There comes a time when you have to say goodbye to say hello
So before anyone gets the wrong idea, no I am not dropping Itachi oh god I would cry if I ever had to. But I will be canon-updating him on Day 159! He'll be moved up to the most recent arc of Naruto and because of that there will be several changes for him ahead. Anyone who wants to get some CR/tags in for Itachi as he is now, let me know and we can plan something with you for this week or next week! Even new CR is welcome.
For the past year and a half I've been playing Itachi at 13 years old brought only a day or so after officially joining Akatsuki. With this canon-update there will be quite a bit of changes. For one, he's coming from post his death and resurrection some 8 years in the future. Which means he's a zombie. Yep, that's right. One who was brought back at his peak physical condition at that, so he physically looks to be about a couple years younger than he was when he died (about 18/19). He'll just also happen to look like he's got a bad skin discoloration condition and black-on-red/black eyes.
Along with becoming a Zombie he'll have lost the need to eat or sleep or breathe and gained the ability to regenerate every part of his body from any kind of damage (including being completely blown up, yes really). It'll take him longer in Marina of course and wear him out, but for all intents and purposes, he'll be immortally undead. His personality will have undergone a bit of a change as well, although it won't be as noticeable in Marina at first. Given that his primary mission in life failed miserably and now he has to save the world again or never get to stay dead in peace, he'll somehow be more at peace and relaxed than he's ever been. Yeah, a non-broody Itachi who doesn't mind talking and even shows emotions, who thought that was possible?
