CHAPTER 2: BROKEN
The Hyuuga councilman walked in the night towards his destination, the house hold of the branch members of the clan to meet a member of it, he scowled at the idea of him a member of the souke being in need of a bunke member for doing something else beyond being their servants, specially this particular one but it can't be helped the kyuubi brat needed to be taken care of.
"Now were could that fool be" thought the member of the council.
"I wonder what Hiashi would say if he was to find out that that the great Hyuuga Hiroshi was scheming with me, the pariah of such great and prestigious clan"
"Silence you pathetic excuse for a Hyuuga, I don't care what Hiashi said you should have been executed, a Hyuuga doesn't resort to such things"
"Again with that for the last time I did what I had to in order to become powerful nothing more"
"A true Hyuuga wouldn't need to resort to anything beyond our ways"
The reason of why this Hyuuga was a pariah was for a simple reason, he wanted to become strong, during his life Sousuke always strived to be more powerful, to be noticed more than a simple branch member, but as he grew up he was in the eyes of the Hyuuga worthless, his taijutsu was below average, he was slow and sloppy, as his talent lied in other areas forbidden for him, ninjutsu, genjutsu. And against the council wishes he trained these arts to a point of being recognized. However instead of getting the praise he desired he was scorned by his own clan and family, the only reason he was still alive was because the Sandaime allowed it and Hiashi refused to kill him, as such he became a cynical person, nothing but a shadow of his former self.
"So what do you require my assistance for oh great and almighty Hyuuga" Sousuke said the part dripping in poison and cynicism in his tone. Earning him a trip to the floor howling in pain courtesy of the seal in his forehead.
"You still haven't learn how to behave in front of your superiors haven't you scum?" said the councilman with a cocky, sadistic smirk on his face.
"Unfortunately I am in the need from your services, I need you to take care of Uzumaki Naruto"
"The Kyuubi brat? What did he ever do to you?"
"That is not of your concern the only thing you need to know is that he must be dealt with"
"He awakened it didn't he?" it was not a question.
"That is irrelevant, if you succeed in this mission then I will see that you receive the proper reward" then he mumbled some words and with that the councilman vanished in the night.
Sousuke stood in his place for a moment contemplating these events, he had no quarrel with the boy, personally he thought he and him were a bit alike, chased and scorned for looking acknowledgement from the people. In the end he decided if one of the two should die better the kid than him, he would honor his memory later on, right now he had to make sure he follows all the orders.
Naruto was still sleeping in the sandaime's office without a care in the world when a black haired woman entered the office, at this the sandaime looked relieved, it had been luck that both Fugaku and Itachi were out of konoha on assignment.
Mikoto was concerned when she was called to the hokage's office at such late hours, it made her wonder, what the most powerful man in konoha would want with her, as she was merely a jounin, and even as that she was not as active as she used to be in her role as a shinobi.
After knocking the door and receiving permission to enter the female Uchiha entered the office wearily, she was so focused on her own thoughts and the man in front of her that she failed to notice her own nephew sleeping in the same room that she just entered.
"You summoned me hokage-sama?"
"Yes Mikoto-san please take a seat" the elder man offered a chair in front of his desk, the woman bowed slightly in thanks and took the offered chair.
"I'll get straight o the point Mikoto-san, this concerns your nephew," he said with complete seriousness in his tone and way of speaking.
These words sent the Uchiha woman in a state of panic, what happened to her nephew? Was he hurt? Was he even alive?.
"what happened? Is he okay? Was he hurt? Is he in the hospital?! Please tell me!!" the Uchiha woman was starting to freak out.
"Mikoto-san please calm down, he is fine, a little shocked but fine nevertheless, in fact he is right there" the elder man said while pointing at the couch where he was sleeping tranquilly.
Her features changed from nearly hysterical to relieved ones, then the woman stood up and walked towards her nephew and when she reached his sleeping her features softened and became a small smile of joy before she kneeled and started playing gently with his hair. moving her gaze from his face to his body she frowned when she saw the kunai slashes in his old clothes, she stood up and turned to the sandaime, allowing the elderly man to see the contained rage in her otherwise beautiful features.
"hokage-sama what happened?" it was not a question.
Usually the hokage would have none of this attitude , but considering the situation he ignored it.
"a drunk chunnin tried to avenge his family, on the bright side this little incident forced Naruto's body to awaken his sharingan"
now this made the Uchiha's day, if Naruto did indeed awaken his sharingan not only he will be allowed to live with his family as it should have from the very beginning, but he will be recognized as it should have been.
"and exactly what do you expect from me hokage-sama?" her voice barely concealed her excitement.
"since now there are proves that he is a Uchiha he can move to the compound with his immediate family, I will tell Naruto the good news tomorrow"
with that said Mikoto excused herself with a smile on her face, knowing that she will fulfill her promise to her departed sister.
The next day when Naruto woke up he found himself on a room he didn't recognized with his unfocused eyes, yet he knew two things, first that this wasn't his bed, as his mattress was not nearly as comfy, second that this place looked vaguely familiar.
"it's good to see you're awake Naruto"
the boy rubbed his eyes in an attempt to remove the remains of sleepiness of them, after succeeding he focused on the man in front of him "ojii-san? What happened?"
"what do you remember of last night Naruto"
the blond stared at him for a moment before pulling his knees towards his body, hugging legs and lowered his head.
"I see you remember what happened, I know it was bad, but at least something good came from this"
"huh?"
"thanks to something that happened last night you will have a family"
the boy's face brightened and he smiled at the news "are you serious ojii-san?" he asked a little afraid that this was not more than a sick joke.
The hokage was smiling and nodding but on the inside he was frowning, he knew the why of the question during his whole life Naruto was beaten and shunned by the people of the village, the went as far as to deny him the right to exist with their eyes, to stab him in the back when let his guard down, it was more than obvious that he was going to be suspicious.
