The Shinobi Way

Duck hunt

Sasuke P.O.V. {Surprise surprise (~*_*)~ }

 To say I was shocked is an understatement.

As if in slow motion my brother fell limp and cold at my feet.

The truth was finally revealed to me but it was nothing like I expected.

Itachi showed me all of what he endured before his last breath.He was being manipulated by the Hidden Leaf this whole time

...Just one more reason to hate that damned place.Hn..

 Feeling as if all the life had drained from my body I struggled to hold my weight up.

   Quivering my knees fell out from under me as I watched the ground get closer by the second.

Why...

        Why did it have to end like this...

   My vision danced as my head collided with the ground.

...........................................

  A soft afternoon breeze swept through the Uchiha compound.The peaceful quite and warmth surrounded two brothers as they sat side by side.

 One with long silky black locks and the much younger one with spiked short hair.Both immersed in the afternoon bliss trying to enjoy the moment.

After listening in on his father and little brothers exchange he beckoned the boy outside.

 Looking over at the pouting child he smiled half-heartedly.He wanted to remember his brother like this.

So innocent and happy... without a care in the world.

 Feeling the need to give his sibling one last piece of advice he leaned back on the porch.

'Being the best isn't all it's made out to be. When you have power you become arrogant and isolated from the world.' 

He looked over to see his brothers' reaction but earning none he continued. 

'...No matter how coveted and though-after you were in the beginning.

..But with us it's different because you and I are flesh and blood. I'm always going to be there for you, even if it's as an obstacle for you to overcome... 

  Even if you DO hate me. That's what big brothers are for.'

 Finishing his speech he casted a somber look in the boys direction.Slowly a smile weaseled its way on the older boys features....

Oblivious to his brother's inner turmoil the child smiled in return.

Approving of the small yet meaningful gesture, he poked the little boy on the forehead one last time before heading off to live out his nightmare.

...........................................

  A skull shattering jolt went through my head upon collision.

I had exacted my revenge...My onii-san was murdered at my own hands.

  All this wasted time spent on revenge and power

             

 ...but for what?  

I lifted my bandaged hands to my face, staring blanking at the visibly shaking appendages.
