Just a random Naruto RP I decided to make. No Char. Sheet, since the three of us are roommates and we know all the things about the others characters. but if either of them want to do one, I suppose I will too. But only if they make one.
 
Well, if that's the case, then I'll just do a little copy-paste from dA about Sano and his kids. Warning, though...It's gonna be long!

Background: Born three years before Sasuke, Uchiha Sanosuke had inherited the Sharingan in its entire awesomeness. However, it has four tomoe - AKA: four dots - and can't be shut off. It was active the moment he first opened his eyes after birth. At the age of nine, Sanosuke graduated from the Konohagakure Ninja Acadamy. He was placed with Kakashi Hatake until he could be re-assigned to another squad. Kakashi used the bells for the survival training with Sanosuke. After using the Sharingan to copy Kakashi's movements, Sanosuke unleashed a Jutsu he'd made while trying to learn Kagemene - Shadow Posession, the Kage Kiri. When Kakashi saw this, he understood that Sanosuke was willing to incapacitate him just to get the bell. When Sanosuke charged, he forced Kakashi to use Raikiri. The two Jutsu collided with each other, resulting in an enormous explosion. Once the smoke cleared, Kakashi found Sanosuke unconscious, but alive. The bell was in his hand, along with Kakashi's at-the-time new volume of 'Icha Icha Paradise'.

When Sanosuke awoke, he had a Jounin's vest lying next to him, with a note on top of it. "To the parents of Uchiha Sanosuke" it read. "Due to the immense potential that your son has, I, Hatake Kakashi, as well as the ANBU Black Ops and Lord Hokage, have decided to make Sanosuke a Jounin while skipping the usual Chuunin phase." As Sanosuke read on, the letter stated that he was to immediately be sent on a journey to Sunagakure and Kirigakure, the Sand and Mist Villages. This was to be considered an A-Rank mission for the boy, because it required him to not return to Konohagakure for seven full years, beginning at the time of his departure. "His siblings must not know that he is being given this mission. I, Hatake Kakashi, will send him out with enough provisions to get as far as the border of the Lands of Fire and Wind." The letter went on for at least ten more pages, but Sanosuke refused to read the rest. He laid down on the bed he was on, pulled up the covers, and tried to fall asleep. He was visited by Sandaime Sarutobi, the Third Hokage, not five minutes later. Upon seeing the expression on Sanosuke's face, Sandaime spoke. "I see you've read the letter. If you have any questions, Sanosuke, you go ahead and feel free to ask them." Sanosuke sat up and looked at the Hokage. They stared for about fifteen seconds, then Sanosuke threw his headband at Sandaime. "You're banishing me?!?" Sanosuke screamed at him. "Just because I beat Kakashi-Sensei, you're banishing me?!? What the hell is wrong with you, Jii-san?!?" The Sharingan glowed slightly, and Sanosuke's left eye flashed a pale white. "Calm down, Sanosuke. You didn't read the whole thing, did you? I'm not banishing you. I'm making you an elite member of our Village. You are now a Special Jounin of Konohagakure." Sandaime chuckled a bit and explained the letter. When he was finished, Sanosuke was in tears.

After a month of healing in the Hospital, Sanosuke packed his things and said his goodbye's. The last one he said farewell to was Haruno Sakura. The two had had a crush on eachother since they'd met. After a tearful parting, Sanosuke kissed her cheeck. "I'll give you one better than that in seven years, when I get back." Is all he said for his goodbye. When he stepped outside the gate ten minutes later, he felt a tug on his new Jounin vest. It was Sakura. She gave him a hand-carved wooden sword and a blue-and-pink bracelet. "So you remember me." That was her response when he asked what the items were for. He left, after a few words of advice from Kakashi and Sandaime. He traveled to Sunagakure first, finding more provisions and a job as a fighter-for-hire along the way. Once he reached the border, Sanosuke was greeted by none other than Lord Kazekage himself. Sanosuke spent three years in Sunagakure, learning the Jutsu, fighting styles, and swordsmanship basics. He even learned to activate his Byakugan, which he didn't know he'd had. He'd become good friends with Temari and Kankuro within months. As he packed his belongings for his trip to Kirigakure, Temari came into his room, tears in her eyes. "Why?" she asked. "Why are you leaving?" When Sanosuke told her about the letter from Kakashi to his parents, Temari understood. She'd developed a crush on him since he'd arrived three years earlier. When he left Sunagakure, Temari and Kankuro both gave him a gift. From Temari, Sanosuke received a fan identical to hers, but about two-thirds the size. Kankuro gave him a scroll saying, "Don't open this until you've met your dream of building your own Village. Once that happens, read this scroll." Along with the scroll, Kankuro gave Sanosuke a crash course on the Puppet Master Jutsu. Sanosuke then traveled to Kirigakure. He remained there for three years as well. In Kirigakure Sanosuke found a scroll waiting for him. Sandaime had sent a scroll telling what Itachi had done. "Though you have three years left of your mission, you may return to Konohagakure if you wish. Sanosuke, I beg you. If you do choose to go after Itachi like your younger brother Sasuke, use extreme caution. Only as a last resort are you to use the Jutsu listed below. I warn you now. If you use this Jutsu, make certain that you are prepared for death. This Jutsu costs the user his or her life." When Sanosuke saw the instructions for the Forbidden Jutsu, he laughed a little. He memorized the handsigns, copying them with his Sharingan. He then chose to stay the remainder of his mission, believing that Itachi and Sasuke thought him well beyond dead now. After his three years in Kirigakure, Sano packed up once more. When he left the Village, Lord Mizukage gave him a scroll. The scroll contained the locations of both Raijuu, the Six-Tailed Beast and Kuroryu, the Dark Flame Dragon. Once he'd left, Sanosuke decided to find both Raijuu and Kuroryu. He ran into Kuroryu first, about half-ways between Kirigakure and the Land of Fire. Using the Reaper Death Seal without hesitation, the Dragon was sealed inside of him. He then turned to the Reaper and proposed a deal. If the Reaper were to let him keep his soul, as well as the souls that the Reaper removed after Sanosuke used the Jutsu, and let Sanosuke live his life to its natural end, He'd let the Reaper have his soul and the souls of whoever died in the Village that he would one day build. Strangely, the Reaper agreed. However, it cost Sanosuke the use of his left hand. He was still able to use the arm. Sanosuke practiced for a month, making the handsigns with only one hand. Then he practiced for another two years to do them with his feet. Shortly after Sanosuke's 18th birthday, he found Raijuu and immediately performed the Reaper Death Seal once more. He'd lost his left arm in the fight with Raijuu, but Kuroryu gave Sanosuke his left arm for permanent use. Now, with both Kuroryu and Raijuu sealed inside of him, Sanosuke gained nearly infinite amounts of chakra and stamina.

