Haru sat in front of Itachi,his older cousin. The seven year old looked his older cousin. "Father said you mastered the Sharingan..." Haru said looking unsure. Itachi nodded. "Yeah it's true." Itachi said shocking Haru. "My father likes you better than me." Haru said,looking like he was going to cry. "Yeah,Haru,I know. Your father cruel to you." Itachi said in an understanding voice. Haru felt tears come up. Itachi looked at his eyes. One was blue and the other black. Haru was one odd Uchiha. He wasn't truely smart and wasn't too popular like his older cousin. Itachi stood up and hugged the younger one telling him it's okay to cry. "Love you..." Haru said and drifted into the sweet sleep that came after crying too much. Itachi picked up the slightly smaller boy,careful not to wake him,and went into the other room to ask he was staying the night. "Mother,can Haru stay tonight?" Itachi said looking at his mother. "Why are you asking?"She laughed alittle before going on,"You don't ask the nights he sneaks through the window." Itachi smiled. Haru had snuck through the window alot in the past month. Haru went to Itachi for help on everything. He went to the main house when his dad started to yell at him. "Cousie Haru is stay?" A four year old Sasuke asked. Itachi looked at Sasuke and nodded. Sasuke smiled. Even though Haru wasn't as good as Itachi,Haru still trained Sasuke and Sasuke would love it. Itachi would normally stand there,watching.Haru seemed to be more of a brother than Itachi.

Haru sat in front of Itachi looking at his dead parents. Without fear or hate in his eyes Haru looked at him and whispered,"Kill me,Itachi-Danna,for I'm the worst Uchiha here. I have no right to be living." Itachi pulled the younger cousin to his feet. "Find that reason for living and then I will gladly take it from you." Itachi said and went to kill the rest. He got to the doorway before he heard, "You will be my reason,Danna." Itachi smiled and felt Haru walk up to him. "Sides this family...Was just a cage I couldn't get out of." Haru said and smiled. Haru first real smile in all his life.Haru helped kill the rest of the clan. Finally leaving Sasuke alive they went off. They wasted two years of their lives somehow,before Itachi joined Akatsuki. Haru wasn't a member but Itachi wouldn't just leave Haru.
