Of all people, Uchiha Sasuke knew very well how many strings held him back in the pursuit of his destiny, his goal, and his distant, seemingly unattainable ambition. Despite the fact that he would never be able to admit it, he knew better than anyone else just how much he was being manipulated by Uchiha Itachi. Sasuke had always hated being used, yet somehow he had eased into his pitiful life with Itachi in some far away place, pulling the strings of his fate. He hated it, but he had already grown used to it.
There was always a choice to be made, he knew. For Sasuke, there was two different paths of life for him. One was to draw nearer to the wires that bound him and retain at least a bit of his sanity with smiling and loving comrades surrounding him. The other path, the path embedded with tears and blood seeping into darkness, was to break away from those smiling and loving comrades, snip the wires that held him back and become a lifeless puppet blindly chasing after its master that manipulates it.
Though at sometimes he deceived himself to think that he could live to be happy, Sasuke knew it was impossible. From the moment he had sworn to avenge his family, there could be no happiness in his life. He was an avenger; he could not afford restraints. The people he cared about most: Kakashi, Sakura, and Naruto were hindrances, the wires that tied him back from breaking away from sanity and pursuing Itachi to the depths of hell.
Those fragile wires were so easy to snip away, and the only remnant they left behind was a wavering feeling of bitterness in the pits of his soul. The moment he took his first steps away from Naruto’s anguished unconscious face, Sasuke became a puppet under Itachi’s manipulation on his soul once again. The strings of his existence, the wires of his sanity and resistance had been neatly clipped into pieces. A puppet without strings is lifeless and serves as nothing but an empty doll.
Itachi was always playing with him like a doll anyway. If Sasuke was the puppet, Itachi was surely his master. A puppet cannot live without its master though. So as Sasuke strived harder for Itachi’s defeat, he also crept closer to his own demise.
Uchiha Itachi was his obsession. Sasuke would rather be a wireless puppet with an empty soul to strive to be near him, than to be deceivingly happy and tied away from him. Sasuke was ready for the day he would be able to face his brother again, even if it meant kissing death himself.
After all, who would be upset if he died? As of the time he broke away from Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke was wireless.
