I followed the crow for a while. I stopped on a building roof. I saw 3 people. One had red hair, even more red than mine. One had white hair, and another with orange. I saw they were standing in front of Kisame. He seemed to notice me. "You've arrived." He smiled and the crow flew down to sit on my shoulder. "I get it, go on." he said and allowed me to past him, and I did.

"This is... the Uchiha hideout?" I wondered looking at the terraced mountain with trees growing on each level. The crow had stopped flying but would turn his head telling me which direction to go. So far, he was looking straight, so I continued walking straight.

I walked into the compound, down carious hallways, but I stopped hearing 2 familiar voices. It was Sasuke and Itachi, and I slowly walked into the room.

As I stepped in, the crow flew off my shoulder and back to Itachi and disappeared in a flurry of feathers. Sasuke was staring at me. "Why are you here?" he asked me. "You can't stop me." he said and I shook my head.

"You know I won't." I said softly. "However much I want to..." I said softly and gazed at Itachi. "This is something you both decided for yourselves.." I said and I stood on the side. Out of their way, but still able to see the full area of their fight.

"Thank you for coming." Itachi spoke from the atone throne like chair and I nodded. I crossed my arms and leaned against the wall behind me.

"Madara is alive. Whether you believe it or not is up to you." Itachi said.

"He's alive? How old is that man now?" I thought hearing Itachi's comment.

"Stop messing around!" Sasuke yelled.

"People live their lives bound by what they see as 'right' and 'true.' That's what they call, 'reality.' However, 'true' and 'right' are nothing but vague terms. Their reality could turn out to be an illusion. Everyone is living by their on assumptions. Wouldn't you agree?" Itachi asked Sauske.

"What are you getting at?" Sasukse asked.

"Madara being dead was your own convenient assumption. And you were once under the impression that I was a caring older brother." Itachi said to him. I glanced at the look on Sasuke's face. He seemed confused, but I could see pain deep in his eyes. "I continuously pretended to be the brother that you wished for... in order to measure your capacity." Itachi said and Sasuke frowned.

"On the night it happened, I was so young that I pretended it was just a nightmare. I wanted to believe it was just a horrible illusion, but there was no mistaking that it was reality!" Sasuke yelled and shot a Chidori out of his hand behind him, where Itachi now stood. "My eyes are not the same as they were back then!" he declared. "This Sharingan of mine can see right through your illusions!"

"You still like to talk big." Itachi said. "Then again, I suppose they're more than just words this time."

"So does that mean you're finished playing these little games?" Sasuke asked as the "Itachi" he had stabbed disappeared.

"Those were illusions.. but how did I see them too?" I frowned.

"You're certainly strong, but you still lack the same eyes as I." Itachi said. "So, you couldn't kill your closest friend, could you?" he asked. "You'd still come before me with such a naive heart?" he asked him.

"Well then, let's see you use that Mangekyou Sharing of yours to kill me. Unless, you find my strength too much to test your capacity on." Sasuke replied.

Itachi sighed and stood up from the stone throne. "You're certainly confident." he said. They then stood there for a while. Minutes passed as they battled each other through their visual genjutsus.
