Uchiha Sasuke has admittedly done some stupid crap in the past. At times he himself, had no idea why he did it. He liked to say that it was his clans curse of hatred or Orochimarus cursed heaven seal. But he couldn't help but think if there was more to his mistakes. Like how he never saw the signs of his clans withdrawal. Or Itachis growing anger with their family now that he thought about it. It was all so obvious to him now. But the biggest one was how he took an angel for granted. How he couldn't see what was right in front of him.

Sasuke didn't know why he had done so much crap in his past, most of it recent. But, there was nothing he could do about it. Not now, not when all was said and done. It literally took a war for him to realize it. He was so stupid, but she gave him another chance. To right all his wrongs before he did them. A chance to save his clan, his brother and himself before they had their downfall. She saved him once again.

She was dead now though, his own personal savior. In her own last moments he learned a lot about her. Secrets she admitted, her real dreams and hopes. She gave him a chance to fix it all before any of it happened. He had his own goals to do along with it. His clan for starters, gosh if he fixed that he could see so much stuff being prevented. It would be hard, he knew but he knew he could do it. Because she had faith in him.

Uchiha Sasuke would fix everything. But what he had to fix most was who had fixed it all before. He would save the one who saved him. He would save her from her own downfall. Sasuke will save Naruto, weather she wanted him to or not. It was the least she could do when she saved the world. He would gladly help the one who he learned so much through. He would save the one he learned to love.

Because he couldn't do any of it without the one who saved him, the one he fell in love with, Uzumaki Naruto.

Uchiha Mikoto smiled as her son walked through the park. Itachi was coming home from a mission and they were going to pick him up. Sasuke was so smart, their family learned. He loved going to the park, she never really understood it though. Yes, kids loved to play but Sasuke never played he just watched. It was like he as waiting for something.

The clan has been under a lot of stress lately, and it only seemed to build. The village, that the clan loved, started to fear them. Isolate, ignore and gossip. It hurt but she couldn't think of anything to fix it. They weren't bad people. Nobody was giving them a chance. The Hyuuga clan, who they were already on tight quarters with, withdrew their alliance and treaties. Apparently it was bad publicity to be seen close with the clan when they were falling.

The council was getting more and more stressed, desperate. She had a feeling that it was only the beginning though. She herself was getting scared. The Uchihas were only wanting somebody to give them a chance. Yes, they made mistakes but everybody had and they're only human. The council was trying so hard to gain allies but none would listen. They were resorting to telling their children to make friends. They never did that. But they knew that their past mistake could be their last. They had no way of fixing it and they didn't know what to do. The Hokage was just as clueless, there just wasn't any trust there.

Itachi has been trying hard, harder than some other adults in the clan. He has made personal friends, but they weren't enough. She knew that he was blaming himself and the clans strictness wasn't helping whatsoever. Mikoto turned to look at the other bench at the park. There were some other mothers that were glancing at her. Great, now they were gossiping.

She turned to Sasuke. She frowned in concern. Sasuke was only four and he knew that something was going on. He was such a good kid, smart and loyal. He loved the village so much, more than the clan and he had the pride of the clan as much as any other member. The clan saw all of that. So they were placing a lot of their faith in him.

He was the same age as the heirs to most of the other clans. It happened a lot actually, the bigger clans would have the heirs around the same time as the others. It was actually to build the relationships with each clan and furthermore the village. And this year there was the most heirs in years. Sasuke being one of them, so if he made friends with them than it would help. A lot.

None of them liked it though. It was times like this when the Uchiha clan really missed the fourth Hokage. That was when the clan was in the best shape, the trust with Namikaze Minato. The villages leaders and one of the best men that they have seen. But with the Kyuubi attack brought his downfall and what could be presumed as the clans. She really missed them personally, them being her and Fagukus best friends.

She fell out of her musings when she saw Sasuke talking to the other kids. He seemed slightly uncomfortable but was easing into the game of tag the other kids were playing. She turned to the mothers to see their reaction. She was rewarded by them smiling at her. She was about to wave but stopped when they went back to talking. She looked down dejectedly, what were they going to do? She looked up when she saw a shadow.

"Hello." She greeted warmly, one of the other mothers who she recognized as Nara Yoshino. That was actually one of the hardest things, being turned away from the people they called their friends at one point.

Yoshino smiled, knowing what Mikoto was feeling. The tri-clan, the term that the village often called the InoShikaCho trio, made a really hard decision recently. The Hyuuga didn't appreciate that they wanted to remake their ties to the Uchiha clan so they withdrew from their own alliance. The tri-clan didn't know what to do at the time. It was obvious that the public wasn't fond of the Uchihas at the moment and they didn't know if it was worth the risk to be honest. The Uchihas were nice people, but they didn't have the best reputation.

So they decided that, for the first time, that they would go with their gut even if their logic didn't agree. It was quite a shock, especially for the Nara since they didn't do anything without thinking it through. Some disagreed, but they weren't the head of the clan. And they missed their friends in the Uchihas, they all agreed on that.

And how can they turn it down when little Sasuke got their three kids to get along. Sasuke got Shikamaru to get out of his laziness, no matter how short of a time it may be. So they took a chance.

"Hello Mikoto, would you like to join us?" Yoshino asked. She felt bad, like the rest of the clans. It was just stressful on the rest of the village after the Kyuubi attack and they didn't know what to do. She just hoped that her old friend would forgive her.

Mikoto smiled warmly and nodded. "I would love to." They stood up and went over to the other bench by the other moms. It was a nice change.

