"Baby brother, you're pathetic!" Big brother's voice sent chills down my spine, eyes a chilling red- the same shade of scarlet blood splattering the streets.
"If you want to kill me, settle for hating me! Hate me and live, like the coward you are, clinging to live without honour!"
COWARD.
COWARD.
COWARD.
Grotesque, bloody apparitions of Mother and Father appeared in front of me, their bodies hanging limp and their dead eyes hanging out of their sockets.
"Coward!" Mother cried. "Why didn't you defend yourself?"
"I knew you were a burden to the Uchiha clan.. How dare you?" Father roared, bloody spittle flying out of his mouth.
Big brother stared down at me, his long hair flapping in the wind...
Then he disappeared into the night, the full moon glimmering. The cry of a raven's crackly screech filled the air. My eyes could only see red... red...
BEEP...BEEP...BEEP...
I woke up with a start. I could still remember the faces of Mother and Father staring down at me.
"Ugh," I muttered, making my way out of bed to the bathroom. Brushed my teeth. Grabbed the exact pair of shorts and a matching navy top to match.
While tying up my Konoha headband, I heard a voice: "Sasuke! Itachi! Time for breakfast!"
With a grin, I grabbed my arm and leg guards in a hurry to rush downstairs.. But I soon realised that I had been imagining things. Again. It really was pathetic, knowing that you were completely alone, yet, imagining the complete opposite. It had been the millionth time I had fell for it.
'Quit it, Sasuke,' I thought, while downing a bag of cherry tomatoes. 'You're going to become a shinobi. Now act like it."
March 16th- the first day to becoming a full-fledged shinobi. One step closer to avenging my clan, to killing him..
..But a small, miniscule, touchy-feely part of myself wished for Mother, Father and even... big brother himself.
He, who made me like this. It was important that I channeled my vengeance for rebuilding, for avenging my clan.
But... there was that one person, who, for some reason, stuck like glue to the back of my mind...
...Uzumaki Naruto. Part of me thought he was an imbecile, an annoyance who wasted everyone's time. But the other half suspected there was more to the stupid mask he wore.
'But.. Why do you care?' I thought. 'You really should stop worrying about him so much. What is he even to you?'
Try as I might, I wasn't able to answer this question at all.
But now was not the time to think about such trivial things. Besides, Naruto couldn't even pass his graduation exam.
As I grabbed my bag and walked out the door, I muttered a last farewell to my family.
"I'm going to be a real ninja now. Bye, Father, Mother and.... Big brother."

Author's note:
This was my first chapter, and I know it's super cringey. I don't even know why I'm publishing this!
Please give me feedback on how I did, because I am very, very bad at writing.
Thank you!
