A/N: Here's the 3rd chapter! :D
He was lying on his bed… thinking about what would happen the next day. It had been two days since the visit and he was getting impatient. But then again, a part of him was terrified… terrified to imagine what would happen if everything went south. All these years he had managed to drag himself through each day only because he had something to hold on to. That scroll… it had become more like a lifeline to him. No, maybe it wasn’t the scroll. Rather, it was the possibility that it offered…

To see you once again…

But if the Hokage refused him now… the only ray of hope he had would be vanquished. He wouldn’t have anything to go on… He would be neither dead… nor alive.

He thought about Naruto… trying to imagine what he would say about his pathetic attempts at living. The blonde was always concerned about him… always trying to cheer him up. Sasuke had noticed how the faintest blush would appear on his cheeks every time he saw him… he had seen the way he would smile just for him. It wasn’t the goofy and mischievous ones he always flashed. The way he smiled for him… it was soft… and soothing.
The idiot was hopelessly in love with him.

I could have loved him.
But…

Blonde spikes were suddenly replaced with silky black strands.
Ocean blue turned into midnight black.
Tan became pale.

…but I already belong to you.

What was the point of living such an empty life? If only… if only he could end it… once and for all!

“It’s about him Kakashi. I would never do anything to dishonor him.”

He wanted to laugh at his own miserable state. Living like this wasn’t exactly honoring his brother. All Itachi ever wanted was for him to have a life worth living. And here he was… trapped in the web woven by their past… moving neither forward nor backward.

Why are you so selfish?

“I’ll always be there for you… even if I’m just an obstacle for you to overcome.”

Always making excuses…

“Nii-san, will you train with me?”
“Sorry Sasuke. Maybe next time…”

Always leaving me alone…

“Hate me… despise me… live your life in an unsightly way.”

Why can’t you… for once… stay with me…?

“Forgive me Sasuke… But this is it…”

I need you… Don’t you understand…?

“… I will love you forever.”

Itachi…

Uzumaki Naruto was pacing back and forth inside Kakashi’s house… irritation evident in his face. Apparently the Hokage had some urgent business with him and asked him to be here first thing in the morning.
“Gah! I even skipped my morning ramen!” He threw his hands upwards in exasperation. “Where the hell is Kakashi sensei?!”
“Oh! You are already here. Sorry about the delay…”
He turned his head to the direction where the voice was coming from. The Hokage was sitting in the window frame… scratching the back of his head and smiling apologetically.
His brows twitched.
“You still have that habit of being late?!”
“Ah… well…”
“YOU ARE THE HOKAGE FOR GOD’S SAKE!!!”
“Well… you see… I was-”
“Cut it out sensei!” He pouted. “Making lame excuses even now… how old do you think I am anyway? You know I had to-”
“Naruto lis-”
“-skip my breakfast which, let me tell you, is not good for health. Also, I need to start my training-”
“Nar-”
“-for the day… as you know, I will be the next Hokage after all! And-”
“Naruto! Shut your mouth already!!”
He looked at his former sensei who was now glaring at him and swallowed loudly.
Oops! Looks like I’m in trouble!

Hatake Kakashi composed himself and let out a sigh. The blonde was a handful… as always.
“Can we talk about some actually important things now?”
“Huh!?” he looked confused for a moment. “Oh yeah! You called me in to discuss some very serious issue, right?!” he grinned. “So! Tell me Hokage-sama! How can I save the day?!”
The silver haired man suppressed a smile.
Well… I suppose you haven’t changed at all, have you Naruto?

“Naruto, we shall not be having a conversation unless you calm yourself down to a reasonable level.”
“Whaaat?! I am calm!”
Kakashi glared at him.
“Fine! I’ll behave. Now tell me what this is all about!”
“Well…”
“Ah! Don’t make me wait sensei.”
“Naruto, please understand that this is indeed a very delicate issue. I want your full concentration when I talk. Also, don’t interrupt me while I’m talking.”
“…Okay.”
“It’s about Sasuke.”
“What?! What did that bastard do this time? Wait, did he do something? Oh no! Has he left again?!”
“I told you. Do. Not. Interrupt. Me. While. I’m. Talking!”
“Shit!” He lowered his gaze. “Sorry sensei. I just… got a little carried away…”

Sasuke…
Why is it that just hearing your name makes my heart beat like crazy? Pathetic, aren’t I? Falling for a comrade like this… falling for you like this…
You… of all people why did it have to be you?! I hated you! But then… who else could it be? It was you who always accepted me the most… understood the most. We shared a bond… a bond that you called friendship. But for me… it’d already gone far beyond that. I lived for you… breathed for you. Even now… after all this time… I still…
Do you have any idea Sasuke… how truly and madly I am in love with you…?
Do you even care…?

