Chapter 1: Acknowledgement

It was a bright sunny afternoon, a young Sasuke looked out the window he had been very excied a few months ago to be starting at the academy. Most of the current lessons were about team work and basic moves things he aready knew. He sighed and his eyes glanced to the front and for some reason he noticed a young girl with short blue hair. She was on the row below him two seats to the right. She was in a deep concentration, what caught his attention was that she wasnt paying any attention either she was drawing a picture.

After a while she seemed to be done and proud of her work from the smile she had on her face. He was only able to see a side of her face, Sasuke raised a brow and tried to take a closer look at to what it was, he squinted but could not make out what is was supposed to be but he was brought out of his thoughts when the teacher seemed to have noticed that she wasnt paying attention either.

"Hinata would you like to share with the class what you have there?" question the teacher. Sasuke held back the giggle as he noticed the girl turn bright red lower her head and shake her head no. She was supposed to be a shinobi one day? "As I was saying for your homework for this weekend, I want you all to write a one page report as to why you want to be a shinobi, what are your goals for the future." he said. There were many protest from the boys and giggles from the girls in the row behind him. And then the bell rang he got up and started to pack his things up. For whaterver reason he noticed the girl with blue hair that he now knows is named Hinata start to put her things away also. She finished first and turned around and he got a glance of her for a brif moment and his heart spead up and his hands began to sweat. Without a word she finished and headed out the door this upseted him for two reasons he wanted to keep looking at her and for having such a wierd feeling he was not pleased with himself.

He is an Uchiha after all!

He was brought out of his thoughts when he finally noticed the giggles of the girls, "So um" started a blonde girl with short hair and bright blue eyes. "Sasuke what are you going to write your paper about." Ino asked with a smile and a pink blush.

"I bet its going to be the best" said a girl with two pig tails. "He's so cool!" shrieked another girl.

"I don't know yet." was all he said and hurried out of the class before they started talking again. And so he hurried home.

Later that evening he sat at the dinner table with his family, "How was school Sasuke?" asked itachi that snapped him out of his thoughts. "It was ok..." he started "Im supposed to write about what I want to do as a shinobi." Sasuke glanced at his father "But Im going to be part of the police force like you dad!" he exclamed with excitement waiting for his fathers responce.

"Is that what you want to do Sasuke?" responded the older brother. Itachi noticed the odd look his young brother gave him.

Sasuke stopped and thought about it for a moment, and continued to look at his plate. What did he want to be? He just assumed he was supposed to join the force like the rest of his family. "Well yeah Im an Uchiha too." he said and got a smile from his father that made him proud.

"That's right my boy..." exclaimed their father he was pleased with his youngest son getting his priorities in order at such a young age.

"You really should think about it. You have an open path Sauske you can be anything you want and go as far as you want." said the eldest son.

Mikoto looked around the table sometimes it was hard living in a house full of males. She sighed she would have loved to have a daughter someone who would understand her. "Alright settle down boys." she said taking charge "Sasuke you can be anything you want and if your heart is set on joining the police force like your dad that's wonderful." she said

Sasuke looked back down at his plate, what else could he be after all Uchiha's always joined the police force.

It was only Uchiha's who could be part of the police force.

"I suppose your mother and brother are right but you will be an excellent police officer." Fugaku chimed in he was happy that his son was willing to follow his steps.

The rest of the dinner went quietly and soon it was time for bed but he simply just couldn't sleep. Sasuke sat up and figured he should get started on that paper, it would be easy.

Or it should have been he couldn't concentrate his mind kept wandering back to that picture Hinata drew. And there he went thinking about that girl again. She was a quiet girl who was more than likely weak because she is shy. And kinda weird she was weird too. The odds are against her and she is doodling in class! She could use all the help that she can get she should be paying attention!

"Why am I even thinking about that stupid girl." he mumbled to himself he had to get his head in the game after all his father is expecting him to keep his priorities in order as he has been.

The next day Sasuke woke up early hoping to get some training with his older brother. "Itachi can I train with you today?" asked the younger Uchiha.

The eldest wasn't surprised that Sasuke was up this early on a weekend when most would be sleeping in. He didn't have anything to do he could take an hour or two to see what progress his younger brother was making. "Sure, hurry and get your things."

The smile on his face showed how excited Sasuke was as he ran off to get his things. He had already packed them he just needed the green light from his brother. Soon both brothers found themselves in the Uchiha training grounds and before Sasuke knew it was past Lunch time. "Lets head back to get lunch." said Itach.

This brought a frown to Sasuke's face "Just a while longer." he wined and as he finished his protest his stomach growled with a protest of its own. Causing a pink shade to cover his chubby cheeks.

"We still have to get home we've been gone all morning Mother will be wondering where we are." was Itachi's response with a smile.

The younger of the two agreed "Ok" he didn't want his stomach to keep rumbling.

