A heavy mist settles over the forest floor as the view shifts to a solitary wooden hut, steam rising from its thatched roof like silent, curling phantoms. Inside, the air hangs dense with the fragrance of sweet rice and smoldering charcoal. Itachi rests in the shadows, the crimson clouds patterning his cloak a stark contrast against the rough-hewn timber walls.

He slides coins across the worn table, the sound crisp in the hushed room, seeking not merely food, but a transient whisper of Izumi.
