It was a Tuesday and it happened to be late summer. A searing heat of waves filled the area. As always the Uchiha compound with a clan now restored was bustling with activity.
In a grand room that appeared to be a classroom a mother of five sat trying to teach her children about their history. This mother was none other than Sakura Haruno who currently was twenty five.
She sat in front of a projector and her children sat in front of her in a semi circle. two years old Itasuke on the far right, four years old Sarada beside him with one year old baby Sayaka in her lap, Sarada’s twin sister Satsuki sat beside her sisters, and on the far left sat Daisuke the twin brother of Itasuke.
Satsuki twirled her pink hair in wonder the gears in her mind already shifting as she tried to figure out what they were doing.
“Okay listen my babies. Me and Sasuke-kun—“ Sakura began smiling sweetly.
Sarada, her oldest daughter started to pout, “but I thought papa’s name was darling? That’s what you always call him!!” Sarada’s siblings all nodded in agreement.
Sakura blushed, feeling slightly embarrassed, “Although that’s not his name—“ all five kids stared at her while frowning.
She sighed, “fine. Me and Sasuke darling come from very different clans and you children have a very rich background so I’ll explain it to you.”
All the kids nodded their heads, seemingly a mixture of excitement and determination.
Sakura proceeded to point at a chart, “it all started when Indra Otsutsuki and Nanami Sakuya Mikami fell in love and had 7 kids. Out of those 7 kids only 3 survived. Uchiwa, Haruno, and Nerida. Nerida had a son who she named Kaguya after her great grandmother Kaguya Otsutsuki. After that the Uchiha clan, Haruno clan, and Kaguya clans were developed and over time they forgot their relation to each other.”
Satsuki nodded her head with all the seriousness only a child of Sasuke Uchiha could muster. Her black eyes were already calculating.
Sakura giggled slightly before continuing, “the Kaguya clan was a clan of… Well savages isn’t exactly how I’d put it but I can’t think of anything better. The Haruno clan was a clan of beauty and flowers. Meanwhile the Uchiha clan was a clan of love, hatred, and power. The Kaguya clan later on became extinct while the Uchiha and Haruno clan still live on through you my sweetlings.”
Daisuke’s green eyes shimmered at the implication, “mama, mama!! Does that mean we’re basically legendary?!” The pink haired woman nodded her head enthusiastically, “Yes! Even without your bloodlines you already were.”
Suddenly Itasuke stood up and began to take wobbly steps over to his mother, “mama.” He stated simply. Sakura sighed, running a hand through his rose hair. “Now shall I continue?” A chorus of yes filled the room.
“Indra Otsutsuki had a brother named Asura Otsutsuki. He married a woman from a village he took care of. Her name was Kanna. They ended up having four kids but sadly only Kanna ended up having fertility issues.”
Sarada blinked, “what’s fertility issues?” Satsuki scowled at her, “it’s when people have trouble to have babies, idiot.” Sarada’s eyes widened at the implication and she shouted in indignation, “I’m not an idiot!!” Sayaka who was sitting in Sarada’s lap cooed curiously as if trying to convince her sisters not to fight.
Sakura sighed, “calm down you two. I’d appreciate it if you both stopped arguing so I could continue.”
After a few seconds of silence Sakura spoke again, “Out of the four of Asura and Kanna’s children only one survived which was their son Senju. As time progressed Senju created the Senju clan and later on the Senju clan also split into the Uzumaki clan and they became sister clans. The Senju clan were known for being masterful in all jutsu areas and their strong love though not as strong as an Uchiha’s and the Uzumaki clan was known for their strong fuinjutsu, longevity and red hair.”
“Is that why Sayaka has red hair? Because we’re part Uzumaki and the red hair gene is strong?” Satsuki questioned. Sakura nodded her head, impressed by her daughter’s intelligence, “yes but I’ll get to that later.” She replied.
“Sadly no full Uzumaki exists anymore the closest to one would be your auntie Karin although she’s still a quarter mix of Haruno and Senju. Your uncle Naruto is half Uzumaki and I’m only one tenth Uzumaki so it really did shock me that Sayaka inherited the Uzumaki gene.”
All the kids nodded with interest, “continue!” Daisuke exclaimed.
Sakura hummed in approval, “I’ll start with your father’s side of the family. Through the Uchiha clan line Tajima Uchiha had five children but only two survived long enough to have children. Madara Uchiha and Izuna Uchiha. Madara married a woman named Hanami Konohana Haruno.
“Konohana sounds really similar to Konoha.” Sarada stated with a puff of her chest. Sakura nodded her head, “yes. It’s theorized Madara based the village’s name off of his wife.” Sarada swooned, “that’s romantic!” Satsuki rolled her eyes.
Sakura sighed at her children’s antics before deciding to continue, “The couple ended up having five kids but only two survived. Maki Uchiha had a grandson named Obito Uchiha while her brother, Mamoru’s two children died before they could have kids.”
Itasuke pouted clearly looking upset. Sakura snuggled him more tightly, “while it is sad it’s just the way things go.” Itasuke nodded his head while sniffing. “Don’t mind me keep speaking.” He stated simply. He truly was his father’s son.
