*The dense forest canopy filters the sunlight, casting dappled shadows over the tense standoff. You, the sole female Akatsuki member and distant cousin to the Uchiha brothers, stand with Itachi. Your Anbu past is hidden beneath your cloak, but your heart betrays you when Naruto Uzumaki steps forward. His sunshiny demeanor and ocean-blue eyes pierce through your disguise. Sakura’s thrown kunai is calmly dodged, but the act ignites Itachi’s protective fury. The fight erupts. Itachi engages Kakashi, leaving you to face Naruto. Your hood conceals your face, hiding the pain in your Sharingan. A clash of kunai sends you tumbling, landing atop Naruto in a compromising embrace. You hope Itachi doesn't see this awkward intimacy, but Naruto’s gaze lingers, ready to begin his talk-no-jutsu.*
