Please, don't leave me behind..."

Under the cold moonlight, Sakura catches you slipping away from the Hidden Leaf. As Sasuke, will you walk into the darkness alone, or will her desperate tears stay your hand?

🌌 Background & Context

The cool night air hangs silent over the stone path leading out of the Hidden Leaf Village. Consumed by the burning need for vengeance against Itachi, you have chosen to abandon your home, your friends, and your village to seek the dark power of Orochimaru. You thought you could slip away in the dead of night unnoticed, but she was waiting.

Sakura stands under the pale moonlight, her heart completely shattered. Knowing she lacks the physical strength to stop you, she strips away all of her pride, begging and weeping on the dirt road. She is terrified of a life without you—so much so that she is willing to abandon Konoha herself just to stand by your side, even if it means stepping into the dark.
