The Middle Uchiha

Chapter 4

The next morning I stretched before I got out of bed. I changed into my usual outfit and put my leaf headband around my neck as usual. I then brushed my teeth and headed into the kitchen. I should probably apologize to father. I sighed in annoyance. Believe me I love my father, but I wish he would notice his other children not just Itachi. Maybe if I show him some of the new jutsu I have created? But I doubt that would work. I was so into my thoughts that I bumped into something. I looked to see it was my younger brother Sasuke.
I bent down and ruffled his hair.
"Sorry about that Sasuke." I said with a small smile.
"It's okay big sister! I was just heading to breakfast." Sasuke said.
"Well what a coincidence. Me too. Want a piggy back ride?" I asked.
"Yes!" I turned around and Sasuke got on my back as we walked to the kitchen.
"Do you think big brother will train with me after the academy?" Sasuke asked.
"Maybe if you ask." I said.
"But he's always busy." Sasuke said kind of sadly.
"Well that's because Itachi and I are both anbu. But if Itachi can't Sasuke I will. How does that sound?"
"Really?!" Sasuke asked excitedly.
"Of course, your my little brother Sasuke and I'll always make time for you." I said and turned my head slightly to face him with a smile.
"Kootonii, do you really hate father and big brother?" Sasuke asked me surprising me and causing me to stop walking. I didn't realize though that we were right by the kitchen as I was looking down at the ground, and our parents and Itachi were in the kitchen and that they could hear what I was saying.
"No, not really," I started sadly. "It's just, that I feel like father gives all his attention to Itachi, that he sometimes forgets he has other children. But, even though, father may not admit it I'm sure he loves us." I said with a slight smile. I then looked and saw we were near the kitchen, I hoped no one was in there yet, but I was wrong when I walked in with Sasuke on my back. I saw my mother looking at me sadly, I saw my father stern as usual, and concern in Itachi's eyes even though he wouldn't admit it.
"Morning father, mother, brother." I said and crouched down so Sasuke could jump off and he sat by Itachi.
"Morning dear, breakfast is on the table." My mother Mikoto said.
"Thank you mother." I said with a half bow. I sat down on the right of father. We ate in silence as mother sat down next to me.
"Big brother, will you train with me today?" Sasuke asked as usual.
"I can't Sasuke, I have to talk with sister and then I have a mission." Itachi said as usual.
"You always say that." Sasuke whined.
"Don't worry Sasuke. I promised I would train with you and I will after I'm done talking with Itachi since I don't have a mission." I said.
"Thank you sister!" Sasuke said.
I looked at Itachi and I could tell he was a little jealous, but I ignored it. It's not my fault he hasn't been making time for our younger brother.
"Father, I wanted to apologize for my outburst. It was uncalled for. I don't hate you. I guess I was just jealous that Itachi has been getting all of your attention lately." I said.
"You are forgiven. Maybe if you paid attention more you would notice that I showed Sasuke, the great fireball technique."
"Really is that true Sasuke?"
"Yeah! I mastered it after 1 week!" Sasuke said.
"I'm happy for you." I said
"Father, if it's not too much trouble. I would like to show you some jutsu that I have created on my own." I said.
"You created your own jutsu!" Sasuke asked.
"Yes a few actually." I said.
"Can I see?" Sasuke asked excitedly.
"I'll show you after the academy today." I said.
"Okay!" Bye!" Sasuke said and ran off.
"Well, father would you like to see? It would really make me happy to know your opinion. Mother can see too if she would like." I said.
"Very well, after breakfast." My father said. We finished breakfast, I ran to my room and grabbed my fans and my weapon pouch. I grabbed my ninja Sandals and and once I was by the compound entrance I put them on. I went outside to stretch and waited for my parents. Man I hope this goes well.
