"Itachi, damn it, at least eat a fried egg before you go!..."
"Waaah..."
At that moment, Sasuke completely broke down. In an instant, his eyes misted over, and tears silently streamed down his cheeks.
He staggered over to Itachi's body. The blood that had flowed from Itachi's cheeks, mouth, and eyes had already congealed. Though the eyeless Itachi looked somewhat terrifying, there was still a trace of peace visible beneath that horror.
It was clear that Itachi had gone peacefully.
He no longer had any regrets. With Naruto around, Sasuke would live well. There was no longer any need for him to worry.
Watching Sasuke sob uncontrollably, Naruto walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him. "Sasuke, listen to your brother Itachi. You have to live well."
"I will live well." Sasuke nodded, then picked Itachi up.
"Sasuke, are you going to bury Itachi in the Uchiha clan cemetery?" Naruto asked as he watched Sasuke carry Itachi's body forward.
Sasuke shook his head. He lowered his gaze to Itachi's face before quietly saying, "No. Brother wouldn't be used to being with the rest of the clan. Because even in death, he'd be too ashamed to face our parents and clansmen, wouldn't he?"
Naruto thought about it and felt that was true. Sigh, one wrong step, and there was no chance to repent for the rest of one's life. "Then where are you taking him?"
A place flashed through Sasuke's mind. The sunset there was beautiful, and it was covered in dandelions. Two figures, one large and one small, ran and laughed there. As he thought of it, a faint smile emerged on Sasuke's tear-streaked face. "I'm taking Brother to a beautiful place. He'll like it there."
"Yes, Brother will definitely like it."
As he spoke, Sasuke looked back.