On his way back to Konohagakure to watch the Chuunin Exams, Sanosuke ran into one of the Akatsuki, Hidan. Hidan had no partner at this time, which was lucky. Upon seeing he was outclassed, Sanosuke invited Hidan to join him in some sake, to which Hidan agreed. After they'd had some sake, Hidan explained that he was there for Raijuu. Sanosuke instantly knew that he was in danger, and calmly packed away his sake, as if nothing had been said. bluntly stating that he was in a hurry to get home, Sanosuke told Hidan about the Reaper and his agreement with it. Hidan politely stood down, sensing great honor in this young man. After politely thanking Hidan for the companionship, Sanosuke insisted that he "must be on my way. My younger brother is in this year's Chuunin Exams. I wish to see how he fares." After departing from Hidan, Sanosuke took a round-about way to get to Konohagakure. He found an ideal location for his own village, and he decided to proceed. Using his own Secret Jutsu, Hidden Shadows Jutsu, Sanosuke built a Village Hidden in the Shadows, naming it Shisaragakure, a name that he and Temari had come up with together. He then opened the scroll he'd received from Kankuro nearly seven years earlier. "Uchiha Sanosuke," it read. "If you are reading this scroll, then you've finally built yourself your dream. If the Chuunin Exams are going on at the time you read this, send a messenger hawk to Sunagakure. I will send a another skull." Sanosuke chuckled at the spelling error. "If your little brother is in the same Exams that you're reading this, wait until they're over. Those are the same ones that our Father wants us to attend. He's next in line for the title 'Kazekage' you know!" Again Sanosuke chuckled. He'd long ago recieved a message from Temari about their father becoming Kazekage. "In any case, Sanosuke, Temari would love to join your village, as long as your villagers keep ties with their old Villages. Anyway, good luck on your trip. Pals forever, Kankuro"

On the second page of the scroll, Sanosuke saw a drawing and laughed out loud. He nearly lost his lunch because he'd laughed so hard. Kankuro had drawn a picture of Sanosuke and Temari holding hands, with six kids running around them. One even looked like a blonde version of Gaara with Sanosuke's hairstyle and Temari's eyes. "P.S. If this happens, I'll be there to point at you and say 'I TOLD YA SO!!!!' Kankuro" Sanosuke left the scroll in his house and sealed the Village off from outsiders. He then traveled to Konohagakure, getting there after Shukaku had been defeated. He had arrived just in time for Sandaime's funeral. The funeral was held on Sanosuke's 17th birthday. Four years later, Shikamaru, Temari, and a few others had moved to Shisaragakure. When he'd had a big enough grouping, Sanosuke invited Sakura to come. He'd had a big surprise party planned for her 18th birthday. When the party was in full swing, Sanosuke asked for silence. Once the noise died down, he asked Sakura to marry him, to which her response was a nearly-invisible nod and a big hug and a passionate kiss. Nearly eleven years later, and Sanosuke and Sakura have three children. Ichigo, their firstborn, who is currently a twelve-year-old energetic boy with pink hair, Kagome, their second, a nine-year-old girl with black hair and the ambition to be Shisarakage like her father, and Kasumi, Kagome's twin sister, who has blue hair like her father, and the Sharingan was in her eyes when she was born, but hers is not a constant activation. Even now, Uchiha Sanosuke is proud of his accomplishments.

Rival: To this day, the only people that Uchiha Sanosuke considers his rivals are his younger borther, Sasuke, and the current Hokage, Uzumaki Naruto.

Taijutsu: Same as father

Ninjutsu: Various Fire and Wind Jutsu

Secret/Forbidden Jutsu: None

Kekkei Genkai/Jinchuuriki: Uchiha Ichigo has inherited the Sharingan. Has an "Inner" self like his mother. This "Inner Ichigo" is a wise, talented, and charmed individual, whereas Ichigo himself is accident-prone, shy, and easily distracted.

