Returning in time
A/N: So I had this idea and told myself why not? I don't own Naruto by the way.
Chapter 3: Living life like a baby is…?
The first month:
That first month of Sasuke's 'new' life had been a boring one: he would eat, sleep, make his nappies dirty and get bathed by his Kaa-sama while everyone that came to the house babied him! That was the frustrating part of being a baby: they treat you like one.
Sasuke had taken to wake twice or trice a night to demand one of his parents to feed him because he was hungry almost the whole time! He felt like Naruto… He was happy that he hadn't gotten colic and that his parents always burped him once or twice after feeding him, he had even been fed by Itachi and Shisui.
But in general he was a silent baby for wich his parents felt grateful: from what he had heard from their conversations Itachi hadn't had any problems with crying his head off for no reason at all. He had taken to meditate some, when he wasn't sleeping and had found out that one of his favorite childhood toys: Dino the green dinosaur had been a gift from Shisui and not Itachi….his favorite toy had been a toy Kunai made of hard rubber or something, but he would have to wait some until he would be given THAT toy.
Flashback:
Sasuke was only about two weeks old and was being fed his bottle of milk by his Kaa-sama when he heard the front door open: to pair of footfalls where coming their way and if the laughing and shoving where an indication it were Itachi and Shisui.
"You cheated!" Stated Itachi entering the living room frowning at Shisui.
"I didn't cheat! I flickered the way up here." Answered Shisui smugly.
"But I can't flicker yet so you did cheat!"
"Look 'tachi if you don't want to lose a race don't race me." Sasuke could see that Shisui was holding something green in his hands.
"Boys stop fighting over such a silly thing before the two of you upset Sasu-chan. Or you Shisui will be send home and you Itachi will be spending the evening in your room." Said Mikoto calmly while she burped Sasuke.
"Yes ma'am." Said the two at the same time.
"Kaa-san: Shisui brought Otoutou a present!" Said Itachi jumping from one food to another.
"Did you now Shisui?" Asked Mikoto while she held Sasuke close.
"Hai! I did: when I was walking toward the academy to pick 'tachi up I saw this and thought it would be perfect for little Sasu-chan." Answered Shisui showing Mikoto the dinosaur.
"That was very thoughtfull of you Shisui I'm sure Sasu-chan will love him." Awnsered Mikoto before giving Shisui a smile: Sasuke was too busy looking at Dino longingly to truly pay attention: he had always believed it was his Aniki who had given him that toy…
End Flashback
2nd Month:
During the second month of his life Sasuke had started to sleep during the whole night: in the beginning this had caused Mikoto and Fugaku to worry, but after being told by servile Medic-nin they had stopped worrying. Sasuke was more awake during the day: not as much as he would have liked, which would be the whole day, but still it was something. Now that he was awake for longer his family had started to interact more with him.
Itachi made silly noises with Dino to make Sasuke smile and make a strange sound: what he didn't know was that Sasuke smiled at him due two things the childish part of him did truly enjoy that game and the more mature part of him found it funny to see Itachi act so silly. Every time Itachi would make him smile Itachi himself smiled brightly and if Shisui was there he would squeal at how cute they both were. The silly thing is that Itachi 'played' with him to make him smile: he did so every time he saw his Aniki! Minus the sound, he found it to undignified to do so the whole time.
His Kaa-sama had started to take him to the marked with her and Sasuke would smile at the villagers: he knew that part of his clans down fall had been their isolation so he had planned to make friends with the children of other important clans as soon as he could. But even so his plan had started to work: the women would be all over him and his mother had already invited Hinata's mother over to tea twice! And she had also invited over other women like Choji's, Shikamaru's, Ino's, Kiba's and even Shino's! And well the other people of the clan had also started tentative 'friendships' outside the clan. His father didn't complain: he was happy he could have Minato over when they both had a day off: it was strange to Sasuke, his father's best friend was his best friends father!
His Tou-sama wasn't home that much, but when he was he would talk to him about everything and nothing play a little with him (holding him over his, Fugaku's, head before holding him at eye level: before starting again.) the game his father played with him was his favorite game and he often squealed in delight making his father chuckle. Even so his Tou-sama was mostly silent, but Sasuke liked that he could use some of the quality time he did spend with his father to meditate…
Flashback:
"Well Chibi it looks like it's just the two of us for now." Said Fugaku at his two month old son who was lying on the ground in front of him. "You know I thought I would hate it to feed you, but you aren't that bad: you even sleep the whole night!" Exclaimed the proud Uchiha as he lifted the boy over his head making him smile.
"Like that don't you Chibi?" Asked Fugaku as he chuckled.
From that time on it became Sasuke and Fugaku's game. It was practically the only 'game' the head of the clan played with his youngest, but Sasuke loved every single second of it and promised himself that he wouldn't let his father become that sour ice-cold man he had known: with a strict father he could deal.

3rd month:
Sasuke's third month of life, even if he could now roll over lift his head and make some babble like sounds was marked by tragedy: Obito had set the nine-tailed beast loss on the hidden village and most of them had to be evacuated. This meant that Naruto had been born, but also that both Kushina and Minato had died…
The only true difference this time around was that even if a few people did their best to blame the Uchiha many of the other clans and villagers sided with them saying they had been defending the village with the rest of the capable ninja and that they had no reason to do so. The 3rd Hokage had unhappily told the hidden leaf that the Uchiha were as innocent on this matter as they all were. Sarutobi hadn't been happy to have almost the whole village go against his suspicions: many of the members of his council believed Fugaku and the Uchiha's to be responsible for the attack, but they had no proof. Since the birth of the youngest heir the Uchiha had started tentative relationships with the other clans and even some civilians: so they weren't as isolated as they used to be Sarutobi was still unsure if this was a good thing or a bad thing…
Flashback:
In one of the safe places owned by his clan Itachi held Sasuke close worried: the village was being attacked and Sasuke wasn't being himself. What was going on: was his Otoutou just tired? Was he hungry? Was he coming down with something? Or did he somehow understand what was happening?
"Itachi-san are you feeling alright?" Asked a young female voice.
"Hai Izumi I'm fine." Answered Itachi not looking up at the girl.
"What is wrong then?" Asked the girl sitting down next to him.
"Sasuke is behaving strangely and I don't know what to do." Said Itachi with a huff.
"May I hold him? He might be missing your mother so maybe if a girl held him he would feel better." Suggested Izumi, Itachi wasn't sure, but he was willing to do anything to get Sasuke o behave a little normal so he handed him over.
That was the wrong thing to do because as soon as Sasuke left Itachi's arms he started crying his head off: Itachi was fast to take him back and started to calm him down. The eldest son of Fugaku and Mikoto was now sure that something was wrong with Sasuke: he was worried, but would talk with his parents about how he was behaving as soon as he could.
End flashback.
A/N: HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL IN NEXT CHAPTER! Ok so we only saw a brief resume of three months of Sasuke's life, but I left it there because I wanted to make a chapter about how Sasuke deals with the Kyuubi attack and what this means for Naruto.
