Disclaimer: Haven’t said this for a while but I do not own InuYasha or Naruto.

AN: Yeah I’m redoing this story. Looking back on it I can’t really stand reading it. I liked the idea just not how it came out so I’m making an attempt to rewrite this story. So please let me know if I should continue or not.

The Forgotten Uchiha,

Chapter One

Sakura Haruno was on a mission and nothing short of the end of the world was going to stop her. Taking a quick look to make sure that the coast was clear, the young, pink haired shinobi hastily snuck into a restricted room on the top floor of the hospital. The room was pitch black and it took a while for her eyes to adjust to the darkness but when they finally did her eyes immediately landed onto the target she had been seeking, the single, sleeping occupant of the hospital room.

The girl was about six years her senior with long black hair and if she had been conscious Sakura was sure she would have seen a pair of familiar onyx eyes. She wore a plain, white hospital gown and was half-covered by the pale-blue bed sheets that were a common site here in the hospital. Though everything around her was trite she was anything but. Even in her sleep Sakura could sense the girl’s power.

The girl was little known Uchiha Kagome, Itachi’s older sister by five minutes and renounced heiress of the infamous Uchiha family. Many had forgotten about her and it had been by pure accident that Sakura had discovered her exsistence.

It had been four months, three weeks, and five days since Sasuke had left to join Orochimaru and in an attempt to find any clues as to where he might be, she had snuck into the main Uchiha compound. To be blunt it was downright creepy being in the massive house, especially all by herself, she should have dragged Naruto with her. But it was worth it after what she had found.

At first glance it was a simple family portrait of the head of the Uchiha clan and his family, Sasuke and Itachi automatically sticking out and it was only on closer inspection that she caught site of the fifth person. She looked exactly like Itachi only with a more feminine look. It wasn’t until after she had done a little more digging in Tsunade’s office that she found some answers.

Kagome had never attended the academy but she did go to a private civilian school for almost a year and then she just disappeared from any and all records after there was an attempt to kidnap her. According to a few of the documents she had found written by the fourth, Kagome had left the village to train with an unidentified ninja.

It wasn’t until one day after returning home on one of her visits that she was found on the outskirts of Konoha out cold. The next day the Uchiha family was slain by Itachi.

Little else was known about the mysterious Uchiha who was even more of an enigma than her nefarious brothers.

Sakura was here because she felt Kagome had the right to know as to what her brothers were doing and hopefully, hopefully she may wake up and Sasuke would come back. It was a long shot, she knew it but she was determined and giving up was not something she was about to do.

Flipping on a nearby lamp, Sakura pulled an old chair next to the sleeping Uchiha. After a moment of awkwardness she finally began the tale starting with the Uchiha massacre.

Reciting the whole painful story of the downfall of the Uchiha family had taken Sakura all morning and it was nearing lunch time when she finally stepped out into the busy streets of Konoha.

Kakashi-sensei had given them a break today and let them take the day off. She hadn’t seen Naruto all that morning; no doubt he was sleeping in, and she idly wondered if he was up now. It was noon and he was probably eating his daily ramen by now.

Sakura had grown to really see and truly appreciate Naruto though he was a bit dense at times he really was a good teammate and friend and she didn’t know what she would’ve done without him. She felt guilty over her earlier attitude towards her blond teammate and she vowed to make it up to him.

He was indeed at the ramen shop, wolfing down ramen like he always did. She couldn’t help but brunching up her nose in disgust at his eating habits. He really needed to learn a few table manners.

“Naruto you’re in public.” She scolded as she took a seat next to him.

Slurping the last of his ramen he managed to let out a discomfited chuckle.

Waving away the ramen girl Sakura turned her attention to Naruto. He was perhaps the closest person Sasuke had gotten close to since his family’s unfortunate demise and wanted to know if he knew about Kagome but Sasuke was still a touchy subject for the both of them. They never really did talk about him.

“So what are you up to, today Sakura-chan. I thought you’d be at the hospital all day.”

Raising an eyebrow, Sakura answered with a question of her own. “Nothing much. What made you thing I was going to be at the hospital today?”

“Oh, well I saw Lee earlier and he said he saw you there this morning while he was doing his laps and you did say you were interested in becoming a medic nin the other day.”

Nodding her head, she suddenly asked, “Hey c’mon Naruto let’s take a walk. We never really get a chance to just hang out.”

“Alright.” He instantly agreed getting up from his spot but not before leaving some money next to his empty ramen bowl. He may have been a little dense at times but he could tell that there was more to this “walk” and he was eager to find out what exactly was on Sakura’s mind.

It wasn’t until they were around one of the secluded training areas that Sakura even considered telling Naruto what she had found out. She didn’t know how to approach the subject of Sasuke. Last time someone had even mentioned his name, Kiba ended up with a black eye for calling him a traitor within earshot of Naruto.

