Chapter 42

Alexis's POV -Age 10

"Nii-San, the world is dead to me, I don't want to be bothered for a while." I say as I walk into my room. I can hear Itachi's laugh from where I stand.

"Come on Alexis, I said I was sorry." Logan says from my window.

I scowl at him. "Yeah right, like I said, the world is dead to me, I'm soaking wet, my glasses nearly got destroyed, and I had to save your butt from going down a water fall." I say and Itachi stands next to me, just smiling.

"You should be nicer Alexis, maybe you'll grow to like saving people lives and become a medical ninja." Itachi says and Logan nods in agreement.

"That's it, I'm changing and then I'm gonna go see Mikoto-Sensei and Shikaku-San, because unlike you Logan, they are sane in the head." I say and Logan falls off the side of my window and I grab his foot in a split second to save him from hitting the ground harshly. "I should just let you go, but you'd ruin Mother's flower bed." I say to Logan.

"You guys make a good team." Itachi says to us and Sasuke walks into the room.

"Big brother can you train me?" Sasuke asks as I pull Logan up through the window.

"Logan, you are such a pain, why are you so heavy?" I ask and Itachi laughs at that.

"I'm a boy, what do you expect, besides I bet your even heavier, you look like you weigh a billion pounds." Logan says to me with a scowl.

Suddenly the room gets cold and everyone but me freezes.

"What did you say Logan? You want me to kill you? Sounds like a plan." I say and Logan starts to freak out.

"I mean, you look light, like a feather." Logan says and I punch him in the stomach and I throw him out the window and he successfully lands in the trash.

"Stay where you belong." I say to Logan and Itachi cracks a nervous smile while Sasuke hides behind him.

"Big sis is scary." Sasuke says and Itachi nods.

"She's a mini version of Mother, except way scarier." Itachi says and I move part of my damp bangs to the side.

"Ok, now that, that was handled, I'm gonna change and then go challenge Shikaku-San to a Shogi match, it ended in a tie last time." I say with a kind smile that says 'double-cross or insult me, your dead'.

"Yes Ma'am." Sasuke says and I pat his head before walking into the bathroom.

Alexis's POV -Age 13

I grin and hug Itachi. "Your an ANBU captain now, I'm so happy for you." I say and Itachi laughs and hugs me back.

"Thanks Alexis, but your a Jonin, act like it." Itachi says and I pout and step back.

"Wait, Itachi, do you have a mission?" I ask and Itachi nods.

"That's what I came here to tell you, Mother and Father already know and so does Sasuke. I'm  gonna be a few days so take care of Sasuke for me." Itachi says to me with a small frown on his face.

I nod and then feel a hand on my shoulder, I instantly grab it and throw whoever touched my shoulder into a pile of rocks only to see it was Brother Shisui. "Sorry Brother Shisui, habbit from when Logan tries to scare me." I say with a nervous smile.

"It's fine, but next time, please don't throw me into a pile of rocks." Shisui says to me as he gets up. "But you have amazing strength, at this point you could surpass the Sanin if you wanted to." Shisui says and Itachi nods in agreement.

I laugh nervously and scratch the back of my neck. "It was just a reflex." 

"Well anyways, I came to tell you Alexis that Itachi and I are doing the same mission, so you don't need to worry about your brother." Shisui says and I smile at the two.

They really are close.

"I'm pretty sure Itachi can handle himself, but ok, just remember Shisui, if he doesn't come back alive, I'll have Hana neuter you." I say with a tint of evil in my smile.

Itachi laughs as Shisui pales.

"Yes Ma'am." Shisui says to afraid to object.

"Alright, you two get going, me, Kakashi and Anko were gonna meet up and I don't like to be late like Kakashi." I say and the two nod and disappear with a poof.

Alexis's POV -Age 14

I sit in the living room deep in though. "If I were to slightly change my strategy I could beat Shikaku-San at Shogi since he uses the same moves, he's getting cocky and his son is really lazy but smart, I'm never gonna figure this out, Shikaku is to mathematical." I say and Sasuke walks in with a frown.

"Big Sis, can we talk?" He asks.

I raise an eyebrow. "Sure Sasuke, come over here." I say and he sits across from me on the floor.

