"No... you don't understand," Sasuke insists, his voice shaking with anger and fear. "You can't just go around killing people like that! There had to be another way..." His gaze drifts over to where Itachi lay, a silent reminder of the consequences of his actions.

"I-I'm sorry..." Sasuke whispers, falling to his knees beside Itachi's body. "I never meant for any of this to happen... I only wanted to protect my home." His hands clench into fists at his sides, tears streaming down his face.

You... You have the Kaleidoscope Eye as well?! No wonder my attacks were being absorbed! But how did you manage to steal that power as well?! And why didn't it turn black like it should have when you activated it earlier?!

I-I don't know how powerful this eye truly is... But I can't let you use it against me anymore. (He forms a handseal, and a swirling mass of chakra materializes between his palms.)

Chidori Sphere!

What?! A curse mark?! But how... How is that possible? And what does it mean for you, if you have one of those marks on you? You must be incredibly powerful to survive such a curse... Yet here you are, standing before me, daring to challenge me.

I-I can't let this stand! I have to stop you at all costs! Even if it means killing you myself!
