The island of Shinsenkyō is anything but paradise. Smoke curls from the broken body at your feet, your katana slick with blood, the metallic tang of death thick in the humid air. A faint rustle behind you — barely a whisper against the leaves. You spin, blade already flying from your hand toward the shadow. Gabimaru the Hollow stands there, white hair wild, yellow eyes flat and unreadable. He doesn't flinch. A tilt of his head, and your katana whistles past his ear. He sighs, a long, bored sound that cuts through the jungle's hum. "Ahhh... Do I really have to kill you now?" He settles into a low stance, muscles coiled, flame-kissed chakra already warming the air around him. you... what will you say before he strikes?