"Why does Father always praise you Itachi? Why doesn't he pay attention to me?" Sasuke asks with a frown.

"Well, me and Itachi are gonna be the head of two very essential parts of the clan, I'm getting the Konoha Police Force and Itachi is gonna get the clan, he's showing us how to do our job right I suppose, but me and Itachi do convince him to spend less time with the two of us since we have missions to do, and because of that Father has to keep watch over the clan and the Police Force, if you want to Sasuke, you can ask Father anything, he'll listen, he's done it for me and Itachi many times in the past, you can learn the basics of what me and Itachi do incase something ever happens while me and Itachi are gone on a mission, I'm sure Father will let you hang around him." I say and he looks even glummer.

I mess his hair up. "Don't look so down, come, I'll take you to Father and ask." I say and Sasuke nods with a grin. 

We get up and walk to his office and I knock.

"Enter."

Me and Sasuke walk in and sit down across from him and I put on a serious look.

"Father, I have a question for you." I say to him.

Father nods. "And that would be?"

"You spend a lot of time teaching me and Itachi what to do, I think you should teach Sasuke as well because something might happen while me and Itachi are on a mission and you and Mother are gone, he's gonna be the only one here and he'll have to take charge if that situation ever comes into play." I say to Father and he crosses his arms as we have a stare down.

"And you think I should teach Sasuke while he's still so young?" Father asks me.

"You started teaching me and Itachi when we were 4, during the war you showed us what the Shinobi world was like, that was the first thing you taught us and since then you've been paying attention to our progress, especially in my studies and Itachi's rankings in the Leaf Village and how much stronger he gets. If you won't teach Sasuke the basics, then at least spend more time with him." I say to Father and we continue to try an stare each other down.

"And why should you be prying in on how much time I spend with my son?" Father asks me.

"Because at this point the only people raising Sasuke is me, Itachi and Mother, he needs his father to teach him, just like you did with me and Itachi, you raised me and Itachi to be fine Shinobi so do the same for Sasuke, that's all I ask." I say and Father's eyes widen slightly.

"I don't think I ever taught you to speak up to me." Father says and we continue to stare each other down, the tension getting really thick between us while Sasuke waits next to me nervously.

"No, you didn't, but it's gone on too far Father, you need to pay attention to him or he'll end up resenting the Uchiha and especially you, I don't want to see hate being brewed in the clan and you know that Father." I say and Father sighs, giving up.

"Fine, but you have to do more work." Father says to me.

I smile at Sasuke and get up. "Right, I have training right now, me and Logan were supposed to meet up five minutes ago to work on our formations, after that I'll head to the Konoha Police Force building and sort everything out there." I say to Father and he nods.

"Big Sis." Sasuke says shocked.

I ruffle his hair with a grin. "Don't worry, it shouldn't take to long, while I'm gone, Father will spend some time with you." I say and Sasuke frowns but nods.

I walk and see Itachi smirking.

"Nice job." Itachi says and I sigh as we walk.

"Yeah, that was stressful, but everything I said was true." I say and Itachi nods.

"I didn't think you'd say everything straight forward like that though." Itachi says and I crack a smile.

"I'm not one to beat around the bush, you know that, but I can see where you think that, I normally don't speak up to Father at all unless I have a question involving the Uchiha and Leaf Village." I say to him.

"Yeah, well I have another mission and I have to miss the meeting later, can you go in my stead?" Itachi asks me as we get to the compound gates.

"Yeah, I have to go anyway, this meeting involves the Konoha Police Force and the Leaf." I say and we nod.

"Our lives are so stressful." We say with a sigh.

Alexis's POV -Age 15

"LOGAN!" I yell as he rushes in to battle way to quickly.

"Come on Alexis, this is no time to think." Logan says to me as his Byakugan activates.

I activate my Sharigan and sigh. "Your such a pain Logan." I say and kick an enemy ninja away that was about to strike his blind spot.

"Your a royal pain Alexis." Logan says and we continue throwing insults back and forth as we fight off the enemy ninja from getting anywhere near the Leaf Village.

Once their gone we deactivate our Do-Jutsu and walk back to the Leaf.

"Alexis." Father says at the gates.

