Chapter 18: Faded pictures in a broken glass part 3
Lee tiredly walked in to Naruto’s apparent, yawning as he looked around for any signs of people. “Where is everybody?” Lee said to himself, silently listening for the sounds of voices. He heard what he was looking for and it led him to Naruto’s bed room where it seemed like everyone was waiting.
“Uh…Hi guys.”
Everyone gave him some sort of sound to acknowledge him. Lee sat down next to Shikamaru, giving him a small kiss. “What am I missing?” He asked.
“I’ll tell you later.” Shikamaru said, laying his head lazily on his shoulder.

Naruto opened his eyes and sat up, looking towards his bed from the ground. Sasuke was gone, he’d left before he woke up. With a small shrug Naruto looked towards his alarm clock, 7:45. ‘I better get ready for school.’
! - ! - !
Sasuke trudged with a hint of depression through rain in to school, he had no other place to go…and he wasn’t quite ready to go back to his house yet. He could image what it’d be like, they’d have to call in another Police department from another part of the city since the Uchiha family made up 80% of this one.
He knew that the media was having a field day, News reporters from all over the country were at his house right now. A big investigation was taking place and just about everyone was looking for any surviving Uchiha family members. If the…No, when the media found out he was still alive they would swarm him like locust, then he’d be put through an integration…err questioning about what happened.
He couldn’t deal with that right now, he had to go someplace where he could avoid it at lest for a moment. How long his isolation from that last was uncertain.
A walked in to his silent class room late, but everyone was quiet out of disbelief, not order. Sasuke sat down in his seat, resting his hand in his hands and looking toward the head of the class room.
“Sasuke!” And it started, by the teacher of course. “I heard what happened, are you alright?!” Sasuke didn’t know if this was real sympathy or just because he was an Uchiha, a little of both maybe.
“I’m fine.” Sasuke said, he knew he was lying, but they weren’t really paying attention to his answers anyway. The whole class was just eager to show there sympathy in hopes that they could become friends with him while he was vulnerable. ’Just shut up! Leave me alone.’
Sasuke looked around through the sea of faces and voices all trying to ’comfort’ him. His eyes drifted on to Naruto at the back of the room, his head down on top of his arms. He was the only one not obsessively try to give his condolences at every free chance during class. Naruto glanced down at him, noticing that he was watching him.
Sasuke found his last straw of sanity seeing that Naruto wasn’t doing what everyone else was doing, one person. Naruto smirked, seeing that the boy continued to watch him just so he didn’t have to look at anybody else, so he didn’t have to deal with them. But unfortunately the whole class saw this since everything was being Sasuke centered, and they took it the completely long way.
“Naruto! I can’t believe you.” The teacher shouted, “You would provoke Sasuke even after all he’s been through?!”
“What? I wasn’t provoking anyone.” Naruto said in his defense, finding the whole class was glaring at him fiercely.
“Yeah! Can’t you see he’s depressed right now!” One of the student’s yelled, the girl from yesterday that he ‘bumped’ into.
“Leave him alone you idiot!” Another person yelled.
Sasuke looked up at him and shrugged in a I-know-it’s-not-your-fault-why-the-hell-are-they-messing-with-you type look. “I’m sorry you have to deal with this, even after what just happened to you.” The teacher said. Sasuke glared at her but she didn’t seem to notice how mad he was getting.
“Naruto go to detention, you’re a horrible person.” The teacher said. Naruto knew there was no use fighting it, he was starting to lose that will to fight he had because of how hopeless it was. The boy only walked out of the class angrily, slamming the door behind him.
Sasuke looked around at the class who was back to giving him sympathy and apologies for Naruto’s behavior. ‘I can’t stand this any more!’ Sasuke stood up abruptly from his desk and walked toward the door.
“Where are you going Sasuke?” The teacher asked.
“I need to be alone.”
“I understand, That Naruto should be expelled, I’m sorry he got you so agitated. Take as much time as you need--”
Sasuke glared at her again then walked out while she was still talking, slamming the door harder then Naruto did.
! - ! - !
“Naruto!” Sasuke called out, the boy hadn’t gotten too far and he was able to catch up. “Are you really going to go to detention for something that wasn‘t your fault?”
“And what other choice do I have?” Naruto said, obviously still mad. “Every damn time!” He punched the wall angrily, leaving a crack behind.
Sasuke shook his head, “Don’t go.” He said, sitting down in the hallway against the wall.
“?” Naruto looked at him for a second…then finally shrugged and sat down on the wall opposite of him.
! - ! - !
Sasuke shoved his hands in his pocket and walked down the rain soaked steps of his school. Happy to feel the sunshine that had finally come back. He’d left early to avoid seeing any of the students, figuring he had to go home sometime so he might as well have done so now.
