Author's Note: These oneshots are old. Very old. So please be mindful of that in your reviews. I know the plot, including Itachi's motivations, in Naruto has changed immeasurably.

P.s: Whoever wrote these words: "To be strong is to be isolated. To be isolated is to be cold, to be cold is to hold only hate" they are owned by you. I have no Idea what Fanfiction they are from if they are from a fanfiction at all. Just trying to give credit where credit is due.

On with the show...


This is the truth, little brother. I am not as I had shown you.

Cold.

I am able to kill without mercy.

Murder.

You wonder why I call you foolish.

Foolish.

You could not see who I was.

Blind.

Compassion was not a part of my life.

Unlike yours.

To be strong is to be isolated. To be isolated is to be cold. To be cold...

I realize now...

is to hold only hate.

you will never have enough hate.

"Foolish little brother, you made bonds without knowing and now you have ruined any possibility of killing me and ending up as the victor."

Because your hate for me is tied down...

"No."

"By your comrades, by your friends, by Team Seven."

"I broke away from them long ago, Itachi."

Foolish little brother.

Blind once again.

"Those ties can never be undone. You are imprisoned."

"Die!"

A clash between two pairs of powerful, fatal eyes.

Foolish little brother, this jutsu may kill me. But you have lost as well.

...Brings forth the end of a clan that was condemned from the start.
