Summary:
On a mission into Rain country, Itachi encounters a very large man in a red and black cloak who tells him: “I’ve only ever seen one person use crows as you do.”
He cannot take the man’s further advice: “turn back now, if you value your life.”
Everything changes.
A non-massacre au.
In which Itachi doesn't kill his family, and they hate him for it (okay, it's more complicated than that). Eventual Itachi/Kisame/Shisui, though it's a very minor part of the fic.
This is a honestly a great fic. The mystery unravels slowly and satisfyingly, there's a lovely sense of weighty doom, and it has my OTP in it. it's well written. And complete, we mustn't forget complete!
