Ninja University
Written by Akimoto Kikkawa.
So I decided to write this down and I sure you guys will be crying by how touching this chapter is. Chapter 3 will be in the view of Sakura Haruno.
Rated M for Mature: Lemmon (Not this chapter sorry kiddies :3) Use of Tobacco, Alcohol, strong language.
Chapter 2.
The young male sighed as he placed his fingers through his raven colored hair. His brown emotionless eyes scanned the hallways of the male's dorm east wing second floor. He was sure he felt the presences of a very familiar, unnerving presences.
"I must be kidding myself. No way is Orochimaru here. He should be at his own university in the Sound Nation. That is about a week's travel by foot five days by automobile." The young male whispered under his breath.
"A hot shower, nice meal, and a good night's rest is all I need, just those and only those three. Besides you saw it yourself, he was forbidden from trying to persuade anyone from joining Sound University last year at the graduation ceremony." He said, trying to prep talk himself into calming down, he steeled his nerves as he realized that the snake wasn't anywhere near him but just in his own subconscious eating away like paranoia.
"Alright I just need to find my room." The male said to himself as he pulled out a post-it-note out of his pocket. Looking at it he sighed again as he saw just how much the blond was annoyed by her work as a rude sloppy scribble of a room number and dorm location was on it, followed by a very lewd message. Having little trouble reading the chicken scratch he found that his room was number sixty one the first door at the end of the hall.
"Sasuke-Kun. Sasuke-Kun." There was that sinister voice again. That voice alone would've drove Sasuke to insanity, that man caused nothing but pain for him.
Sasuke whipped around almost as fast as he had seen Naruto down a bowl of Ichiraku ramen. His forehead was damped with sweat as he swore he saw a white snake come sliding down the corridor. Its yellow lifeless eyes seemed to stare right into Sasuke's own panicking brown orbs.
"Sasuke-Kun…you know this is can all be over, if you just use your brain, and come to Sound University. Keeh-he-he-he! I can make sure you train well and kill your brother Itachi." The snake cooed as it swayed back and forth, trying to draw the Uchiha into a false sense of security.
"Orochimaru isn't here…you're just my fear. My fear of going down the path my brother walks. You aren't real! You're not real!" Sasuke shouted as he punched the white snake in the face. His eyes began to change form panicking brown to a blood lust red with a black pupil surrounded by three tear drop pupils smaller that a dime but bigger than a needle.
"Damit Sasuke! Get a hold of yourself…Orochimaru is not here…you're an Uchiha! Not Akamaru! Speaking of dogs…I wonder if Kiba Inuzuki is here…knowing him he'd follow Hinata anywhere…" Sasuke said to himself as he calmed down, after realizing that the white snake was never there. As soon as the words Hinata left his mouth he could almost feel his heart skip a beat or two. Almost.
"So, we got an avenger among us. Been a while my student." A familiar and calming voice, just the sound of the voice was enough to bring the Uchiha out of his day dream of Hinata. Knowing full well who the voice belonged to the Uchiha smiled and turned around.
"So it seems Kakashi-Sensei. One full year." The Uchiha said as he greeted his old teacher/mentor with a friendly smile.
Kakashi Hatake smiled under his mask as he held up a hand. "Sasuke. I see you've arrived as well. Look as if the gang is all here. You, Sakura, and Naruto. Brings back old memories right?" Kakashi said as he stood up straight, he wore a blue mask that covered his chin to his nose, a headband that covered his left eye, a green heavy jacket, blue gloves, a grey undershirt and a pair of black jeans. His deep dark right eye was full of joy then the usual critical philosophical thinking that he normally had.
"What brings my old English professor to Leaf University? Are you the new teacher here? Or are you here because of something else?" Sasuke asked looking deep into his teacher's right eye.
"Well I'm not teaching anything big, just here with Might Guy to take over as the new mixed martial arts instructors." Kakashi said as he looked back at Sasuke.
"Kakashi…I have a favor to ask. Can you keep an eye out for any snakes?" Sasuke asked as he air quoted "snakes" knowing full well what he meant by it to Kakashi.
"Right I will best to head into your room. I'm sure Headmistress Lady Tsunade won't mind you skipping the boring speech she gives every year. Also I expect the three of you to attend next week's first practice. I'm sure Neji and Rock Lee will be there as well." Kakashi said before he just vanished into thin air.
As Sasuke entered his room he sighed in sweet bliss as he laid down on his bed. His roommate seemed to have already been here and left not leaving any sort of detail to what who he is. All Sasuke knew was that this person seemed to be very interested in leaving before anyone got here. Looking up at the ceiling Sasuke couldn't help but to being playing memories of his childhood.
"Sasuke-Kun! You heading off to the academy today? On your seventh birthday no less!"
