No one
No one knew about the secrets he hid, or the reason why his eyes looked so dead the day he returned. It was only by mere coincidence that he had been allowed back to Konoha to see his so called friends.
Naruto, loud and obnoxious as ever, but he still dealt with it.
Sakura, much different than when he'd last seen her, yet still the usual pink haired bombshell he could remember.
Kakashi, the same, but somehow different. He couldn't quite figure out what it was, though he would ponder on it for a long while.
They stayed and talked until the sun began to set and when he, Suigetsu, Karin, and Juugo made their announcement to leave, they came to see him off. All three of them with their big smiles (though Kakashi's was hidden as always) and happy waves. Naruto was the one that came up to him and hugged him, told him that everything would be alright, while all he could do was stand there stiffly and take it.
He knew nothing would ever be the same, but he also knew that none of the Leaf village knew what had happened. The only thing he could do was force a smile, pat his friend on the back, and take his leave, like he usually did.
His teammates went ahead, as he told them to do, and he couldn't help the urge to turn and run back to the group he knew as his friends. The ones who might notice why his eyes looked blank and his heart weak.
But he couldn't do it.
He eventually kept walking, following after the three of these new people he called `friends` and forcing himself to show that he was still alive, even though he, Uchiha Sasuke, was dead on the inside.
No one had noticed the ring on his right handle, middle finger, or the black nail polish on his fingernails.
