#uchiha complex#
Naruto looked around curiously as it was his first time ever to step into the uchiha complex that had been sealed for many years, he had to say that this place must have been very lively and beautiful but now it was very lonely and empty.... ofcourse it was empty....after what had happened  in this place there was no way it could become lively again Naruto couldn't help saying "this place must be so lively and beautiful in the past...." as he said that he realised how stupid he was being and worried that he must have pressed a sensitive nerve in sasuke so he hurriedly looked at the raven haired boy only to see the boy looking at him, his eyes thoughtful as he did so, before sasuke could move his hand Naruto grabbed his whole arm and shook it as he said "let's go to your hou..." Naruto stopped himself in time thinking sasuke would probably feel uncomfortable if he mentioned his house but when he was struck on what to say, sasuke nodded and said "let's go" making the blonde blink in confusion but he followed the raven haired boy anyway.
After walking leisurely for a while they reached in front of a huge gate with the uchiha clan crest drawn on it, sasuke extended his hand touching the huge fans drawn on the wooden gate lightly before pushing it firmly and revealing a cobble stone path leading to a big house, grass in the lawn was trimmed and well cared for, he stared at the house his eyes becoming duller by the moment, he  slowly glanced at the familiar but unfamiliar house and felt a lot of emotions stirring within him, so many memories that he thought he had forgotten slowly played out in his mind, but his face still remained stoic as he took the first step to enter through the gates. Naruto realised where this was as he saw the way sasuke touched the fan symbol and then looked at the house inside, he felt he should have just kept his freaking mouth shut but before he could regret his actions anymore he saw sasuke walking in, so he stopped thinking and followed him in to keep an eye on him.
The house was very spacious and it was very obvious how warm it used to be before the incident happened by all the decorations and the furniture in the house, Naruto walked further and saw sasuke blankly staring into a room, as the door was opened wide he could see inside the room, it was very simple nothing about it made it different from any other room but when he looked at the raven haired boy standing there expressionlessly staring inside he felt uneasy sure enough he heard sasuke saying "that evening when I returned too this eerily silent uchiha compound and weirdly silent house, the house was unusually dark....in this very room I saw my parents....dead..... lying in a pool of their own blood....not breathing at all....just lying there....quietly" when he heard these words Naruto couldn't help but feel numb in his head, how old was Sasuke when he went through that? How much scared or despair must he be feeling at that time?....how much difficult it must have been for him to know that all this was done by his own brother? "Sa.." he wanted to comfort sasuke but he saw sasuke taking a step back and closing the door before saying with the same expressionless face "...that was what happened back then....he should not mind it anymore when we move back" he said in a flat tone which showed no ups or downs in his voice, Naruto found his comforting words struck in his throats and also a worry for Itachi who was still in the hospital, today was the day Itachi was undergoing that surgery as his physical examination had shown much improvement and he met the conditions, Tsunade still wanted to wait for a while longer but Itachi asked her to get the surgery done as soon as possible, Naruto was tasked with keeping sasuke busy, a task given to him by Itachi who worried that sasuke  definately won't let Tsunade do it and would become anxious when he undergoes the surgery. Naruto quickly shook his head stopped thinking about this matter too 'damn all this thinking is making my head hurt, sasuke must have save some god in his past life so he has a friend...no a brother like me dattebayo' he thought as he followed after sasuke and came to the back yard, it was very pretty and looked very inviting, sasuke was sitting down on the floor looking at the tree in the back yard, he looked lost in his thoughts sitting there, he looked... Naruto couldn't describe it exactly....the only word that came to his mind was 'broken, a broken doll....' Naruto never that he would ever use this sentence to describe sasuke in his entire life, that cool looking , handsome and arrogant bastard who always made him(Naruto) want to beat him(sasuke) up Naruto sighed as he saw karin, suigetsu and jugo jumping over the wall of the backyard and land in front of him holding something in their hand "here we got what you wanted" suigetsu handed sasuke a scroll which sasuke accepted and opened, Naruto caught a glimpse of it and saw a picture on it, it looked like a painting of sorts, he couldn't get a proper look and sasuke didn't explain, when he was about to curiously ask about it he heard Sasuke asking "when do you think...his surgery would be over?" This question made Naruto and the other three who also knew freeze, sasuke sounded absent minded as he continued to ask "don't you think aniki was being  to hasty with the operation...what if....what if the probability of the success gets lower?" Naruto slowly moved his gaze from the scroll in sasuke's hands to his face, that face was still calm as he kept his eyes on the tree in the backyard
