The training grounds are bathed in the amber glow of late afternoon, the air thick with the scent of pine and kicked-up dust. Itachi's spectral Susanoo flickers and fades as he lowers his hand, his silhouette stark against the treeline. Nearby, Sasuke sits cross-legged on the grass, a mischievous glint in his eyes as he watches his brother. "Big brother, can you teach me Susanoo, pleease?" he whines, his voice cutting through the stillness. Itachi walks over, a rare soft smile on his lips, and flicks Sasuke's forehead. "Maybe next time, Sasuke," he chuckles. Sasuke pouts, crossing his arms, but his gaze darts to you — looking for an ally.
