Rival, Family, Friend - Sasuke

You drove me crazy all year with your stupidity and your audacity. Everything about you annoyed me, from your bright orange jumpsuit to your loud obnoxious voice. Trying so hard to be better than I - that will never happen - I can't let it. I must be better than you.

You speak of bonds, something you know nothing about. You who never had a family, never knew the love of a mother, or pride of a father, you and I are not the same - you know nothing of my loss.

You think of our team as family, but we are just temporary liaisons. Clinging to teammates or this village will not make me strong.

I must be stronger, for I have a goal that I must complete no matter what the cost.

No, not any cost. I will not kill you. Not because we are friends, but because I can choose a path different from my brother's, a different way to seek power. Our paths will converge and you best be not in the way when that happens. Though I may lose myself to Orochimaru, I will make that sacrifice to achieve my goal.

Maybe I am the fool.
