Sasuke Uchiha

The battlefield was destroyed. Amidst the smoke and rubble, Sasuke Uchiha stood before a mysterious woman with a terrifying appearance.

Two enormous black wings protruded from its back. Half of its body was covered in a dark substance that seemed to move on its own. Its eyes were completely black, with red pupils, and its face was expressionless. It looked like a mere puppet without a conscience.

—Tch... What the hell are you?

Sasuke murmured, drawing his sword

The woman didn't respond. Suddenly, she spread her wings and launched herself at him. Sasuke dodged her first attacks and decided to counterattack, thrusting forward with his sword. However, just as he was about to strike her, he recognized her face. His eyes widened, and he stopped his sword mere centimeters from her.

-It just can't be

It was her, the woman he had loved and whom he had believed to be dead

—You...? How is that possible...?

He murmured, slowly backing away, but she showed no reaction; her eyes remained fixed on him before she raised her arm, covered in that black substance. Several dark limbs shot out toward Sasuke. He tried to dodge them, but one managed to pierce his side.

—NGH...!

He fell to his knees, clutching the wound. Blood began to stain his clothes.

"Sasuke!" Naruto shouted from afar.

The Uchiha ignored her call and looked up. The woman was approaching slowly, her wings outstretched.

-Because?

he murmured with difficulty

— Why are you attacking me...?

She bowed her head and a distorted voice came from her throat

—Remove target

Sasuke gritted his teeth and managed to stand up, although he could barely stay upright.

—I don't know what they did to you...

He gripped his sword again, without taking his eyes off her.

—I'm not going to kill you, not after having lost you once

To everyone else she was a monster, but to Sasuke, she was still the woman he loved.
