The clouds passed gently in the sky. The cool wind dried his tears.
He forgot how long he sat here, he didn't care either.
What had ridden him back then, just disappearing and leaving Sayuri alone? He ran his finger over her engraved name. Then she would still be there.
He struggled to keep the guilt from getting out of hand and stood up.
He threw the bracelet that he had kept all these years in the dirt. He didn't need it anymore.
There was nothing left that tied him to the past, that tormented him at night and that did not let him sleep. Nothing more.
Now he could go his way, see the future without always seeing her face, now he could be free ...
He felt relieved, as if he had been relieved of all burdens.
"Are you okay?" Asked Kisame.
Itachi gave him a cold look before he could put his hand on his shoulder.
"I am doing well. We have a mission! "
He passed the ninja from Kiri and didn't care that Kisame looked after him with concern.
