It's night.

I felt crows surround me, feeling someone to be watching my every move. Kinda fast tho, seems like he have a familiar aura coming out of him. Nii-san? Now that just made me even more suspicious and cautious..

I walked inside saw dead bodies, Dead bodies that belong to my now deceased aunt and uncle. Even if I am calm inside, I am panicking outside. Literally different right? I am doing the exact opposite of what was supposed to be but that's who I am and I need to keep up with my 'innocent' facade.

I walked further in, going upstairs "shakingly" opening the door towards the room of Father and Mom but what I saw is My complete Family together, with mom dead and Father standing at the doorstep of death as my brother starts to plunge his katana in him.. "Nii-san? W-w-what are you--?" I was cut off from my act when realization hits me like a wind. He was the one who killed them all.. how? What? Why? Why would he do this? The now plunged katana at my Father is what pushed him to dead now staring deadly at me with death eyes. I stared towards the culprit staring right at his eyes as it shoned the Mangekyou Sharingan that for sure still ain't perfect. I felt my eyes shifted as well and as the staring contest started, he actually tried using tsukuyomi towards me but with a mysterious reason I countered it with my own.

Looking straight right through his eyes, showing him what he planned on doing to me. I already knew him on the spot, with him trying to provoke me to killing him. As I did so, I started moving my hands towards his weapon pouch. Trying to look for some evidences to prove my own brother's innocence.

That is when I pulled out a scroll seeing his mission. Struggling to keep my eyes open, my stamina slowly dispersing as I knew in any minute he would snap back to reality I placed back in his weapon pouch the scroll and everything moved in slow motion, trying to put the act out as he slowly snapped back to reality with me slowly falling down the floor, with a thud I weakly whisphered. "I.. will k-kill yo-u I- itac-chi." And I soon met the darkness.

I stirred awake as I slowly noticed the ninjas cleaning the whole compound as I myself is in a stretcher probably be brought towards the hospital, I think? Not before glancing towards the dead bodies covered in blankets.

I saw glimpses of the civilians looking towards my still tired figure with pity. Children has their eyes covered by their parents and the others going back towards their homes. I slowly started to go back to the oblivion when I saw a blonde haired child that looked like the same age as me ,but unlike them he looked towards me with understanding as if he went through the same experience and that he already knows what I will be going through after this event as well being alone. Once again, I am sucked in by the darkness.

I opened my eyes as I hear the soft beeping sounds beside me, scanning the whole place with my Irises as I saw Hokage-sama himself along with the other ANBU guards that surround us.

"My boy, how are you feeling?" The Hokage asked as I slowly started to sit up. "Tired sir, but aside from that I am fine." The Hokage sighed he saw my cold eyes looking straight at him and that is when he asked about other things like "Are you stable enough to go back there or should you just take a different place to stay for now?" I would've accepted the first choice to go on further about my own investigation when I remembered the bodies and my Parent's dead gazes at me, That's what got me to choose the latter.

"Alright then, do you need anything else Sasuke-kun?"

"If it's not a bother could I atleast take my other stuffs back at the compound, Hokage-sama? But I wished that my furnitures were quite different from the ones at the compound."

"I understand please take better care of yourself from now on and that I think you need to heal yourself for now. " I nodded as I started to stare at the window which looked quite interesting now.

After sometime they left, I started to drift off to sleep again my thoughts moving to the back of my mind to help me calm for now. Just for now.

2 weeks has passed and here I am, moving towards the assigned apartment for me. It was quite big if I may say so myself. People or rather civilians started to, I don't know actually worship me or something? People really needs to stop doing that just to get my hand for their daughters in marriage.

I sighed as I neared my apartment , I just got home from a sea of civilians at the market. I saw the blonde kid again. His child-like actions and the others gazes of hate towards him. I wonder why? Why would they hate a kid so much? Why would they worship someone like me so much? While that kid didn't look like he did anything with a cure grin adoring his face.

Wait, what now? Urgh, I need to stop thinking about that! I have to think about why my brother did that! Who gave him the mission? The Hokage? Or are their others that lead the ANBU corps?

My thought was cut straight though, when I saw the kid that flooded my mind earlier. But what I saw from earlier is different from what I am seeing right now. His child-like features was changed with a mature one, adoring gaze was now with a focused one, the one with an actual thought in mind he was like he isn't a child at all despite his dorky figure because of the suit. He looks kinda cool despite that freaky jumpsuit.

Wait, what now? Again? Tsk.

Suddenly our eyes came in contact his focused one staring straightly towards my thoughtful one as a pink shade started to creep upon my cheeks. He hurriedly looked away with somewhat a forced grin and got inside what looked like his apartment, that is when I felt like I'm hit by a train of realization once again now just knowing that, he lives right next my own apartment.

Oh my life.

I sighed as I myself got inside my own.

The next day, I got up from my bed as I walked towards my kitchen constantly reminding myself some of the stuffs I forgot to get from the store yesterday. Great, now I will have to head over to the store again later after breakfast which is a simple egg rolls and riceballs. I am really glad that I know how to cook, thanks mom for that.oh come on I have to focus today!

I started to walk outside my door when I saw him again, walking towards his Apartment with bags in his hands that looked like cup ramen? But now he looked loke he was conversing with someone or something. "It's rude to stare you know?" I was caught off guard as he started opening his door towards his own apartment. "Oh, sorry." I replied, that made him looking like a gaping fish. Fuck, now I want to laugh but that would be rude.

"W-what did you say?"

Now that made me sigh. "I said I was sorry, I am not a stone you know. I have manners too." That is when for the first time in my lonely life , I heard a genuine laugh. "Oh gosh their 'Oh so great!' Uchiha apologized to me." I rolled my eyes at that.

"Now that was quite rude too, You know my name while I don't know what's yours."

"My name is Naruto. Uzumaki Naruto." I slowly felt my own lips form a smile that left him frozen there as I started to walk away.

"Nice to meet you then, Naru."
