Make Or Break (ItaSaku Fanfic)

Greater good

Sasuke quickly rose from the ground and dusted himself off then continued to draw his kusangi while Itachi glared. "I've always expected this otouto,"(spelling?) Itachi glares drawing a Kunai from his weapon pouch and holding it in a defensive stance. "You finally get the punishment you deserve brother," Sasuke says and Itachi only sighs.

"Before I kill you aniki, tell me, tell me why you did what you did." He says in a threatening tone. Itachi only smiled. "I've told you already otouto, it was to test my own pow-" "NO TELL ME THE TRUTH! WHY DID YOU SLAUGHTER OUR CLAN? WHY DID YOU SPARE ME? DID YOU HAVE AN INCH OF SYMPATHY FOR OUR PARENTS? WHEN YOU MURDERED THEM RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME! WHY WOULD YOU RUIN YOUR LIFE LIKE THAT?!" Sasuke shouts towards Itachi whom only stood there, listening to Sasuke's questions.

"I will never tell you Sasuke, my love for Konoha will forever stay no matter what they did, as should your love. I won't let the truth of the past ruin your life. This was my own fault and I won't let you beat yourself up for my death. I will fight to my very last breath to ensure that you don't have to regret your own decisions." He says and Sasuke smirks.
"So be it." He says both activating their sharingan.

"STOP IT!" A voice shouts from far back at the edge of the clearing. Sakura.

"What are you doing here, Sakura?" Itachi asks her and she runs towards them. "You promised Itachi, that you wouldn't go through with this!" She shouts running into his arms. He wraps his arms around her before lightly pushing her out of the way. "Sakura, no matter why I did it I still did it and I deserve this outcome." He responds and she looks up at him. "Just Tell Him! We-we can start a family and-an we can die happy...together...we-we can just let the past be in the past!" She cries at him and he smiles. "Sakura, there's no garentee that I will make it out of this battle alive but you still have a life full of people who love you. Konoha may take you back. You have my deepest admiration but you can't save me from my fate, love. I love you, even through death." Itachi says casting a genjutsu over her. "Sakura Haruno, my greatest love, you gave me the most wonderful thing life has to offer, happiness, and now I will die happy." Itachi says picking up her limp form and placing her against a cherry blossom tree.

Itachi reached his hand up to catch the blood escaping from his mouth. He was at his limit. He begins creating his susanno around him but soon stops and falls onto his knees coughing up more blood. He knew what he had to do. His last dying action.
He steadily begins walking towards Sasuke whom was leaning against a wall. Itachi, blood still flooding his mouth, reaches his little brother.

Memories flashed through his head from when he would walk Sasuke home from the academy, to when he proposed to Sakura. Sakura. He was addicted to her and it terrified him.

Maybe it was the way she talked to him. Maybe he fell in love with her charming green eyes and the way they sparkled when she looked at his onyx orbs. He couldn't ever put a finger on why he fell in love with her by he did and he fell Hard. She had her whole life ahead of her and he couldn't give her all of what she deserved. He felt selfish. No, love isn't selfish. Love is when you're willing to give up everything you love, own, are, and feel for their happiness and prosperity.

"Next time," Itachi speaks with his final breath giving his signature forehead tap before crashing onto the ground.
Sasuke releases a breath before crashing to the ground in exhaustion. 'I did it' he smiles before he is cut off by a cry.

"ITTTAAACCCHHIII!" A voice screams making Sasuke bottom with sadness.

The genjutsu

Sakura slowly opened her eyes as the radiant beams of sunlight casted into the unfamiliar room she was inside. 'Was it just a dream?' She asks herself but is soon cut off by a voice.
"Mom! Shisui won't give me back my headband!" A girly voice shouts from outside of the room. "The door soon busted open and a black haired boy with glistening dark emerald eyes busted in and jumped into the bed. Following the boy, a girl with black eyes and dark pink hair ran in too. "Mikoto took mine first see? It's in her hand right now!" The boy shouts towards Sakura and Sakura only sits there confused.
"Both of y'all, cut it out!" Another voice calls out from the doorway. Sakura looked up and gasped. "Ita-" "Mikoto, Shisui, leave. I need to speak to your mother for a second." Itachi says and the kids trailed out handing back each other's headband.
"Itachi?" Sakura says confused. "Yeah it's me," He says. "We'll sort of. The genjutsu I casted over you is something I based off of the infinite tsukuyomi. Instead of 72 hours of torture, you get 72 hours of life if I didn't die." Itachi says and Sakura only stands up and hugs him. "What do you mean die?" She asks and he tilts her face up. "This genjutsu is constructed to last 4-5 hours but it's likely the sickness will get to me within 3 so that cuts it down to 24 hours. You should spend your time here living the life you could have had." He says pulling her in for a kiss which she gladly accepts. "Was this suppose to be our future?" She asks and he nods kissing the back of her hand. "Yes love. This is essentially the same thing I gave Izumi when I- when I killed her." He says fighting the urge to remember what he felt when he killed her.
Sakura knew he didn't like talking about Izumi. He was never proud about what he did. He did in fact love Izumi and talking about his ex-lover around Sakura made him feel weak and frail.
She quickly rose her hand to his face. "It's okay Itachi-kun, let's go and meet our kids." She says and he nods opening the door for her and she walks out.
"Mom, Dad! Can we go to the park today? You promised us Papa!" Mikoto asks her parents and Shisui nods with her. "Yeah, you did promise." Sakura gives Itachi a look and he nods. "Okay then, let cook breakfast then we can drop y'all off at the academy. After that we can go to the park, yeah?" Itachi says and the two kids groaned. "But it's going to be so boring at the academy! Can't we just play hooky?" Shisui asks while walking downstairs with his family. " No, if you want to be a strong Shinobi like your mother you can't just skip school, now go get dress so mama and I can fix breakfast." Itachi commands and the two kids trail upstairs to do what their told.

"Let's get started then,"
