Sasuke stared with wide eyes at Naruto. The blonde had a cut on his forehead from where Sasuke bashed his head into the wall, he was clinging to this boy, this Daisuke, as if he were afraid his best friend was going to kill him. But were they even friends anymore? With the way Sasuke treated the blonde, hit him, called him names; the young Uchiha practically destroyed any bond the two had as friends or even brothers. "Naruto," he began but when the boy flinched, Sasuke realized there was no point in apologizing. Daisuke gripped the knife harder "you really should just leave, man" Sasuke just stood there, he couldn't leave; Naruto was crying because of him and he had to at least try to make it right. Teary blue eyes stared at the last Uchiha "please, just go" the blonde Jinchuuriki whispered brokenly. Sasuke couldn't take it anymore; he ran to the front door and left.
When he left the apartment building, he walked around Konoha aimlessly. After about an hour of walking, he ended up on a swing at the playground of the ninja academy. He felt the choking emotion of guilt. He was suffocated by the inescapable cloud of shame, caused by the knowledge that he had hurt the one he loved. Naruto feared him, maybe even hated him, and it was his fault. "Sasuke, what are you doing here?" he looked up and saw Iruka standing in front of him. When Sasuke didn't answer, Iruka just smiled "Come, walk with me." Sasuke got up and went with the academy teacher.
As the two walked, there was a sort of mildly comfortable silence. "So I heard you were going to see about Naruto today." Iruka said casually, trying to start conversation. When he received no reply, he continued. "Just so you know, Naruto lives in a pretty rundown part of Konoha, he always has, even before he went to the academy. But it's all he could ever afford. When he became a genin, the council regulated his income so he would only be able to afford a place like that. No child should live in places like that. When he was three, he was transferred from the orphanage in this area to the one in the low income district, but it soon closed down due lack of funds. Two hundred and fifty orphans ended up on the street and the council didn't even care. I would have adopted them, but I had neither the means nor income to take care of them all. They took care of each other, though, like family. But they needed money, food and somewhere to live. Some of them took to stealing, others looked for abandoned buildings so they could take refuge. At one time there wasn't enough food and some of the older ones would starve themselves to feed the younger ones. After three and a half years, there were only sixty-five left while the others died of illness or starvation. The remaining orphans, mainly the older ones, took to illegal jobs-drug dealing, gang activity, stripping, even prostitution- just to make enough money to feed them all. Nine years ago, I met someone who had a rather questionable income. I agreed to go half on a building so the kids could live somewhere, but he offered to pay for the whole thing. They bought their own furniture and painted their own rooms. They were so happy- they called the building their castle-, but they didn't trust us, living on the street could do that. But even though they had somewhere to live, they weren't safe. A lot of the kids were drugged and raped by wandering drunk men, including Naruto. And most of them quickly became addicted to drugs. I was wrong to trust that man; he allowed those men to come and rape the children and I could do nothing to stop him. Naruto has been clean for eight years- ever since he started the academy when he was six. So saying that to say this: when you go see Naruto, know that everything is not as it seems and try not to say anything to make him relapse." Iruka finished his tale as they walked into Ichiraku, the only ramen stand in Konoha that served not only ramen, but food that wasn't Japanese at all even if most of the customers preferred not to eat foreign food.
Sasuke was about to say something when some one shouted "Daddy!!!" a girl with dark brown hair with blonde highlights, hazel eyes, short shorts , a bikini for a top, and flip flops threw herself at Iruka. Sasuke looked questioningly at the sight. "Daddy?" he asked. Iruka just smiled. "This is one of the kids I was telling you about, they all call me dad or daddy since I'm the closest thing they have to a father. How are you doing Nikki?" Sasuke stared at the girl, this is Nikki? Soon, four more shouts of 'daddy!' came as more people hugged Iruka. The first person was almost an exact copy of Nikki, except she wore a tube top. The second girl wore short shorts a purple muscle that hugged her body and said "fuck you, pay me", she had medium length light brown hair. The third girl was almost an exact copy of the second, except her shirt said "this shirt was your husband's". the fourth was a boy, around fourteen, medium length blonde hair, blue eyes, black cargo pants that were tight around the hips and baggy everywhere else, black sneakers, a white muscle shirt and whisker…..marks. 'Naruto' Sasuke thought sadly, he looked closer at the blonde and saw that the cut on his head was still there, along with a big bruise on the side of his face. Iruka points to the look a likes in the tube top and bikini top "Sasuke, this is Nikki and Rika" then he points to the other girls "and Candy and Kym and you already know- oh my god Naruto what happened to your face!?" said blonde looked up at Iruka, then to Sasuke, then back at Iruka, stopped hugging Iruka and said "some stupid drunk guy thinks that just he's a shinobi, he can get what he wants for free. I kicked him in the nuts and then he hit me and called me a demon whore." Naruto looked down as he lied, he couldn't stand lying to Iruka, but he really want to deal a dead Sasuke and a pissed of Iruka. "ok, but you really shouldn't start fights like that, you cant heal as fast as you used to with your chakra sealed" Iruka noticed the hurt look on the blonde's face; when he was let go as a shinobi, the council sealed his chakra. "so where's Daisuke?" asked Iruka. Naruto blushed, " He kinda, went to pick up my present"
"yea and they're dating now" Rika piped in, making the blond blush harder. Thankfully, before a very overprotective Iruka could react to the word "dating" in reference to one of his "children", the door to the resturaunt opened to reveal ........
