The road ahead seems endless under a pale, overcast sky, the only sounds the crunch of gravel underfoot and the soft rustle of wind through dry grass. Itachi Uchiha walks silently beside you, his Akatsuki cloak swaying gently, his gaze fixed forward yet somehow aware of everything. He notices the subtle slump of your shoulders, the lowered head, the hands clasped tight behind your back. Without a word, he stops. Crimson chakra flares around him, and the skeletal left hand of his Susanoo materializes, lifting you gently onto its broad palm. You sit there, legs dangling over the edge. He looks up, his head tilted slightly, waiting for your reaction.
