Chapter Text

Rule One: A Haruno always has some pink in their hair from a couple of streaks to their entire head, from the lightest shade of bubblegum pink to the darkest shade of magenta even to red. Our hair can not be dyed because it produces a chemical(the same that makes it pink) that does not allow it to be dyed. The pink in our hair will last for at least five generations before it's gone.

Rule Two: A Haruno's eyes are bright and doll-like. Our eyes make you look innocent, use it to your advantage. People say our eyes are extremely expressive when in reality it's our Inner's who manipulate the emotions we are able to show in our eyes. Always keep your Inner on your side otherwise they might let your true emotions show through your eyes.

Rule Three: A Haruno must protect the shrines and heal all those who come and are accepted by the shrines. If someone comes who has not been accepted by the shrines they will not be allowed to enter, if they have malicious intentions towards the shrine or anyone in the shrine they will be put under genjutsu, and if they somehow manage to break out of the genjutsu they will be physically hurt and chased out by the nature around the shrine or in more severe cases the stone giants that guard the shrines. The shrines also have seals made by the Uzumaki's. These seals will only react to those of Haruno blood and if the shrine has been left sleeping, you may need to cut your finger and smear your blood on the door. Do be careful though as the seals are attracted to Haruno blood and it might take too much if it has been left sleeping for too long.

Rule Four: As a Haruno your heart and soul are weak. Protect your heart and soul from those who can hurt them. Be careful about those you let in because sometimes the most trustworthy people end up being the least trustworthy of all. And when you fall in love that person(people) is(are) your soulmate(s) and you are meant to be together no matter what. You may be able to try and trick your mind but your Inner will always let you know that they are your soulmate(s). If one of you dies(before or after marriage) whether married into or born into the clan the spouse(s) will be able to see their late lover.

Rule Five: Haruno's are extremely smart and have an extreme thirst for knowledge. Most Haruno's have an eidetic memory, use your memory well and you will be able to accomplish great things. Make sure people know you're smart but let them underestimate you, it might just save your life.

Rule Six: The Haruno's are not a civilian clan, we are a noble clan that has been lost to time. Do not tell anyone except those you know you can trust those who have not betrayed you even once, that the Haruno's are not a civilian clan for it could be disastrous for us all. Although we do have low chakra levels it has only helped us blend in with civilians. When or if you try to build your chakra levels it will be extremely easy as we are a noble clan and our bodies are made to handle large chakra levels.

Rule Seven: Haruno's are spread out across all of the elemental nations even in the smallest of villages, if you need help another one of your clansmen will help you, it is the way of the Haruno's to help those in need (especially if they are family). We Haruno's have a village in Hana no Kuni or Flower county. Our village is called Hanagakure or Hana for short. It is hidden from everyone except those with Haruno blood and those you allow in. If you ever need help politically or just general help go to Hana for you will receive the help you need. This village is where all Haruno's soul stones will be buried.

Rule Eight: Always help those in need no matter what the predicament may be. Although if they could hurt you or the other Haruno's you must erase the memory of what you have done to save them; at least partially. Do not let them fall back into darkness for that could be disastrous for us all.

Rule Nine: Our Kekkei Genkai is called Furawāai or Flower eye. Special abilities that are unlocked after the Furawāai is activated are to control nature, erase memories, and in some special cases we are able to communicate with animals(at the most basic level) even if Furawāai is deactivate we can still control nature, erase memories and communicate with animals. When Furawāai is activated our right eye goes completely black and there is a pink cherry blossom(🌸) in the middle of our right eye; black lines will grow from all over our body usually starting from the eye these black lines look like vines. Be careful about who you show this power for it could be disastrous if you let the wrong people know. Furawāai is unlocked under extreme emotions, usually love and determination though other strong emotions can activate it. It usually unlocks between the ages of 5 to 12, but if your Kenkai Genkai does not unlock during those two specified ages do not worry for it will unlock eventually. When over used Furawāai can cause: Temporary blindness, bleeding from the eye, fainting, chakra exhaustion and temporary loss of emotions.

Rule Ten: The head of the Haruno clan must treat all clan members with respect, they also must be chosen by the clan head that came before them. If a clan head does not treat clan members with respect or care when it is necessary, more than once, they may be taken out of the head position, and a new clan head will be selected by the rest of the clan.

Rule Eleven: A Haruno must not kill another of their own blood unless repeatedly provoked, and challenged to a spar by the other, and if one of the contestants does not agree to the spar they must leave each other alone. No retaliation will be allowed, by either party. If either party backs out of the spar the other party must respect their wishes and they will not have the spar.

Rule Twelve: Although Haruno's can communicate through our Inner's it is not exactly convenient as the messages can be jumbled up by accident. So Haruno's twelve and up get a cherry blossom tattoo (like this💮) on their collarbone. It lights up in different colors for different meanings, light Pink is normal and the default, Red means that someone near(ten mile radius) you is in danger, Yellow means that another Haruno is near you(ten mile radius), Blue means someone new that could be a threat is near(ten mile radius), Reddish Pink means that a Haruno near(ten mile radius) you is in danger, Black means that you yourself are in danger, chakra depleted, or hurt when it becomes pink again someone is coming to help you, and Green means that your Inner has taken over. 

Rule Thirteen: If you respect nature it will respect you. All Haruno's are naturally connected to nature. But if you do not treat nature with care and respect it will not treat you the same.

Rule Fourteen: All Haruno's have soul stones. Soul stones are where a Haruno's life force is. The life force is surrounded by a thick layer of gray stone. No one other than the person whose life force is in the soul stone may see their soul. When the person whose life force was in the soul stone dies the life force will disappear along with the feeling of their chakra that is present around the soul stone. Chakra and life forces are different things. While chakra is in every living thing, life forces are something only Haruno's have. When someone dies their soul stone will be buried and their physical body will be burned. Above where their soul stone is buried there is a memorial plaque with their name, date of birth and date of death along with any achievements they may have had.

Rule Fifteen the last and most important rule: All Haruno's have an Inner spirit, or echo if you gain their trust they will tell you their name but in the meantime give them a name that you think suits them, they will appreciate it as it gives them a sense of self. Your Inner will also give you a name that they think suits you, don't get offended by the name they give you as they know you best and they can't really lie. Do not trust anyone but others of Haruno blood with their name and even then it should only be those who you know you can trust. Always listen to your Inner they will keep you out of danger and make sure you don't die or they might just keep you company. Our Inners can communicate with each other, and if you need to send a message to another Haruno your Inner will most likely deliver the message, if you ask politely. Inners are like a family to each other so if you hurt your Inner you will be likely to hurt other Inners so be careful what you say to your Inner. Your Inner will do everything to protect you and try not to hurt you but... Most Inner's tend to be brash and wild, most of the time when they take over they believe it will be to your benefit, for example: if you've pulled an all nighter and can't function like a normal human being, if you've passed out at in inconvenient time, when you don't know what to do in a battle or if you are thinking of hurting yourself, you will be able to see what they are doing but you won't be able to interfere, eventually you will gain back control. They will pick fights; it is in their nature to protect you even from playful jabs, most of the time if you tell them to leave it they will; but if it gets to be too much for you they may take over. The only people they will not pick fights with is your soulmate(s). The reason for them not picking a fight with your soulmate(s) is quite obvious. They don't want to hurt you and if you and your soulmate(s) have a bad relationship it will hurt you, and their primary motive is to support and protect you. Although they may be brash, annoying, and petty at times they only want what's best for you so treat them with kindness.

Chapter Text

The 16-year-old Haruno Zentai picked up her phone, and saw a text from her younger cousin, Haruno Haruki. Haruki had texted the group chat that had all of the cousins.

      *'Haruki-chan🌸🌟' is online*

Haruki-chan🌸🌟: Hey guys! Okaa-san(mom) said we're having a family reunion! So start making your way home!

*'Sakura-chan 🌸👊' , 'Hayami-chan 🌸☀️' ,  'Hajime💮🌙', 'Zentai-chan🌸🗺' , 'Rinto💮🖕' , 'Atsu💮😝' ,  and 'Sora💮☺️' are online*

Sakura-chan 🌸👊: Wait! Wait! Wait! We're having a what!?

Haruki-chan🌸🌟: A family reunion, Saku-chan. Didn't you see my text?

Zentai-chan🌸🗺:  Haruki stop teasing Saku-chan, you know that's not at all what she ment.

