Chapter 23
The world peacefully entered the next day's midnight.
In the dead of night, Sasuke suddenly woke from a nightmare, gasping for breath, his forehead covered in sweat.
As if driven by an unseen force, he hurriedly threw off his covers and rushed to Itachi's room. It was still empty, only a crow standing by the window, tilting its head at him.
"Was it… a dream?"
He wiped off his sweat, and his anxiety gradually settled.
—The idea of his brother being killed by some despicable means must be a dream.
Why would he dream of something like that? Seriously…
Awakened by the nightmare, Sasuke couldn't fall back asleep, his whole body drenched in sweat.
His brother and father had not returned all night, his mother was already asleep, and there were still lights on the street outside, indicating something was happening, though Sasuke had no interest in finding out.
