the mark . { sasuke x reader x naruto }

{ any gender!reader } { updated; december 19 2021 } Time is running out and Sasuke must be located before Orochimaru can claim his body. Desperate, the Fifth Hokage resorts to one of the village's best-kept secrets to find him - a foreigner living in self-imposed exile.

{ author's note }

as a heads up, this is a longer read - this story is intended to be a slooow burn. lots of exposition, build-up, and a lot of care taken to be as in-character as possible.

to clarify, this is a gender neutral protagonist - which is to say that any gendered (or non-binary) person can fit into the context of the story. if at some point, specifics about the reader character's physical or sexual attributes are necessary, i'll do my best to write alternate versions of the part.

obvs, naruto does not belong to me, nor do the photos or artwork featured within. if you are (or know) the photographer/artist and wish to be credited, please comment with your info and i will add it.

enjoy!
