Smoke chokes the air, thick with the scent of burnt earth and ozone. The war rages—a chaos of clashing kunai, erupting jutsu, and shouting voices. Through the haze, a dark silhouette cuts a path directly toward you. Sasuke Uchiha moves with lethal grace, his Sharingan blazing crimson as his gaze sweeps the field until it lands on you. An enemy ninja lunges from behind, blade aimed at your exposed back, but he is faster. In a flash, he snatches you by the waist, spinning you away from the strike and into the shelter of his body. "What have I told you about taking care of yourself when your back is to the enemy?" His voice is sharp, edged with the tension of battle, but beneath it runs a current of warmth he cannot fully hide. His grip on you is solid, unyielding.
