Naruto hated Sasuke.
The boy had everything he had ever wanted: a family, money, people's respect, Sakura's love, you name it, and he's got it. Everyone wanted to be his friend. Even that mean kid with the long brown hair and weird white eyes, who wouldn't share his toys with him, wanted to be friends with Sasuke. But he can see why people liked him; the guy was nice to everyone, and shared his toys and food at lunch too. Once, Naruto even saw the little Uchiha knee deep in mud, trying to save a little bird that had landed in the sticky pool.
But apparently, the same kindness did not extend to blond orphans. And that pissed Naruto off more than anything else. Why did being an orphan make him different from all the other children? Why was Sasuke so nice to everyone else, but won't even lift a hand to help Naruto when he needed it? Like that time when the older kids ganged up on him and beat him because one of the pretty girls talked to him, and Sasuke just so happened to walk by. Just last week, when something had gone missing in the classroom at lunch, the teacher had blamed Naruto for it, even though both he and Sasuke had been at Ichiraku Ramen at that time. That bastard had the chance to help him, but he didn’t do a thing.
Naruto had tried to befriend the Uchiha, tried to understand why the boy hated him, but had been treated with the cold shoulder. The only time they had ever spoken to each other was when Sasuke grunted out a 'dobe' at something idiotic that Naruto did, and when the blond retaliated with a 'teme' and a number of crass words heard of from his time on the streets.
Needless to say, Sasuke wasn't impressed.
Three years passed, and it seemed Fate just loved to make Naruto's life miserable. Every single year, he would be the earliest one there on the first day of school, eager and hopeful to find out the class placements. And every year, he had been sorely disappointed; again and again on the class lists, right above the name Uzumaki Naruto, was Uchiha Sasuke. Why, oh why, can't the gods above just give him a break already? Naruto didn't want to be near the guy, let alone see him every single day for another year. Three years with the teme was enough for him, thanks. And because their last names were closest to each other, they always end up sitting together. ALWAYS. Oh god, the horror of it all. And it was worse after Sasuke's family had all died. The boy had become closed off, and treated everyone the same way as he did to Naruto; like they were beneath him.
And if Naruto had thought that was bad, this year certainly changed his mind. All because of one little incident. It was shameful, terrifying, disgusting, and a bunch of other things. But then again, even if he was cold, Sasuke was such a ladies man that it didn't even surprise Naruto that he had taken his first kiss, even if it was by accident. And Sasuke had blamed him for it too, the bastard.
Fate is such a cruel mistress.
Just when he thought his luck was finally turning, and he managed to pass the stupid exam and became genin, they had to put Sasuke on his team. Can't they see that someone as awesome as him deserved someone equally as awesome as a teammate? But he guessed it made sense to balance his awesome awesome-ness with the emo-bastard's emo-ness. It was only fair that the bastard gets a daily dose of awesome from him; Naruto was just so nice and generous like that.
No one ever liked Naruto; it stood to reason that their sensei would hate him - and by proxy, his team - too. Stupid Kakashi, giving them such a hard test where he had a high chance of failing. The man had seemed so surprised - and maybe a little impressed - when Sasuke had pulled a stupid fireball stunt in the middle of their little test.
"'Even advanced genin can't do that,'" Naruto mocked him quietly under his breath. "Oh so it just isn't enough for him to be the last Uchiha with the good looks and money and girls, noooo, he just had to be a fucking fire-breathing dragon too."
Kakashi smiled. As an elite ninja, he obviously heard Naruto’s comment, and decided to share it with the rest of their team. "Now, now, little fish-cake, you don't have to like Sasuke, as long as you can tolerate him for the rest of your time as a ninja. Sasuke will be on your team until you guys reach jounin status! And then, you three will probably be working together on most of your missions." The boy in question just smirked. Sakura almost fainted in happiness at the information.
Naruto hated Sasuke very very much.
