Love, Itachi ➛ Itachixreader

3 Years

The screams of the villagers is the only thing keeping you conscious. You've trained for this, you can't give up now. Not when you're needed the most. 

Konoha Village has been swallowed by flames and the stench of death. The place you loved has now been completely destroyed. Whats even worse, the reason why you loved the village so much was the one destroying it. 

Betrayal. Death. Anguish. Hate.

Dark emotions try to take over your mind. The weight of the situation is getting heavier in your heart. Why did he attack the village? What happened to him?

Despite pleas from your body to collapse, you stay on your feet and fight to where your comrades are. You try to provide them with backup, only to be shattered by the scene in front of you.

Your comrades are dying. The ones who you thought were completely invincible are now sprawled out on the battlefield covered in blood and unconscious. You run to each one, seeing if you can do anything to save them. 

Sakura...Shikamaru...Ino...Kiba...Shino...even Naruto, are all dead.

You let out a blood curdling scream. The attacker's attention is drawn to you, now aware of your presence. The eyes you used to stare into are completely unrecognizable and cold. Fire balls shoot at you, but you barely manage to dodge them. 

You take cover as you scream, "Why are you doing this? What happened to you?"

A monotone voice calmly replies "You all live in a fantasy. I'm just bringing you back to reality."

More attacks are thrown at you, chipping away at the rocks you're hiding behind. You quickly move, but not quick enough. Deep red burns are now covering your arm. As you're trying to figure out a strategy to save yourself, you hear a choking cough. You look around to see who made the noise. Someone is alive.

Sasuke was alive, but barely. Blood dripped out of his mouth with every cough. A surge of adrenaline drove you to where Sasuke was as you put up a protective barrier over both of you. With your weakened state, the barrier wouldn't last long. Only long enough for you to give Sasuke quick first aid, although from the looks of his body, it may not do much.

"Y-Y/n" he says when he sees you, choking on blood. He's trying to reach his arm up to you.

You grab his hand as tears start trickling down your cheeks. "I'm here Sasuke, I can save you!"

As you're about to start dressing his wounds, your barrier is destroyed. The murderer stands a good distance away, so he doesn't see Sasuke behind you. You make sure his sight of Sasuke is blocked. You want him to be saved.

"You know this is futile. The ways of this world need to be redone. I thought you understood that, but I was wrong. Now you have to watch as fate takes every single one of your friends." The man lectures, showing no emotions for the lives he just destroyed.

Without any hesitation, fire balls are sent your way again. The only way for you to counter is to send back bolts of lightning, hoping they hit their target. 

Tears are flowing down your face. You mutter, "Itachi...I loved you..."

Itachi didn't hear you, but he read your lips. A painful expression covers his face as he sends even more attacks at you. You notice the all familiar red gleam in his eyes as he activates his Sharingan. It's only a matter of time now until you're dead.

Sasuke coughs behind you as he tries to yell out your name. You look over your shoulder as he says, "Y/n, fix this. You may not remember this when you're back-cough-but try. He, ugh, loved you. Save him, y/n."