Haruki-chan🌸🌟: Do I Zentai-chan? 

Zentai-chan🌸🗺: Yes you do. 🙄

Sora💮☺️: Okay okay, calm down you three. And Haruki-chan what was this about a family reunion? 

Haruki-chan🌸🌟: Okaa-san(mom) just told me to tell you, so you could tell your families. I don't know much about it yet, but I do know that Okaa-san(mom) wants everyone to come home. 

Hayami-chan 🌸☀️: Really!? 

Haruki-chan🌸🌟 Yes really Hayami-chan.

Hayami-chan 🌸☀️: RINTO! HAJIME! ATSU! DID YOU HERE THAT!? WE'RE GOING HOME! 

Rinto💮🖕: Yes yes, Hayami we saw it. 

Hajime💮🌙: I'll tell Okaa-san(mom) and Oto-san(dad)! 

Atsu💮😝: Okaa-san(mom) and Oto-san(dad) said we could come. We'll be home in about 3 or so days. 

Zentai-chan🌸🗺: I'll be home in about a week or so. 

Hajime💮🌙: Okaa-san(mom) and Oto-san(dad) said that we're able to go! We'll be there in about 4 or 5 days. 

Sakura-chan 🌸👊: I'll be no more than a week, I would be home sooner but I have to convince Sasuke-kun to let me take Sarada without him. 

Haruki-chan🌸🌟: Okay that's great! If anyone of gets delayed don't worry the reunion will be going on for a while. 

*'Haruki-chan🌸🌟', 'Sakura-chan 🌸👊' ,  'Hayami-chan 🌸☀️' , Hajime💮🌙', 'Zentai-chan🌸🗺' , 'Rinto💮🖕' , 'Atsu💮😝' , and 'Sora💮☺️' are offline*

Zentai smiled at her phone, her cousins were always so lively. She's happy she'll be able to see them all again, but now she needs to get packing after all she was in the land of lightning and Hanagakure(The village hidden in the flowers) was in between the land of fire and the land of wind so she had some way to go. 

The 16-year-old pinkette then got a text from someone. 

Ame-obasan🌸✨: Zentai? 

*'Zentai-chan🌸🗺' is online*

Zentai-chan🌸🗺: Yes Ame-obasan(aunt Ame)? 

Ame-obasan🌸✨: Are you able to come to the family reunion? 

Zentai-chan🌸🗺: Yes! I am! Didn't Haruki already tell you? 

Ame-obasan🌸✨: No she didn't... I'm sure she'll tell me soon. When can we expect you? 

Zentai-chan🌸🗺: I just left Kumogakure(The village hidden in the clouds), and I'm currently at an inn close to the village, so I'll be a while. Maybe a week and a half?

Ame-obasan🌸✨: Ah I see, we'll clean up your room. 

Zentai-chan🌸🗺: Thank you Ame-obasan(aunt Ame) ☺️

Ame-obasan🌸✨: It's not a problem Zentai-chan, your my niece. 

*'Ame-obasan🌸✨' and 'Zentai-chan🌸🗺' are offline*

Zentai left the conversation on that note, and put on her playlist (A/N It's called🌸💮Zentai Haruno 💮🌸 it's on Spotify if you wanna check it out) Zentai then started packing up her things, it wasn't much as she was just visiting the land of lightning and didn't actually live in it.

Zentai hummed along with the songs, while she packed. Luckily her Inner(Ana) helped keep her on task when she got to lost in her music. 

By dinner time she was all packed and ready to leave the next morning. When she noticed the time she decided to just sleep instead of getting dinner, as she wasn't really hungry. She also had to get up early the next day. 

🌹The next day, dawn🦋

Zentai walked out of the inn she had been staying in a walked towards the village gates. She left the village and was on her way home. She couldn't wait! 

🌹One and a half weeks later 🦋

Zentai was at the gates of Hanagakure, finally she made it home! She walked to the gates and was met with two guards. They asked for her papers, Zentai knew this was just for the protocol and they had recognized her when she had come up to the gate... Or at least their Inner's had. 

"Alright, here they are." Zentai said handing her papers to the guard, knowing that they would ask for them. Once the guard had checked over her papers and gave her them back, he opened the gate and said, 

"Welcome home, Zentai. It's good to see you."

"Thank you! I'm happy to be home!" Zentai said waving at the guard, as she walked through the gate and onto the main street of Hanagakure, her home. 

"ZENTAI-CHAN! YOU'RE FINALLY HERE! I MISSED YOU!" Haruno Haruki, Zentai's 15-year-old cousin and the only one of the cousins who lived in Hanagakure, yelled throwing herself at her older cousin. 

"It's good to see you too Haruki-chan!" Zentai said hugging the 15-year-old tightly, a smile on her face. 

"Hey Zentai-chan it's been a while, I missed you." A voice behind Haruki said.

"Saku-chan! It's good to see you too! Oh and is that Sarada-chan?" The 16-year-old old asked seeing the 1-year-old in her 21-year-old cousins arms. 

"Yes, this is Sarada." Sakura said smiling warmly at her child. Sakura looked at her small daughter like she was the world and nothing but her mattered; it was the look of a loving mother who would give up anything for her child.

"Where are the others?" Zentai asked, carrying her things as the three cousins walked through the main street of Hanagakure. 

"Well, Okaa-san(mom) wanted to catch up with her siblings and Oto-san(dad) went out with Sunakai-obasan(aunt Sunakai) for tea so they could give Okaa-san(mom) and the others some time to catch up."

"-While Atsu and Rinto are training together because Rinto wants to show how much he's improved. Hayami and Sora went to watch them both. Hajime to make sure neither one of them gets hurt." The two explained to Zentai, while they walked towards where they were staying. 

"Yeah, that sounds like them!" Zentai laughed, her family hadn't changed all that much after all. 

The three cousins continued their chatter, as they walked towards where they would be staying, the house was in the middle of Hanagakure.

When they reached the clan head's house, known to Sakura and Zentai as their Ame-obasan's(aunt Ame's) house, and known to Haruki as home. The three cousins walked in immediately and yelled, "Kitaku shimashita(We're home)!"

"Okaerinasai(Welcome back)!" Was yelled in response by: Haruno Mebuki otherwise known as Uchiha Sakura, Haruno Rinto, Haruno Hajime, and Haruno Hayami's mother. Haruno Ame, Haruno Haruki's mother. And Haruno Ren father of Haruno Sora and Haruno Atsu.

"EEK! ZENTAI WATASHI NO MEI(Zentai my niece) YOU'RE FINALLY HERE!" Haruno Mebuki squealed running towards her second youngest niece, excited to see her again, the 46-year-old hadn't seen Zentai in months.

"Mebuki-obasan(aunt Mebuki)! It's good to see you too!" Zentai said hugging her aunt, her bags left forgotten by the door. 

"Zentai! It's nice to see you've finally arrived. We thought you'd never get here." The 48-year-old Haruno Ren sent a teasing smile to his niece, as he side hugged her.  

"It's nice to see you too Ren-ojisan(uncle Ren)!" The 16-year-old pinkette said happily, side hugging her uncle. 

"*Ahem* May I see my niece, Imōto(little sister), Otōto(little brother)?" The 50-year-old Haruno Ame said annoyed with her younger siblings, she had been the one that cleaned up Zentai's room not them, not to mention that she's the Haruno clan head.

"Ame-obasan(aunt Ame)! It's great to see you!" Zentai said hugging her aunt excitedly. Stepping out of the hug Zentai asked, "So what's this I here about my room?"

The group of Haruno's laughed.

"I'll show you to your room Zentai." Ame said with a smile. 

"Thanks Ame-obasan(aunt Ame)!" Zentai said following her aunt, after almost forgetting her suitcases, luckily for her she had Ana.  

The pair reached a door, after walking through the maze like hallways of the head's house, on the door they had reached was a sign of Zentai's name in kanji: 全体

"Thank you Oba-san(auntie)!" Zentai said opening the door and looking around the room with a smile on her face. 

"It looks fantastic! Thank you so much!" Zentai said exploring the room like an exited puppy. 

"It's not a problem Zentai-chan." Ame said smiling at her niece. Zentai reminded her so much of Seto, her youngest brother and Zentai's father. 

'If only you could've been here Otōto(little brother), she's just like you. You would be so proud of what she's become.' Ame thought, wishing her youngest brother could be with them, but he was with the spirits. 

