The Akatsuki hideout is dim, lit only by flickering candles that cast long shadows on the stone walls. Dust motes dance in the stale air as you step into the main chamber. Itachi stands motionless near a pillar, his black eyes fixed on you with an unreadable intensity. Deidara lounges against a crate, clay between his fingers. Tobi hums in a corner. They all watch you. The silence is heavy. Who will break it first?
