AN: This is another story in which both Naruto's and Sasuke's families are alive and had been best friends with Sakura's parents since childhood. When the parents want to pairing their kids, it's going to be a trouble. Not only their children was in the same team like they were used to be. But the sons(minus Itachi) from two side of the clans, the Uchihas and the Uzumakis, have the same crush, blooming into love for the same girl, the only daughter and child of their childhood best friends, things will get messy. Two sides of the respective clans, Us vs Us, parents vs parents, father with father, mother with mother, son with son. It's love rivaly and a hard one too. Let's hope the Harunos know what they're dealing with the two sides of their seperated squads with they in between. Art work belongs to Miwo Kirihana, not mine, sorry.

Team 7 (1 year old).

It was the first year after the incident with the Nine-Tails Kyuubi. Thanks to the Yondaime, Namikaze Minato, Konohagakure was peaceful once more.

He along with his wife, Uzumaki Kushina had sealed the Kyuubi inside their son, Naruto, in hopes of the future where Jinchuurikis and their sealed beasts would get along well.

His best friends and teammates, Uchiha Fugaku and Haruno Kizashi had also contributed their skills to protect the village. And the pink-haired shinobi of the three, had suggested on celebration their victory the year before at the Uchiha compound, to Minato's hesitation and Fugaku's internal delight. It was settled.

The Yondaime went back to his apartment to inform his family that there'd be a party to celebrate their one-year anniversary.

He said that their friend would bring many gifts and snacks for their son's birthday party.

Kushina screamed joyfully about how thoughtful of their hilarious friend to remember her son's birth. Minato laughed a bit awkwardly.

While the Uchiha Patriarch went back to the compound near the outskirt to tell his family to prepare for a party that their childhood friend had asked for. Mikoto had cheerfully agreed to it.

The Haruno Patriarch had shouted to his wife and daughter about the party between 3 families respectively at the Uchiha compound, the occasion was to celebrate their one-year anniversally, also Naruto's birthday.

Mebuki felt excited to finally meet her teammates again after years.

The men and fathers sat in the living room, and the women and mothers sat in the kitchen.

The children were in Sasuke's nursery, with Itachi supervising them.

With the man.

Kizashi and Minato were having an intense game in shougi, while Fugaku was just watching them, sipping his sake quietly.

The three were sitting on the tanami mats with the table between them, where the screen doors located to the varenda opposite to them opened.

It was the deciding move, and it was difficult to know who would move first. And in the end Kizashi was the winner, and Minato accepted his defeat in a playful way.

"I won, it was a fun game when it comes to you, Mina-Badi. We should play again, if you have free time like this, i'll always request you to play."

Kizashi smiled, a sunny smile that was contagious which made the other two smile back at him.

"Yes, it was never boring to have a challenging opponent like you, Kizashi-san."

Minato said in his formal voice which brings the loud, hyper man's mood higher, if that's even possible.

Fugaku  nodded in agreement, hiding his smirk behing his sake cup.

"There wasn't a single day where i didn't thought about when we could have time like this."

The stoic Uchiha Head responed in a malachonic tone, his stony face softened when he reminisces their Genin days where they could be laughing all day, goofing of most of the time, and could be as carefree as they wanted. He really missed them.

The blond and the pinkette look at each other in understanding. Kizashi scoots  to Fugaku and enveloped him in a tight one-armed hug, he cheers his friend like he usually would.

"Aw, chin up, Fuga-Paru, i'm sure there will be times we could spend like we used to, like good old buddies."

Kizashi's jolly yet soothing voice calms his insecurities, and brightens his hopes up, because he knows that his words wasn't  airy quotes.

The black-haired man grins, he then slung back his arm around his friend's shoulder.

The two clan Patriarches then look to their old teammate and nodded.
Kizashi motions for Minato to come for the group hug.

"Why don't you join in, Minato? Our team wouldn't be the same without you. So come on."

As soon as Minato was closed by, Kizashi warped his other arm around the blonde man, beside his bulky form.

