Sasuke Uchiha couldn’t help the shiver of disgust that went down his spine. The six year old boy tugged at his mother’s sleeve and she crouched down and eyed her son, eyes twinkling to show her amusement.
“Okasan, do I have to wear that?” he whispered eyeing the costume in his mother’s hand in disgust.
Chuckling, she glanced at the green scaled outfit in her hands and nodded. “Hai, Sasuke-chan.”
Six year old Sasuke looked his mother in the eye, pouting and eyes glazing over and Mikoto bit back a sigh. Her son was adorable when he made that look and she almost always gave in.
Almost.
“I don’t want to!” he proclaimed, lower lip trembling a bit.
Smiling at Sasuke, she stood up ruffling his spiky raven hair with her free hand. Wondering just how she’d get him into the outfit for the rehearsal in thirty minutes, her eyes landed on a stone faced Hiashi Hyuga standing on the opposite side of the room with a girl, most likely his oldest daughter, Hinata, clutching the fabric of her father’s yukata tightly trying to hide herself behind him.
Noting the lavender coloured dress and the crown on her head, she realized that the heir to the Hyuga Clan had been cast the princess. She was cute, mused Mikoto before glancing down to look at her son to see him staring at the girl with a light flush across his cheeks.
It was as though a light bulb had flickered above her head and she smirked, mind working furiously. “Sasuke-chan,” she said in a sing-song voice crouching low again.
Sasuke averted his gaze towards his mother and took a step back at the gleeful look his okasan was wearing. “Hai?”
“You like Hinata-chan, don’t you?” she whispered secretively glancing to her right and then her left making a show to her naïve son that she didn’t want anyone to hear.
“W-what?! Iie!” little Sasuke denied furiously putting up his hands in a defensive position though his cherry face was all the encouragement his mother needed to press onwards.
“Do you know that the role you’ve been given is to protect Hinata-chan?” she asked innocently watching her baby boy’s eyes widen. “You have to protect her from the big bad prince. You do want to protect her, don’t you?”
Forgetting the fact that he denied that he liked Hinata just a second ago, he nodded his head- chest puffing out in a manly display of strength when he said, “Hai, I want to protect Hinata-chan!”
Covering her laugh with a cough his mother said, “Well you must wear your costume to protect Hinata-chan! Do you understand?”
At Sasuke’s nod, she grabbed his hand and pulled him along towards an available changing stall for him to get into his green outfit with a triumphant grin.

Sasuke eyed the blond standing in front of him dressed in clothes meant only for a Prince and he was holding a shield and a sword. Eyes twitching, he tugged at the collar of his costume, feeling warm and uncomfortable with all the stares he was receiving.
“Look at the Uchiha boy…isn’t he adorable?”
Flushing, he shuffled his feet on the spot hating himself for letting his mother trick him into wearing this horrid costume. It didn’t help that almost everyone was cooing over him and he wondered if they were blind, didn’t they see that if something had a tail, was green and scaly then it was ugly?!
How was he ever going to get Hinata-chan to like him if he was a green, scaly lizard with wings and a tail? Not to mention he had cones sticking out from his head that was supposed to be his ears…
Damn his mother.
Groaning to himself at the thought of Hinata never liking him now with what he was wearing, he focused his attention back to the blond, blue-eyed Prince before him catching the last part of what he was saying.
“…now move you beast, for I Hokage Naruto shall kill you if you stay in my way, believe it!”
A groan came from Iruka, shouting to Naruto to stop changing and adding lines. Naruto just shrugged, sticking his tongue out which caused Iruka groan again.
Remembering what he was supposed to do Sasuke opened his mouth and said in bored tone, “Roar.”
Everyone blinked.
Iruka felt like killing himself. Didn’t these children understand what acting meant at all? You had to act with passion and determination, something these six and seven year olds weren’t doing. Wah, his play was ruined!
“MY YOUTHFUL FRIEND!” screamed a green spandex clothed jonin appearing out of thin air next to Iruka making him jump along with every other occupant in the auditorium. “YOU HAVE TO SHOUT OUT LOUD WITH PASSION AND FERIOCITY! LIKE THIS, ROOOAARR!”
Calmly Iruka bonked his clipboard hard on the head of said jonin and watched with disinterest as Gai fell onto the floor unconscious. Turning his attention back to the children on the stage he said, “Ignore what I just did but I have to agree with Gai-sensei Sasuke-kun, you can’t just say ‘Roar’ like that. You’re a dragon; you have to say it in the scariest and loudest way possible, understood?”
Sasuke nodded his little head and looked back at Naruto. Suddenly his mother’s voice echoed in his head.
“You have to protect her from the big bad prince. You do want to protect her, don’t you?”
Was Naruto the bad Prince? Looking at him Sasuke thought, Yeah.
So he had protect his Hinata-chan from this Prince and if that meant scaring the shit (he heard Itachi say it!) out of the him then he was going to do so. Setting his face into a determined scowl he edged himself a little to the left so he would be directly in front of the tower that his princess was in.
This Naruto wasn’t going to harm his Princess!
Opening his mouth, something came to mind and he grinned a bit – hands flying to perform the correct hand signals.
“ROOAARR!”
A burst of fire erupted from his mouth, aimed directly at poor Naruto. Quickly shielding himself with the flimsy paper shield, Naruto let out a surprised yelp and jumped back at his shield burst into flames.
Sasuke smirked, pleased with himself before letting out another roar that had Naruto falling on his butt and scrambling back. “Sasuke!” said his mother sharply from her seat next to Hiashi Hyuga and he turned his eyes towards with an innocent look.
“What?”
“Why did you do that?” she demanded watching her son in confusion, for she knew her husband never taught him the jutsu (maybe it was Itachi?), wonder and disappointment.
“I’m a fire breathing dragon protecting the Princess,” Sasuke deadpanned.
“Ooh…special effects! Fabulous, the play would be a success!” Iruka said, giggling to himself as he jotted all this down on his clipboard completely ignoring Mikoto’s glare.
“Well,” she muttered to herself, “if Sasuke is this gullible at this age then it wouldn’t be too hard to manipulate him into marrying Hinata-chan when he reaches of age…”
Hiashi blinked and eyed the Uchiha next to him with suspicion. Did he hear what she had just said right?
“…ooh yes I can see my future grandchildren! Now the only thing I have to worry about is getting Itachi hooked up…”
Turning to Hiashi she smiled sweetly at him. “You approve of a marriage between my Sasuke and your Hinata, right?”
Hiashi blinked and before he could say ‘Hell no’ she continued on happily, “Great! A marriage between our two clans will surely produce healthy and powerful offspring. Ooh just imagine our grandchildren, with Hinata-chan’s cuteness and Sasuke’s hair…”
Turning away from the Uchiha Hiashi contemplated what he had just learned, Mikoto Uchiha was crazy and how Fugaku survived all these years married to her he would never know.

Hinata stared at Sasuke in awe as he declared that he would forever protect her. Feeling herself blush when he blew her a kiss she decided that Uchiha Sasuke was nice.