Background: Born shortly after Uzumaki Naruto became the Sixth Hokage of Konohagakure, Ichigo has the kana for "Fire" on the back of his neck as a birthmark. While an infant, Ichigo had contracted TB, aka: tuberculosis. Even Lady Tsunade was unable to heal him, and his parents feared for his life. After three weeks, the then-fiancee of the Sixth Hokage, Hyuuga Hinata, found a cure. After spending more than three days working on Ichiigo, Hinata managed to cure him. Four years later, Ichigo entered the Ninja Acadamy in the Village that his father had built, Shisaragakure, the Village Hidden in the Shadows. He failed the graduation exam the first year he was there. Halfway through the second year, his teacher, then-single Nara Shikamaru, decided to let him try again four months early. When he passed with flying colors, both Shikamaru and Ichigo's father, Uchiha Sanosuke, decided to allow him to be Genin. He was to remain in the acadamy until the graduation exams, though. Ichigo has learned various Fire and Earth Ninjutsu from his parents. His Taijutsu and Genjutsu are the same as his mother's. Shortly after Ichigo recieved his hitaite (headband), he was sent to Konohagakure on a D-rank mission. He was to find Akamichi Choji and get some chakra pills for his father. When Choji refused to give them to Ichigo, he began to outwardly cry. It was then that Choji saw Ichigo's "Inner". He gave the boy the chakra pills and bade him good luck. After returning to Shisaragakure, the Shadow Village, Ichigo met Sozen Izumi, a Sunagakure Genin the same age as him. The two were instant crushes. When Ichigo found out that Temari was Izumi's adoptive mother he decided to try to learn various Wind Style Ninjutsu to impress her. Since their meeting, Ichigo and Izumi have been nearly inseperable. The only times you'll find one without the other is during the night, most meal times, and when one uses the restroom. Even though Ichigo is the oldest of three, he acts like the middle child. Shortly after Ichigo turned nine, Konohagakure held the Chuunin Exams, and Ichigo participated, alongside Izumi, of course. The two were granted a special permit to take the Exams as a two-man squad, much to Morino Ibiki's disapproval. When Izumi wanted to walk out, Ichigo boosted her morale by kissing her cheek. When the two came to the finals in the third stage, they agreed that if they were the Final Two, they'd make the fight a draw. Izumi was defeated in the semi-finals, however, allowing Ichigo to go all out on his opponent, a Genin from Iwagakure, the Village Hidden in the Rocks. It was during that match that Ichigo's Sharingan first activated. Since then, he has improved the Sharingan to two tomoe (dots) in each eye.

Rival: To this day, Uchiha Ichigo considers his crush, Sozen Izumi, a Sunagakure girl that is Gaara's daughter, to be his love and his rival.

Name: Uchiha Kagome

Village: Shisaragakure

Gender: Female

Age: 9

Hair and Eye Color: Black hair, dark green eyes

Height and Weight: 4' 6" 97 lbs.

Current Rank: Genin

Family: Uchiha Sanosuke, Mother: Haruno Sakura, Elder brother: Uchiha Ichigo, Twin Sister: Uchiha Kasumi, Elder Uncle: Uchiha Itachi, Younger Uncle: Uchiha Sasuke

Markings: None

Taijutsu: Body Flicker

Genjutsu: Same as her father

Ninjutsu: Various Fire, Earth, and Lightning Jutsu

Secret/Forbidden Jutsu: None

Kekkei Genkai/Jinchuuriki: Kagome has inherited the Sharingan, but has not been in the proper situation to have it activate.

Background: Uchiha Kagome had a life eerily similar to her mother's until she was six. She graduated from the Shadow Village's Ninja Acadamy on the first try, with her scores at the top of the charts. She is a bit of a loner, like her uncle, Uchiha Sasuke. about six weeks after her seventh birthday, Kagome decided to spy on her long-time secret crush, Nara Shikamaru. Even though Shikamaru was about 21 at the time, Kagome spyed on him while he was bathing. She has peeped on him on many different occasions, and for different reasons. She's been caught once, by Temari. When Temari told Sanosuke what had happened, he looked at his daughter and scolded her for doing what she'd done, yet praised her for not getting caught until now, for which Sakura smacked him. Kagome's punishment was one week of being grounded, with no friends over, and an early bedtime throughout the week. While she was grounded, Kagome snuck a few of her father's copies of "Icha Icha Paradise" into her room to read, adding to her perverted nature. She has not been caught peeping again, but has done something a little more.....interesting. While in the showers after Taijutsu classes, Kagome has begun to fantasize about the other girls. Once, when it was just herself and Sozen Izumi, her brother's crush, she did something that has gotten her grounded for the rest of the year. She'd managed to smuggle a volume of "Icha Icha Paradise" into the school, and asked Izumi to do some of the things in the book with her. Izumi declined at first, but when she heard that Ichigo had been grounded for breaking a window, she reluctantly agreed. As the two girls got more and more involved with eachother, Izumi and Kagome decided to do it more often. One week later, before either girls' parents found out, they were making out in the locker room when the bell rang. As the Sixth Hokage's wife, Hyuuga Hinata, was nearby, she checked the locker room for any stragglers. When Hinata saw Izumi and Kagome making love to eachother, she nearly screamed. Both Kagome and Izumi are now grounded until their next birthday, which happens to be the same day, exactly six months away.

Rival: Uchiha Kagome has many who call her their rival, but she considers none but Sozen Izumi worthy enough to be her rival.

-----

Name: Uchiha Kasumi

Village: Shisaragakure

Gender: Female

Age: 9

Hair and Eye Color: Deep ocean blue hair, eyes listed under Kekkei Genkai

Height and Weight: 3' 9" 67 lbs.

Current Rank: Genin

Family: Father: Uchiha Sanosuke, Mother: Haruno Sakura, Elder brother: Uchiha Ichigo, Twin Sister: Uchiha Kagome, Elder Uncle: Uchiha Itachi, Younger Uncle: Uchiha Sasuke

Markings: Sharingan-pattern birthmark on her upper-left thigh, visible only if she's not wearing pants, or if she is wearing a short skirt, swimsuit, or naked. Also has a lightning bolt-shaped mark on her upper-right arm from a wolf bite. More in background.

Taijutsu: Same as her father, also uses Hiten Zansho Ryu, but uses a solitary Kodachi

Genjutsu: Same as her father

Ninjutsu: Most Fire and various Wind Jutsu, Chidori

Secret/Forbidden Jutsu: Secret Jutsu: Fist of the Mortal Flame, Secret Jutsu: Blazing Sword of the Overlord, both were taught by her father.

Kekkei Genkai/Jinchuuriki: Kasumi's eyes have the Sharingan in it's fullest. Like her father's right eye, they can't be deactivated. They both have three tomoe, aka: three dots.

