Konoha, Year 11 A.N.B

"I'm going to look for Akira and Akane to depart for school, mom!" Sasuke yelled back into the house as he put on his shoes, preparing to leave.

"Wait, Sasuke! I'm coming too!!" a girl's voice quickly called out from inside.

"Tsk. Don't be a bother, Satsuki. You should have been ready by now. Hurry up if you want to come!" Sasuke replied, bothered.

Hurried footsteps soon followed as a beautiful, budding little girl appeared from the hallway, stopping beside Sasuke and taking a pair of shoes.

"Sasuke, you should treat your sister better. You both are twins, after all. You should be more like Akira with Akane." Mikoto softly chided her son as she appeared. Then she looked at her daughter. "Satsuki, give my greetings to your aunt from me. Tell her that I say hi and I will visit her later."

"Fine, mom." Sasuke replied tiredly to his mother. Then he looked at his twin sister. "Ready?"

"Ready!!" Satsuki cheerfully said as she stood up. "I will send your greetings to Aunt Sayuri, Mom. See you later!"

"Have a good day at school!!" Mikoto said as she saw both her children go away.

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

*Knock* *Tap* *Knock*

"Coming!!" A woman's voice sounded from inside the house.

After a moment, the door opened.

"Sasuke! Satsuki! Good morning! Come inside, my lovely nephew and niece." Sayuri said as she saw the children of her sister at the door.

"Hi! Aunt Sayuri!" Satsuki cheerfully greeted her with a hug and kiss.

"Good morning, Aunt Sayuri. Is Akira already ready to go to school?" Sasuke, unlike Satsuki, greeted her warmly but did not kiss her. He coolly entered the house as if he were a grown-up.

Sayuri smiled, seeing Sasuke. "They are both up; they were having breakfast. Do you want some, Sasuke, Satsuki?"

"Sasuke, I'm here." A loud voice sounded from one of the rooms along the hallway.

"No, thanks, aunt. We already had breakfast. Besides, we have little time; we would be late for school." Sasuke said quickly to his aunt as he moved along the hallway into the room from where the voice came.

"Well, if Akira takes his time as always, I want some breakfast, aunt." Satsuki said cutely as she showed her tongue mischievously to her aunt.

Sayuri chuckled. "Come, Satsuki. Let's see how long it takes for your cousin to be ready today."

"Aunt, before I forget. Mom said that she said 'Hi' and that she would visit you later." Satsuki stopped for a second in her tracks and said to her aunt Sayuri.

"Oh! Thanks for telling me, Satsuki." Sayuri smiled upon hearing that. "Come, let's see what both your cousins are doing."

A while later.

A lovely grandma was cleaning the street beside her house as they were moving out of the Uchiha clan compound.

"Good morning, children. Are you all already going to school?"

"Yes," Sasuke replied as he was in front of everyone.

"Good morning, grandma," Satsuki and Akane called out.

"Good morning." Akira respectfully followed after them.

"That's good, children. You need to learn everything you can so you can grow up strong," the grandma smiled at them. "Just like your brother, Sasuke. I saw him just a moment ago; he is already a man now."

"And one great ninja. Look at him graduating from the academy at eleven years old and being the first of his group. Besides, he became Chūnin at the age of fourteen, right?"

Sasuke, hearing her praise his elder brother, became motivated. "Yes, besides, he could use his Sharingan since he was eight years old."

"Right, how could we forget about that? That child is a proud thing for us, the Uchiha, without a doubt." The grandma nodded. "And you, children? How are you doing?"

"Eeh." Satsuki, Sasuke, and Akane were scratching their cheeks, thinking about what to say to that, while Akira was unbothered by what the old lady was saying. By his merits, Itachi should envy him. If he had more time, he would surpass him without a sliver of doubt.

Suddenly, an old gentlemen appeared. "Dear, stop saying stupid things to the kids, could you?"

"What do you mean, darling?" The old lady said as she looked at her husband.

"Listen, children. All of you belong to the Uchiha clan, the brightest gem of Konoha. You all have to have faith in yourselves." The old man continued, motivating them. "Someday, you all would be excellent and proud ninjas, just like Itachi and other known ninjas from our clan before him."

"Mhm. See you later, lady, gentleman," the group called out as they left, continuing their way to ninja school.

"Always try your best!!!" The old man yelled after them.

"Study hard and good!" The old lady called out from their vanishing backs.

Ninja School.

"Kurenai-sensei, you are so beautiful this morning. I think I'm falling in love." Akira said, not wasting time, as he saw their teacher for the first class in front of the class after entering the classroom. "Would you like to be my girlfriend, sensei?"

"Good morning, children." Kurenai smiled as she heard that. After looking at the doorway of the classroom, she saw the group that came inside and the source of the voice.

"And good morning to you too, Akira. I'm happy to see that you are ready to learn a lot this morning. Go and have a seat, please." Kurenai said with a grin as she looked at him.

"But, Sensei, you haven't answered my proposal yet!!!" Akira said exaggeratedly as he looked at Kurenai.

"Come on, Akira!" Satsuki and Akane dragged Akira away from Kurenai-sensei as they made their way to their seats.

"Good morning, Akira-kun." A voice sounded beside Akira as they sat.

"Good morning, Hinata." Akira smiled brightly as he saw the girl. "How many times do I have to say that you need to just call me Akira, Hinata? After all, we should be closer, Hinata. I want you to be my girlfriend too."

"A-Akira...-kun." Hinata stuttered with a red face as she heard what he said to her, inside her, she was so happy that she would faint if it wasn't that she was getting accustomed to it by now.

"Akira, don't bother Hinata-chan so early in the morning." Akane chided her brother. "Good morning, Hinata-chan."

"Good morning, Hinata-chan." Satsuki also greeted her.

"Good morning, Akane-chan and Satsuki-chan." Hinata softly replied back to them.

"Good morning, guys. You took your time today." Another girl's voice sounded a step higher over them.

"Good morning, Ino! My lovely girlfriend." Akira smirked and sent a flying kiss to her.

"Good morning, Akira," Ino answered back as she sent a kiss of her own to him, not denying what he said as they were a couple, even if she knew that Akane and Satsuki were to be married to him.

"Morning, sisters." Ino said to Satsuki and Akane. Then she looked at Sasuke. "'Morning, Sasuke."

"Good morning." Sasuke nonchalantly said.

"Oh! Almost forgot. Good morning, Sasuke-kun." Hinata quickly called out.

"Morning." Sasuke said boredly.

"Good morning, Sasuke-kun!!." A girl called out excitedly beside Ino. Then she looked at Akira and the rest. "Morning, guys."

"Morning, Sakura." Akira replied back normally. Then, he looked at Shikamaru and Choji and sent them a hand signal as greetings.

Suddenly, a loud bang was heard at the classroom entrance as the door flung open, and from there entered two children, a blonde kid and a blonde girl with long pigtails.

"Good morning, everyone-dattebayo!!!" Naruto called out loudly to everyone.

"Naruto! Be less loud!" The girl beside him said as she gave him a nudge. Then she looked at Akira, Satsuki, Akane, Hinata, Ino, and Sakura and called out. "Good morning, Akira!!-dattebane. Good morning, Girls!"

"Kami, these kids, they don't stop ever." Kurenai sighed as she awaited everyone to be in their seats and quiet. "Alright. Quiet everyone, please. Take your handbook from under the table and open it on page 15. We will start learning today about...." And so the class passed.
