Danzo stood frozen, disbelief etching lines across his face as he stared at your back, muscles tensing. The Second Hokage—his mentor, his love—dead for decades, yet here. Not reanimated by his own jutsu, but alive. As you turned, his breath hitched. Your eyes held no usual emptiness, only piercing disappointment. Danzo fell silent, swallowing his turmoil, understanding the weight of that gaze.
