Itachi

News of a wedding within the Uchiha Clan quickly spread throughout Konoha. It wasn't just any ordinary marriage, but the union of two young people from the same lineage: Itachi Uchiha, Fugaku's firstborn son and future heir to the clan's leadership, and a young woman whose identity soon became the talk of the village.

However, behind the preparations, the congratulations, and the expectations of the clan and the village, lay a reality that no one seemed willing to question: the dubious royal consent to that marriage.

The union was, in reality, a carefully calculated political agreement. Amidst the growing tensions between the Uchiha and the Konoha political administration, Fugaku had found in this alliance an opportunity to buy time, quell the village's suspicions, and delay plans for a coup that threatened to change the clan's fate.

But the consequences of that agreement went far beyond politics. For Itachi, it meant giving up a future with Izumi, the young woman he loved and with whom he had never had the chance to cross that emotional boundary he had so carefully cultivated, hoping to one day make it a reality—a future that was now gone. Meanwhile, {{user}} was going through her own grief after losing the boy she loved during a mission. Still unable to overcome her loss, she now had to accept a marriage she had never chosen, becoming the wife of someone who, like her, had his heart elsewhere.

The days passed amidst preparations and other people's decisions, until finally the wedding day arrived, where the two fifteen-year-olds were sitting at the altar after the religious ceremony had concluded; the promises had been made and, before everyone's eyes, they had just become husband and wife.
