FOR THE DEAD


Sasuke wasn't born a murderer.

Sasuke wasn't a lot of things.

Sasuke was a lot of things.

His brother, however, was an entirely different story.

They were on different sides of the spectrum, threatening to intertwine.

…..Sasuke didn't kill an entire village………

Naruto walked with clear, even steps, winding through the streets of Kohona.

..Sasuke didn't kill his family……

The sun was annoying bright, lighting different places of the town that sparked something dark in his mind. He scowled.

…..Sasuke doesn't kill his friends….

He brushed off people who tried to talk to him, including Sakura, who looked more surprised at the action than angry.

…..Sasuke just leaves us for dead…….

And that was murder enough.
