“Where did you find her?” Hiruzen looked at the small baby in Tsunade’s arms. It wasn’t like most shinobi would come back with a baby after their mission.

“The mission I was on, her village was destroyed, and I heard her crying. Her parents must have hidden her so that she would stay safe.” He nodded understanding the situation.

“I see, it can’t be helped. Make sure to hand her over to the hospital, they’ll take care of her.”

At the time Tsunade was more than ready to hand over the little bundle. She would be much safer but considering most would then be left to defend for themselves once they got older something just didn’t sit right. Especially when she opened her big green eyes giving out a big smile, as if she hadn’t lost her entire family and felt safe in her arms.

The baby’s small hands reached out gurgling away.

“What if… I took her in?” This seemed to surprise the man, he was her old sensei, so he knew her well enough.

“Are you sure? You know looking after a baby is hard work.” Much more difficult than A-rank missions you could say.

“I found her, it’s only fair that I take this responsibility.”

“Tsunade, she isn’t just a ‘mission.’ If you decide to keep her, that’s it.” She looked down at the baby in her arms who stared back unaware of the situation.

“I understand.”

~~~

“Waah, look she’s walking!! Our baby is walking!” Dan exclaimed excited as Sakura took her first steps toward him, smiling away. Hearing that Tsunade froze, remembering the conversation she had with him after she first found her.

“What are you talking about? We’re in a relationship, of course she’s my responsibility as much as yours.”

“I know that but… it’s not like I talked about this with you. So… if you want to leave-” Dan didn’t even let her finish

“I would never and besides.” He then cradled the little baby in his arms.

“Look how cute she is.”

She knew he was trying to make light of the situation, but it seemed just like her he quickly got attached and took her in as his own. Tsunade wouldn’t have it any other way.

“Tsunade, you need to hurry up if you don’t want to miss her walking.”

“I’m coming.”

~~~

“Why the name Sakura?” Her teammates asked. Tsunade showed the cherry blossom pendant she found on her. “It only seemed suitable; don’t you think?”

When she gets older Sakura wants to heal like her mother does

~~~

When Dan came into the room, he saw Sakura putting her hands together over one of her plushies. The act confused him until her heard her mumbling to the plushie to ‘stay alive.’

She must be mimicking Tsunade with her healing abilities. Of course, Sakura was fascinated by it and wanted to be exactly like ‘Mama’ when she got older. Hearing him walk in, Sakura ran over to him beaming away.

“Papa, did you see that? I healed Mr. Octopus!!” Sakura proudly declared. “You did,” he smiled ruffling her hair going along with her make believe.

“Do you think I’ll be able to heal like Mama when I get older?” Dan froze at hearing those words unsure how to respond. It was common for kids to take after their parents but seeing as Sakura wasn’t aware that Tsunade wasn’t her real mother he didn’t want to get her hopes up on being a healer when they knew nothing of her background. They weren’t even sure if she would enter the academy as some of the elders didn’t see the point.

“Who knows? Being a medical ninja is hard work.”

“I can work hard!”

“Even so, I don’t want you to feel like you ‘have’ to be one because your mother is. You understand right? Children should create their own path.”

“Oh?” She probably didn’t understand most of it, but it’ll do. Besides it wasn’t a lie, Dan didn’t want Sakura to pursue being a medic ninja because she was Tsunade’s daughter. Even if they were related. It would be too much pressure.

“Okay, Papa I think I understand. Besides we still have Mama to heal us, don’t we?”

“We do.”

Lately Orochimaru was losing his touch. The villagers used to find him intimidating whereas now they would greet him every morning and even approach him asking about his day.

He couldn't understand why.

“Uncle Orchimeru,” Sakura called running over to him excitedly. He stopped used to her antics and knowing she wouldn't leave him alone until she was done talking or whatever it was she was here for.

“Look what I drew!” Sakura proudly showed him the paper in her hands as he kneeled to take a look.

“We were told to draw our family. Look, this is Mama and Papa.” Sakura said pointing to Tsunade and Dan. “Uncle Jiraiya, you and Nawaki.”

“And Grandpa Hashima, Grandma Mito and Uncle Grandpa Tobi and old man Hiruzen.” She still mispronounced certain names but was getting better.

“Ah, well done.” Orochimaru patted her head making Sakura grin. She happily took his hold of his hand talking away as Mama had told her it was safer and so she wouldn't get lost.

It wasn't until he could hear the whispering from the villagers did it occur to him.

Oh so this was why... yeah maybe he was getting soft.

“Shouldn't you be with your mother?”

“No Uncle Jiraiya picked me up.” Ah in that case it was best to bring her back asap so Tsunade wouldn't kill him.

“Let's get something to eat then,” that could wait.

Takes place in the future where Sasuke and Sakura start getting closer.