"yes Naruto starting today you will be moving into the Uchiha compound"
if it was possible the smile on his face got even bigger before jumping up and down and shouting in excitement "Naruto your family will be here to pick you up at six"
"who are they?"
"Uchiha Mikoto and her family, you remember her don't you? it's a nice lady with black hair"
Naruto did remembered her she one of the few that treated him kindly in konoha, and the only one of her clan that treated him right, granted the Uchiha were not as bad as the villagers but they still looked at him as if he was a mistake.
"THANK YOU!!THANK YOU!! OJII-SAN" and with that Naruto went his way to pack his stuff and to tell Ayame-san and Ichiraku-san.
It was five o'clock and Naruto was waiting with all the few things he owned, even all the glares he received that day couldn't make him miserable and when he told the old man in the ramen stand and his daughter they couldn't be happier for him. During the day he thought that someone was following but he just shrugged it off and went his way.
This was his chance now that the brat was in the office and no one was here to stop him, he trailed the boy during the whole day, it pained him to do this to someone who doesn't really did anything wrong but it was just orders.
After making sure that no one was there Sousuke henged into someone who cold break the trust the sandaime was trying to build, a non-descriptive Uchiha, the he crept into the office's window before launching a kunai that nicked Naruto's arm.
Naruto turned around to see the assailant and turned white, jet black hair, coal black eyes, scowl in face, he was an Uchiha " wha…what are you doing?" he asked fearfully, already knowing the answer.
"it was determined that you are nothing but an obstacle, so I'm here to make sure those orders are carried"
"are you going to kill me?"
"no I'm here to protect you" said cynically the henged Hyuuga "but of course I'm here to kill you!"
as the attacker charged Naruto out panic activated his doujutsu and scrammed to left barely avoiding the charge, but Sousuke was not going to be stopped by this brat and time was on the essence.
"make sure that before he dies he won't trust another Uchiha in what's left of his life"
he really didn't understand the why of those orders, what type of sick bastard gains pleasure in breaking a boy before killing it, he gritted his teeth in anger, "the bastard" he thought, not that it mattered at this point, turning on the balls of his left food the concealed Hyuuga started making hand-seals for a Katon jutsu, not a particularly powerful one, but right now power is not something he would use.
"Katon: housenka no jutsu"(fire release: mythical phoenix flame technique)
he breathed out releasing several fist-sized fireballs towards the blond whose eyes predicted them and dodged to the left with a jump making Sousuke smirk, his little plan worked no he had the boy where he wanted it, with a burst of speed he shortened the distance between them before planting a knee on his abdomen depriving the child of air followed by a right cross that sent him backwards.
"why?" he asked between wheezing breaths.
"because it is my work" then he smirked in a very Uchiha-like way "did you actually thought someone would like a freak like you?" this made Naruto widen his eyes before they got filled with sadness.
"want to know something even better, the one who ordered your execution was non other than Uchiha Fugaku".
Sousuke knew it was time to finish this any shred of trust the boy could have towards his mother's clan was almost lost if not lost completely.
"but don't worry I'll make this as painless as possible" "it's the very least I can do after I what I took" he added mentally with regret, Before starting to make hand-seals.
"farewell" but before he could finish the sequence he was pinned to the floor by five ANBU with the hokage watching.
"take him away" the elder said coldly before turning to the little boy that was quivering both from the pain and from the fear "Naruto are you okay? what happened?"
"why? Why do they hate me?"
"Naruto what are talking about?"
Sarutobi knelt and started rubbing the boy's back while trying to soothe him with his words
"don't worry Naruto it all passed now, it's over now"
"but he said that they ordered my execution"
"Naruto what happened?" the hokage asked sternly, Naruto was about to reply when the door opened and two people entered, the first was the nice black-haired lady that Naruto knew from all his life, she was smiling kindly to him, it was that smile that brought one to the boy's own face, then she moved to reveal another person, a tall man that had a serious if not stern look, he had short black hair black eyes and a strong jaw, the man was looking at Naruto inquisitively as if judging him.
"Naruto these are your relatives Uchiha Mikoto and Uchiha Fugaku" at the mention of his uncle's name all smile was vanished from his face to be replaced by a look of sheer terror so in an attack of panic he ran and hid behind his aunt quivering.
"it is something the matter?" asked the Uchiha male, clearly confused of his nephew's behavior.
"Naruto what happened?" asked again the hokage.
The boy started telling them what happened, from the attack to his executioners orders both Fugaku an Mikoto were seething, the female because what they did and the male because someone was trying to tarnish his name.
To say that the travel back to the compound was awkward and frustrating was like saying that a lightning was more powerful than a electric spark. The boy glanced fearfully at his uncle and always made sure that he was near the hokage or his aunt and never, ever near Fugaku.
Now in the house and after making sure that Naruto was asleep Mikoto went to see her husband in the dining-room.
"start explaining dear" she hissed with a glare on her eyes that promised an unbelievable amount of pain if he wasn't honest or she didn't like the answer.
In a containment cell Sousuke was shifting uncomfortably, wondering how much time the punishment for failing will take when he felt it, a sharp pain in fore-head, it was fast and the next thing he knew was nothing. He was nothing more than a pile of dust that will disappear.
Hiroshi smiled with contempt even if that pariah failed something good came out of it, the boy's trust in the Uchiha was shattered and now will never truly be one of them, and he got rid of the scum of his clan, maybe it was not so bad after all that the boy survived.
In the end of that day what he should have been his happiest day it became a nightmare, the question is can he trust his clan or his remaining family? Was it true or lie what the assassin said? Was it so wrong for him to be an Uchiha?
