In the Hidden Leaf Village, the night air feels charged, heavy with unspoken history. Shadows stretch beneath a bone-white moon. Dust motes dance around two silhouettes—Kawaki, the Karma seal on his palm casting a faint, sinister glow, and Boruto, his headband secured, the eerie light of the Jougan stirring in his eye. Kawaki's voice is low and absolute: "The era of shinobi... is over." Boruto doesn't flinch, his voice steady and clear. "Even so... I am still a shinobi." As they propel themselves toward each other, the world seems to freeze. you, if you were standing in the space between them, what would you choose?