"So how about a toast for a future together in Konohagakure forever in peace, you guys?"

The pinkette raised his sake cup, the other two also raised their cups to lightly clash with his. The three man then chorused.

"To a future together in Konohagakure forever in peace! Konpai!"

The three laughed, as they drank their sake and about to be in for a sake-drinking contest.

With the women.

Mebuki were painting Kushina's nails, while Mikoto were reading a Monthly Girl magazine.

The three women were sitting on the floor, with their feet under the dining table, make ups and magazines were spreaded all over.

"It's good to have relaxing time once in a while, especially when we have lady friends to chat with, and not doing house chores."

Mebuki said as she checked her handiwork on her friend's fingers, Kushina raised her hands to see colorful nails reflecting herself.

"Indeed, Dattebane. I'm tired of seeing my husband and son keep avoiding my food, which i made with love, Dattebane! Unbelievable."

"Oh, i'm sure you hadn't try hard enough, Kushina-chan. Don't get so dissapointed already."

The calm Uchiha Marchiarch chided her gloomy friend. But the famed Hanebore just slumped her chin down on the table's surface.

"Yeah right, i bet they'd rather eat instant ramen than my food, Dattebane."

The red haired Uzumaki retorts yet her gray eyes glistening adoringly at the thought of her silly family.

She then compliments her friend's art work when she reviews her nails.

"By the way, your work was just as good as ever, Mebuki-chan. If only we still have time just like this, when we were Genin, oh those memorable moments."

"So do i, it was difficult when we have our own responsibility to take care of."

Mikoto also said in a saddening tone, her eyes almost had droplet of tears slipped out. They were all missed their time when they wer three Kunoichis

The head-strong Haruno Matriarch put her hand on the red haired's, she then put her other hand on the raven haired's. She said in a reassuring voice.

"I know it's hard for us women to go through this. But as members of the Konoha Mother Alliance Organization, i know we can do this. All three of us.

We won't let them judging us as retired kunoichis whose work was just houseworking and feeding mouths. We'd prove them more that we also have a part in serving the Ninja world.

We're not dumb, we're not useless, and we're certainly not weak. So keep it up, bring your mouths upside-down for me to see, will ya?"

The other two smile at her words, inspired by her determination.

The three woman than raised their fists high where the lightbulb shines brightly. They giggle like they used to be, when they'we still in their team.

With the children.

Inside Sasuke's nursery, Itachi was reading his scrolls while keeping an eye on his brother and his friends.

The four of them were sitting on the floor, with the three babies on Sasuke's play mat.

Since tonight is Naruto's birthday, so his parents bought him a small birthday cake with cupcakes and juice to go with. 

Itachi had cut the cake seperatedly, put each cake slice on each plate, and had each cupcake and juice box for each kid respectively.

It was a small party for three, with Itachi sat afar a bit with a cake slice, his own cupcake and juice box. He watches from the corner of his eyes amusingly as the three chat in their baby language.

It was a chocolate cake they were having, with each baby have their own flavored cupcake and juice.

Naruto has a lemon cupcake and orange juice, Sakura has a cherry cupcake and strawberry juice, and Sasuke has a blueberry cupcake and grape juice.

They were happily eating, or munching and occasionally playing with their own snacks.

"Naruto, me tummy is full now, me not want to eat anymore. You can have half of me cupcake and juice."

Sakura was offering her half eaten cupcake and her unfinished juice box to the blond boy, to Sasuke's dismay.

"No no, Shakura-chan, me not want to eat, too, Dattebayo. Me tummy is also full. Why don't cha bring it home, me give birthday cake to ya?"

"No, Naruto, Sakura is full, she can't eat,  let me have her food instead."

Sasuke explained in his own gibberish, and Naruto fumed a bit at him wanting to have Sakura's half done snacks.

"Oh yeah, Sasuske, me thought you not like sweets? Why would ya want Shakura-chan's, Dattebayo?"

