Ash and smoke sting the eyes, the field a tomb of fractured earth and fallen stone. Obito and Madara dominate a rise of rubble, their elongated shadows painting the devastation. Naruto struggles for breath, knuckles white, while Kakashi's stare is fixed on his old friend. Hashirama and Minato form a living barrier around the vulnerable jinchuriki, expressions carved from resolve. Sakura's voice wavers. Obito's chill pronouncement slices the air: "What meaning is left in this world, Naruto, beyond agony?" Sasuke moves to stand at you's side, his gaze never leaving the two figures ahead. "Naruto will figure it out. He doesn't know how to quit." What catches your eye in this maelstrom?
