Title: An orphan's love

Chapter one: "Let's be friends"

It was the Hanabi festival, a time when all the family and friends gather out in the park to have picnic and enjoy the beautiful view of the Sakura in full bloom. We focus our view on a particular family – the Uchiha clan. All of them for once were out of their usual dark colour clothing and were wearing bright colour kimonos and so on. Everyone of the Uchiha clan were present from the oldest to the youngest were present.

A young little boy of the age 8 stood up from his mother's lap and wander away from their picnic site.

"Sasuke-chan, don't get yourself lost!" shouted his mother after him. The little boy turned around and nodded his head soon he continue his way to explore the crowded park with families after families sitting down under the pink shelter of the Sakura. He was getting a little irritated from all the noises the families were making. All those laughing, shouting and singing. He hates them all especially back at their picnic when his elder brother Itachi who maybe talented in everything except in the singing department, was singing some sappy tunes.

It was at the edge of the park when he spotted the magnificent Sakura tree; this was going to be the very tree, which he was soon to remember in years to come. He took step closer to the tree to examine the weather-beaten barks of the tree. It was old but he didn't mind.

"Hello" came a voice from above, shocking Sasuke who look up to see a boy of the same age sitting on the branch just above him.

"Did you come here with your family?" asked the boy again. Sasuke nodded his head.

"Do you want to come up here? The view here is great."

"But I am too short, I can't reach the branch." Speaking to the stranger for the first time, as he tiptoe to reach the branch. The boy laughs at him before stretching a hand to grab Sasuke up. "There you go." When Sasuke was finally sitting on the same branch with him. Like the stranger had said earlier, the view was great. He was able to see pale lighting of the lamppost and pink umbrella like Sakura all over the place also he saw his family.  

"You like the view?" asked the boy

Sasuke turned to face him, now that he was on the same level, he was able to see him much clearer view. The boy had spiky blonde hair, which had a goggle over it and clear baby-blue eyes, which seemed to sparkle every now and then.

"Hai." He reply softly

"Ne, what are you doing out here all by yourself?" questioned the boy

Sasuke sighed before replying, "Itachi-aniki driving me insane with his horrible singing of his so I decided to come out here."

"Oh, you are so lucky." Sasuke watch the sparkle in those blue eyes die away with gloom slowly over taking them.

"Why?"

"Cause' I don't have anyone not even a single friends except for Iruka sensei." The boy smiled a sad smile before looking at Sasuke again, who looked away shyly before asking

"Then can I be your friend?"

The boy's eyes widen happily, the sparkle back in his eyes again finally a big grin

"Really?"

"Yeah, I don't know what to call you my friend?"

"Uzumaki Naruto! Just call me Naruto!"  Naruto smiled happily at Sasuke

"I am Uchiha Sasuke! Nice to meet you!"

Both of them shook hand before continuing enjoying the view. Sasuke was bothered by something – what are new friends supposed to do? I know I will give him something! He reached into his sleeves and took out a small frog toy and handed it to Naruto.

"For you Naruto! As a mark of new friendship!"

Naruto took it and smiled happily, never did anyone give him anything in his whole entire life. Naruto with the frog in hand took off his goggle and gave it to Sasuke who took it with a blank look.

"What is this, Naruto?"

"A special goggle! You can see things better in the dark with this!"

"Really?"

"Try it on!"

Sasuke put on the goggle to see that he was able to see things better and clearer. He was able to see Itachi with microphone in hand, doing a stupid dance. His family member all cheering him on.

"This is so cool! I can see Itachi doing a stupid dance!"

Over the next one-hour, both Naruto and Sasuke chatted about all kind of things like what they dislike and like. They were about to go more into each other's lives when Sasuke heard his mother calling for him.

"Oh dear, I got to go! We chat more tomorrow okay!"

"Okay, promise you will be there!"

"I will! My best friend!"

"Ah? Best friend?"

"Uzumaki Naruto is and will forever be my best friend in the entire universe!" screamed the little boy before jumping off the tree. Sasuke turned around and waved a big good-bye before running to the welcoming arms of his mother.

Meanwhile on the tree, Naruto the best friend of Uchiha Sasuke grinned happily at the thought of meeting his new friend tomorrow over a meal of his favourite Ramen.
