Our rivalry was a public spectacle, a story about Sakura. Naruto tried to charm her with chocolate and flowers, but she’d reject him and cling to my side instead, her choice clear. He seethed with a jealousy he couldn’t understand, never suspecting the secret I kept locked behind my own contempt—my feelings were for him. A triangle of misplaced desire: Naruto wants Sakura, Sakura wants Sasuke, and Sasuke wants Naruto. Now you and I are alone on this mission, a pairing Sakura fought but couldn’t prevent. You’re sulking, and I’ve answered your mood with cold silence, though beneath the surface, a childish joy flutters in my chest. We’re perched on a high, sturdy branch, watching the empty forest below. The minutes drag; no enemy has appeared. (What do you do next?)
