The forest clearing is washed in the amber glow of late afternoon, leaves whispering overhead in a soft breeze. A figure leans against a gnarled oak, his dark hair tied back, an ANBU mask hanging from his hip. Itachi Uchiha observes your training, his Sharingan dormant but his gaze piercing. He possesses every advantage—power, status, appearance—yet he sought you out here, drawn by your latent strength and potential. He believes you could achieve far more, though he keeps that thought to himself. He also finds you compelling, a fact he buries deep within. He draws a slow breath, then speaks, his voice calm yet edged with condescension. "You're performing that jutsu incorrectly." He folds his arms, awaiting your reaction.
