Welcome to Konoha
Prologue
By: Morbid Alex (Karasu8)

A/N: Okay, people, this is the prologue to a strange alternate universe I've created. It popped into my head randomly, as I made Demonic Society on my Naruto RPG. I'm not too sure where all the muses came to me from, but one of them, actually, is an artist on Deviant Art. Who? Arriku and the works known as "Konoha's Golden Team" - it's absolutely stunning. I suggest you go and view it, savvy? Savvy. Please review; I have to know if I should even bother to continue this story.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, nor any of the characters, but I do own the plot and the fanfiction. I make no money off of this - don't sue me.

People have different tastes and different styles for just about everything in existance. It doesn't matter if it's food or clothing. It doesn't matter if it's music, writing utensils, learning enviorments, books, or even forms of transportation. The people in this world could care less about what others think about them. They just want to voice their own opinions. If a person can get their point across, socially accepted or not, they're usually pretty happy, aren't they? Maybe it's because we, as a society, enjoy our unique ways of life and expressing ourselves? I don't think there's a single person in this world who doesn't think their thoughts matter. I find that people just want to be people - that includes me, too.

My name's Uchiha Sasuke and I'm sixteen years old. I'm a sophomore on Konoha Campus. No, I'm not in the college sector, but my brother goes there. I'm from the Campus High - our high school sector. You see, in our school, there are three sectors. These sectors are the Junior sector, which is made up of kids ranging from fifth to eighth grade, the High sector, also known as the Campus High, and the College Campus. Each of them are unique in their own way, one or two large buildings, full of dormitory rooms, to house all the students the Campus takes in. We've all got our own schedules, lunch rooms, gyms, pools, and only Kami knows what else. It's like our own little world right here in Konoha Campus, really. Heh.

Anyway, I'm relatively popular, despite my best attempts to rid myself of unwanted attention. I live in my brother's shadow and have for as long as I can remember. It isn't all that bad, I guess. Unforunately, though, people expect a lot more from me than my classmates. It isn't because of anything I actually do, either. I assume I'll have to blame it on Itachi's fucking brilliance, won't I? He's always been at the very top of everything.

I come from a well respected family - the Uchiha family. A lot of people call us, which is probably true, a 'clan'. We're all grouped together in our own section of the city, with our own marriage arrangements, et cetera. Father is the head of the Konoha Police Force. Yeah, I said it - my dad's a cop. Not only that, but my parents, Fugaku and Mikoto, run a surprisingly famous martial arts dojo in town. In fact, it's the only one for quite a distance. One day, I think I should thank them. It's because of their training that I have such high physical abilities. It's thanks to them, also, that I don't resemble the Pillsbury dough boy. Hah, that'd be horrible...me as a little fat kid! Who would love this face then, hm?

I have top grades and have been marked as a "genius" by most of my instructors and classmates. I can thank the family for that one too. My family has a long history of being abnormally intelligent. Look at my brother, for example: he's the smartest of all of us. I wonder why? Maybe it's got something to do with the bloodline? Bah, it makes me head hurt - fucking intelligence!

I can just imagine some old man, who'd be my great something or other, teaching his children how to absorb loads of information in a short amount of time. It probably happened and was subtly passsed through the generations. I think it's become the Uchiha nature to do so now. When I look back on it, thinking a bit longer on the subject, it's probably true. Father, Itachi, and I most likely recieved our seriousness from the old bastard as well. I sincerely wouldn't doubt it. Father even taught us to "be the best" and he made sure that his "children wouldn't bring shame to the family." How many normal parents have an attitude like that? I swear it has something to do with this "Uchiha Madara" he keeps talking about - who every member of the family talks about. Maybe he's the old man I'm thinking of?

I have many other interesting traits, but I feel as if I've been ranting this entire time. I could explain to you how I have hair so black that it appears to have blue highlighting. I could go into a long explanation as to why my skin is so pale, like fine porcelain, why I have such dark black-gray eyes, or even why the Uchiha family is so seemingly cold toward society. But that's too much work and requires a ton of talking. I'm not a very social person and refuse to become one just so you can know every little thing about me. If you are really dying to know, why don't you step into my shoes? Take a look at the world I call home and enjoy the taste of my rediculously twisting, ever-changing life.