I look at him. "I was taking out enemy ninja who were about to attack the Leaf, Logan helped, I didn't do anything wrong and also, I know there is a meeting later that I have to attend, don't remind me, I have everything planned out." I say and Father smirks.

"Good job, your photographic memory serves you well, you really are a prodigy." Father says and I walk to the Hokage office, not bothering to hear that again.

"Did you take care of the enemy ninja?" Itachi asks and I nod.

"Good job Alexis." Lord Hokage says and I nod in thanks. "Now, I hope you don't mind, but we're gonna test your skills Alexis. I already asked Fugaku and he said it was fine so long as we do it now." Lord Hokage says Logan laughs.

"Finally." Logan says and I look at him.

"I'm fine with it." I say to Lord Hokage as I turn my attention back to him.

"Itachi already took his test. So follow me." Lord Hokage says and I nod and follow him to a academy room and he hands me a paper. "Figure all this out with in 15 minutes, this is the first part." Lord Hokage says and I look it over.

"This is easy, I knew how to do this when I 6." I say and sit down while Itachi and Logan watch.

I easily breeze through this and I hand the paper back. "Done." I say with a smile.

"Good, now follow me again, your going to fight against Kakashi Hatake, Lord Hiashi, and Guy Might." Lord Hokage says and I sweat drop but nod.

"All at once sir?" I ask and he nods.

What a pain.

We get to a training area and I see the three there waiting.

"Alright, everyone get ready." Lord Hokage says and I nod along with the three I'm supposed to fight.

"I don't get the purpose of this test, but I won't fail." I say and Lord Hokage nods with a smile.

"And start." Lord Hokage says and I dodge Lord Hiashi's attacks with hardly any effort.

All I have to do is hit his blind spot and he's down.

I block Kakashi's Tanto and Guy's foot, just in time too otherwise I would have skewered. I dodge every attack they throw at me and when enough is enough I do a few hand signs in mid-air, Itachi instantly recognizing them.

"Fire Style: Mega Flame Ball Jutsu." I say, blowing blue hot fire out of my mouth and it hits Kakashi but he poofs into a log, and Guy appears behind me. I smirk and turn in mid air, blocking his fist with my forearm, I punch him in the gut, making him fall and I land next to him.

One down, two left.

Kakashi uses a Shadow clone to fight me but I easily destroy it and I knock the book out of his hand and elbowing him in the stomach, making him fall forward on the ground.

I dodge Lord Hiashi's attacks, and I hit his blind spot, making his fall on the ground next to the other two.

"Wow. Only one Nin-Jutsu attack and everything else was Tai-Jutsu." Lord Hokage says shocked.

"Sorry if I hurt you three." I say with a nervous smile.

"It's fine, because YOUR SO FULL OF YOUTH, YOUR LIKE A FLOWER THAT HAS NOT YET BUDDED!" Guy yells getting up with a grin.

I appear behind Itachi, hiding from the spandex, bowl cut haired guy and Itachi chuckles and pats my head.

"She was able to do all that and not even a spec of dirt is on her." Logan says shocked.

"Well yeah, it wasn't easy but I was watching their attacks and forming a plan in my head, it's like playing Shogi with only one piece against your opponent who has three pieces." I say and Logan looks at me confused.

"Isn't that almost impossible though?" Itachi asks and I shake my head.

"Not unless you have a battle strategy." I say and Lord Hokage smiles proudly.

"Your test is over, the point behind it was to test your skills to become a Chunin Exam Procter, Itachi has the patience but he's ANBU and too busy, he also suggested that you do it." Lord Hokage says to me with a smile.

I look at Itachi as he gives me a smile.

"You've been more busy than I have, I thought this would be a nice break." Itachi says and smile.

"Alright, I'll do it." I say and Lord Hokage nods with a smile and I look up. "I'm gonna be late for the meeting if I don't leave now." I say and Itachi looks up as well.

"Best not make the Uchiha mad, come on." Itachi says and I nod and we run to the meeting house in the Uchiha compound and we stand outside trying to catch our breaths and we walk in.

"Oh, good, the future of the clan is finally here, good to see you Itachi." One of the Uchiha representatives says to him and I roll my eyes and take my seat. "Oh, its the female."

"You know, that's very rude, I'm sure my Father wouldn't enjoy hearing that, too bad he's busy right now and me and Itachi are filling in for him for today." I say and Itachi sits next to me.

