Akumi POV _________

I watched in amasment at Tsunade's chakra control, The precision and the way it moved and reacted to the body. The way she had enough precision to move the nerochemicals inside of Sasuke's mind to actually wake him up was mind boggling.

Sakura was there as well watching with interest. Both of us being medics and all we could see the amount of skill Tsunade had.

Sasuke stirred and slowly opened his eyes and I let out a breath I had been holding. "You're finally awake Sasuke."I say helping him sit up. They had already removed his feeding tube which they had put after he hadn't awaken after the second day.

"Here drink some water."Sakura Gently offered and Sasuke was looking around. "You've been in comatose for about a month." I told taking the cup from Sakura's hand and pressing it to his lips.

"We need to get you oriented then you can fill us in on what the hell happened, Is that understood."I say stubbornly knowing how Sasuke was when he wanted to be stubborn and do his own thing.

He hesitantly took the cup and drank some water. Naruto hurried into the room a look of relief etched across his face as he saw Sasuke.

Sasuke narrowed his eyes and frowned, he basically threw the cup at Sakura as he tried to stand up. "Fight me, Fight me narut-" I was furious.

Who the hell does this bastard think he is?! We aren't his maids and he spilled water on Sakura and I in his haste to get up.

My body reacted and I punched him so hard on the jaw he fell back on the bed. He looked over at me wide eyed.

"Who the hell do you think you are spilling water on?! HUH?!? You think you can go get yourself placed in a coma and then wake up like if it was nothing? In your condition the only way you are getting out of bed is over my dead body, and to be frank good luck on that you shrimp I'll end you the second you put a foot on the floor." I hissed I let out my killer intent and crushed the glass cup in my hand as I felt my hair rise in an ominous manner.

Sasuke stared at me wide eyed and scooted back slightly. "Ne Akumi-nee, your bedside manners still need alot of help. You can't threaten a p-patient." Naruto stepped back as I slowly turned to him.

"And aren't you suppose to be resting as well? That wound you received might be healed but you shouldn't be straining yourself. So tell me Nii-chan. What are you doing out of bed." I say omnious as he took a few more steps back.

"I w-wanted to check u-up on Sasuke-t-teme." He stuttered out and I slowly got up. "I told you I would bring you here in a wheel chair when he got up.

"B-but Granny Tsunade says I-I'm healthy and that I am allowed to move around just not t-train to hard." He stuttered out. "Still I told you to rest." I growl out and he gulped looking at the other two for help and they both looked away, Sasuke tenderly holding his cheek while on tear ran down his cheek from pain.

"Traitors." Naruto whispered as tears swelled in his eyes.
_____________________________

"And that is what happened. After that we returned to the village." Naruto was laying beside sasuke 'resting' and I was content knowing that they got along so well that they were sharing the hospital bed.

"So itachi is your older brother, huh." I say crossing my arms and Sasuke nodded. "But I don't understand why he is after Naruto, What is so special about you dobe?" Sasuke asked and Naruto stiffened.

"Sasuke, Itachi stated that they were after something inside of Naruto. Our Kekkei genkai's are very sought for. I also think Naruto inherited a stronger life force so his wounds heal faster than mine, He might also out live all of us because of how strong and dense his chakra is. Had our mother lived she might've out lived us as well, I researched her a bit and found that our mother had reserves large enough that she was able to hold down the nine tailed kyubii on the day of our birth hence why we were at the site of attack when we were found." I say crossing my arms. Naruto sat up.

"You knew things about our mother?!" He yelled wide eyed with tears trickling his eyes. "I snooped around the Ninja registration and looked through the files of every shinobi that died that day a few years back. I found her name but never had a chance to view her information since the old man Hokage would have noticed. Since there wasn't a Hokage recently I got in a bit easier." I grumble as I reached inside my shirt and pulled out a picture.

"I found this, Turns out that Fugaku knew our mother and she must've been friends with the Hokage, But the only person I was unable to Identify was the woman with black hair." I say handing them the picture.

Our mother Kushina Uzumaki was smiling while standing beside a black haired woman that was holding a small toddler with the Uchiha crest on his back and Fugaku was behind her and the fourth Hokage was there in civilian clothes smiling as well.

Sasuke stared at the picture wide eyed. "That's my mother, and my father." He mumbled as he looked at the picture.

I frowned. "Your mother and ours must've been good friends." I say looking away trying to hold back tears.

