Sasuke collapsed. He had done it. Sasuke had gotten his revenge, but at the price of his eyes. His vision was now no more than a dark haze every now and then punctuated with a dull color. Then it all turned black as Sasuke fell unconscious.

To his surprise, he awoke not to the sun streaming above, but a foot in his face.

"Wake up, kid." A voice snarked. "You don't want to get a sunburn do you?" The foot nudged his chin again and Sasuke swiped the smelly appendage away.

"What sun?" He murmured, painfully getting up. The voice snorted.

"You really all doom and gloom or are you blind?" The voice snickered as if she'd said a joke. "It's the middle of the day." Sasuke faltered. Blind. He was blind. No, this couldn't be happening. "I take it it's both." The voice went on. "Well don't just lie there, gloomy, get up!" At any other time in his life Sasuke would have killed that person, but he couldn't. He was blind, his powers were gone. He was nothing, he was weak. The thought disgusted him and his nails dug into the ground. "Oh just get up already!" the voice complained, clearly getting impatient.

"No." Sasuke said. "Leave me be." leave me here to rot he thought. He heard a sigh and took it the person had given up. To his dismay, after a silence Sasuke heard the voice again.

"Boo."

"What do you want? I thought you left already." Sasuke growled.

"Nope. I've been here the whole time. You really are a blind noob aren't ya?"

"Go away."

"Make me."

Sasuke did nothing but lie there. Whoever was tormenting him would get bored eventually.

"You're a real disappointment." The voice quipped.

Sasuke's eye twitched but he said nothing.

"My parents underestimated me because of my eyes but seems like everyone overestimated you because of yours. The last of the great Uchiha clan. Known for their strength and visual prowess. But I guess what they didn't know that you fools were desperate without your stupid eyes. Pathetic."

That was it. Sitting up Sasuke yelled, "Shut up! How dare you insult the Uchiha clan?"

"What are you talking about?" The voice asked. "I'm just stating the truth. You're the one insulting your name by lying there moping. You're the last uchiha. The clan consists of just you. So if you suck, Uchiha sucks. Simple as that. Prove that the Uchiha are more than their eyes."

Sasuke stood and lunged at the spot he last heard the voice. "I'll make you regret every word you said about my clan!" His fist met nothing but air and the momentum of the punch sent him sprawling. The voice laughed, lending fuel to his fire. His head spun to the direction of the sound. Sasuke squinted, willing his eyes to focus the dark blur into meaningful images. There, movement. This time she only sighed.

"you depend on your eyes too much. Keep using them and you'll lose what sight you have."

"Well what other choice do I have?" Sasuke snapped, sending another failed attack at another flash of movement.

"Close your eyes." She advised. "Right now they're only dragging you down."
He scoffed.

"Don't believe me? Why do you think none of your attacks hit? You're attacking rocks, gloomsville. Aren't you ninja supposed to look past deception?

"How am I supposed to see past deception when I can't fucking see at all! I'm blind, I'm weak, I'm useless. So would you stop mock-
Sauke was cut off by a well placed punch in the gut.

"You think blind means weak? I'll show you weak!" Sasuke was barraged with blow after blow. "Why don't you fight back?" His attacker yelled in frustration.

"Because I'm fucking blind!" Sasuke shouted back.

Toph threw Sasuke down. "That is no excuse. I'm blind and that never stopped me." He looked up in surprise at that.

"Train me." Sasuke demanded.

"Nope."

"Why not?"

"What's the magic word?"

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"Ask me to train you again."

"You have to train me."

"No, I don't have to. I didn't even have to beat the amount of sense into you as I did. I coulda just left you to die."

"But you didn't. So would you please just train me? I'll pay you back. What do you want me to do?" Sasuke asked.

"Nothing. Now get up and we'll begin your training."

"What? Why did you change your mind?"

"You said please. And from now on you will call me all-powerful Master Sifu Toph Sensei or I'll beat you to a pulp, got it?"

"hn."

Sasuke had no idea what he was getting himself into.

A rock the size of an apple hit his shoulder, making him fall off of the tightrope and into the water. "Your balance sucks, you don't listen to your ears and you've got no sensory perception at all. Did you ever use any of your other senses before going blind? Get up and do it again, gloomy." Toph ordered. "Did you hear me?"

"Loud and clear Toph." Sasuke grumbled.

"I told you to call me 'All-powerful Master Sifu Toph Sensei!" Toph yelled, stomping her foot. A column of earth sprung up beneath Sasuke and flung him in the air. Once he landed in a heap at her feet Toph snickered, "But I guess if that's too hard to remember, then I'll just have to make it longer. Call me 'All-powerful Blind Bandit Master Melon Lord Sifu Toph Sensei the Greatest Earth Bender Alive' in that order, or I'll make you wish you never were born." Sasuke gulped.

Author's Note:

I thought of this on the way to therapy when I saw a blind man bump into someone. It made me wonder how Sasuke would act if he were blind. He'd have to learn to deal with it without someone coddling him like Sakura. It was really funny to think of Sasuke walking around Konoha bumping into walls and people, while Sakura chased after him worriedly.
