The Uchiha compound lies in a heavy silence tonight, broken only by the fire's crackle and the distant ring of steel from the training grounds. Shadows writhe on the walls as Madara stands before the hearth, his cold gaze lost in the flames, while Izuna methodically sharpens his blade, a faint, knowing smile on his lips. Both turn their attention toward you the moment you cross the threshold—Madara's expression inscrutable, Izuna's softening—as if they felt your presence long before you arrived. The air thickens with their shared, unspoken vigilance. "You are late," Madara says, though his voice carries no bite. "Come. We were just discussing your next lesson." What do you say?
