Pinky and the big bad shinobi world
Chapter Three: Pinky and Foxy go on an adventure!
"People are different and you can find a worthy companion among them as long as you respect them. One day you'll understand that bonds are an important think, little brother."- Itachi to Sasuke
The days fallowing Satoshi's meeting with Naruto were filled with laughter for both boys. They ran around the village causing ruckus and pranking the shopkeepers that were mean to Naruto. As Naruto has feared life for Satoshi really became harder in the orphanage.
The other boy's friends had abandoned him so they won't get yelled at by the caregivers. When Satoshi noticed Naruto's guilty expression he just poked his nose and told him not to worry.
It was during an especially nice day that the two kids decided to go to one of Konoha's playgrounds. They couldn't precisely go too far from the orphanage since they would get in trouble but fortunately for them there was a playground really close.
As they prepared to go, which included revising the plan to put a dung bomb in the office of the director of the orphanage and running away through a small crack in the fence they had discovered not too long ago, they send each other exited glances.
This wasn't the first outing for either of them but still with the among of planning they have put into it it felt like a mission! By their estimation no one could trace the dung bomb back to them, even though the staff would accurately guess that they had done the deed, since they were expensive and a couple of orphans shouldn't have the money to purchase one.
Also they had around an hour and a half before they had to go back to the library where they usually spend their days, much to the librarian's horror. With a nod to each other they set to complete their first mission.
Within five minutes all hell broke lose in the orphanage. Everyone was fleeing to save themselves from the stench and no one noticed two grinning boys slipping out of the orphanage.
"This was so fun; we should cause mass panic more often!" Naruto said as he couldn't keep his amusement hidden.
"Ya and the best part is that if they ask us where we were we can say we were running from the smell like the others!"
After that Satoshi started laughing uncontrollably which earned him more than one glare.
"Now Naruto lets go! The mission was a success and our praise awaits!"
Satoshi's mock inspiration speech was met by a salute and a "Yes, sir" from Naruto and together they headed towards the park.
There were already a lot of children. In a corner a couple of girls were sitting and talking with each other. In the sandbox a boy was playing loudly with his dog. A boy whit glasses was sitting next to a tree far away from the others. Another boy with a pineapple hairstyle was watching the clouds. A raven haired child was building a sandcastle and another older boy was watching him fondly.
The two boys headed towards the sandbox because every other child was in a group already and they didn't feel confident enough to approach so many children at once. When they neared the boy they noticed that the older boy's brother started to watch them with interest.
"Hi there! My name is Naruto, believe it! This is Satoshi. What are you building?"
Sasuke stopped his work to stare at the two strangers. Everyone in the village either ignored his clansmen and him or was downright hostile for no reason. Even the other clan heirs kept their distance and rarely played with him. Didn't those boys see the Uchiha fan on his t-shirt? Maybe they haven't and that's why they came over to him.
Now that Sasuke got a good look at them he did have to reason with himself that they were both a little strange. The boy on the left had blonde hair, which was uncommon outside the Yamanaka clan, and was dressed mostly in orange and grey. The boy on the right had pink hair, something the Uchiha had never seen before. He was dressed in red and black clothes that made his pink hair stand out like a sore thumb.
Deciding that since they were that weird they had decided not to judge him the raven haired boy smiled at them and invited them to come into the sandbox with him.
"The Uchiha compound! I already made the gates with the symbols on them. Do you want to help me build the houses and the shops?"
The two newcomers shared a look and nodded exited that they haven't been spurn.
"Sure but how do you make a house out of sand?"
After Satoshi's question Sasuke got to do something that he rarely could in a family full of older kids. He got to explain while being completely badass, in his own mind at least. To Satoshi and Naruto the other boy's finger waving and imitation of a teacher's voice were just too much and soon they were laughing.
"Hey, what's so funny?" Finally shouted Sasuke agitated from the way those people were treating him.
Satoshi stopped his giggles for a second to only renew them again. He just couldn't help it. This boy had sounded so much like their caretakers back at the orphanage when they were scolding Naruto and him. In fact the boy had managed to make a perfect imitation of the director and after what they had done to sneak out today both boys knew that something like this but with shouting was waiting for them.
