Discussion: How the Nine-Tails Lead the Naruto

Sasuke clenched his fists: "Do you still expect their forgiveness?"

Itachi shook his head, his tone free and easy but extremely sad: "I don't deserve anyone's forgiveness. Even if my parents say they have never blamed me, even if I am still their proud child, in my heart, I am just an executioner."

"...A man who killed his loved ones...an executioner who does not deserve anyone's forgiveness..."

"Those who take action against their companions are destined to end badly..."

Itachi's tone did not fluctuate much, but the tears flowing from the corners of his eyes were like a sad song, but they were accompanied by that seemingly gentle smile. Three completely different emotions were reflected in this Itachi's face.

There is no sense of violation and.

Sasuke took a deep breath and unclenched his fist.

He seemed to think for a moment, and then he suddenly sneered and said as if he was mocking himself: "I thought you were going to say something. Everyone in the village is your companion. It is better to save the village than to sacrifice the Uchiha clan... ...Such words, but you told me that it was for peace, for Uchiha's arrogance and pride."

"Heh...it's really...an answer beyond my expectation."

Sasuke laughed at himself. He lay down and covered his face with his hands. Between the invisible palms, a tear flowed down between his fingers: "Itachi, peace... Uchiha's pride... …Is it that important?”

"Is it more important than mom and dad?"

Sasuke seemed to understand, but seemed a little dazed.

He knew the reason why Itachi massacred the entire clan. Although he couldn't understand it, he knew the cause and effect, but... the only thing he couldn't imagine was killing his parents.

Itachi looked at Sasuke's current appearance and said slowly: "You must be able to make your own judgment now, just like I was back then."

Fugaku and Mikoto...the two of them died in a fight rather than at Itachi's hands, and this fight lasted for thousands of years.

Itachi closed his eyes, with an unprecedented relaxed look on his face: "If you are now, you will definitely find the right path."

He opened his eyes, and the sadness and sorrow in his eyes disappeared, leaving only the tenderness that had never changed.

He stood up slowly and said as he left his seat and walked towards the center of the room: "Sasuke, I made the wrong choice, but I have never regretted it."

Just like mom and dad.

No matter what choice you make, you are the child (brother) that makes us proud.

Sasuke stared blankly at Itachi's back, and the tears he shed unknowingly blurred his vision: "Nine Lamas said... life is composed of countless multiple-choice questions. No matter you choose it or not, that question will Over there."

Standing in the sunlight coming from the window, Itachi turned his head with a gentle smile: "Kyuubi?"

"No one can make the right choice forever." Sasuke stood up, wiped the tears from his face, and made his vision clear again, "Behind every choice is a mistake, and you don't know what this mistake will bring. Consequences, so you stand sadly in front of the multiple-choice questions, watching others pass all the way, but you are stagnant."

"So, instead of lingering in front of the multiple-choice questions, afraid of making mistakes, it is better to let go and do the questions that have no correct options in the first place."

"Only when you really make a mistake will you know whether that mistake was worth making."

"The existence of family and companions is to try their best to help you eliminate those mistakes that are not worth making when you stop moving forward, and then look at your back with a smile...or make that mistake with you... It’s a mistake worth making.”

Sasuke raised his feet and came behind Itachi, looking at Itachi's back like this: "You made a mistake in a multiple-choice question, but you think this mistake is worth making, then don't regret it and don't care about the other option. .”

"In life, there is no chance to make a new choice."

Itachi stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to catch the light cast from the window, but when he opened his palm, it was indeed blank: "That's really good. I have seen the Nine-Tails. The Nine-Tails Rebellion about 15 years ago. , Kyuubi at that time didn’t look like someone who could say this.”

"Because no one has communicated with him, because everyone feels that he is a mistake." Sasuke replied softly.

"Yes..." Itachi smiled, "Because... there has been no communication... everyone has stagnated. Then no one knows whether the mistakes behind the answers are worth making."

After saying that, Itachi turned his head and smiled brighter: "You have grown up, Sasuke."

Sasuke clenched his fists, his lips trembled, but he said nothing.

Itachi turned to face Sasuke, the three Magatama Sharingan appeared in his eyes: "Finally, let me see your current strength, consider it the last gift I leave you."

"I don't need such a gift." Sasuke's body stiffened, and his voice was trembling. "Even without your eyes, my eyes will not be blind. The power of the Six Paths is enough to support me..."

"More than that." Itachi interrupted Sasuke, "Is this not the only enemy you have to face? Or do you want to hide behind your companions and watch them eliminate wrong options for you?"

This was the only thing Sasuke couldn't accept.

Seeing Sasuke's heart, Itachi smiled and put on his posture: "I've had enough Sasuke. I've never felt as relaxed as I do now, so before leaving, let me be a little more willful."

"Sasuke, please..."

"kill me……"

"Don't let me live in this body anymore..."

"Let me, a traitor, get the ending I deserve."

Sasuke's body began to tremble unconsciously. He lowered his head and said with a choked voice, "Brother, are you being too selfish..."

"Leave all the burdens to me... just talk about it for the sake of peace... for the pride of Uchiha... even if there is no such thing... they... how can they compare to family?"

Itachi smiled softly: "You have grown up, Sasuke. I'm sorry, you can never forgive me and hate me forever. However, I am a little tired, so the rest is left to you, no matter what you do What kind of choice..."

"I will always love you."

"Too cunning..." Sasuke clenched his fists tightly, his body was shaking completely uncontrollably, and his choking voice was so soft that he couldn't even hear it, "You didn't believe me or take me seriously before, but now But to say it like this...wouldn't it be a bit too cunning..."

"You too...Dad too...can't you value me since you were a child?"

"There are obviously better solutions, and there are obviously more options that can be tried..."

"Why do you have to choose the wrong one..."

Itachi's smile was extremely gentle: "Because, we are Uchiha."