The black-haired boy just pout his mouth, his small brows furrowed down, his nose scrunched. He threw a dirty look at the birthday boy.

The said boy threw his own glare back. There was a tiny spark flash between their eyes. Sakura just watch between the two of them curiously.

Itachi also notice, his eyes look away from the scroll he was reading. He thought.

I have a bad feeling about this.

Back to the men.

"I hope that our children will be in the same team as we were when they grow up. I just knew it~, my hunches are always right."

Kizashi hollered in slurry tone, his grin wider than ussual, his face almost burned hot to the touch.

The two other man just watching him in gaiety. Out of all three of them, the Haruno man has the lowest tolerance with acohol.

He than said again in hilarity.

"But make sure you know, do not let either of your sons~ near my daughter.

If they have any intentions or interests in her, they have to go through me first. Over my dead body, 100% guarantee."

Kizashi suddenly has a deadly serious look that caused shivers to go through Fugaku's and Minato's spines.

"I won't forgive them~ or any of you if there's something happened to her, even if you're my best friends~  or teammates. I want my daughter to have what is best for her."

The drunkard man has an eerily smile which make both the Yondaime's and the Uchiha Patriarch's face pale to their bones, sweat trickling down their faces.

"So if any boy want to court her~  he has to be worthy of her. I'll make sure of that. Mark my words, you guys~."

The two other man nodded quickly. If there's anyone who could make one of the strongest Hokage, and the Head of the most powerful clan, shivered with fear to their cores, it would be Haruno Kizashi, a seemingly silly merchant man with a huge mystery within him.

Kizashi from his terrifying look reverts back to his normally hilarious form, he dramatically sobs, after the horrifying threat he just uncosiously dropped on two of the bravest shinobis.

The pink-haired man had his hands covered nearly his entire face, his saddened face visible to the other two.

"Oh, my precious little daughter, how i fear the day you'd all grown up into a beautiful flower like your mother, and had many boys after you without my protective wing."

Minato and Fugaku was still a little shaken from the scary stunt Kizashi just pulled off, and now they just watch awkwardly, and worried about their friend, and their lives.

"You're no longer need me and you'd run away and live with a boy i may not like at all.

I just hope that you'll love someone i could trust, a special boy that i get to know and love like my own son. I just don't know if that would ever come true or even existed.

"Don't worry, my son will be that special boy for your daughter."

Fugaku and Minato spoke at the same time. The two of them then look at one another in shock and confusion.

"What, what did you just say?"

Kizashi rose from his slumped form on the coffe table, his face still tear-stroken.

Minato starts first, before Fagaku could.

"Kizashi-san, you don't have to worry about it. When Sakura-chan grows up, Naruto will protect her, i know he'd make a great son for you."

Kizashi was stunned, and so was Fugaku. The raven haired man can't believe what his friend and comrade just said. He scowled and said.

"As if my son is no better than yours, Minato. Kizashi, let Sasuke protects her too, i know you two would get along well in the future, trust me on this."

This time Minato was the one taken aback, Kizashi has slowly awaken from his drunken state. Did they hear the right thing what Fugaku just said? 

Kizashi was unsure what to think or what to say next. He spoke in a low mutter, insecurity oozed in his tone.

"But what if neither of them like my Sakura? What if they like someone else behind her back or worst, cheat on her without her noticing, and left her all alone, never want to see her anymore?"

Kizashi said in a broken tone, his sobbing returns, his sholders slightly shaking, tears overflowing from his azure eyes, his wild magenta hair now dull a shade and flattened down a bit, to the other men's sadness and sympathy. They hate seeing their precious friend being sad.

"I don't want that to happen to my little bud. She's too fragile for this world, let along love interests and romantic relationships.

I'm fearful that she'd be crushed easily and no longer want to live ever again."

The blond and the black haired man want to mollify their hurting friend. Neither of their son would commit such things, since both the Uzumakis and the Uchihas know better than anyone else what true love is.

Naruto, and Sasuke were happens to had a fondness for their friend's cherry blossom daughter. And that fondness would grow into crush and later to love.

