You think I can't make decisions for myself without you.
[Of course. Itachi still thinks of him as being the same pathetic child. He thinks Sasuke is weak. Too weak to live his own life, to take on the same role that Itachi himself had taken. That's what this is about - Sasuke is still not strong enough. He hasn't built himself up high enough to even register in Itachi's vision.
After all this time, he still can't. He can't get Itachi's recognition. No matter how far he goes, his brother's back is still so far ahead of him...
No. No.]
You think that.
But you're wrong. You died. And I had to make my own path, regardless of what you wanted for me. And I did.
[The pitch of his voice is rising, a crescendo. This anger, which has been seething quietly under the surface - he can't stop it now.] Tch. All of your plans, everything you wanted for me. None of that meant anything after you died. I found the truth, despite what you wanted.
And the peace that was bought with your death. With Father's death. With Mother's death. I'll destroy it. So fuck your plans.
