As the day continues on, the H/C haired boy was following the Uchiha brothers, he would have rejected their offer, but Sasuke kept on insisting. He wouldn't like to bother them one bit, but Sasuke kept on insisting. He didn't have any other choice, his older Uchiha would tell his younger brother that their companion might have some errands to do, yet Sasuke insisted.

When it comes to Sasuke, he wants his way to follow. Little did Y/N know, that this will be another reason to stick to the village closer this time.

The three male finally reached a compound, Sasuke smiled and turned around towards the H/C haired boy.

Sasuke: Welcome to the Uchiha Compound!

He said with a smile as he decides to take matters at his own hands, grabbing Y/N's hand as he dashes away with Y/N, leaving Itachi chasing after them as they went straight to a house.

As they arrive, Y/N was in awe at the house in front of him, having to come face to face at a huge door in front of him was a sight to be hold, of course, this is Sasuke's house nonetheless.

Sasuke: Come on! Let's go inside!

He said with enthusiasm as Y/N wasn't even prepared about setting foot in another territory, he literally just met this kid moments earlier and he already just invited him in.

Sasuke: I'm home!

???: Ah, welcome back Sasuke.

A feminine voice broke out the room as a figure of a woman started to come out of one of the many rooms.

The figure has fair-skinned with long, straight black hair with bangs hanging on either side of her face to roughly frame her cheeks and black eyes. She flashed a small smile, noticing the new figure that was with her son.

???: Sasuke, who's your friend?

Sasuke: Ah! Mama, this is Y/N! Y/N, this is my mother.

Sasuke introduced as Y/N, being a man, his case, a boy that he is, decided to greet her politely.

Y/N: How do you do mam?

???: Oh my, such a polite one. It's fine dear, you can call me Mikoto.

She said with a small smile as the H/C haired teen nodded, standing up straight as Mikoto wondered a little bit.

Mikoto: How do you both met?

Y/N: Well, we just bumped into each other. Next thing I knew, your son brought me here.

Sasuke: That's true! And I want to make it up to him by fixing some snacks!

He said as Mikoto lets out a small giggle, knowing that it was a first time that Sasuke had done a thing like this. She nodded her head as she looks at the both of them.

Mikoto: Alright, I'm going to fix some snacks, you two can play around. I'll call you when it is done.

She said as she left, leaving the two of them as she went to the kitchen, while Sasuke cheered and went out to the backyard, still holding Y/N's hand.

Y/N: 'At this rate, I'm going to have scars...'

He thought as the two reached the backyard of the household. Once the two of them reached the backyard, Sasuke hurriedly went to a tree that has some shurikens sticking out of the tree.

Y/N: 'Target practice perhaps?'

He thought as he decides to confirm this. He walked over to Sasuke, keeping his sights on the tree.

Y/N: Hey Sasuke, what happened to the tree?

Sasuke: Oh, this? Me and big brother use this to practice our accuracy. I wanna become a ninja just like my big brother!

He flashed a smile towards Y/N as he found it really admirable that his goal is much like being his older brother.

Sasuke: By the way, are you going to be a ninja too?

Y/N: Well, I guess. I mean, I'm not sure if I'm ready.

He lied as he doesn't want his secret to be at risk of finding out of who he really is.

Sasuke: Don't be silly! Here, try throwing this shuriken at the tree.

He said as he gives Y/N a shuriken, having no choice to even reject his offer, he obliged. He took the shuriken and positioned himself across the tree, he took a deep breath and started to throw the shuriken with ease, making it hit at the center of target.

Sasuke: Woah! How do you even do that? In your first try nonetheless!

Y/N: Um...luck?

He said as Sasuke doesn't buy his lie as he pouts a little bit, a little later they heard a voice from the house as Sasuke dragged Y/N yet again inside the house.

Hours later, as the sun begins to set, the H/C haired boy was now outside the Uchiha household.

Y/N: Thank you for your hospitality.

Mikoto: It is not a problem at all, you are more than welcome to come back here.

Sasuke: Plus, I need to beat you if I wanna be a great ninja! I'm considering you to be my rival.

Y/N: I'll hold on to that.

He chuckled as he waved goodbye as he went to his way.

Y/N: 'They seem very nice. I'll keep an eye on them.'

He thought as he went straight to the playground, hoping that he would find Naruto there. A couple of minutes later, he reached the playground and what he saw had struck a cord on him.

There he saw a couple of kids beating up Naruto to the ground, this made his blood boil as he marched towards the kids.

Y/N: Hey! Let him go!

He yelled as the kids turned their attention to Y/N, this made Naruto open his eyes and saw his only friend walking towards them.

Naruto: No! Get away from here!

Kid 1: Or wha--

Before he could finish his sentence, the H/C haired teen threw a solid punch at the kid that was holding Naruto, dropping him as the other kids restrain him from behind.

Kid 1: What the hell is your problem! Do you wanna get hurt badly!

He yelled as he throws in a punch towards Y/N, only for him to flip over the two kids that was restraining him, hitting one of them square in the face as he fall down.

Kid 1: Stay still squirt!

He throws in another punch as he dodges it, every punch that the kid make didn't even find it's mark. Naruto was beyond surprised at this, a kid with the same age as him is willing to sacrifice just to protect him.

Back at the fight, the other kid fell to the ground as the kid landed a hard punch towards him by accident, this is Y/N's chance to attack.

He jumped up a little bit as he throws a kick on the side of the head, making the bully kid wobble as he looks at him, finishing off as he sweeps the feet off the ground, making him fall off.

Y/N: Let this be a lesson not to mess with him or me. Got it?

He said with a hint of threat in his voice, in which the kids nodded and scurried away from them. He may be a kid, but he has a mind of an adult. Once they run away, he went over to Naruto's side.

Y/N: Naruto, are you alright?

Naruto: Y-Yeah I am, but how did you do that?

Y/N: Well, you gotta learn how to defend yourself. I learned it the earlier way than taking the later way.

Naruto: Why would you even go to the trouble of helping me?

He asked as there was a silence in the area as Naruto was waiting for the H/C haired boy's answer.

Y/N: Because, you are my friend. So, it is my duty to help you when you need it.

He smiled as Naruto flashed his own smile at him, those words really lifted his spirits up as he chuckles.

Y/N: Now, let's get your wounds treated.

Naruto: I want gramps to do it. I'm not welcomed at hospitals because of, you know...

Y/N: I heard ya, let's head to the hokage.

He said as he helps him up, taking him to the office of the hokage.

"Sorry Naruto, you mustn't know who am I, yet..."