"I have a question, why are we leaving the Konoha Police Force in the girls hands?" Another Uchiha asks and Brother Shisui smiles.

"Because, out of her and Itachi, she's got the best qualities and people tend to listen to her better than Itachi since she's more well spoken and can handle the job very well." Shisui says to them and a few Uchiha snort.

"Do you have a problem?" I ask them and they look at me. "Because if you do, take it up with my Father later, I will not permit you to make remarks like this when my Father has made his decision, even if you disagree with it." I say and they pale slightly hearing the stern tone that sounds almost as stern as my Father's while Shisui and Itachi smirk at me.

"He made his decision?" Another representative asks and I nod.

"Itachi is to take over the clan when he's of age and I'm to take over the Konoha Police Force when I'm of age." I say to them.

Alexis's POV -29

Me and Kakashi walk with Sasha to the Uchiha Cemetery.

"Mom, why are we heading to this cemetery?" Sasha asks as her silver bangs cover her eye.

"Its the anniversary of my twin's death, who is also one of the uncles you haven't met yet." I say to her and she nods.

Kakashi squeezes my hand as he gives me a closed eyed smile. "Don't worry Alexis, Sasuke is coming back for the day to visit as well." Kakashi says and I smile at him.

"Is that so?" I ask and he nods.

We get to Itachi's grave to see Sasuke there. I walk up next to him, leaving Sasha with Kakashi. I place a flower down as Sasuke looks at the grave.

"You know something Sasuke? Itachi, no matter how hard things got for him, no matter how much you resented him, no matter what, even in his last moments, he always loved you, it didn't matter that you were going to kill him, he had an unending love for you." I say and Sasuke's eyes widen slightly at my words.

"And you?" Sasuke asks.

I smile at him. "I would have always been there for you if I was aloud and not tied down by an order, you may not think that killing Danzo was right, but he was the reason for the Uchiha to resent the Leaf, I would have killed him, I would have, but I would have been killed in return." I say and Sasuke nods as I stand up. "I know Itachi very well, he wouldn't want you to blame yourself for his death, he wanted his pain to end and he knew I could never do it, that's why he wanted you to resent him so you could kill him." I pause, looking at Itachi's grave, my heart aches a little but I smile. "Sasuke, would you like to meet your niece I ask and Sasuke's eyes widen slightly again.

"I have a niece?" Sasuke asks and nod with a smile.

"Sasha, come over here." I say and she runs over but trips.

"Oww." Sasha says sitting up to rub her forehead with a pout.

"You little klutz." Kakashi says and Sasha pouts and gets up and walks over to us.

"Sasha, this is your uncle, Sasuke, Sasuke this is your adorable niece Sasha." I say and Sasha looks up at him and he looks down at her and they stare at each other for a while as me and Kakashi stand there nervously.

"Uncle Sasu." Sasha says and jumps on him, surprising him and he falls backwards as she hugs him.

Me and Kakashi laugh at that and Kakashi places his arm around my shoulders and I place my arm around his waist as we watch the two, I smile while leaning my head against Kakashi's shoulder.

11 years later

"And now for this years teams." I say as I stand in front of the class of the new graduates, my daughter graduated two years early and is now sitting with Jess and Ally.

"Mom, why are you taking so long?" Sasha asks and I laugh as I look at the list.

I get to team 11. "Team 11 will consist of Jess Hyuga, Ally Hyuga and Sasha Hatake." I say and Ally gets up.

"WHAT! I HAVE TO BE STUCK WITH SILVER HEAD?" Ally yells and I crack up as Sasha throws a book at Ally's face, making her fall and lay on the ground dizzy.

"I'm fine with the arrangement." Sasha says and Jess nods in agreement.

"I WANT TO SEE THIS YEARS YOUTHFUL GRADUATES!" Guy yells down the hall.

I laugh nervously as Ten-Ten pushes his wheel chair into the room. "Hello Guy, here to see the students?" I ask.

"Mom." Sasha says in a low tone.

I look at her with a nervous smile. "GRADUATES, SCATTER!" I yell and they disappear along with me.

This isn't the end of the book, just a new chapter is about to begin, but this time, I won't have a part in it.

                                                                                        {The End}