After calming enough Naruto explained to Sasuke about what the boy had unknowingly done and before long he too was rolling on the ground laughing.
Unknowingly to the three boys in the sandbox the older boy on the bench was also laughing. This in itself was considered a rare phenomenon for one Uchiha Itachi. Had the clan elders been able to see the scene they would have cursed the almost dead Haruno clan for infecting their heirs and thank them also for the proof they now had that their pride and joy, Itachi, was still a child at heart.
Itachi watched the small triangle that his brother and his newfound friends had made. It was adorable in a way. He vaguely remembered teasing Shisui about the cuteness of his own brother, much to said brother's embarrassment. Now he guessed that Shisui would be the one teasing him for acquiring two more baby brothers. That made the Uchiha scion's face darken. He really had to think of a contra attack or his elder cousin would never let him live thinking about his brother's new friends as his brothers!
While Itachi was having his inner crisis Sasuke had managed to earn himself five Uzumaki bear hugs, two Haruno nose pokes and had initiated a tickling match with the odds heavily stacked against him. Before anyone knew it everyone had joined in and even Itachi had been dragged into it.
The children had been especially merciless to the older boy after finding his ticklish spot behind his ear and a puppy was using its tail to tickle his feet. Unable to kick a puppy, or brush off all of the children off him, Itachi hung his head and with a shout of "Traitor!" at his brother he admitted defeat and agreed to take out everyone for an ice cream, much to his wallet's horror.
Sasuke couldn't stop smiling! It was the first time he was surrounded by so many people and that weren't a part of his clan and there was this warm feeling in his belly that just wouldn't go away. He looked at Satoshi and Naruto and saw that, if possible, they were even happier than him.
Satoshi couldn't decide if this was the best day of his life or the most embarrassing, seeing as a few minutes ago he had rolled around with a dozen other children in a sandbox. With a slight distaste he noted that the sand had managed to get everywhere.
Still looking at Naruto's smile he knew that today was worth it, that what he did for the blonde and how now his former friends ignored him was worth it. In his mind the child registered that those smiles around him should become his real goal. To protect them and to make them appear in the faces of others, but especially on Naruto's face who was smiling his very first genuine smile in the presence of the pink haired boy.
When Naruto and Satoshi reluctantly started to stand up, to head back, Sasuke looked at them with disappointment. Just as he predicted the two boys were the glue that held the newly formed group together and without them everyone started going back to their normal park playtime routine.
Then, after staring at his unfinished replica of the Uchiha compound, Sasuke remembered something really important. He hadn't introduced himself to the two boys! How where they going to find him if they wanted to hang out with him? Panicked, much to the surprise of his elder brother, he ran after them and grabbed one of each of their hands to make them stop.
"Sasuke! Sasuke Uchiha! That's my name. If you want to hang out you can just ask the guards of the compound and then they'll call me out!"
The two boys smiled what Sasuke would later nickname "weird twins telepathic smile". Then they nodded and answered at the same time:
"We will!"
Later on after Sasuke had told them goodbye he returned back to his spot with a goofy smile and yawed. Chuckling Itachi picked up his little brother and put him on his back to give him a piggy back ride home. By the time they had crossed their doorstep Sasuke was already fast asleep and after their mother kissed them on the foreheads Itachi went upstairs to put his precious brother to bed. As he was pulling a blanket over Sasuke Itachi said:
"People are different and you can find a worthy companion among them as long as you respect them. One day you'll understand that bonds are an important think, little brother. "
With those words he exited the room and left a smiling Sasuke to his dreams.

Next time: There was a figure crying over two bodies, they were alive, but just barely.
The one who was crying was Sasuke.
So, how was it? I tried to bring a little bit of humor in this story and some cuteness too! I really want to thank WindWhistle21 for the review. It was one of the reasons I updated so fast! The other is the plot bunny that is currently sitting next to my laptop and not allowing me to stop XD. And I got fallows too YAY!
Sasuke is nice because according to cannon he was ok before the massacre. And the Uchiha clan was spurned since people thought that they had unleashed the Kyuubi on Konoha.
Review if you want to make my plot bunny and I very happy!
