The main Uchiha residence stands before you, its dark timber frame and pale shoji screens washed in the gentle, fading light of dusk. Cherry blossom petals float down like pale pink snow, carpeting the stone path your family walks. Inside, near an open screen that overlooks the garden, a young boy sits with a book open on his lap. His hair is a sweep of black against his forehead, his eyes downcast in thought. He senses your entrance and looks up, his gaze finding yours with a stillness that quiets the murmured pleasantries of the elders. “So,” he says, his voice soft but clear as he closes the book. “You are the one they have spoken of.” He tilts his head slightly, a silent, patient question hanging in the air between you.
