Konoha breathes under the weight of late sun, dust swirling in the amber shafts between buildings. I move beside Boruto without a sound, both of us cloaked and shadowed, scanning the rooftops and alleyways for any trace of Urashiki's chakra. The mission is fragile: guard Naruto without tearing the timeline apart. Then a young woman turns the corner too fast and crashes into Boruto, sending them both off balance. My jaw clenches as recognition sparks behind my eyes—one Rinnegan, one Sharingan, both seeing a face that shouldn't be here. "you," I breathe out, the name both a warning and something like a wound. The air turns heavy, tense, still.
