"Nii-san." Theres a question on his face and almost on his tongue. It's something somber and dark, from the heavy pit in his gut. He looks from the elder to his hands and then hides them, away with the question. "I want to stop fighting."
itachi wished he would’ve told his parents this same thing. wish he’d have the bravery his brother was showing in this moment. i want to stop fighting. but i don’t know how. the fact of the matter was, it’s difficult to give up the life that had been forced upon them. nerves has his little brother fidgeting ❛ then stop. if you want, i can go to the hokage myself and tell her you want to resign from active duty? ❜ no one had helped him back when he was saburo’s age, but he would do everything in his power to give this young man the world if he so demanded it.
