Sasuke notices that now a days the relation between Itachi and the other Uchiha clan members are not going well, even their father was not happy with Itachi. There is always a tense atmosphere in the house.
< Sasuke's POV >
'What is happening in the clan? I don't understand. Everyone is behaving bad with big brother. Should I ask my big brother about it?'
While I was thinking about it some Uchiha's from the police force came looking for big brother. They are saying Shisui-nii died and big brother is the one who did it or maybe he knows something and is not telling them.
'How could that be? Shisui-nii is so strong and he's the best friend of big brother. He, definitely didn't do that.'
While I was thinking that big brother threw a kunai at the clan symbol and become angry. When I looked at his eye, I feel scared. His eyes have changed. But he's still my big brother. I believe in him. Even if no one believes him, I will believe in him till the end.
< POV ends >
Somedays went by,
Today Sasuke was very happy because Itachi has promised him that he will wait for him at their training place after his academy and train him.
He woke up at morning got ready for the Academy. Then he went to the academy cheerfully.
Today the first class was friendly duel. Everyone went to the grounds of the academy for the friendly battle.
For the last battle Iruka Sensei called Naruto and Sasuke to come forward,
"Make the friendly sign and shake each other's hand."
"Now make some distance."
After they had made some distance, Iruka sensei said,
"Start on the count of 3. 1...2…..3"
At the count of 3, Naruto and Sasuke dashed towards each other. Naruto grinned and yelled,
"Today I will beat you Sasuke and I will prove that I am better than you."
Sasuke just 'hmphed' and didn't say anything.
Naruto punched towards Sasuke's face, but Sasuke ducked and kicked towards Naruto's legs and Naruto fell down, embarrassing himself.
Naruto got up and started running around Sasuke again. This time Sasuke stands still and was waiting for Naruto to make the move.
Naruto at one time jumped high and sent a kick towards Sasuke's head but Sasuke caught his leg and sent him towards the ground by kicking Naruto in the stomach.
This time Iruka Sensei declared Sasuke the winner of the match. The fan girls of Sasuke were cheering for him very loudly.
[A/N: Well. They are still seven. Don't hope that they will fight like the Final Naruto Battle]
Sasuke walked towards Naruto and extended his hand helping him stand up. Then Sasuke said to Naruto,
"You moron. If you want to defeat me stop playing pranks all the time and do some practice."
Hearing this Naruto got angry and said to Sasuke, "Just you wait until I become the hokage. Humph."
The rest of the day was uneventful, and the classes was done quickly. Sasuke didn't waste anymore time and started running for the training ground.
After about 40 minutes of running, Sasuke reached his training ground. But there was no sign of Itachi.
'It seems big brother is late. But it's not like him. He never comes late. Humph. Even if he is stuck in some work, I will give him a cold shoulder and make him do another promise.'
'Well. It seems it will take some time for him to come here. So, I should start training by myself.'
Sasuke practiced with his shurikens. He took 4 shuriken in each hand and threw them at the same time. Out of 8 target Sasuke hit 6 of them and the two he couldn't hit were on his blind side.
'Damn it. I still can't hit those two targets. I have to practice more.'
Thus, Sasuke started his training while waiting for his big brother.
The academy operates till 4 o'clock and Sasuke took nearly 40 minutes to arrive at the training ground and started his training.
It was started to get drak but there was no sign of Itachi. Sasuke waited for nearly 2 more hours and got tired of practicing alone.
'Big brother didn't keep his promise. I will not talk with him for days. When you make a promise, you should keep it.'
'Well. I should go home now. My mother will worry about me.'
Sasuke started running towards his clan compound. It took him 20 minutes to reach the clan gate but there was no one around. It was like a deserted place.
'What's happening? Where is everyone? I should go home and ask mother about it.'
Sasuke started running towards his house, but he felt a gaze on him. He looked back but found no one. So he started running again.
[A/N: If you know you know what will happen in the next two chapters]
