eight crows (朱) action

[yourhatred]

Itachi, dressed warmly, has started a small campfire to the side of community building two. There, one can find the ninja cooking... sweet potatoes? And slow roasted tomatoes.

Sometimes he just needs an open fire. That and some time to think.

What is it they say about the best laid plans? He's sure the answer accounts for his current situation no matter what world one happens to be from.]

[A pause.]

Is Naruto dead?

[felltohate.livejournal.com]

[yourhatred.livejournal.com]

Answer the question.

Then you're wrong, and there's still hope.

[Itachi is unfazed.] You know, he told me once that he was more of a brother to you than I was.

[yourhatred.livejournal.com]

At what point did you start to hate him?

[felltohate.livejournal.com]

[yourhatred.livejournal.com]

This is about you just as much as it's about him. Therefore, it matters.

Then, my foolish little brother, what do you care about?

[felltohate.livejournal.com]

[yourhatred.livejournal.com]

And if you manage that - what then?

[Itachi closes his eyes and turns away, stoking the fire.]

That is why you will lose.

Hmn.

[He prods at the fire some more, unnerved by the outburst.] That's it, then.

[It seems Sasuke might have misunderstood him. He'd meant 'that's it' as in that was the source of the problem. He allows Sasuke to stand, however, cutting him off only as he starts to walk.]

I should have realized you'd still have jealousy issues.

Are you going to try and argue that you're not?

Where did that arrow come from. :|a