"She was so, she was really pretty. She looks alot like you nee-chan."Naruto sniffled as he began crying slightly. "Yeah, she was. I saw her Autopsy file. apparenlty she had already given birth to us or she gave birth to us in the battlefield while holding down the nine tails. She must've been dying from blood loss of the birth and..."I felt the tears running down my eyes.

"She was struck by the nine tails claw. Apparently all of her organs were ripped out and she died after the Third hokage arrived when she ensured to hand us over to him, I guess the old man was right she only had enough time to name us before she finally died." I say wiping my eyes.

Naruto was crying holding the picture close to his chest. Sakura was rubbing his back and trying to soothe my crying. My jaw hurt from holding back the tears. My muscles were tense and it hurt keeping myself composed.

"Sasuke you mentioned that the man in the picture was your father correct? So is... um so is Fugaku dead as well?" I asked quietly and he slowly nodded. "Ah, I see. I guess I will never be able to show him my gratitude for helping me all those years ago." I say nodding taking in a deep breath and holding it for a second while I tried to hold back tears.

"Were you able to find anything else out?"Naruto asked and I shook my head. "The rest of her files must be in the I&T unit. I was able to find her autopsy, birth certifiacate and death certificate and that picture. No mission records or medical records. They must be well hidden." I say. "But her birth certifiacate did say she was Princess Kushina Uzumaki from the land of Whirlpool. Guess we are from royal blood." I say with a small chuckle.

"Akumi-nee your jokes suck." He chuckled slightly as he wiped his tears.

"Sorry, can't help it." I say.

"So you think you can kill your genius brother with just the chiori?" I deadpanned trying to point out Sasuke's flawed logic.

"Look I am not saying you can't defeat him but you haven't mastered your Sharingan, you haven't specialized in your fighting technique and you aren't even researching everything that went down that night. You are also trying to take the advice of your Psychotic older brother." I say sipping my tea.

"Then what am I suppose to do?" Sasuke snapped making people glance at our table. "Maybe killing his best friend made him Psycotic and kill everyone in the clan or maybe all that power rushed to his head. You don't know anything about that so called power." Sakura pointed out.

"And I thought we had a crazy childhood."Naruto grumbled as he stuffed Dango in is mouth. "Then what am I suppose to do?!" he asked and I rolled my eyes.

"Have you tried to find out who Itachi had connections to? Anbu seniors usually train their kohai and well the leaf is known for creating crazy strong ninja." I pointed out.

"It's also known for driving their Genius to an early grave or insane. Take your pick. Sakumo Hatake commited suicide, Itachi killed his whole clan, Orochimaru killed and tortured villagers, Madara uchiha went rogue. The list goes on Yamanaka Chi went rogue in the middle of the third war. And each one of them had their motivation." I say rolling my eyes.

"Don't think I haven't spent months in the Psycotic ward not to know the kind of crazy strong shinobi they have locked up in there. Although some are fixed up and sent back out to the fighting. Ninja Villages are fighting machines and as long as you have at least one person keeping you rooted you stay sane." I added and he looked down.

"Thats.... thats horrible." Sakura stated and I nodded. "Academy students aren't told the statics of shinobi who go temporarily insane, civilian made shinobi are more than likely to go insane. Clan children are basically breed from lines of people who's genetics have evolved enough to disassocate with killing, Basically natural selection." I say shrugging.

"Some people don't handle their first few killings that well and with every mission involving a shinobi killing someone they get a small mental evaluation, well at least when you start killing after a while only if you look like you were traumatized or it was a comrades death do they do a mental check." I add.

"So you don't get a mental check?" Sakura asked and I shook my head. "Nah, I am over the after shocks. But I do have a mental evaluation every month, naruto's is every two months. But then again we watched kids murdered everyday so we are a... you know... special cases." I say.

"Akumi-nee." Naruto frowned since he hadn't told them about his check ups since he was a bit embarrassed. His cheeks were flushed.

"Tch I have checks as well, But I thought I was the only one. Mines are every six months." Sasuke stated leaning back and looking sheepishly. "Are you guys telling me that I am the only one considered stable enough to not go to a therapist?" Sakura muttered.

"Please take care of us Sakura, we the mentally depraived ones." I joke around and she let out a sigh. " Might as well learn as much as I can through my medical classes because you all need help." She sulked and I couldn't help but hold back a laugh.

