Disclaimer: I don’t own Naruto

Note: This chapter will be extremely short, but the next chapter will be better!!!


“Alright, Sasuke I passed!!!” Naruto yelled as he exited the academy after his exams. Sasuke nodded his head and stared into the warm blue orbs of his friend, he always felt warm and secure in those eyes. “Look at my headband Naruto it looks just like yours, this is so awesome, we’re genin now!”


“Hey Naruto would you like to have some ramen with me before we go home.”: his blond friend nodded eagerly before saying “race yah there. After slurping his noodles Sasuke looked at Naruto. Thank you for being my best friend, you’re the closest person I’ve got in this village.” “You to Sasuke. I mean the other are just fine and what not, but I think you know me better than a lot of people. We always tell each other everything.” Sasuke nodded always.


The twelve bowls of ramen were lay in piles before them and after Sasuke had paid the two boys walked happily towards the Hatake household with arms around each others shoulders singing “We are the champions.” Sasuke was always willing to do anything to make his best friend happy.


Kakashi was using the phone “Well that’s great news to hear Iruka, I never doubted that Naruto would pass.” He smiled at the thought of his son.


“Say I know this is sudden, but would you like to celebrate tonight by having dinner with us?” Kakashi could hear the man stutter and could almost feel him blush through the phone. “Great then we’ll meet you at eight, along with Sasuke and Itachi.” Just then the two boys bounded in “…the champion (tun tun tun)…of the world!!!!”


The two boys burst in a fury of giggles. Sasuke slapped Naruto’s back, “Well I’m gonna get home and get ready, might take a while for us though. My brother is known for taking forever to get ready.” Naruto hugged his friend “Ok Sasuke I’ll see you at dinner then.”

Sasuke bounded happily home excited to tell the great news to his parents and his brother. He was approaching his household and admiring his mothers garden, her garden was her pride and joy. He walked up the steps taking in the unfamiliar scent that wafted through the air, he couldn’t quite place the smell.


“Hey bro are you home, we gotta get ready for dinner. Bro… where is everybody.” He bounded upstairs where the smell seemed to be getting stronger. “Oh my god, don’t tell me you guys forgot about my graduation today.” though it wouldn’t surprise him if they did. “And seriously guys what’s that smell?” he heard a whisper, it would have gone unheard if he hadn’t listened closely.


“Do you really want to know?” there was a bit of ice in his voice.


“Bro what’s going on? Where’s mom and da…” Sasuke stopped in his tracks as he looked at the lifeless forms of his mother and father, his brother clutching a kunai knife in his hand, dripping of blood. The bodies were torn viciously with different body parts being removed. Sasuke couldn’t hold it back he threw up his lunch and it felt like his stomach was try to expel his organs.


“Little brother I’ve killed them all… your cousins, uncles, and aunts, even your grandparents. Now I guess I should kill you.” Itachi raised his knife and was about to swing down, “No Itachi! Don’t I’m scarred.” Itachi looked down at him in disgust,


“You’re not even worth killing.” Sasuke looked up into dark red eyes. “How can you call yourself an Uchiha when you can’t even fight to save your own life.” Itachi was heading towards the door “Oh, and little brother, if you ever want to defeat me; to even stand a chance you will have to kill the person who is closest to you. Only then will your sharingan fully realize it’s power.”


‘No! Naruto…’ The boy sobbed with Itachi’s words echoing in his ears. His whole family, his whole life, destroyed on his happiest day. His tears fell to the floor where he was crouched in the corner. He cried and cried, tears falling everywhere around him.

“Dad I wonder where Sasuke is…he hasn’t shown up for dinner.” Kakashi was starting to get that feeling in his gut again ‘What the hell is going on?’. “Naruto why don’t we check up on Sasuke in the morning ok?” Naruto turned to his dad “Can we go check on him now, please. I feel scarred right now, it’s not like him.”


Kakashi turned to Iruka, “Why don’t I go check on Sasuke and Iruka can take you home.” Iruka nodded and smile at Naruto.


As Kakashi approached the house swarms of ANBU and jounin could be seen. He entered the scene and approached one of the ANBU he recognized and asked “So what’s going on here?” It was more of a statement than a question. “We we’re sent here by a call from the neighbors, they said they thought they heard a small yell. However it being from the Uchiha household it was normal to hear small screams since the head of the household was known for slight domestic violence. But with Itachi here we thought of it as something slight. However it appears that the whole clan of Uchiha’s had been wiped out, that's when we raised the red flags."


‘Oh No! Sasuke’ “Where is Sasuke Uchiha…Answer me!!!”


“Sir, it seems the whole Uchiha clan has died except for a boy who refuses to speak. He’s in that ambulance right now.”


Kakashi walked towards the ambulance unprepared for the sight before him, inside was Sasuke but it was a lifeless Sasuke, one whose feelings and emotions were nowhere present. All that could be seen was Sasuke holding onto a picture, a picture of him and Naruto. As if he was in a trance Sasuke began to rock back and forth saying “I won’t do it, I can’t do it, I won’t do it…”


Naruto sat in his house, the feeling in his gut had failed to leave. He opted to do calisthenics until his body passed out from exhaustion on his living room carpet.


Kakashi returned with a very sad look in his eyes. Kakashi pulled Iruka into the kitchen and explained what he heard happened. Iruka began to cry into Kakashi’s shoulder.

Sasuke lay in his bed in the hospital, His brothers words repeating in his head “Oh, and little brother, if you ever want to defeat me; to even stand a chance you will have to kill the person who is closest to you.” Sasuke’s heart was torn up, he made a final decision. ‘If I am to protect Naruto he must become the person farthest from my heart, and that goes for Iruka and Kakashi as well. I will protect them by becoming the person that they hate. And then one day, I will also avenge my clan.’


An dark mist was beginning to surround the happy village of Konoha.


Many men easily do without truth but no one is strong enough to do without illusions
