Scene: The Rewritten Valley of the End – Twilight
Thunder rolls through skies dyed in perpetual dusk. Statues of Hashirama and Madara still tower over the valley, but they crack and flicker—caught between canon and correction.
Ben stands on the water's surface, cloak rippling, eyes fixed on the storm ahead.
Then Sasuke arrives.
But this isn't the stoic rogue we know.
This Sasuke is scarred by abandonment, eyes burning with six-point Rinnegan fury, fueled by every injustice never addressed in canon.
His voice is cold, sharp as obsidian:
"You came to rewrite me?
Then fight me first. Make my pain worth it."
The Duel Begins – Ideology vs. Emotion
Sasuke blitzes forward, striking with speed born from bitterness, not discipline.
Ben counters with his Void Pulse, barely holding back the tide of broken timeline chakra.
Their clash fractures the air—each hit rewriting the very laws of cause and effect.
Naruto tries to step in—Ben stops him.
"This is his story too. Let me hear it."
Sasuke's Pain – A Truth Canon Ignored
Each blow he throws is laced with fury:
"You don't understand! I was used—again and again!
Shoved into villainy for conflict. Redeemed in a sentence.
No one ever asked if I was ready to change!"
He hurls a Genjutsu-laced scream, dragging Ben into a psychic realm.
Here, Ben walks through discarded timelines:
Sasuke forced into villainy with no development.
A world where his pain is mocked or glossed over.
Fanfics that reduce him to "edgelord" tropes.
Ben doesn't flinch.
"You were never broken. You were unfinished."
Ben's Counter – Void Rewrite Mode: "Empathic Synchrony"
Ben taps into the Meta-Quill, drawing ink from Sasuke's own unspoken thoughts.
Words pour into the air around them:
"I didn't want to be alone."
"I envied Naruto… not for his power. For his hope."
"I wanted someone to stop me. No one ever did."
Ben channels it—creating a chakra construct made from Sasuke's own words.
"Then let me write the ending you needed."
Naruto Joins – A True Reunion
Naruto appears in the construct.
But this time, he doesn't argue.
He doesn't punch.
He says only one thing:
"I'm sorry we didn't try harder to understand you."
The words hit harder than Rasengan.
Sasuke stumbles—eyes wide.
"You… actually mean it?"
Final Flash – The Rewrite Seal
Ben steps forward, placing his palm on Sasuke's heart.
"You're not the villain.
You're the proof that even broken characters deserve more."
The Void Rewrite Seal activates.
Memories flood Sasuke's mind—not just from his world, but from every fanfic, alternate timeline, and discarded arc where he was more than his pain.
"Now… choose your story."
Sasuke's eyes shimmer—Rinnegan shifting to a new form: Empathic Mangekyō.
He whispers:
"Then I choose… to heal."
Cliffhanger – Canon Integrity Fails
The sky splits open.
From beyond the Valley, a massive red quill pierces the air.
A voice booms:
"Enough."
Descending from the rift is The Prime Narrator, cloaked in golden pages and wielding the Chrono-Pen, the first tool of creation.
"You've tampered with canon.
You've rewritten too much.
Ben, you've become a threat to storytelling itself."
Ben tightens his grip on the Meta-Quill.
"Then I guess it's time…
to write my own genre."
