Yamia: Yo minna-san! Back with another Naruto ficcy. I'm taking a way different approach from my usual way of writing fics with this one. But enough of my blathering, on with the fic!

Warnings!:Yes, I include warnings now. Lulz. Anyway, AU, eventual yaoi, spoilers for the manga up to chapter….372….I think. Lol. So yeah, if you don't want to spoil yourself or you don't like yaoi or cussing, you're reading the wrong fanfic. :3

Oh, and because I can't add another genre, this is romance, angst, and humor.

Disclaimer:I, in no way, shape, or form, own Naruto. I think I own the seven deadly sins because everyone has one or two of those sins…right?

Through the Eyes of a Sinner

(Naruto's take on Sasuke's Seven Deadly Sins)

Chapter 1:Pride-Handful of Memories

--

Everyone has pride. The Hyuugas have their pride(even if it is a little messed up), Rock Lee has his, and me. Uzumaki Naruto. I have pride in myself and in this village. But Sasuke…that guy is a little different. He keeps talking about "the Pride of the Uchiha's", but…I don't think he even knows what that means himself.

Okay, it all started after Kakashi-sensei bailed on us for something or other. Sakura-chan had left to go help her mother with something, so it was just me and Sasuke. Uchiha Sasuke…the same duck-butt haired teme who dragged his sorry ass back to Konoha after four years with Orochimaru. Why did he suddenly come back? He didn't tell me. He just said: "I found out the truth.". He only said it to me, no one else. All I could do was stare at him while he walked away with Tsunade-baa-san.

It was the last time I saw him for months, cause he was sentenced to house arrest and constant surveillance by ANBU for six months. No one could go to see him except for Tsunade and Kakashi-sensei. And let me tell you, I tried so many times to sneak past those ANBU and go see Sasuke. But I was caught every time. But every time I made it to that window, I saw a tired face stare back at me, but with eyes full of pride.

A couple of weeks after Sasuke's house arrest, the day Kakashi-sensei bailed on us, I asked the teme about that. I asked him why he still had that look in his eyes, that same look he had when me and him used to spar when we were twelve. I asked him why he has such prideful eyes when the rest of him looked so defeated. And as usual, he gave me his standard teme-remark.

"Hn. Why were you observing my eyes so much dobe? Do you like me or something?"

At that point, I told him to shut the fuck up and don't answer my question with another fucking question. Stupid teme.

Sasuke had lost his smirk then. But his eyes didn't loose that prideful look. I thought I was finally going to get a straight answer out of him, instead he punched me. The bastard punched me. Well…almost. I blocked it fast enough so it didn't break my nose. I was about to tell the bastard off when he started speaking.

"The reason I have these prideful eyes…is for Itachi…"

Itachi? Uchiha Itachi? Sasuke's older brother? I thought they hated each other…

"You mean your older brother? I thought you two-"

"Hated each other I know…"Sasuke interrupted. "But…there was more than meets the eye with him…" Sasuke lowered his fist from my face. I guess I can let him off the hook for that punch. It looked like he wanted to hit something really bad. And I was his closet target.

"More than meets the eye? What do you mean, that Itachi was some sort of secret agent?" I asked. I know it sounded silly, but that's what I really thought Sasuke meant.

Sasuke blinked a little and sighed heavily.

"Somewhat…Naruto. But he…he told me the truth about our clan, through these eyes."

I was about to question what he meant by that, when he activated his Sharingan. But, they looked different. Those eyes looked exactly like Itachi's and Kakashi-sensei's. But I thought you had to kill your best friend to acquire that level of Sharingan. But...did Sasuke find a new best friend while he was gone. Sasuke looked like he saw my question in my eyes, so he smirked again.

"Don't worry Naruto. I didn't replace you with another best friend." The relief on my face must of have been obvious, cause he 'hn-ed' and said…he killed someone else to get this.

"Sasuke…you killed Itachi?" I asked. He did it! He finally avenged his clan!

"Yes but…I didn't know…" Sasuke muttered.

"Know what? That truth he showed you?"

"Yes. Before he died, he used some sort of transfer jutsu and gave me his Magenkyo Sharingan. He fell to the ground, dead, and I followed soon after. As soon as I closed my eyes, images from his Sharingan came into my mind…" Sasuke shivered. It was obvious he was remembering everything he saw that day. Was it really that horrible?

"Sasuke…what did you see?" I had to know. I had to take some of that burden off of Sasuke. That's what best friends do, right?

"Naruto…it was the originator of my clan, Uchiha Madara, who set Kyuubi lose on Konoha…"

Time seemed to stop when he told me that. The originator of his clan? But how was that possible? That attack happened when I was a baby. Madara-san existed years before that. I was going to make him tell me more, when I noticed him scratching his left arm. That was his nervous tick. What was he nervous about…

"Sasuke…do you think I'm mad at you?"

He gave the tiniest nod yes and continued scratching at his arm. It was a good thing that was distracting him, cause I'm sure he would've beaten me senseless and ended up in jail for what I did next. I hugged him. That's right, I hugged the bastard, you wanna fight about it? Sasuke needed this, and weirdly and unfortunately enough, I was the only one there. I felt like I needed this too. I felt like crying. I don't know why, but I did. So maybe starting this hug was a good thing.

I was just about to pull away, cause maybe Sasuke was feeling awkward, when I felt his arms wrap around me. Yeah, it was a good thing I started that hug, cause we both needed it. He and I let go of our prides for this. It meant a lot.

After a minute, Sasuke pulled away and started heading home. I didn't get angry that he didn't say goodbye or anything. He was probably going to reflect on today the way he always does, by himself, in silence.

It was just his stubborn Uchiha pride getting in the way.

Thank goodness for it.

Although, he's still a fucking bastard for not even waving goodbye.
