The room was quiet, only the sound of medical equipment, Itachi looked at Sasuke, who relied on the help of a ventilator to take in oxygen, the pain in his heart had drowned him, he... I've never seen Sasuke so weak and so fragile.

The physical torture made Sasuke lose a lot of weight in just a few days, giving people the illusion that they didn't dare to use force when touching, as if the boy would shatter if he didn't pay attention to it.

Itachi carefully rubbed Sasuke's pale face, the familiar and long-lost touch from his fingers to the depths of his heart, making his eyes feel sour.

In Itachi's opinion, Sasuke was a divine being from the beginning, so he did not dare to approach with his dirty body, he was a sinner, a sinner with dirty blood on his hands, and Sasuke... At all times, it is as pure as a blank sheet of paper to him.

Can... Itachi ruined this purity step by step, once, he hurt Sasuke with lies, but now he used his own hands to personally push Sasuke to the side of death.

"It's painful," the shrine maiden's voice fell like a feather, and she didn't know when she appeared.

"It's painful," Itachi muttered.

"But your pain is not as good as one ten-thousandth of Sasuke's, and although I didn't know him before, and I didn't know anything about you, I saw it all through the crystal ball," the shrine maiden paused, squinting out the window, and the sound reached Itachi's ears like an ancient incantation.

"In fact, Uchiha Itachi, you are indeed a respectable ninja, but you are not a good brother, at least after the extinction of the clan, at that time, he hated you as an elder brother but destroyed a clan, and at the same time hated his own weakness, you may not know what you meant to him at that time, in fact, being alive is sometimes a kind of torture for some people, when he was still so young, he was still a child, even I looked a little distressed"

The shrine maiden paused, as if remembering something, and after a while, continued to speak.

"In fact, the more he hates you, the more painful he becomes, and in the end he killed you with his own hands, and he knew the truth, probably everyone will go crazy, and then you dealt with the guy called Dou together, he faced the loss of you again, again and again, again and again, you actually dared to say that you planned to leave him again, Uchiha Itachi, you might as well kill him directly."

There was a real feeling of empathy in his heart, and Itachi couldn't help but bend down, and he said, "I... Wrong"

"Maybe it's too late, he's forgiven you more than once" The shrine maiden smiled a little sadly, as if to say to herself, as if to say to Itachi, "I can forgive because that person still wants you to appear in his life, and when you are no longer forgiven, even if you do nothing is useless, because the heart is dead... It's not that he doesn't want you to appear in your life anymore, but he doesn't want to appear in your life anymore, Uchiha Itachi, maybe you don't know Sasuke-kun as we outsiders."

The shrine maiden's words echoed in Itachi's heart over and over again like a curse, and he couldn't forget it until he was dead a hundred years later, and he knew very well how he broke a person's heart, because Sasuke, after learning about that, didn't yell with excitement like before, but... Make your own decisions without saying a word.

In fact, from a certain point of view, Itachi is not wrong, he protects his younger brother, it is a responsibility and a habit, and it is instinct, the fault is wrong... He didn't know what Sasuke had in mind and what he really wanted.

Sasuke too, he decided to take revenge on Itachi from the beginning, but in the other party's fresh breath, he gradually changed his mind, and if it wasn't for the later thing, he would have compromised a long time ago.

Itachi and Sasuke, they were originally such gentle people...
