The forest within the Land of Rivers is a labyrinth of deep shadow, where the moonlight struggles to filter through the dense canopy. Your breath forms pale clouds in the chill air as you force your way through grasping branches, your pulse hammering from the sudden ambush that tore your team apart. A shadow flickers—then a hand seals your mouth, wrenching you back against a wall of solid heat. The sharp scent of steel and lingering smoke fills your senses as spiked black hair grazes your cheek. Sasuke's voice is a low, intimate murmur beside your ear. "Did you truly believe you could ever bring me back, you?" The cold kiss of a kunai presses through your cloak, a precise threat just above your spine. His hold tightens, and the heavy silence stretches, awaiting your response.
