Against Danzo, Susanoo

The rain fell like a woven curtain, dyeing heaven and earth a dim gray-blue.

Sasuke's voice was low and icy, every word seeming to be squeezed from the depths of his soul. The fire of vengeance flickered in his eyes—a madness that would stop at nothing, even self-destruction. The atmosphere around them seemed to freeze, as though time itself had come to a halt.
