He was born alone. No father to guide him. No brother to play with. He would cry.

Disclaimerish type thingy! I do not own Naruto no matter how much I want to cause I am not that damn artistic.
"Okay kids! I am your teacher and my name is Iruka. It is your first day at the academy so the first thing we will learn is each others names! I haven't got them in alphabetical order yet, but when I call your last name, I want you to stand up in your place and say your first name. The first name I have is … Nara?"
"Already? How troublesome. My name is Shikamaru."
"Thanks Shikamaru, okay Hyuuga?"
"Um … hel-hello …My name is Hinata."
"Thank you Hinata. Uchiha?"
"What are you serious? We have an Uchiha in our class? Look he is standing up! Wonder what his name is?"
"My name is Sasuke."
"Hello Sasuke. Now …"
"The kids name is Sasuke and he is an Uchiha!"
"Thank you Ino. Uzumaki?"
"That's me! I'm Naruto!"
"Hello there Naruto. Okay so …"
"If he's an Uchiha, he has got to be amazing!"
"He looks like a normal kid to me."
"Well who cares about what you think Naruto?!"
"Sorry, but through my eyes, he looks like a normal kid."
Normal? That boy thinks I look normal? I'm not. Normal kids have a dad who talks to you about stuff. If they have a brother, that brother will play with them and help them out. I am not a normal kid like you are … Naruto.
"Thank you Chouji. Now that is every one. Oh! There goes the bell for lunch. Out you go children."
"Thanks Iruka-sensei!"
"Hey! We are one person down to play ninja's with! Who should we ask?"
"I know! We could ask Sasuke! He is sitting over there all by himself."
"Are you crazy Naruto?! He's an Uchiha! He would never sully himself playing a pathetic game like ninja's!"
I thought so … they are scared of playing with me. Yeah I may be an Uchiha and Itachi's little brother, but I am not Itachi! I wouldn't mind being asked if I wanted to play ninja's.
"Okay. How about I don't play? That will make the teams even."
"… Okay, but only because you suggested it."
"Hey! Sasuke! You want to play tag?"
"Uh … what makes you think I want to play tag?"
"Well I suppose if you asked them, the guys would be more than happy to let you play ninja's with them."
"Why? Why aren't you afraid of the Uchiha name like every body else? Why aren't you afraid that I'll be just like Itachi and not want to play any games?"
"Well … mainly … I don't care. You are Sasuke, not Itachi. Even if you were his twin, you wouldn't be your brother. You would be you. I know the Uchiha's are a really strong clan and all, but I don't care. Does strength determine who you are and what you should do? Does strength determine who is allowed to like you and who is allowed to be your friend? In my opinion it shouldn't."
Thank you Naruto. Even though, it will never show, I am unbelievably grateful.
"Humph. Why wouldn't I want to be just like Itachi? He is one of the strongest ninja around! You don't even exist in comparison to him!"
"Well sorry for trying to care about you! You spoiled brat!"
Even though it meant the world to Sasuke, he would never show it until the day when he left Konoha, and when Naruto caught up with him, he tried to kill his best friend. Sasuke went to Orochimaru for power to kill his elder brother. His elder brother Itachi, who slayed the entire Uchiha clan just to test his power.
Second chapter is up! The next one (if I can be stuffed to do it) will be about a possible meeting with Sakura.
Until then,
Manganime Lover, signing out.
