Note: I sadly don't own Naruto. And this story takes place when everyone is 15. I think that's 3 years later than the manga.
Sasuke was home all alone. "I can't take this anymore!" he said to himself. "How did Naruto get so much better than me? Why does Hokage like him the best out of all the Chunins?"
Sasuke reached for his kunai pouch. "Even death is better than this. I can never kill Itachi if even Naruto is better than me. If I can't be strong enough to do that, I don't want to live." He pulled out a kunai and placed it against his throat.
Earlier that day
Naruto pushed Sasuke out of the way and got a chest full of kunai that the sound ninja had thrown at him. Sakura jumped out from behind Naruto and returned the sound ninja's attack ten fold.
"Are you okay Naruto?" She said. She started to bandage the wounds that the kunai had left behind.
"Yeah I'm fine, it's just a scratch." He said. "Are you okay wimp? I'm afraid I pushed you a little too hard. Did you break anything when you hit the ground?"
"Shut up!" Sasuke snarled. He got up and started walking back to Konoha. "The mission's over so let's just file the report already."
"That's a good idea Sasuke-kun. I can't wait to get back to school. Missions sure are a pain." Sakura said as she started to follow Sasuke.
"Yeah, we do have to file the report. But I don't want to go back to school. I have Gai as a Taijutsu teacher. He is so creepy…" Naruto said as he caught up with Sasuke and Sakura. The rest of the way to Konoha, Sasuke didn't say another word.
When they got to Hokage's house, they were met with the normal praise and insults. "You did an excellent job Naruto, Sakura. You two always make Konoha proud whenever you go on missions. But Sasuke, you really need to improve. We expect more from you since you're an Uchiha. Have you ever considered asking Naruto for some help training? He is the best Chunin in the village."
"Yeah Sasuke, I'll help you train. Though if I do, you have to do everything I say. Got it?"
"Like I would ever ask you for help Naruto." Sasuke stormed out of Hokage's house and ran all the way back to his house.
He ran inside and slammed the door shut. He punched the wall out of frustration. His arm went all the way through it. "Dammit! Now I'm gonna have to get that fixed." He pulled his arm out and slid down the wall.
"I can't take this anymore!" he said to himself. "How did Naruto get so much better than me? Why does Hokage like him the best out of all the Chunins?"
Sasuke reached for his kunai pouch. "Even death is better than this. I can never kill Itachi if even Naruto is better than me. If I can't be strong enough to do that, I don't want to live." He pulled out a kunai and placed it against his throat.
He was about to slit his throat when he realized he no longer had the kunai in his hand. He looked up and saw a girl about his age holding it. "You don't want to do that, trust me. Suicide isn't the right choice and slitting your throat, whether you doing it or someone slitting it for you in battle, isn't a very good idea. It is really messy, and if you happen to survive, you'll have a nasty scar." She said as she pointed to her neck.
Sasuke stood up and looked at the girl from top to bottom. She had silver hair, green eyes, and a long scar across her neck. She was tall and dressed in all black with lots of chains, making her pale skin stand out even more. "Just who the hell are you and how did you get in here?" he asked.
"My name's Akirah and I walked in. Looks like you ripped the door off its hinges. And you punched a hole in the wall. Smooth move Uchiha." The girl said as she put his kunai back in his pouch.
Sasuke looked at the missing door then back at Akirah. "I never said my name." He said. Akirah looked surprised then quickly recovered from it.
"I was guessing from the fans everywhere. You know, Uchiha means fan. And everyone knows that the only Uchiha left is a kid that's my age, so I assumed he was you. Well I got to go. Promise you won't try suicide again?" Sasuke nodded. "Good. Now bye, I really have to leave." Akirah walked out of the house. "Oh yeah, one last thing. If you lied, I'll as good as kill you." Akirah ran of in the direction of the woods.
"Just what was that about? Oh well, I have to fix the door still." He spent the next few hours fixing the door and wall.
"Sasuke-kun, are you home?" Sakura was standing out side the door. She opened it and walked in. "Sasuke-kun?"
"I'm in here!" Sasuke called. Sakura followed his voice into the kitchen.
"Umm, Sasuke-kun," Sakura asked, "I was wondering if you could help me with the homework on the different types of kekkei genkai. I don't really understand it. I though you might because you have the Sharingan and all…"
"No. You just wanted to come and see me. Now go home Sakura before I kick you out."
Sakura left looking extremely disappointed. Sasuke looked back at the door and saw something lying on the ground. He walked over and picked it up. It was a black choker, with a single blood red ruby in the center. "This must have been that girl's. I should give it back to her if I ever see her again. But, she wasn't wearing it. So why does it seem like I've seen it before?"
"That was a close one. He sure looks a lot like Itachi. I almost blew my cover because of that."
"You have to be more careful next time. Now, how long until he discovers his new power."
"Holy shit! Don't sneak up on me. You almost gave me a heart attack. I swear you can really be annoying sometimes."
"Sorry. Hey, where's your necklace? Don't tell me you lost it."
"Damn. I must have left it at Uchiha's place. Don't worry. I can get it back."
"Oh. Answer the first question already. How long until he becomes like you. It shouldn't be to long."
"It depends on when he uses the Sharingan next. I'm guessing not to long at all. Man, will he be in for a surprise when he does…"
