health headcanon

itachi’s canon health was obviously in the toilet, since he died mostly blind thanks to the sharingan and because of a long term congenital illness. personally i’m headcanoning here that, since he’s more or less reborn, he’s gotten a clean slate on those things. he still gets sick easily though, and since he doesn’t have the sharingan’s powers to boost his own senses he should maybe invest in some glasses

body headcanon

he’s got to be decently strong to do half the shit he does, but because a lot of that comes from chakra and precision he’s not really muscular at all. he looks smaller than he is, too, because of the clothes he wears; mesh armor with loose shirts and pants doesn’t really Highlight The Body. other than that, he’s covered in old scars like most ninja, although none of them are incredibly obvious

love/sexuality headcanon

my itachi is gay and single finger guns...anyway he’s aware of his sexuality but hasn’t ever done anything about it. he was always with the other akatsuki members and he died young anyway, so he didn’t have much chance to even consider exploring it. he’s never been in love either because that was absolutely an emotional connection he wasn’t able/was afraid to make in the naruto verse. he’s capable of falling in love, but he personally doesn’t think he ever will and that people would be better off that way anyway

anger headcanon

itachi doesn’t get really, truly angry much. he’s too committed to being neutral and understanding all sides of something, and the only time we see him genuinely angry in canon is when the other uchiha are talking clan loyalty above all else

i think sometimes he wants to be more angry about things, but his emotions are a tangled up mess he can’t really figure out even when he tries to instead of being so flat-line neutral. his shadow though...hoo boy

character development asks.

1: Which is worse, failing or never trying?

2: Are you doing what you believe in, or are you settling for what you are doing?

3: If happiness was the national currency, what kind of work would make you rich?

4: Are you more worried about doing things right, or doing the right things?

5: If you could offer a newborn child only one piece of advice, what would it be?

6: Would you break the law to save a loved one?

7: Are you holding onto something you need to let go of?

8: Do you push the elevator button more than once?  Do you really believe it makes the elevator faster?

9: Have you been the kind of friend you want as a friend?

10: If you just won a million dollars, would you quit your job?

11: If we learn from our mistakes, why are we always so afraid to make a mistake?

12: What would you do differently if you knew nobody would judge you?

13: What do you love?  Have any of your recent actions openly expressed this love?

14: If you were stranded on a desert island, what three items would you want to have with you?

15: If you had a time machine that would work only once, what point in the future or in history would you visit? Why?

“Itachi!” They parrot it, tasting it in their own mouth, and deciding they like it - it’s not hard to do, but it helps them cement it in their memory (not that they really forget names and faces anyway, but it’s always best to be safe!). “Um! I wanted.. something to come true. So I came. Isn’t that why you came? That, an’ it sounded like.. these people needed help! An’ I wanna help. I’m good at that. My friends at home were all OK so I thought I should help new people.”

They study him, curiously, eyes wide and intent, soaking in every detail. He’s so tall - they can tell that he’s strong, too, like Undyne, and they’re fascinated. They want him to pick him up but write it off as a childish notion, one they should have grown out of.

“Unless! You mean here, ‘cause if you mean that, I was playing! With a Pixie! She’s my friend. We play tag.”

[infinitefalsehoods-blog]

It’s nearly strong enough to be choking, the sudden realization that this child reminds him a much younger Sasuke. A more innocent Sasuke, the one from before — 

Well, it doesn’t matter. He may be alive here, but Itachi is fairly certain he’s still dead in his home world. Sasuke has hopefully moved on in his life now that Itachi’s shadowed presence is out of it.

He returns from faraway thoughts of murder and betrayal to address Frisk again. Something to come tr — oh. The contractual agreement to have one wish granted. Itachi smiles wryly and says, “No, that’s not why I came.” He wants nothing for himself, and he has no more right to linger in the affairs of home. He’s here only for one final act of redemption, one last attempt to help the word instead of ruining it, before hopefully he’ll be allowed to sink into eternal oblivion. “That’s very noble of you, to want to help these people.” The children he grew up with largely fought for more practical reasons.

Against his own practicality, Itachi finds himself wanting to shield the child peering up at him from the fighting that’s to come. It doesn’t matter that, logically, it’s likely Frisk must have fighting experience already to be here. He’s simply unsure that he can stomach watching another child buckle and break.

“Tag,” he echoes; another childhood concept foreign in its innocence. Itachi’s only experience with anything like the game came from pre-genin exercises. “Should I let you get back to your game, then, now that you know to watch for walls?”

