Itachi (5), Shiro (5)

Itachi is 5, he has a crush and he has it bad. He knows that it's foolish of him, Uchiha Itachi of all people, to have developed such a childish affection towards this person but he couldn't help it. She was almost like, like poison to him, but he couldn't help that his heart raced every time she glanced in his direction and shot a small smile at him, him.

"Hello Uchiha-san!" She would happily chirp and Itachi felt his hands get clammy.

It was foolish, his crush, but he couldn't help it, she was just so perfect and nice and pretty and did he mention that she was perfect.

"Hello Haruno-san, how are you." He would reply while trying his hardest not to stutter or make a fool of himself.

Then Itachi would go off into his own La La Land when the girl in question went on a tangent about her day, and sigh, she was just so pretty and perfect in every way.

Itachi (5), Shiro (5)

She's 5- almost 6- and Shiro clearly remembers that once upon a time her name used to be Bianchi. She also vividly recalls the look on her former (but nonetheless precious) brother's face when she took his spot in front of an enemy's bullet. It's hard, these memories of hers.

Shiro knows that her chances of returning to that life was almost zero to none and she thinks she hates it. She hates the fact that she had to leave before she could fully mend the bridge between her and her little brother and resents the thought of leaving before she could even say goodbye, and detests the fact that she wasn't able to start her own family and live a happy life there.

She really hated the memories she had of her past life. But luckily enough, maybe, just maybe, she could get used to this new life of hers here, even if the meaning of her name had also somehow transpired through dimensions and followed her into this life too.

Itachi (6), Shiro (6)

Itachi is 6 now but so is Shiro and he still hasn't gotten over his extreme infatuation of the girl.

"I'm going to be a big sister Itachi-kun!" Itachi doesn't recall when they got so familiar with each other but not that he minded or anything. He just wished that the pink haired girl would call his name like that again.

"Congratulations Shiro-san, I hope you don't start cooking out of excitement, we both know how badly that will end up." Watching a small pout form on her face made Itachi's heart skip a beat or two. He knew the exploding kitchen incident was just a mere technical accident but it was just so nice to be able to tease her for it, her cooking wasn't so bad after all.

"It doesn't matter how bad my cooking is, as long as I pour all my love into it, anyone will like what I make!" She childishly stuck out her tongue.

Of course, Itachi wanted to voice, I would love and cherish anything you made Shiro-san. But he was admittedly a coward and settled with a having a near heart attack instead.

Itachi (6), Shiro (6)

They're both 6 and have already become formidable legends in the academy, and Itachi is quite sure that he is still in actual love with the Haruno Shiro. Ironically Shiro has started to develop something called 'Poison Cooking' which thankfully she has not used on him yet.

She did, however, launch her trial runs at lightning speed at the extremely suspicious figure she'd seen leaping across the village buildings with, and he quotes, "a weird vibe" and that had caused quite an uproar in the village considering the events that conspired afterwards.

The strange figure, who had mysteriously doubled over due to food poisoning, ended up being Itachi's indisposed cousin Uchiha Obito. The cousin they later found out was dead set on setting the Kyuubi loose on the village for some god forsaken reason.

After the failed attempt on the Hokage and his wife's lives, the village's relationship with the Uchiha Clan was extremely rocky at first and it is quite obvious, but lately things were getting brighter and brighter for the clan and Itachi is proud to know that it was his and Shiro's open friendship that is allowing the village to quote: "loosen up a bit."

On top of being extremely proud of their joint achievements as friends, Itachi can't help but shiver at the fact that Shiro's 'Poison Cooking' was now classified as an S-Rank technique. If Itachi were to pass away for whatever reason, he hopes it is at the hands of his long-time crush's super high ranked abilities. Death by anything else, he decided, would be extremely short of vain.

Itachi (7), Shiro (7), Minato (25)

The several weeks following the 'Obito coming back to life and trying to kill us incident', as Kushina liked to call it, Minato felt that it was a necessary good to take a break from Obito's rehabilitation and visit the little kunoichi who single-handedly prevented what could have been the worst tragedy of Konoha history.

Minato happily nodded to himself as he sealed and had the invitation letter delivered to the Haruno household. The Hokage couldn't help but hold high standards for the girl and needless to say he was just as impressed with her as well as the company she kept.

"Hello Shiro-chan, Itachi-kun, please make yourselves at home." Minato liked to think that his charismatic charms were at least effective against the new generation of young shinobi, but apparently he was wrong according to the cautious glares the Uchiha heir was giving him. One look between Itachi and Shiro and Minato understood immediately what the young boy was going through. "I couldn't thank you enough for saving my family and Konoha that night Shiro-chan."

"It's nothing Hokage-sama, I just did what any respectable shinobi-to-be would've done in my situation." Except any current respectable shinobi wouldn't have spared Obito's life like you did Shiro-chan, Minato wanted to say.

