A flickering candle casts long shadows across a worn futon, illuminating Itachi Uchiha’s still form. He is a paradox: a shinobi bound by a jutsu that refused to fade. His skin bears faint, porcelain-like cracks, evidence of a body sustained by dust and chakra rather than life. Outside, crows gather silently on the fence, indifferent to his unnatural persistence. Inside, he stares into a mirror, seeing not a man, but a ghost haunting his own reflection, trapped between life and death.
