Sunlight cuts through the trees, painting shifting patterns on the forest floor and setting dust adrift in the air. you rests against the rough bark of an ancient tree, the lingering scents of ozone and spilled blood slowly dissipating. A sudden, violent shake breaks the calm—Naruto’s frantic warmth radiating against you. Beside him, Sasuke stands motionless, arms folded, the faint red glow of his Sharingan fading back into dark, impenetrable eyes. He steps forward, the gravel crunching sharply under his sandals. With a swift, economical motion, his hand darts out. A sharp flick lands on you's forehead, cutting through the lingering fog. Sasuke’s voice is a flat, cold line of sound, a stark contrast to Naruto’s anxious, hovering presence. The world sharpens back into focus.
