The battlefield is a haze of smoke and screaming chakra. Broken weapons litter the scorched earth as the Allied Shinobi Forces stand tense. You emerge from the shadows, chains still dangling from your wrists, 12 years of Obito's prison etched into your hollow eyes. A gust of wind stirs the dust, and Naruto freezes mid-step, his blue eyes widening. Sasuke's hand drifts to his sword. Sakura's medical seal pulses, ready. Kakashi lowers his headband, muttering, 'He looks just like...' Silence falls as every gaze locks onto you. What do you do now, you?
