"Would you slap your brother for 5 million dollars?"
"I would spinning heel kick him in the face for free."
Uchiha Sasuke messed up, and he wasn't proud of it. Kaguya had won and taken over the Shinobi lands. And this time, there was no Uzumaki Naru...

There are only a couple of times in Uchiha Sasuke's life where he felt small.
The first was when he was standing in front of his brother, when Itachi taunted him, put him in a genjutsu, and left.
The second time was when he had stood in front of Madara and watched him kill half of his shinobi force in less than an hour.
The third time was when he watched his teammates die by Kaguya's hand.
And he hated to admit it, but the fourth time was right now.
He sat in front of the council, their decisions roaring over him.
"His brain should be searched, Fugaku-san! How else shall we know if he is a spy?" Shimura Danzo cried, slamming his fist into the table.
"He isn't a spy, Danzo-san! Us Uchiha can make sure of that." Fugaku retorted, pointing a finger at the man.
"Tch. How would the Uchiha be so sure when the nine-tailed fox was controlled by one?" the Shimura muttered under his breath.
Fugaku breathed in deeply. "I beg your pardon?" he replied, his voice dangerously quiet. He glared at the man, Sharingan activated.
The Hokage, who's eyes at been shut as he listened to the debates suddenly stood up. "That's enough. There is no need for violence."
"Of course, Hokage-sama," Danzo replied.
"Now. Let us vote. We will do this traditionally, with a ballot."
The ballot was placed in front of Sasuke, and he stared down at it, a somewhat haunted look in his eyes.
"Why should we place it in front of him? Couldn't he mess it up?"
Fugaku, who's eyes had been burning with rage, opened his mouth to retort, but not before Sasuke had.
"I assure you, Danzo-san, I have no need to trigger this ballot," he replied, glaring at the said man.
"Tch!" Danzo sank into his seat once again. "I suppose."
Sasuke glared at him. I hate him. He killed everyone and framed it on Itachi-nii. He took Shisui's Sharingan. He experimented on little children for god-fucking-sake. I hate him. I hate him. I HATE HIM I HATE HIM I HATE HIM I HATE HIM I HATE-
"Sasuke-san."
His head snapped up, his stare aimed at the Hokage.