“Alright. Now listen carefully…”
He remained silent for the rest of the time as the Hokage told him about his recent encounter with the Uchiha.

“So… what do you think?”
“….”
“Naruto!”
“…huh!?” he was broken from his trance.
“You are quiet… That is rather unusual…”
“Oh! It’s nothing!” he tried to cover up. “What were you asking again?”
“I asked what you think of this whole situation. I want to know your opinion.”
“My opinion?”
“Yes. Out of everyone in the village, you are the closest to Sasuke. So I want to know what you think before I make any decision.”

What do I think…?
Does it even matter…?
Why Sasuke? After all this time… he’s still more important to you than I am! What haven’t I done… to make you see how much I care? Why won’t you see Sasuke? Why…?
…why won’t you choose me?!

“Sensei… have you taken a proper look at him?”
“What do you mean?”
“Well… if you had, you wouldn’t have to ask for my opinion. You would’ve known exactly what to do.”
He smiled.

Of course… you’ve always been good at hiding things. But you don’t know that I’m always watching you. I see the things others don’t.
I see how you push yourself to live every single day… even though all you want is to leave everything behind and be with him.
I see your eyes… the yearning… the loneliness in them.
I see how broken you are… how torn up your heart is.
And all I want is for you to be happy again…

…even if I’m not the one giving you that happiness.

“You really do love him… don’t you?”
He jolted up. “Huh!? W-What are you saying?! I-It’s n-nothing like t-that!”
“Naruto…”
He felt the Hokage ruffling his hair. Suddenly, hiding his emotions didn’t matter anymore.
“Please sensei.” He sighed. “I beg you. Give him what he wants. Please…”
Kakashi stopped him.
“Before you say anything further, there’s something else you should know.”
“What is it?”
He listened while Kakashi explained to him what he’d managed to learn about the scroll.
“So, you see the problem.”
Naruto stood thunderstruck. He never imagined something like this would come up. It complicated the whole situation more than it already was.
“Have you changed your opinion Naruto?”
He thought for a moment.
“… Leave it to him.” He mumbled.
“Sorry?”
“Leave it to him! It’s his decision to take, not ours.”
“Do you understand what that means?”
“All I know is… if it means that much to him… if he’s willing to take such a big risk… then we don’t have the right to stop him.”
“Naruto-”
“Look at him sensei! He seems half dead already. If… if this is the only way… for him to be able to live a normal life again… I will take my chances with it!”
Kakashi stared at him silently.
Naruto…

“Fine. I’ll see what I can do. But…”
“But what sensei?”
“I need you to do something for me.”
“Anything… I’ll do anything you say!”
Just give him back to me… give my old Sasuke back...

“Alright, listen. Here’s what I want you to do…”

He stood at the middle of the empty room. His eyes seemed tired. He hadn’t been able to sleep for the past two days. How could he? Today was the day… He was going to get the verdict…

Judgment Day…

But where was the Hokage?
He was beginning to get impatient.
“Ah… Sasuke! I see you’re already here.”
He didn’t have to look to know who it was.
Hatake Kakashi entered the room and took his seat… facing the Uchiha.
“Sorry for the delay. I had to run some last moment errands.”
“Let’s get to the point Kakashi. None of us have the time to waste.”
“As you wish.”
He took out the scroll from his pocket and placed it on the table between them.
“So far you are correct about everything you said regarding this jutsu”, he started. “You can resurrect a person, but just for one day. And the resurrection entirely depends on the choice of that person. Also I haven’t been able to detect any fault in the formula that can pose a threat. However…”
“What?”
“You know that the original Reanimation Jutsu requires a human sacrifice, right?”
“Yes…”
Did this jutsu require one too? No… if that were the case… Kakashi would never allow it to happen.
Sasuke was scared now. Could it be… the end?
“This isn’t the full form of Reanimation.” Kakashi spoke again. “So unlike the original jutsu, this one doesn’t need a human sacrifice.”
He felt like he could breathe again. So… there was still a chance…
“But… it is a summoning jutsu and like any summoning jutsu this one requires a sacrifice too.”
Wait… Why was it becoming more and more confusing?!
“What kind of sacrifice?”
“Ordinary summoning jutsu only requires blood. But this jutsu… it summons something as unique as a human life… so in exchange… it takes away something unique from the one performing it.”
“I don’t… understand.”
“Every Shinobi has something unique within them… a power only they posses or a technique they can call their own. That uniqueness is what needs to be sacrificed here. For example, if I were to perform this jutsu, I’d have to sacrifice the ability to use my Chidori. Because Chidori is my own jutsu. I’m the one who developed it. As for you…”

His eyes widened as he suddenly understood what it meant.

“My Rinnegan.”
“…Yes.”
