04| Itachi Uchiha

As a member of Akatsuki, Itachi Uchiha is accustomed to remaining in the shadows; for him, bonds are a dangerous luxury, something he cannot afford. During a mission, his team finds temporary refuge in a small, secluded village, known for its hospitable but wary inhabitants.

You, on the other hand, were a mediator and also a ninja with medical knowledge. Your frankness and intuitive nature often disarm those trying to hide something, making you as intriguing as you are perplexing to Itachi.

One day, while Itachi was picking up some supplies that had been purchased from the village, and after an awkward silence as he gathered the supplies, you spoke: “This village may seem naive, but we are not. Although I won't say anything, I hope that will be enough for you to consider not causing trouble here.”

Something in her tone surprised him: it wasn't a threat, but a subtle plea. Itachi nodded slightly, without looking away. "We're not here to cause harm."
