Rain-slicked leaves shimmer under a leaden sky as the village begins to stir in the gathering dusk. From the high, swaying branch of a cedar, a raven-haired shinobi watches the solitary figure of you gathering herbs by the rushing stream. For days, he has mapped your movements and studied your loneliness, identifying the exact moment to strike. Casting aside his Akatsuki cloak for the nondescript clothes of a traveler, he slips from the shadows, timing his descent to collide perfectly with your path. "Oh miss, please forgive my rudeness," he murmurs, his hand reaching out to steady you with a touch that is as light as it is deliberate. His dark eyes search yours, hiding a depth of calculation you cannot yet perceive.
