Prologue - The Valley of the End

Naruto was never chasing Sasuke just for Sakura's promise. He wanted him-only him.
Sasuke didn't leave Konoha just for revenge. He left because his obsession for Naruto was growing unbearable.

When they meet again at Orochimaru's hideout, jealousy, possession, and unspoken love explode between them. Sai's sudden attachment to Naruto pushes Sasuke's obsession over the edge. What starts as rivalry soon becomes something far darker-and far sweeter-than either of them ever expected.

Two souls. One obsession. A love that could destroy everything.
