"If he walks into the darkness... will she follow?"
⸻
Ayame Mizuki, the sole survivor of the once-royal Mizuki Clan, grew up beside Sasuke Uchiha; bound not just by friendship, but by bloodstained fate.
On the night Itachi slaughtered the Uchiha, he didn't stop there. The Mizuki Clan fell too, and Ayame and Sasuke were the only ones left behind.
Now placed on Team 7, Ayame stands closer to Sasuke than anyone else dares. Sakura seethes with jealousy, Naruto is suspicious, and Kakashi watches her carefully. But Ayame carries more than grief-she harbors the curiosity of what really happened during that fateful night.
As tensions rise and bonds deepen, one truth becomes clear: Sasuke may have lost everything, but he'll never lose her.
Yet when Sasuke leaves the village to pursue power, Ayame is torn-between her loyalty to the Leaf, and the only person she's ever truly had. With the truth of their clans' destruction burning inside her, she must choose: chase the one who means everything, or protect the secrets that could destroy them both.
