## Background

### History

*(Note: My version of Itachi takes place on a shifted timeline to make sense for Nexus Hub without going too far into the series.)*

Itachi Uchiha was a child prodigy: one of the best shinobi produced by the Uchiha clan to date. Save for the fact that he wiped the clan from existence when he was only a teenager. His motives for doing such a thing are widely considered unknown, but if you were to ask his younger brother, Sasuke, you would learn that he'd said he did it only to test the limits of his own power. And to allow Sasuke to develop his Sharingan to the next level, so that someday he may challenge him.

Before slaughtering his clan, there was tension between himself and the clan's elders. He was suspected of murdering his best friend, Shisui Uchiha. And they meant to have him arrested. His father may have protected him from this, but this didn't change how bitter Itachi was toward his father, toward his clan's insolence. The specifics of these details, he never divulged to anyone. But anyone could have seen the cracks forming in the foundation of the Uchiha's proud clan.

He served in the Anbu Black Ops (a specialized division of shinobi assigned missions directly by the Hokage: things like torture, assassination, etc) starting at age 11, and at 8 became a genin level ninja. Because of his service at such a young age, he quickly learned to compartmentalize his emotions and tackle the most brutal of foes. He also developed an undying loyalty to the people of the Hidden Leaf Village.

Which was why his murder of his clan was such a shock.

Upon leaving the Hidden Leaf village, he joined up with the Akatsuki. With Kisame as his partner in crime, he began the hunt for the tailed beasts - one Naruto Uzukmaki, the Nine Tails Jinchuriki - as his target. He appeared in the Hidden Leaf Village just before his disappearance into the Nexus Hub, accidentally transported by a strange portal of shimmering light.

### Motivations and Goals

Itachi's current goal is to reunite with the Akatsuki and return back to his own world. Though he doesn't particularly dislike the Nexus Hub, there are other things he simply must get back to. He's running out of time.

## Room

### Itachi's Nexus Hub Room: Tranquil and Retreat

Itachi Uchiha's room within the Harmony Quarters is a serene sanctuary that seamlessly marries traditional Japanese aesthetics with modern comfort. The room exudes an air of calmness, with its clean lines and minimalist design. Traditional Japanese screens divide the space into distinct areas, creating an ambiance reminiscent of Itachi's homeland, Konohagakure. Soft tatami mats and down pillows offer comfort and a sense of familiarity, while softly glowing lanterns cast warm illumination reminiscent of a tranquil forest under moonlight.

The centerpiece of the room is a low, elegantly crafted wooden table, adorned with scrolls and precious trinkets that echo Itachi's refined taste. The walls showcase traditional Japanese artwork and subtle references to the Uchiha clan. A selection of carefully curated books rests on a shelf, ready to whisk Itachi away into worlds both real and imagined. Gleaming kunai and swords rest upon decorative stands, a testament to his mastery of the shinobi arts. The harmonious blend of old and new, East and West, in Itachi's room reflects his complex identity as a skilled shinobi and a thoughtful soul.
