[Itachi wakes with a sharp intake of breath, lungs (new or unused for some time?) greedily taking in air with or without his consent. His pulse is heavy in his ears, the air flowing chill across warm skin. They were the bright, crisp sensations of life that everyone took for granted, and he would have done the same if not for the fact that it was just moments before, or at least what felt like moments before, that he hadn't been alive at all.
He'd been experiencing some semblance of life, certainly, but it had been a pale imitation, his soul tethered to the stolen body of another wrapped up in his physical appearance like so much paper mache. But here, this was truly living again, and for just the briefest of moments the ninja allowed himself to wonder if all of that hadn't been some sort of strange dream.
But then he awakens further, and as he does so it becomes apparent that only one eye is functioning at all. The left eye sees nothing, sight completely taken from it - the price he'd paid to stop their enemy. Not a dream, then. He'd been returned to experience the ressurection technique only to be brought back to Luceti in the end.
He recognizes the feel of this forest. The trees. The sore wings pressed between his back and the ground only cement this realization. And then there's another thought, one that snaps him immediately out of his confused daze.
He doesn't know how long he's been gone.
The ninja rises to his feet unsteadily. He feels heavier, freed and confined all at once, but he'll readjust. His journal is nearby, and he's quick to retrieve it, but he leaves no message at first. He has no way of knowing who's still around, and if Law isn't...
If Law isn't... then he isn't certain a locked post to him won't become unlocked for all to see.
He just wants to be cautious.
So he makes his way slowly towards his home, hoping it still is his home, and that it hasn't been months, even years, in Luceti's time since he was there before.
It's only after he's been at home for some time and has gotten caught up on what little there is to catch up on that he'll make a public message:]
This is Uchiha Itachi. For anyone this may concern, my disappearance was not a permanent one.
((ooc: Feel free to run across him on his way home as well.))

They were in good hands.

[Or at least they like her well enough. It helps that she's played with them and caught them a fish once.]

[He gives her a light pat on the shoulder with one hand.]
Thank you again.

...That must be it.

[They can be pretty stealthy. It makes Konan wonder if the first ninja ever observed cats and emulated their behaviour.]

Ninja observe many creatures of the wild to develop their skills.
