As he called her by her first name, Kaina felt her cheeks warm. It was subtle, but hearing her name from Itachi like that made something stir within her. It wasn't just his words but the way he said them—like he valued her more than she realized. Before she could respond, they both noticed the quiet attention from the others.
Their conversation was briefly interrupted by Keigo, who bounded over with Fuyumi and Momo in tow. "Hey, you two! What's with all the serious talk?" Keigo said, his grin wide as he clapped a hand on Itachi's shoulder. "Come on, lighten up. We're supposed to be celebrating!"
Fuyumi nodded, a playful smile on her lips. "Yeah, you guys are making us jealous with your deep conversation over here."
Momo giggled from beside Yana, who was watching the whole exchange with a motherly smile. "I think they're cute together," Momo whispered to her mother.
Yana nodded in agreement, her eyes sparkling. "They complement each other well, don't they?" she replied with a whisper, her voice warm.
Back in the corner, Kaina blushed slightly at the attention, her fingers nervously brushing the hem of her shirt. "It wasn't that serious," she said with a small laugh, trying to brush off the teasing.
Keigo, however, wasn't about to let it go that easily. "Oh, really? It looked pretty intense from over there," he teased, wiggling his eyebrows.
Itachi, always calm under pressure, gave Keigo a sidelong glance. "Not everyone has to be as loud as you, Keigo," he said, a hint of amusement in his voice.
Fuyumi laughed. "Itachi's right. You're the loudest one here."
Keigo held up his hands in surrender. "Okay, okay, I get it."
The group continued talking and laughing, enjoying the lighthearted mood. As the evening went on, Itachi found himself more relaxed than he had been in a long time. Surrounded by people who cared about him, he felt a sense of belonging and contentment that was rare for him.
At one point, as the night started to wind down, Yana approached Itachi and Kaina. "I'm so happy you could join us today, Kaina," she said with a smile. "You're always welcome here."
Kaina smiled back warmly, feeling truly welcomed. "Thank you, Mrs. Yaoyorozu. I've really enjoyed spending time with everyone."
Itachi, standing beside Kaina, nodded in agreement. "It was a good day," he said quietly, his gaze meeting hers for a brief moment.
As the celebration came to a close, the group slowly began to disperse. Keigo and Fuyumi said their goodbyes, full of excitement for the future, while Yana and Momo tidied up.
Before Kaina left, she and Itachi shared one last exchange by the door. "Take care, I-Itachi. I'll see you at UA," Kaina said with a little blush, her voice soft but sincere.
Itachi nodded, a small, genuine smile tugging at his lips. "I'll see you there," he replied.
As Kaina walked away, Itachi watched her go, feeling a quiet sense of contentment. The path ahead was uncertain, but with friends like Kaina, Keigo, and Fuyumi by his side, he felt ready to face whatever challenges awaited him at UA High.
Late at night, Itachi sat at his desk, paper and pen in hand, sketching out the details of his new hero costume. As he worked, he couldn't help but think back to the Akatsuki robes—their dark elegance, the comfort they provided. A small smile tugged at his lips. Those robes were perfect, he thought. Inspired by their design, he began to create something similar, yet with his own personal touch. He kept the same red color but added a significant change: the Uchiha clan symbol, proudly displayed on the back.
Leaning back in his chair, he studied the sketch of his costume. "I think it looks good," he murmured, feeling a sense of pride. This would be a reflection of both his past and the new path he was forging. But something was missing.
What should I call myself? he wondered, tapping the pen thoughtfully against the desk. His eyes drifted around the room, eventually landing on a book titled Greek Mythology, lying just beside him. Curiosity piqued, he picked it up and began flipping through the pages. As he skimmed the story of Zeus, one word caught his attention: Aegis. It referred to the shield or breastplate of Zeus, a symbol of protection.
The concept struck a chord deep within him. Protection had always been central to his life—his decisions, his sacrifices, everything had been for the sake of others. The name resonated with his journey and what he now stood for.
"Aegis..." he whispered to himself, letting the word roll off his tongue. It was strong, purposeful, and fitting for the hero he was becoming. He smiled, feeling a sense of clarity and determination. Writing the name at the top of his design, Itachi knew that from this moment on, his new hero name would be Aegis.
"It looks good," Itachi muttered softly to himself, feeling content with his design. He stood up, stretched, and made his way to bed. Lying down, his thoughts lingered on tomorrow. "Tomorrow, I'll attend UA High," he whispered, a small smile crossing his lips. It was a new chapter, a new world. Unusually for him, sleep came quickly.
But just as quickly, his eyes snapped open. He found himself in a dense jungle, the leaves rustling softly in the breeze. The atmosphere was familiar, almost too familiar. He activated his Sharingan, scanning his surroundings, and his heart skipped a beat. This is... Konoha? He recognized the terrain—the trees, the air. It was the forest just outside the village.
Standing up, Itachi moved swiftly, each step confirming his suspicions. The route, the landmarks—it was all Konoha. Eventually, he reached the village gates, towering above him just as they always had. Is this really Konoha? he wondered.
But then, something strange happened. As he approached the guards at the gate, a passerby walked right through him. Itachi's eyes widened in shock. Am I... a ghost? He instinctively looked down at his body, half-expecting to see something distorted or missing, but everything seemed normal. After a moment, realization dawned on him. I must be dreaming… somehow, I'm glimpsing my world.
