Looking at Sasuke's face twisted by anger, his eyes were like burning flames, serious and fierce, Itachi's heart was filled with complex emotions.
At this moment, he deeply realized that Sasuke in front of him was no longer the brother who needed to hide under his wings for shelter.
The years of tempering and the flames of revenge have forged Sasuke into a warrior with firm will and strong strength.
Itachi took a deep breath, as if to spit out all the heaviness in his chest, and then he slowly opened his mouth, every word seemed to be squeezed out from the bottom of his heart: "Sasuke, everything I do, there are unspeakable hardships behind it. Everything I do is to protect this village, and to protect you, so that you will not be involved in the endless darkness and despair."
Sasuke widened his eyes, his eyes full of disbelief and anger.
His lips trembled, as if he heard the most ridiculous joke in the world: "You... you farted!!"
His voice was hoarse with anger, and every word was like a sharp knife, cutting the air and the brotherhood between them.
"For me?"
Sasuke's face was full of anger, and his eyes seemed to be spewing fire, "Is it for your Sharingan? For me, you slaughtered your family with your own hands, and then let me live in endless pain and hatred. You call this for me?"
Itachi closed his eyes, and tears quietly fell.
When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were full of helplessness, pain and deep sorrow.
"The Uchiha clan attempted to rebel, this is an unchangeable fact. The Konoha high-level gave me two choices, one is to personally destroy the entire clan and save only you; the other is that the entire Uchiha clan is completely exterminated, and then... you will not be spared. I chose the former, and took all the sins and pains with my own hands, just to let you live, live in a world without war and hatred."
Itachi's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Sasuke's heart again and again.
Sasuke clenched his fists, his nails deeply embedded in his palms, and his body shook a few times, as if he would fall down at any time.
His heart was full of confusion and struggle, with both anger and confusion towards Itachi, and shock and confusion about the truth.
At this moment, the emotions between the two brothers were like surging waves, stirring and colliding in each other's hearts.
Itachi's eyes were full of pleading and expectation, he hoped to get Sasuke's understanding and forgiveness; while Sasuke's eyes were full of pain and struggle, he was looking for the answer in his heart, looking for the power to let himself go.
"Hehe... Hehehehahahaha!!!"
"Ridiculous! Really ridiculous! So funny!!!"
Sasuke has gone crazy.
"Konoha is so powerful that it can easily destroy our Uchiha clan?"
"You have the courage and strength to slaughter your own people, but you don't have the courage to lead your people to resist Konoha?"
"Even if our Uchiha clan dies because of resistance, I believe you, me, and my parents will be proud!"
"And you, Itachi..."
"What did you choose to do?"
"You killed the entire family! Just to please and please Konoha!?"
"What did you get? S-level rebel ninja file? Or Konoha's trust?"
Itachi's body trembled slightly, and every word of Sasuke was like a sharp sword, piercing the softest part of his heart.
There was a trace of pain and despair in his eyes, but more of it was deep worry and reluctance for Sasuke.
"Sasuke, you don't understand..."
Itachi's voice was low and hoarse, as if every word was carrying a heavy burden, "Konoha's strength is far beyond your imagination. The resistance of the Uchiha clan will only bring more sacrifices and more despair. Everything I do is to reduce casualties, to protect you, and to protect those innocent people."
"Innocent? Who is innocent?"
Sasuke shouted angrily, his voice echoing in the night sky, with endless sadness and unwillingness, "Is Konoha innocent? Are they more innocent than those clansmen you slaughtered with your own hands?"
Itachi lowered his head.
He couldn't refute Sasuke's words, because those painful facts did exist and were undeniable.
He could only silently bear Sasuke's anger and accusations, hoping that one day Sasuke would understand his difficulties.
"Itachi! You are such a beast! You have so many children, but you only left me. Why did you leave me alone?"
"What harm can they do to Konoha?"
"You are really a coward, a complete coward!!"
"Konoha has always been like this! Hahaha, they only dare to do it to our own people."I'm also curious about how they controlled you, so that you have the courage to attack your parents but not the courage to attack the village!"
"Why don't you fight against the many villages around you who are eyeing you, but instead want to destroy the Uchiha who have been accompanying and protecting Konoha since the birth of the village?"
"Sasuke, you are wrong."
Itachi's voice became firm and powerful.
"I have never tried to please Konoha, nor have I ever tried to please anyone. Everything I have done is out of my duty and belief. Only by sacrificing the small self can we achieve the big self. Only in this way can we protect more people from the invasion of war and hatred. Whether it is the Uchiha clan or the village, they are the same in my heart. "
Sasuke widened his eyes, looking at Itachi's firm eyes, and an inexplicable fear and uneasiness surged in his heart.
He suddenly realized that the man in front of him was no longer the brother he once knew.
Itachi had become strange and distant, and his heart was filled with incomprehensible beliefs and persistence.
"Itachi... you have changed. "
Sasuke's voice trembled, and his eyes were full of confusion and helplessness, "You are no longer the brother who loves me and protects me. You have become a stranger that I cannot understand."
Itachi closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
He felt Sasuke's despair and helplessness, and also felt the irreparable rift between them.
He knew that no matter what he said or did, he could not change Sasuke's anger and accusations against him.
"Sasuke... I'm sorry."
Itachi's voice was low and heavy, "I can't change the past, nor can I make up for the harm I have caused you. But please believe that everything I have done is to protect you and the village. I hope that one day you can let go of hatred, walk out of the haze, and find your own way. "
Sasuke's body trembled slightly, and he looked at Itachi's tired and determined eyes, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.
He was angry and helpless, painful and confused.
He didn't know how to face this strange brother and how to face that painful past.
"Itachi... I hate you! "
Sasuke's voice echoed in the air, with endless sadness and unwillingness, "But I hate myself more! I hate myself for not being able to forgive you, and I hate myself for not being able to walk out of the shadow of hatred!"
Itachi lowered his head, and tears fell again.
He felt Sasuke's inner struggle and pain, and also felt the inseparable family relationship between them.
"Sasuke... forgive me... for the last time..."
