The prose is quite well done

Great Googly Moogly. I second Pippin Longstocking- sweet tapdancing deities sound about right!

A good story, but "thanks to all set in motion by his fathers schemes" doesnt account for Konoha suffocating the Uchiha into a position that the only way they could breathe was to fight.

This was...

Beautiful.

So so well done.

There's nothing more I can say.

I have no words, just...sweet tap dancing Jesus that was morbidly brilliant.

I can't help but feel really bad for Itachi. He murdered his whole clan - his family, and wound up sparing a dickhead of a brother. I know I'm not all heroic and all that, but if I honestly had to decide between my family and my town(village) I'd sure as hell choose my family. He chose a village that stole the eyes of his family members and banished him for doing what was "right". Itachi really got the short end of the stick...

This is absolutley amazing! I've read this over too many times. Each time it seems to come alive even more. I'm actually shocked to see that they's only one comment! It surely deserves more!

This IS a beautiful piece, even in its grief and darkness.

You can feel everything Itachi was giving up here thanks to your beautifully descriptive prose. We feel his connection to Konoha, the clan, and his girl, and it's evident how much he's giving up.

Wonderful job.