Background: Born as Kagome's younger twin sister, Kasumi is quite small for her age, and a bit more delicate. She was born with a black dragon's tail and retractable wings. Her father half-jokingly called her a "Dragon-Half" when he saw the wings and tail. As both Sakura and Sanosuke knew where the extras had come from, they felt it necessary to hold her back from entering the Acadamy until she'd learned to keep her wings retracted until needed. Thus, she entered the year that Kagome graduated. She was an instant object of interest, because of her tail. However, she felt no need to be shy, and gladly showed off her wings. When she graduated a year later, at age seven, Kasumi decided to give the Acadamy a show, and flew around in the sky, showering everyone with candy. When she landed, Kasumi and Kagome got into a fight over who'd been the best in the Acadamy, and even though they'd had the same scores, everyone of the students, except a select few, thought Kasumi was better, because she was "part dragon". Kagome insulted Kasumi by calling her a "snake-tailed hussie" in front of the entire school. When Kasumi ran home to her father, she jumped into his arms and began to cry. When she'd explained what had happened, Sanosuke told Kasumi that her sister was "just jealous that she doesn't have the wings that make you so popular". As a treat to lift her spirits, Kasumi's father decided to tech hear the Secret Jutsu that he'd developed after sealing the Demon Flame dragon, Kuroryu no Akuma Katon's soul into his own body. He also taught her the Chidori and how to use the Great Fireball Jutsu without handsigns. Kasumi learned them faster, since her Sharingan was in constant activation. Since her fifth birthday, Kasumi has not wanted to leave her father's side for too long, and is comfortable with being naked around him. In fact, since she turned five, she's let only her father give her baths. Kasumi is also very much openly bi-sexual. she likes looking at her naked classmates during the showers after Taijutsu classes as much as she likes spying on the boys after their Taijutsu classes. Since her eighth birthday, she's begun clinging to her best friend, Takeda Mizuno, more than her father. the two girls have both told their parents that they're in love and want to bring their teammate, Amatarashi Kyoshiro, into the picture as a love-triangle with no holes. Kasumi has actually asked him to come with herself and Mizuno into the girl's locker room after school gets out so they can all "do stuff with eachother while we're all naked". He has yet to give a verbal response.

Rival: Considers Kagome her only rival.

Ninjutsu: Knows a variety of all types of Justu, including those usually exclusive to Kekkei Genkai. Will explain in the Kekkei Genkai/Jinchuuriki section.

Secret/Forbidden Jutsu: WAAAAAAAAAY to many to list

Kekkei Genkai/Jichuuriki: Byuakugan from Hyuga Clan Blood; Sharingan from Uchiha Clan Blood from his mother that only he inherited. Can switch between the two at will (though when switching, his eyes become black temporarily) and has ability to reach Mangekyou level in both, but requires LOTS of concentration and chakra. Junchuuriki: Houkou - Five-Tailed Wolf. Each tail represents one of the five elements used for justsu's and gives complete control of them to the host. (Note: this is how he can use any type of jutsu, including those that are normally Kekkei Genkai)

Background: Born four years before Neji, Hyuga Kowaru had inherited a powerful Byakugan that had not been seen in the Clan for several generations: it could see all the chakra points, and it could see a persons unique chakra color. He entered the Ninja Academy alongside Uchiha Itachi, who was two years older than him, and graduated at the same time as him (after only one year, thus making Kowaru 5). They, much to their displeasure (since the two developed a rivalry), were placed on the same three man squad, as well as a girl learning to be a medic-nin named Misa. They all passed the Chunin Exams their first time through, and all had joined the top ranks of ANBU, though between the Uchiha and the Hyuga, they chose to make Itachi the Captain, though Kowaru was placed in the rank below him. After a few months, the three were sent on a mission to the Land of Snow, where Misa was killed by the leader of the rouge ninja team they were assigned to subdue. Several weeks later, the incident between the Hyuga Family and the Land of Lightning happened, and Kowaru lost his father.

Two years later, when the Uchiha Massacre took place, Itachi came after Kowaru and Neji's mother, an Uchiha who married into the Hyuga Clan. Kowaru had faught his former comrade to protect his mother. It was during this fight that Kowaru had first shifted between his two heritage's, the Byakugan and the Sharingan. Itachi, who was surprised at how well Kowaru was keeping up with him and copying his jutsu, left without killing the younger ninja's mother. Several days later, after the initial shock of what Itachi had done wore off, Kowaru went to the Sandaime and told him "I'm going into self exile. Please tell my family you sent me on a mission, and in a weeks time, tell them that I was killed. But inform my brother of what I am doing so he will not think that he lost another member of his family. He may also tell one other person if he so wishes, as long it is Lady Hinata or someone that is not of the Clan." Neji had told both Hinata and Tenten, who'd had a crush on Kowaru since the first time they met.

After leaving Konoha, he headed to the Land of Lightning to train and learn some lightning jutsus so he could have some variety of jutsu's for when he decided to return. While training in some random mountain range, he came across the Gobi (Five-Tails). The beast, who was one of the few that would be considered 'good' by most villages, knew that it was in danger from Akatsuki and asked Kowaru to become its host, and it in turn would help him in his goal of beating his rival for when they would next meet. Several days later, when Kowaru was training in the same mountains that he and Houkou had become one, a beautiful woman wearing a black cloak with red clouds decorated on it appeared. When he asked what she was doing "in a place like this" she had told him that she was looking for a certain dog that she was sent to get. Kowaru, knowing what she was talking about, told her he had been training there for several days and hadn't seen any kind of animal and asked her to sit and drink with him for a while. She said she didn't have the time, but might if they were to meet again. Before she left, he asked her what her name was and she answered "Konan." and she turned herself into paper butterflies and flew onto the next area. He left the Land of Lighting several hours later.

He arrived in the Land of Waves next, where he had helped build a bridge that would connect the island Land to the main land, though he left after a rouge ninja that was also one of the Seven Swordsmen of the Land of Waves attacked the bridge, since he didn't want anyone that might of heard of him to know that he was still alive.

He then headed to the Wind land, where he met up with the Sand Siblings temperarily before they left to go to Konoha for the Chunin Exams. It was here he also saw someone who looked kind of like Sasuke, the only person Itachi had spared during the Massacre, but he thought it was only a mirage.

