Insanity

Sasuke was sixteen when he finally lost his mind. He learnt the truth about his brother.

The brother he'd murdered with his bare hands, the brother who he'd repeatedly stabbed until the knife was blunt and the body was a sickening mess of limbs and intestines mangled together, the brother who loved him.

Once Sasuke returned home having no other place to go, all the remaining pieces of his sanity slipped from his grasp.

When Naruto went to visit, he found Sasuke wearing nothing but a red and black cloak and a layer of his own blood. Hundreds of deep, gaping gashes adorned and destroyed his body. He continued to slice his skin open, apparently unaware of anyone else's presence in the room, muttering nonsensical things about bonds and family, revenge and emptiness.
