Chapter 16: Faded Pictures in a broken glass
It was the next morning. Lee…not exactly sure which one, called from Lee’s house and said he’d stay over and be back in the morning so Shikamaru wasn’t too worried. Sasuke stayed at the Police department overnight, little did he know it was Kakashi testing them on reaction time by waking them up in the middle of the night and giving orders.
Konohamaru curled a little closer to Naruto, looking out steadily out of window with half-lidded eyes. Naruto was behind him with his arms wrapped around him sleeping peacefully, they’d fallen asleep that way because Konohamaru managed to cry himself to sleep last night and had a tight hold on Naruto. Instead of pulling him off and waking him up Naruto allowed himself to fall asleep in this position.
Shikamaru had fallen asleep at the side of the bed, his back resting against it and his head on the mattress. Hearing Konohamaru stir and feeling the soft vibrations under his head managed to wake him up. “Konohamaru?” Shikamaru called out blindly.
“Huh?” Konohamaru said sleepily, not moving and inch from the comfortable spot.
“Are you alright?”
“Yeah…I’m ok. I can’t believe I cried all day yesterday…”
“I can.” Naruto said, letting go of Konohamaru and rolling from his side on to his back. “Your parent’s died and you had to find out through the TV at the same time as everyone else in Konoha.”
Konohamaru shook his head, “Shouldn’t have cried like that.”
Naruto opened his eyes and looked towards the boy, “Why not?”
“Because…I…”
“Y ou want to be like Sasuke?” Shikamaru interrupted.
“Well…he never cried and he’s strong and cool. He turned out great.” Konohamaru said.
Naruto snorted, “Is that what you think? First, he only acted like that only since you could remember. And he’s not like that all of the time. Second, He cried a lot.” Naruto’s voice became solemn when he said the last part.
Konohamaru turned towards him, “No way.” Konohamaru seriously didn’t believe him.
Looked like Naruto would have to show him, He climb off the bed and walked over to his dresser. Going into the second drawer from the top and reaching under his cloths on the left side. He pulled out a picture and handed it to Konohamaru, it was of Naruto and Sasuke, only they were a little younger then Konohamaru was. Sasuke looked angry and sad while Naruto had his arm over his shoulder apparently trying to cheer him up.
“Huh? When was this?”
“A few years ago.”
“Why dose Sasuke look so sad?”
“It’s a long story.”
“I wanna here it.” Konohamaru sat up.
“Alright…”

A young Sasuke no more then 5 or 6 walked up the lawn the Uchiha a mansion, book bag and hand as he traveled up the stairway and opened the large oak doors into the foyer. A large room with two stairways along the left and right wall leading up to a balcony that connected to the hallway on the second floor. Strait ahead under the balcony was a small hall, closet on the left wall and a bathroom on the right, leading to the living room.
The floors were white marble with red carpet, matching white furniture surrounding a coffee table in front of a 64’ plasma TV mounted on the wall. All under an elegant chandler that had to cost at lest 10,00 dollars, the Uchiha family was a prosperous one.
It was his countless consecutive day at military school, where all of Konoha’s young hopefuls went in an attempt to become apart of the Leaf’s army force. Where Itachi had gone and graduated from with in a year and who was currently working on raising from the Konoha’s S.W.A.T team into the Special Forces where the best of all of the Leaf resided. To climb up the ranks and become on of the best, but the climb was a tough and tedious one that Sasuke was ready to embark on.
Sasuke dropped his book bag on the couch, walking past his father’s study which was connected to the living room. The sound of his father’s voice made him stop and intrigued to listen.
“I’m proud of you, you’ve gotten this far since becoming apart of the S.W.A.T team. Tomorrow you have a special mission, if you pass this you will be officially enlisted in the Leaf’s special forces.”
Sasuke smirked at his brother’s accomplishments, he wanted to be just like him. To gain the attention and approval he received from everyone else and most importantly his parents. To them, Sasuke was just someone on the side, their main focus was Itachi. He didn’t mind so much mainly because how close he was to his brother, even if Itachi was the king of procrastination.
It was always “Maybe next time Sasuke.” along with a poke on the head. Sasuke found himself sub consciously rubbing that same spot on his forehead.
“And that’s why I’ve decided to go with you, Our mission will become an important event for our Family.” Itachi’s mission quickly became his father’s with those simple words. Itachi’s mind was at work…. “So what are the details of the mission?”
There was a short silence, “Well, I can’t say…it’s an absolutely secret mission.”
There was another small pause, “Itachi. You’re the backbone that connects this family to the village, you have to be a useful connection. You understand that, right?” Sasuke didn’t understand the nature of father’s sudden firmness when Itachi told him the mission couldn’t be discussed. But he thought nothing of it, there was always a conversation like this between Itachi and his father.
“Yeah.”
Sasuke shrugged and moved on, he had a big test tomorrow.

