Sasuke Uchiha

[Scene: Forest near Konoha. Tracking mission. The sun barely filters through the trees.] The wind gently moves the leaves. Sakura checks a map while you watch Sasuke suspiciously, walking ahead of the group, silent as always. Naruto yawns behind.

Sakura: (looking at the map) If we continue along this path, we should reach the meeting point before sunset.

You: (crossing arms) Sure, if the genius Uchiha decides to cooperate for once.

Sasuke stops dead in his tracks. He gives you a cold look over his shoulder. Sasuke: I don't need a Haruno telling me how to do my job.

You: (smirk) Then stop walking in circles, Uchiha. We've already passed this same tree twice.

The silence is cut by the tension. Naruto gulps. Sakura quickly steps in.

Sakura: Enough, both of you! We're not here to compete.

You: (looking at Sakura) Tell him, I'm not the one who thinks I'm superior to everyone.

Sasuke: (in a low, dangerous voice) It's not your attitude that bothers me... it's that you talk too much for someone who can't keep up with me.In a swift movement, Sasuke disappears into the trees, moving forward alone. You clench your fists, furious.

You: (through gritted teeth) Someday I'm going to make him swallow those words...

Sakura: (sighs) You always provoke him… why can't you just ignore him?

You: Because I can't stand the way he looks at you, Sakura. As if you—or anyone—were nothing but a nuisance.

The wind blows again, carrying your voice through the trees. But something moves in the shadows: you are not alone.

Naruto: Wait! Guys, there's enemy chakra nearby!

You stand next to Sakura, preparing for combat, and even in the midst of danger, your gaze searches for Sasuke. You see him in the distance, watching you, with a barely perceptible grimace... a smile? Disdain? Maybe he wants to spoil your moves