"Get settled and get ready we're throwing a celebratory dinner for you, at 7." Ame said, snapping out of her thoughts of her Otōto(little brother). 

'Get a hold of yourself Ame! Wishing he could be here doesn't change anything.' 

"Okay Ame-obasan(aunt Ame)!" Zentai said, as Ame left the room, closing the door behind her. 

"Okay let's get unpacking!" The pinkette said to herself grabbing her bags, and putting them on her bed.

'Crane are you sure you can do this?' A teasing voice spoke in the pinkette's head. The voice's name is Ana, she's Zentai's Inner. All biological Haruno have an Inner. 

Zentai huffed annoyed, Ana is always like this. "Yes I'm sure Ana, I'm not completely useless." Zentai said unzipping her bags. 

'I'm not saying your useless, I'm just saying that you tend to get distracted easily.' Ana replied, to Zentai's comment. Banter between the two was completely normal. 

"Well I have you to keep me on track, so I've no need to worry." Zentai said a smug smile on her face, knowing that Ana couldn't say anything against it.

The pinkette then started unpacking her suitcase putting away the clothes in the closet and drawers making sure everything was organized. Ana making sure she wasn't going to be late to her own welcome dinner. Zentai made sure to pick out an outfit. 

Just a plan black T-shirt with the haruno symbol on the back and dark grey shorts. 

Soon enough it was 7 and Zentai walked through the hallways to the dining room, finding her family already there waiting for her. The family looked up at Zentai when she walked in. 

"ZENTAI! YOU'RE FINALLY HERE!" A 16-year-old, Haruno Hayami, exclaimed excitedly getting up and hugging Zentai. 

"In fact I am Hayami-chan! It's nice to be home!" Zentai said reciprocating the hug, with a wide smile.

"Hey Zentai-chan." A 19-year-old, Haruno Rinto, said waving at his younger cousin with a small smile.  

"Hi Rinto." Zentai said waving back at Rinto, still smiling. 

"It's good to see you cousin." Haruno Hajime, Hayami's twin brother said his troublemaker smile on his face. 

"It's good to see you too Hajime." Zentai said smiling at the 16-year-old.

"Zentai, it's nice to see you've finally arrived." A 23-year-old, Haruno Atsu, said hugging her.

"It's nice to see you too Atsu." Zentai said not noticing the 22-year-old sneaking up on her.  

"Zentai! You've grown out your hair again!" Haruno Sora, said patting his younger cousin on the head. 

"Hey! Stop that Sora!" Zentai said swatting Sora's hand away playfully. 

"You seem to be doing well, Zentai." Haruno Kizashi, said smiling slightly as Zentai sat down. 

"Yes, I think I've been doing well." Zentai said to her uncle, returning his smile. 

"Zentai you've grown up splendidly!" Haruno Sunakai, complimented her niece. 

"Thank you Sunakai-obasan(aunt Sunakai)! You're looking as beautiful as ever!" Zentai said to her aunt, and it was true. Sunakai was an extremely beautiful woman. With long black hair and blue eyes made her a beauty even at 48-years-old.

"You're welcome darling, and thank you." Sunakai said smiling at the young pinkette. Sunakai cares for her family a lot, considering she grew up in an orphanage not having a family. She was worried about Zentai while she was traveling and she's is happy to have her niece safe back home. 

"Why do I feel like you're flirting with my wife, Zentai-chan?" Ren teased, knowing that Zentai would take the teasing with grace. 

"Because I am, Ren-ojisan(uncle Ren)." Zentai said a smirk on her face, just as Ren had expected she'd taken the teasing with grace. 

The whole table laughed at the two of them, even 1-year-old Sarada, who was on her mother's lap.

The family continued to make small talk until the food arrived.

Chapter Text

After dinner the family went out on the back porch, to continue their chat. 

"So where did you go on your travels Zentai?" Hayami asked her cousin, curious about where she'd been. 

Zentai looked up slightly startled, she'd been talking to Ana and hadn't been paying attention, "What? Sorry Hayami-chan, I was talking to my Inner. Could you please repeat what you just said?" Zentai said embarrassed that she hadn't been paying attention. 

"I asked you where you went on your travels." Hayami repeated, knowing that talking to one's Inner is a part of their lives as Haruno's. 

"Oh, well I went to Konohagakure, Kumogakure, Iwagakure Sunagakure, and Amegakure." Zentai said, listing the main places she'd been. 

"Wait! Hold up! You went to Konoha? Why didn't you tell me?" Sakura asked looking at Zentai. 

"You weren't in Konoha when I was." Zentai said plainly, shrugging her shoulders.

"Well you should have at least left a message!" Sakura pouted, her and Zentai were close and treated each other as sisters(like they did for all of their cousins) so Sakura was slightly hurt that a person she thought of as a sister didn't even inform her when she'd been in her village.

"Why should I have bothered? Sasuke would have thrown it away, mistaking it for fanmail." Zentai said, making sure to smile at her cousin so Sakura knew she ment no insult. 

"Yeah you're probably right." Sakura admitted, knowing that her husband was very overprotective.

"Well now that that's settled, I need to tell you all something." Ame said seriously. Everyone on the porch looked at the Haruno clan head curiously, interested in what she has to say. Even Sarada had quieted down noticing the atmosphere.

"What is it Okaa-san(mom)?" Haruki asked her mother.

"I've made a decision on who my Heir will be." Ame said, everyone immediately fell silent. This was a big decision. Ame's Heir would be the next leader of the Haruno clan. Knowing the responsibilities that came with being clan head most of the cousins didn't wish to be clan head. Not to mention the fact that they'd have to leave their lives behind and move to Hanagakure. 

"And I've chosen...." Everyone held their breath in suspense.

.

.

.

.

"-Haruki, to be the next clan head."

Everyone was silent for a second, before bursting into loud cheers. Everyone in the family knew that Haruki had wanted to be clan head for as long as she'd known what the position meant, and now she'd finally be clan head.

"EEK!!!!!!" Zentai squealed, happy for her cousin. The rest of the family was in a similar state, all extremely happy for Haruki. 

Haruki was in a state of shock, it not having sunk in that she was going to be clan head.

"I- I- really mama?" Haruki stuttered, not quite believing that she'd heard right.

"Yes, really watashi no musume(my daughter)." Ame said smiling warmly at her daughter.

Haruki started crying, a smile on her face. "Thank you so much Mama!" The crying 15-year-old said through her tears.

"I'll be training you on how to be clan head from now on so you'll be ready. I'll also be training you in our clan techniques. It's not going to be easy, my dear." Ame said looking at her daughter.

"I know! But I know I'll be a great clan head! I accept!" Haruki said excitement in her voice, as she hugged her mother.

"Congratulations Haruki!" Zentai said hugging Haruki, after she and Ame separated. 

"Thanks Zentai-chan!" Haruki said hugging her older cousin back.

"I'm so happy for you 'lil cousin!" Sakura said joining the hug, after she handed Sarada to Mebuki.

"Thanks Saku!" Haruki said hugging her cousins.

Haruki was congratulated the rest of the night by her family.

At 2am the family decided that it was time for bed. 

Chapter Text

🌹The next day, 2pm🦋

Zentai walked out of the house and started walking -wearing a gray t-shirt, light yellow cardigan and dark skinny jeans- her destination was her favorite place in Hanagakure, the place where her parents were buried. 

"Hey Oto-san. Hi Okaa-san." Zentai said, kneeling down in front of her parents graves. "It's been awhile, hasn't it? Sorry I didn't visit yesterday, but I wanted to catch up with the others so I could tell you both how they're doing." She continued, laying down two bouquets of Zinnias(daily remembrance) and white Chrysanthemums(purity, grief, and truth).

"But guess what, I was right to wait, because something exciting happened! Haruki is going to be clan head! Ame-obasan announced it last night." The pinkette exclaimed happily. "I have one more tidbit of information to share before telling you how everyone is doing! Saku-chan got married and she had a daughter! Her name is Sarada-chan and Saku-chan is so happy to have her child!" Zentai said a wide smile on her face. 

"Now on to how everyone is doing!" The 16-year-old said her voice happy and excited as she began telling her parents about the family. 

"Ame-obasan is doing well, but I think she's overworking herself again." 

"Ren-ojisan and Sunakai-obasan are doing good, they're considering retirement."

"Mebuki-obasan and Kizashi-ojisan are well but they seem tired, they're also considering retiring."

