(formerly an ETA above) Haruno Kikuko is two years older, wears her hair in a pigtail, and a maroon bodysuit under a chunnin vest. She has some kind of bizarre three-way thing going with Kiba's sister and one of Sandaime's aides. Sakura doesn't even want to THINK about how that works, espesciually since the there was a big argument and the two of them old him off in front of the house a couple weeks ago, but Kikuko spends just as many evenings out late on dates.
The twins, Jinrei and Kenjiro deviate from the Haruno norm by being strongly psychic but not having second selves - Yamanaka Inoshi was their jounin sensei and taught them as much of the Yamanaka psychic jutsus as the clan elders would let him get away with, to the point that the more traditional of them are pushing for an arranged marriage between Ino and one of them. They're chuunin also, planning to take the jounin exam next time it's offered, and three years older than Sakura. They use a highly effective paired fighting style that they developed on their own, which they call aunnokokyuuken (aunnokokyuu - (n) the harmonizing, mentally and physically, of two parties engaged in an activity). Their bodysuits are similar to Ryoko's red and black number from Tenchi Muyo! (well, one version or another of TM!) with mirrored patterns, plus of course the usual vest.
The eldest, unimaginitively named Ichimaru, is an ANBU jounin, and most information is classified. His mask is patterned after a cat.
Haruno-tousan is named Apuro, and retired on disability after losing an arm six years ago. He has a prosthetic similar to what nin-puppet masters sometimes graft into themselves, but as puppetry has never been a Haruno art, he's only now getting the hang of it well enoguh to consider going back on duty - and there's his family to consider too, he's found that he's greatly enjoyed having more time for them the past few years. He wears civilian clothes... for now... but still ones that offer good mobility and a few hiding places for kunai and explosive tags.
Haruno-kaasan is named Ayame, and has, herself, gone back to active duty now that Sakura has graduated from the academy, after a couple of decades doing guard duty and raising kids. She's a jounin also, known for helping chuunin assigned to her reach jounin level but who turned down the offer of a genin team in a year or two, after getting her hand back in, on the grounds that she'd raised enough kids of her own, and while she loves them all dearly it's time for a bit of a rest. Kikuko's bodysuit/vest combination was based on hers, except of course for a jounin style vest. She fights with a traditional Hidden Grass style learned from her father that uses twin kodachi, and wears arm guards like the one Sarutobi-sama had on to fight Orochimaru, except that hers have elbow spikes for rear strikes.
ETA again: RE the map Nathan linked to above - comparing this to the map shown in the Wave Mission-era manga, they've got an extra land area - the little spur of Fire country that extends down the coast is supposed to be a peninsula. I'm siting the city Jiraya is at in TXY2 there - it's the shinobi-world equivalent of Miami at spring break, so where ELSE would he be than Kirika?
