I wonder who will be next. Gaara? His brother? Orochimaru? The pagoda has become a hotel for shinobi.

Keep in mind, however, that I won't be fixing what he has broken.

Aaron, you would do well to train with him; he has the same determination that you do. Just don't pick up his habits. Or clothes.

Our relations, Sasuke.

What about them?

They've gone beyond what is appropriate. What happened in the past cannot happen again.

We are brothers. Nothing more.

Where is my say in this?

I thought I could get a say in who I spend my time with. I am conscious of my own decisions.

Good, now that you have it out of your system...

You're welcome to spend time with whomever you choose to, be it myself or Aaron, or someone completely different.

I simply regret the time spent between you and I can no longer be of the intimate nature it mistakenly was previous.

"Mistakenly"?

Who are you trying to "save" me from this time, Itachi?

I would think it obvious.

I make my own decisions. Stop trying to protect me from everything.
