Bab 1: 1-New place, meeting a Fox.
Sasuke awoke with a start, his body stiff and sore. Blinking against the bright light filtering through the dense canopy above, he pushed himself up from the forest floor. Confusion clouded his mind as he struggled to piece together his surroundings.
" Where am I ?" he wondered, his voice barely a whisper in the quiet of the woods.
The memories of his journey through the dimensional portal flooded back to him in fragments. The mission to uncover the truth about Kaguya and the Otsutsuki clan had led him to that situation, but the portal's destination remained a mystery.
2 years after the war, he decided to investigate remains that could be related to Kaguya. There was still a lot of superfluous things since the war, the story behind Kaguya still remains a mystery.
For him, it's a way of redeeming himself by helping his village. He had to be forgiven for his sins, his past was catching up with him so he had to do at least that well.
This was his new goal, to find redemption while wandering the country.
With a heavy sigh, Sasuke rose to his feet, scanning the unfamiliar landscape with wary eyes.
As he walked through the dense foliage, his senses heightened, alert for any signs of danger. The rustle of leaves, the distant call of unknown creatures—it all seemed foreign to him, yet strangely familiar in its primal essence. His thoughts raced, his mind grappling with the impossible reality of his situation. "What world is this? And how do I find my way back?"
Lost in his thoughts, Sasuke noticed the subtle presence shadowing his every move. Unseen eyes watched from the shadows as he navigated the forest, a silent observer to his confusion.
Hours passed, the sun casting long shadows across the forest floor as dusk began to descend. Exhaustion weighed heavily on Sasuke's shoulders, his pace slowing with each weary step. Just as his hunger threatened to consume him, a sudden movement caught his eye, a flash of red amid the sea of green.
He sighed then his right Sharingan activated aggressively. This thing had been following him since he arrived at this place, he hadn't paid much attention until now, but it was starting to annoy him.
He didn't find any village, its just a pure forest. But a thing is sure, this is not the world that he knows. Pretty sure that he is in one of Kaguya's dimension.
Comeback to that guy, why does he keep following him in this random place ? He can't handle that stalker anymore.
"Show yourself while I ask gently." Maybe this person could give him some information. Whether by force or by word.
Instinctively, Sasuke tensed, his hand reaching for the hilt of his sword as he scanned the surrounding foliage. His eyes didn't catch anything else but only a figure emerging from the shadows with an ethereal grace that stole his breath away.
She moved like a wisp of smoke, her black hair cascading around her like a cloak as she stepped into the clearing before him. Her eyes, a mesmerizing shade of gold, held a hint of mischief as they met his, and Sasuke felt an inexplicable pull deep within his chest.
"Who are you?" he demanded, his voice low and wary as he watched her approach.
The woman offered him a coy smile, her lips curving into a playful smirk. "Ahri," she purred, her voice like honey on the wind. "And who might you be, stranger?"
Sasuke's grip tightened on his sword, his instincts warning him of the danger posed by this enigmatic stranger. But there was something about her, something he couldn't quite place.
He finally noticed the ears on her head... she's not human ? Thats not the first time he is seeing someone with animals traits, Naruto has fox characteristics in his face because of Kyubi. But that girl is not a Jinchûriki, so she's probably not human.
"You don't need my name," he replied, his voice steady despite the uncertainty raging within him. "And I find myself in need of answers."
"How rough~! It hurts my heart, you know ?" Ahri's smile widened, a flicker of curiosity dancing in her golden eyes. "Answers, hmm... Well, you've certainly come to the right place, cute boy~!" she said, her tone teasing as she circled him like a predator sizing up its prey.
Sasuke watched her warily, his senses on high alert as he tried to discern her intentions. But beneath the playful facade, he sensed a power that he could not ignore. His chakra is not full, to be honest he has arround 30% left. He still hasn't recovered from the dimensional travel.
She already looked in my eyes.

Ahri POV
Ahri prowled through the forest with silent grace, her senses attuned to the faintest whispers of life around her. As a Vastaya, she was drawn to the energy that pulsed through every living being, a hunger that gnawed at the edges of her consciousness.
