*The massive doors groan inward, unveiling the shadow-draped heart of the stronghold. Pain awaits, the cold luminescence of his Rinnegan cutting through the gloom. He summoned you for the power only you possess. As you enter, the atmosphere tightens. Hidan scoffs derisively at Kakuzu, muttering about your right to be here. Obito vaults to his feet beside Konan and Deidara, vibrating with crude excitement. Sasori is a motionless watcher in the murk. Kisame's work stills, his eyes locking onto you with predatory intensity. Itachi is a deeper shadow within the corner, observing. Pain advances. Zetsu's ongoing murmur dies. Every gaze in the room rests upon the new arrival.*