Trying his best to avoid anyone he walked back to his home, finding it just as he expected. News reporters everywhere, all around a boundary set up by the police while they investigated everything. News helicopter circled, about 6 or so of them. And all of them were reporting live, the media must of thought this was gold.
Taking deep breath he walked towards his home, as soon as he got close the reports surrounded. Hearing them say a surviving Uchiha just surfaced in one way or another. He ignored them and kept walking, slipping past the police barrier and walking into the house.
An investigator quickly sat him down in the living room for questioning. “I know this is hard for you, but I’m going to have to ask you some questions ok?” The man was talking to him like he was a 4 year old, this was new.
“Don’t patronize me, I’m not a baby.” Sasuke said annoyedly.
“Sorry kid, well anyway. Did you see what happened?”
“My brother, Itachi, he killed everyone…” Sasuke felt tears burning in his eyes when he thought about it…
“You must have saw it incorrectly, Itachi didn’t do this.”
“What! I SAW HIM!”
“I told you, you must have seen it wrong. We’ve gathered video tape from security cameras in the area, I’ll show you a few.” The man got up and began talking to an officer, Sasuke watched him angrily. How could he possibly question what he saw?! It was a fact that Uchihas had some of the sharpest eye sight in the world.
The man returned and put a tape in to a VCR hooked to the TV. “Alright watch closely.” The man said pointing to the upper right side of the screen where it Itachi was. He of course had that gun in his hand, and was running past what appeared to be his uncle, and there also appeared to be a man behind Itachi that looked as if he was perusing him. But most of his face was in shadowed.
The man had a gun aiming it at Itachi, it appeared that the man shot his uncle instead of Itachi, But Sasuke knew better. With his sharp eyes, and a wide screen plasma TV, Sasuke could see past the shadow and tell that that man perusing Itachi was his father. And being his brother, Sasuke knew Itachi’s gun was built with a concealed silencer in the barrel of it.
Itachi timed it so he was running past a person just as his father was taking a shot, so he’d shoot the person and it would appear that his father did. Knowing Itachi, he probably got the angles of entry for his bullets to look remotely like his father did it. And there wouldn’t be any evidence for the forensics to trace, he was just too damn smart.
“As you can see, Itachi was running from the gun man.” The investigator said, Sasuke found the thought of Itachi running from anyone laughable. Especially since he was the head of the S.W.A.T Team and one of if not the best in Konoha, but Itachi made it seem plausible. Once again he was just too damn smart.
“No! That’s not what happened!” Sasuke shouted.
“Sorry kid.” The man probably thought that Sasuke was traumatized, still in shock maybe.
“No! ITACHI DID! WHY WONT YOU LISTEN TO ME!” Sasuke yelled, he didn’t even know the point of this questioning if they didn’t take the answers the didn’t like.
“I’ll finish after you’ve had time to take it all in.” The man said getting up and walking, Sasuke held his head and bit back a scream. If one more person tried to Sympathize he wouldn’t be able to--
“How are you holding up?”
“AAAAAAHHHHHHAHHH!”
! - ! - !
“Huh?” Naruto put down his cup raman when he heard a knock at the door. ‘Who could this possibly be? And why would they becoming here?’
Naruto opened to door to see a depressed Sasuke standing there. “I…can’t go back to that house…I can’t deal with those people…This is the only place I could go…” Sasuke felt like he was about to go insane, the last place he wanted to be was at his house.
Naruto looked at him questingly, ‘Why would he want to come back here?’ Naruto thought about it for a second…Sasuke had been relatively different towards him over the course of the day, he was the only in class…or Konoha that wasn’t turning against him…except for maybe Iruka. With a shrug Naruto let him in.
“Want some raman?” Naruto offered.
Sasuke looked down at his stomach, he hadn’t eaten since yesterday. The boy nodded gratefully.
! - ! - !
After that Sasuke never really did go back home, Naruto was the only actual friend he had. They constantly argued every day, there personality were just too different not to conflict. But it wasn’t a bad thing, every time they argued they forgot about everything else. Any anger and frustration Naruto was feeling about living in a place that hated him, and Sasuke about all of the completely fake people around him and the fact that everyone he loved was killed by the person he used loved most.
After about 2 weeks, he started to wounded why people were more fake and tried to bend over backwards to do anything to get in good with him. His family was dead, there was no one left to impress. But he soon found out.
Naruto and Sasuke walked into what now seemed appropriately their home. Sasuke had received a large yellow envelope in the mail…which one of his extremely eager to please members of his fan club delivered to him. He wasn’t to happy about people going through his mail…
He sat down on the bed and began opening it with Naruto standing over his shoulder. He pulled out a stack of legal papers from the office of Mizuki Daitoppa, “What is this?” Sasuke laid the papers on the bed and spread them out, looking over each of them.
“It looks like Wills…” Naruto picked a few of them. “From everybody in the Uchiha family!”
