Perhaps he could overpower the boy? He did look rather childlike. Sasuke hadn’t gotten a great look at him, at least not beyond the whole “human lantern” bit, but he’d looked rather delicate, and he couldn’t be any older than Sasuke. That could work, he thought, a plan forming in his mind. A drawn out fight would be a bad idea, but if he could just take the boy by surprise, knock him down and then run for it, he might have a chance. He could make it back to the supermarket he came from and have them call the police. And if the boy had a weapon?

His mother was lying on the ground, her face tilted towards the sky and her eyes open.If the boy had a weapon, he would die fighting ( ... )

To his surprise, though, the boy just laughed. Yellow lights flickered out into the streets as he doubled over, giggling. It was a nice sound, Sasuke decided, open and clear. It was the sort of laughter that made you want to join in.

But still, he had a reputation to uphold, so he just scowled and said, “It wasn’t that funny, idiot.”

“I know, I know,” The boy said, wiping at his eyes. “I just….” He looked away for a moment, an odd expression on his face. “It’s just been a while since I’ve had company.”

“Anyway,” he said, shaking his thoughts away. “You’re right.” He held out one shimmering hand. “The name’s Uzumaki Naruto. And you?”

Sasuke stared at the hand for a moment, weighing his options. If the boy wanted to kill him, he could have done so several times already, so it wasn’t like giving out his name would put him in much more danger. Could the boy’s hand burn him? It did look like fire, after all.

“We are not cowards,” his father said as he stared out into the sunset.“Uchiha Sasuke,” he said, reaching out and shaking ( ... )

There will be time to murder and create. . .
Time for you and time for me,
And time yet for a hundred indecisions,
And for a hundred visions and revisions,
Before the taking of a toast and tea.--Love Song of Alfred J. Prufrock

Before losing his breath, he almost lost all hope, the best thing he could do was making some movements, and even they worsen his position. Since he had to decide, whether this move was bad or worse, he cannot stop. And those movements were indeed the great lose. But deep inside, he smiled, since all of those were just a large set of zugzwang.

Even in his current status, a killing doll without a flash in eyes, his consciousness still saw the hope. Though all of his pieces almost were got rid out of the stage, there was an unsighted pawn that he turned. His last chess piece still had not been removed yet. It waited to change into the fierce and powerful piece, waited to move in the right time. That will be his final movement. It could succeed, it could be failed.

Like what his master always said “wait your time and hold that hope”.

Note: I Believe Itachi first met with Madara when his was 11 years old, after enlisted in anbu. And I count that is A BOY.

This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man. -- Shakespeare, Hamlet

Hey, I just drew this a couple of weeks ago, and it would be so awesome if someone in anon-land would write a fic based on it.

Sorry for asking so many question, but
- who is the guy (girl?) holding Itachi?
- is 'Pieta' a name or the Italian word for piety?
- is the jutsu supposed to be a healing jutsu, or some rasengan/chidori derivate?

Re: Uchiha Pieta anonymous February 3 2011, 12:24:20 UTC
Not OP but I think I can answer at least the first 2 questions:
- The woman holding Itachi I believe is his mother, Mikoto.
- As for Pieta (or more correctly it should be 'pietà', yes it means piety and it is also referred to the drawing itself, which is a Uchiha adaptation of Michelangelo's sculpture representing the Virgin Mary holding Jesus...

ANBU or Kakashi-centric preferred. Other characters - but not OCs - are fine too (: anonymous February 3 2011, 05:16:45 UTC
Dulce et Decorum Est, by Wilfred Owen.

a small quote from the poem:
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori.

Beautiful poem, OP, great choice: it's one of my favorites. :)

Kakashi had had no intention of accepting the Hokage's request; he didn't want to go at the Academy, stand there in front of a class full of six year olds and feed them the same bullshit someone had fed him when he was even younger than them - it wasn't right to warp the minds of kids that way... deceiving them into thinking fighting and dying for the village, for their home, was honorable... the truth was, wars were the most decaying and dirty and despicable affairs anyone could ever think of partecipate into. There is nothing sweet in watching as dozen of bodies (enemies or allies alike) fall lifeless on the bloody ground - or thrash on the earth with mortal injures that were not enough to kill a person on the moment - and there was nothing worse than sitting at the camp, at night after a battle, and not be able to sleep because of the gurgling sounds and the pained, pitiful moans of those slowly dying ( ... )

Very true, anon. Naruto, I guess due to the demographic it aims for, doesn't address the more realistic side of war and fighting very much, so thank you for this perspective.

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it :)
The poem itself is realistic and I tried to keep the feel of it... and I agree with you on the fact that the manga doesn't focus on the brutal part of wars because of the average age of those reading it... ^^
