:-) opps, thanks for correcting me on my spelling error! If there is anything else I spelled wrong can you let me know so I can fix it later? (I'm not to good with spelling names.)Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters…well a one or two. Ok, shall we get started?

Naruto scanned the area looking for any building. So far they had found two and both turned out to be the wrong place. At this point he was ready to give up and just sit back and hope that Sasuke was ok. Sakura jumped from one tree to another and finally landed on the branch next to Naruto.

"I don't get it….On the maps I've studied there were suppose to be dozens of buildings but, I can't find not one." Sakura sat down and huffed blowing her pink bangs out of her hair.

Suddenly Kakashi popped up in front of them the cloud of gray smoke making his appearance more dramatic then needed. He looked up momentarily from his book before sitting down.

"AHH! Are you even looking!" Naruto shouted.

Kakashi sighed and put the book away. "Of course I was, but this is one of my favorite parts to. I can multi task…besides…" Kakashi looked at a tree heavy with leaves close by. "We have a visitor."

As if on cue the leaves rustled and a ninja popped out. He wore black on black and a mask that had two simple slits in it for seeing. When he spoke his voice was muffled but it was clear he was older.

"Looking for something?" the ninja asked putting is hands on his hips.

Kakashi stood up. "Why do you ask?"

The ninja shrugged. "Curiosity, because if you looking for Sasuke…"he paused looking at the shocked reaction of the two younger ninja next to Kakashi. "Then you might as well give up."

Through the always present mask that Kakashi wore over most of his face you could see a slight frown. "Why is that?"

The ninja shrugged again before taking out a Kunai. "I have strict orders not to let you continue this search, please understand, I'm just doing my job."

Naruto stepped forward an excited grin on his face. "Three against one? What kinda deal is that? We're going to beat you to dust if it's a fight you're looking for!"

The man seemed to smile even though you couldn't see his actual face. "Your right kid, I guess I'll call in some reinforcements."

Suddenly five more ninja that looked just like him appeared out of the forest and surrounded the three leaf village ninja. Sakura groaned. "You just couldn't shut up Naruto…"

Kakashi took a Kunai of his own out and got ready. "Fine."

Sasuke hung there from the chains his eyes dropping. His body was tired for some reason and he couldn't focus right. His hands had begun to lose feeling since there wasn't enough blood getting through and he had long since lost feeling in his legs. Soon he fell asleep once again.

"Sasuke! Come on it's time for dinner!" A voice called out.

Sasuke looked up from the ant pile he was studing and smiled. His older brother walked up to him a smile on his face.

"What are you looking at?"

Sasuke grinned. "Ants, look, they all work together, like a family, like us."

Itachi smiled and nodded. "Yep, come on though, mom's gonna kill us if were late again." Itachi bent down and allowed Sasuke to climb on his back.

The whole way there Sasuke told his brother about what he had learned about the ants. He told him how they're so strong, an how he'd bet that none of them would betray the others. Itachi just stayed silent and carried his little brother to the house.

Sasuke jumped off his brothers back once the got inside and ran to the bathroom. Washing his hands he ran out to his mom and flashed them in her face.

"Very good." She said smiling.

He sat down and waited for his brother to sit next to him. Once they were all seated they ate their dinner like a happy family. After a while though Sasuke's dad stood up.

"It's time we got going." He said his gruff voice turning serious.

Itachi stood up and followed his dad outside. Sasuke got up to and rushed after them.

"No Sasuke, stay with you mother and help her out." His dad said.

Sasuke pouted. "But, I wanna learn to, I'm strong enough. Come on Itachi tell him."

Itachi shook his head. He walked up to his little brother and placed a playful finger on his forehead. "Maybe later ok? This is stuff that you should sit out on." He said in a friendly but stern voice.

Sasuke nodded but deep down his heart broke in two. All he wanted was to train. Maybe if they gave him another chance he could become stronger.

"I am strong enough..."

After helping his mom wash the dishes and clean the table he ran outside.

"You stay in the back yard!" His mom shouted after him. Sasuke said ok but his intentions were far from playing in the backyard. He made his way over the gate and to the training grounds. A little nervous since he knew his mom would be mad for disobeying her Sasuke crouched behind a bush and watched his brother.

He smiled as he watched them spar but soon his smile turned to a confused frown.

"Please son, don't." his father said stopping.

Itachi smirked. "You must be weak if it's this easy."

Suddenly Sasuke was in a room and he watched his beloved brother swing down a sword. His shut his eyes confused. This couldn't be. That was his brother, his inspiration, his hero. How could he?

Sasuke opened his eyes to see himself face to face with his "hero"

"Brother?"

Itachi smirked. "Your weak, you can't avenge them, your worthless. So go…survive…live with the constant reminder that you could not save them…."

Sasuke threw his eyes open. For a second he had forgotten he was chained and out of habit tried to move his legs.

"Shit…" Sasuke mumbled realizing were he was. He shook his head as reminders of his dreams flashed through his head. He sighed.

"I am strong enough…"

Sasuke had to be the cutest little thing when he was little, that what I tried to "capture" in this chapter cause people forget that Sasuke wasn't always that cold uncaring person that he is now. Next chapter….hehe I can't wait to post.
