Sasuke's POV (2 years later. 8 years old.)
I've met Naruko for 2 years now. The academy teaches us things we know, so we talk instead of paying attention to classes (*cough cough* me and issyyehet04 in class *cough*).
She's been coming to my house twice or thrice a week and I stay at her house on weekends and go home on Monday, because her apartment is closer to the academy.
"Kaa-san! I'm off to Naruko's place, alright? I'll come back home on Monday."
"Alright dear! Oh! Have you brought the book you borrowed from her?"
"Yeah! And I brought some snacks too!"
"Alright then. Say goodbye to Itachi and your father first. They're in the backyard."
"Alright." I ran to the backyard to find Itachi feeding the chickens and oto-san reading today's paper.
"Tou-san! Nii-san! I'm off!"
"To where?"
"Naruko's house!"
"Alright then. Send my regards to her, alright?"
"Alright! Bye!" I said, going to the fromt door and putting on my ninja shoes. I put them on and ran as fast as I could to Naruko's house. I reached there in five minutes and I unlocked the door. Oh yeah, after spending a year with her, she decided to give me the duplicate key to her apartment, so I could visit her every time!
"Naruko... where are you?"
"Ah? Sasuke! You're pretty fast today!"
"Yeah! And guess what day it is today?"
"He~ What day?"
"Dobe, check the calender."
"Okay? October 10.... is there something important here?" I facepalmed.
"IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY, DOBE!!!!" I yelled. It took her 7 seconds to process it and 3 seconds to look back at the calender.
"Oh. Ok then."
"Wait, aren't you happy?"
"I guess so?"
"Wait, WHY ARE YOU NOT HAPPY??!!"
"I am, it's just that... no one in the village would remember my birthday because I am the jinchuuriki of the nine tails. Even if they remembered, they would just chase me down and hunt down for me. That's where I got these scars." She explained, lifting the back of her shirt, revealing cuts, bruises and even burn marks.
"Naruko..."
"It's fine. I've gotten used to it. They've been hunting me down ever since I was 4."
"Well. Let's celebrate your proper birthday!"
"Sasuke... no." She glared at me.
"But! It's your birthday and I promise I'll protect you from any villager that would dare hurt you!"
"Jeez. Fine, teme. But, I still am stronger than you-ttebayo!"
"Alright, alright." I sighed in defeat.
"Alright. Where in the goddamn world do you want me to go to on my mostly useless, like Sakura, birthday?"
"Ichiraku of course. Then a walk to the docks. Then I can buy some cake for us."
"Isn't this too fancy? I can agree with Ichiraku, but cake?"
"Why not?"
"Because cake costs like, 2 thousand ryo dattebayo!"
