…I don't think I have much to say to you two. I don't have much to say to two annoying, weak, pathetic excuses for ninja. I don't think I have much to say to you two at all.
Except maybe, just maybe, Konoha might've been better than this.
Well, I did choose it and I don't regret it. I've become much, much stronger. It's just that everything here, down to the very last detail, is very different from Konoha. Konoha had been my home for thirteen years; I guess I'm just getting used to it here. After all, I can focus so much better here and I won't have any distractions.
It's dark here.
I'm used to the dark I guess. Everything I've every owned is black. Actually, my life was black and white. And maybe it still is. There might be spots of colour but I don't like it too much. In fact colour kinda scares me…Just a little. Colour was so different from what I'd known before and I still don't like it one bit.
My world is black and white again.
It's so much simpler this way. There is one road that I will walk. Everything is in black and white. I will get stronger. I will kill Itachi. I will avenge my family. I have already strayed from the path once and I will no stray again.
After all, I'm an avenger.
Nothing more, nothing less that is who I am. That is what I am destined to do. That is my duty. He killed my family. I won't let him get away with it. I will kill him. He will die. But then…
…To tell the truth, I don't know what I will do afterwards.
I don't have any plans after that. All I know is that every day that I haven't killed Itachi I will stay here at Orochimaru's right-hand side. You two understand this. I cannot go on if I'm not strong enough to kill him.
After that, maybe just maybe I'll come back.
Maybe I'll come back to Konoha, I don't know whether I'll be welcome or not but that doesn't matter. Maybe colour isn't that bad after all. Life doesn't have to be black and white if you don't want it to. It can be a range of colours.
Sakura, Naruto I don't think you'll understand this but, I don't regret doing this at all. I don't regret coming to Sound. I've become stronger here. I'm much closer to my goal.
And after all life can't be too bad in black and white if I've survived so many years of it.