After learning several justu's from the hermits that resided near Sunagakure, including several lessons in the Puppet Master Jutsu's, he headed north, into the Land of Earth. After several weeks there, he went to the Land in which the Rain Village resides, and had met up with Konan. They shared a few drinks like she promised, and he had been invited to join Atatsuki by her, but he declined, but still received one of the cloaks they wore from her, and at his questioning look she replied "All the greatest ninja should have one. And I don't consider many great ninja." He gladly accepted it (and still has it to this day) and left to head to the Land containing the Grass Village. There he learned that the Third had died and Lady Tsunade of the Sannin was the Godaime Hokage. When he went to the Land of Sound, he saw Sasuke join Orochimaru as his new ally.

He left there without any kind of training an arrived in a land between the Land of Sound and Waterfall Villages land. Here he found the perfect spot for a new Village. Surprisingly, it was directly north of Konohagakure, so he decided to head back home to get some people to help him build it. When he returned to Konoha, Neji, as well as the other two members of Team Guy had greeted him and agreed to help him with his village. Tenten, whom Kowaru had a crush on, had said yes when he asked her out.

Soon after his Village was finished, he said he wanted to make an announcement in front of everyone who had helped. It was here he had asked Tenten to marry him, to which she only replied with a slight nod that few had seen. Now, nearly fifteen years later, the two had six children; Neji and Hita, their first born twins, are twelve; Reisha, Shinji and Naru, their second set, are eight, almost nine; and their youngest, Sora, is only four but already in the ninja academy, entered at the same age that her father had entered.

Rival: To this day, Kowaru, who has had made many enemies, only considers Sasuke, the person who killed his original rival, his rival. He also considers his wife, Tenten, and his youngest child, Sora, to be rivals, but in a different way than Sasuke. He also considers Sasuke's only remaining brother, Sanosuke, his rival, but in a way completely different way than the other's he considers rivals.

Loves spending time with her close friend, who she calls "Pinky" due to his abnormal color of hair, while he calls her "Brain", since she is considered a genius in tourturing her brother.

Rival: She considers her twin her rival. She also considers her best friend a rival, though its mainly due to her having a crush on him, even if she doesn't know its a crush yet.


---

Name: Hyuga Reisha "Rei"

Village: Same as siblings

Gender: Female

Age: 8

Hair/Eye: Hair is exactly like mothers, including the way she has it up; both eyes are like her moms, though a little lighter due to the Byakugan being in her blood

Current Rank: Gennin

Family: Hyuga Kaien and Hiinata - older twin siblings; Hyuga Naruto and Shinji - Triplet Brothers; Hyuga Sora - Youngest sister; Hyuga Neji - Uncle

Markings: None. She hasn't been seen using the Byakugan, possibly due to not having it, so she doesn't require the Branch Family Curse Mark

Taijutsu: She's almost as proficent in weilding weapons as her mom, and when shes on missions, carries a huge scroll with her, which stores her weapons, due to having a wide variety of them.

Genjutsu: Genjutsu Cancel

Kekkei Genkai/Jinchuuriki: Possibly has Byakugan, though hasn't been seen using it by anyone

Background: One of three, oldest of the Hyuga Triplets, as their classmates from the Academy called them, and the only female of the three. She and her two brothers make up a team, due to their wide range of skills. They're all still Gennin, so the missions they go one aren't all that fun (in any of their POVs) though they did come face to face with Konan a couple of times, though after the last encounter, the group and the oragami master have stopped fighting (she recognized who their father was). Her Godmother, Ino, and her are close in personality, possibly due to the two being around each other a lot in their free time. She helps out at the Yamanaka Flower Shop every now and then, when she's got nothing better to do.

Rival: None. She wants to consider her two closest friends, who are twins, her rivals, but they get along way too well to do that.

Name: Hyuga Naruto "Naru"

Village: same as the rest of the family

Gender: Male

Age: 8

Hair/Eye Color: hair is blonde, due to his oldest sister mistaking him for his oldest brother while the two were sleeping. He plans on keeping it that color for some reason...; eyes are same as oldest sisters.

Kekkei Genkai/Jinchuuriki: Byakugan in right eye, though not compensated with additional strength to it like his oldest sibling.

Background: Middle of the Triplets. He and his younger brother tend to fight side-by-side (since their Byakugan are in opposite eyes and their blind spots for the Byakugan is the side they don't have it in, though fighting like this eliminates any blind spot). They tend to act more like twins, completing each others sentence, though they get annoyed at each other for doing so. Naru recieved the markings on his face from their first encounter with Konan, who gave him deep paper cuts in the exact location of Naruto's Jinchuuriki markings.

Ninjutsu: Most Earth style techniques, including several of his own design; some Fire and Water style

Secret/Forbidden Jutsu:

Kekkei Genkai:

Background: To this day, much of Rinji's background remains a mystery due to the cicumstances of his upbringing, as well as the reason why he is no longer associated with Iwagakure. Born with an inane attunement to the elements of Earth, Rinji was snapped up at an early age by a covert division of Iwagakure's shinobi and trained to be their secret weapon. His talents were developed so that he is able to manipulate stone and earth much in the same way Gaara manipulates sand: at an inconscious level. Unlike the sand ninja however, Rinji became a much more proactive member of Iwagakure, working secret under direct orders from the Tsuchikage and their black ops. He eventually became so in tuned with the forces of the Earth that he could use it as a sort of extrassensory ability, picking up the vibrations of movement along the surface by means of the dirt and stones beneath. He could even sense adversaries within the trees. So long as his target was not in the air, he could 'see' it through the earth.