"Yeah Aunty Sango! Is Uncle Yuki here?"
"Yeah my husband is here, in fact he was just talking about how Itachi graduated when he was only five from the academy! But I know you still attended because you want to learn everything!"
"Aunty Sango tell Uncle Yuki that Itachi is off from high school today and is needing to skip work today to help dad!"
"Alright Sasuke-Kun! Oh and when you get back I have a special cake ready just for you! Oh and make sure that Uzumaki boy doesn't know about your party! He's nothing but trouble!"
"Aunty Sango! Naruto isn't like that! He works twice as hard as us! Besides! He lost his father and mother to the Nine-Tails!"
"Oh I guess you're right. I just don't want what happened last year to happen again."
"Sasuke! Can you deliver this package to your brother when you get home?"
"Sure Uncle Yuki!"
At first Sasuke could only remember the voices and nothing else, but as soon as he closed his eyes he was able to see his Aunt Sango Uchiha and Uncle Yuki Uchiha smiling that day. Their brown hair and brown eyes shining in happiness that they were blessed with a Nephew like him. It was a Saturday, early spring when he went to school that day. He paid attention in class and even offered to help Naruto who was having trouble completing a simple math test. He was swarmed by the young girls all wanting to be with him when he entered the gym to play tag or to practice martial arts.
"Itachi! Hey Itachi can you help me master the Sharigan? And can you help me tomorrow practice my martial arts so I can teach Naruto? Big Brother please?"
"Alright, Sasuke come here please."
"Yes Itachi?"
"Sasuke." His older brother said as he held his hand up to his head. His emotions not showing as he moved his hand closer to his forehead. Suddenly he poked/jab/hit his brother.
"Ow! Itachi that's mean! All you do is just hit me and never help me! I want to be just like you big brother!" Sasuke cried as he rubbed his head.
"Sasuke there will be a day when you realize that there is a reason why I'm doing this to you. When that day comes, you will understand." Itachi said as he looked at his brother. Suddenly he smiled as he stood up and placed his sandals on. "Now! Let's head into town to pick up some vegetables for mom. I promise you that I'll buy you whatever kind of Ice cream you want on the way back."
"Really big brother? Can I have ice cream with sprinkles and chocolate chips too? Oh can I pick out ice cream for you too?"
"Sure Sasuke. I'd really do like the ice cream that you pick out for me. Last time you chose the green tea and honey flavored ice cream. That was really good. I can't wait to see what kind you pick for me today." Itachi said smiling while laughing as he placed his hand on Sasuke's head and began to mess it up.
"Okay! Itachi I'm making you get the vanilla chocolate strawberry banana split Sunday! And we can split it after dinner!" Sasuke said laughing at his own joke.
Itachi chuckled as he picked up his younger brother and placed him on his shoulder. "I guess you figured out how to master your older brother's jokes. I'm guessing Naruto Uzumaki helped you out as well?"
"Yep! Naruto is very cool! He isn't a monster like everyone thinks he is big brother! He gets picked on a lot at school. But Sasuke's there to rescue Naruto from danger. I and he are like brothers! Hey Itachi! How about Naruto becomes your younger brother! Then the three of us can always get ice cream and have fun!" Sasuke said as he was lifted onto Itachi's shoulders.
"I'm sure that Naruto will love that!" Itachi said as he began to walk through town with Sasuke.
"I like running!" Itachi sang
"I like playing." Sasuke sang
"I like fighting." Sang Itachi. His voice sounded like his brother's but deeper and more of a jazz singer.
"And I like helping!" Sasuke sang, his voice was full of glee and innocence.
"These are just a few of our favorite things!" The both sang as the continued down the path to the market.
"I like family" –Sasuke
"I like friends" – Itachi
"I like snakes"_- Sasuke
"And I like crows!"- Itachi
"These are just a few of things we like!" They both sang even louder smiling and laughing.
"I like Itachi!" Sasuke sang as he held his brother's shoulders while pulling a picture he drew of his brother in class.
"And I like Sasuke." Itachi sang as well while he took the picture and handed his younger brother a locket with their family symbol on it.
"I like this Locket" –Sasuke
"And I like this drawing!" –Itachi
"These are just some of the things we love!" The both sang.
They continued their song all the way to the market in which Sasuke and Itachi both brought the vegetables that their mother needed for dinner. Smiling Sasuke bought two Vanilla Chocolate Strawberry Banana Split Sundays for both him and Itachi.
"Hey Itachi?" Sasuke asked while holding onto his older brother's hand.
"Yes Sasuke?" Itachi asked as he looked down at his brother. Smiling he couldn't help but laugh as he saw how much Sasuke looked like him.
"How come the sky turns red when the sun sets?"
