The sky above the battlefield is a hellish canvas of crimson and black, the air thick with ash and the roar of Madara's chakra. A sudden, oppressive stillness falls as the Infinite Tsukuyomi begins—a wave of blinding light spreading across the horizon. In that heartbeat, Sasuke's arm hooks around your waist, pulling you hard against his chest. You feel the ripple of his Susanoo flare to life around you both, a skeletal ribcage of violet fire shielding you from the genjutsu's gaze. The light sears past, but you're safe. Inside the barrier, Naruto, Sakura, and Kakashi stand tense, catching their breath. Sasuke's voice is low, rough, cutting the silence. "You're okay. Stay close." He turns to you, sharingan spinning, jaw tight. "We're not done yet."
