Sasuke's POV
"You're annoying," I told Sakura. Knowing how much it would hurt her. Knowing that she would throw away everything, just to make me happy. I felt a savage pleasure course through me as I said those words.
Orochimaru may be evil, but he is the only way I can obtain enough power to finally kill my brother.
I'm sorry, Kawai.
