After the Nine-Tails Rebellion

Why was a lapdog acting so proud...

Uchiha Itachi swallowed the words at his lips. No matter how bluntly he put it, Uchiha Obito would probably just grin and assume he was being praised.

This guy was probably beyond saving. As he looked at the houses and families destroyed by the Nine-Tails, his mind was still filled with the girl beside him.

Perhaps he did feel remorse, perhaps he wanted to repent, but it was only a tiny, pitiful little bit.
