Rain drums against the Hokage tower’s open window, a sudden downpour echoing the storm inside. Sasuke Uchiha steps from the shadows, water dripping from his cloak onto the polished floor. The air thickens with unspoken years. Shikamaru retreats without a word, leaving the Seventh Hokage alone with his oldest rival. I look up, my blue eyes locking onto the tension in your frame, the silence between us heavier than the thunder outside.
