A better end to 'the life of Uchiha Itachi'?

... I suppose it was a long time coming.

[Look, okay, it takes him almost 600 chapters to speak his mind. So what.]

Comments

[trompeur]

Perhaps it is the end of the beginning for you, then?

[roves]

[ well.

he can't say he doesn't feel you, itachi. if it were him, who knows what kakashi might have done. but the past is past. ]

For Sasuke, at least, it has been.

[ A very long time. ]

[pyrrhous]

[Uchiha Itachi was the start of this mess with Team 7. That's why Kiba, although he realizes how sucky Itachi's life was, doesn't have much of what one would call sympathy towards the guy.]

Way to drag it out, asshole. [FOR LIKE A COUPLE OF HUNDRED CHAPTERS......]

[anbu]

No, I believe this is it.

[trompeur]

They say that death is not the end, do you believe that?

[anbu]

[He made... too many mistakes. But there's no undoing them now.]

I agree.

[anbu]

[...ew. Inuzuka clan. Fleas. :T]

My words might not influence Sasuke, but it was the right moment for it.

[Meaning THESE THINGS TAKE TIME.]

[acumens]

Can't say I agree with your roundabout methods, but...

[A long, considerable pause.] ... good job.

[anbu]

I'm afraid I don't.

[pyrrhous]

[WOW NO???? EVEN YOU SAID SO YOURSELF????]

Maybe it'd have helped if you, uh, I dunno, didn't lie your ass out of the mega... megalo... [SCREAMS VOCAB ISN'T HIS STRONG POINT??] ... hugeass hole you dug yourself into!

[trompeur]

A shame.

Emilia LeBlanc. A pleasure.

[anbu]

[Look, it was strategic. You understand.]

I'll admit I did not expect to hear that from you, Nara Shikamaru.

[anbu]

[SHHHHH.

But wow, he doesn't even know what you were trying to say there.] And tell Sasuke sooner? He would not have believed me.

[Listen, Danzou fucked them all up. He just didn't know until... too late.]

[anbu]

Uchiha Itachi.

[As the post says, but it bears repeating.]

[acumens]

Take it as a long overdue compliment. Apologies if it came a little too late.

[Because if Shikamaru was in Itachi's shoes, he might have done the same... especially if it meant a strategic bonus. For him, not everything is so black and white as everyone determined it to be; there's always a rhyme and reason to these things, yeah? Especially in their profession.]

... speaking of apologies. I guess you're due for a big one.

[anbu]

[He nods, accepting that. He's not exactly here for anyone's compliments, but if they feel they need to be given, Itachi won't refuse them.]

Only if you feel it is necessary, I won't ask. I made a choice.

[And a mistake, too. Sasuke's raging issues are a result of that; he should have talked to Sasuke from the beginning. But he was naive.]

[pavonated]

—woah! What chapter are we on now? The thousands?

screams yes

[anbu]

Close, Obito-san.

[pyrrhous]

[Just this face, man?? You're using logic that Kiba's small brain can't follow except not really, this makes perfect sense it's just that Itachi will always be at fault for everything because he's an Uchiha. (fuu)]

Maybe he wouldn't be as fucked if you told him this stuff sooner. You do know he followed that tranny to get stronger, right?

[decks]

[...

What can she honestly say about this? For once around him, she finds herself with nothing to throw at him, no spite or vitriol to dredge up in order to return just a fraction of the hurt his actions caused her team. She still resents him, but she's not heartless. She loves to much, really.]

I wish you'd done this sooner. It might have saved us all a lot of grief.

[Then again, with Sasuke, who knows.]

LMAO why do i let you do this to me i don't even know how obito sounds in canon

[pavonated]

Oh man, are we in the two thousands, then?

Wait, wait, wait—three?

[acumens]

[Shikamaru would have to agree with that last point, but. He won't mention it, because he figures Itachi is getting a lot of shit for it from other people. No need to add to the flames.]

... a choice?

[anbu]

[It's okay he doesn't expect your miniscule canine brain to comprehend the magnitude of which this post represents-- no you're just dumb, Kiba.]

I'm aware. [Tranny........ wow.....] I made a mistake in not telling him from the beginning - [happy??] - but that is the past now.

me neither...... w/e you're flawless

[anbu]

... No, only the hundreds.

[pyrrhous]

[wow w o w rude???]

Admitting your mistakes is great and all, but. You're still a fucking dumbass, man. [HAS ALWAYS WANTED TO SAY THAT NGL HE'S JUST SAYING IT JUST TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT HIMSELF??]
