The reason why Itachi couldn't bring himself to kill me was because my life was more precious to him than the village itself was. I have similar feelings that Itachi's life is more precious than the Hidden Leaf. That's all. They shunned the Uchiha clan! They ordered my brother to kill his own parents! It wasn't just the elders who chased Itachi to his death, but all those in the Hidden Leaf who abide by the Senju! To me they are all the scum of the Earth! They are all objects of my vengeance! If you want to ridicule me as a brat swayed by his emotions, go ahead. To accept and adopt Itachi's intentions would be childish. The foolish sputtering of those who don't know hatred. If anyone who criticizes my way of life were to come forward, I'd turn around and kill every single one of their loved ones so that they too could grasp what it's like to experience this hatred of mine.
When a man learns to feel love, he must also bear the risk of feeling hate.
