After a lot of thought, I decided to post this, for all those who felt gypped when it came to the ending of "Two Sides of the Same Coin".

I hope everyone enjoys this!

The Adventures and Perils of Sasuke and Sasuke-chan

"They are virtually identical, Sandaime-sama," a medical ninja explained, as the Hokage stood over the twin hospital beds that held not one, but two Sasukes. "Last night, we found the boy amidst the carnage in the Uchiha Compound, but this morning, there were two boys in the bed. The only thing I could find even slightly different about them is their stress level. While both of them are under a great deal of stress, one of them is through the roof, as if something dreadful has occurred very recently. That one might wake up screaming or something, so I decided to try and keep him relaxed by injecting a mild sedative, not to keep him asleep, just to keep him from having a mental breakdown."

"I will have to give them separate records and they will have to have different names, but until they awaken—"

One of the heart monitors began speeding up, signaling that the boy connected to it was awakening.

"Which one is this one?"

"This one is the one without any sedation. I was thinking he would wake first."

The first Sasuke sat up, blinking a little before he realized who was standing in front of him. He bowed a little in respect. "Hokage-sama."

"Uchiha Sasuke, how are you feeling?"

"All right, I guess…"

"Something terrible must've happened to you last night, but I won't ask for details at this moment in time. Just that now you seemed to have split into two separate bodies."

Sasuke's eyes widened before he followed the Hokage's eyes to the other bed. "There's two of me…I have a twin now?"

"Yes. While you seem normal, this other Sasuke might be a little more unstable because something more must've happened to him last night in addition to what already had transpired."

The other heart monitor began speeding up as well, but much faster, and kept going until the second Sasuke woke up, screaming like he was being tortured. His eyes were lit up in Sharingan, but a Sharingan that not even the Hokage had seen in his entire life. He clutched his head and shook it, before, just as suddenly as he'd woken, his body relaxed and his eyes turned to their normal black. He gasped a little from his shrieking, but his face was calmer than even his twin's. A contented smile came to his lips even if his body was trembling a little still.

"Are you all right, son?" the Sandaime asked, concerned for the boy's mental stability.

Their eyes met and the eight-year-old nodded. "I'm okay, Hokage-sama…" He mouthed something before hugging himself a little. "I already miss him…"

The first Sasuke blinked in confusion. "Who?"

The two faced each other for the first time and the second Sasuke tilted his head a little. "Who are you? Are you an illusion, or a transformation?"

The Sandaime Hokage shook his head and laid his wrinkled hand on the boy's head. "This is a technique even I don't know about. But instead of one Sasuke, there are two. Each of you is real and individual, even if you look exactly alike and have the same latent abilities. Now, for you, who have awoken second, you need a new name. You cannot have the exact same name, even though you'll probably answer to the same name for a while. Since you seem a little on the shy side, your name will be Ryo."

The newly-dubbed "Ryo" nodded, fidgeting a little. He knew that his gentle, loving elder brother had fooled his new twin because of his rather broken expression, yet he'd promised, with the trade of having his painful ocular technique silenced until he had enough chakra to sustain it, was his silence on the subject. He wouldn't say a thing or else things might not work for the better for his twin, even if it might lead to more pain.

"You both seem troubled, it must be because of the incident that occurred last night. The exact details are not known, but you seem to have different views on the outcome. You might've experienced something after you were split in two."

Ryo averted his eyes while Sasuke shook his head.

"I won't force it out of you, since you aren't ninjas yet, but should something come of it, I'll require a full report on my desk."

Both boys nodded, before the Sandaime turned to Ryo. "Ryo-san, you'll have to change your style of dress so that you don't look exactly like your twin. What would you like to have as your new wardrobe? I'll have one of the nurses deliver it to you this afternoon."

"Um…I've always wanted to try the color baby blue for my short-sleeved shirt, and…pure white shorts…"

"Anything else?"

"I…always thought they were too girly, but…a plain chain necklace with a pendant that's the Uchiha symbol…"

"That should suit you. I'll place the order right away and you'll be walking out of the hospital with your new clothes soon."

"Thank you very much, Hokage-sama."

The old man exited the room, before Sasuke turned to his new twin. "How did you get Sharingan like that?"

Ryo fidgeted, shaking his head. "I don't have it anymore."

"Liar. I know your facial expressions because they're mine. Did Nii-san do it to you?"

"No."

"Then who did?"

"I can't tell you."

"Why?"

"I promised."

"Promised who?"

"I can't tell you."

Sasuke growled a little before slumping and falling back onto his pillow. "You're as stubborn as I am, so it must've happened when we were separated last night. It has to be really important if you promised whoever did it to you that you wouldn't tell. You seem more at peace than I feel. Why are you calm while I'm boiling with confusion, hatred, anger and sadness? How can you be when Nii-san slaughtered everyone in the clan, including Tou-san and Ka-san?! HOW?!"

Ryo opened his mouth, before shaking his head. "I can't tell you. Just know that…I can't tell you that either… I'll probably be able to tell you in due time, Sasuke. For now, you cannot know anything I found out last night when I came into existence."

Sasuke scoffed, "This has blackmail written all over it. You're keeping silent or else something'll gonna happen to you. Admit it."

"Yes Sasuke, that much I can tell you."

They were silent until the nurse came in with Ryo's new outfit, the boy hopping out of bed and taking it. He went to the bathroom and got dressed, taming his hair so it spiked more gracefully, before meeting his brother just outside the hospital room. They didn't say a thing as they walked out, heading to the Uchiha Compound. While Sasuke mourned the lost people, Ryo found happy memories in the untouched spots.

"Do you remember when we stopped and looked at the dandelions along this fence when we went out shopping with Nii-san? That wonder I felt at seeing such beautiful yellow flowers even though they were common weeds is a precious memory to me. Back when things were simple, even if we're only eight years old. With one night, our maturity has raised to that of an adult because of Nii-san."

He ran along the bloodstained streets as if nothing had changed, smiling like the child he was. "I remember when we injured our ankle trying to copy a kunai move Nii-san had mastered and he carried us home. I felt such warmth being so close to Nii-san—"

"SHUT UP, SHUT UP!" Sasuke screamed. "ARE YOU BLIND?! BECAUSE OF THAT…THAT BASTARD! ALL OF OUR PRECIOUS MEMORIES WITH HIM ARE PAINFUL! THE FEELINGS OF HAPPINESS, WONDER AND WARMTH ARE WORTHLESS COMPARED TO GETTING REVENGE FOR OUR CLAN! FOR TOU-SAN AND KA-SAN! WE HAVE TO HATE NII-SAN FOR EVERYTHING HE'S DONE! OR ELSE WE WILL NEVER BE STRONG ENOUGH!"

Silence.

"Sasuke, you might feel the need to avenge our clan, but I can't. The path of revenge is something you'll have to walk alone."

Ryo turned and headed out of the compound, Sasuke staring after him, confused by his sage-like words.

So already the two differ from each other... What could Ryo have been told that could've changed his perspective so drastically?

All that will be answered in later chapters, of course!
