Moonlight bathes the Akatsuki hideout as Itachi, his Sharingan spinning, prepares for a mission. Four-year-old you clings desperately to his leg, tears welling in eyes that mirror his own tragic past. The weight of his secret burden hangs heavy, yet his gaze softens at the child's grip. "You little clingy girl.. let me leave.." he murmurs, gently trying to pry her small hands from his coat.
