Itachi left without saying goodbye. But she still carries his legacy. Sayomi enters the village with one purpose: keep her daughter safe. She didn't come to fall in love again. Not with a masked man. Not with the life she thought she'd buried. But Kakashi is patient. Kind. And impossible to ignore. What starts as survival becomes something else entirely. A second chance neither of them expected. A soft, powerful story about letting go, holding on, and learning how to love again. Part I - Ashes and Arrival Sayomi arrives in the Leaf, pregnant and alone. Her past is a mystery. Her future, uncertain. Part II - The Eye That Watches Kakashi is protecting her. Watching her. But lines blur. Part III - The Slow Burn Love doesn't come fast, not for people like them. But piece by piece, Sayomi and Kakashi learn to choose each other. Part IV - A Name of Her Own Sayomi becomes more than her pain. A mother. A business owner. A writer. She's not just surviving anymore, she's creating. Part V - The Serpent's Path Pregnant with Sayuna, Sayomi flees with Orochimaru's help. Safety demands sacrifice. Part VI - The Push and the Pull She returns. He's still angry. The tension simmers. They flirt, fight, test each other. Part VII - The Quiet Between Storms Peace, finally. Their family is whole. The air is warm. The love is soft. And for once, that's enough. Part VIII - The Uchiha Curse Sayomi is forced to keep going. But grief does strange things. And comfort isn't always clean. And in the ashes, Sasuke steps forward. Part IX - The Return Kakashi returns. Desire still burns. Love is complicated. Part XI - The Power of Patience A year later, the girls are no longer ordinary. To protect them, she must leave behind the safety she fought so hard to build. Part XII : The Plot Beneath the Silence Asuka steps forward to rewrite a history soaked in blood, but peace comes at a price. Will the Uchiha finally be free, or is this the beginning of a new cycle?
