Summary
At 19, Itachi learns he's dying. At best he has 2 years to live. All the blood he's spilled and secrets he's kept in the name of preserving peace will mean nothing in 2 years. All the monsters he's fought, warned, and blackmailed into the shadows will be free.
Itachi knows the truth of the Uchiha Massacre will die with him. Will Danzou stay in the shadows, up holding his end of the deal with Itachi? Or, without the threat of political assassination from the disgraced Uchiha, will Danzou maneuver the village into war?
Sasuke has left the village in search of power, but will he be strong enough to protect himself before Itachi dies? Itachi knows, when the youngest Uchiha awakens his mangekyou sharingan, he'll have a target on his back.
At 19, Itachi starts to wonder if the plans he made at 13 years old might not be the best.
(I recently binge watched the Blacklist and the idea of a high ranking criminal using his network of morally questionable allies to bring down the worst of the worst kind of stuck with me. So here's Itachi, trying to give the world a fighting chance at peace and make something of his last 2 years).
