THE UCHIHA HAD ALWAYS BEEN A LONE WOLF IN EVERY ASPECT OF HIS LIFE. In his lifetime, it was hard to trust someone and depend on them knowing that they’d be gone so soon. He had to live with himself on his own while everyone else was vying for the same amount of ambition and power. But, that mindset was something he regretted to have had. However, what else could he have done during that time? He was living in unrest and he was focused on avenging his family. He thought he only had to rely on himself. His heart had locked away gratitude and happiness and replaced them with pure hatred for the world and for everyone. It was only recently was he on the journey to recalibrating himself.
As he stood by the pier of Shoale Beach, his eyes examine the ebb and flow of the calm, spring waves. Maybe someday—when he and Sakura back in their time—he would take the team to the beaches around the world. They could spend their time reclaiming back what was missed and making new memories. He’d even go as far to say he’d gladly take pictures with them. That’s how much he’d missed them all together—and he didn’t even know it.
Though a lone wolf, Sasuke had lived his life with regrets because he wasn’t grateful enough for what he had: a team willing to stand behind him. He ran away from that, and he wouldn’t wish his life on anyone else. Not even his mortal enemy. He was a lone wolf, not because he was raised to be but, because he threw away everything good in his life. He had missed so much. And as he walked away from the pier, he couldn’t help but think what would life be had he not abandoned everything. Had he just listened to Sakura all those years ago. Maybe, just maybe, he would have had something happier. But it was no use crying over spilled milk. What was done is done. He had to live with his own consequences.
He had been alone in his thoughts that he almost did not see another walking on the pier. Stopping just a hair in his tracks, Sasuke looked down and then backed away.
❝ I’m sorry, I didn’t see you. ❞
