Starlight Heart of Merging Soul (kakanaru)

Chapter 9

"Please come in, Sasuke." Offered the blond, didn't notice the bugged eyes that the raven had upon seeing the sight of his house.

After school, Naruto accompany Sasuke to the Uchiha compound to collect his clothes for the sleepover. Thought, the jinchuriki had to wait at the front gate of the clan compound since the Uchihas still wary of his presence. Well...it's not like his fault if the Uchiha still wary of him since they still recovered by the Danzo's action.

When Sasuke came back with a full bag of cloth, Naruto show the young Uchiha to where his house is.

Sasuke had never know where Naruto lives or how he had been living his life so far. All he knew that the blond is an orphan and has been since birth. He also smart and talented, a prodigy by his father's claim. The raven wanted to say that he was jealous, envy of what the blond have. But he felt like he didn't have the right to felt like that because...even he wasn't close with the blond. He can see how hard worker he is and what the blond had gone through.

Before they started the academy, he had sometimes spotted the blond lurking around the village, mostly on the streets. He would also sometimes caught how the villagers treat the blond. How the aura that surrounded the blond turned dark and malicious. How they sneer at him, whispered a bad things about him, call him insulting names.

Sasuke had been wondering if the blond had done something bad to them but all he can see from the blond is a sweet, generous and kind boy that willingly to help others.

So, why the villagers hate him so much?

And the young Uchiha also thought that Naruto probably live in the small, rundown apartment since he was orphan and wasn't from clan that have their wealth in the village and were expect for him to stay in that apartment with the blond for three days. So, understanding his surprise when he didn't expect to see the luxurious house that the blond had brought to him too.

The house was located near the forest, far away from the village and have their own personal training ground. There is also a pool here! Even his own house didn't have one despite coming from the wealthy clan. That's make Sasuke wondering if this house is really the Uzumaki's house or not.

When Naruto realise his friend haven't come in yet, he turned to the young Uchiha neutrally. "Why are you standing there like a fool? Come in already." he nonchalantly said.

Sasuke snap his head and stared at the blond jinchuriki in wonder, "Whose house is this, Naruto?" he boldly asked and come inside. Naruto blinked at the raven rapidly and tilted his head, "My house of course...What? You didn't expect for me to live in the luxury, don't you?" he snarked at the Uchiha lightly.

Sasuke jolted lightly, feeling like he was caught. "No? I mean, yes?" he sighed. "Sorry. I was told that you were an orphan. So I thought that you would be living in a small apartment with barely enough space for two people or the house that you inherit from your parents." he sheepishly admit.

Naruto huffed, "I've once live in that kind of environment. A rundown apartment, a small room that barely enough for two people to live in. But with how the villagers treat me and how they barging into my place and ruin everything that I possessed, I'll decided that I've had enough. It took me two years to save money and buy this house, so I can get away from the villagers hatred." The blond honestly said and Sasuke eyes widened when he heard that.

"And for my parents house, I won't be inherit it until I'll turn Chunin. Thought, I won't be living there since this is my home now." He nonchalantly said and the two walked deep into the house to the living room.

When Sasuke saw the inside the house, he was fascinated at the sight of it. The room was livid in, where a sunlight basking in, a light coloured wall making the atmosphere of the house more homie and Sasuke like this kind of environment.