"Sora finally became a jonin and was moved to the T&I division in Suna. He also said that he might have found his soulmate."

"Atsu is doing great! He found his soulmate, he says her name is Soko Raisuto and that she's extremely kind."

"As I said Saku-chan got married to her soulmate and had a daughter."

"Rinto is doing great, he got promoted to jonin and he's improved in his genjutsu. He also said he might have found his soulmate."

"Hajime and Hayami are also doing well, they both got promoted to Chūnin. Hayami-chan considering becoming a sensei. Hajime on the other hand is thinking of becoming a medic-nin like Saku-chan."

"And as I said Haruki is going to be clan head!"

Zentai continued talking for a while, before looking at the sky and seeing that it was around 6pm. She needed to get home.

"Oh! Look at the time! Bye Oto-san, Okaa-san!" Zentai said, getting up from where she was kneeling, and bowing respectfully to her parents graves, before walking home.

🌹At the heads house 🦋

"Tadaima(I'm home)!" Zentai said walking in the door, only to find her elder cousins three teammates; Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto and Hatake Kakashi. Zentai despite being a Haruno was extremely introverted. So when she saw the three Konohagakure nin, she froze.

"Okaerinasai Zentai(Welcome back, Zentai)." Ame said walking into the room with tea for the guests, "I see you've met our guests." She continued calmly, setting down the tea.

"Why are they here Oba-san?" Zentai asked trying not to shy away from the shinobi in front of her. 

"They came here looking for Sakura." Ame said, sitting down on the couch across from the shinobi. 

"Ah I see, has Sakura been informed of their arrival?" Zentai asked, trying to calm her nerves now that her aunt was here, sitting down on the couch next to her aunt. 

"I asked Ema to get Arukas. Sakura had a hard time getting Sarada-chan to sleep last night, so she's taking a nap." Ame said speaking in code. What Ame was actually saying was that she asked her Inner(code name: Ema) to wake up Sakura's Inner(code name: Arukas) who would inform Sakura.

"Ah I understand, she'll be here soon then." Zentai said, picking up a cup of tea as she tried to calm herself. 

"Yes I assume so, after all Ema has yet to fail me yet." The elder pinkette said smiling warmly at the thought of her Inner.

The two Haruno's laughed and talked, ignoring the Konohagakure nin. 

About 3 minutes after Zentai got home there was banging in the hallway, as if someone was trying to run on the slick wood floors with socks on.

Sakura then appeared from a hallway to the right of the front door, near the couch, she was panting and still wearing her pajamas - a oversized black T-shirt, short shorts, and fluffy socks-. "Sasuke-kun! Naruto! Kakashi-sensei! What are you three doing here!?" The three Konohagakure nin shrunk in their seats, not wanting to face the pinkette's wrath. Or her fist.

"Hn. Sakura you just left with Sarada without telling anyone." Sasuke said, looking at his wife, although not fully looking at her. 

"HARUNO SAKURA! YOU DIDN'T TELL THEM!?" Ame yelled, only getting a small nod in response.

"Ame-obasan calm down we don't want to make the others panic. And Saku-chan why didn't you tell them? You know better." Zentai said calmly, sipping her tea and gesturing towards a chair. 

"I knew they would follow me if I told them and I just wanted to keep Hanagakure a secret. Like we were always told to." Sakura said sitting down on the chair.

"Sakura-chan..." Naruto started. 

"Am I wrong?" She asked raising her eyebrow. 

"No.." Naruto admitted sheepishly.

"Who are you to Sakura?" Kakashi asked Ame and Zentai, who had been watching the interaction between Naruto and Sakura with small smiles, happy that Sakura was being respected by at least one of her teammates.  

"You'll learn soon, we'll all introduce ourselves when the rest are up." Ame said, getting up from the couch and going to the kitchen to put away the tea cups.

"I'll go get them, Saku-chan go help Oba-san." Zentai said leaving to get her family. 

TO BE CONTINUED 

Chapter Text

🌹After Zentai gets the family 🦋

"As I promised we'll now introduce ourselves and how we know Sakura." Ame started, looking at the only non Haruno's in the room.

"I'll start. My name is Haruno Ame and I'm Sakura's aunt as well as Haruki's mother." She finished, leaving out some things, like the fact that she was clan head.

"You three should know my family but we'll still introduce ourselves. I'm Haruno Mebuki. Sakura is my eldest daughter." Mebuki said a warm smile on her face, as she looked at her daughters team. Unknown to them, Mebuki was analyzing them trying to figure out how they found Hanagakure, as it's hidden to everyone but Haruno's and those they invite. 

"I'm Haruno Kizashi and I'm Sakura's father." Kizashi said curtly, not being one to talk much even in normal circumstances and this was certainly not a normal circumstance. Even for Haruno's.

"I'm Haruno Ren. I'm Sakura's uncle and father of Atsu and Sora." Ren said politely waving at his nieces three teammates, he didn't know if he liked them or not.

"My name is Haruno Sunakai. I'm Saku-chan's aunt. And mother of Atsu and Sora." Sunakai said smiling at the shinobi, as she tried not to fidget in her nervousness, her husband noticed her uncomfortableness and held her hand.

"Hi! My name is Haruno Sora! Saku-chan is my little cousin!" Sora said energetically, a sign of his nervousness. 

"I'm Haruno Atsu, Sakura's my cousin." Atsu said simply, like his mother he was trying not to fidget.  

"I'm Haruno Rinto, Sakura's my elder sister." Rinto said, he'd already met them and because of that he wasn't as nervous as his cousins and aunt. 

"Haruno Hayami! Saku's my elder sister!" Hayami said grabbing her twins hand for comfort, like Sora she was energetic when nervous.

"Haruno Hajime, Sakura's my big sister." Hajime said stoicly like his father he tended to be quieter when uncomfortable. He squeezed his twins hand, trying to keep her calm. 

"I'm Haruno Zentai, Sakura is my older cousin." Zentai said calmly, slightly more at ease now that her family was with her. 

"My name is Haruno Haruki, Sakura is my elder cousin." Haruki said trying to imitate her mother's calm demeanor, and succeeding. 

"You're all Sakura-chan's family!?" Naruto exclaimed, surprised at the fact Sakura had such a big family... Though that would explain why she's so patient around young kids.

"Yes we are." Ame said, like her younger sister she was trying to figure out how the three had gotten into Hanagakure. 

"Unfortunately, Itsuki-ojīsan and Kaori-obaasan aren't here, they would've liked to meet you." Atsu said, thinking of his grandparents who were on vacation. 

"Why should we believe you? After all you could be hurting Sakura." Sasuke said crossing his arms. 

The Haruno's in the room looked shocked for a second before they all burst out laughing. 

"You- *wheeze* You t- think we're hurting Saku-chan?"

"You- think *wheeze* we- HA- can touch Saku-chan?" Zentai and Haruki wheezed between their laughter. 

"Well yes, you could couldn't you." Sasuke said trying to hide his embarrassment, he was not very successful. 

"Do you really have that little faith in Sakura?" Ame said slightly annoyed, wondering how her saint of a niece got a soulmate that was the exact opposite of her. Sure soulmates were supposed to complete each other, but with how little faith he seemed to have in her... Well it's no wonder Sakura was so eager to come to Hanagakure. 

"Of course not! But Sakura-chan is like our family we don't wanna lose her!" Naruto said trying to explain the feelings that he and the rest of team 7 had.

"Saku-chan is our family. We know what she's capable of doing and we believe in her skills. And we know that if she needs help, she will ask for it." Haruki said standing up for her cousin, she didn't like how they were acting like they needed to protect Sakura. Her cousin was the strongest person she knew(besides her mother).

"Haruki that's enough." Sakura said in her comander voice, trying to calm down her youngest cousin. 

"But- Saku-chan..." Haruki said, trying to make a argument but ultimately failing and sitting down. 

"Haruki." Sakura said looking at her cousin with cold, but not unkind eyes, making sure that her cousin wouldn't say anything. 

"I understand Sakura." Haruki said looking down at her lap, upset she couldn't help her cousin.

The room was silent for a moment, before Mebuki stood up and said, "Well now that you're all here you might as well stay for dinner."

'Thank Kami-Sama for Kaa-san' Ki(Sakura's Inner) thought, thanking Mebuki for getting rid of the awkward silence that had enveloped the room.

"Really?!" Naruto asked excited at the prospect of food.

"Yes really little fox, I'll start it now." Mebuki said smiling warmly, walking to the kitchen. 

