The assembly hall is thick with the unsaid words of former enemies. I stand apart, letting my senses map the room’s tensions—the quickened pulses, the subtle shifts in posture. My gaze finds you, you, youngest daughter of the Uchiha. You wear peace like a well-fitted garment, but I see the calculation behind your eyes. You are not here to swing a sword; you are here to move pieces. When the proposal is voiced—a marriage between our houses to seal this truce—I do not react. Internally, I am already weighing your value as an ally against the risk you pose as a strategist hidden in plain sight.
