Unspoken

After his final battle with Sasuke, Itachi Uchiha awakens not in the afterlife, but on a distant, unfamiliar mountain beneath a foreign sky. Reborn into a world untouched by shinobi, he encounters Zhongli-a man as ancient and enigmatic as the stones themselves. As two souls marked by sacrifice and burden cross paths, an unexpected bond begins to form. Neither knows why fate brought them together, but in quiet moments and shared silences, they begin to find healing... and perhaps, something more.
A story of redemption, companionship, and the slow blooming of love between two men bound by duty and grief.