"Me and Sora will help Mebuki-obasan." Atsu said, walking after his aunt. Sora following quickly after his younger brother. 

"Sakura, why did you never tell any of us that you had more family?" Kakashi asked looking at his only female student. 

"I told Rei-chan." Sakura said, smiling at her sensei knowing dam(haha) well that that's not what he meant.

(A/N Shikarei Nara or as Sakura calls her Rei-chan, is an OC of mine who is a close friend of Sakura's)

"I mean why didn't you tell me or your teammates?" Kakashi said, slightly annoyed at how Sakura had expertly dodged his question.

'Tsuyoi(strong in Japanese), let me handle this.' Ki said in Sakura's head.

'You sure, Ki?' Sakura asked her Inner hesitantly. 

'Of course I'm sure Tsuyoi!' Ki said, confident in her abilities. 

'Alright but you have to be nice.' Sakura said, trying not to let her anxiety get the better of her. 

'Yes! Yes! I know! Now let me do my thing!' Ki said exited. She could finally tell them how much they'd hurt her Outer. Their conversation had taken about 30 seconds. 

"'Cause you've all betrayed me multiple times! I have absolutely no reason to trust any of you!" Ki said glaring at her Outer's teammates, the malice in her eyes was terrifying. 

"Rei-chan on the other hand hasn't betrayed me even once, always asks my permission to use my things, always has time to talk or listen, welcomes me into her home after fights with you all, and she never ever turns me away!" Ki said using Sakura's body and mouth to express the pent up rage both she and Sakura had been hiding for years.

The entire house was silent, and for a moment before Sakura regained control.

"I'm.... Sorry, I didn't mean to lash out at you three, my sincerest apologies." Sakura said bowing quickly to her teammates before running to her room, trying to hide her tears.

"You, three seriously fucked up." Haruki said breaking the silence, knowing how loyal Sakura was and how mad/hurt she had to be to even think those things about people she loved. 

"Now get out of our village." Zentai said trying to calm her anger before she mauled them, she like Haruki knew how Sakura was and Zentai was angry for her elder cousin.

"Wha- You can't just kick us out!" Sasuke stuttered, surprised by the sudden change of the Haruno's moods and Sakura's outburst. 

"They may not be able to but I can! Get the fuck out!" Ame basically shouted, pointing at the door, as anger radiated off of the normally calm woman. Anger for how her niece had been treated, anger for how they thought they still had a say after they had hurt her.

"But-" Naruto started to protest, only to be interrupted by Kakashi. 

"Alright we'll go." Kakashi said standing up, and motioning for Naruto and Sasuke to do the same. 

"I'll lead you out." Ren said, although he had ulterior motives, he needed erase their memories of Hanagakure and of the clan.

"Thank you that would be very much appreciated." Kakashi said as he and the boys followed the red head out of the house.

Chapter Text

*Where we left off, with Sakura*

'How could I be so stupid!' Sakura mentality berated herself. For once Ki was quite knowing that she'd messed up and hoping that Sakura would forgive her.

'I never should've been so stupid! How could I give Ki control, I know how much she resents them for what they've put us through!' The pinkette's self-hatred was overwhelming her.

'How could I make such a stupid mistake! I'm so stupid!' A knock at Sakura's door snapped her out of her self-loathing. 

"Hey... Sakura it's me... Can I please come in?" Zentai's smooth and calm voice came through the door slightly muffled. 

"Uh..." Sakura hesitated, she really didn't want her younger cousin to see her looking like such a mess. 

"Give me a sec!" Sakura said, trying not to panic while also trying to clean herself up. 

"I'm coming in Saku..." Zentai said opening door only to be met by her panicked cousin. 

"Oh Saku..." Zentai said her voice soft and kind, leaving the door open a crack and walking towards the distressed pinkette. Zentai hugged Sakura gently guiding the both of them to sit on the bed.

"Why- Why did I let Arukas take control!? I knew she'd do something like what she did!" Sakura said hugging Zentai tightly as she cried. While Sakura trusted her cousin, sharing the name of your Inner was something sacred and you couldn't just tell anyone. 

"Because you both knew deep down that neither of you could keep pretending like everything is okay without burning out." Zentai said, rubbing Sakura's back letting her get out all of her emotions. 

"Take shelter from the sun and grow in shade." Zentai sang, her hand continuously rubbing Sakura's back. The song she was singing was a song that their family had been singing for generations, it had been sung to them when they were still baby's, they all knew it by heart and it often helped calm them down. 

"And walk among the trees of plans we've made." Zentai continued the song knowing it would help calm down Sakura, or at least get her into a state where she's more likely to be able to think clearer. 

"The rain will wash the sorrows away." Sora's voice sang as, the door opened and the rest of their cousins(or in Sakura's case siblings) came in, Rinto closing the door.

"And learn to soar the skies once again." Sora sang sitting on Sakura's other side.

"Believe in your destiny's hand and fly to the skies from your land-" Atsu continued where his elder brother had left off.

"-The land that you roam in times gone and far." Rinto sang interrupting his elder cousins part.

"The land that you love and all that you are." Zentai sang smiling warmly at Sakura. Zentai's smiling face seemed to say 'You're going to be alright, don't worry we'll be here for you always.'

"Reach far into the green that fills my eyes." Haruki sang sitting down on the floor next to Sakura's feet.

"-And swim the river clean of pride and lies." Hajime sang sitting next to Zentai.

"The darkness falls around me at night." Hayami continued the song sitting next to Sora. 

"And covers me with silence so bright. Believe in your destiny's hand." The cousins(- Sakura) sang.

"And fly to the skies from your land, the land that you roam in times gone and far." Sakura sang tentatively, smiling at her family.

"Believe in your destiny's hand." Zentai, Sakura, Haruki and Hayami sang smiling warmly at the others.

"And fly to the skies from your land." Atsu, Sora, Rinto and Hajime sang.

"The land that you roam in times gone and far. The land that you love and all that you are." The group of cousins sang together, soon after they fell asleep.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

12-year-old Sakura*smiling sadistically, after she was called a goody two shoes*: They made me the Hero, because if I were the Villain I would be unstoppable.

12-year-old Sasuke*whispering to Naruto*: Are we supposed to be this scared of Sakura?

12-year-old Naruto*whispering back*: I don't know, but I am now. 

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Mebuki*talking to 2-year-old Sakura after Rinto was born*: You will be his hero and his best friend... Get ready because being a big sister means a lot of responsibilities. You will have to watch over his safety. 

Mebuki*talking to both (5)Sakura and (3)Rinto after Hajime and Hayami were born*: Sure, there will always be some fights... But you will always manage to reach an agreement. They will learn many things from you, so you have to be a good role model. 

Mebuki*talking to (12)Sakura, (10)Rinto, and the (7)twins after (7)Zentai's parents died*: Being the big siblings means you will also be making the hard decisions... Yes, it is a lot of responsibility, but in the end you will feel that it was all worth it.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

7-year-old Haruki: Where did you find the strength?

Ame: We are women, honey, strength finds us.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Mebuki*talking to Sasuke when he first started dating Sakura*: So please don't break her heart, trust me she's been broken before.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Boruto: I am trying to save you! You are-

Sarada*looking at him like he's insignificant*: I am the Heir of the Uchiha clan, and I need no one to save me. Not from Momoshiki. Not from Shin. Not from anyone. I am Uchiha Sarada and I will bow to no one.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Sticks and Stones can break your bones, but 13 year old Haruno Sakura, knew that words could break your soul just as easily. 

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Kizashi*talking to Sasuke*: Sakura is a quiet and calm listener who is always there for you, but if you betray her, beware the icy shadow that creeps through.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

12-year-old Sakura*talking to Naruto*: You shouldn't be crying little brother. A King isn't made of tears, ya know?

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Boruto: So.

Boruto: I'm in love.

Boruto: With Sarada.

Boruto: I'm in love with Sarada!

Mitsuki:...

Mitsuki: ... Uchiha Sarada?

Boruto: Yes?

Boruto: Thoughts?

Mitsuki*knowing how protective Sarada's family is*: And prayers.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Sakura*sighing and pinching the bridge of her nose, annoyed at her cousins and siblings*: I leave you alone for 5 minutes and you become felons... Home. NOW.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Sakura: Haruki! We need a plan of attack!

Haruki: I have a plan. ATTACK!

