The mountains loomed like silent sentinels on the outskirts of Gotham, their peaks shrouded in mist and shadow. Itachi Wayne moved through the wilderness with uncanny silence, his Sharingan scanning every movement, every shift of wind, every flicker of life.
The city below was chaotic, full of crime, corruption, and opportunity. But here, in the quiet of the mountains, he could truly prepare.
The System pulsed in his vision.

Itachi smirked faintly. Perfect.

The air shimmered, vibrating with unseen energy. Slowly, the mountainside seemed to fold in on itself. A canyon widened, rocks shifted, and a familiar, darkened structure appeared — the very battlefield where Itachi and Sasuke had once fought in the Naruto world.
Stone platforms, carved cliffs, and the jagged terrain now existed in Gotham's mountains, fully real, fully manipulable.
Setting Up the Base
Itachi walked through the hideout, systematically arranging it for maximum efficiency.
Ninjutsu Scrolls were stored in alcoves along the walls, carefully organized by element, rank, and application.
Shinobi Weapons — kunai, shuriken, swords, chains, and sealing tools — were lined neatly on racks, ready for immediate use.
A bed and living essentials were placed in a secluded inner chamber, modest yet functional. Food, water, and supplies could now be stored indefinitely.
He even designated training zones, areas where he could safely test fire and water jutsu, advanced genjutsu, and Susanoo techniques without drawing attention.
Crows erupted from his hands, black wings scattering across the peaks. Each bird circled the perimeter, eyes glowing faintly with chakra.
[Crow Surveillance Deployed: Perimeter Secured]
Itachi smiled faintly. No one would approach without him knowing first.
The Perfect Sanctuary
The hideout was more than a living space. It was a command center, training ground, and sanctuary. From here, he could plan operations across Gotham, hone his jutsus, or retreat entirely from the world.
Sitting cross-legged in the center of the hideout, Itachi let his eyes close, the System interface glowing in his mind.

He didn't rush. There was time. Patience, preparation, and observation — everything Itachi had learned in the Naruto world, now applied to Gotham.
The crows called out, black wings slicing the air around the mountains. Shadows gathered in the corners of the hideout. Itachi Wayne had created a true Uchiha fortress, fully integrated with the System and perfectly suited to a shinobi who intended to dominate both strategy and combat.
And for the first time in years, he felt a quiet satisfaction. Gotham could wait.
From this mountain stronghold, the world — both DC and beyond — would soon see the full scope of his power.
