Orochimaru? That might have been easier to deal with. No this wasn’t one of the serpent’s labs, what’s more is Orochimaru wouldn’t need to drug him. He’d been out of the hideout to eat something at a cafe before the moved to another hideout. He had been fully committed to doing whatever it took to kill his brother, even at the cost of his own welfare, the snake sage was aware of this. So no, it couldn’t be the Sannin… Then drugged him… who put him in this cage…?
The eerie light suggested this was a lab of some sort. His attention was drawn to some shifting movement and a familiar voice saying his name. “Itachi…!” He practically spat the name of his brother, venomous and soaked with years of loathing, hatred but most of all hurt and betrayed. Why was he here? Where were they…? No matter, the younger Uchiha may not be strong enough yet but he would be more than happy to strike at his brother… just as soon as he got these shackles off his arms and hands.
His hands seemed to be encased, preventing even hand seals from being formed. Damn it! He was a sitting duck and Itachi was right there in front of him! That’s when he heard it, footsteps approaching from the darkness. The figure looked… like an older male figure as the light barely outlined him… who was that?
⦓義務⦔–––
Itachi’s eyes flickered over to Sasuke as he said his name aloud and he shook his head--he could already tell someone was coming and the sinking feeling in his heart only increased tenfold as he realized who it was. Danzo. It was Danzo of all people.. He stood a little straighter and narrowed his eyes. If Sasuke was chained..then why wasn’t he? He guessed that it was because Danzo assumed he’d been conditioned enough..but that was before the night of the massacre--before he realized that what he did was wrong and that their issues could have been resolved without going to those lengths.
The light shifted and he squinted at the brightness of it. He knew this was specifically designed to make his sharingan almost useless--the bright light would make his eyes sensitive so he would have to stop using it..too bad that he was blind without his sharingan--that he wouldn’t be able to see without it. He wouldn’t be turning his sharingan off. He would have to protect them both from Danzo.. seeing as Danzo could reveal his past. What he’d done and why. And then it would hurt Sasuke even more than he already had.
It wouldn’t hurt Danzo at all to break Sasuke. His sharingan spun. He was ready for whatever Danzo chose to do. “Danzo,” Itachi greeted curtly, “It’s too soon.” If he would have ever seen that man again..alive..it would be too soon. “Why are we here?” Itachi questioned.
He needed to know. He needed to formulate a plan to get them out of there.