"Regardless, Konoha, as well as my own family, owes a huge debt to you Shiro-chan- I know you've been asked about it several times before but I'd like to get a glimpse at your infamous, technique if I may?"

Itachi (7), Shiro (7), Minato (25), Obito (16)

Shiro shrugged, she didn't see why the Hokage couldn't see her poison cooking, "Sure Hokage-sama, I can show you right here." Shiro looked around and picked up the nearest vase, honestly with this technique still in the works she wasn't entirely sure if her poison cooking touch would still work but she went ahead and channeled her chakra into the tips of her fingers like she used to do with her flames.

Through sheer determination, Shiro had somehow managed to turn the whole vase, flowers and all, into a clump of purple and green ooze. "Huh I didn't think it would actually work."

"Geh what the hell." A raspy voice broke Shiro's train of thought which caused her to accidentally drop the glob onto the Hokage's floor burning directly through the ground and 7 layers more. Oops, Shiro thought before taking a look at the culprit who made her drop the once vase.

"Don't worry we'll have that fixed, also meet Uchiha Obito, the person you saved." Shiro looked at the taller and obviously older Uchiha who turned green at either the sight of her or her poison cooking, she wasn't entirely sure yet.

"I think I might have traumatized him Hokage-sama."

"We'll work on that."

Itachi (7), Shiro (7), Obito (16)

Long after the whole Kyuubi fiasco and several therapy-no-jutsu sessions from the fourth Hokage (his beloved sensei) himself, Uchiha Obito finds himself at the doorstep of one Haruno residence with a bouquet of flowers and an apology/thank you letter in his hands.

The door is opened by the same adorable little shinobi with pink hair whom he vividly remembers charging at him with a plate of something purple and green. The thought makes his stomach churn but he's a grown man now and couldn't afford to lose face in front of a pint sized kid, "Shiro-chan, I'd like to thank you for helping me with my redemption!" As he's handing the flowers over to the girl he feels a sharp gaze directed at him. Obito looks and lo and behold it is his little cousin, Itachi, giving him a Madara worthy death glare from behind the lovely little Shiro.

"Thank you Uchiha-san, I do believe in second chances so I hope you make good use of yours!" Obito grins and bid the duo a quick goodbye before getting himself the hell away from there before his stomach decides to empty its contents everywhere.

Itachi (13), Sasuke (8)

They're both 13 and boy has Itachi's little crush had unsurprisingly escalated very quickly with the rage of hormones and puberty.

"So who is this girl that always has my little Itachi-chan so red and flustered?" His mother slyly asks him one day and Itachi nearly trips over his own feet in surprise.

"W-Whatever do you mean mother." He accidently stuttered, Itachi silently curses his bad luck.

"Oh you know, that pretty, pink haired kunoichi who Sasuke tells me you always try to talk to when you're picking him up from the academy." The sinister look in his mother's eyes makes him gulp, "What was her name again Sasuke-chan?"

"Oh you mean Shiro-nee-san? She's Sakura's big sister." Itachi looks at Sasuke with betrayal and his little brother only looks back at him with a shrug.

"Right, Haruno Shiro." Itachi sends the little traitor a glare only to have him beam a bright smile back at him.

"Yeah I don't really need Itachi-nii-san to pick me up or anything 'cause I like walking home with Naruto 'nd Sakura, and we know how protective 'Nato-jii-san is so he's had 'Kashi-nii-san follow us home every day, but Itachi-nii-san keeps on insisting that it's his duty to escort us or something like that.." Itachi has never wanted to throttle his little brother as much as he did today, "But Shiro-nee-san told Sakura, who told us, that it was fun walking home with everyone so I guess it's 'kay."

"Poison Scorpion Shiro, huh, my Itachi seems to have good taste in strong women." Itachi chokes on his spit.

"O-Okaa-sama p-please." He weakly groans.

Itachi nearly dies when he hears the woman's low chuckle and excited claims of "Mebuki-chan is going to hear about this!"

Itachi (17), Shiro (18), Kakashi (26)

He's almost 18 now and Itachi wanted to throw himself in a ditch, well actually scratch that, Itachi wanted to throw his no-good senpai into a ditch.

"Thank you so much for joining me today Kakashi-senpai." Itachi watched with a minor twitch as Shiro shyly thanked the silver haired, masked man with a small blush on her face. The urge to amputate a hand or something was strong as he witnessed the other male put his hands on Shiro's head a ruffle her long and soft pink hair.

"Anything for my precious Kouhai, remember your motto Shiro-chan, 'Love will always prevail!'." And the empty dango sticks in his hand breaks cleanly in half.

