Ridiculously short, but as its title implies, this is really just a preview doujinshi. A teaser, if you will--and it does a good job of teasing me. ANBU ITACHI. Oh, be still, my heart *__*

We begin with Itachi post-battle, five enemy nin's fallen bodies around him. He has a kunai in each hand, and without looking, he throws one behind him to embed it in the trunk of a tree. A man appears from behind the tree, and it's obvious that Itachi knew he was there. We then cut to a panel with Itachi's surprised face as a large katana protrudes from his chest.

Naturally, Itachi is just too awesome to be easily fooled and his bunshin disappears. The real Itachi now stands behind this mystery man, his katana pressed against the man's throat. Off-topic, but WOW, is Itachi ever hot in ANBU and holding that sword...

Anyways, it's pretty obvious he's asking who the guy is and perhaps what his purpose is for seeking him out. Want to know? And I quote, "to be next new publication."

Now if I only knew which one that was...

There's also a solo illustation at thend with Itachi in his Akatsuki clothes. As expected of Echigoya, even if it's only 8 pages long, the artwork is very well done.
