Welcome to my extremely short, first Naruto fanfic. Feel free to leave me any comments/suggestions in a review. I will be uploading a semi-sequel to this called "Itachi Watches" followed (hopefully) by another one called "Sasuke Watches." Thanks for reading!!!

Title: Mother Watches

Series/Setting: Naruto. This takes place after the slaughter of the Uchiha clan and is from the general perspective of Sasuke and Itachi's mother as she watches her children through the years.

She watches from above with her husband. The sight that greets their eyes is enough to make any parent weep.

She could have accepted the fact that they failed with one, but she thought the younger could have been saved.

He was such a good boy, he was her golden child. While he may not have been as strong as his older brother, he was her legacy, her child.

She didn't know why her husband preferred the older, but she made sure to provide the forgotten child with all that she could give him.

How it hurt her to see him fall from grace.

Why must things happen as they did? Why couldn't she and her husband have been strong enough to save themselves from the cold hearted stare.

But they weren't strong enough. And now not only did she watch one child flirt with darkness, she saw the other sell his soul to the devil.

An entire family destroyed by one pair of eyes. Those eyes...they would haunt her forever. Such a weapon. Why couldn't it have been used to protect, instead of destroy?

Sasuke was given that option. He could have chosen a different path. He had seen his brother's fall, but instead of learning from it, he was blinded by his anger.

But how could one be blind with such powerful eyes?

Yet she could not help show them the way. So she and her husband watched and prayed.

They watched a sight that would make any parents weep. They watched the destruction of their family.


Thanks to those of you who read this and a special thanks to those of you who decide to review. Feel free to let me know what you thought about it (any criticisms or suggestions)…I'm not that picky when it comes to reviews.

Very special thanks to my unwilling Beta (aka my sister). I owe you one!
