Naruto 576
They meet once more! What will come from it..!?
Sasuke - Wait! Itachi, is that you?!
Itachi - ...
Sasuke - I said wait! Aren't you listening to me dammit!
*Susanoo*
*Susanoo's do a handshake*
Sasuke - That Susanoo... I knew it, so you really are Itachi...
Itachi - Don't tell me... That now you're able to use this technique as well...
Sasuke - How? ... Why are you here?
Itachi - Because of Kabuto's jutsu... I was brought back with Edo Tensei... I can't stop now... There is something I must do...
Sasuke - I don't care about that! Now that you're in front of my very eyes... There is so much I want to hear from you!
Itachi - You still don't listen to what I say, do you?
Sasuke - I don't listen?! You told me to come before you when I have the same eyes! So why are you running away?! Are you feeling guilty because of the lies you told me? Don't you have the courage to tell me the truth?!
Itachi - ...
Sasuke - I know... I know everything! That's why I've decided to destroy Konoha!
Itachi - I told you, while we fought... People live according to what they believe reality is... You don't know if your reality is an illusion or not... About me, the truth is...
Sasuke - I'm not living in your illusion anymore! I can see through it! Because these eyes I have, are yours!
*Itachi's flashback*
Naruto - Even Sasuke understands how much you suffered! But Sasuke doesn't share your goal... He's out to crush Konoha! His own personal revenge against the village that his brother loved and in return was tormented by!
*flashback ends*
Itachi - Seems like your hard headed stubbornness hasn't changed... But... I've heard about the things you have done... You have indeed, changed.
Sasuke - You're wrong! You're the one who changed everything about me at once! I was supposed to die! You were supposed to kill me along with our parents! Yet...
*Sasuke's flashback*
Tobi - ... So Itachi made his choice... He would close the curtains of his clan with his own hands... He didn't betray the clan because of a grudge. He simply had no alternative... The exclusion of the clan from the village's prosperous gains... That was the origin of the feud... No one... No one can blame Itachi for the decision he made after having beared everything on his own.
*flashback ends*
Sasuke - Why me?! Why did you only spare me?!
Itachi - ...
*Sasuke's flashback*
Tobi - Now, do you understand why Itachi wasn't able to kill you? Your life meant more to him than the village itself.
*flashback ends*
Sasuke - Why me?! What difference did I have from mother and father? Why, only me...?
Itachi - You didn't kow anything... You had no idea what the clan was planning... You were just a child... And... I wanted to use your hatred, so I could be judged at your hands when the time came... That's why I failed. The hatred I gave you made you leave the village... The only thing I did was to turn you into a criminal... I wished you would have walked the right path... Before I died, I wanted to carve your road myself... So you wouldn't stray down the wrong one... A road without any wrong turns... I did everything to lure you down that path... I mapped it out with the lies I told you...
Sasuke - You wanted me to walk down such a path without knowing the truth?! Based on lies?! I don't want to walk down such a path!
Itachi - Yeah... Just as you said... You should be the one deciding which path you will take...
Sasuke - I can see through all your lies now! All the lies you told to determine my path!
Itachi - Keh...
Sasuke - What's got you laughing?!
Itachi -
*remembers Naruto* Nothing... I now know that given directions don't determine the path you will follow...
Sasuke - ?!
Itachi - I'm dead, after all... This talk is over...
Sasuke - When you were alive you always said ''Sorry...'' and ran away from me! Now you're dead, but you still wont spare any time for me?!
Itachi - It's not that I'm running away from you... I already told you that I have something important to do...
(Edo Tensei... Must be stopped!)
*scene changes to Edo Madara battlefield*
Madara - You, woman with the medical ninjutsu... Are you the descendant of this guy?
*points at Hashi boob*
Tsunade - So what if I was?!
Madara - If so, you will be the first I will take down...
Tsunade - ...!
Mei - Taking down the medi nin of a platoon first is a known tactic! Do you think we'll let you do that?!
Madara - That's not it... The reason is because this woman is the descendant of Senjuu Hashirama.
Mei - Huh?!
Madara - Hah. A mere medi nin like her can only delay your deaths for a little while.
*at Tsunade* You are worthless when compared to your forefather. Your feats are trivial when you compare them to that of Senjuu Hashirama... The man who could heal his wounds without the need of handsigns, that is the difference between your jutsus! ... That man was called the strongest shinobi! He and I used to battle for our lives! This is child's play, compared to that...
Tsunade - ...
Madara - Compared to him... What powers do you have, even though you're a descendant of him! No mokuton... Your medical jutsus can't hold a candle to his... You are just a weak woman... Weak people are repulsive... Weak Senjuu are even worse!
Raikage - Stop acting so high and mighty while all you do is complain!
Tsunade - I'm Shodai Hokage Senjuu Hashirama's descendant... It's true that I can't use Mokuton... I'm just a woman, whose medical ninjutsu can't even compare to his... ...You call me weak, but you're wrong... The power I inherited isn't that simple... It has been handed down to me through generations... That is my true strenght...
Madara - ...?
Tsunade - Don't underestimate the will of fire!
- LA FIN -
I hope it's a little more understandable now.