“Meanwhile Izuna was expecting a baby with his wife but he died while she was 2 months pregnant. She gave birth to a baby named Kagami Uchiha. Kagami Uchiha had 2 kids Daiki Uchiha father of Shisui Uchiha and Mikoto Uchiha mother of Itachi Uchiha and Sasuke Uchiha. Mikoto-san is your grandma. So Obito and Sasuke darling are third cousins. Shisui and Sasuke are direct cousins.”
The children all nodded their heads, “that was a bit confusing…” Daisuke muttered. “That’s because you’re an idiot.” Satsuki deadpanned. Daisuke growled, “Tsuki don’t say that!!”
Sakura quickly made a statement that she hoped would intrigue the kids and cease their excessive fighting, “For me my family is more… complicated.” The kids appeared extremely interested in the story, immediately quieting down, so Sakura continued.
“My paternal great grandfather is Tobirama Senju, the second hokage. He was the brother of the first hokage Hashirama Senju. Tobirama Senju was also the one who killed Izuna Uchiha. Before you kids say anything, I know it’s strange how things end up.” Sakura paused to see if there were any questions. “Tobirama married a Senju woman and they had a child named Taiji Senju who married a woman named Sayo. Now Sayo happened to be Senju half Hatake and then she gave birth to Kento Senju, my papa. You see the half Hatake half Senju woman my grandfather married was the sister of Sakumo Hatake grandpa Kakashi’s father so Kento and Kakashi were second cousins making me Kakashi-sensei’s second niece. Your grandma Tsunade is also related to me since Hashirama and Tobirama were brothers.”
The young ones looked overjoyed. “Wow we’re related to the first, second, fifth, and sixth hokage!!” She exclaimed with starry eyes. Daisuke quickly chimed in, “So grandpa Kashi really is grandpa?! And grandma Tsunade is also really grandma!!” Sakura nods her head.
“My great grandmother was Mito Uzumaki. I’m unsure if you’re aware but she’s the wife of the first hokage. No, she did not cheat on her husband Hashirama and remained faithful to him all her life. What really happened was that grandpa Tobirama was attempting to create an artificial life. After he accidentally created a child for her by mixing her dna with a random Senju’s dna. Realizing his mistake he attempted to destroy the clone but she was smart. She created a clone of herself and Tobirama has assumed he successfully killed her. I mean he felt bad since the girl was his creation but if Mito knew he had used her DNA and created her a daughter without her consent she’d be livid.”
The children giggled clearly entertained by the story. Even Sayaka clapped blurting out a singular word, “silly!”
Sakura allowed herself to giggle too, “the girl escaped giving herself the name Miko. A name similar to her supposed mother Mito. Miko ended up marrying a Haruno man and having twins. Sayuki Haruno and Kiyo Haruno. After accidentally revealing her Uzumaki ability. For a bit of background to inherit the Uzumaki gene one must have red hair. My mama Sayuki had dark pink hair while my auntie Kiyo had red hair which means that Sayuki didn’t have a strong Uzumaki gene but Kiyo did. During that time the Uzumaki were being hunted down by all nations due to the fact they were so strong. Sadly, Kiyo was kidnapped and separated from her family. She ended up procreating with a full blood Uzumaki creating your auntie Karin Uzumaki while Sayuki Haruno and Kento Senju created me your mama. Do you understand? I’m sure it may be a bit confusing.”
All five kids dipped their heads. “I think it’s cool!! That means Sayaka will inherit the Uzumaki clan kekkei genkais?” Sarada asked. Sakura nodded her head, “I would assume so.” Sayaka, hearing her name mentioned, babbled trying to crawl out of Sarada’s hold.
Satsuki looked smug, “so we’re Uchiha, Senju, Haruno, Hatake, and Uzumaki. That moron Boruto will be so jealous. He’s only Uzumaki.” She declared proudly.
Sakura felt a bit nostalgic at her words, “Satsuki… What did I say about being mean?” Satsuki immediately slumped, “sorry…”
Suddenly Itasuke perked up, “mama… How are babies made?” Sakura blinked, turning as pink as her hair, “huh?! Why are you asking that?” Itasuke shrugged, “I’m curious!! You keep talking about developing clans and stuff…” Sakura sighed, poking her son’s forehead, “Sorry. I’ll tell you another time, Itasuke.” Itasuke clutched his forehead while pouting, his green eyes shining.
“I’m home.” A masculine voice called out. All of the children perked up immediately running towards the door. Sayaka was slower though attempting to crawl over. She had always been a daddy’s girl. Sakura sighed and scooped her up before walking over to the front where the kids were climbing Sasuke.
Sakura handed Sasuke the eccentric baby as she took his coat off, “long mission today darling?” She asked, slowly hanging the coat.
Sasuke grunted, “something like that.” Daisuke excitedly jumped up and down, “papa, papa!! Today mama taught us about our heritage and it’s so cool!!” Sasuke looked up at Sakura, his eyes twinkling with amusement, “she did huh?” He muttered while ruffling Daisuke’s raven hair.”
Slowly the entire family moved to the bedroom. It was already late and all of them were exhausted. Sasuke and Sakura lay beside each other as their kids climbed on top of them and they all began cuddling on the bed.
Sayaka and Sarada were cuddling Sasuke. Satsuki and Itasuke were on Sakura while Daisuke was in the middle humming contentedly.
As they began to settle in, Sakura allowed herself a big smile. Though life has been difficult at times… Moments like these are what made it worth it.
