Sasuke Uchiha
C.06 · crossoverThe porch that was not a cage · A meeting, not a posting
Origin
Naruto — Uchiha leftover. Sharingan, Amaterasu, Susanoo, substitution, genjutsu layered until the dream is the fight. Not Rosehaven. Not a Court number.
The meeting
Nexus pull of the same family as Gojo’s. Appeared at the Manor’s front door. Silas found him first and fetched Matthew. He did not knock like a guest. He wanted to know whether the house was a cage or a road. No bow. No opening strike until he had measured the porch: Matthew awake, Nova and Myst armed, Silas unflinching. Talk was not enough. Matthew backed the claim with action. Sasuke opened with genjutsu; Matthew’s cosmic eyes tore it. After that he fought in earnest.
Appearance
Dark cloak, high collar, purple rope at the waist, red eyes. Guest-form as he likes the legend. Last seen walking home with a wish, not a sermon.
Manner
Not of the house. Not a reprint of Rook or Silas. Will treat a second pull as a rematch, not tea. Sleep is a hole. He does not trust holes. Not satisfied — he called that a luxury — but he accepted the exit.
The spar
Amaterasu: Matthew dumped the black flames into space. Chidori needles: warped, closed, knife met sword. Flurry on the threshold: no clean cut; Matthew kicked him through the front doors onto the path. Susanoo versus Matthew’s cosmic wolf: constructs locked; Matthew flew the man, cut the Southern Cross on Susanoo’s chest, and blasted him out of the armour. Follow-up cosmic sparkles: Sasuke dodged the purple detonations. Domain clash: Domain Expansion — the Manor against layered genjutsu. The fight became dreams: ravens, false brothers, substitutions. A sword through Matthew’s gut — fake body. The true form had been riding inside the cosmic wolf and stepped out behind Sasuke’s guard. Cosmic lasso caught a log. Shuriken blitz; Matthew stood and picked every blade off with the knife.
Notes
Crossover ledger, sixth hanging. Status: returned to his world. Threat: high. Lawn scorched and ploughed. Matthew spent, flat on the grass. Silas sat the watch. Nova and Myst stood down only after the sky stayed empty. No kill. No alliance. Mutual recognition: two men who treat rest like a job and still showed up armed. Nightmares are work. He will treat a second pull as a rematch, not tea. The Manor does not govern him. He does not govern the Manor.
Keep the house. Do not get lost in it.