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

It occurred to Sasuke and Naruto that this could have been the first time that Sakura had let herself feel the emotions that had been crippling her since... Perhaps forever. 

Sakura healed, she was a healer, and she had been a healer her entire life. 

It would not surprise either of them if she had been destroyed by Ami and then wiped her face and gotten up the next morning, flashing that bright smile that was so easy to fall for. 

They would need no convincing to believe that she did that when her patients died. 

Sakura always got back up, even when it made no sense why. 

There was always someone else to save, other people to rescue.

Sasuke and Naruto had the fleeting thought; Had that person to save ever been herself?

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Sakura: I just don't really plan on being here that long...

Tsunade: How do you want your family to remember you?

Sakura: I'm not really sure I follow?

Tsunade: You said you weren't going to be here much longer. Okay then. How do you want your family to remember you?

Sakura: As someone who tried really hard to be someone they weren't.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Haruki: Be that as it may Hanagakure, has one true ruler. Haruki, Head of the Haruno clan. Daughter of clan head Haruno Ame. Appointed head on her 18th birthday. And appointed not by the hidden villages but by her clans people themselves. It is My duty, My gods-given birthright, and My clan. I will defend it from anyone who attempts to take it!

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

7-year-old Sakura*after being bullied, questioning her worth*: Is it wrong not to be special?

Kizashi: I don't think that way, when it comes to my children, it's fine if they're not special. They don't have to be better than anyone else. After all... Just look at them! They're so cute! They're already perfect. Because they were... Born into this world.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Sasuke*about his wife*: And she says, "As long as I'm here, no one can hurt you. Don't wanna lie here, but you can learn to. If we could change the way that you see yourself, you wouldn't wonder why we're here." I don't deserve her.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Akuna*the day of her and Seto's funeral*: My little dove, please don't cry. And I'm sorry we left... But it was for the best. I know it never felt right...

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

*16-year-old Ame crouching down*

16-year-old Kenji*whisper yelling*: Ame what are you doing?

16-year-old Ame*whisper yelling back*: Taking off my shoes.

16-year-old Kenji: Why?

16-year-old Ame: 'Cause I run faster with no shoes on.

16-year-old Kenji: You can't outrun those nin!

16-year-old Ame: I don't have to outrun the nin, I just have to outrun you!

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Sarada*loses her place in a book*: SHIT!

Masaki*glaring as he covers Saeka's ears*: LANGUAGE NEE-SAN!

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Motoki*trips down a flight of stairs*: AH! GODS DAMMIT MY LEG!

Sakura*gasping at Motoki while she covers Saeka's ears*: MOTOKI! Watch your language!

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Sasuke*accidentally cuts himself*: Bloody hell!

Sarada*shouting loudly so Saeka misses the swear*: LA LA LA LANGUAGE PAPA!

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Ame*after Haruki becomes clan head*: What did you do!?!

Haruki: To be fair, I was left unsupervised.

Ame: You're a grown ass adult. 

Haruki: Who was left unsupervised.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Sakura: How are you feeling, Zentai?

Zentai: Ughhhhhhhh!

Sakura: Ok, how would you rate your pain?

Zentai: 0/10... Would not recommend *falls back asleep*

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Motoki*after meeting Kawaki for the first time*: I hate him.

Sarada*trying not to laugh*: Hates a strong word Otōto[little brother in Japanese].

Masaki*completely serious*: It's the right word.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Akemi*yelling at Emiko after she did some stupid shit*: I THOUGHT YOU WERE FIREPROOF!?

Emiko*yelling right back*: I'M NOT FIREPROOF! I'M JUST STUBBORN!

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Sakura: Esto es tu culpa! 

Naruto: I know, I know. 

Sai: You know Spanish?

Naruto: No. I just know the phrase "This is all your fault" in every language she speaks.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

13-year-old Sunakai*freaking out*: Is someone going to stop them? They're gonna hurt each other! 

15-year-old Ame*watching Sato and Ren fight*: I think they're okay. 

11-year-old Mebuki*watching Ren slam Sato onto the ground*: They're fine. 

13-year-old Sunakai: We need to stop then!

15-year-old Ame*watching Sato choke Ren with his chakra*: They're fine Sunakai. This is how siblings fight.

13-year-old Sunakai*open mouthed watching Ren pull a knife out of his pocket*: What the F-

11-year-old Mebuki*watching Sato also pull a knife out of his pocket*: It's normal for siblings to fight. Ame once chased me with an axe. 

13-year-old Sunakai*horrified*: An axe?

11-year-old Mebuki*nodding*: But that was only after I threw her through a window. 

13-year-old Sunakai: Wha-

11-year-old Mebuki*defensively*: It was on the first floor. She only sprained her ankle.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

16-year-old Ame: Look, kid bad things happen and you can't do anything about it right?

12-year-old Mebuki: Right.

16-year-old Ame: WRONG! When the world turns it's back on you, you turn your back on the world.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

12-year-old Sakura*hitting Rinto on the head*: You gotta put your past behind you.

10-year-old Rinto*rubbing his head*: But it still hurts...

Mebuki: Oh, yes the past can hurt but the way I see it you can either run from it or you can learn from it. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------

12-year-old Sarada*talking to the 9 year old twins*: Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift that's why it's called the present. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Ame*talking to Zentai after her parents died*: Zentai, your story may not have had such a happy beginning, but that doesn't make you who you are. It's the rest of your story... So Zentai who are you?

7-year-old Zentai*sightly confused*: Who am I? I don't understand. I'm Haruno Zentai, only child of Haruno Seto and Akuna.

Ame*smiling sadly at her*: That doesn't matter. Who your parents or family are, you are your own person. 

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

8-year-old Zentai: She likes her..? 

Ame: Of course she does.

7-year-old Haruki: Why say that?

Ame: A little girl, no older than 13, managed to sneak away from her. Sakura's earned her respect, and Tsunade's fiercely loyal to those who have gained her respect. 

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

12-year-old Ino: It says danger! She shouldn't be in there!

12-year-old Naruto: It's dangerous because of her!

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Sarada*yelling from another room*: MAMA!

Sakura*yelling back*: WHAT!?

Sarada: I'M HOMICIDAL!

Sakura*slightly concerned*: DID YOU SAY HOMICIDAL OR SUICIDAL!?

Sarada: HOMICIDAL!

Sakura*no longer concerned*: GOOD! KEEP IT THAT WAY! 

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Sasuke: This is a team matter.

Naruto: Sai stays.

Sasuke: This is a team matter!

Sakura: THAT'S WHY HE STAYS!

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Ame*before letting Zentai go out on her own*: Before I let you go, I want to hear those three little words.

Zentai: I love you.

Ame: Very sweet, but try again.

Zentai*grumbling*: I will behave.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

4-year-old Sakura*still learning how to read kanji*: I'm not sure what this sentence means. 

6-year-old Sora: "Ignorance is bold and knowledge reserved."

4-year-old Sakura: You can read Kanji!?

5-year-old Atsu: You can read?!

6-year-old Sora: ...That's cold, Atsu.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

12-year-old Sakura: I didn't call you stupid. 

12-year-old Naruto: Yes, you did. 

12-year-old Sakura: I didn't mean to, its just when I asked you to spell orange, and you asked me 'the fruit or the color' it caught me off guard.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Rinto*sparring Sora*: You fight like my sister!

Sora: I've fought your sister that's a compliment!

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Sakura is trying to fix the lives Sasuke has broken and take back what she built.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Ame*after Sakura punched Atsu*: SAKURA!

Sakura: What! He's alive! 

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Rando: JUST GIVE UP ALREADY!

Zentai*after getting herself in a sticky situation*: I'm a Haruno we're not exactly known for giving up.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Ren*talking to Zentai after her parents died*: What do you want to be when you grow up?

7-year-old Zentai*after seeing how cruel people can be*: Kind...

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Haruki: Don't worry I've got this. We'll carry this out under the supervision of her maj- Ahem! Pardon me. We'll get help from SAKURA THE DEVIL KUNOICHI!

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

*Kenji talking to Ame about his problems*

Ame: Yeah, I'd love to offer moral support but I have questionable morals.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Rando: I really like this whole 'Intimidating guy, innocent girl' thing you have going on. 

Atsu*because he looks intimidating*: It's not an act. It's just that Sakura looks innocent compared to me.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

12-year-old Sasuke*after a panic attack*: My tou-san said I'm not to cry.

