❖ Chapter 21| Bad Omen: Interruption... 🌸💋
Thursday 3:00 A.M.
Kakashi's dreams often drifted into the past, filled with both fond memories and haunting nightmares...
The darkness twisted around him like a shroud, suffocating. His breath hitched in his throat, the familiar chill of fear creeping up his spine. It was that nightmare again, the one he'd hoped he'd left behind with the Fourth Great Ninja War. The scene played out in slow motion, every detail vivid and excruciating. There he was, on the battlefield, Madara's hand reaching out of nowhere. He could feel the searing pain in his left eye as the Uchiha's fingers dug into his eye socket, leaving an emptiness where Obito's Sharingan used to reside.

The agony was almost unbearable, and even in his dream, he could feel his body convulsing from the shock. The loss of his sharingan had been a turning point for him, a reminder of his vulnerabilities. He had missed the sharingan, missed the strength it gave him, the edge it provided. A part of him still believed that without it, he was not as strong, not as capable as he once was.
This belief fueled his relentless training, his desire to stay sharp and to keep up with Naruto. Training with Naruto had become a way to bond, to maintain his skills, and to remind himself that he was still a formidable shinobi. But tonight, his insecurities gnawed at him, manifesting in his nightmare.
The image of Madara's twisted face shifted, the vision of his eye being ripped away... morphed into a more terrifying scenario. A hand shot out, reaching towards him, grasping at something. He tried to fight back, but was paralyzed, unable to move, as the hand tore something away.
His gut lurched, a cold dread seeping through him, he saw Sakura, his beloved, being pulled away from him by an unknown force. She screamed his name, her face pale with fear, tears streaming down her cheeks, her hand reaching out in vain. He finally reached out to her, but his hand passed through her as if she were a ghost. She was vanishing, disappearing into the darkness right before his eyes, and he was powerless to stop it.
