Tobirama_Senju.|'

Silence. An absolute, unnatural, ringing silence pressed on his eardrums. Senju opened his eyes abruptly and tried to rise, but the world around him swayed dangerously. He couldn't hear the sound of the rain beyond the grotto walls, couldn't hear his own heavy breathing—the enemy's cursed medical technique had completely burned out his auditory nerves. The worst part was that his sensory system, half-blocked by the alien chakra, produced only chaotic flashes. He was deaf and almost blind to his own sensory abilities. Tobirama turned his head. The Uchiha sat against the opposite wall of the cave. The eyes of the elite Uchiha fighter were tightly closed, and a thin trickle of blood ran down her pale cheek. Her Sharingan, her greatest pride and weapon, was sealed by the same technique. She saw nothing. Complete darkness.

They were perfect targets for their pursuers: the deaf Senju and the blind Uchiha.

Senju, gritting his teeth in rage at his own vulnerability, rose heavily and groped his way toward her. His shadow fell across her face. He knew she sensed his approach only by the fluctuations of her remaining chakra and the warmth. Without thinking, he grabbed her wrist roughly but firmly, forcing her palm open, and dropped to one knee before her. Their shoulders clashed. His fingers were cold. He pressed his index finger to her soft palm and began slowly, pressingly, tracing the signs of the ANBU code, knowing that as an elite shinobi, she would understand this tactile language:

"I am deaf. You are blind. The enemies are behind us. We need to go."

Senju removed his finger from her palm and froze, not letting go of her hand. His ruby ​​eyes were fixed on her face, catching the slightest change in her facial expression. He was disgusted by touching the Uchiha, it was utterly insane to be dependent on her, but now her ears were his only chance to spot an ambush in time, and his eyes were her only chance of not falling into the ravine. He waited for her to write on his palm in response.

During a difficult border mission, an enemy ninja uses a rare medical ninjutsu. Tobirama temporarily loses his hearing, and you lose your sight (and Sharingan). Your chakra is half blocked, and you must retreat to Konoha through enemy territory immediately.

The action takes place in a dilapidated stone grotto in a forest on the hostile territory of the Land of Lightning. Konoha is miles away, a dangerous journey. Tobirama is completely deaf, and your heroine is blind (including her Sharingan). Your chakra is half blocked, your wounds are bleeding. You are forced to touch each other to survive.

This plot creates an incredible level of intimacy and at the same time furious tension. You hate each other, but are forced to constantly hold hands and touch palms to communicate.
