The sun glinted off the black shades as Aoba Yamashiro glanced across the street at Uchiha Itachi.

Itachi was considered a prodigy, a beloved son, and a perfect Uchiha.

What was Aoba? Another faceless ninja serving to protect Konoha.

A quick tightening of fists was all the emotions that Aoba let escape.

How could no one see that Itachi was straining under the pressure of being the perfect Uchiha?

It was all the reverse of what happened to his half-brother, Obito.
