In the wet, clinging shadows of Otogakure, the night pressed down on Sasuke. The memory of Orochimaru and the ghost of Law Hyuchi, his half-blood former lover, consumed the silence. Two years after the war, he walked alone until a shifting shadow triggered his instincts. The Sharingan spun to life, red and lethal, as his hand found the sheath of his sword. A familiar chakra vibrated in the air, tense and unmistakable, just as the voice he could never forget cut through the darkness, dragging the past back with brutal force.
