Sakura is sitting on the porch facing the back garden as her feet are dangling off of it. Her body is covered in a light blue yukata decorated with baby pink cherry blossoms. Her now mid-back pink hair caresses the Uchiha Clan symbol proudly displayed on her back. Her hair brushes her face with the wind as the familiar sound of wind chimes fills her ears.
She observes the pink blossoms gently swirling in the wind and landing on the porch for a moment before returning to the sparring match in front of her. Her brother and Naruto are having one of their friendly sword-fighting matches again. Though this time they are using actual katanas instead of wooden swords. Yoshirou tries to land a hit but Naruto dodges with a chuckle. Yoshirou drops to the ground and makes Naruto trip over his foot. Naruto lands with a thud and shouts a breathy 'I am okay, Hinata-chan". Sakura glances at Hinata who is also observing the match beside her. The shy girl gives a sigh as she puts her hand to her chest. Naruto always comes out with some kind of injury after his sparring sessions. This time it might be a bump on the head.
Sakura looks at Yoshirou who turns his head towards her with a wide grin on his face. His hair is now longer and his eyes shine with happiness. She reminds herself that he is a head taller than her now. He will make all the girls swoon when he is older though he already has half the female population stalking him on his patrolling hours. He gives a surprised huff as Naruto tackles him to the ground while he is too observed in grinning at Sakura. Sakura giggles as the two wrestle on the grass and bites down on a stick of dango.
She savors the sweet taste as she chews and swallows to take a sip of the green tea that Hinata hands her. She sets the cup back down and leans on her arms as she looks up into the afternoon sky. It's been over a year now since she has married Sasuke. They had gotten married a few months later after his proposal in the gardens.
The whole Uchiha Clan and the police force had been shocked when they had learned of Sakura's true identity. The Council hadn't taken the news well but was soon silenced by Fugaku. He also wasn't too excited about the sudden marriage but Mikoto made him see clearly and he rather quickly accepted Sakura into the family. Mikoto was thrilled with the upcoming wedding and happily welcomed Sakura. Sakura's devotion to her son and sweet personality quickly won her over. Mikoto soon became another mother to her.
Three months before the wedding Sakura had taken a journey to her Clan's official residence with her uncle and brother. They had been welcomed back with much happiness and tears of joy. Her grandfather, who is the current head of the clan, had patted her head and hugged her like he had when she was a child as tears had streamed down his aged face. He had been relieved and overjoyed when he had heard that she and her brother had survived the terrible murder of their family.
Sakura had been taken on a tour of Haruno Clan's residence by her grandfather and had been out of breath by the end of the day. She had wondered how her grandfather didn't break a sweat throughout the whole day. The Haruno Clan residence was in the mountains surrounded by countless cherry blossom trees. The houses of the Haruno district were decorated with golden dragons and flowers wrapped in vines. The Haruno residence was peaceful yet lively at the same time. Children happily ran around the streets with the life bustling all around.
Sakura had become teary-eyed at some point. She had wondered why her parents had left such a wonderful place. They might have been alive today if they had stayed. Her grandfather had explained that her father had always been an adventurous boy as he was growing up so when he had married the love of his life he hurried to get out and see the world. His brother had followed him in order to impress their father by being independent too but unfortunately ended up as a tragedy.
Sakura remembered the day she was revealed the contents of the scroll she had protected with her life since she was a child. She hadn't been able to sleep much the night before the revelation but had been fully awake the next day. She had looked calm on the outside but could hardly sit still from the suspense she felt as her grandfather unraveled the scroll. Her brother hadn't felt much different.
The scroll had held the secret medical recipes from different sicknesses passed down from generation to generation and also the clan's infamous and unique fighting style. This information had often been the cause of attacks from different clans so that is why it was to be kept a secret and protected by the clan's successor. As Sakura had been revealed these facts she was greatly saddened by the fact that her own uncle had appointed an assassin just to get the scroll to the possible treasures of the clan. Sakura thought this information was more valuable than any kind of treasure but she doubted that her uncle expected knowledge to be the ultimate treasure of the Haruno Clan.
She had declined the position of the Head of the clan and appointed her brother as one instead. He would take control when he would come of age. She would still be allowed to make and help out with any decisions needed to be made for the clan but Yoshirou would be the official head. Satoru had taken over for now as he was one of the most trusted people her grandfather had. She was sure he would be a great leader before Yoshirou's time comes.
Yoshirou had been astonished by his sister's decision but also very honored that she saw him to be excellent for the position. Her grandfather had accepted her choice with a smile and looked forward to Yoshirou's "rule".
A few days before the wedding, Sakura had taken Sasuke to her parents resting place. She had revealed her story to him and he embraced her as she spilled her heart out to him. He held her tightly as she finally allowed her mask to break. He had promised to protect and love her and never let anything happen to her.
After the official ceremony of the wedding had ended the whole town celebrated their wedding day. Their friends and family along with the entire police force had cheered once they had exited the building where the ceremony had been held. Tsunade even shed a few tears as she saw Sakura in the white wedding kimono with the brightest smile on her face.
Tsunade had also revealed her identity as the famous warrior and was properly honored by the Uchiha family. Her name had become even more well known around the country and women were soon allowed to enter the Uchiha police force. Tenten had been the first one to join, of course with many protests from Neji.
Sakura had become less serious and her true loving personality had soon made an appearance. She turned out to be the most loving and sweet girl, which is often said by Mikoto. Sasuke had fallen in love with her even more and cherished her like she was his treasure.
Sakura was brought out of her reverie when Naruto breathlessly dropped in front of Hinata and put his head on the girl's lap. Hinata lovingly patted his head and he slowly dozed off. Sakura heard shouts and turned her head to see Tenten and Ino rounding the corner with giggles. Tenten held a katana and Ino some kind of map as they ran on the wooden porch. Neji and Shikamaru soon breathlessly rounded the corner as they chased after their wives.
Sakura jumped slightly as she felt a pair of strong arms wrap around her waist. She smiled when Sasuke lovingly kissed the side of her head and she sighed as she leaned into his chest.
"How are you feeling?" he asked as he snuggled his cheek into hers.
"Wonderful." She replied as she giggled and rested her hands on his.
He gently rubbed her stomach and she looked down when she felt a sudden movement.
She stared at her six month protruding belly with surprise and Sasuke's movements halted when he noticed it too.
"Sakura…" he said unsure as he met her eyes with surprise.
"The baby moved…" she replied breathlessly.
He smiled in return and cupped her face as he gently kissed her.
Tears gathered in her eyes as she lovingly caressed her stomach.
"You will be a wonderful mother." He said as he embraced her tighter.
She smiled and shyly kissed him on the lips.
Naruto cracked an eye open and mumbled a 'Get a room, you two.'
Sakura didn't hesitate to thump him on the head. She still had her infamous temper.
