"All the years that I've been alive,this was the only time I have actually thought on punching you right now"his fathers voice was deep.So deep that he can feel it rumbling on his throat.
"Father,If you'll jus—"
"Dont defend your brother,Itachi"
The eldest paused on his words.Looking up ahead his little brothers posture sitting infront of their fathers table.
"You disappoint me,you are a disgrace!"his voice was raising above his tone.Fingers clutching each other as the fire on their father's eyes befall.
At the sight of such fury,Itachi put a hand behind her mothers back when she shakens.Mouth covered by her hands as she continue to cry.Muffled sobs was heard but the situation didnt even wave in the slightest.
"Fathe—"
A book was thrown from their distance.Mikoto gasp as the thick leather book slammed as hard on her youngest son's face.Sasuke fall on his knee's.
He bit back his cries.Fugaku slowly standing up,the veins on his eyes was close on bulging.The evident face of disgrace shown as he gaze at the boy.
That he could not even call him as his son.
"You are disgrace to this family,you dont even deserve the Uchiha on your name.You didnt give a reason that you do"
The man kneels infront of his son who was at shock,his body still recovering from the impact.
"Look at you,you're weak!"
A slap resounded and Itachi had to carry his mothers weight when she was close on fainting.She can't bear seeing her son in such situation.
"F-father,please...j-just I'll do what you want..I'll do everything-"
Itachi solemnly gaze at his brother.It was the first time Itachi saw such vulnerability on his brothers face.The expression so beyond his brothers taciturn and closed personality.Seeing him looking like a weakling,who looks like he's close on giving up.
It pains him.
"J-just don't hurt them...d-dont hurt her and her mother..I-I'll do anyth—"
Another slap.But this slap had so much power in it,the way Fugaku had swung his palm,his ring flew from the impact connecting to Sasuke's face.As the boy slumped weakily on the floor.
Knocking him out.
And this time,Mikoto had enough,yelling for his son.She runs at her boy and carried him.Tending to his care as she cries.Itachi following on her lead aswell.
Unbeknownst to them,Fugaku had twisted his foot and flee from the scene.

Third week had passed,and Sakura was slowly adapting to their new environment.After her mother informs her that their flight would be that night after her school,she had no time to bid goodbye's to her friends and some of their close neighbors as the Haruno family flee in the midst of he night.
When they arrived in Sunagakure,the hottest air she had ever felt welcomes her.She wasnt accustomed to such hot weather.But it was still a good place nonetheless.
It wasnt as populated as Konoha,but the town was vibrant.There were many stores,and almost everyone had their vehicles.It was a community full of unity.
Not to mention the people here were kind,they had smiled at them when they walked passed by,the conductor of the bus was also welcoming seeing both tourists visiting their town.
But her mother didnt share the same astonishment as Sakura.It turns out this was her mothers homeland.Mebuki had lived since her childhood here.And she told Sakura that this was the place her father and her met.
Only did they got married that they transferred to konoha,away from their in-laws that was againts of their marriage.But since dad had died and now that this situation had happened.
Mebuki thought it would be a great opportunity to come back.To help her daughter raise her own child as such a young age.
But as a mothers instinct,she will do anything to guide her daughter in this trials of life.
"Mom?"
Mebuki was brought back by her daughters voice.Sakura peered up on her as she continued cutting some vegetables on the counter.
"I know what you're thinking"her daughter said.Her face was gloomy as her eyes stares at the chopped vegetables.
Mebuki's face softens and shook off her thoughts.But when a tears fell on Sakura eyes,she quickly turns off the faucet and dries her hands on her apron.
Quickly embracing her daughter as Sakura cries.
"Its okay sweetie..."
Mebuki took a deep breath.Smoothing her pink hair as she continues on kissing her daughters head.A tears also falling from her eyes.
As Mikoto hugs her sons body closely,sobbing hardly.Her mind was nothing but the thought of how she fails as a mother.
As both mother held the only thing that they have love.They uttered the same phrase.
"Mommy's here"
