7. [Academy]
Sasuke has been given time to recover from his ordeal, so he is excused from Academy. Eventually, the Council deems him recovered enough to attend and he is "allowed" back. Sasuke isn't exactly given a choice to attend because the weight of expectation from the Council, from the Village, from everyone, even himself forces him to accept. After all, there is no way that Uchiha Sasuke, the Last Uchiha, wouldn't want to become a shinobi and follow the proud tradition of his ancestors, right? When he enters the classroom, it is silent. Nobody seems to be breathing. They all stare at him likes he's a lab rat. He doesn't like it, but there is nothing he can do about it.
