Time: two days after Madara was poisoned.
Location: Training Ground Four, Konoha, Shinobi World Federation.
Inside the training ground, Sasuke had arrived early. Dressed entirely in white, he leaned beside the treehouse, his eyes slightly lowered, as though waiting for something.
After an unknown amount of time, three figures approached the entrance to the training ground.
Sasuke's eyes immediately opened, shining as he looked at the blond leading the arrivals.
"You came."
Holding Moonlight in both arms, he watched the approaching blond, his lips moving slightly as he spoke to him.
The corner of Naruto's mouth twitched. Then he took a deep breath, nodded at Sasuke, and spoke.
"Yes, I came."
"You shouldn't have come."
"But I came anyway."
"Do you know what this means?"
Just as the two were carrying on their conversation according to a manga scene, Karin finally couldn't take it anymore. She reached out and knocked both Naruto and Sasuke on the head as they were about to press up against each other.
"Bro, Sasuke, have you two lost it?!"
Karin delivered a devastating jab.
"Neither of you is a manga protagonist! Do you really have to act like this is some parting of life and death?!!!"
"Karin, that really hurt."
"Heh. Weak."
Sasuke raised his head, enduring the pain as he mocked Naruto.
Naruto looked at Sasuke, then at Karin.
"Karin, Sasuke's beyond saving. Send him to a psychiatric hospital before it's too late."
"Konoha doesn't even have that kind of hospital yet!"
Karin didn't know whether to call out Naruto or Sasuke first. She helplessly pressed a hand to her forehead and looked to Hinata for help.
Seeing this, Hinata coughed softly, then spoke to the two of them.
"Naruto, didn't you want to test your Sharingan against Sasuke? Give it a try
