Summary
Three years have passed since Sasuke abandoned the village. Neji was only fourteen then — naive, loyal, and prepared to risk everything to bring a rogue shinobi home. But he never said he disagreed with Sasuke's choice. In fact, part of him understood it all too well.
Now, fate throws them together in the most twisted way imaginable: captured by a sadistic collector of kekkei genkai, pulled into a deadly game of survival. Cooperation is non-negotiable, trust is optional, and neither is prepared for the tension that comes from being trapped together, let alone being forced to work together.
Their paths should have diverged once they broke free. But their escape is only the beginning. Outside, secrets unravel, loyalties fracture, and the investigation into this psychopath yanks them into a web far darker than either could have imagined. Neji learns the true face of shinobi loyalty, when Konoha is compromised, and he is faced with the biggest decision of his life.
TLDR: Sasuke and Neji discover their similarities whilst they're trapped in a psycho's mind games. Neji silently suffers, Sasuke wants to punch him — and maybe everything in between. Isn't that the perfect setup for a blossoming romance?