Minato, once again steals Fugaku's chance to console their friend's bawl.

"There, there, Kizashi-san. There's no way Naruto would do that to Sakura-chan.

He likes her too much to think about it. And he's very stubborn to give up what he likes."

Minato says with a sense of confirmness. Kizashi stopped his wailing immediately, and Fugaku's eyes widen to their fullest like plates.

There's no way he would let their blond friend's son has Kizashi's prized beloved daughter first.

Not when his own son harbors the same feelings to their friend's daughter.

What an Uchiha wants, an Uchiha gets. No clan cherishes love more than the Uchiha. And Sasuke wants and is in love with Sakura at such a young age.

You know what they say, an Uchiha evolves fast, they learn fast, they grow fast, and they know fast.

An Uchiha never backs down from a challenge, especially if that challenge involves love.

From his great ancestor, Uchiha Madara, who is still alive, and currently asleep, in one of the main bedrooms in the main house, says that Uchihas are loyal lovers and care deeply to their loved ones.

"And who do you think you have the right to say about it, 'Hokage'?

My son will be the one to stand by Sakura's side since he's very much, in love with her, and it will become a reality for your eyes to watch and weep."

Fugaku stated in a firm voice, his stance all stern and solemn. Minato's brows furrowed as his eyes turns into slits, his lips were a straight line.

Kizashi just blink away his tears, confused at what his two best friends were going to do next. His sober might have return at some point.

"Is that a challenge, Fugaku-san?

Because if i recalled correctly, Sasuke doesn't even pay attention to Sakura-chan as much as Naruto does."

"Hn, as if. Uchihas are very observant, and Sasuke is very attentive when it comes to Sakura. You just didn't look into further like your son."

"And what are you aiming at?"

Fugaku's face darkened, as well as Minato's. Kizashi was getting more confused by  his two friends.

"Guys?" He askes but neither replied.

Back with the women.

The three now wearing massage maskes out of avocados. They had some cucumbers to put on their eyes for later, but they still want to talk.

"I hadn't had one of these since before i gave birth to Sakura.

That girl's sure drives me nuts sometimes with her cries. She can be like her father at times, but i still love them."

Mebuki had her two arms crossed behind her head, she was leaning her back against a chair, her eyes were closed, she released a strained sigh.

"You're telling me, if you dare spending a night watching over Naruto, you'd know what a terror night is, Dattebane."

I'm jealous of you, Mikoto-chan, you got the calmest ones for your kids. How lucky you are."

Kushina blew a small raspberry, envious of how fortunate her friend is for being the most relaxed mom.

"Oh, no Kushina-chan. Sasu-chan tends to cry at night. And he only allows Ita-chan to carry him.

He can be so grumpy and picky. I'm worried if i'd spoiled him to much."

"Don't get worked up, Mikoto-san, afterall, aren't Uchihas supposed to be  obedient and stick to the rules?

I know because my family mostly leave stuffs on the floors for me to clean. I hope that our children will be in the same time someday like we were, since she may have insecurities when she grows up.

She needs someone to protect her when i'm not around.

I just want Sakura to someday finds a man good enough for her, so he could clean her mess."

The last part was a sarcasm to her. She put two of the cucumber slices on her eyes, and decides to take a quick nap.

"Don't mind me, girls, keep chatting without me. I'd just decide to get some zzzs while i can."

With that, the blond woman was knocked up, leaving the Hokage's wife and the Uchiha Marchiarch to talk.

A boy to be Sakura's life mate? It wouldn't be difficult to find one. Both the women thought in mind as they look at their sleeping friend.

"That sure will be my son for your daughter--."

Both of the women stare back at one another. They realised what they just said at the same time.

"Did you just--? About that-?"

They did it again, and this time it wasn't a joke at all.

"Did you just have the same thought as i was, Mikoto-chan, dattebane? Because for the record, i'll be the winning one. Sakura-chan should be with Naruto, dattebane!"

