Chapter 3

(Naruto Shippuden) - Reunion team 7 (Kakashi, Naruto, Sasuke y Sakura)

After the death of my brother, I couldn't help feeling completely empty.

As time went by, hate entered into me. It was no longer towards my brother, those feelings were wrongly channeled towards him, by truly annoying people. Although I did not fully understand Itachi's feelings, the pain of his entire life only generated more anger, I could imagine how everyone in the village was happy, happy at his ribs. They did not understand the true pain, the true sacrifice that had been made for them. As something of fate, team seven got in my way again. That day I felt lost.

I couldn't understand what had happened, I came back overwhelmed and without understanding myself. Tsk, I was again in my thoughts. Again Naruto made me believe I was important, as important as he was to me. What did it mean to be my friend? It was true that, for me, he was the only friend I had ever had, but for him... it was illogical that he thought of me as one. Hadn't he been in the same place I did a few moments ago? What had he not seen everything I was able to do? Hadn't he seen the immense rancor that ran in my blood?

Although these questions were far fetched, it was better than thinking about the fact that ... tsk, I had done it again. Without being able to avoid my thoughts, I went back to the past once more. This was the second time; the second time Sakura had tried to kill me. Not only that, but she had wanted to fool me, she had even reminded me of the night I left Konoha, things like that only made me confused even more. Having reached that point, coming from her... she had really changed. I remember seeing a ray of light in my complete darkness when she said she wanted to come with me, but something wasn't right, it didn't make sense.

And indeed I did not have it. I was a potential enemy of Konoha and she wouldn't betray her comrades, not for someone like me. But even for me, it was hard to see that radical change in her. I understood, but that didn't mean it didn't hurt. Pain. That feeling that keeps us strong at the end of everything. I felt pain because of the fact that Sakura had severed her ties with me. That was an easy thing to do, after all, I didn't deserve them, after all, it was the most normal thing to do and nobody could love anyone else that way. Despite the immense hatred I carried in my chest, seeing Naruto and Sakura, somehow calmed my mind, even for a few moments. It was at those moments, when I realized that I had not cut those links.

But my mind always returned to Sakura. I assumed it was normal, to feel that way. I understood that for Naruto, the only way to clarify something with me was to fight. Measuring his determination and ability, just as I did too. But with Sakura it was different, she didn't need to do that with me, if there was a reason she wanted to kill me, it was simply because of the person I had become.

Thinking about that generated a kind of anguish, I felt disappointed. I didn't expect someone to love me despite everything, I didn't really expect anyone to love me at all. I simply remembered those days when we were little, wanting to stop time there.

- Flashback –

I was a happy child. I mean the moments when I never thought about what could happen to Itachi, to my family.

I always liked to train. I trained to challenge Itachi, to surprise my father. A leaf moved behind me.

- What do you want? - I said a little annoying. Despite being a happy child, I was always introverted and at that time, my family was everything, I had never had many friends to say, nor was I interested in it.

- I'm ... sorry - said a shy voice.

>> I had already seen that girl watching me before. I cannot deny that she is pretty, although she looks silly, she never finishes speaking to me <<