“So, what’s on your mind Saukra?” Naruto finally broke the silence that had settled over them since they had started their walk. A far off look entered his blue eyes as he added, “It’s about Sasuke isn’t it?”

Sakura nodded her head, not quite able to respond with words yet.

Letting out a heavy sigh, Naruto found a nearby tree to lean against as he patiently waited for Sakura to continue.

“It is. Did you know that he had an older sister?”

“Wai, what?’ Whatever Naruto had been expecting it was not that.

“Her name’s Kagome and she’s Itachi’s twin but get this, she’s still alive.”

Eyes wide in surprise, he began to bombard Sakura with question. “What? Where did she come from? Why did we never know about her? Where is she?”

“I’d think you’d know where babies come from by now Naruto. I’m sure Jiraiya would be more than happy to inform you about the facts of Life Naruto.”

The answer came from Kakashi who, after looking up, was lounging on a tree branch just above them reading Make Out Paradise.

“Wha, where? How? Like hell I’d let that pervert teach me anything about the facts of life.” Naruto exclaimed, looking out of breath as he finished.

“Kakashi-sensei! How, how long have you been up there?” Sakura stuttered out, shock evident on her face.

Jumping down from his spot, he landed right in front of his two remaining genin, pocketing his book in the process. Uchiha Kagome was not someone who was spoken of often and there were many in the village had completely forgotten of her existence. How they would have forgotten here he wouldn’t know. Kagome was not a person someone forgot easily.

Though that didn’t matter at the moment. He really was curious as to how Sakura discovered her existence. He knew for a fact that she hadn’t learned of Kagome from Sasuke.

“What exactly have you been up to Sakura while we’re not on a mission or training?” He impassively stared down the pink haired nin. He smiled under his mask as she lowered her head guiltily and confessed.

“I was sneaking around in the Uchiha district and found a photo of her. Then I kinda snuck into Tsuande’s office and found out more about her.”

“Impressive. Now what exactly have you learned about Kagome?”

“Not much really. Just that she left the village not long after she started school, civilian school.”

“Did you know her Kakashi-sensei?” Naruto asked.

“I wouldn’t say anybody in Konoha really knew her but I did meet her a handful of times.” He thoughtfully answered. Though the first part had been true he hadn’t necessarily told them the whole truth. Besides Itachi he had probably been Kagome’s only friend in Konoha. She had been the only one of the Uchiha’s willing to share information about the Sharigan.

“Why didn’t she go to the academy?”

“I don’t know. Nobody really knew what went through Fugaku’s mind. Could be he just wanted to marry her off. What I do know was that shortly after she and Itachi started their respective schools she left to train with foreign ninjas.”

“Can you tell us anything else Kakashi-sensei? Like maybe how strong she was? Was she anywhere near Itachi’s level?”

“Hard to say though many believed Itachi to be stronger I think they were more evenly matched.”

“So you don’t know for sure then?”

“Well they did fight one, probably right after Itachi became a chunnin. Itachi and Kagome were both very young and extremely talented. After witnessing that fight many wondered why Fugaku had dismissed Kagome as heiress to the Uchiha clan.”

“You saw the two of them fight? What was it like? Who won?” Naruto asked, eagerly waiting to hear more.

A far off look crept into Kakashi’s face as he looked off into the distance, remembering the terrible fight with brother against sister.

“I wouldn’t say any won though if you were to ask anybody else they’d say Itachi was the victor.”

“Why would you say no one had won?”

“Because Kagome had just been forced to fight Shisui before going up against Itachi and the first half of the fight she didn’t raise a hand against Itachi.”

“Wha..”

Kakashi cut him off before he could continue with his question. “That’s enough questions Naruto. Jiraiya wanted to meet with you and Tsuande you Sakura. In fact you’re ten minutes late so you better get going to the hokage tower.”

Pulling out his book again, the silver haired jounin appeared to be reading though in reality he was watching as his genin took off faster than he had ever seen them move before. He already knew why they were being called and he couldn’t help but feel a pang of regret. They were his first team and he had let them down.

It was late when Sakura and Naruto had finally gone their separate ways. They had a lot to think about it and they wanted some time to themselves to contemplate their decision. Each had been offered a chance to train under a legendary sannin. It was tempting but that would mean Naruto would be leaving the village for three years and she would be devoting all her time to Tsuande and the hospital.

On a whim she decided to swing by the hospital and visit Kagome again. Maybe being there would help her make up her mind.

Sakura had barely opened the door when she was suddenly slammed against the wall and she was looking into familiar black eyes.

Normally I don’t ask for reviews bur feedback would be welcomed. I want to know if I should go ahead and finish with the rewrite or just go back to the old one.
