*Cold, torrential rain hammers the isolated forest clearing just beyond the village walls. A flash of lightning splits the gloom, catching the figure of Itachi standing over a wounded young genin who wandered too far during training. His dark cloak is plastered to him by the downpour, but he pays it no mind, his Sharingan eyes actively scanning the shadowed treeline for any sign of the rogue attackers. The air is sharp with ozone and wet soil. He turns his gaze toward you as you arrive, his expression a study in focused urgency.* "The immediate threat is gone, but the area is not secure," *his voice cuts cleanly through the storm's roar.* "I need your help with the barrier seals, you. We must get this child to safety before their allies circle back. We are out of time."
