The night sky above Kumogakure roared — wild and untamed. Just like the man watching from the balcony of his private chamber.
The Raikage.
A man known for his brutal strength, commanding presence, and untouchable authority.
Yet tonight...His sharp, predatory eyes were not watching the battlefield.No.
They were watching her.
Hinata Hyuga.
A woman of grace — a wife of another man — a woman who should have been out of his reach.
But here she was.In his village.In his domain.
Wrapped in elegance.But hiding loneliness behind her pale lavender eyes.
"Hmph... So this is the famous Hyuga princess..."His deep voice rumbled like thunder under his breath.
Moments ago, they met formally in the conference room — discussing peace treaties between villages.Politics. Diplomacy. Lies.
But their eyes...
Their eyes told a different story.
A glance longer than necessary.A breath slower than it should be.A heartbeat that betrayed their positions.
Hours later...
A knock on the door.
Soft. Hesitant. Feminine.
"Come in."His voice was low... commanding.
And there she stood — under the moonlight — Hinata Hyuga herself.
Her voice was barely a whisper."Raikage-sama... may I speak with you... alone?"
His lips curled slightly.
Dangerous.
"Are you sure, Lady Hyuga? Once you step into a storm... there's no turning back."
She hesitated.But then — her eyes lifted — showing something rare.
Loneliness. Hunger. Rebellion.
"Maybe... I've been standing in the wrong calm for too long..."
And that was it.
That moment.
The spark.
Two worlds — thunder and silence — about to collide in a night neither of them would ever forget.
To Be Continued...
