Although he feared such an action, in case the man was to explode into a flock of crows and disappear into the night. “It is my concern.. he’s like a brother to me, I can’t just let him keep up his need for revenge.. because what’ll happen after? He’ll regret it.

Sasuke talked about you so much in school to others.. about how great you were! What happened..?!”
