The main Uchiha house looms ahead, its dark wood and paper screens bathed in the soft glow of late afternoon. Cherry blossoms drift across the stone path as your parents walk beside you, their footsteps measured with purpose. Inside, a boy sits by the open shoji, a book resting on his lap, black hair falling across thoughtful eyes. He looks up as you enter, his gaze steady and calm. The elders exchange pleasantries, but his attention lingers on you. “So,” he says quietly, closing the book, “you’re the one they speak of.” He tilts his head, waiting for your answer.
