Sasuke and Itachi was now standing by a part of the docks that people often stayed away from
"So? Explain!" Sasuke demanded his brother
"There are many things to explain, all it comes Down to is what you want to hear" Itachi Said, irratating Sasuke
"I want to know Why you didn't come forth! Why Stay hidden!?!!"
"Sasuke..No matter the reason.. i did some horrible things.. i killed a lot of people- innocent people... our own clan"
"So..you're redemeing yourself?"
"I Guess you could say that..though i'm not doing it the same Way as you... i'm embracing the Real me"
"..."
Sasuke Said nothing
He knew what Itachi meant by that.
Itachi was doing what he wanted while redemeing himself.. he was free- while Sasuke is constantly running away from what he is-
-a friend
-a brother
-a Uchiha
And
-a Konoha shinobi...
"But what else am i supposed to do?!" Sasuke yelled, Itachi always had the best advise, he needed some of it right now, before he broke Down completely
This whole Day was too much
And Sasuke could clearly feel the tears in his eyes that ve refused to let flow
"You're life is you're life..not mine...i shouldn't make that decision.." Itachi Said with a saddened expression
He didn't like doing this to his brother, to make him feel like that
- but he couldn't Help him with this
"You're my brother! My only Family! The only one i have!!!"
"Am i?"
Sasuke stiffened..'is that what he is trying to tell me?' He thought
And of course he knew the answer
Itachi loved Konoha enough to live a life of darkness
He wouldn't want the same for his younger brother
He did all he did so that the village could be a safe place, a place Sasuke could live in peace and happiness
"You have so many people who love you Sasuke..and of course i'm one of them, but i'm not the only one...."
He knew it was true
So many people had made it more than clear that they wanted him In their lives
- Naruto
- Kakashi
- Sakura
- even that guy Sai
And so many others
The intere Konoha 12
They had all tried to save him from himself
And even now.. even After all of that he was pushing them away
"I Can see that you know what i am Talking about..." Itachi Said and Sasuke just nooded
He didn't want to say anything
He was afraid that his voice would break If he tried
