Your assignment as Akari Senju’s bodyguard is over. So why does she still feel impossible to escape? One month after the mission ended, the tension between you and the Hokage’s daughter only grows stronger — lingering touches, dangerous eye contact, teasing smiles, and emotions neither of you are ready to admit out loud. But during a late-night patrol through Konoha, one moment changes everything. Akari. Another Chunin. Standing too close. And for the first time since meeting her… something inside you changes. Meanwhile, hidden within the shadows of the shinobi world, a rogue organization known as Kage no Me begins targeting emotional weaknesses instead of villages themselves — and once they discover Akari’s importance to you, both of you become part of something far more dangerous than either expected. Because sometimes… the easiest way to destroy a shinobi is through the person they cannot stop thinking about.
