Chapter 2
Sasuke Uchiha opened his eyes staring up at the wood work of a household that was once filled with laughter, and happiness. Sitting up from his bedding on the floor, the young Uchiha combed a pale hand through his spiky, raven colored hair, before fully standing in what was once a dining room. The household that held so much joy and pride was now barren, all except for a small wooden table that laid atop a bamboo flooring, reflecting the moon light, coating the very home in a surreal, but pleasant blue light.
Clenching his fists tightly, Sasuke found himself reflecting on why he choose to remain in the Uchiha compound, why he choose to wake up in pain from the sheer weight of failing to protect those precious to him. Black eyes stared down at a now opened pale palm, the young Uchiha glared down at his open hand, feeling nothing but disgust and sickness, towards himself.
"I'm weak, I so weak! These hands, this power, it can't protect anything or anyone…..yet I still stay. I remember what you said that night, the night that's a lot like this one, a full moon, and a cold chill. I stay here, Itachi, and every time I awake, I grow to hate you more for what you took away, mark my words, when next we meet I will be strong enough to protect those precious to me. I will be strong enough, I will kill you!" He whispered harshly at the very essence of night, hoping for his words to be carried along with the cool rolling winds.
Taking a calming breath, the raven haired child made his way out of his old home, entering the world illuminated by the pale moon, and twinkling stars, a world where he felt lost in the darkness but with no guide to lead him back to light, the darkness of his hate was where the prodigy of the leaf stayed.
The raven haired child watched as his breath heated the piercing cold air, but it never bothered him, it was a nice wake up call. Stretching out his stiff limbs, Sasuke left to the hot springs that resided near the Uchiha household, hating the early morning already.
Dirt and stone crunched beneath his feet, as his black eyes focused on the trail leading into the village, and to the Academy, dressed in his usual attire. Stopping for a moment, Sasuke looked up at a crow flying overhead, while purple streaks of night intertwine with the blue morning sky. A sight that even he quietly acknowledged as beautiful, and as one of the very few things he liked. The young Uchiha turned his attention back to the ominous crow, which flew back into the emerald trees of the Leaf village's forest, as a cold chill coaxed the trees and grass to dance. With narrowed eyes, he couldn't help but feel that times were changing, that something was beyond the horizon, and still impossible to make out, even to his own eyes.
Sticking pale hands within the warm confines of his white pockets, Sasuke continued down the trail, relishing in the soft breeze, and the fragrance of flowers, and the very forest of the village, of his home. Finally entering the dirt streets of Konohagkure, the young prodigy ignored the prideful and admiring stares of the villagers he walked past, to him, they were only distractions and ignorant people who cherished him for the wrong reasons. However, his best friend had promised something during a sparring session, closing his eyes while still continuing his walk, Sasuke recalled the promise 'I will protect my home and all in it with all that I am!'
Chucking, Sasuke allowed a soft smile to grace his features at the memory of the knucklehead blond he knew as his best friend.
"Looks like you rubbed off on me….Naruto, so like you, I will protect my home, and those who are precious to me" Sasuke said in a hushed whisper.
Suddenly the faint cry of said friend was heard from across the village, and what the young Uchiha could make out from it; it sounded like it had something to do with morning. Allowing another soft laugh to escape his lips, Sasuke continued down his path to the Academy, and with every step he came closer to becoming a full-fledged ninja, and another step closer to achieving a dream that would be made into reality.
'Today today is the day I become a ninja!' he thought while a fire coursed through him, and with the arc gate insight, and the back of his best friend who was racing towards the door.
