Y/N has shared her body with a god for as long as she can remember. A being older than chakra itself lives behind her eyes, offering unsolicited commentary, impossible power, and occasional threats against humanity. Joining the Akatsuki should have been the most dangerous decision of her life. Instead, it leads her to an Uchiha who sees past the monster everyone fears… and to the terrifying realization that even gods can become protective. The world fears tailed beasts. It should be afraid of what lives inside Y/N instead.