Their walk home was quiet until Itachi brought it up again "Have you put any thoughts as to what you want to do as a shinobi."

Sasuke wondered about that he thought it would be easy to write that paper. He should be done now but ever since he brought it up yesterday can't seem to find the words to put on that page. "Itachi why do you keep asking. Dont you want me to join the police force?"

" I think you would do amazing if you joined, but I also believe you could do so much more."

That confused Sasuke "Really like what?"

A smile came on Itachi lips "You are strong little brother, you have no idea one day you will be stronger than me." He saw Sasuke's expression, he looked at him like he had lost his mind.

"No one can ever be stronger than you big brother!" he shouted "Besides father looked so proud when I told him I want to join the force." he confessed.

Bingo he figured he wanted to just please their father. "Sasuke you need to find something that is going to make you happy something that you want for you not for someone else father will not be living your life for you." he stated in a serious tone. " You don't need to pick something now but you should take that into consideration before you know it you'll be graduating the Academy and going on missions with your own team."

That seemed like such a long time from now, why should he have to pick now anyways then. Because he should have his priorities straight? What else could he be anyways. "What else is there any ways?" he asked this was too much for a 7 year old.

"The sky is the limit for you." he said Sasuke didn't know how lucky he was that he can grow up to be whatever he wants to be.

After they got home had lunch Itachi was called out for a mission. So he helped his mom clean up "Sasuke dear I have to pick up somethings for dinner care to join me?" she asked with a smile.

He hated grocery shopping but with the way his mom asked how could he say no. He nodded his head he helped her carry the bags and as expected the place was full like any other Saturday. But he waited patiently for his mom to grocery shop standing outside of the shops not getting in the way.

He who stays out of the way helps the most when you have no idea of how to shop for food.

As he waited a tint of blue caught his eye and there she was again. She was walking with a note book in hand. She had a long sleeve pink shirt on with dark capri pants. She had silvery baby purplish pinkish eyes, those were Hyuga eyes opposite to his own dark ones. She seemed like she was trying to find something.

Then she began to head his way; his hands began to get sweaty his heart felt like it was going to jump out of his chest. She approached him he wasn't sure what she could want, what if she was there to annoy him? What could he even say to her? A hundred questions were rushing his mind and just like that she kept walking past him.

She walked past him without a word or as much as a glance. He saw her approach an old man he knew him as the old Hokage.

He noticed her and gave her a gentle smile "Hello Hinata"

She offered the previous Hokage a bright smile "Good e-evening Sarutobi-sama" she moused out and opened her note book and pulled out a page handing it to the man. "I wanted to give this t-to you."

The young Uchiha saw her attempt to be brave infront of the old man.

"You made this for me?" he asked and took the page from her. A blush of rosy pink popped on her cheeks and she nodded.

"Are you ready to get going Sasuke?" asked his mother snapping him out of his thoughts, he was not ready to go he wanted to see that page.

He couldn't let his mom know that though so...

He nodded and helped her with some of the groceries and on their way they went.

When he got home he excused himself to begin his paper, it just didn't feel right to put police force on his page. Like the feeling of getting his fathers acceptance would not be gained by this... what would tho, what can he do to win his father over?

He would have to become the Hokage to for sure... His eyes became wide and his hand just started to write.

If he became Hokage even Hinata would stop and say hi to him. She would draw special pictures for him!

Dinner time came and it was just the three of them Mikoto Fugaku and a young Sasuke. Sasuke was quick to dig in he loved his mother's cooking, "Dinner is delicious mom! Can I get seconds please."

"He's right its one of your best recipes. I'll take another serving also if its not too much trouble." the head of the house exclaimed. His wife did have a way in the kitchen.

Mikoto happily added more to their dinner plates. "Dad can I ask you something?" Sasuke asked when he got a nod from his father he took a breath "Is it ok if I don't join the police force..."

A shocked look appeared on both his parents faces, the same as he had earlier so he decided to continue "I want to do more, I want to protect the village but also our clan. We are strong but we need to be looked after too. I want to be Hokage." he finished.

The shocked look did not leave their face, his dad was the first to speak "That is quite a bit for you to try and take on." he wasn't sure what to say; his son was only 7 and like every other kid his age he wanted to be Hokage. It was normal he would grow out of it and find a realistic path later on he was just a boy after all. And if for whatever twist of fate his youngest does become the leader of the village hidden in the leaves he would be proud.

"I think you will make a great Hokage." his mom chimed in with her smile that made him feel safe.

Fugaku smiled, why couldn't his boy be Hokage he is an Uchiha after all. "Of course he would he is an Uchiha." possibly the first Uchiha in history to become Hokage.

For the first time a young little Sasuke felt like he could concour the world, he had all that he needed his parents approval, the support of his big brother...

And soon Hinata Hyuga's acknowledgment.
