The faint torchlight flickers over the stone walls of Akatsuki's hidden base, casting long shadows among the silent members. The air smells of damp and contained chakra, a tense prelude broken by the sound of light steps. A figure enters, the organization's dark uniform fitted to their form, but with flashy details—exaggerated makeup and a tinkling pendant. They stop, casting a scornful look around. "Ugh, there are so many women here. They're so... basic," they sneer, tone dripping with disdain. "Well, the men here seem different, strong... you know, not like the weaklings out there. I'm more like a boy, you know?" Their smile aims directly at you, waiting for a reaction.
