use him to kill us. But for you, he changed his mind, as long as we stop our plan.

I'll go talk with the elders and the Hokage, privately.

You go back home and prepare yourself for what will be your future. I'll look forward to seeing your true achievements as a future patriarch."

Sasuke will hold onto that promise.

He'll make his clan proud with the bright path he intended to guide it.

With a hand seal, he vanished and teleported himself back to the compound. The family pet, Shiro the shiba canine rushes out to greet his owner.

Sasuke lifts him up by his upper legs.

"Shiro, you won't believe what i've been through this morning."

The dog still wagging his tail while poking his tounge out. The boy has told his dog about all his day story.

"And she kissed me. That was the best part. I'll make sure that everyday with her is the best. I can't act like a kid anymore, i have a huge responsibility to take over. This will be the day i made an oath."

When Sasuke heard his mother's call for dinner, he rushes in to assist her.

He saw his brother already there helping her with setting the table. His father would be back soon after dealing with the incident.

Then the first step of his plan would be accomplished.

After dinner, Sasuke had decided to take a quick shower and go to sleep early.

In his bedroom, the boy keeps staring at the ceiling at what he did the whole day. Sasuke knows thst he'll have to start over again. For the world, and for his family. He'd activated fhe Sharingan earlier than his original age. Moreso than his brother did.

He didn't know when will he get back the Rinnegan, but the raven haired boy hoped it would be soon. With that the Uchiha closes his eyes.

Sasuke looks around in a foggy void.

It appears that he was in a dream. It wasn't a nightmare, so he thought it could be a sign for something.

He spots a glowing orb floating toward him. It approaches him slowly and Sasuke watches cautiously of what it's movetives are. The small orb seems harmless as if it was telling him something, by the way it was shaking lightly. He was confused.

Suddenly, the orb shot into his left eye, making Sasuke gasps in surprise.

He holds his eye as the scenery began fading into white.

Sasuke's eyes shot up as he rose from his bead in a sitting position. He darts to the mirror on the bedside. And his eyes caught what the orb from his dream has done to him.

The Rinnegan in place of his black left eye once used to been.

Could it be the orb was someone's consciencous that was telling him something?

Sasuke inspects the eye with his hand.

There was one advantage from having it again. He can deactivate it whenever he wanted, like with the Sharingan. Sakura had already witnessed the awakening the first phase of his kekkei genkai. So he wouldn't have to be worried about her telling this to anyone else. Since she's good at keeping secrets. He xan always trust her.

With the new reformed Rinnegan, he'll have more advantages at making this second chance of time redemption better than ever.
