Many years ago, Tang Shen had met two boys; Hamato Yoshi and Hamato Saki. Both were infatuated with her kindness, her beauty, and how gentle she was. And overtime, Shen had grown to care for the two of them. But she could only love one as her true love.

It wasn't easy, at first. But she did not come to regret her decision. Questioned it? Maybe, but never regret.

The two brothers, like all brothers, developed a rivalry in everything, including a competition on who could best whom in ninjitsu. But the rivalry grew bitter when both fell for Tang Shen.

And when Saki learned the truth of his heritage, added with Yoshi and Shen's marriage and first-born, a bridge was burned between them. And forever did Saki consume himself in his rage, fuelling a fire he had inadvertently caused in his family's old home.

The two brothers fought, and Shen, shielding her beloved from a killing blow, took the fatal hit.

She survived, unbeknownst to Saki, and Yoshi mourned little Miwa and the two fled to New York where they could safely hide from Saki's ire and vengeance.

Little they knew, their lives would forever change from that day forth, with four new additions.

''Underneath the Sakura Tree'' is a ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012'' fanfic written by [=BabyPinkPuppy=] where Tang Shen survived that fated night and the Turtles are her and Splinter's human sons.

!!''Underneath the Sakura Tree'' provides examples of:
* AdaptationSpeciesChange:
** While Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo were mutant turtles in canon, here they are very much human.
** Downplayed with Hamato Yoshi. Unlike his canon counterpart, Splinter remains human.
* DeadGuyJunior: Miwa was named after her then-deceased paternal grandmother.
* DeathByAdaptation: While in canon it was revealed that Miwa survived the night her mother died and was raised as Karai, here that isn't the case.
* DecompositeCharacter: This version of Karai is not Hamato Miwa, Miwa having really died when the Hamato estate burned down.
* MythologyGag: It is passively mentioned that one of Tang Shen's friends was named [[Series/NinjaTurtlesTheNextMutation Mei Pei Chi]].
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: While in canon it's implied that Splinter's human DNA is what gave the mutant turtles their humanoid physiologies (making him their biological father in the loosest sense of the term), here they are Splinter and Tang Shen's naturally born sons.
