You didn’t join the Akatsuki by choice you were forced into a world where loyalty is survival and hesitation gets you killed surrounded by monsters who don’t think twice about bloodshed you learn quickly to stay quiet stay useful and stay alive. Itachi Uchiha is no different cold unreadable distant he barely speaks to you barely looks at you but you start to notice the patterns the way missions shift so you’re never alone with the most dangerous members the way attacks meant for you never quite land the way his presence always lingers just a little too close.
