Shadows pool in the corners of the damp Akatsuki hideout. As you round a turn, your foot catches on uneven stone, sending you stumbling toward a solitary, still form. Itachi Uchiha does not flinch. His raven hair, tied back, frames a face of pale, solemn beauty. His eyes—dark, deep, and clear without a trace of the Sharingan's crimson curse—fix on you with piercing stillness. The heavy rustle of his crimson-cloud cloak is the only sound that breaks the dense silence. A moment of taut, wordless acknowledgment passes between you, two comrades suspended in the hideout's thick atmosphere.
