No I don't know how I do it.

Notes: Preferably, this happened after Zoro and Sasuke have an epic sword fight and Zoro wins. You know he would! Sharingan? Pfft, Zoro has more willpower and skill in one quark than Sasuke does in his entire body! But, whatever floats your boat. Anyway, Zoro's direct speech to Sasuke or an inner monologue directed at him.

Crossroads

Look at yourself! A dark, angry avenger who only cares about himself and his pain. You have no honor, no courage. You have nothing to fight for. Your stupid brother chose to sacrifice his entire family for your sake and look where it got him! He is a fool for doing that. Your family is the most precious thing that you can ever find. Itachi chose to throw all that away because he was too afraid to stand up for both his Clan and his village. What a fool.

Don't make a fool out of yourself too. You have no family except your village. Don't turn your back on them, too. I know what it's like to lose everything. I know what it's like to be alone in the dark. Easily, I could have been you. I had that darkness in me. I had that want for power. I wanted to be the best. I wanted more. It was never enough, the power I had.

But unlike you, when the light came, I welcomed it. It eroded my darkness and gave me something- no, someone- to fight for. A family. Now I only need enough power to keep my nakama safe. Beating Mihawk would be a nice plus, but it's no longer my ultimate goal.

You could easily have been me. Your light began to change you. Don't deny it, Sasuke. The light flushed your darkness and made you feel. Made you see. You were at a crossroads, the light or the dark. We were at the crossroads.

I chose the light, but you rejected it. And even now, you delude yourself into believing that you're in the right, that killing an entire village will avenge your brother.

Where will it stop? What will you do after they're all dead? I suppose once you finish killing off the village, next it'll be the entire Fire Country. Then the countries affiliated to them. Hell, just kill the whole damn world because they knew nothing of your idiot big brother's sacrifice

I am a big brother. I have an entire slew of "siblings" most of whom can't tell their hand from their foot. And I know that if I died to save one of them- which is my most likely fate- I would not want him to go on a major killing spree and slay every single person in a village because I was killed by one of their leaders.

In fact, if I recall rightly, you're actually the one who killed Itachi.

You have no right to blame the people of Konoha for something your brother and a select few in the village put into motion.

You have no right to stab one of your teammates though the chest because she being used to shield your nemesis.

You have no right to damn innocent children to death to slake your lust for blood.

You are nothing but a delusional little boy. Little boys shouldn't play with fire. Go home, Sasuke. Stop this game.

Before it's too late.
