Sasuke hated autumn. That was the month plants died, insects, and far more. Autumn was the season of death – and the season his clan had died, the season he and his brother's friendship died. When the leaves fell from the trees, a vibrant red in colour, littering the ground, oh how he was reminded of that fateful day. When he walked upon the path of leaves – the path of death – he always watched at the red leaves crumpled and moved under his feet. They always resembled a vibrant yet dried blood, always reminded him of the path he was to walk for the remainder of his days – a path tainted by blood and death.
