Background History:
(heykwurweyigkr just… putting it out there… that anything that concerns yet unapplied for characters is more than up to their applicants’ change & consideration, this is just an outline that I don’t plan to impose on anyone, should I get approved orz)
Second son to the rather wealthy main Uchiha branch, Sasuke had an all in all loving family, and not all that much to complain about. One of his few FMLs was the hereditary reduced melanin in his retina; he doesn’t quite verge on ocular albinism, but certainly gives the impression of occasionally red eyes even now, under various lightings. Aestheticism aside, it also strongly impaired his sight. He’s been undergoing treatment since childhood, and he wears corrective black contact lenses even now; he’s sadly been warned that continued eye strain might lead him to blindness.
But back to ickle Sasuke (the nerd). His brilliant brother’s successes frequently eclipsed his achievements, and certainly stole enough of his father’s attention, but Sasuke was never truly neglected: he had his doting mother, and the elder Itachi’s constant affections. He also had LEGO blocks. Lots of them. And trains (red ones). He liked the trains best.
He met Naruto and Sakura during his first school years, and as luck would have it, actually befriended the idiots (The BFF 4EVER, let’s cut our palms and shake like blood brothers because that’s totally cool and completely hygienic, what are you talking about, kind of friends).
They say bad luck comes in threes, which is possibly why this charming acquaintance was followed by the downfall of his close family. To this day, Sasuke can’t really say what happened. He remembers Naruto and he going to the Uchiha estate for dinner, possibly pondering new and mysterious ways to gtfo without eating their vegetables. He also remembers finding every one of his relatives in a bloodied mess. Somehow, Itachi was spared.
Sasuke wanted the natural (to find his brother), and the obvious (to get out NOW), which is why he followed the Craven’s Guide to Massacres and ran. Naruto followed. Eventually, so did the police. The boys were separated, and Sasuke ended up in temporary state custody and in his very own 8 x 8 mental ward. (There were no trains ._. ) He was informed that he couldn’t be handed over to his brother, because bluntly, Itachi was a primary suspect. Incidentally, he also couldn’t be found.
Two things contributed to Sasuke’s eternal woe: his brother’s disappearance act (10/10, would see in a magic act again), and Naruto and Sakura’s apparent silence. Unknown to him, the psychological treatment recommended to him required his isolation from the people and things closely related to that day; he hadn’t broken as hard as he could have, that day, and his exceedingly many doctors weren’t taking any chances. If there was any hope that the child was young enough to somehow forget or come to peace with the event, they’d take it.
Consequently, Sasuke went : ( .
He took Sakura’s, and specifically Naruto’s absence as both rejection and affront, because brothers don’t give up on their own when the going gets rough. Ultimately, he decided they were both simply too cowardly to help him figure out what in God’s name had happened that day, and that if they didn’t want to be involved, Sasuke could certainly understand – no. No, he really couldn’t. What Sasuke could do was make sure they paid for it, and given time, Sasuke would.
The legal situation surrounding the inheritance line was strenuous enough that repeated custody trials between the distant members of his family left him in the care of various lawyers for the better part of his minority. He tried to play teenage detective, but obviously failed. Given the business empire at stake, the case was wrapped up in media love, and Sasuke himself was the subject of some attention; in particular, he caught the eye of Orochimaru, a dubious individual with what Sasuke thought was financial gain in mind. Orochimaru made him realize the obvious: the odds of Sasuke’s earning his vengeance for his family’s death through legal means were particularly slim. Better try the shadier city networks, kid.
