Life went on as normal after that, Father worked, Mother worked and I went to school. But I couldn't concentrate. The only thing I could think about was the fact my Father still hadn't spoken to me! Days turned to weeks and I only had 5 days remaining before Father departed. I had tried everything to get him to talk to me but nothing was working! Until one day, I got into another fight at school and ended up in Father's office at home. That's when I realized the only way Father was going to talk to me is if I got into trouble. So I got into trouble. I insulted and teased every boy I could to get them to fight me. I, of course, walk away from those fight the victor, minor scratches and scrapes while the other boys required medical attention. The funny thing, I didn't care. I felt no remorse using them for my gain. It felt........... satisfying. All those kids had ever done was tease and hurt me, laugh at me and disrespect me. They should consider this payback! And they should be happy I didn't decide to deal back what I was delt 10 fold.

After each fight, I would be called into the Principles office and my parents would be called. Most times Mom picked me up but once or twice Father showed up. Every time, when we got home, he would stand in his office behind his desk with me in front of him and he would scold me. He would stand there and speak but I wouldn't hear a word. I would sit there quietly and stare up at him while he spoke. I looked into his eyes and just stare. Waiting for the one day he goes 'I'm leaving Ukai, and I need you to take care of your Mother and sister because I might not come back.' But it never happened. I only had 2 days left, and all I wanted to here now was 'Ukai I love you, and I will come home.'

Last day calls for desperate measures. This time I picked a fight with three upperclassmen, two needed serious medical but the third was sent to the hospital. The teachers didn't even know what to do with me so the incidents were kicked up to the Hokage, and that's where I am now, the trouble child sitting in the Hokage's office right in front of the Lordship himself.

"Ukai," Lord Naruto called out to me.

I turned my gaze from the window to him, staring at him as he did me.

"Come on kid talk to me." He sighed leaning forward on his desk.

I looked at the Lord with stone eyes before scoffing and tuning away, leaning back in my chair and crossing my arms. I stared out the window again before a knock sounded on the door and it opened, allowing the last person but the only person I wanted to see into the room.

"Naruto." He greeted the Hokage.

"Sasuke." Lord Naruto greeted back.

"What happened this time?" Father asked and I felt his eyes move to me, though I kept my head turned.

"These fights are getting out of control Sasuke, the academy threatened to kick him out of school if something like this happens again." Lord Naruto reported.

I felt my Father's cold stare on the back of my head before he spoke.

"Ukai, home, now." He said turning to leave.

I turned my head and watched him walk toward the door before closing my eyes refolding my arms and staying seated.

"No," I said.

"Excuse me?" Fathers voice sounded.

"I said, no," I repeated.

"Ukai Uchiha!" Father called turning back to me.

"No! You think just giving me another lecture is going to magically straighten me out!? Please!" I hissed louder at him.

I turned and watched my Father who stood still with an angry expression.

"Ukai, maybe it be best if~?" I cut Lord Naruto off.

"Tell me something..." I stood from my chair, facing my Father.

"Were you ever planning on telling me you were leaving or was I just going to wake up tomorrow morning with no Father!?" I questioned.

The realization that I had heard the other nights conversation hit my Father and he straightened his stance.

"I don't expect you to understand Ukai," Father rolled his eyes.

"Well I do! I DO UNDERSTAND! AND AS FAR AS I UNDERSTAND, IT'S THE HOKAGE'S JOB -I pointed a finger back at Lord Naruto- TO TAKE CARE OF THE VILLAGE! NOT YOURS!" I raised my voice.

"Ukai calm down." Lord Naruto stood.

"NO! YOU BOTH WANTED TO KNOW WHY I ACT THE WAY I DO AND BECAUSE YOU OBVIOUSLY HAVEN'T FIGURED IT OUT YET I'M GONNA TELL YOU!" I hissed looking between the two men before fixing my stare on my Father.

"I act this way because I know it will end like this!" I gestured between my Father and myself.

"I PICK FIGHTS AND GET INTO TROUBLE EVERYDAY BECAUSE I KNOW IT WILL END IN THIS EXACT SITUATION, WITH YOU STANDING THERE AND ME SITTING HERE!" I gestured harshly staring my Father down.

"I DO IT BECAUSE THIS IS THE ONLY SORT OF ATTENTION OR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I EVER GET FROM YOU ANYMORE! I DON'T CARE THAT YOU WERE REPRIMANDING ME OR LECTURING ME ABOUT HOW I SHOULD BE A "BETTER UCHIHA" BECAUSE THE ONLY THING I CARED ABOUT WAS THAT YOU WERE TALKING TO ME!" I choked, gritting my teeth and clenching my fists.

"EVERYDAY! I WOULD SIT IN THAT CHAIR AND PRAY THAT MAYBE ONE DAY YOU WOULD SAY WHAT I ACTUALLY WANTED TO HEAR! ONE 'I LOVE YOU'! IS IT REALLY THAT HARD FOR YOU TO TELL YOUR SON YOU LOVE HIM!?" I felt the first tear run down my face.

"Ukai I know your angry~" Father tried to say but I cut him off.

"I'M NOT ANGRY I AM IN PAIN! AND YOU PUT ME HERE!" I pointed at him, making his eyes widen.

"YOU! THE PERSON WHO WAS SUPPOSED TO LOVE ME MORE THAN ANYTHING!" I exclaimed feeling more tears roll down my cheeks.

Both my Father and Lord Naruto had gone silent and just stared at me. I harshly wiped the salty water from my cheeks but I couldn't stop crying. Dropping my head the tears continued to stream down my face.

"You, are not the Hokage!" I battled to speak as cries clawed at my throat.

"It is not your job to worry about the other people in this village it is your job, to worry about your family!" I said, blinking furiously to clear my vision

"I am not, and I REFUSE, TO BE THAT KID THAT SITS UP EVERY NIGHT, WAITING FOR A DAD THAT MAY NEVER COME HOME AGAIN!!" I looked up at my Father feeling my eyes burn once more.

"Ukai..." Father took a step toward me, his face changing from angry to sad.

"No you!, need to choose! It's either this village or me!" I step up to my Father.

"Ukai, don't," Father whispered down to me.

"Then pick me!" I prodded my chest repeatedly.

"Stay... please..." I pleaded.

It was then, that for the first time in my life, I saw my Father cry. He stood with his head hung, his hair covering his pained expression as tears streamed down his face. My body was still shaking and my fists still clenched tight as I challenged my Father. The tears on my face running down my chin and dropping to the floor as I watched him cry. He clenched his fist before shaking his head.

"I'm sorry, son," He whispered lifting his head, looking into my eyes.

A searing pain shot threw my chest, and I stumbled back a few steps, absolutely shocked.

"I~ I don't believe it," I whispered.

"All that, and you're still choosing to leave." I choked, feeling fire all over me.

I growled walking forward and past Father to storm out the office but he grabbed my arm.

"Ukai I~"

"No, I HATE YOU!" I screamed with all the air in my lungs.

I felt a serious sharp pain shoot through my eyes and warm liquid roll down my cheek.

"Mangekyou..." My Father's eyes widened once more, and his grip on my arm loosened as he stood frozen. I pulled away forcefully, growling and crying.

"Ukai, come on~" Lord Naruto stepped forward behind Father.

"THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT! IF YOU HAD JUST LEFT US OUT OF THIS I WOULD STILL HAVE A FATHER!" I screamed again.

"GRR I HATE YOU BOTH!" I roared feeling a wave of energy burst out around me, pushing my Father and Lord Naruto back a little and shaking the whole floor.

I turned and ran out of the office, running past dozens of scared people and all the way home.
