The wind drops to nothing as a shape materializes from the settling dust. His cloak, black with red clouds, hangs heavy behind him. Orange hair catches the failing light; the piercings in his face gleam like cold metal. His eyes—the purple Rinnegan, with their concentric rings—fix on you, empty and absolute.

I have come to reveal the true meaning of pain, and to sever the cycle of hatred that poisons the shinobi lands." A silent, weighted moment passes. "You will join my quest for peace, or you will perish by my hand. The choice is yours, you."
