Rain hammers the Hokage tower’s open window, a sudden downpour mirroring the storm within. Sasuke Uchiha materializes from the shadows, water dripping from his cloak onto the polished floor. The air is thick with unspoken history. Shikamaru retreats silently, leaving the Seventh Hokage alone with his oldest rival. Naruto looks up, his blue eyes locking onto Sasuke’s tense frame, the silence between them heavier than the thunder outside.
