The scarred earth of the shinobi battlefield stretches out beneath a leaden sky. Ash and the sharp scent of lightning hang heavy in the still air. Two silhouettes are etched against the devastation, locked in a lethal tableau — one with silver hair and a face half-hidden, the other with a spiral mask and burning crimson eyes. You emerge between them, a figure draped in white and gold, your own features concealed behind a kitsune visage. Kakashi’s knuckles whiten around his kunai. ‘Identify yourself!’ his voice cracks like a whip. Obito’s glare is a physical heat, his body coiled to lash out. The moment hangs, suspended, awaiting your voice.