"It turns red because it wants to look pretty for his wife the moon before she wakes up. The sun tries on so many kinds of colors trying to look nice so the moon will never stop loving him. Just like how the Earth tries to stay strong in order to protect her love the cheerful unpredictable Heaven as he tries to protect his love the Earth." Itachi said smiling as he and his brother continued to walk home.
"Then! I want to be like the Earth so I can become strong and protect you Itachi! You're my brother the Heaven! I'll one day become strong enough to protect you, mama, papa, Naruto, and everyone!" Sasuke said with his eyes gleaming full of determination!
"Then you are my Earth Sasuke. As you stay strong to protect me I too shall protect you." Itachi said back smiling.
Awww! Itachi and Sasuke! I couldn't help but cry when writing this! It's so sad to think that even with the promise made between the two, Itachi always did care for Sasuke even neglecting to help him! I just wish my younger brother and I could act like this! K-Know what? Because this was such a touching chapter to show the bond between Sasuke and Itachi…I'm going to start writing Chapter Three! This was such a good chapter that I made it long just for you guys. And…as something special after you guys are done reading this I'll add a bonus chapter to show how Sasuke and Naruto were like as kids together!
Sasuke felt a tear roll out of his eyes. He had forgotten all about that memory, the last one he had of him and his brother Itachi heading home before his family was killed by Itachi. Sasuke then reached into his duffle bag and pulled out a small handcrafted doll that looked like a young blond boy with whiskers on his face. "Naruto…"
"Hey Sasuke!" A voice called out. A young and innocent boy turned around as he saw a blond kid running to him. His goofy smile was always perfect and friendly.
"Naruto! How was your vacation? I heard that the Middle School teacher Iruka-Sensei took you on vacation with him during the New Years? Where did you guys go?" Sasuke asked as he hugged his best friend. Smiling he couldn't help but feel glad that Naruto hadn't lost his optimistic happy go lucky personality that always made Sasuke smile.
"Iruka-Sensei and I went to Fujiyama Town to watch the fireworks and the parade! I wish you were there Sasuke! Oh while I was there I was able to take part in a contest between me and some kids on who can build the best stuff toy and so I ended up making a doll of you Sasuke! When they asked why I chose to make a person I told them that there is only one pal that I need when I'm alone or when I'm sad and sacred and that is my friend Sasuke! When they asked who Sasuke was I told them that he was a very intelligent, kind, hardworking, loyal, best friend that anyone could have! So Sasuke as a prize for coming in first I made a doll of me to give to you! Sasuke know I can go anywhere with you and you can go anywhere with me! We'll always be best brothers Sasuke! Believe it!" Naruto shouted as he handed a doll that looked just like Naruto to Sasuke.
"Wow! Naruto this is amazing! I can't believe it! It's so cool! Naruto you're the best brother I've ever had! I can't wait for Itachi to meet you! He said one day that you and I can go get ice cream with him and play!" Sasuke said as he took the Naruto doll from Naruto's hands and held it tightly. Sasuke was so happy that his best friend/brother had made something with so much love for him. He was crying in joy.
"Hey Sasuke are you alright?" Naruto asked worried.
"Baka! I'm alright! For a seven year old you really know how to make people happy! Naruto let's hand out during lunch today! Mamma made me some of her beef and pork ramen for me." Sasuke said as he took Naruto's hand and ran to class with him.
"Oh boy Sasuke! I love ramen!"
Sasuke smiled as he held the doll even closer to him. "Naruto. You're really great. I wish I was as strong as you." Sasuke said as he placed the doll next to him on his bed as he closed his eyes and remembered that day, he kept playing that scene through his head over and over again.
Naruto smiled as he held a doll of Sasuke Uchiha in his hands. "Yeah Buddy…I remember that day…I just wish I was as strong as you." Naruto said to himself as he laid down on his bed after taking a shower.
"N-Naruto-Kun? What i-is that you have there?" Hinata asked eyeing the old worn out doll that looked like Sasuke.
"It's a doll…I made it along with another doll that looked like me, I kept the Sasuke doll and gave the Naruto doll to Sasuke. I never stopped believing in Sasuke. I know he's going to make the right choice Hinata." Naruto said smiling as he closed his eyes.
"Sasuke-Kun." Hinata said to herself as she sat down on her bed after changing into her nightgown while Naruto was showering. "I hope you made it to Leaf University." She said to herself as she held a small golden locket that had Naruto's, Kiba's, and Sasuke's photo in it. It was the time after they had graduated from elementary school and entered high school that the three of them allowed Hinata to take a photo of them while they were at an amusement park.
Awwww! Hinata has feelings for Sasuke! Well hope you guys like this. Leave a review and tell me who you want Sasuke's roommate to be. Do you guys want Sai? Shikamaru? Choji? Shino? Kiba? Rock Lee?
