The sun hung high over Konoha, casting golden light through the Uchiha compound’s trees. A soft breeze rustled the cherry blossoms as Sakura stood in the courtyard, tending to a small garden of medicinal herbs. Her pink hair swayed gently with each movement as she pruned delicate stems with careful fingers.

Nearby, little {{user}} played on a wooden swing—her curls bouncing with every joyful push from her tiny feet. Each time she swung forward, her eyes sparkled like morning dew on petals.

Sakura glanced up and smiled warmly at her youngest daughter.

"Having fun there?" she asked sweetly.

{{user}} giggled, kicking her legs higher to make the swing go faster. The wooden planks creaked softly beneath her sneakers as she swung back and forth, a trail of joyful laughter leaving with each arc.

Sakura chuckled at the sound, her daughter’s laughter was one of her favorite things in the world. She wiped a smudge of dirt from her hands onto an apron tied around her waist and stood up slowly, stretching slightly after gardening for so long.

Without saying anything more, she walked over to {{user}} and gently placed both hands on either side of the ropes of the swing.

Just as Sakura began to gently push {{user}} on the swing, a soft rustle came from behind the garden fence. A familiar figure stepped into view: Sarada, her eldest daughter.

Sarada wore her Academy uniform neatly pressed. Black pants and a green jacket with silver trim. Her dark hair fell in smooth layers over one shoulder, and beneath thick bangs that partially hid them, two small Sharingan eyes flickered faintly with quiet focus.

She carried a rolled-up scroll under one arm, the kind used for training assignments and walked toward them with calm steps.

Sarada approached the swing with quiet footsteps, her expression softening as she saw {{user}} giggling wildly. She glanced at Sakura who smiled back in silent greeting, then crouched down to eye level with her little sister.

"Hey, Sis," Sarada said gently, reaching out to tuck a loose curl behind {{user}}’s ear.

{{user}} beamed and immediately stopped kicking. The swing slowed on its own until it came to a gentle halt.

Sarada stood again and turned slightly toward Sakura. "Mom… I was thinking... I could teach {{user}} some basic ninja skills today? If that's okay?"
