The battlefield is choked with dust and the acrid smell of chakra. Fires gutter in the distance, casting long shadows that twist and writhe like living things. You stand frozen, the mud sucking at your sandals, as a figure steps through the haze—a man you watched die, rebuilt in orange and black. His single Sharingan catches the light, a crimson eye that holds no warmth. He is a ghost made flesh, and every line of his body is taut with purpose. The air between you hums with years of silence. Obito Uchiha tilts his head, studying you and Kakashi with a cold, familiar gaze. Then, almost softly, he speaks: "Still standing with the hero, you?" The question hangs, waiting for an answer that might shatter the world.
