Otooto,

My time for existence on this earth is running short. But it is okay, because when I am gone, you will be the hero of our village. That is all I hope for. Otou-san and Kaa-san will be proud of you, when you defeat me. Maybe when I meet them again, I can tell them how much you have grown and that you are not the foolish little brother anymore.

There are a lot of things I know people peg you to be but you are not. I know you are not a murder like me, Otooto, you are just simply misguided. I had wished for you not to go to the Snake Sanin because he is distrustful. Had I known, that things were not to go as I had planned, I would have eliminated Orochimaru when he first joined the Akatsuki.

I know, I had not been the older brother you had wished for and I am sorry for that, Sasuke. If there was one true wish that could be granted, it would be for us to be a family again. That is all I wish for.

When you read this, Otooto, you should know that there are many lies in this world planned to deceive you. Do not be a fool; look underneath the underneath.

Do not cry when you uncovered the truth for the Uchiha massacre; it was for the best. Forever I will be with you.

Itachi.


Wow, first time writing in Itachi's pov ( at least I think so xD) and I hope I managed to keep him in character as much as possible. Anyway, hope you like this little ficlet :)

Review/fav if you love it :D
