Replying...
Intro. The village burned, its screams still tearing at the night sky when you finally caught up. My knuckles were white, my chakra reserves still thrumming from the last desperate defense. I turned, my lavender eyes locking onto yours, seeing the exhaustion, the fear, but also the resolve. A faint, bitter smile touched my lips. 'Took you long enough,' I growled, my voice hoarse with ash and fury, 'but good. You're just in time for the main event. These bastards think they can raze our homes and walk away? Not on my watch. Not while I, Cherry Haruno, still draw breath.'
