Sorry for everyone who has been waiting!!!! my fault! Enjoy!!

Sasuke sat at the edge of the dock lost in thought. Time had paused for this little boy of only 7 years. He was alone in the world. His brother had killed everyone who had mattered to him. His mom, his father, his aunts and uncles. All the Uchihas were dead. All but him.

Images flashed through his head. The bodies the funeral and...Itachi. The name gave him chills. All the while words repeated over in his head; Itachi's own words: If you wish to kill me, hate me, and detest me, and survive in an unsightly way.

Kill him? Way even live? Why go on? His mind throbbed. Why not just die now?

Footsteps sounded behind him on a dock. He didn't bother to turn.

"Hey Sasuke!" Naruto's pesky voice sounded behind him. Sasuke grunted.

"I'm getting stronger than you!" he taunted. "Pretty soon I'll be able to defeat any one!".

"You are not!" Sasuke snarled riveting around.

"Sure I am! All you do is mope!" Naruto was leaning back on a pole a smug look on his face. "You couldn't defeat anyone! You can barely survive!". Something triggered Sasukes mind.

"Oh yeah? I'll be better than you! I will! Hmph!" Sasuke spun around.

After bout a minute of silence Sasuke turned around. Naruto was till there. Sasuke made a face. Naruto stuk out his tongue. They both smiled.

Naruto walked away. Leaving the dock he called back over his shoulder something that would change Sasukes life; "Just try, rival."

They were still enemies. But through and through their rivalries would help them both grow.
