Notes: We have entered the actual Naruto plotline (I guess). So there's more serious and less fluff. I know there are some who stayed on this fanfic for the fluffs and I too enjoyed writing the fluffy moments. But I already planned the events I would write for this fanfic so I'm going to post one a new fanfic called Shisui's Compilation where I'll put in all the fluffy Uchiha moments from Shisui's perspective. I also wrote some fluffy extra chapter for Obsession but I'll only post them after this 30-chapter fanfic is completed.
Warning:Uchiha Massacre. Please watch the anime or read the manga for the actual details of the mentioned events. This is after all a fanfic and I might be inaccurate about the details (I try not to be).
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or the Uchiha brothers. Do support Masashi Kishimoto and the official anime/manga releases.

Chapter 11: Hatred
The future was supposed to be warm like the summer days when the boys ate shaved ice together. Never was it meant to be cold like the winter night that would forever plagued his dreams. The red blossoms sprouted around the cold bodies of his kin but Sasuke pay little heed to them. For in his mind, only the worries for his family occupied. Even his perfect brother would struggle against an enemy who could take down his clan, Sasuke thought in concern as he ran as fast as he could. There were no screams or the clashing of weapons. It was a silent night where no owl hooted or cricket creaked. Just a silent night.
Sasuke knew his brother had changed. When less attention was spent on him, when his brother did not stop at the sight of Sasuke's bleeding knees, when his brother stopped greeting him with the warm gentle smile, Sasuke knew there was little he could do… because he was just a weak child. He could never beat his brother. Be it a fight, a game of shogi or a simple argument, it was an impossible was no game of tag Sasuke could win when against his brother so why did he bother running?
Deep in his heart, he knew his warm-hearted brother was still within that cold-hearted killer. If Itachi wasn't still that loving brother, Sasuke would lay on the cold floor with blood flowing from his neck. Sasuke knew that was why he was still so obedient to his idol. If he was told to kill his clan, Sasuke would do so. While it pained him to be told to kill his brother, Sasuke would still do it because Itachi told him to. Anything. He would do anything for Itachi. That was the extent of Sasuke's love for his brother. Even if it meant hating the one man he truly loved.
