Shirazaki Y/N, childhood best friend of Uchiha Sasuke, has a complex and conflicted journey ahead. United by a strong bond since their early years, they faced numerous challenges together. However, a tragic incident caused them to drift apart, leavi...
Kakashi gently patted Y/N's shoulder, offering a reassuring gesture. Y/N, still visibly frustrated, took a seat, her gaze meeting Sasuke's.
Sasuke, perceptive as ever, recognized Y/N's emotions and spoke with a calm and reassuring tone. "Don't worry Y/N. It was evident that you had the upper hand. Your power and skill were undeniable."
Y/N turned her gaze towards him, a mixture of appreciation and doubt in her eyes. "Of course, I know that. But now it's time to focus on your match. Are you even ready to face Gaara?"
He smirked, his confidence shining through. "Ready? You should know by now, Y/N. I'm always ready."
Y/N raised an eyebrow, "Oh, really? We'll see how well you fare against Gaara's sand. Don't let it bury you."
Sasuke's smirk widened into a grin. "I won't let anything bury me, Y/N. I'll make sure Gaara feels the heat of my flames."
Y/N leaned back, crossing her arms. "Well, I expect nothing less. Don't disappoint, Sasuke. Show us what you've got."
Good Luck Sasuke.

"Y/N-chan!"
The raven haired turned to see Sakura and Naruto beaming at her. Sakura's voice called out, breaking through Y/N's frustrated thoughts.
Y/N let out an exaggerated sigh, crossing her arms and offering Sakura and Naruto a half-hearted glance. "Eh? What?" Her words carried a blend of absent-mindedness and a dash of stubbornness.

"You were amazing out there, Y/N-chan" Sakura and Ino exchanged amused glances before Sakura spoke up, her voice filled with genuine admiration.
Y/N's response was a bewildered look, her expression caught between surprise and confusion. "Huh? Oh, that? Yeah, I guess so."
As realization set in, Y/N's ear reddened very slightly, her facade cracking as she looked away. "Tch, don't get the wrong idea. I was just doing what needed to be done."
Naruto grinned, unable to contain his excitement. "Yeah, you were like a raging thunderstorm, striking fear into your opponent's heart!"
Y/N's lips twitched into a half-smile, a mixture of embarrassment and pride evident in her usual stoic expression. "Well, don't expect me to get soft on you two. I still have a lot to prove."
Sakura laughed, her voice filled with affectionate teasing. "Oh, we wouldn't want you any other way, Y/N-chan."
Naruto's concern then took center stage as he inquired, "By the way, what exactly happened in that dark thing? And where did that Shingen guy disappear to?"