12-year-old Sakura*realizing how emotionally constipated he is*: That is because your tou-san is incapable of human emotion. You are 12. Cry if you feel like it.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Sakura: Don't accidentally kill someone!

Hayami: Well I'm not a fucking idiot-

Atsu: -I know how to do it on purpose.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

18-year-old Ame: Oh c'mon, I didn't drink that much last night!

14-year-old Mebuki: You were flirting with Kenji.

18-year-old Ame: So what? He's my boyfriend.

12-year-old Seto: You asked if he was single-

16-year-old Ren*having way to much fun with this*: -And then you cried when he said he wasn't.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Sakura: "Have siblings" they said...

Rinto: WHO THE HELL PUTS OUT A FIRE BY FANNING IT!

Hajime: I panicked okay!!!

Hayami: Someone get the fire foam thingy!

Rinto: DO YOU MEAN THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER?!

Sakura: "It'll be fun" they said.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Tsunade: I left you alone for 5 minutes!

13-year-old Rei(the best friend of Sakura) and Sakura: -And that was your mistake.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Rei: The Haruno's may fight like dogs, but in the end they'd die for each other...

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

"You chose forgiveness, Saku, and that is always harder than the alternative." Zentai linked their fingers like she had so many times before. Her thumb traced the herb stains gently. "Forgiveness is one of the hardest things any of us will ever do, and yet that is your first reaction. That doesn't make you weak, Sakura. It makes you one of the strongest people I've ever met."

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

10-year-old Sora: What are you so interested about? There just flowers. you can see them all the time. 

8-year-old Sakura: But- But they were itty bitty seeds! And with water and a lot of sunlight, they grew up and became pretty!

10-year-old Sora*being an angsty little shit*: Yet they die even quicker.

8-year-old Sakura*being the precious little bean she is*: So that just means I have to appreciate them more, right?

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Ame: Touch my clan and I will make what Gods do to you feel like a day at the spa.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Rei*going to Sakura's house after a difficult mission*: OKAY! OKAY! Listen it wasn't entirely my fault.

Sakura*worried and stressed*: What.Did.You.Do.

Rei*holding her side*: You have to promise not to be mad...

Sakura*trying not to panic*: Okay, fine I promise.

Rei*removing her hand from her side*: I got stabbed, multiple times. 

Sakura*worried about her even more now*: YOU GOT WHAT!?

Rei*probably suffering from blood loss at this point*: HEY! You promised not to be mad! 

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Young Ame: It's quiet.

Young Sunakai: Too quiet...

Young Ren*bursts into the room*: Kenji let a snake loose in the house and Seto is trying to fight it!!

Young Mebuki*sighs*: I knew it.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Sasuke: Sakura what happened to you?

Sakura: I decided enough was enough and finally decided to turn my life into something better, where I would be happier.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Sakura*to Rinto after he did something stupid*: You picked a whole bunch of whoopsie daisies, and now you get enjoy the bouquet.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Sakura*nudging Rei*: Why are you always falling asleep on me? Am I that boring?

Rei*half asleep*: You make me feel safe. 

*Sakura blinking back tears, knowing Rei doesn't trust easily*

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Rando: Who do you call if your in danger and you need help?

Hajime*with no hesitation*: Sakura. 

Rando: What if Sakura can't help?

Hajime*completely serious*: If Sakura can't help then we're all fucked.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Tsunade: Sakura, my dearest apprentice. No matter what you choose, whatever path you take. In the end, I'm always proud of you.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Hayami*talking about Ami*: Will someone please kill her!

Rei*nonchalantly*: I have a sword buried outside, near the flowers. 

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Sunakai: Why don't you let people see the good in you?

Atsu*afraid of letting people get to close after he was betrayed*: Because when people see good they expect good. I don't want to have to live up to anyone's expectations.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Mebuki: It's okay to ask for help.

Ren: You're not a burden.

Ame: Murder is okay.

Seto: Your feelings matter.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Rinto: Now we realize that our sis ain't a saint-

Hayami and Hajime: -But she's damn well close so fuck off!

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Sakura: So how was your day. 

5-year-old Motoki: We almost-

5-year-old Masaki: -Got surprised adopted!

Sakura: What..?

8-year-old Sarada*throughly exhausted*: We almost got kidnapped. 

Sakura: YOU ALMOST GOT WHAT!?

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Rei: I don't like them.

Kizashi: Do you even like anybody? 

Rei: Number one *points at Mebuki*

Mebuki: Rei only likes me because I feed her.

Rei: Number two *points at Sakura*

Sakura: I'm pretty sure we're platonic soulmates.

Rei: And you, you're slightly better than okay. 

Kizashi: I'll take it. 

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Sora: Great, who are we killing? I won't do kids that's a rule. But that rules negotiable if the kids a dick. 

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Naruto: I don't know what we'd do without you.

Sakura: Something dumb, probably.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Ame: Someone's inability to love you does not make you unlovable.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Sora: Shall I get rid of him?

Hayami: I would love to say yes. But we really do need his help.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

5-year-old Rinto: What?

Mebuki: Get to know him.

5-year-old Rinto: What..?

Mebuki: I'd say make friends, but we both know that's hard for you.

5-year-old Rinto: Are you serious?

Mebuki: Yes.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Hayami: Your bones are always wet.

Hajime: Pray they never dry.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Itsuki: Well, I think you'll get it someday. 

Young Ame: Get what?

Itsuki: Love, silly!

Young Ame: But what if I don't want a partner..?

Itsuki: Who said anything about a partner? Love comes in all shapes, sizes, and forms, darling! Self love being one of them! It's tough to get at, that's for certain but... It's real nice to have once you have it. Don't you think?

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Zentai*sarcastic*: This will surely be a great idea..

Hajime*worried*: Are you sure he wont be mad?

Haruki*has never given a singular fuck in her entire life and doesn't plan to start now*: Oh no he absolutely will, lets go!

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Sakura and Hajime exchange incredulous looks, then follow after them. For better or for worse, having marginally more functional self-preservation skills doesn't make them cowards.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Sakura*talking about Sasuke*: Calling my lover 'mine' but not in the way that my toothbrush or notebook are mine. Mine in the way my neighboorhood is mine, and also everyone else's, 'mine' like mine to tend to, mine to care for, mine to love. 'Mine' not like posession, but devotion.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

"Fuck no, I'm not going with you," Sakura said dryly. "Because unlike all of you, I actually have a functioning survival instinct, thank you very much."

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Rando: I have your child.

Mebuki: Which one?

Rando: The quiet one?

Mebuki: Wrong, I have none of the sort.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

16-year-old Kenji*after getting attached to the Haruno's*: They are clearly incompetent. Permission to stab them.

Itsuki: Permission denied.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Sakura: I can't let you two go into gods knows where without some sort of responsible adult supervision!

Atsu: I'm 21 and Sora's twenty-two!

Sakura: I said 'responsible' adult.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Hayami: Sakura told me that brown is just navy orange, and I have never been more disappointed with something I agree with.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Sakura's eyes frosted over, "I was trained by Lady Tsunade, Sasuke. I'm non-lethal by choice. Do not test me." 

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

12-year-old Naruto*after they captured a rogue nin*: But Sasuke before we give him to Kakashi-sensei we have to do something about him!

12-year-old Sasuke: You're right what should we do with him?

12-year-old Naruto: We could-

12-year-old Sakura: You two are not going to be doing anything! I do not want to have to deal with a dead body!

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Kakashi*after he was insulted by the third Hokage*: Is there something you would like to say, Sakura? 

Sakura*being held back by Sasuke and Naruto*: Oh, there are SEVERAL things I would like to say.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Sasuke*after meeting Sakura's family for the first time*: Are they insane?!

Sakura: Sometimes.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

She was pretty sure that if she taught Sarada how to disarm a bomb, the kid would find a way to reverse engineer the instructions so she could know how to make a bomb instead. Rei would not take responsibility for that.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Ame*after Haruki and Zentai did something stupid*: You said you had a good reason!?

Zentai: I said we had a reason. 

Haruki: Not that it was a good one. 

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Zentai had never been a peaceful child. Sure, she was quiet, but peaceful?

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

14-year-old Sunakai: Was that a complement or an insult?

12-year-old Kizashi: Yes.

14-year-old Sunakai: That in no way answers my question.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

8-year-old Seto: Ame says I'm like a cockroach. 

14-year-old Kenji*in no way good with kids, very confused on why this one is speaking to him*: Small and annoying?