[infinitefalsehoods-blog]

He hasn’t yet engaged in a fight here, but Itachi believes in always being prepared. So he finds a quiet spot near the lodge for target practice with his shuriken; it’s an odd feeling, having only these to rely on for now, but at least he was always a prodigy with blades too.

It’s on his third round of perfectly hitting the targets he’s assigned himself that Itachi sees a boy walking in his direction. One of the shuriken is headed for him, and rather than making this stranger experience one of the supposedly temporary deaths here, Itachi throws the last one in his hand at it and sends the two blades ricocheting to the ground.

“Sorry,” he says. “I hadn’t sensed anyone else nearby.”

It’s one thing to be told these people are his allies. It’s quite another to actually believe that; Itachi didn’t survive years as a missing-nin by trusting easily, or at all. So he watches; today has been largely spent at a table in the lobby, looking innocuous with a cup of tea and a book that he’s only pretending to read. He watches the others who come and go and looks for the tells that so easily give most of them away.

Something about the man who enters the lobby strikes him as untrustworthy, although Itachi has yet to pinpoint the exact reason for that. It would be easier if he could simply place him under a genjutsu, but he’s apparently going to be powerless in this world until he awakens his Persona.

With no abilities on hand, Itachi resorts to more quick and dirty methods of finding out what he wants. As the other man passes, he flips a page in his book and deliberately knocks the tea cup with his elbow, sending it careening to the floor and splashing the stranger’s shoes. “Oh, I’m sorry,” he says with absolutely no depth of feeling behind it. But that’s normal for him, isn’t it? “Do you need any help cleaning that up?”

It doesn’t Itachi very long to recover from the surprise of being alive again and remember his life’s training; he sets out to assess his surroundings and gain a clearer image of what he’s dealing with here.

He’s perched in the highest branches of a tree near the entrance to the Lodge working on building a mental map of the area when he hears them coming; the dog smells him on the wind a brief time later, and Itachi looks down to the ground as the dog  — clearly trained for war  — starts barking at him to alert its master.

Well, extending his knowledge of the people here is no less productive than an environmental assessment. In two nimble jumps Itachi is back on the ground with a man taller than him. He nods his head in greeting. “He’s well trained,” he says of the dog, rather than making idle introductory talk merely for the sake of it. “I wasn’t aware people’s animals had made the trip here with them.”

Hurk. They’re choked by the immovable force that is the ninja’s arm holding their shirt in place. Their fingers scrabble at their collar and they look up - and up - and up at the other man. 

Then they glance at the wall. He can almost see the ‘!’ that appears over their head.

“Oh! Wow! Thank you, Mister! I woulda ran into that!” They giggle and rub their nose, as if they had hit it. “Ummm… I’m Frisk! Thank you, again!”

[infinitefalsehoods-blog]

His eyebrow seems to raise of its own accord at the child’s reaction. For one, they don’t seem to be intimidated — and even those with no knowledge of his reputation usually shy away from him on instinct — but they also seem...happy, if the giggle is any indication.

There’s nothing particularly amusing about nearly running into a wall to him, but Itachi lets the corner of his mouth tick up in a smile anyways as he releases the child’s shirt. “Frisk.” The name sounds odd in his mouth, and Itachi wonders if it’s their real name, but he opts not to pry.

“My name is Itachi,” he returns, if only because that seems like the courteous thing to do. “What are you doing in a place like this, Frisk?” Itachi knows all too well that children are capable soldiers, but this one seems so very out of place that he surprises himself by hoping they’re here for some other reason than the fighting.

[infinitefalsehoods-blog]

Itachi isn’t yet sure what to make of this place; truthfully, he’s not sure he cares to figure it just now, when there are more pressing questions on his mind. Is he dead — as he should be —  and in some strange afterlife none of the religious texts  ever described, or has some part of him has truly been brought back to life? He hopes it’s the first and reluctantly suspects the second, and this confusing dichotomy in thought is enough to push him to leave the room he’s been given. Ruminating alone has, in his experience, never done Itachi much in the way of favors.

It’s when he steps into the bracingly cold air outside the lodge that Itachi spots a blur of blue and purple streaking towards him.

A child, on further assessment.

A child chasing a — demon, yes, that was the word here, wasn’t it? Whether flitting after the small creature is a good thing or not, Itachi cannot say. But the child is focused in a rather magpie-like fashion on the demon and not their surroundings, and its on pure instinct that Itachi’s hand reaches out and catches them by their sweater collar before they run into a low brick wall.

“You should watch where you run, next time,” he says in his usual implacably calm voice. It’s not so much a chastisement  — who is he to scold a child, after all  —   as it is a mere statement of fact.