Sasuke sighed as he walked through the park. He's been coming here a lot lately. He was hoping to see Naruto but he hasn't seen her at all and he was starting to worry. Four years, four years since Naruto sent him back. It was hard seeing his family again but he had to admit that it was nice. Knowing that they were here to stay this time around. He was surprised at what a little snooping could do. What he could find out when he wasn't throwing all his attention to his brother this time around. He already knew that Itachi was the best brother in the world.

He sighed quietly as he scoped the park again, no Naruto. Again, he hated not seeing her. He would get to the park and wait than eventually do what Naruto sent him to do. Fix things, they had decided that his clan would be the best place to start when he went back. He hated seeing the pain in his families eyes when he was actually paying attention. So he would end the day with getting the other kids to play together. It was nice seeing the relief, flow, through his fathers eyes when his mother would tell him that Sasuke would play with the other kids. It was small but it was progress.

That was why, when he stopped to catch his breath he actually cried when he saw his mother go with the other parents. He saw the greatful look his mother sent him, like she wanted him to understand that he was helping without telling him. He was only four after all. So he just waved and smiled brightly making her laugh. He missed this and it was nice seeing her smile like that.

Sasuke went back to the game of tag that was coincidently with a lot of the old rookie nine. He found that they were actually kind of nice when he gave them a chance. It was hard, getting out of habits but it was what he promised Naruto. He found that he and Shikamaru actually got along really well. Shikamaru and Choji were still 'best friends' but they were close. The hardest to see again was Sakura, as hard as it was to say. He realized in his 'past' life that he put her through a lot of crap. He just hoped that he wouldn't break down when he saw Naruto.

Naruto cried as she ran from the mob. They seemed to get bolder, not even waiting until dark to do their little hunts. But still, nobody would do anything to help her. She could dry, scream kick and hope as much as she wanted but it would never do anything.

It wasn't until that night that she learned why it all happened to her. Why she was hated, beaten and cursed upon. She apparently housed the Kyuubi. The demon fox that attacked her village the same night she was born. She didn't get why the village thought that she was the fox though. She read the fuinjutsu books in Jijis library and it was the same thing with a scroll and a kunai. It hurt to know the truth but she was glad that she knew.

It wasn't until she got to a four way stop, on her way home when something felt off. Most of her life felt off to be honest since she knew that it wasn't normal to get beaten daily. But this was really off. She was scared at what she saw, people always treated her badly. She was used to it, but nobody looked at her like that.

Naruto being honestly scared since a while ran back to her apartment. Because she didn't understand why a little boy, around her age, would look at her with something other than hate.

It was getting dark when the three Uchihas decided to head home. They were able to pick Itachi up at the gate while his team would report for him. They were conversing happily. Mikoto talking to Itahci about the progress she made. How she was invited, along with her family for dinner with the Akimichis the following day. Itachi was ecstatic, it really was great news. It was hard being 10 (correct me if I'm wrong about his age) and understanding what his clan may be headed.

Mikoto was turned in surprise when Sasukes hand slipped through her bigger one. Itachi stopped alongside his mother and watched in curiosity at why his little brother had stopped. Sasuke was just looking in an ally, his back was to them so he couldn't see his face.

Sasuke was gladly holding his mothers hand when he heard it, something getting knocked over in the ally across the shop they were walking past. He normally would look past it but he heard the sound of soft cursing. So imagine his surprise when he saw her, Naruto. The one person that he's been wanting to see ever since he was 'born.'

He felt his little heart pounding in his ears, fear when he saw the state she was in. She was covered in blood and still healing. He remembered how fast she healed with the Kyuubi. But, she was still healing. He knew that she got beat when she was younger and was not happy when he found out. But, they were this bad?

He took a slight step forward when he saw the look in her eyes and he never felt this bad. Not when his clan was massacred, not when he found out he was in love with the blond but decided his path of being an avenger. Not even when he learned the truth of his clan. He never expected Naruto to ever look at him with such fear in her eyes.

He felt his heart getting crushed when she turned and ran. Away from him. In fear. "No, Naruto." He whispered to himself. He knew it was bad and that she was hiding her true self but if she ran away when he saw her. It was worse than he thought.

Mikoto looked in the ally in son was dazed in and saddened when she saw Naruto run away. The council forbade any chunin and above to stay away from her which unfortunately included her and Faguku along with most of the other clans. If they would even want to see her. But she had, she and Faguku were so close to adopting their best friends child when they were turned down. She turned sadly to Sasuke and stepped back in shock.

Sasuke's eyes were the most expressive she had ever seen. They were filled with so much sadness, anger but what really got her was the love she saw in them. She didn't know it but she would be further shocked when two words came out of her sons mouth. She barely heard them but only with her ninja experience she was able to detect it. "No, Naruto."

Itachi watched it all with confusion but snapped the other two out of it when he called for his mom. Sasuke was oddly quiet on the walk home as was his mother. He didn't say anything on the way home. When they got there Sasuke went straight to bed and he could have swore he heard muffled sobs coming from his beloved otoutos room.

So that's the first chapter. I don't know when I'll put this on here, I was just bored and started another story. :|

Anyway I don't know how far I'll go with it but I hope you liked it. If you know Itachis promotion ages I would love to hear from you. I know that the Uchihas are a little ooc but I can't blame them in the situation. I know that I am making it a fairly easy fix but in my opinion it wouldn't have been that hard. I think that this will be more of a friendship/ romance fic. It will be non- massacre in case you couldn't tell.

This will also be mainly in Sasukes POV I think. The writing won't really focus on how he fixed it more like what he would do with the new chance without making the same mistakes. If that makes sense.

But, yeah…