Sasuke arrived on time at school as usual, taking his seat and unpacking his things. As most everywhere he went, he heard other’s talking about him behind his back. He heard the voice of a young girl but didn’t turn around when she said his name because he knew she was talking to someone next to her.
“Sasuke is Itachi’s brother right, He’s probably really cool just like his brother.”
“Yeah he’s so awesome, and cute!”
It always went like that, girls absolutely loved him and hung off everything he said no matter what it was. The guys looked up and adored him, and the teachers loved him because he was Itachi’s brother. He hated it, it was so annoying.
The bell started ringing just as a boy walked in, none other then Naruto who opened the door to find the Teacher standing there with her arms folded. “Why am I not surprised your late?” The woman said annoyedly. Naruto wasn’t actually late, he’d came in just as the bell rang, soaking wet from having to walk in the rain.
“Huh?! I wasn’t late!” Naruto shouted, wiping the water from his forehead with his arm.
“Take your seat before you cause anymore disruptions.” The woman said, Naruto only quietly walked past here, from his seat at the front of the class Sasuke could see an angry look on his downcast face. But he could also see him frantically tying to hide that emotion while he held his head down, hiding whatever he was feeling behind a casual grin before lifting it again.
Once again he heard the two girls behind him start talking.
“Naruto is such an idiot, he always has that stupid look on his face.”
“Yeah, I hate that loser.”
Why everyone hated him was unknown, all of the adults seemed to and they gave that same hate to their kids. Everyone encouraged their kids to stay way from him, in fact they forced them to. Including Sasuke who also didn’t particularly like Naruto, his parents said “You’re an Uchiha, you shouldn’t be associating with some one like him.”
Naruto was the only person that wasn’t impressed with him, he didn’t hang off every word or particularly like him back. But watching him walk past he couldn’t help thinking how bad his life was. Sasuke realized that no feelings of annoyment or slight neglect could ever compare to anything Naruto must have felt every day.
Sasuke was so busy thinking that he didn’t notice the teacher had pass out report cards for the third quarter.

With an impatient anxiousness Sasuke walked into his father’s study where the man usually resided.. “Father.” He called out, the man turned around from his desk.
“What is it Sasuke?”
Sasuke handed him his report card, waiting silently as his Father read over it. The man looked down at the paper then glanced up at him with a small smile on his face. “Keep this up and become a fine officer like your brother.”
“….” Not exactly the reaction he was hoping for, but one he was starting to expect. why was every thing about him some how associated with Itachi? No one gave him no other notice then wanting him to live up to Itachi’s skill or because he was an Uchiha.
! - !- !
Sasuke arrived at the same time the next day, noting that it was still raining. Taking his seat he silently watched the teacher get ready for today’s class and the other student’s talk among themselves. He didn’t usually elect talk with his other classmates because it was always the same thing every time he did. The girls did nothing but agree with everything he said because he was an Uchiha as if they were incapably of holding their own thoughts, ideas and opinions around him. And the boys just asked about Itachi.
Naruto walked through the door with a small sense of triumph by making it on time for once. He may have been soaking wet but he didn’t care, he seemed to be having a good day. Instead of that usual grin was an actual smile.
Naruto walked past Sasuke just as the girl behind him was going to the front of the class, looking down at a paper and not watching where she was going she bumped into Naruto even though the boy tried to avoid her. “Hey! Watch where your going wet idiot!” The girl yelled.
“What! You bumped in to me!” Naruto shouted back.
“You got my new dress wet.”
“No, You got your new dress wet, this was your fault not mine. Deal with it!” Naruto ignored her and kept walking, only to almost run into the teacher standing there with her arms folded.
“Naruto, it would be like you to lie over something so small even when everyone saw you.”
“Wha! She ran in to me, I tried to get out the way!”
The teacher shook her head, “And you still continue to lie.” She walked over to the person sitting opposite of Sasuke. “Now tell me who ran in to whom?”
The boy of course pointed to Naruto even though he saw other wise, “Naruto ran in to her.”
“I want you to apologize for getting her wet.”
Naruto shook his head in anger, “NO WAY!”
“Fine, you have a detention. Do you want to apologize to her now or should we go for two?” The teacher said with a small smirk on her face.
Naruto turned away with a some slight grumbling, “I’m sorry for running into you.“
“No, A complete apology.” The teacher said.
“I‘m sorry for running into you…and…lying about it.” Naruto said, holding his head down. And just that quickly his good day was ruined.
“Now apologize to the class for the disruption and taking time way from people who actually want to learn.” The Teacher had a full smile on her face now, she was just kicking him while he was down now. She seemed completely contempt to ruin any happiness Naruto was having, and then rub it in.
Naruto sighed, “I’m sorry for wasting the class’s time.”

By the time school was over it was raining again, hard, he was supposed to be getting picked up but no one came. He waited for 20 minutes and no one showed up, deciding to give it 2 more minutes, Sasuke watched his other classmates leave. All of his other classmates had left and he was the only one still here, waiting on the front steps of the school.
All had left except for Naruto, who walked out of the school at that moment after a detention. He seemed to get one everyday for one reason or another so he seemed used to it.
Naruto looked up at the sky, his expression becoming increasingly aggravated as he started to walk home. Compared to Naruto, Sasuke lived relatively close so it wasn’t too much of a walk only 3 miles or so. Naruto had to walk a lot farther.
If Naruto could do it everyday regardless of rain or any other weather, Sasuke figured he could do it and should stop waiting. With that Sasuke got up and started walking in the opposite direction, wondering what could have happened to his ride. He wouldn’t be surprised if his parents had forgotten, but it was better to have parents that forget then to have none at all.
With his hands in his pocket burred in his pockets Sasuke walked toward his home, noticing that the sound of people faded when he got to a curtain point. In fact he hadn’t even heard or seen a car in the last 10 minutes. So when he saw a black truck in the middle of the road he of course looked into it.
“They’re…Dead?!” He saw two people in the car laying dead across each other with a shot to the head. Even worse he recognized them, his Grandmother and Grandfather. “Wha-What happened?!”
Sasuke backed away from the car, looking around frantically for anyone else besides him.
He only saw another person laying dead on the ground, it was his uncle with a similar wound. “No! What’s going on!?” Sasuke kept looking around for anyone, who wasn’t dead. All he came up with was more and more family members.
He stopped when heard a familiar sound in an alley…
