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 ( ... )

Time for you and time for me,
And time yet for a hundred indecisions,
And for a hundred visions and revisions,

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.

- 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?

- 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...

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.

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 ( ... )

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... ^^
