Itachi's voice was almost drowned by sobs, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of his soul.
He slowly raised his head, his eyes traversing the mist of time, trying to touch the softest part of Sasuke's heart.
"I know that my choice has made you bear too many burdens that should not belong to you. But please believe that every step I take is for a greater goal - a world without sacrifice and hatred. Even if my existence has turned into endless darkness in your heart, I hope you can find a ray of light and a ray of strength to move forward."
Sasuke clenched his fists, his nails deeply embedded in his palms, as if this could alleviate the tearing feeling in his heart.
His eyes lingered in Itachi's words, with both the flames of anger and the complexity of being touched.
The days in the empire made him feel things that he could not perceive when he was a child.
For example, at that time, people in the tribe were always worried and frowned.
But it was different in the empire. Whether children or women, they would say hello to their tribesmen when they met them outside, and then chat enthusiastically for a long time.
"Why do you think your sacrifice is right? Why do you think I can understand your difficulties? You destroyed everything I have, including my memories of home and my trust in my brother!"
Sasuke's voice was full of hysterical accusations, and every word seemed to be squeezed out of his broken heart.
Itachi's tears slid silently and dripped on the cold ground, as if mourning the past.
"Sasuke, I don't ask you to understand, and I am not qualified to ask you to forgive. I just hope you can live your own way and not be bound by hatred. Maybe one day, when you stand higher than me and look back, you will understand that everything I did was not just out of personal will, but a deep desire for peace."
The air was filled with heavy silence, and the eyes of the two brothers met in the air, but it seemed that there was an insurmountable gap between them.
"Desire for peace...tsk tsk..."
Sasuke's mouth curled up a sarcastic smile, and that smile hid deep helplessness and sadness.
"Itachi, have you turned this desire into a cold excuse to raise the butcher knife against your own people? In your heart, is the weight of peace heavier than the lives of your people?"
Itachi's eyes were deep, as if they could swallow all the light. His throat was dry, and every word seemed to be squeezed out with all his strength: "Sasuke... I... I just want a world without bloodshed. I thought that was the only way out. However, every time I closed my eyes, the faces of the people who fell under my sword would appear, and their silent questions pierced my heart like a sharp blade."
Sasuke's laughter echoed in the empty space, intertwined with pain and despair, and his tears silently slid down, dripping on the cold ground and blending with the dust.
"Itachi, your world is too narrow, so narrow that it can only accommodate your 'peace'. Have you ever thought that if you had a little more patience and trust at that time, and waited for the empire to appear, you could lead us to the light. But you didn't, you chose a lonely and bloody road."
"Every time, when I eat at the table in this world with my parents and brother, my heart feels like being pierced by thousands of needles at the same time. That warmth, that feeling of belonging to home, is like stolen happiness to me, with unspeakable bitterness. Itachi, you can't understand it at all!!"
Itachi's eyes flashed with a trace of pain and struggle, and he spoke with difficulty: "Sasuke, I... I never thought of hurting you, let alone making our family fragmented. I was just too scared, afraid that the tragedy of history would repeat itself, and afraid that our people would fall into endless war again. I was wrong, I used the wrong method, but I have never regretted my pursuit of peace."
Sasuke watched this scene quietly, his heart full of complex emotions.
Myself and my brother in that world... are so miserable...
If it weren't for the Emperor... would he have made the same mistake? "Itachi, if you hadn't acted so quickly against the tribesmen, we could have lived such a beautiful life!!"
"Do you know how bitter and bitter my heart is every time I eat with my parents and brother in this world?"
"Itachi, you don't know, because you are a selfish ghost living in your own world!"
Sasuke has already burst into tears, and he no longer looks at Uchiha Itachi.
"Nothing else you want to ask?"
Sasuke looked at Sasuke, and there was no contempt for him as a man who was still crying, only sympathy.
"No..."
"Then I will hand him over to the family."
"Well..."
"He may suffer a lot for his sins."Sasuke was stunned by what Sasuke said, but he quickly recovered and continued to move forward.
"That's him... He deserved it."
Uchiha Itachi was sent to the Uchiha clan.
His crimes were made public, but because he was not the only one who slaughtered the clan, there was also a man named Uchiha Obito, so his punishment was temporarily shelved.
But according to the news Sasuke heard.
They are bound to die.
It's just a matter of how long it takes to die...
Imperial Konoha.
This is the center of the world and the area where Uchiha Senju often stays.
After the meeting, Uchiha Fu Yue knocked on Uchiha Senju's door.
"Come in."
Uchiha Senju's loud voice came.
In the room, his three shadow clones were handling affairs.
He lowered his head and overlooked the entire Konoha and the ninja world.
"Fu Yue, you are here."
Uchiha Fu Yue bowed his head slightly to show respect.
"Master Senju...are you free now?"
"If you have something to say, please tell me."
"You have previously designated a talent support and recruitment plan. Now...the parallel world is open, and many controversial talents may appear one after another. I want to know...your attitude!"
The shadow clones are all busy, and as for Uchiha Senju, he was slightly stunned.
"My attitude?"
He showed a playful smile at the corner of his mouth.
"My attitude is not important, what is important is the attitude of the people!"
Uchiha Fu Yue said nothing, still maintaining a respectful attitude.
"Okay, I know you are asking about Itachi. He is a talent. Let me ask you, is our empire short of talents now?"
Uchiha Fu Yue shook his head in confusion.
"No."
Uchiha Senju smiled.
"If that's the case, what difference does it make if there's one more or one less?"
"I'm not afraid of a guy who can kill his own parents, including children in his family, but I don't know if you're afraid of him staying in the family."
"It's not up to me to decide how to deal with him, it's up to you Uchiha people."
Uchiha Fu Yue nodded when he heard this.
"Yes! I understand! Thank you, Master Senju."
He bowed, then gently closed the door and left.
