Night, as black as it was did not lessen the amount of blood he could see splattered on his hands and on his clothes.
But as he wiped the blood off his blade and sheathed it back into its scabbard, he distastefully touched the blood on his lips with his tongue and realized it wasn't so bad.

He took one more glanced around the village and then disappeared into the night.
Yes, it wasn't so bad.
When the going gets tough, just remember your big brother and what you have to do.
A/N: Non-compliant with the latest manga chapters. About chapter 335 to recent. Because Sasuke apparently is still a softie. Not that I'm complaining. Just amused.
