Ages:
Naruto:6
Sasuke:7 Now don't bug me about it!

Chapter one: Why me?

a young brunette sat on the step of his family's estate. A single tear dropped onto a blood covered photograph, the only remnant of his family. All because of his damned brother.

Sasuke didn't notice when said brother appeared next to him, forming seals to a jutsu Sasuke wouldn't of recognized.

At the shout of "Sound style: Alteration jutsu!" The young Sasuke looked up right as a black cloud engulfed him. The only thing Sasuke could register through all the pain was Itachi's evil laughter. The last thing which passed through his mind was 'Why..' then he knew no more3

Everybody's favorite blonde pre-academy ninja was found walking down the streets of Kohona. Yea, he knew people hated him, which is why he was always so quiet (yea I know really OOC, but it will change trust me). After an unusually hard shove from a lady walking past, Naruto stumbled into an alley.

"What do you want here monster?"

Naruto jumped at the voice, wincing at the venom it held. turning around, he saw a homeless mother, and her children, all of them dressed in nothing but rags.

Feeling bad for them, he reached into the pocket of the oversized orange cargo pants that he was wearing, and pulled out some money, throwing it to the mother who looked at it with disgust.

"We need no assistance from you monster, now LEAVE" Shouted the woman, tearing up the money, and throwing it back at Naruto.

Unfazed, Naruto turned and walked back into the street. His stomach chose that moment to make itself known, with a loud groooowwlllllll. Reaching back into his pocket, Naruto realized that he had given all of his money to the homeless woman.

Sighing the blonde walked to the edge of the village and into the forest to the little clearing he always visited when he was lonely. Naruto had no idea where all of this despise for his existance came from, and he really didn't care. All he knew, was that he hated his life, but was too scared of death to do anything about it.

Naruto just shrugged, "I really am weak aren't I?"

Arriving in the clearing, Naruto immediately felt that something was off. Pulling out the one weapon he had, a rusted kunai, he searched his area.

A rustle of the bushes brought Naruto to attention. He looked around from where the sound had come from, and when he found its origin, he nearly puked

A small puppy was lying behind the bush, whimpering softly, burn marks and cuts all over its body. Naruto wanted to cry. He always had a soft spot for animals.

Gently picking up the puppy, Naruto walked into the middle of the clearing. Tearing off a shirt sleeve, he wrapped the dog up in a bandage like way. Searching for any collar and not finding any, Naruto cracked a small smile.

He had his own puppy!

'and a puppy needs a name doesn't it... hmmmmmm, lets see, how about... muffin? nah, mini-Naruto? again no... hmmmmmmmm how about... Chicho? YEA that works.' looking down at the now sleeping puppy, he patted its head and whispered.

"Good night, my Chicho."

Novi: so love it? Hate it? want more? Well I don't know unless you tell me. so REVIEWS PLEASE!
