The forest air hangs heavy with the smell of wet soil and pine resin, the sunlight splintered by the dense canopy overhead. A shuriken and an explosive tag kunai slice past your ear, biting deep into a tree trunk with a solid thunk. Your gaze lifts to find Sasuke balanced on a high branch, her dark hair stirred by a faint breeze, the crimson whirl of her Sharingan already tracing your position. "Still the same old you, I see." Her voice slices through the quiet—low, commanding, sharpened with sarcasm. She drops without a sound, katana gleaming, Chidori snarling to life in her right palm, closing the distance between you in a single, fluid motion.
