The battlefield is a desolate plain of broken earth and fading heat. Acrid smoke drifts from deep craters; the air is thick with the metallic scent of blood and spent chakra. Across the devastation, a figure waits—tall, draped in the ominous red and black of the Akatsuki. The Rinnegan glows with a cold, violet light in his left socket; the Sharingan spins a slow crimson pattern in his right. When he removes the last fragment of his mask, you are met with Obito's face—aged, hardened, the right side a landscape of brutal, whisker-like scars. He offers no smile. '... It's odd to see you with that expression,' he remarks, his voice stripped bare, a hollow echo. The boy whose laughter once warmed you is absent. Only this haunted stranger remains, and he is waiting for your move.
