[believeit]

So he told you the truth about it all, huh.

[He'd expected it, Itachi said that he would, after all.]

I mean, all that stuff about the village, and what your clan were doing and.. yeah.

Voice - Private

[beforethedarkness]

Yeah. He did.

Voice - Private

[believeit]

...Maybe I should've told you ages ago. But I didn't know how you'd react to it. I mean you were happy here, right?

Voice - Private

[beforethedarkness]

So you hid the truth to keep me 'happier' in the dark.

You would have let me go on to kill him without knowing, Naruto?

Voice - Private

[believeit]

I wouldn't have let you kill him. There's now way I would've done that. He wasnt here before, so I thought I had time to work out what to say.

Voice - Private

[beforethedarkness]

So it was better to let me go on believing that lie and hating him in the meantime.

Voice - Private

[believeit]

No I--

I dunno Sasuke, I'm not a good talker and it's still weird you not knowing any of this stuff. I guess I was worried that telling you would make you hate everyone from Konoha like it did the first time you found out.

Voice - Private

[beforethedarkness]

... Do you really blame me if I do end up hating Konoha for it?

[He let the words hang, narrowing his eyes at the wall and letting Naruto absorb the words before he goes on to say something else.]

I wasn't wanted there. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been alone after I lost everything. They wanted all of the Uchiha gone -- including me. Including him. How could I still have loyalty to that place when its people didn't accept me at all?

How could I call that place my home?

Voice - Private

[believeit]

I wanted you there.

[It was the truth. He shouldn't have to say why either, Sasuke should know.]

Voice - Private

[beforethedarkness]

...

You were the only one.

Maybe Kakashi and Sakura did after we were put on the same team. But you were the only one who did from the start.

Voice - Private

[believeit]

Sasuke, the whole village used to hate me too, remember. There were times when I thought about revenge, just like you.

Voice - Private

[beforethedarkness]

What stopped you?

Voice - Private

[believeit]

I met you, and Iruka-sensei.

Voice - Private

[beforethedarkness]

[Long pause.]

What did I have to do with it.

Voice - Private

[believeit]

You knew how it felt, to be alone and not have anyone. In a weird way I was kinda happy to know that I wasn't the only one.

Voice - Private

[beforethedarkness]

...

Maybe sometimes that helped too. But ultimately it didn't change anything.

You at least had someone who really cared - someone that wasn't stolen from you.

Voice - Private

[believeit]

Team Seven cared about you though.

Voice - Private

[beforethedarkness]

Because you were forced to be with me.

Voice - Private

[believeit]

...Sasuke.

Voice - Private

[beforethedarkness]

What.

Voice - Private

[believeit]

Just shut up.

Voice - Private

[beforethedarkness]

[Enjoy that baffled silence because what.]

Voice - Private

[believeit]

It wasn't 'cause we were forced to be on the same team o anything like that. I mean I always wanted to be friends with you, even if I kinda hated you at the same time since you were better than me at everything.

And Sakura-chan.. well, you know how she felt.

Voice - Private

[beforethedarkness]

Neither of you even came close until then.

Voice - Private

[believeit]

I always thought about it y'know. Just like.. going over and talking to you, but I didn't.
