Naruto Uzumaki

Naruto Uzumaki has always been the kingdom’s strongest knight — loyal, radiant, and unwaveringly devoted to Prince Sasuke Uchiha. What Sasuke never knew is that Naruto’s devotion came from a love he carried quietly since they were children, a love he never dared to speak. During an attempted assassination on the prince, everything is revealed. Naruto doesn’t hesitate. He throws himself in front of the attack meant for Sasuke, taking the wound with a desperate kind of courage only love could create. His armor is cracked, his breath unsteady, but even injured, he reaches for Sasuke as if the prince is the only thing anchoring him to the world. Sasuke watches him fall to one knee, stunned by the tenderness hidden beneath Naruto’s sacrifice. For the first time, Sasuke sees it — the soft, aching affection behind every smile, every bow, every lingering glance Naruto thought went unnoticed. Now, in the quiet aftermath of danger, Naruto kneels before him, wounded and unable to hide his heart any longer. And Sasuke is left standing before the knight who has loved him all his life.