Itachi (17), Sasuke (12)

"Aniki, please humor me as to why you are stalking my Sensei and Shiro-nee-san?" Sasuke shakes his head in disappointment when his older brother hastily grabs him and covers his mouth, "Please stop." He mumbles under the hand. Sasuke contemplates licking the thing off him but he refrains from doing so as he doesn't know where his brother's hands may have been in the past 24 hours.

For the longest time, if someone had told Sasuke that his brother was an actual lovesick idiot he would not believe them, but it's been 7 years since then and now Sasuke is proudly the one calling his brother an idiot.

"Listen up little brother, you will explain to me why Shiro-chan is with that terrible excuse of a man." Sasuke rolls his eyes at his brother's exaggerated exclaims and contemplates telling him the truth... Nah.

"Isn't it obvious?" a small mischievous, Uchiha-worthy smirk begins to form on his face, "They're on a date." The face of a broken man has never looked so good on a person before, at least Sasuke thinks so.

Itachi (17), Sasuke (12), Sakura (12)

"Isn't that so funny Sasuke, your brother is an actual idiot." Sakura joins Sasuke in poking a sheet-white Itachi, who was tipped over in fetal position, with a blunt kunai she keeps on her just for the sake of doing this to Itachi. "How many years has it been now? 6? 7? And he still doesn't remember what's coming up in a few days?" Sakura shakes her head in disappointment.

Once-upon-a-time Sakura had genuinely looked up to the handsome Uchiha and her beloved Onee-chan and admired how nice they looked together. And Once-upon-a-time she even held her own crush on the Uchiha in her class in hopes that they could also look as good together as his brother and her sister did. But that was also 7 long years ago and now she knows very well how foolish she acted.

Sakura looked at the real sad excuse of a man who was still laying on the dirty ground in the middle of one of Konoha's busiest markets, Uchiha Itachi was an actual idiot and by extension, all Uchihas were crossed off her list of potential suitors.

Itachi (17), Sasuke (12), Sakura (12), Naruto (12)

"What the hell, not this shit again!" Naruto liked to think that it was his civic duty as a proud ninja of Konoha, and the Hokage to-be, to maintain the safety of the streets in Konoha, but this, this was honestly getting old.

It was supposed to be a simple stroll down one of Konoha's busiest market streets really, but he just had to have happened to come across his two best friends and their older brother figure engaged in a familiar scene that always seems to replay itself every year on the same day, at the same time, and even in the same place. It was getting old. "Itachi has some serious issues dude." Naruto sighs and so does Sakura and Sasuke. "Want me to kick 'em?" He asks but does so anyways, with or without Sasuke's permission. If anyone asked it was a grand privilege to be kicked by the Hokage's son anyways.

Naruto continues to nudge the older, but sadder, male with his foot until it seemed like the guy was starting to respond.

"Ah hello Naruto-kun, Sakura-chan, little brother, it seems as though I was having an unpleasant dream where Shiro-chan and Kakashi-senpai were going on a date today." Naruto can acknowledge that his grades weren't so good back at the academy and that he wasn't the sharpest kunai in the pouch, but at least he can be proud of the fact that he wasn't this utterly hopeless. He shook his head in disappointment, and to believe he, Namikaze Naruto, kind of used to look up to this man.

Itachi (17), Sasuke (12), Sakura (12), Naruto (12)

"It wasn't a dream Aniki, Shiro-nee-san and Kakashi-sensei are really going on a date today." For some ungodly reason Sasuke felt like ruining his brother's day some more.

His jokes, however, were received by a strong punch to the back of his head. "Don't tease Itachi-onii-san like that you idiot, he already has it hard enough being the lovesick, blind, fool he is!" Sasuke shakes his head and apathetically looks at his brother who seemed deeply affected by his friend's jabs at his flawed personality.

Sasuke couldn't help but mutter 'Gorilla-girl' under his breath only to have her punch him in the same exact spot at the back of his head again. Damn her good sense of hearing and damn Naruto for just standing there and laughing at his misery.

Itachi (17), Sasuke (12), Sakura (12), Naruto (12)

"Don't worry about them Itachi-onii-san, remember love will always prevail, besides don't you know what time of year it is already?" Itachi pauses and thinks long and hard about what his cute little sister meant by that comment. Time of year? It's almost June… June?

"My birthday?"

"Congratulations brother, you're not a total idiot after all!" Itachi wonders when his cute little brother had become so vicious and sarcastic. Then Itachi remembered that this exact scene has been happening for the past 7 years already and nearly pounds his head on the floor. He groans and he swears he can hear his little siblings sigh in disappointment.

"I have to see her."

"We've been waiting 7 years for you to say that."

"Go get 'em tiger."

Sasuke (12), Sakura (12), Naruto (12)

Sakura and her boys watch with big grins on their faces as their Itachi-onii-san bolts off in the direction of their Shiro-nee-chan.

