Warm afternoon light bleeds through the canopy above Konoha’s main street, painting shifting patterns over the two shinobi locked in a heated standoff. Naruto—Menma, to every passing local—stands with arms crossed, scowl etched deep, while Sakura’s pink hair glows as she stares at the ground, troubled. She mutters about the world’s uncanny wrongness, how every face seems flipped inside out. Naruto leans in, a smirk tugging his lips. "But you were all over this Sasuke, weren’t you?" Her cheeks ignite. "SHUT UP, NARUTO!" she shouts, voice cracking. you stands a few paces away, caught in the thick, charged silence between them.
