"Why did you two think of drinking?"
"I saw that every time the Pervy Sage is unhappy, he goes to buy alcohol, gets completely drunk, and then gets up the next day to go to work…"
Naruto Uzumaki's answer made Itachi Uchiha's head ache. Well now, the source of the problem had been found.
It was, as expected, Jiraiya-sensei's fault! This old man really didn't know how to raise a child. Fortunately, this kid Naruto was still relatively self-disciplined…
Itachi Uchiha rubbed the little blond boy's hair and asked in a low voice, "Then why were you buying the alcohol? And why would they sell it to you?"
"There isn't a single tavern in the village that dares to sell alcohol to Sasuke. But because I'm the demon fox, they can't wait for me to be far away from them, so they'll sell it to me…"
Itachi let out a light sigh. After he got home, he would have to explain to his father that the Military Police Force should probably shut down a few taverns…
Yes, any tavern that sold alcohol to Naruto could not be spared either.
Itachi Uchiha smoothed Naruto's yellow hair with one hand while speaking in a gentle voice, "Did anything happen at the Ninja Academy today?"
"Nothing special!"
The little blond elementary student scratched his hair, glanced at his companion who was keeping his head down and not daring to make a sound, then leaned in close to Itachi's ear and whispered, "The teacher taught us taijutsu today. Karin was so amazing, she broke a tree at the school with one punch! Sasuke wanted to try too, but he hurt his hand, and a lot of classmates laughed at Sasuke for overestimating himself…"
Itachi Uchiha fell silent. "…"
The physique of the Uzumaki clan was indeed very strong, and with Tsunade's teachings, Karin's taijutsu was certainly a bit better than Sasuke's…
Beside them, Kitahara couldn't help but be amused. It flapped its wings and flew up, landing on a tree. Its sharp claws swiped out!
A large tree was instantly cut into several pieces by the crow's few attacks…
The little brat, who had been silent on the side, his face darkened several shades… That crow by his brother's side—he would get rid of it sooner or later!
He swore it!
"Kitahara!"
The understanding big brother quickly stopped the crow's further provocations towards Sasuke, then turned his head to look at his dejected little brother. He flicked his forehead with a finger. "Sasuke, are you okay?"
Sasuke suddenly raised his head, and with tears in his eyes, he said loudly, "What 'okay'?! Brother, you're always out on missions, and Dad is busy with work every day. Have you ever cared about me at all…"
"My life is even worse than Naruto's! At least he gets to see Lord Jiraiya often, and sometimes Lord Jiraiya even trains with him…"
"Mom often says I have to learn to be considerate of you all, but have you ever thought about my feelings? Every time the clansmen see me, they laugh at me for being the shame of the Uchiha, for having completely disgraced Dad and Brother's faces…"
"I don't want to be your little brother! I don't want to be Dad's son anymore! I shouldn't have been born into the Uchiha clan at all!"
"I hate everyone in this clan!"
"I've had enough of all of this!"
Naruto Uzumaki stared dumbfounded at his crying, emotional companion and patted his shoulder. "…Don't be like that, Sasuke…"
"…I'm sorry, Sasuke. I know I haven't fulfilled my duties as an older brother…"
Itachi Uchiha squatted down, lifted Sasuke's head, and looked calmly into his little brother's eyes. "But I will always be your brother, and I will always stand by your side. That is a fact that no one can change…"
"Dad, Mom, me, Kitahara, we all actually love you very much…" the young Jonin continued softly, "Don't care about what other people think. I believe that Sasuke is the best…"
"Nii-san…"
Sasuke Uchiha was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said, "Once is enough for a lie… You've never known how painful it is to be your little brother, have you?"
"Every morning when I wake up, I have to remind myself that I am Itachi Uchiha's little brother, and I can't disgrace his name. I have to become an outstanding ninja like my big brother…"
"During morning practice, Mom teaches me the Uchiha Shuriken Throwing Technique, and Dad will say, your brother was already extremely proficient in using it when he was three or four years old…"
"During evening practice, Dad supervises my taijutsu practice with a scabbard in hand. He will say that when your brother was six, he could have been promoted to Chunin with just his taijutsu alone…"
"At school, even if I want to be the best, even if I want to get the best grades, whether it's my classmates or my teachers, they all point at me when they see me, because I am your little brother, yet I am still in the Ninja Academy…"
"On the way home, I have to wait every day until there are no clansmen on the streets of the clan grounds, otherwise they will point at me and say that I am the worst child in the Uchiha clan…"
"All of this is because I am Itachi Uchiha's little brother…"
Watching Sasuke grit his teeth, letting the tears stream down his face, Itachi could only remain silent. He didn't know how he had put so much pressure on his little brother… It shouldn't be like this!
Just when he thought his little brother had finished…
Sasuke Uchiha raised his head again and pointed at his own eyes. His pupils had turned a bright red, and a single black tomoe hung within them…
That was the Sharingan…
"Nii-san, do you see?"
Sasuke Uchiha smiled grimly. "I have awakened the Sharingan. A one-tomoe Sharingan, the Sharingan that countless people dream of…"
These were eyes that signified misfortune…
The young Jonin gripped his little brother's shoulders tightly and murmured, "What… on earth happened? Why did you awaken the Sharingan? Did something happen…"
"Nii-san, what are you so surprised about? Even if I've awakened the Sharingan, what's the use of it?" The little brat shook his head with a bitter smile. "Dad told me, at this age, didn't you already have a three-tomoe Sharingan?"
"…That was because of Kitahara…" Itachi stammered, "And, don't become too intoxicated with the power of the Sharingan, Sasuke…"
"I have never cared about these eyes!"
The little brat clenched his fists and roared, "So what if I have these eyes, so Dad can have another reason to scold me? When I went to tell Dad that I had already awakened the Sharingan, he just waved his hand and told me to get lost and go home!"
Naruto Uzumaki tugged at his collar and said softly, "Sasuke… don't be like that… Uncle Fugaku was at work!"
The little blond was crystal clear about this matter. After school, they had run into Karin again. The two had an argument, and just as Sasuke was about to make a move out of provocation from Karin's taunts, he had inexplicably awakened his Sharingan…
Although the little brat now had the Sharingan, he was still beaten up by Karin…
This matter was a great blow to Sasuke's psyche…
But he still went excitedly to wait for his father to get off work, wanting to tell him the good news that he had awakened the Uchiha clan's Kekkei Genkai! He was no longer the shame of the Uchiha!
To awaken the Sharingan at six years old, he could be considered a genius, right?
Unfortunately, Sasuke hadn't considered his appearance…
A bruised and swollen son standing in the Defense Department building—when he was seen by Fugaku Uchiha, the result was predictable… Flaunting a mere one-tomoe Sharingan in front of his old father, wasn't that just asking for a scolding!
And to have the Sharingan and still lose to that little girl Karin, the fact that Fugaku Uchiha didn't physically discipline his son on the spot showed that he was actually being restrained that day…
But in the end, Sasuke did not escape his father's beating…
Sasuke, in his grief, was "counseled" by Naruto, secretly drank the alcohol at home, and caused a drunken scene. That night, he was beaten by Fugaku and ended up in the hospital…