"I think what just happened before was a misunderstanding, Kushina-chan. But obviously, my Sasu-chan would be the one for little Sakura-chan."

The red head Uzumaki's hair starts rising like flames, she was called the great Habanero for nothing.

Kushina stands up from her chair. Mebuki, still aslept wasn't awared of what's happening, she may wearing

"What did you just say, dattebane?"

It was rare for Uchiha Mikoto to be seen in anger, but when she does, it was very terrifying. She also stood up from her chair to face with Kushina.

"I said, the one with the higher possibility to be with Sakura-chan, is my Sasu-chan, Kushina-chan."

Mikoto's voice was like icy chills that would make you shiver.

And Kushina's growls were like fiery smokes of a dragon that about to blow flames. This is just getting worse and worse, isn't it?"

"And what makes you think my son isn't suitable enough for Sakura-chan, Dattebane?"

The raven haired woman just replied calmly yet coldly to her friend.

"That's because my Sasu-chan loves her first. And the Uchihas love deeply to those that precious to them, just as much as the Harunos."

"Don't try to make me laugh, the Uzumakis value love like the Harunos than the Uchihas are."

The red-haired woman grinds her teeth, her jaws clenched tightly. The raven-haired woman narrowed her eyes, steams came from her nose. This isn't going well.

Mebuki senses something is going on, so she slips up one of the cucumbers on her eyes to see her friends.

"Uh, girls, why is it so quiet? Is everything alright?"

Neither replies her questions.

Back with the children.

"Sasuke! Naruto! Boys, enough with this childish fight of tug-of-war. You're going to make Sakura's hands sore."

Itachi tried to seperate the raging battle between Sasuke and Naruto. The two baby boys were using Sakura as the equiment for tugging, neither of them want to give up.

The poor pink-haired baby girl was being tugged from side-to-side rapidly and agressively, her head was getting dizzy. She didn't know what just happened all of sudden. Sasuke was grunting in a mean way to the blond boy, while Naruto was growling furiously at the black-haired boy.

"What had just gotten into these two?"

Itachi grabs a hold on the wrists of both boys to pull their hands away from Sakura. But their grips were a bit tight for mere one-year olds.

"Come on, you guys. Sakura doesn't like this at all. You should let go of her right this instant."

The elder Uchiha signs as he keeps hearing his baby brother and his blond best friend, now temporary foes spewing angsty words about letting go of Sakura and exclaims of her being one another's.

If only i could get one of the adults for help had this getting out of control.

Again with the men.

"Sakura suits more with Sasuke. Their names go well together.

Their appearances look alike. Even their manners and intelligence similar too. Right, Kizashi?"

"Oh, don't drag him into this, Fugaku-san. Sakura-chan fits more with Naruto. Their bright colorings complement each other. Afterall, Kizashi-san and i had known for years way back before you showed up."

"As if i hadn't met him back in the same Academy you happened to attend. I like him the moment i know him. And so would my Sasuke to Sakura. Which had happened.

Opposite attacts, you know."

"But couples go well together more if they have incommons.

My son and Sakura-chan share that aspect to, you son would make her cry sooner than laugh."

"Sasuke would devote everything to see her smiles. Sakura's happiness is his top priority, for your informations. Uchihas never fail at providing the best."

"Naruto would sacrifice his life for Sakura-chan. He knows what she deserves the most, and he wouldn't hestitant at retrieving what she demands when she's in need."

"Guys, don't you think this is getting more out of reach?"

Kizashi failed miserably at preventing his best friends from further competing agaisnt each other over what? His daughter's hand in marriage to whose son? That's ridiculous, right?

He frowns in sadness, hated to see his two best friends arguing over something. He didn't have any clue to know at all to prevent this.

Seriously, was it something he had said before that had set their temper up?

Again with the women.

The two women, one fiery red-haired, and one inky raven-haired, fighting and hissing like cats. Mebuki couldn't do anything to stop them, despite having the worst temper out of all three of them, she just watch.

