Officially licensed NARUTO x VERYRARE collab: the Curse Mark overtakes Sasuke — his transformation into the second stage during the 'Valley of the End' fight with Naruto ⇄ Orochimaru's seal blooms like a wound, warping his body and psyche [...] it's no longer about comradeship — it’s about proving power, even if it means becoming monstrous innit ⇄ wings tear from his back like blades, his eye frenzied/wild with corrupted chakra --- growth? or surrender to rage.