Eventually however, a disaster stuck. It is unknown to anyone but Rinji as the rest of his squad was wiped out, but somehow during a recon mission his team was found out and attacks. One of the enemy shinobi was an expert in summoning, and unleashed hordes of summoned animals upon Rinji's team. Rinji himself was attacked by a large cat, perhaps a lion or tiger. While his wounds were superficial enough that they didn't impede his ability to take action, he did however receive large cuts to his face that took his eyesight.

He was eventually captured for interrogation. After several grueling hours, it seemed he snapped and destroyed the entire facility, forging a warpath back to the secret base he had called home since childhood. Blaming them for everything that had befell him, he destroyed the structure and buried it, effectively hiding most of the details of his life.
 
Kowaru was back in Konoha, along with his family, for the annual Festival of Roses, which would be taking place in a week. He had already visited the Hokage, and had already seen most of his family at the Clan's home. Now, he was one his way to Ichiraku Ramen to meet up with his wife and kids. About a block away, he noticed that he was being followed. He suddenly dissappeared, reappearing in front of the guy who was following him.

"Huh? Oh hey Sano. You were the one following me?" Kowaru asked his Uchiha friend as he put away the kunai knife he had up against Sano's neck.
 
Sano smiled at seeing his friend.

"Well, if by 'follow' you mean 'heading to Ichiraku', then yeah." the Uchiha said, his midnight-blue hair swaying softly in the soft breeze that was an after-effect of Kowaru's speed. "By the way, I hear you came for the Festival this year. Anyone tag you yet?"

Sano held up his right arm and the tag with Sakura's name was emblazoned on it.

-----

Meanwhile, back at the plot (lol, had to say it^^), a pink-haired teen smiled at the girl sitting across the aisle from him and his family. His mother, whose hair color he'd inherited, caught him.


"Ichigo, it's rude to stare."

"S-sorry, Mom." Ichigo said, snapping his eyes off of the girl and back to his ramen. "But, I can't help it. Hita-Chan's really cute! I hope she tags me."

"Oni-Chan!! D-don't say things like that!!" the girl sitting next to him said, blushing madly. "Wh-what if I w-wanted to go with you, or if Ne-Chan wanted to?"

The other girl, with raven hair, merely continued eating her miso ramen. She had never shown much emotion, and even at her twin sister's numerous failed attempts to catch her brother's eye, Uchiha Kagome made no visible sign that she was affected.

"If Ichi-Ni wants Hiinata-San to tag him for the Festival, why should you care, Kasumi?"

"That's enough, girls. Your father and Godfather will be here soon, so just hold your horses. Besides, didn't you want to tag Shinji this year, Kasumi? You've had your eye set on him for the past four months."

Overhearing the talk about the Festival and the tagging, a man with blood red, spiky hair sighed contently, turning his eyes to the woman next to him, her hair let down from her usual quad-ponytail.

"Temari, are you sure this is a good idea? I mean, that whole 'tagging' thing is what got me stuck with Naruto's sister-in-law."

Temari merely turned pink as she spotted her husband trying to explain the tagging to his godchild.

"I think it'll be fun, Gaara. You had been asking me to find you something fun to do."
 
"Your father is running late again." a woman with her hair up in buns said to a girl whose hair style was exactly like hers. "If he doesn't get here soon, I'll tag Konkuro. And I don't really like him, ever since he made that life-size puppet of me. I don't wanna even think about what he does with it in his spare time."

The girl, who had not really been listening in the first place, looked at her mother with a look of boredom."Whatever mom. I still don't get this whole 'tagging' thing, though."Hyuga Reisha said, hoping to get her mother off of the subject of the puppet master and his 'play things'.

"Me neither sis." said a dark haired boy who was two people down from her. "And Uncle Shikamaru didn't really get into details about it either." With this comment, both his mother and his godfather sighed and started explaining it...again

Meanwhile, the blonde haired boy in between them just held up his bowl, signifying he wanted another bowl of miso ramen. He then noticed his father and a guy with hair similar to his youngest sister enter the ramen shop. "Hey dad." Naru said, not running his mouth off as he would normally be doing, though this was mainly due to him being at a ramen shop and he was in the middle of eating.

"Huh? Oh, hey Naru. Any girl tag you yet?" Kowaru asked his middle son, knowing his son was hoping one of his friends daughters would tag him.

"Not yet, for any of the boys. And the girls haven't decided who to tag yet either. By the way, that reminds me..." Tenten walked up to her husband and smacked him across the face, Not only did his cheek turn red, but her name appeared in the spot as well."Tag. Your mine."

"Well, at least you didn't put it in the same spot as last year." Kowaru commented, rubbing his cheek. "That would've hurt, and I like breathing."

"Be lucky were in public, or else I would've put it in the same spot as the year the festival first started." Tenten said with a wink, sending both their minds back to the night they conceived the twins, thus causing them to both blush madly."Hey, Sakura-Chan, Sano-san, you two wanna..." she stopped asking her question when she noticed the evil glares from both who knew what she was gonna ask from the way her mind worked and the way she was blushing."Uh...never mind."
 
"DADDY!" Kasumi said, hugging her father.

Sano smiled at his daughter, then heard Tenten's words, smirking slightly. He knew Sakura would be a bit more than upset if he agreed, so he faked an evil glare. Kagome, however, hopped down from her chair and walked over to the Hyuga's table, her tag hidden in the palm of her hand. She looked at the blonde 'mini-clone' of the Hokage and stood next to him.


"Naru-Kun, you got something on your cheek. I'll get it off."

She placed her palm on his cheek as she used her thumb to scrape some rogue noodles from his skin, and also placing her tag on his cheek. As she pulled her hand away, Kagome's twin couldn't help but cover her mouth to try to hide her laugh. Ichigo, on the other hand, kept a perfectly straight face as he spoke.

"You know, I think that my sister's 'cleaning' did a bit more than you might bargain for, Naru."

"Ichi-Ni, shouldn't you be trying to convince Hita-Chan to tag you? Everyone knows you two like each other." Kagome said, making her brother blush and her sister laugh out loud.

Shikamaru sighed.


