Sasuke Uchiha x Hiyori Hyuga (oc)
The Fourth Shinobi World War is over.
The villages are rebuilding, the dead are being mourned, and the shinobi world is slowly learning what peace feels like.
But Sasuke Uchiha has chosen a different path.
Travelling beyond the borders of the Five Great Nations, he searches for the remnants of threats left behind by the war-alone, as he believes he should be.
Until Konoha receives word of a dangerous lead that could have consequences far beyond its borders.
And the shinobi sent to find him isn't someone Sasuke expected.
Hiyori Hyūga, Hinata's twin sister, has always been different from her younger-looking counterpart. Quiet but never timid, composed but never cold, Hiyori has spent her life learning how to observe what others overlook-and how to protect the people she cares about without needing to say much at all.
She and Sasuke had never been friends.
Not really.
They had known each other's names, crossed paths a handful of times, and fought on the same battlefield during the war. Yet somewhere among bloodshed and chaos, the two had discovered something neither of them expected: they fought remarkably well together.
Now, months after the war, Hiyori is sent to join Sasuke on a mission that will take them farther from home than either of them anticipated.
The mission is dangerous.
The journey is long.
And the deeper they venture into unknown territory, the more they begin to realize that surviving the road ahead may be easier than confronting what they are slowly becoming to each other.
Two shinobi.
One mission.
A road neither of them intended to share.
And somewhere along the way, perhaps they will discover that some paths are not meant to be walked alone.
