Symphony of The Fallen Crow {Itachi's daughter Story}

Act 1: Part 4

Haruno Sakura, Uzumaki Naruto, and the little Uchiha Minako waved at Uchiha Sasuke as his figure disappeared from their view. Sakura looked down at Minako as the little girl gazed into the distance. Her right hand was clutching Sakura's and her left was holding onto her teddy bear's squishy arm. The young girl, sensing the older woman's stare, glanced up at her.

"What would you like to do?" the pink haired kunoichi asked softly. By this time, Naruto had left, most likely to get more wedding preparations together, so it was only the two females. The little purple eyed girl put her chubby hand to her chin and tapped it in thought as she looked up to the sky.

"Hn." She muttered before snapping her fingers as an idea came to her. "Can we get ramen, achi? Papa said Konoha has some of the best ramen ever!" Sakura nodded and giggled at the child's sparkling eyes.

"Yes, we can. I know just the place to go." she led the small girl down the busy streets of Konoha to a small stand labeled 'Ramen Ichiraku' and assisted Mina in sitting on one of the stools before taking a seat herself. Sakura felt a tug on her shirt's side and glanced down to see the black haired girl looking up at her.

"Do they have Miso ramen here, Mommy?" if Sakura was drinking something, she would've spit it out. Sasuke's daughter just called her mother. She could almost feel her inner quaking with joy. The pinkette quickly shrugged off all of the emotions she had felt in that moment, noticing the girl's expectant stare.

"Uh, yes. They do have Miso ramen here, Mina-chan." Sakura went back to studying the menu after the conversation had ended. Only moments later, the girl let out a sigh causing the older female to look down at her with a compassionate, yet questioning gaze.

"Sorry for calling you mommy. I never had a mommy." Minako sounded much older than her age as she gazed at the table. The pink haired female looked down at the girl with a gentle smile.

"I don't mind you calling me that." she said softly. Just like that, Mina lit up like a christmas tree and smiled in response, hugging her bear close to her chest. Before the girl got a chance to reply, an older man walked up to them.

"Hello, Teuchi-san." Sakura greeted.

"Hello, Sakura-san and who is this?" the old man, now known as Teuchi, asked. Sakura placed a hand on the girl's shoulder and gestured for her to introduce herself.

"My name is Uchiha Mina, achi!" She quickly spoke and waved shyly.

"She's Sasuke's daughter, here for the wedding." Sakura clarified, noticing the older man's wide eyes. He shook off the shock and smiled at his two customers.

"Well, it's a pleasure to meet you, Mina-san. What can I get you?"

"I'll have Miso!" Mina spoke, gleefully.

"I'll have Shoyu ramen, please." the pink haired woman said after.

*******

The two girls ate their ramen in a peaceful silence before the younger decided to break it.

"Will anyone imp-impore-importane-important (mutters: "what a hard word") be at the wedding of Uncle Naru and Hina-san?" Sakura chuckled at the girl's cute way of sounding out words and nodded.

"Yes. All the kages will be there." Mina's eyes sparkled when she heard that and she quickly ate her noodles. She had been wanting to meet them all.

********

Mina and Sakura were walking around the streets of Konoha when they were stopped by a young brown haired boy dragging a man with him.

"Hi, Sakura-chan! I'm making a video recording for a wedding gift with everyone in it. Can you speak in it? Oh and I also have Sai here to do it with you too." Mina looked curiously at the boy who had yet to notice her.

"Is it okay if Mina-chan is in it, Konohamaru?" Sakura asked, looking down at the short female. Konohamaru glanced down at where the pink haired woman was holding hands with the female Uchiha. His eyes widened for a moment before going back to normal.

"Sure!" he replied with a large grin. He started up the camera. Sakura went first with Mina being held against her right side on her hip and waved with her gloved left hand.

"Naruto and Hinata..." Then the black haired Sai jumped in. "Congratulations on your wedding!" All three people enthusiastically said with Mina taking longer due to the difficult first word.

Author-chan's Fun Fact: Author-chan was originally going to use a lot more Japanese words in the story, but found out a lot of people didn't like that in other stories.