"What a drag. I was hoping to not be involved this year. I don't do well with this thing."

Sakura leaned over to her daughter and whispered into her ear.

"Nice and subtle. Way to get him, Kagome."
 
Naru, who looked a little confused at Ichigo's comment, just turned back to his ramen.

Hita walked over to Kagome and whispered into her ear "Actually, I put it on his seat right before he sat down."

"Ichigo, my friend, I think you might've gotten something pulled on you. I know my twin and that devilish smile of her's."Neji said to the pink haired boy.

"BWAAHHHHHH!!!!!"Kowaru screamed as his youngest jumped onto his head from behind."Oh, hey Sora. I was wondering where you were at."

"She got bored, so she said she wanted to surprise you when you got here. So what took you so long?"Tenten asked her husband, to which his reply was just to point at the paternal Uchiha.
 
"I know she already tagged me, Kagome. Why do you think I didn't take my coat off?" Ichigo said.

Sano tried to explain how doggedly Kowaru had been sought after by some of the fangirls of the village, Moegi included, but he couldn't resist busting a gut at seeing Sora clamp onto her father's head from the shadows.


"Looks like she got you good, Kowaru-San!" he said, running his fingers through his youngest child's midnight blue hair. Kasumi surprised her father by sliding her right hand down from his gut to his groin, letting it hover for just a second before slipping into his pocket.

"Daddy? I wanna talk to you alone....please?" the dragon-tailed girl said shyly, barely above a whisper.

Sano knew what she'd wanted, and after glancing towards his wife, who'd nodded, he smiled softly.


"Alright Kasumi. Let's go." he said, then he turned towards his fellow Jinchuuriki. "If we ain't back by the time Naruto makes his speech, send Hanabi-Chan after us." he said, hinting at Hanabi's tendencies to find Sano without fail whenever he was late.

"Tou-San...if Kasumi wants that...I want to join you later." Kagome said in her meloncholic, emo voice.
 
Kowaru noticed his close pal starting to leave. "Hey, you know, I was planning to throw one of my ususal parties tonight, Sano-san." he said as Sora started to pound on his head like a bongo."You two could just wait til then. Plus, I think Naruto is about to make his speach." He pointed outside toward the crowd heading towards Hokage Mountain.

"Daddy, do we hath to go lithen to Unca Naru give hith thpeech? It'th gonna be the thame as latht year." Sora said, still pounding away.

"Yeah, Sora, we do. Come on everyone." he said, with a big groan as the reply. "If you survive this, I'll let everyone come to the 'Party'. And you know that its rare that I even let my two oldest come." With that bribe in place, he paid his families bill for the ramen, being as large as it usually is when Naru eats, and left with his family to go listen to the (boring) speech.
 
As Sano started to follow his friend towards the center of town, he put his youngest child on his shoulders and held Kagome's hand at her request. But as they continued down the walkway, Ichigo went up to Hita.

"Hita-Chan" he whispered. "What say you and I sneak off and have our own bit of fun while everyone listens to that old fox's boring-ass speech?"

-----

Meanwhile, as he stood overlooking the village, a spiky-haired blonde was actually nervous. He didn't like the anticipation, but the Festival was something that Tsunade had done right in his eyes.


"Do you think I should use my usual speech, Honey? Or should I just follow my heart this year?" he asked the violet haired woman standing next to him, holding a hat with the kanji for 'Fire' on the front-center.

A five-year old boy stood next to them, and he was clinging to his mother's kimono with one hand, and his free hand was making seemingly random gestures that were really one-handed signs.


"Mama, Can I thee Thowa-Tan at the pawteh?" he asked, a silver rose growing out of the metal rail in front of him, minus the thorns. "I weely wike her."
 
"Sure Strawberry. Lets hurry before our dads notice were gone."Hita replied, dragging her friend/Festival date behind a barrel that was convienently nearby.

"Lets just leave 'em" Kowaru said before Sano could make any remarks.

---

"Maybe, sweety, if her father lets anyone young come to the party"Hinata told her son, who was just as old as her oldest cousins youngest child. She turned to her husband. "Just go with what is in your heart. I'm sure Lady Tsunade will understand." She said, handing him the Hokage Hat.
 
As Sano heard his best friend's words, he caught a glimpse of Ichigo and Hita behind a rather large barrel. He was tempted to use the Byakugan in his left eye to see what they were doing back there, but a tug at his hand snapped him back to reality.

"Daddy? I see Auntie Hinata up there!" Kasumi said, forgetting about what she was about to ask her father. "She looks really pretty today!"

"Everybody, listen up!" Naruto's voice rang out above the whole town, effectively silencing those who were actually paying attention. "I felt like doing my own speech this year, so here goes. I know that Granny Tsunade started this thing years ago, back before the old pervy sage Jiraiya died, but this year's gonna have something new! Now, first off, I'd like five people that I've known since I was a Gennin to come up here and help me and Hinata demonstrate!"

Sano and Sakura both perked up a bit at this, thinking that Naruto was going to call for them. They were half right.

"Sakura-Chan, Tenten-Chan, Shikamaru, Gaara, and Kakashi-Sensei! Could you five come up here, please? And no clones either! That goes triple for you, Kakashi-Sensei! And Tenten-Chan, please bring your youngest up with you, too!"

-----


"Mama? What'th Papa doing?" Naruto's son, Minato Jiraiya Uzumaki asked.

Naruto heard his son and smiled.


"Don't worry, Minato." he said. "It's a special treat, since today is not only the night of the Festival of Roses, but also your fifth birthday. Trust me, you'll like it."

-----

Even as Naruto spoke, Shikamaru, Gaara and Kakashi were passing by Sakura, Tenten, and their families. Gaara was the only one who spoke, seeing as how Shikamaru and Kakashi expected something to go wrong as soon as they got up there.


