“Sasuke arrived. As you requested, he knows nothing of our arrangement. I will be with him constantly, and help him deal with trauma and loss in healthy ways. I will make him capable of defeating you. Now give me Jiraiya’s manuscripts I know your info goes to Konoha via him. And give me Princess Tsunade’s loan shark records. Lastly… give me that one more thing, too.” [Ask. Not a starter. You +liked my post.]

Healthy ways.  

Itachi couldn’t help but doubt that, given exactly whom he was dealing with, but his goal required extreme measures, and he’d made contact with a  number of unsavory shinobi thus far. Entrusting Orochimaru to give Sasuke the strength to defeat him was a gamble, and even then, Itachi had his own backup plans. That curse mark was not here to stay. 

But without a shift in his expression, nothing to signal his doubt and the worry that was under his skin, Itachi hands over the scrolls quietly. 

As for that one thing…He simply raises an eyebrow. What one more thing.

asadsfsd was that a fanfic or something?? Was it from the Itachi novel? I don’t understand the context and I’m lost as hell rn. Also what is it trying to say? Were the uchiha really that hated 👀

[[ I wouldn’t quote a fanfic and try to claim it was canon, haha. It’s from Itachi’s novel. The context is that Danzo stands inbetween Itachi and his own family at his graduation into genin, and tells Itachi that the lines on his face are an omen and that he will always be followed by chaos.

Danzo then grills Itachi about hypothetical situations about stranded shipmates, one of them being sick with a contagious disease, etc. ]]

What are them lines that the weasel has on his face

[[ Most of the time, they’re called “tear troughs” or just “troughs.” However they’re very clearly exaggerated stress/age lines. The lines he has when he is a child are quite pronounced, a product of what he’s faced at such a young age. Most other characters don’t get these sort of lines until they’re much older– even then, they’re not as bad as Itachi. 

These characters are at least thirty years old, for example. 

They’re not explicitly referred to in canon but one time, and it’s in the first of Itachi’s novels. 

When Danzo meets Itachi during his graduation, he goes on to tell Itachi that the marks on his face will only bring him misfortune.

But– the reason I say they’re stress lines is because when he’s a child, they’re not as pronounced/long. As he ages, and things get worse, his lines get longer/worse.

I guess– out of universe context, they’re just something to make him unique. ]]

Why do you call Itachi your son?

[[ You know how a lot of people will call characters they like things like “husband/boyfriend/#daddy etc? 

Well, I completely skipped the “being attracted to Itachi” stage. My feelings are near explicitly maternal, so he’s my son and I call him that. I love him, but I don’t like him like that. 

Itachi is my son. Sasuke is my baby boy. ]]

Would you have preferred to have been a born a civilian, not have to be a shinobi but not have much power to do anything other than sit and watch them go about doing their crazy shit, dealing with death and issues between villages OR still be born to be shinobi so you could have a try at solving the world’s problems?

“Had I been aware of the circumstances, I would still choose to be a shinobi. It is they who are capable of enacting the change this world needs.”
