Chapter 1- Sasuke Uchiha
Sasuke Uchiha trudged slowly through a small ninja village, grumbling. The 16-year-old ninja was soaked to the bone from the fierce rainstorm that had been going for hours. His black hair stuck to his handsome face while onyx eyes searched the windows of the houses nearby. No one walked the streets. A door here and there hung off its hinges and some of the windows were broken.
This wasn't anything new to Sasuke. He had seen many other villages like this one while he searched for his brother, Itachi. Sasuke hadn't known anyone else besides his family because he had grown up on the Uchiha clan manor. It was in the middle of a very, very, very large forest. Literally. Sasuke had explored that area when he was younger and had never reached the edge of the forest. Until his family died.
Flashback
Five-year-old Sasuke was practicing concentrating his chakra in one of the many gardens on the manor. He had finally managed to run to the top of a tree by putting all his chakra in the bottom of his feet. The young boy balanced there, panting from exhaustion, admiring the crimson-red sunset. He heard a scream come from the house. Another and another and yet another followed.
"Mom! Dad! Brother!" Sasuke shouted as he sprinted towards the house. When he darted inside he had to avoid stepping on the corps of his distant relatives. He stopped dead when he reached his close family's living room. In the middle of the dark room lay his mother and father soaked in their own blood. Itachi was standing over them with a blood-soaked kunai raised in his right hand.
"B-brother?" young Sasuke asked quietly.
"We will meet again someday," Itachi said, disappearing in a puff of smoke.
Sasuke sat next to his parent's bodies, crying until he could no more. Itachi was the only one to have ever made him cry.
(I don't actually know how Sasuke's parents died exactly so don't rely on what I wrote.)
End Flashback
Sasuke sighed. 'Why did he have to kill so many people? He's even killing whole villages like this one just to please himself,' he thought, reaching the edge of the empty village.
He then jumped into the trees, searching for a particularly leaf-covered one that would at least partially protect him from the rain. There was no way he would spend the night in a village he figured was full of dead bodies, which it was.
Sasuke finally settled on a large cherry tree, full of cherry blossoms. 'Sakura flowers…' Sasuke thought, feeling calmer than he had in a long time.
Eventually he got hungry and pulled out half a rice ball, the remaining supplies from the last village he had stopped in that, amazingly, hadn't been destroyed.
'That was over two weeks ago,' Sasuke commented to himself. The villages were getting farther and farther apart as he traveled farther north.
'I might even be able to make it all the way to Konoha tomorrow if I keep up the same pace. I doubt Itachi's there, but they might have heard something.' Sasuke thought.
As the sun sank lower and lower in the sky the storm lessened until it stopped completely. Sasuke jumped up into one of the higher branches that were facing the sunset. He stayed there to sleep seeing as the ground was still soaked. There was also less chance of an ambush if he was harder to be seen.
