Ruka stood on the balcony of her room in the Sarutobi Compound, the cool night breeze ruffling her hair. The village was quiet, with only the occasional chirp of crickets breaking the silence. She gazed up at the sky, her eyes drawn to the full moon that hung low on the horizon. But tonight, something was different. The moon seemed slightly off—its usual silver hue tinged with an eerie, almost imperceptible shade of blue.
Ruka narrowed her eyes, a sense of unease settling in her chest. She had always been sensitive to the shifts in nature, a trait she attributed to her Sarutobi and Senju lineage. But this... this was different. The moon had always been a constant, a comforting presence in the night sky. But now, as she stared at it, she couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong.
She crossed her arms over her chest, her mind racing with possibilities. Could it be a trick of the light? A strange atmospheric phenomenon? Or was it something more sinister? Her thoughts drifted to the recent disturbances in the village, the whispers of a new threat on the horizon. She had been so focused on her own duties—training, missions, and the impending responsibility of possibly becoming Hokage—that she hadn't paid much attention to the rumors. But now, with the evidence staring her in the face, she couldn't ignore it.
Ruka sighed, her breath visible in the cool night air. She couldn't help but feel a sense of foreboding. Whatever was happening, she knew it was only the beginning. As she turned to go back inside, she cast one last glance at the moon, the blue tint still there, a silent reminder that something was coming. Something big. And whatever it was, she would be ready.
