Hey there! This is my first SasuNaru, friendship fic, not to mention a multi-chapter one.

This probably happened before episode one of season one. It portrayed how they met and about their bonds.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Naruto...but the plot's mine.:))

Enjoy!

Prologue

It's him again.

Nine-year-old Sasuke belonged to the prestigious Uchiha clan wherein the powerful bloodline had been passed through generations—the Sharingan. He and his older brother Itachi inherited this eye ability from their father.

Lately, he saw something near a big tree not far from the academy. Or rather, that something might be a someone, a boy, approximately Sasuke's age. This boy seemed to have spiky blonde hair and lonely blue eyes which met the little Uchiha's dark black ones whenever Sasuke took a glance at the hill from the village streets.

Is he always up there? He looks lonely.

Sasuke would tug his mother's apron whenever they went downtown. "Oka-san, Look!" He would point at the big tree where he sees the unknown boy. "It's him!"

Mikoto would look to where her son was referring to, but only to find no one there. "Sasuke-chan, nobody's up there. It's just an old tree, honey."

"But…but…"

"Now, now. Maybe Sasuke-chan's just tired from training. Let's get you to bed."

Eventually, he gave up convincing his mother. Grown-ups wouldn't understand.

Wait! What if it's one of those awesome Sharingan tricks? His father's out of the list though; the grumpy police captain wouldn't tolerate this 'nonsense.' Plus, he cared less of his youngest son. The only one left was Itachi. Yes, he would understand. He's always patient enough to hear Sasuke's stories and experiences. Surely he wouldn't let him down.

"Aniki?"

"Yes?"

"Do you see someone up there, by the hill?"

"No."

"Are you sure? He has blonde hair and he looks very lonely. Why don't you use your Sharingan? Is it genjutsu?"

"No."

Well, that didn't work. That's Itachi, always straight to the point.

Why can't Itachi see him?

"There's more than what meets the eye, Sasuke," his brother said after seeing disappointment written all over Sasuke's face.

Well, if that's the case, I'll have to meet him instead!

Little did the little black-haired Uchiha know that this decision will eventually change him in a long-shot.

Thanks for reading! Constructive reviews are highly appreciated! ^^

Have a nice day!
