Family. That's what we were. That's what we used to be. Team 7 that is. We might not have been a normal family by anyone's standards, but we were a family. Too bad it all broke apart the day I choose my old family over my new one. I left them for power. I left them and now we wouldn't ever be able to be a family again. Not like we were before.
Kakashi, our father, had died. And where was I while he took his last breath? Miles away helping the very people that killed him. He might not have been my biological father, but he was the closest thing I could remember having. He was my father and I had helped Killed him.
Naruto, my brother, had been trying so hard to get me to come back home. He had tried time and time again and the only thing I did was hurt him. Sure his physical wounds would heal, but what about emotional? He didn't think he should become Hokage because he couldn't save his brother. If only he could see that I'm too far gone to be saved.
Sakura, I'm not quite sure what she was too be honest. She was the only one of us that had any positive thing come out of this though. She had gotten stronger, for the same reason Naruto had, but she didn't let it run her life like he had. She didn't want to believe that I was too far gone, oh she could see it I'm sure, but she was in denial. I wish she would just accept it.
Then there's me, Sasuke. I was a brother, a crush, and a son. I was a big part of their lives. I suppose it's too bad I couldn't see it earlier. If I had maybe this could've been avoided. I was too blinded by my revenge to see it then, but I see it now. It's too bad it's so far gone. Our family is long gone. Kakashi, our father is dead. Naruto, my brother, no longer believes in himself. Sakura, someone that meant something different to all of us, couldn't accept that I was long gone.
In order to kill the man I hated I had destroyed my family. I had become the very man that I had despised for so long. I wish I had seen it sooner. I wish I hadn't been so naive. There were a lot of things I could've done to prevent this. Too bad I can't change the past. I can't change that in order to avenge my family I had become Itachi.
