She was the academy's prodigy. Cold, relentless, carrying a name carved from loss.
Where others saw Naruto Uzumaki as a nuisance, she saw the monster sealed within him,

But fate binds her to Team 7-
† Naruto, the boy she cannot forgive.
† Sasuke, the rival she refuses to yield to.
† Sakura, the girl dismissed as fragile yet burning for more.
† Kakashi, the teacher who hides behind a mask of his own.

When the cracks form, what will remain of her?
