Hi everyone!! :D
This just a little oneshot of Sasuke's thoughts that I threw together. I'm not really sure when.. maybe these are his final thoughts before his death. (No, he hasn't died for real.. just in this fanfic)
Oh, and I almost forgot! ****SPOILER WARNINGS**** for people who haven't read very far into Naruto, this could give away a main piece of the plotline.
Anyway, hope you like it! Please review!
Sasuke had comitted many crimes. He had adbandoned his village, killed without remorse, and willingly joined Orichimaru. He had even murdered his own brother, who, in truth, had only been trying to keep him safe. Desperate for power, he had used many people, and killed many more. But of all his crimes, the worst was the simplest. He had failed to see his friends for their worth.
Sakura Haruno, the pink-haired kuonichi, who had had a crush on him since they were children, had tried to show him. She had been so willing to love him, so willing to ignore his flaws, so willing to give him anything and everything. And how had he repaid her? He'd treated her like dirt. He said horrible things to her, knowing how crushed she would be. He broke her heart.... knowing exactly what he was doing..... then acted like it was nothing.
Kakashi Hatake, his former sensei, who had tried so hard to mentor him, to guide him, to steer him away from the dark path he was headed down. He had taught him the Chidori, he had saved his life countless times. And what had he done? He ignored his teacher's guidance, his attempts to help, and horribly misused the Chidori. It was a power created with love... intended to protect. He had turned it back on itself... and used it for revenge. Most of all, he had failed to protect his comrades. He had ignored the lessons of teamwork and kindness his sensei had stressed the importance of so many times.
Naruto Uzumaki, his closest friend.... perhaps his only friend, as well as his lifelong rival, who had fought and struggled beside hm for so long, trying his hardest to keep up, standing with him, offering him his friendship. And how had he reacted? He had accepted- he had become his comrade.. then thrown it back in his face when he left the village, attempting to kill Naruto when he followed.
Of Sasuke's many crimes, his worst was his blindness.. his inability- no, his refusal, to see the many people so willing to love him, guide him, befriend him, and help him. They had offered so many times, and every time, he had pushed them away. And now he was sorry. But now it was too late.....
