This was coming. Don't try and tell me it wasn't. We all know it was. Erratum was bound to be used in this book at least once - if not more than once eventually.

Setting; Naruto

OC; My Version of Error - Erratum, who can be found in my stories "Healing What Has Been Broken" (Both new and old versions), "Falling Into A Different Destiny" and used/mentioned in others.

Death; Suicide 

Reincarnated As; Sasuke Uchiha

Pairings; ??????

I have no idea if this is going to be crack, serious or both. I'm just writing and we'll see what comes out. Just a heads up.

Now, the Naruto timeline is a bit shaky to say the least, so don't hate me if I get something wrong there. In any case, with Erratum being reincarnated as Sasuke, nothing is going like canon when it concerns him. This is also is a bit AU for HWHBB, because of how Erratum dies is different and because he does die.

I actually liked Sasuke in the anime. He's the most realistic person in the whole anime. It's obvious he has PTSD and so many other issues, and I think I would actually be worse than him if my family was killed like how his was. I mean, seriously, I would have been way worse - mentally and emotionally. If I was him, I wouldn't have gone back to the village after said village leaders ordered my brother to kill everyone down to the newborns and unborn children, and said brother actually doing it because of how mentally gone he is, just saying.

Having said that, Erratum has seen and done worse than anyone in the Naruto Universe has. Even a certain goddess and all the ninjas - past, present and future - with their blood stained hands/SOULS in the whole Universe has nothing on him. 

-Start Chapter-

"I don't want to be a ninja."

Sasuke Uchiha could recall a time when he was nothing but an error. Literally. Forever tortured and fighting until he had nothing left to give, nothing left to hope for. Called "Error" because that was all he was. Fate had picked a favorite, and it for sure wasn't him.

A dark, multi-colored, Skeleton Monster that glitched and voice was forever changing what he once was. He had been a God, a forced one at that. Forced to destroy and kill to keep the balance - to save the ones who hated him and wanted him dead. They didn't want balance. They didn't want him. The ones who did love and want him were not enough to keep him afloat, not when he knew he would have to play his part forever.

Forever ended though when, finally, one of his suicide attempts worked.

It had been at that rocky landscape, where almost everyone was there. Beating him, yelling at him, not answering his calls for MERCY. After hours and hours of that, he had eventually snapped.

- "yoU dON'T WaNt bALanCE?! ThEN yOU CaN DiE oNCE cREaTIoN oVERtaKEs YoU aLL! DesTRucTION iS NO moRE, lET iT aLL cRuMBLE AND IMPLodE! INK! yOU'vE WOn ThIS GaME! FATE! I cuT yOUR sTRings!" -

He couldn't really recall what he had screamed, yelled or said. All he can remember is making a portal right into the VOID - laughing all the while. Because he got the last laugh in the end. With his death, it would mean the death of the whole Multiverse. After that was a blur as I was pulled apart. Yet, it felt that someone or something was trying to stitch him up, but something warm and soft grabbed him and the feeling stopped.

 - "My child, you have changed your destiny. I will not allow Fate to take you once more. No matter what I have to do or what it takes." -

After that, Error had woken up as a little human name Sasuke Uchiha. Reborn, but he could still see the SOULS of everyone around him. His own SOUL the same as it ever was, only the dark blue strings hanging off and stitching together his SOUL was gone, instead, there are white and red strings on his SOUL. HOPE and DETERMINATION? Or did it mean something new? He didn't have a clue on what rules this Universe and possible Multiverse ran on. It was strange, and it made him wonder what was going on. He was human now, with a Monster's SOUL.

Never mind that this Universe reminded him of SamuraiTale only with more ninjas. It was old fashioned, mixed with some technology. But, now he had a family. That was something he never thought he would have. A Mother, a Father, and even a older Bother. Weird.

- It never really bothered him when he learned about child soldiers. Why would it, when he, himself, could be considered one? He was trapped in an endless white place called the Anti-VOID, with all his memories deleted from him. Even if no one was counting the torture, Error had been forced into killing with no memories to himself, making him only above a child in a physical sense. Error, the Forced God of Destruction and Destroyer of Universes, had "grown up" killing universes. He sees nothing wrong with training children to kill, if they want to that is. -

So, here he was, SOUL inside of a new set of bones that came with skin and organs. Four years old, talking to his so-called 'parents' and 'older brother' about how he didn't want to go to this 'academy' and learn how to kill people without no one being the wiser about it.

Really, why would he need to go? Sasuke, with his past memories that span over thousands of years, knows how to kill someone in every way possible. He knows how to kill whole universes.

Sasuke was also tired. He didn't want to be forced to kill based on orders and for the good of the village. It reminded him too much of Fate and killing for the good of the Multiverse. While he'll fight and kill if he has to, he's not about to make it a job unless he wants to. The only positive about the whole thing, is that in this Universe/Multiverse, is that he'd actually get paid for killing someone if he did it. The downside about it is everything else. Not a good trade off. He'd rather kill on his own terms and time rather than the village's.

"You....don't want to be a ninja." Fugaku slowly repeated, face blank yet tense. Mikoto seemed frozen and Itachi was like a statue with how still he was.

"Yes." Sasuke bluntly stated, looking Fugaku right in the eyes. "I don't want to be a ninja."

Most likely sensing that shit was about to hit the fan, Mikoto quickly interjected into the conversation.

"Sasuke, don't you want to be like your Father or Big Brother?" Mikoto beamed, trying to gently manipulate him. Sasuke might be oblivious, but he knows manipulation better than anyone. Fate made sure of that. "They are both very strong ninja!"

"No. Why would I want to be like them when I'm not them?" Sasuke asked right back with a raised eyebrow.

