Yay angsty fic! In Sasuke's POV.
Veni, Vidi, Vici
Veni. I came.
I came back to the Leaf, back…to my home. Or what was my home in the past. Now it's merely my birthday, a country I no longer associate with. They were still the same. Playing ninja. Acting as though they were a formidable power. I came back to the pink haired nuisance and the blonde idiot.
"Just you wait, I'm gonna save you!" he yelled, tears falling from his determined eyes.
Save me? You cannot save me, Naruto. Nothing can save me. I am too far gone. My soul is shattered…and will never be whole again.
Vidi. I saw.
I saw the reactions to my total defection. Many were looks of shock, some of anguish, and most of hatred. People who considered me their friend and acquaintance now looked upon me with utter disgust. But I let my eyes lingers on only the faces who mattered to me. Saizen, my dear twin, whose left eye stil bares the scar of my rage. And Naruto, my best friend, who'd tried so hard to rescue me from the darkness.
Thank you, both of you. I love you. I just want you to know that.
Vici. I conquered.
I conquered the Leaf Village. It did not take much; they were not prepared. The Hidden Leaf, the greatest in the five nations, crumbled under the hands of one of its top shinobi.
Sometimes I sit in the Hokage seat. The mansion is one of the few buildings left standing, along with my old apartment. Something inside my heart would not let me destroy these buildings. They are…precious to me.
Memories of love. The love I had for my sister annd that loud knucklehead.
A tear slides down my cheek.
Somewhere up above, those two are crying for me as well.
Veni, Vidi, Vici.
I came, I saw, I conquered.
