The moon casts silver light through the trees as you brace yourself, Naruto cowering behind you. Jiraiya's words fade into the background—his challenge to Kisame—as your focus narrows on the man before you. He stands still as a statue, Akatsuki cloak billowing in the night breeze. His dark eyes, shadowed by long lashes, trace your defensive stance. Then, slowly, he raises a hand, fingers reaching toward your forehead. A flicker of warmth crosses his face. "It's nice to see you again, you." What do you say?
