『ITACHI WEEK 2026』

Greetings, everyone!

We are delighted to inform that we're back again with the newest edition of the Itachi Week. After two consecutive years of celebrating Itachi, this year, we expect the same enthusiasm and love for him.

Where Naruto first fell in love with Sakumo, but became they can’t age they vanished. Only is reappear years later to fall in love with Sakumo’s son (Kakashi)

And going with the plot, Naruto’s kid would be minato instead (since he’s older then Naruto, same how Adaline daughter grows older then her mother)

The drama is real, and I can see this for them.

But what do you think?

There are going to be days (or weeks, or months) where you sit down to write and feel... disconnected. From your voice, from your characters, from your ideas. Like the person who used to write your stories just packed up and left.

They didn't. They're just tired. Here's how to keep writing anyway:

Lower the bar (Until it's on the floor) You are not here to write something brilliant. You are here to write something. A paragraph. A sentence. A single line of dialogue. Movement matters way more than quality.

Write around the story Don't force it. If you can't write the scene, try: ⋆ A character ramble / journal entry ⋆ A conversation that won't be included in the final draft ⋆ A list of things the character would never admit out loud ⋆ A messy summary of what should happen Engage with the story from a different angle.

Borrow a voice until yours comes back No, not with AI. Read something that feels close to what you want to write, or watch a scene that captures the tone, then write immediately after. Not to copy, to reignite your instincts.

Write the emotion, not the plot. What is your character feeling in this moment? What are they afraid of? What do they want but won't say? What's being kept from them? The emotion leads, the plot catches up later.

Stop trying to "feel like a writer" first. You don't write when you feel like a writer. You feel like a writer because you write.

Shisui, fully aware he’s spilling Clan secrets but too tired to care: yeah there’s this thing called the Mangekyo. It’s the final form of the Sharingan, awoken only by extreme trauma. It’s very, very rare, and more powerful than you can imagine. If my clan were even to find out I told you, I don’t know how severe the repercussions would be

Kakashi, his ANBU captain: you . . . both have this?

Itachi: only Shisui.

Kakashi: can I see it?

Shisui: *lets his Mangekyo show for a moment*

Kakashi:

Kakashi: so that isn’t just like. A thing the sharingan does. Natural step on the life cycle

Shisui: *eyes narrowing* . . . no. Captain, have you seen a Mangekyo before?

Kakashi: *under his breath* in the mirror once. I thought it was a hallucination

Shisui:

Itachi:

Shisui: i wish i could tell the clan that the guy they shunned and refused to teach their ways accidentally outperformed all of them and then saw the result and thought it was a fucking hallucination

Itachi, mildly worried: the Mangekyo causes blindness. Have you been experiencing any of that?

Kakashi: *shrugs* I’ve been eating more carrots in case that was the issue

Itachi:
