At the time of his 20th birthday Sasuke Uchiha still has been wandering around the ninja world, as a lone fighter, a kind of a omnipresent shadow, waiting to help people in oppression. As there was an ending of another hard day Sasuke stayed on an empty glade. He picked a place where he can easily watch the stars, which were perfectly visible that night as the sky was clear. He has started to contemplate his life and the tough road he was in. He made a fire and laid down near a big boulder. He has started to think about old times, but also about the present. Despite all the events and adventures along the road he realised, he misses Naruto and Sakura. He looked at the fire and felt the alleviation of a blissful sleep which was coming...

- Wake up Sasuke! - someone screamed into his ear.

His eyelids slowly have started to open up as he saw a face. Familiar face.

- Mom? - he asked.

- Who else dummy, wake up before Itachi decides to go without you!

Sasuke couldn't believe his eyes. He looked at his surroundings and he saw his old room in his old house. What is more important, he saw his own mother, alive and well. At the time he didn't realise that was just a dream. Shocked and overwhelmed he slowly has started to get up from the bed. He changed his clothing and went to a kitchen. There he saw his parents, Itachi and Shisui sitting around.

- What's happening? - he asked them.

- It's your birthday today brother - said Itachi - I know me, you and Shisui have mission today, but we can have a little celebration, for now, however we have to go.

- Sure - answered Sasuke, who couldn't believe what he just saw.

It was a warm, sunny day. The birds were singing their song as the mild breeze was *ing. Sasuke, Itachi and Shisui set off to their mission. Sasuke didn't know what was the goal of the mission. However, he gladly noticed that he was treated as serious as Itachi or Shisui, the big talents of Uchiha. Suddenly Itachi and Shisui have stopped walking.

- Listen Sasuke we don't have much time - said Itachi - I know I haven't been a good brother sometimes.. However it's your birthday today and we all wanted to see you again.

- We all..? - asked Sasuke.

- Yes. Look carefully - answered Itachi.

Astonished Sasuke realised he's now again seeing his all family. His mother and father were there too.

- We are all very proud of you - said Fugaku.

- Brother.. - said Itachi... - the life of a ninja is complicated. I'm sorry about the burden you had to carry. However, you have to remember about the family you have. Maybe not blood family, however they are still your family.

- What are u talking about? - asked Sasuke.

- Your friends. They never gave up on you and they won't. Please don't try to live alone... The road of a ninja is lonely enough... Happy Birthday - said Itachi.

Suddenly he woke up and realised it was all just a dream. However, it all seemed so real like he really talked with Itachi and his family. He remembered what his brother said and decided it was time to make some change in his life.
