Cat's Notes
This is a set of four simple drabbles. All of them are based off the song What Makes a Man? by City and Colour.
What makes a man walk away from his mind?
Uchiha Itachi wasn't used to such thoughts: murder, blood, carnage. They were thoughts that easily drove any many into insanity. Yet he sat as calm as ever, watching as his mother organized the kitchen, wondering if he could just as easily kill her as he did a possible threat to Konoha. However much he knew that he should not be wondering such a thing. It was going to happen; it was inevitable.
And it was that simple thought, the very existence of that thought, which made him want to walk away from his mind.

What he was doing was right, what he was doing was just, what he was doing would save.
No matter how much he tried the lies he told himself wouldn't hold. At this point, thoughts would only get in his way, thoughts would spell his demise. So he murdered them as well, suffocating them with sheer will. He let his mind go then as he bathed his hands in blood.