There was a letter from Mizuki himself, a legal adviser who was the first to take up the case. “This guy…he says that since I’m the only remaining member of the Uchiha family that I get all of the family’s assets.”
“Itachi must have left town…” Naruto said, looking over the second page of the wills where each members possessions were listed. Everybody who left behind wills…which was everyone in the family…things, including funds, were transferred to Sasuke. All of it was summed up in Mizuki’s letter.
“In total I get….55.9 million dollars after taxes….Plus property and possessions, and all of the family’s real estate.” Sasuke said, he didn’t sound happy about it. Naruto was smart enough to know that this wasn’t a thing to be celebrated.
Sasuke held his head down…more tears started to burn at his eyes. It was almost as if none of this officially happened until today, this was the last bit of his family, all of it was in his hand…Sasuke felt Naruto ’s arms wrap around him in a warm embrace, he couldn’t help but burry his face in to his chest.
He wouldn’t let himself cry anymore though, even if he was tempted too. Sasuke let himself stay there, thinking about everything. “It’s not official…I have to clam it, and I’d need a legal guardian to do it.”
“Who would you have in mind, everybody would be willing.” Naruto said.
“I don’t want to be anywhere near these people…I want to stay here…” Sasuke buried his face deeper into Naruto’s chest
Naruto looked down at him curiously, he would never admit it but Sasuke was right, they’d grown too attached to each other. “What are you going to do?”
“I could get someone to be my guardian, but they’d get the money. I don’t want the last of my family in the hands of these greedy people…Or I could try for an emancipation, that’d way I’d get everything…but it’s a long shot.”
“If you want to go for a legal guardian, I know just the guy. He’s not greedy or anything.”
Sasuke looked up at him. “Who?”
---------------
“How did this happen?” Iruka sighed, walking into Mizuki’s office with Naruto and Sasuke. Directly from work, he was still in his Air Force uniform. The ranking system here was different, but still the same as the past. The first level of being a ninja there was going into the regular Army here. They were the ones that did all the menial task, just like Genins.
From there they went to either the Air force or Navy, or like in Sasuke’s case to the Police academy (Police academy was an advanced Genin). The paths differed slightly, Navy was the easiest to get in to, then the Police force was in the middle. Air Force was the hardest to be accepted in, leaps and bounds over the Police force.
Then after that, the Air Force and The navy went to higher ranks of their field, such as a Commander. It was much harder to become and Air Force commander then one of the Navy. The police force again was in the middle with S.W.A.T., which was about at the same level as some being accepted into the Air Force.
Then the S.W.A.T team went up to the Bomb squad or Special forces, Bomb squad was about at the level of a Navy Commander and Special forces was a little higher then Air Force commander.
“Thanks Iruka, it would have been a lot harder with out you.” Naruto said, following behind him and Sasuke to the small office where three chairs lay in front of the desk where Mizuki was waiting.
Mizuki looked at Naruto, with obvious distaste “What is he doing here?”
“I want him here.” Sasuke growled protectively, glaring at the man for a minute. Iruka lent down and whispered into his ear.
“This guy is two-faced, he’s probably going to try and get your money so pay attention.”
The three sat down. “Alright let’s get strait to the point, I’m sure you read my letter and you’re here to clam the Uchiha inheritance. There is some legal details to it, you can’t clam it yourself--”
“We know, He’s going to be my guardian.” Sasuke said.
“Alright, I’ll get the paper work on that started. Iruka, your going to have to fill this out.” Mizuki had everything ready, the papers were waiting on his desk. Iruka started to fill the necessary forms out while Mizuki then handed Sasuke another paper “You’ll need to sign this or else everything become property of Konoha.”
Mizuki handed him a pin and pointed to the doted line. “Wait a minute, let me see those papers.” Iruka intruded, taking the contract from Sasuke’s hand.
“There’s no need for that, I made sure everything was in order already.” Mizuki did.
“Yeah, you sure did.” Iruka looked up at him. “30% of everything seems a little ambitious even for you.”
“That’s just legal fees and--”
“I’m not stupid Mizuki, I wont let you cheat him out of his money.” Iruka looked down at the paper, besides the 30% Mizuki was also trying to get them with fine print of other details. “You are really greedy.”
“Everything in that contract is justified, Konoha law 1.83.03 states--”
“I know what the law states.” Iruka said, ripping up the contract. “You know we don’t have to close this deal with you, there are plenty of others in this city.”
Mizuki started to get nervous, “Then why are you still here.”
“I’m going to make a deal. Cut out all the fine print and you get 2%.” Iruka said firmly, leaving no room for negotiations.
“2%? The regular Minimum is 10%.”
“That’s just a guideline not the requirement. Take it or leave it.”
“Everyone else is going to charge you at lest 10%.”
Iruka smirked “That maybe true, but If we go to someone else you don’t get anything. And a greedy person like your self would take what they could get.”
