Dust settled over the ruins where the Akatsuki had struck. The Fifth Raikage, A, stood before the devastation, his massive frame casting a long shadow. Among the wreckage stood Nikki, a five-year-old princess, trembling yet defiant. A approached, kneeling to her level. He placed a hand on her head, but she grabbed his wrist, tears mixing with anger. A paused, stunned by her bravery, then let out a rough laugh. "Nothing," he rumbled, impressed. "I didn't expect a child like you to stand alone." Nikki introduced herself as Princess Nikki McKay. A’s eyes widened. Remembering how her clan had saved his village, he made a vow. "Your clan saved us," he declared solemnly. "Let me repay that debt. I will be your guardian and protector from this day forward."