"Come on, you two. I want this out of the way as fast as possible." the Kazekage said, a small swirl of sand hovering around him, just for aesthetics. "I'm pretty sure you're both well aware that I'm only here because of Uchiha Sanosuke. Speaking of which, after this is over, you still owe me a rematch."

"I didn't forget, Gaara."

"At least you're going about the Festival better than last year." Sakura said, having a mental flashback to the previous Festival, where Gaara had encased himself in a sand ball, just to prevent himself from getting tagged, only to be outwitted by Kasumi's innocent begging to 'play'. "But, you have a point. Naruto does tend to get a bit antsy with the whole speech thing."
 
"Yeah, and he isn't even doing the normal speech Lady Tsunade made."Tenten said.(though I wonder why he wants me to bring Sora with)

"Mama, why doth Unca Naru want me to go up there?" Sora asked, making her mother wonder if she could read minds.

"I don't really know sweety, but maybe Minato is up there with him."Tenten replied, and her youngest jumped from her fathers head to her mothers arms.

"YAY! Let'th go thee Mina!!! I really like him 'cuth heth funny like Unca Naru." Sora said, getting excited to see her friend.

Once they all got up there, Tenten put Sora down and she ran up to and nearly collided with the Hokage's son. She started to fall, and when Minato grabbed her hand to help balance her, once she removed her hand, her name was burnt into his palm, her tag finally on him.

---

Meanwhile, down in the crowd, the Kagekage activated his Byakugan so as to see everyone around him and their reations to what his knuckle-headed cousin-in-law was about to do. He was also looking at his two family members that went up there and noticed what his youngest did to the Hokage's son.

"Hehe I was wondering how she was gonna tag him... and it looks like she faked losing her balance."Kowaru said outloud to himself.

---

"So Garra-kun, do you know what my idiot brother-in-law is doing, because I sure don't." Hanabi silently asked her date to for the Festival as he and the others Naruto called up passed her.
 
"Not a damn clue." Gaara said.

Sano smirked a bit at Kowaru's words. He'd been wondering himself if Sora was going to tag Minato, and he simply looked towards those that had gone up to the Hokage.

-----

"Hi, Thowa-Tan!" Minato said. He didn't even see that she'd tagged him and simply kissed her cheek as a rose grew from his hand and into her hair.

Naruto smiled with his big-ass dopey grin that the entire village had come to know and love (?) and pulled Hinata close to him.


"Alright, here's how this is going to work. Those of you here, along with those you tagged, or were tagged by in Kakashi-Sensei and Gaara's case, will join Hinata and myself as the couples in the first dance. Now, the reason I specifically chose you over any of the others I know is simple. I got along with you guys better than I did with anyone else." Naruto said.

He took Hinata and started to lead the group down to the open dance floor. About halfway down, he whispered to Tenten that he'd had her bring Sora up because Minato had asked. Once they had all gathered, he looked towards those that were in the audience and spoke for all to hear.


"Alright! I want those that were tagged by these fine ladies to step forward! And I also want the one who tagged Kakashi-Sensei to come up here as well."

Sano sighed slightly, but started to walk towards the group. He knew that his old friend and rival would be right behind him, and even though he knew Hanabi had tagged Gaara, he wondered who'd tagged his old Sensei. He almost stopped short when he saw his youngest daughter run past him and latch herself onto Kakashi's arm.


"You have got to be joking...I didn't think Kasumi had tagged anyone!" he said.
 
"My question is where she tagged him." Kowaru said to the Shisarakage."Anyway, what's going on luv?" he asked his wife.

"We were chosen to be the first couples, besides Naruto and Hinata, to dance in the first dance." Tenten said, noting her husbands now scared looking face.

"Dance??? B-b-b-but at the last couple festivals we didn't have to d-dance..." Kowaru started stuttering due to the fact that he really didn't know that much about dancing. He barely learned the proper dancing techniques in time for his own wedding, and that was too long ago for him to remember everything.

"It's alright itoko. I'm sure Tenten will lead you." Hinata said to her cousin, knowing that while he is one of the best fighters, he had two left feet on the dance-floor.

"Yeah, straight into another room so she and him can..." Hanabi stopped what she was saying due to her sister and her eldest cousin glaring at her, though Tenten was blushing slightly.

The entire group then turned so they could hear the rest of Naruto's speech. Sora and Minato both decided to jump onto the Kagekage's head and use it for a vantage point to see the Hokage and the village in front of them while Naruto gave the end of the speech.
 
"Well, if all we have to do is dance, then I suppose us girls are gonna be taking lead?" Sakura said, knowing that both Kowaru and Sano couldn't dance to save their lives.

"Kakashi-Sensei-Kun!! You gotta dance with me!!"

"Well...can't complain, I guess." Kakashi said, tilting his head to one side, cracking his neck.

Shikamaru and Gaara both stood with their partners, Temari and Hanabi respectively, prepared to dance. However, it was painfully obvious that Gaara had no clue what the hell he was doing, since he merely floated an inch off the ground with a layer of sand keeping him aloft.


"I can tell you now, Sakura-Chan. I learned a bit more than recipes when I was in Yukinokuni last month. I learned a few dances from an old friend."

"Are you telling me that Princess Koyuki taught my husband, the only Uchiha in the entire Village with three left feet, how to dance?"

"That's exactly what he's telling you, Sakura." Gaara said.

-----


"Naru-Kun" Kagome said, stepping up to the one she tagged and grabbing his hand. "Come with me. I want to go see what Ichi-Ni is doing. And I also wnat to do something for you, but you have to follow me if you want it."

-----

Ichigo had waited for the 'old fox' to start his speech before he'd pressed his lips against Hita's. Even now, while everyone was distracted, he was waging war against his love with his tongue, battling for dominance of her mouth. When he heard mention of dancing, he decided to try something new...


"Hita-Chan...wanna try something new? I bet you'll like it." he said, giving her the smile that she fell in love with before he'd graduated from the Academy.

He was unaware of what Kagome was planning, and he wouldn't have minded if she'd filled him in first...