"My Sasu-chan always well-behaved,  always the kindest and softest when he's with Sakura-chan. He's a good influence on her, unlike your michievious son.

He keeps pestering her."

Kushina gasps at her, as if one of her best friend just insults her son.

"Don't you dare say like that to my son.
He's just feel neglected and wants attention. And Sakura-chan helps him overcoming it. He's good boy when she's around."

Mikoto snorts unladylike and retorts.

"And whose fault is that. It's not my fault he takes after you. He was like you back in the Academy, Kushina-chan.

I wouldn't want my future beloved daughter-in-law to be with him."

The two women glare heatfully at each other. Mebuki waves her hand at both of them.

"Ladies, ladies, you're both pretty. Can we move on to another topic?"

She recieves simulatenous "NO".

"Mebuki-chan and i had known each other since childhood, both rivals and sister-figures, until you show up."

"Me? I spent time with her longer than you do. We always have tea at her house whenever school's out. You don't know since you're not there~"

"As if she didn't tell me that, 'ttebane.

You're just jealous that Mebuki-chan and i were so closed!"

Mebuki signs frustratedly. She knows she could sometimes too forward with words. But she didn't say anything too sensitive to make her best friends argue, right?

And all three sides have a fight of it's own, with the same conlusion.

"Sakura-chan's mine, 'ttebayo!"

"Hn! No, she's not! Mine!

"My son's better than yours, Minato!"

"No, my son could beat yours in it, Fugaku-san!"

"Naruto will have her first!"

"No, my Sasu-chan loves her first!"

"Guys?" Kizashi asks.

"Girls?" Mebuki asks.

"Boys?" Itachi asks.

To the men's end of conversation.

"That's the final, from now on we're rivals now, Namikaze."

"You're right. This as the competition between not only our sons, but also us too. See which one of us will get the tilte of Kizashi's best friend, and for either of our respective sons, Sakura's destiny husband-to-be."

"May the best side wins, for the number one best friend, and the soon-to-be son-in-law."

Both men shook their hands, the grip was tight with tension and determination, not going to lose to the other.

Kizashi was puzzled of what just happened between his two friend.

He may smart, but when it comes to love, he could be a little oblivious. He thought this maybe a one-time fued.

To the women's end of arguement.

"I'm afraid i have to say this, Mikoto-chan.

But from this night onwards, we're rivals now. We'll determine to fine out which one of our sons would suit for Sakura-chan, 'ttebane."

"I'm afraid so, too, Kushina-chan.

This fight would go to nowhere, unless we have a contest between our sons."

"May the best mother support her son to win his love. Just so you know, i won't lose to you til the very end, my son would agree to this war of love, 'ttebane."

"Yes, wish you luck, 'cause you're going to need it. Uchihas never lose when it comes to true love."

The women also shook their hands.

There's flame flashing behind their eyes, with stern expressions.

Mebuki stares at them with a slightly mortified face. She was clearly thinking that this maybe one of their mutual oaths. But she was wrong.

To the toddles' finishing way.

Itachi had finally pried the boys' hands of the tired Sakura.

Now Sasuke and Naruto were glaring again, Sakura was looking back at one another.

"Sasukkee! You jerk!

We're enemies from now on, 'ttebayo!"

"Hn! Same here, idiot!"

Suddenly, they heard sniffing. All three turned to the little pink-haired toddle. Sakura started to sob a little.

"Sasuke-kun... Naruto-san...Stop fighting, please..."

The elder Uchiha pats her small head gently, consoling her. The two boys forget their fight, and rush to their crush side to comfort her.

"Sakura-chan, me won't fight the jerk anymore if that makes you sad, 'ttebayo!"

"Sakura, if that upsets you, we won't do it anymore, for now."

"Sasuke!"

The said boy pouts as his brother chides him. Itachi signs in relief. At least there won't be such silly fight like the one before in the future.

For once, he wished he didn't make that reference about concequences.

This love-triangle wouldn't get any further, would it?