"I wonder if sensei goes as well?" I say. "Go where?" I jump as I hear Kakashi sensei. "Sensei?! We were just talking about you, Do you have therapy sessions as well?" Naruto asked rather loudly.

Kakashi sweatdropped. "Most ninja don't like to talk about our therapy sessions with the Yamanaka. What has stirred the converstaion to this unholy topic?" he asked.

"I was commenting on how Sasuke shouldn't listen to anything Itachi has to say to him. The guy is like clinically insane. Then proceeded to say that all of the stronger ninja had a few screws loose." I say and Kakashi took a seat at our table.

"Here I was coming to talk to you about training but it seems m cute Genin are busy discussing mental health." Kakashi sighed.

"In a sense you are right, Have you seen the Jonin. Yeah there is something not right about them all. But most of us do go to therapy to make sure that everything is alright up here. It's useless to train and become strong if you can't keep your mental health.... healthy."Kakashi stated and I deadpanned at him.

"You didn't answer the question sensei." I say and he sighed. "It's mandatory that most of us go, just like you akumi. I had your therapist come and ask me to make sure you didn't go MIA when your therapy sessions came." he stated making me blush because he switched the situation on me.

"I only did that when I was younger." I stammer out embarrassed.

"Sensei did you know itachi?" Sasuke asked and sensei sighed. "Yes, but apparently I didn't know him too well. I didn't see it coming, the whole massacre either." Sensei sighed and we were all taken back. "How did you know him?" I ask and he hummed. "Just circumstances. They said A genius teaching another genius was a good idea, they put him under my guidance for a long while. but that is in the past now." He states.

"Anyway, training tomorrow at 7 a.m." He vanished in a poof of smoke.

"Was itachi an anbu?" I asked turnining to Sasuke. "Yes, why?" He was confused.

"Haven't you done your research on Kakashi sensei? He was a Genin at 5, Chunin at 6 and Jonin at 14. Anbu at the age of 14 and Anbu captin at 16. If itachi was put under his care then that means Sensei was Itachi's senpai and possibly teacher since Anbu captain train the newcommers. Meaning he also trained Itachi and even he doesn't know what caused Itachi snap. Honestly you guys have to get better at looking underneath what everyone says. He gave us clues." I say looking down at my tea cup.

"Seems like we are learining more and more about ya'lls past." Sakura stated as she sipped on her tea. Both boys grunted in agreement.

_______________________

Tsunade was made hokage and there was a large festival which lasted days. Construction was proitized since the winter months were coming.

The hospital was being reformed and all Medically trainined shinobi and personal were retrained and taught Tsunade's current methods and new discoveries meaning Sakura and I spent alot of time in the hospital studying.

Kakashi-sensei spent alot of time training the boys when he wasn't called out on missions and Kiba would bring me flowers every once in a while at the hospital and Naruto was getting suspicious of the amount of red roses I was coming home with.

But I had no idea on how to tell him about the date or how I did kinda liked Kiba.

Also naruto and I had gone to the the graveyard dedicated to all of what we called our fallen siblings. The Orphanage had been torn down and a memorial was placed there and a seperate graveyard was placed there, Some tombstones had no names while some did. Every grave was covered in red spiderlillies so patches were everywhere.

We decided to turn the graveyard into a small spiderlilly garden. Before we always had spider lillies grow here naturally seeming like if death was always present here. We stopped by and watered the flowers if there hadn't been much rain otherwise we barely came here.

_________________________

Our birthday had finally arrived. Naruto wasn't beaming or smiling. Our birthday marked two different mass murders. One was the kyubii attack and the second was the Greenleaf orphanage Massacre.

We dressed in black and I had packed a lunch for us. We planned to spend the day cleaning the graveyard stones and tending to the weeds and moss that had grown in the area.

We had taken to doing this every year since it happened. In a way all of those children were like siblings to us. We all suffered together and by chance only Naruto and I survived. We managed to escape the same fate. They weren't as lucky.

"Do you have all of the tools?" I asked Naruto as he glanced over the bucket full of gardening tools. "Yeah. everything is here, rags, shovels, rakes, gloves and anything else we might need." He grumbled a sad somber look to his usually grinning face.

"Then I guess we should go." I say picking up the picnic basket after slipping on my shoes. I opened the door to see Sakura grinning widely with two presents in hand, Sasuke and Kakashi sensei behind her.