"Onee-chan doesn't like the idea of money at all but she still saves enough of it to get Itachi-onii-san big, meaningful birthday gifts every year." Sakura sighs. "Isn't that so romantic?"

"If my brother wasn't such a big idiot maybe." Sakura couldn't help but agree with her friend, if only.

"Maybe if he would stop acting like such an overprotective boyfriend and y'know actually be her boyfriend?" Sakura nods, Naruto was right, it wasn't even like they were dating or anything, even after 7 whole years.

It was so obvious that Shiro-nee really liked Itachi-onii-san, but because Sakura understood the feelings of a maiden in love, she wasn't going to push her Onee-chan into asking the coward out, that was a man's job anyways.

"I'm going to see Shikamaru-kun now, the celebration dinner is at 7, see you later guys." Haruno Sakura's job here was finished and now she was headed to see her own prince charming, well actually more like her sleeping beauty.

Itachi (17), Shiro (18)

It's been 18 years since she's left that world.

13 years since she became an older sister again.

And 7 years since she's fallen in love.

Shiro doesn't remember much from her past life aside from little snippets of her beloved brother, Hayato, and blurry images of the man she once loved and dedicated most of her life to. But that doesn't matter now, because those things didn't exist anymore.

Now she had Itachi, who has never left her side for the past 17 years, and she has an adorable little sister named Sakura and by affiliation she also has 2 other younger siblings named Sasuke and Naruto. Not only that, Shiro had loving parents and even an annoying Senpai who treats her like his little sister and always ruffled her hair, not that she minded or anything.

Shiro really misses Hayato, and Reborn, and hell even Tsunayoshi. But here she's gone so far now that she couldn't just simply go back to those days.

It's been 7 years since Shiro had decided to quit longing for a way to go back home, 7 years since she's accepted her life in Konoha, and 7 years since she's fallen head over heels for Uchiha Itachi.

"Haruno Shiro, I love you." And just like that Uchiha Itachi has once again brought a new color into her life.

Itachi (20), Shiro (20), Shikamaru (15), Sakura (15)

"So Itachi, my love, how does it feel to be a daddy?" Shikamaru is the one who, at their little family get together for Itachi's birthday, processes Shiro's curt sentence the fastest. Needless to say he whips his head around, faster than he thinks he's ever done before in his entire 15 years of life, to look at his future sibling-in-laws with wide eyes.

If someone had told Shikamaru 4 years ago that on this day he was going to be sitting inside the Uchiha compound dating one Haruno Sakura and about to get the news that he was going to be a future uncle to the Uchiha Itachi's kid, he would have scoffed, laughed at them and then gone back to taking a nap. Yet here he was processing this news whilst sitting next to his squealing girlfriend, all while watching the next Uchiha heir freeze up like the loser they had all established him to be all those years ago.

"Shika, our future kids better be as cute as nee-chan's!" Shikamaru leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes with a long sigh leaving his lips as soon as Sakura immediately turned her attention back to Shiro and Itachi to congratulate them again. "What a drag." He couldn't help the small smile that made its way onto his face.

Itachi (25), Shiro (25), Hayato (5)

"'Itachi- my sweet honey, do you think we could commission a D-rank for our younger siblings to watch over Hayato-chan while we go on a date this weekend?" Itachi nearly spits out his tea, at 25 he's still not used to the endearing pet names his beloved wife, yes wife, calls him from time to time.

The 25-year-old jonin composes himself and clears his throat, "Of course love, I don't think Sasuke or Sakura would mind watching their nephew for a few hours."

"How about we make that a few days so that Hayato-chan could maybe get a little sibling?"

"Of course my dear-" Itachi freezes mid-sentence as his brain finally catches up to what his beloved Shiro had just uttered. He sits there frozen as a smirk just makes its way to Shiro's beautiful, breathtaking face. It takes him a few more minutes and his lovely wife to leave the room for his mind to fully catch up, "Shiro wait what did you mean by that-" His wife only chuckles as she moves farther and farther away to probably tend to their adorable son, "S-Shiro wait-".

Itachi will admit that he is most definitely a love-sick fool.

Hi, okay so it's been literal YEARS since I've posted anything here and I decided that this has stayed in my drafts long enough. Just a heads up, the parentheses are age estimates cause the Naruto-verse has made it unbelievably difficult to figure out everyone's ages aside from the main cast... Also yes I changed Bianchi's name to Shiro because I'm under the impression that Bianchi is most definitely not a Japanese name and that the closest equivalent to it in meaning would probably be Shiro.

Anyways thank you for reading this! It's 100% complete and written for FUN so there's obviously going to be a bunch of logical fallacies regarding the original Naruto plot lol. I hope you enjoyed it though! Meanwhile I shall be trying my hardest to rewrite all of the fics I have posted here because I'm not entirely satisfied with any of them... (p.s. Sorry for any mistakes you might find!)