8-year-old Seto*knowing about Kenji from Ame's stories, trying to be friends*: No! Hard to kill.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Sakura: I swear if you're lying about pain again...

Rei: Hey! I haven't done that in two months.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Sakura*after going into an active war zone to prove herself, almost getting herself killed*: Am I in trouble? 

Mebuki: Take a guess. 

Sakura: No..? 

Mebuki: Take another guess.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Freshly married Ame*laughs*: Babe, you had a crush on me? That's embarrassing— 

Kenji*deadpan, holding up his hand*: We're married.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Part of Rinto(mostly Daitan'na) wants to be cautiously optimistic, unfortunately for that part, he is a pessimist by nature with no plans of changing.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Sarada*ready to fight a bitch*: Hey! That's my sister! And she's no bitch! But I am!

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Sora: What's the dumbest thing you believed as a child? 

Rinto*a new father, desperately needing a nap*: That naptime was a punishment.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Sarada: You probably don't even know my first nickname. 

Boruto: That's a trick question. You don't have one. 

Sarada: Marigold.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Ame*talking to Kenji*: If happy ever after did exist I would still be holding you like this.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Young Sora*is a sadist, stabbing a enemy who tried to hurt his brother*: I don't consider myself to be a particularly ethical person, but I am fair.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Sakura: Look you can insult me all you want, but you can't insult my siblings... Because only I can.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Hajime*talking about Ami*: We could stab her. That would deal with the whole problem.

Rinto: Or, we could push her off the bridge into the river.

Sakura: NO KILLING!

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Mebuki: They just want to get into your head Hayami! You are so much stronger then you let yourself believe! They won't be able to silence you if you don't want to be silenced!

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Mebuki*after the Haruno cousin's were turned into children*: Oh let them have their fun.

Kakashi: That could end horribly. 

Kizashi: Do you prefer chaos or murder?

Konoha nin: ...

Mebuki: That's what we thought.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Sakura*after being up healing Rei for 24 hours to make sure she doesn't ya know die*: Do you ever get so tired you start seeing spiders?

Rei*high off of so many pain meds*: Me when I take 17 benadryl and start seeing the hat man.

Hayami: THE WHO!?

Rei*still incredibly high off of pain meds*: Oh, is this not a safe space suddenly?

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

"Wait." Sakura shakes her head, the memory coming back to her, "Guys, did I get stabbed?"

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Sakura: I don't have a dream.

Kakashi: None at all?

Sakura*smiling coldy*: None that don't count as treason against the third Hokage.

Kakashi*has a feeling that grudge is personal, and will not be touching it until he's forced to*

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Sakura: So you and my mother. I mean, together- You two could basically-

Ame*not really paying attention*: Take over the world?

Sakura*nodding to herself*: I was going to say you could kick some serious ass, but yeah, that too.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Sakura*because although she is well adjusted, she is still traumatized*: It costs like $400 to go see a therapist, but it costs nothing to tell myself it be like that sometimes. 

Mebuki*sighing*: Sakura, no.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Masaki: Play with us!

Motoki: Play with us!

Masaki and Motoki: PLAY WITH US!

Sarada*was just trying to read*: ALRIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT! GODS! You were normal yesterday!

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Haruki: WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME!?

Sora: Well, because we wanted us all to fail-

Zentai: -OBVIOUSLY WE DIDN'T KNOW!

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Sunakai: Did you have to stab him?

Young Sora: You weren't there. You didn't hear what he said to me.

Sunakai: Well what did he say?

Young Sora: 'What ya gonna do? Stab me?'

Sunakai: ... That's-- That's pretty fair.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

All Haruno's(you hurt one of them you hurt all of them, they hold grudges): I wouldn't wish that upon my ✨worst enemy✨ unless of course we're talking about my ENEMY, ✨Ami Watanabe✨ Fuck you Ami. You know what you did.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Sora: Listen all I'm saying is, it's not my fault you thought I was normal! You had plenty of time and more than enough clues to figure that shit out on your own!

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Zentai and Haruki*t-posing in the hallway*: Good morning, parental figure. 

Ame*not looking up from her coffee*: Good morning, problem children.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

*Sakura got into a fight/finally standing up for herself*

Mebuki: This is not acceptable behavior Sakura. I am not impressed.

*Sakura gives Mebuki an incredulous look*

Mebuki: Okay fine, I'm impressed. But I'm also disappointed. Kizashi?

Kizashi*hella proud of his baby girl*: Nah, I'm just impressed.

*Kizashi high fives Sakura*

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Emiko: Ok, anyone even thinks the words 'dumb blonde', and they're going to be walking home. 

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

"Let's go Naruto!" Sakura said. "Places to go, people to annoy."

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Sakura*bandaging up Rei again*: I'm starting to think that you're trying to die!

Rei: It's not that I want to. It's just that people keep trying to kill me.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Young Ren*to Mebuki*: You're not funny.

Young Mebuki*having picked up a lot of sarcasm from him*: I'm hilarious you just have no taste.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Kakashi: You always stay positive you always believe everything is going to work out, how do you do it?

Sakura: Well, I'll tell you my secret sir. I lie to myself. Every morning, when I wake up, I say, 'Everythings gonna be okay.' But I'm lying. And I don't know how much longer I can do it.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

"Just don't jump near the railing. I think Sakura would have a stroke if you nearly fell off," Ame said, then paused, "I would have a stroke as well, so don't do it just to spite Sakura."

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

You know what? This is his fault. He should've known better than to leave Sakura alone.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

"...Fine. Maybe it's worth trying." Ame pointed at Ren, "But if this makes me look like an idiot, I swear I'll-"

"Threaten me and I'm telling ma." He cut her off, voice flat.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Personally, Sakura is alive out of spite.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Atsu: It's alright, he doesn't bite.

Sora: I do stab though.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Hajime: Hayami's remarkably durable. And I think it's because if she died she'd go to hell. And the devil will not take her back.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Haruki hates to be dramatic (that's a lie) but it could be the worst thing she's ever had to see with her own two eyes.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Confrontation was so much easier when Sora could just stab first and ask questions never.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

*Sakura heading out to see Sasuke* 

Zentai: Don't do anything I wouldn't do! 

Sakura: I think I crossed that line when I got a boyfriend.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Rando: Sakura's gonna kill me. 

Sora: No, she'll probably make me do it.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Ame: Where are you going? 

Haruki: Hell, eventually.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Sora: Soko, right hand on red.

*Soko ends up on top of Atsu*

Atsu*blushing and annoyed*: Ok you're doing this on purpose aren't you?

Sora*smiling like a maniac*: I stopped spinning 10 turns ago, I was surprised you hadn't noticed yet.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

11-year-old Zentai: I want to grow up and be like Sora! 

18-year-old Sora: That is called Acquiring Depression.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Sakura*smiling*: Don't worry, I have a permit. 

Kakashi: ... This just says "I can do what I want". In sparkly glitter cursive. 

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Sakura: My mom taught me to think before I act. 

Sakura: ...So if I smack the shit out of you, rest assured that I thought about it and am confident in my decision.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Sora, still in pajama pants and a confused fog, frowned, "Why? So I can win five thousand ryō I don’t need and talk about my feelings I actively avoid?"

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Rando: You- You terrify me, you know that?

Ame*smirks*: Flattery will get you nowhere.

Mebuki: Flattery gets me everywhere. 

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Zentai was her sister. She loved her like a sister. And when shit went down, she'd go to war like a sister. 

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Masaki: Stop correcting me!

Sarada*with a smug smile*: Stop being wrong!

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Motoki*turning to look at Sarada*: Can I kill him? *pointing at Kawaki*

Sarada: Not in public.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Sasuke: Why? After everything I've done?

Sakura: Because of everything done to you.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Sora: Oh! Guess I was wrong he does have friends.

Atsu: HEY!

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Sakura*cracking her neck, climbing out of a crater, pissed off*: What? You dumbasses really thought you could get rid of me that easily? Someone has to keep my(Naruto, Sasuke, Kakashi) morons in check.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Sakura*begging her team*: Don't make me be a princess, let me be a warrior.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Sasuke to Sakura: Alone, I hate myself. Together, you make me hate myself less. And I don't know whether to hate or love you for it.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Haruno's can look death in the eye and pretend it's a staring contest.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

Rando: Please! For the love of God! 

Sora: I've met God, they had nothing nice to say about you.

💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮

DONE!
