Chapter 9: Sasu's Secret

Sasuke was unsure what was worse, he looked up as Sasu came home from school and went straight for the bedroom shutting the door behind him. "Sasu-chan?" walking up to the door, Sasuke saw his nephew hiding his face in his pillows. "What's wrong?"

"They hate me!" Sasu-chan finally whimpered and looked up at him with dark eyes that were filled with tears. "I didn't do anything, someone found out who I was and said that I was the son of a traitor and that you....are one too!"

Staring at his nephew, Sasuke let out a soft sigh, he sat down on the bed, small arms wrapped around his neck. "Sasu-chan, it is all right, many people are mad at me and they are angry at To-san too. Don't let it bother you. You are an Uchiha, you should be proud of that."

"Uncle Sasuke, but..."

"Just remember you are an Uchiha and it should work out from there," Sasuke smiled at him. "Let's make lunch."

Sakura stared at Sasuke who told her about what happened. "Sasuke-kun, you didn't just tell him that?" Sakura said in shock, she was upset about this. "You really haven't seen what those kids do to him."

She dragged him toward the school, Sasuke saw his nephew trying to dodge some older boys who were chasing. Sasu-chan did learn or managed to learn a jutsu to escape, he hid in one of the trees hiding the tormentors. "How did he learn that?"

Sakura glared at him. "I taught him it!" She grabbed his hand and pulled him back to her house. "For crying out loud, those kids treat him worse than Naruto-kun. He learned some other tricks to get away from those kids, they always find him."

Sasu-chan was sitting up in a tree, his eyes down at the crowd of people walking under him. He looked up at the clouds and sighed feeling almost scared. My secret place, no one will know where I am, he thought.

"Sasu-chan?" he saw his uncle sitting down next to him. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Because I didn't want you to know they were doing this."
