another Chance

#33

Looking at the actions of the raven haired ninja Naruto was first surprised not only him but others were too, so surprised that they didn't even notice Itachi who had gained his consciousness and had just opened his eyes, but he caught the fleeting pain and negative emotions in the obsidian eyes of the raven haired ninja. Naruto couldn't say another word to this friend of his who always distanced himself form his own friends, he wanted to say more to persuade him to let him(Naruto) join himself for this training the two of them can handel the situation if something goes wrong after all he's a junchiriki and he's also learning to keep himself under control and not go berserk, they can just mutually restrain each other and there will be kakashi and yamato taichou if anything goes wrong but he heard the raven chuckle and say "I'm selfish.... forgive me Naruto.... or not.... but that's just who I am....I am aware just how much selfish I am.... only my greed for power and my hatred.... have left.... I am greedy and hateful..." he said it so softly with such blank eyes as he continued patting his head as if comforting him but his next words were not comforting "....so don't waste your words, I won't change for anything.... I'll still be selfish.... I'll still not go along your wishes, I'll still 'push you away' because you will just be a hinderance...." his word were cold and so was his voice, his word gave Naruto a feeling as if something was amiss, as if, if he didn't keep sasuke in his sight he (sasuke) might end up disappearing forever, he always felt that sasuke in front him was hinting at something, all his actions and words they always felt as if he was   afraid of something....even ths way he treated him(Naruto) seemed harsh but he felt that he always had a feeling that sasuke was worried and regretting something....he was not clear what it was but there was this strong gut feeling as if he was just punched in his gut, it was making him feel suffocated, he didn't want to lose him but it was as if he was trying to keep sand from slipping through his fingers no matter how much he tried to close the gaps the sand was still seeping through his fingers....he hated this feeling so much....

Itachi who had just woken up heard his brother's voice soft at first ".... forgive me Naruto.... or not.... but that's just who I am....I am aware just how much selfish I am.... only my greed for power and my hatred.... have left.... I am greedy and hateful..." but then there was a pause after which he continued in a cold voice "....so don't waste your words, I won't change for anything.... I'll still be selfish.... I'll still not go along your wishes, I'll still 'push you away' because you will just be a hinderance...." he was not sure what was going on but he was aware that these words were really harsh to the blonde judging by how the blonde was gritting his teeth and how his eyes were furiously refuting but he clenched his fists and was silent as if in a silent protest to what his brother has said but that was not what he was concerned right now, right now he was focused on what his brother had said 'greed?''hate?' is that all that's left to him....he could only imagine how much he's brother was suffering and what that orochimaru must have said to make him feel that way...but he was the culprit too he could blame orochimaru but he was well aware that he also played a major part in his precious sasuke becoming like this...."sasuke...." he called softly with a strong guilt that made even talking feel draining.
His single word made the raven haired ninja focus all his attention to his aniki even holding his breath and subconsciously sharpening all his senses as Itachi's voice was very soft and he sounded so tired, sasuke felt so worried and panicked when he remembered how his aniki suddenly fell down the balcony of this very room, his top priority right now was his aniki he would not let his aniki end up like he did in the past... he'll help his aniki to find a way to reduce the chakra stress, he has already gotten the eyes he'll for sure find another way. He saw Itachi stretching his had out and trying to sit up so he quickly walked besides his aniki's bed and helped his sit up as he wished and stood in that spot looking at him attentively
