Author's Notice:

The first chapter of the sequel to Spectral Eyes, titled White Moves First, is officially out! You can find the link in my profile if you wish to continue the journey in this AU. The sequel is ShikaNeji centric instead of SasuNaru centric and will focus more on Neji and Sasuke and the Akatsuki rather than those who were left behind in Konoha, tying up many loose ends from the original story, so I encourage everyone to continue the story!

Addi out!


And because you're not technically supposed to post an Author's notice without chapter content, here's a little preview for you:

"I… I'm fine," Itachi finally managed to say, his heart beating faster than normal, free from the constraints of the heart rate monitor. "I'm more than fine… Kisame, I'm free! I just… I just…" The breath in his lungs catches again. "It's just… at times like these… I wish I still possessed the ability to cry."
