Sasuke's dream

" Shin! You can do it can't you..? You can kill.. Itachi! "

But much to Sasuke's despair, Shin shook his head.

Grabbing his collar Sasuke almost yelled out loud

" Why?! You have the same eyes as him! He needed to kill everyone for his and you have it just by your raw talent! You are so much better than him! So why!? "

Shin's lips twitched, he? Having more talent than Itachi??

Joke! If he didn't jerry rig his genetics to hell and back, it would be good if he could match young Itachi years from now on, Sasuke's body was just that trash.

" I.. "

Shin still didn't say anything, okay, so be it, he has oh so great talent, he will accept that, what's he gonna do otherwise, tell him the truth?

Oh no Sasuke, let's dream less, we suck and can never match Itachi unless he intentionally wants to die, but he wants to baby us anyway so chin up.

Shaking his head Shin decided to spin it in a way Sasuke understood.

" It's not about that, I got these eyes because I.. "

Looking at Sasuke with sad emotions in his eyes, Shin spoke slowly.

" I thought now that you finally became a Ninja, what would happen if you are in danger.. If I never see you again..? "

Shaking his head as Sasuke's eyes widened, Shin patted Sasuke's shoulder.

" I started imagining the worst possible outcomes and in yesterday's drunken haze, it all blurred together.. "

Sasuke let go of Shin's collar as he stumbled back.

" I couldn't understand fiction from reality, and well, the thought of losing you made me despair, so when I woke up and saw you safe, that made my eyes evolve.. "

Sasuke stumbled back and sat down as he fell, his eyes were wet as his fists tightened.

All Shin wanted to do was to protect them, it was so important to him that he achieved those legendary eyes.

And what was he asking Shin to do? Put them in danger to fight against that man!

' I am selfish Shin.. sorry.. I didn't think what doing this would feel like to you.. '

No, this won't do.

Sasuke quickly wiped his eyes, as he stared at Shin with determination.

Getting up, Sasuke gave off an aura of strength, as he spoke to Shin, in a voice full of sincerity.

" I understand. "

Looking at Shin with a dazzling smile Sasuke laughed.

" I understand! Don't worry Shin, we won't go to Itachi now, but we will wait. "

Giving off a smug smile he pointed towards himself.

" We wait until I too achieve these legendary eyes, Itachi can't possibly stand against the two of us! "

Yes, they will be safe like this, nobody will die again!

" I mean, if you can do it, so can I, we are twins remember! "

Sasuke smiled warmly as Shin once again twitched his lips, just depending on Sasuke to unlock mangekyou??

They will have to wait for god knows how long! Unless Itachi arranges everything for his dear old brother again.

' But now he has two brothers, and I have already achieved Mangekyou, the moment Itachi gets the news, he will likely come running to deliver his own to me.. '

Itachi was tired of living, his brothers were the only thing he had left to arrange, and now that he has only one pair of eyes to give, he will want to give it to Shin, who already meets the criteria, he cannot watch Shin go blind.

Yes, Shin can never really go blind, but Itachi didn't know that.

In his mind, the sooner we both get the ability to protect ourselves, the sooner he can realx and join our parents in pure world.

" What's the matter Shin, why don't you speak? What, you think I can't do it?? "

Shin was being shaken here and there by Sasuke as Shin's clearly disbelieving eyes pissed off Sasuke.

Removing himself from Sasuke's grip Shin laughed it off.

" What? No no, you will definitely get the Mangekyou.. eventually.. and if not there's still the next life, and the life after that.. It will come to you eventually- "

* Bang *

" Shin! Don't make fun of me! Come back here! I am not weak! "

Sasuke yelled as he ran behind Shin who was laughing and dodging as he thought about the future.

' I really hope Itachi comes out of his haze, he's our protective umbrella, the moment he falls I have to bear everything. It's too much pressure. '

Be it for Shin's sentiments in this life or for actual benifits, it was useful for Itachi to stay alive, so Shin would do just that, and how to do it, he already had an idea.

* Bang *

Dodging a punch thrown by Sasuke, Shin laughed at him as Sasuke was almost incensed.

' But everything will come eventually, for now I will enjoy my life. '

Shinnosuke wanted a stable development, but he was forced to do few things ahead of time.

Itachi was dying as time went by, Hoakge and Konoha upper level would start targeting him the moment he showed his worth in Chunin exams.

On top of that, Shin was smart enough to actually inherit Uchiha again, and was in fact interested in taking back power, unlike Sasuke from canon.

Given these conditions, Hokage would never let him go.

' So sacrificing my peaceful life I had to strike preemptively.. hopefully this attack puts a stop to their madness for a while. '

Shin and Sasuke had stopped by now as they both just kinda gave up and decided to lie down beneath a tree.

Both liked this kind of serene atmosphere, Shin always liked it and Sasuke being Shin's twin was influenced by him a lot as well.

And so the two brothers sat down, one thinking about awakening his Sharingan, and one thinking about the future of Uchiha, and by extension Ninja world.
