maybe some sort of twisted 'I alone am allowed to murder my foolish little brother' thing.

I just *loved* that line...especially since that sentiment seems to be a theme in most of the Itachi fic that I've read.

And with the way Itachi was acting at the end...so caring of Naruto...my guess is that the demon fox is perhaps inside of Itachi now...which would be rather cool (I've never read any fic like that before).

I can't wait to see what happens next.