"Being a ninja is a noble career and one the Uchiha clan-" Fugaku started, only to get cut off by his youngest son snorting at him and looking at him like he's a few kunai short.

Sasuke could not help but snort. It was hilarious what his supposed father was saying. "Noble? Ninja slit people's throats, are hired to kill people or worse, all just because someone said to and they were paid to do it." Shit, if this was noble, then in his last life he was an angelic saint sent from above. "Sure, they protect the village when they have to, but the whole system is corrupt by the higher ups. It's not that hard to see." Taking a closer look to his supposed parents, ignoring a frozen Itachi, Sasuke couldn't help but get suspicious. Maybe Fate had different faces this time. "I don't understand why you both are trying so hard to send me to kill others. Do you want me to end up dead? To mentally break and become a malleable piece for you to use in whatever way you want?"

It was times like these that remind Fugaku that his youngest son was a genius in many ways. Mikoto on the other hand, was gasping, horrified, and dropped her chopsticks. Fugaku noticed how Itachi finally moved at those words, turning to look at his own parents as if they were monsters.

"W-Why would you think that?!" Mikoto struggled to get out, tears forming in her eyes. She would never want to hurt her baby, so why did he think that!

"Because you're both trying to force me to go to an academy to learn how to kill others with no one being the wiser." Sasuke did not hold back anything, looking at the two adults as if they were being slow. "And to be honest, it's not like I'll even pass the academy. I won't do a thing in there, failing out. Which, if they do pass me anyway, I'll just be canon folder like the other little kids that barely pass and no one cares about."

He was already forced to kill once, forced to kill so many that he lost count. He'd rather die once more than be forced into that same position once more.

"Are you threatening me?" Fugaku activated his sharingan, trying to look threatening. Sasuke didn't even flinch, where as grown men with blood on their hands have fainted.

"No, I'm telling you what is going to happen if I go there."

"Sasuke-"

"What do you want to do instead?" Itachi finally spoke up, cutting off his father's anger filled words. At the question, both Mikoto and Fugaku turned their attention onto Sasuke, wondering what his answer will be.

Sasuke hummed, rubbing his cheek. "A tailor or seamstress, whatever you all call it, maybe a writer too. I could make clothing and dolls for a main job and write on the side, publishing stories. I have so many....stories stored up that I could write out and sell for others to enjoy."

Everyone was quiet, only with Itachi nodding as if he found that reasonable. This is why Sasuke likes him the best out of his new family. He doesn't understand why Fugaku forces Itachi to do things he doesn't want to, it was obvious that Itachi wasn't a killer like Sasuke was, so why be a ninja? Oh well, to each their own he supposes.

Sasuke, after putting those thoughts away, just raised an eyebrow at his frozen parents.

"Look, you can either let me choose what I want to do for a living or try and force and fail - either by my dying or by my failing purposely. Forcing me to kill others is not what I want in this life, and I will sooner slit my own throat than have someone tell me to kill someone just because they ordered it. Although, I suppose you could kick me out, but then I get what I want either way, so it doesn't really matter if you do."

Needless to say, dinner ended on a somber and awkward note.

Sasuke then went to be to the sound of arguing coming from downstairs. But he didn't pay it any mind, he was still trying to get used to the fact he needed sleep even years down the line. Sure, he didn't need much of it, but it was still weird to sleep and eat when he used to not need it at all.

And in the morning, he got what he wanted.

"Starting next week, you'll be starting an apprenticeship under Uchiha Yami, one of the best seamstresses within the Uchiha clan." Fugaku stated this sternly, as if he wasn't bothered by the fact that his youngest son wanted to become a seamstress and maybe a writer on the side. "You are an Uchiha, you will be the best there is, do you understand?"

"I'm Sasuke, and I'll be the best me I can be." Sasuke told the man with a wide, unsettling grin. "Thanks for not trying to kill me or force me to get my hands dirty, you're better than them."

Fugaku had no idea who them was, but he had a feeling he didn't want to know. So, he kept his mouth shut, nodded to his strange son, and then went to eat his breakfast.

The head of the clan can only hope that this doesn't come to bite him in the ass, or that the clan elders don't try anything.

But, they shouldn't. Sasuke was the second son after all, not the first born. And while smart, it wasn't like he was a genius when it came to fighting like Itachi is. It'll be fine.

-Famous last words.-

-End Chapter-

A short one, but one that was on my mind for a while. Error!Sasuke is not about to take anyone's shit and will kill to make sure that he can get those choices and that no one can force him to do anything he doesn't want to.

As Sasuke is the second son, there is less pressure on him as a whole. Thus, it's not a huge problem within the clan that he doesn't want to be a ninja. But that doesn't mean others won't try and force him into being a ninja - too bad for them that Error!Sasuke is having none of that.

Error!Sasuke, before all this, was always a strange child, to the point where his parents are not shocked by how he talks or how blunt he is.

I'm just putting this out here now; While Error!Sasuke will fight and maybe even kill others, he is not going to become a ninja - EVER. He is going to stay a civilian. Just because he can kill someone, doesn't mean he is a ninja. I think that ninjas tend to think that civilians are harmless because they can use chakra and they can't - but when you run out of chakra or can't use it, what's left? A sword or kunai? Well, anyone can use that. And anyone can dodge or run until the chakra runs out. No commonsense.

I am also not going to do canon pairings most likely either.

More on Error!Sasuke, his family, and the world around him in the next part - as well as flashbacks most likely. I've never written the Uchiha Clan before, so they might be OOC until I get the hang of it - or they might be because of a butterfly effect. Also, Uchiha Yami is an OC I made for this story.