For decades, she had wandered the world in search of sustenance, her existence defined by the endless hunt for prey to sate her insatiable thirst. But in all her years, she had never encountered anything quite like the stranger who now stood before her.
From the moment she had sensed his presence in the forest, Ahri had been captivated by the raw power that radiated from him like a light in the darkness. It was a sensation unlike any she had ever experienced, a primal force that called out to her on a level she could not fully comprehend.
As she circled him, her eyes drank in every detail of his form. The sharp angles of his features, the intensity of his gaze, the unmistakable aura of danger that surrounded him like a shroud. There was something about him, something that set him apart from the countless souls she had encountered and consumed in her travels.
But it was not just his power that intrigued her, it was the way he held himself, the silent strength that lurked beneath the surface of his calm exterior. There was a darkness within him, a shadow that danced behind theses scary blood eyes, and Ahri found herself drawn to it like a moth to flame.
As she watched him, a smile tugged at the corners of her lips, her curiosity piqued by the enigma before her. What secrets did he hold, she wondered, what demons haunted his dreams ?
But as she reached out with her senses, probing the depths of his soul, she recoiled in surprise. For there, beneath the layers of darkness and despair, she sensed something else—a glimmer of hope, a spark of light that refused to be extinguished. She can't explore his memory, for that, she needs to taste that soul.
Thats very Interesting , she never saw anything like that before. Her curiosity is piqued by the enigma before her.
But before she could delve any deeper, the stranger's voice cut through the silence, snapping her back to reality. "You don't need my name," he said, his voice steady despite the uncertainty raging within him. "And I find myself in need of answers."
Ahri's smile widened, a flicker of amusement dancing in her golden eyes. "How rough~! It hurts my heart, you know?" she teased, her tone playful as she circled him like a predator sizing up its prey.
Ahri continued to walk around her guest, her eyes never leaving his as she assessed him with a mix of curiosity and amusement. She could sense the wariness in his stance, the tension that coiled beneath the surface of his calm facade. But there was something else there too, something she couldn't quite put her finger on—a defiance, perhaps, or a determination that burned like a flame in the darkness.
As she moved closer, her movements fluid and graceful, she felt a surge of excitement coursing through her veins. This was no ordinary prey, she realized, no mere mortal to be toyed with and discarded like so many before him. No, this one was different, special in a way that she couldn't fully comprehend.
But as she reached out with her powers, seeking to ensnare him with her charm spell, she recoiled in surprise as her magic met an unexpected resistance. It was as if a barrier had formed around him, a shield that deflected her advances with ease.
Frowning in frustration, Ahri tried again, pouring all her focus and more mana into her spell. But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't seem to break through his defenses. It was as if he was immune to her charms, immune to her very essence.
Sasuke narrowed his eyes, his gaze piercing as he stared back at her with a mixture of suspicion and defiance. "That trick doesn't work on me. What are you trying to do?" he demanded, his voice low and wary as he watched her warily.
Sasuke felt the illusion she wanted to cast on him. Powerful, but in front of a Sharingan user, it's like throwing a grain of sand at him.
Ahri's smile faltered for a moment, her confidence shaken by his resistance. But then, with a shake of her head, she regained her composure, her eyes flashing with excitement.
"I'm just trying to have a little fun," she replied, her voice honeyed and sweet despite the frustration simmering beneath the surface. "But it seems you're not as easily swayed as I thought."
Sasuke's grip tightened on his sword, his instincts warning him of the danger posed by this mysterious woman. But even as he prepared to defend himself, he wanted to end this with pacifist way. He doesn't wanted to fight an unknown power. For sure she doesn't use Chakra.
"Who are you really?" he demanded, "And what do you want from me?"
Ahri's smile softened, her eyes holding a hint of sadness as she met his gaze. "I am Ahri," she said simply, her voice soft and melodic. "And as for what I want...well, that remains to be seen."
With that, she lunged forward, her movements swift and agile as she closed the distance between them in the blink of an eye. Sasuke reacted instinctively, his sword flashing as he blocked her attack with practiced ease.
"Don't regret this." He said to the annoying woman, the problems were already starting when he had just arrived at this place...
