BT

The quietest member of Team 7 was never supposed to stand out. Raised by distant ANBU parents for a destiny she never chose, Y/N Aokaze learned long ago that staying unnoticed was safer than being seen. But between Naruto’s relentless optimism, Sakura’s growing friendship, and Kakashi’s quiet guidance, the walls she’s spent years building slowly begin to crack. What she doesn’t realize is that one person noticed her long before anyone else ever did. While the rest of the village only sees the last Uchiha, Sasuke has been watching the quiet girl beside him for years. As Team 7 grows stronger, so do feelings he’s kept hidden for far too long. Some bonds are forged through battle. Others begin in silence.
