Chapter 4

Sasuke woke up that morning in excoriating pain. Slowly he got up and made his way into the bathroom. Sasuke stood there looking into the mirror he couldn't believe what he saw. His left wrist was covered in bruises and hurt to move. Both of his arms were covered in bruises and cuts. Sasuke took off his shirt to see what damage was done, there he found more bruises and deep cuts. All of which he could hide easily enough by wearing a long sleeved shirt. His right eye was a different story though, it held a very dark bruises and it had a deep cut that went through it making his eye red.

Immediately his mind went to working on an excuse to tell the others when they asked. 'Maybe I can hide it.' he thought. Sasuke started to look under the bathroom counter. After the massacre he didn't throw anything away he found his mother's straightening iron. He took it out and plugged it in then he went back to his room to get dressed. He put on black pants and a black long sleeved shirt. Once dressed he went back into the bathroom and began to straighten his hair, then he styled it so his bangs would cover his right eye. Once he was satisfied he left and went to meet his team.

Naruto and Sakura showed up at the bridge. Normally Sasuke showed up first so they were a little surprised not to find him already there this morning. Although they should have known he maybe later then usually with his family back. After ten minutes Kakashi showed up he was worried when he saw that Sasuke wasn't there with them.

"Where is Sasuke?"

"Kakashi- sensei your late! So were is Sasuke Bastard?"

"Do either of you know where he is?"

"Nope he hasn't shown p yet." Naruto said.

"Oh here he comes." Sakura said

The three of them turned around to see Sasuke walking towards them. They were shocked to see Sasuke's hair that way. Sasuke was nervous to say the least about seeing his team. He was more worried about Kakashi unlike the other two he didn't take everything at face value. He was sore all over and he was hoping he didn't have a mission today.

"Sasuke bastard what the hell is with your hair?" Naruto asked in between laughs. Sakura smacked him on the side of his head to get him to stop.

"Naruto what do you know it looks great."

"Look it's tradition and with my family back now I have to follow it."

"Sasuke are you sure everything is fine?"

"Yes Kakashi- sensei."

Sasuke didn't look at Kakashi which of course he noticed. Which meant that Sasuke was lying. Kakashi knew that he wouldn't be able to get Sasuke to talk with the others around. So he would have to be patient and wait till later.

"Ok then, we don't have a mission today nor training. I'm sorry but I'm needed by the Hokage. Si I will see you here tomorrow morning then."

Before Naruto or anyone else open their mouth to complain Kakashi disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"That's not fair! I cant believe that no mission, no training no nothing! Well Sakura how about a date then?"

"Ew no way Naruto leave me alone. Hey Sasuke how about we talk a walk alone somewhere?"

Sasuke just looked at Naruto and Sakura then headed back to his house. He was hoping he could get some sleep before his father got drunk again. Kakashi sat there in a near by tree. He could still hear Naruto and Sakura arguing about going on a date. He watched Sasuke very carefully. He could tell that something was wrong, for starters he never wears pants and a long sleeved shirt in the middle of the summer. He didn't wear his hair down like that when the clan was alive. Kakashi knew how hard it is to straighten hair that has electric chakra through it. Sasuke's hair was natural just like his, because of their chakra. Kakashi watched Sasuke walk away from Naruto and Sakura that's when he saw it, Sasuke was limping and trying to hide it. 'So something did happen.' he thought. Kakashi figured that this time he would go straight to the source it was time he had a talk with his father.

Kakashi took a while to find Fugaku, 'Sasuke must get it from him.' he thought. After looking everywhere he finally found him talking to some of the Uchihas. Kakashi was never one to be shy he just walked right up to them and stood beside Fugaku. The Uchihas never liked Kakashi their Clan's never got along both had different values, and beliefs. The hatred only got worse once the Uchihas found out that Obito gave Kakashi one of his Sharigan eye. Fugaku looked over at Kakashi and glared. Between working with Sasuke and Itachi glares no longer affected him. Fugaku dismissed the few Uchihas that he was talking to and turned to face Kakashi.

"I need to discuss Sasuke with you."

"Really about what?"

"I know Sasuke fairly well I just want to make sure he is adapting well with everyone being back."

"He's fine."

"Really there's nothing wrong with him at all?" Kakashi need Fugaku to believe that he knew something had happened to Sasuke, he needed to trap him.

"Besides a tough training session with his cousin there's nothing wrong at all."

"A tough training session eh? Is that what happened to him? I noticed he was a little sore."

"Yes his cousin worked him hard injuries are bound to happen after all."

"Yes well done right they don't. after all you all are elite ninjas he's gifted but he wouldn't be able to hold his own against any of you."

"I know and that is exactly why he is a disgrace to my Clan. I expect him to be at Jounin level by the end of next week. You're his sensei either you get him there or I will."

With that Fugaku left Kakashi standing there. Sasuke was in trouble now he had to figure out how to get Sasuke help. More importantly he had to see what the damage that was done to Sasuke just last night. The only question was how could he find out. Kakashi knew that he needed hard evidence in order for the Hokage to be able to punish Fugaku and to get Sasuke away from him.

The problem Kakashi had was the pain in his heart. It wasn't a secret that Kakashi had a place in his heart for his team. However, Kakashi held a special place in his heart for Sasuke. Kakashi decided he would wait until night and then spy on Sasuke and see if he could see any questionable injuries that he could confront Sasuke with.

Sasuke got home and was relieved that no one was there. He didn't bother eating anything he just went up into his bedroom to sleep. He didn't bother changing his clothes he was too dizzy and tired he just wanted to sleep. He didn't even care about the hunger pain growing in his stomach.

It was only a short twenty minutes before Fugaku came home. He was furious at Sasuke he went into the kitchen and took out a bottle of Whiskey. He immediately began drinking from it. He couldn't believe that Kakashi had actually came and talked to him about Sasuke. He refused to let Sasuke be a disgrace to his Clan. If Sasuke couldn't live up to his expectations then he will be locked away in the basement.

After drinking half a twenty sixer Fugaku went upstairs to make sure Sasuke never screws up again. He threw open Sasuke's door and went over to him. After ripping off the covers Sasuke woke up. Fear rant through Sasuke's entire body he could smell the Whiskey on his father's breath.

"You're a worthless piece of shit that is a disgrace to my Clan. I'm gonna show you what happens to disgraces, you piece of shit."

Fugaku made his way towards Sasuke. The last thing Sasuke heard was the sound of his bedroom door locking.