"Happy Birthday Akumi, Naruto!" She cheered, Sasuke and Kakashi-sensei doing the same but just not as cheery.

"You guys." Naruto instantly began tearing up at the sight his eyes filling with tears before they streamed down his face. He sniffled loudly and wipped his already running nose with the back of his hand.

I felt my eyes water as well. Sakura looked confused for a second as she took in our appearance. We were wearing the same clothes we wore for the Thirds funeral.

"We thought we would bring you guys presents since it is your birthday." Sasuke stated slightly confused. I glanced at Naruto who was trying to calm down. "We brought gifts." Kakashi sensei stated and that made naruto sniffle even more.

"You guys have no idea how much this means to us." I say my voice slightly trembling as I held back my emotions.

"What were you guys planning on doing today? I hope we aren't interrupting any plans."

"No. It's fine Sakura-chan. We were just going to visit the other kids." Naruto sniffled out.

"Please come in." I say stepping to the side and letting them inside the apartment.

The lights were off and the natural sunlight kept the apartment well lit.

"This is for you akumi and this is for naruto." Sasuke handed me a present and then one to naruto. For a moment I felt my body tremble. The only person who used to give us presents was the old man so Naruto and I hadn't expected anything this year being that he passed away and couldn't accompany us to the memorial.

"T-thanks." whimpered out as I held the present tightly. Kakashi and Sakura had also brought a present and by now Naruto was sobbing loudly.

"Are you sure he is alright?" Sakura asked and I nodded. "This is the first time anyone other than the old man has come and visited us on our birthday, much less give us a gift." I say with a sad smile.

"But why- oh." Sakura grumbled looking down in embarrassment." Where you guys going to go out somewhere?" Sasuke asked as he noticed the packed picnic basket and the gardening tools. "Yeah, if you guys want you can come with us. It is what we do every year." Naruto stated and Kakashi hummed slightly.

"Mmmm well we did kind of intrude, I don't see why we all can't accompany you, I would also like to pay my respects." he stated and Naruto's face slightly lit up.

"Thank you sensei." naruto smiled and we were once again heading out this time I packed more food for lunch.

Suprisingly they didn't ask where we were going and followed behind us quietly. I lead seeing that Nii-chan was horrible with directions.

We walked through the woods until we finally came to a clearing. Spider lilies covered the graves and the you could see the 50+ patches of them neatly lined up in rows.

"This is, a graveyard." Sakura muttered as she looked around at the large monument in the middle of the graveyard where the kids that were never named were burried under. The ones who had been in mass graves that had decomposed so much you couldn't tell what belong to who.

"These are all the kids who died 6 years ago." Naruto stated looking at the graveyard. "Nobody really comes here because they think it is haunted. Every year we come here and clean up. Remember all of the spider lily bulbs that I bought?" I say and Sakura's eyes widened.

"You managed to plant all of these flowers? "She asked and I nodded. "Yeah, before the building was torn down the previous head mistress had a garden and she had an area with alot of spider lilies. So I thought I'd brighten this place up a bit." I say as naruto set everything down.

"The stones aren't going to clean itself." he stated and I nodded.

The rest of the day we cleaned the graves, Cut the grass. Weeded the tombstones and picked up fallen branches and such.

We ate lunch here and made sure to wash our hands since spider lillies aren't the safest to digest. By the end of the day Naruto and I paid our respects to nearly everyone.

"Hibiko nee-chan, Thank you. Thank you for teaching me the ninja skills you learned in the academy. Thank you for helping big brother when he was bleeding and hurt and thank you for teaching me as much as you could. I'm sorry that I didn't try to stop Timoro when she killed you and I hope you are in a better place now." I prayed and unclasped my hands.

"I think that's everyone." Naruto stated and I nodded as we began picking up our things and we all walked back to the village. Nobody really spoke but everything was peaceful and things were getting better. And that's all that mattered.

____________________________________

Hey guys! I made another chapter becasue I was just inspired okay. I wanted them to visit the graveyard for their birthday and team seven to learn more about the reality of what the twins past.

When you say 20-60 kids you just think 20-60 as in numbers. but if you see a room full of twenty to sixty kids you think to yourself. That is alot. but if you see a graveyard of twenty to sixty kids you truly see the severity of it.

This is also for Sasukes development, He sees 100- 200 gravestones of his clan but so do akumi and naruto. This is sasuke seeing and understanding their pain so that they can understand his as well.