Mizuki swore to himself silently. “Fine.”
“Wow, Go Iruka.” Naruto said admiringly.
! - ! - !
“Alright Sasuke, everything is yours. I’ll go through the legal processes to get you full ownership, I’m sure you don’t want to be bothered with it.” Iruka said.
“Your not going to try and keep any?” Sasuke asked.
“I already have as much money as I need, it’d be no point in trying to take some of yours. You deserve it.” Iruka said, starting to walk off.
“See ya Iruka.” Naruto waved.
“Goodbye Naruto, Sasuke.”
The two watched the man’s fleeing form “I told you he wasn’t selfish.” Naruto said proudly.
! - !- !
! - ! - !
“So how much money do you have?” Lee asked.
“The same amount I named.” Sasuke said, closing his eyes. That training process was tiring.
Lee looked over towards Shikamaru. “Come on, I want to show you some of the city. This place is amazing.” He grabbed Shikamaru by the waist before he could protest and lifted him on to his feet.
“I don’t have any other choice do I?” He sighed, letting himself be led by an excited Lee.
Konohamaru watched the two leave, looking over at the clock, 10:00 in the morning. “I’d better get going, my grandfather is probably worried” The boy lifted himself off the bed, seeing that Sasuke had already fallen asleep. “See ya Naruto.”
“I’ll see you later.”

“Thanks Iruka, it would have been a lot harder with out you.” Naruto said, following behind him and Sasuke to the small office where three chairs lay in front of the desk where Mizuki was waiting.
Mizuki looked at Naruto, with obvious distaste “What is he doing here?”
“I want him here.” Sasuke growled protectively, glaring at the man for a minute. Iruka lent down and whispered into his ear.
“This guy is two-faced, he’s probably going to try and get your money so pay attention.”
The three sat down. “Alright let’s get strait to the point, I’m sure you read my letter and you’re here to clam the Uchiha inheritance. There is some legal details to it, you can’t clam it yourself--”
“We know, He’s going to be my guardian.” Sasuke said.
“Alright, I’ll get the paper work on that started. Iruka, your going to have to fill this out.” Mizuki had everything ready, the papers were waiting on his desk. Iruka started to fill the necessary forms out while Mizuki then handed Sasuke another paper “You’ll need to sign this or else everything become property of Konoha.”
Mizuki handed him a pin and pointed to the doted line. “Wait a minute, let me see those papers.” Iruka intruded, taking the contract from Sasuke’s hand.
“There’s no need for that, I made sure everything was in order already.” Mizuki did.
“Yeah, you sure did.” Iruka looked up at him. “30% of everything seems a little ambitious even for you.”
“That’s just legal fees and--”
“I’m not stupid Mizuki, I wont let you cheat him out of his money.” Iruka looked down at the paper, besides the 30% Mizuki was also trying to get them with fine print of other details. “You are really greedy.”
“Everything in that contract is justified, Konoha law 1.83.03 states--”
“I know what the law states.” Iruka said, ripping up the contract. “You know we don’t have to close this deal with you, there are plenty of others in this city.”
Mizuki started to get nervous, “Then why are you still here.”
“I’m going to make a deal. Cut out all the fine print and you get 2%.” Iruka said firmly, leaving no room for negotiations.
“2%? The regular Minimum is 10%.”
“That’s just a guideline not the requirement. Take it or leave it.”
“Everyone else is going to charge you at lest 10%.”
Iruka smirked “That maybe true, but If we go to someone else you don’t get anything. And a greedy person like your self would take what they could get.”
Mizuki swore to himself silently. “Fine.”
“Wow, Go Iruka.” Naruto said admiringly.

“Alright Sasuke, everything is yours. I’ll go through the legal processes to get you full ownership, I’m sure you don’t want to be bothered with it.” Iruka said.
“Your not going to try and keep any?” Sasuke asked.
“I already have as much money as I need, it’d be no point in trying to take some of yours. You deserve it.” Iruka said, starting to walk off.
“See ya Iruka.” Naruto waved.
“Goodbye Naruto, Sasuke.”
The two watched the man’s fleeing form “I told you he wasn’t selfish.” Naruto said proudly.

“So how much money do you have?” Lee asked.
“The same amount I named.” Sasuke said, closing his eyes. That training process was tiring.
Lee looked over towards Shikamaru. “Come on, I want to show you some of the city. This place is amazing.” He grabbed Shikamaru by the waist before he could protest and lifted him on to his feet.
“I don’t have any other choice do I?” He sighed, letting himself be led by an excited Lee.
Konohamaru watched the two leave, looking over at the clock, 10:00 in the morning. “I’d better get going, my grandfather is probably worried” The boy lifted himself off the bed, seeing that Sasuke had already fallen asleep. “See ya Naruto.”
“I’ll see you later.”