~~~

“Thanks for walking me home Sasuke-Kun, you didn’t have to.” A light blush covered her cheeks. Even though they had been spending a lot of time together, moments like these made her feel special.

“Ah, it’s fine.” It felt natural and besides he was part of Konoha’s Military Police Force. If that could be used as an excuse to walk her home every day.

Probably not.

“I’m sure there are civilians that actually need your help.” She giggled teasingly; she was about to get out her keys before Sasuke's hand grabbed hold of her wrist halting her.

“Sakura...” Now was just as good as time as any right? They were alone and the tension was unbearable.

She looked up at him expectedly and closed her eyes waiting. Acting in the moment, Sasuke slowly leaned down closing his own eyelids.

“Ahem!”

Until a cough startled them and they looked to see Tobirama who had opened the door with Hashirama behind.

“Ah, I didn’t expect you two today…” Sakura collected herself completely flustered at what almost transpired.

“We thought we’d pop by.” Hashirama broke the awkward tension as Tobirama shot glares at Sasuke.

“I should get going…” Sakura was about to protest until his lips pressed softly on her forehead. “See you tomorrow?” He said with a smirk, although it was mostly aimed a Tobirama as if to say ‘I’m not backing down so easily’ before he left.

“Why that little-”

“Was that really necessary?” Sakura huffed crossing her arms and shutting the door.

“Have you forgotten HE'S the one that broke your heart?”

“Yes, when I was TEN! We’ve been teammates for years now, we risk our lives for one another. And if I want to pursue something serious with him-”

“Are you two dating?”

“Uh no?”

“He kissed you.”

“I... he... I didn't expect that.” She was just as caught off guard as they were.

“Yeah, he obviously did that to rile you up.” Hashirama laughed. “And whose side are you on?”

“Uh, no ones? Look I know he broke our little Princess's heart in the past but he's matured now. They both have, I don't see the problem.”

“Thank you,” Sakura turned back to Tobirama.

“And I don't need your permission. I can go out with whoever I want.” And with that, she stormed upstairs to her room, not that she should considering this was HER house!

“Just wait till your father hears about this.”

“Actually Dan doesn’t have a problem with Sas- I’ll be quiet now.” Tsunade on the other hand would be a different story.

[sakura-senju-au]

“I believe this is yours.” Madara held out little Sakura who only grinned clapping her hands and reaching out to Hashirama. “I told Tsunade to keep a closer eye on her.” For someone who could only crawl she certainly got about.

“And keep her away from Sasuke, I don't want her to be a bad influence on him.”

“...”

“She's a baby, what bad influence could she have on him?” All the while poor little Sasuke was crawling about in his home trying to find his new friend Itachi saved.

She was crawling about by herself outside so he thought he'd take her in so Sasuke could entertain her until he figured out a way to get hold of Hashirama. He didn't expect Madara to visit and take her away and now poor Sasuke was pouting looking for his new friend.

She had found her in a village in the middle of a mission, there was no one left so Tsunade took the little one with her. She had never imagined herself having kids but life had it's way of throwing surprises. A series of drabbles, snippets and one-shots of Tsunade and Dan being Sakura's parents.

Hearing the word ‘Mama’ was strange for Tsunade.

~~~

“Mama!” Sakura giggled waving her hands about as Tsunade fed her. Since she started speaking her favourite word to say was ‘mama’ which she regretted immediately. Naturally, it was an easy word for her at first, but Tsunade was hoping to teach her to say aunty or sister even.

Figuring it be easier down the line to explain that they weren't related.

“No not mama, aunty. Can you say, aunty?”

“Mama!”

“Aunty, aunty. I’m not your mother.”

“No mama?” Sakura’s eyes brimmed with tears, she didn’t understand.

“…”

“Fine, you can call me mama.”

“Mama!” She smirked patting her head.

“I guess that means I’ll have to start calling you my daughter now too.”

~~~

“So… I’m her mother now.”

It wasn’t part of the plan, but neither was having Sakura. She would just have to explain sometime in the future.

Besides, she’ll most likely begin asking questions at a certain age. Considering neither looked alike and villagers will start talking.

“Does this mean she’s, our great-grandchild?” Hashirama asked excitedly. “That’s what you got from this?” Whatever happens in the future, Tsunade will do her best to support her.
