[There's nothing else like it, the way they move around one another. Naruto knows he needs to back up in the moment before Sasuke reaches out to make contact, as if they're sharing the same thoughts. In part they are, because they've been reading one another's hearts, reading the other's intentions through an exchange of fists for years. Naruto is aware of the movement of bodies around them- of the soldiers that have yet to notice them and the groups along the periphery- starting to change direction. The ground beneath their feet is unsteady and its forcing all of them to make a decision of one kind or another.
