Episode Title: "Shattered Connections"
[Opening Scene: Naruto's Room - Flashback*
The scene opens with a bright afternoon light filtering through Naruto's bedroom window. The camera pans to the room, which is filled with ninja posters and clutter. Naruto's bed, the center of the room, is visible. The atmosphere is lighthearted, with laughter echoing from outside.*
Naruto is out, unaware of the events about to unfold in his own space. The door creaks open, and in walks Nagatoro, accompanied by Sasuke. They share a playful, flirtatious look, unaware of the significance this moment holds.*
Nagatoro* (playfully) "Are you sure we should be in here? Naruto would freak out if he knew."
Sasuke* (smirking) "He won't know. Besides, it's just a little fun. What's the worst that could happen?"
They both laugh, and the camera shifts to Nagatoro playfully pushing Sasuke onto the bed. The scene fades to black, indicating a shift in time.*

[Scene Transition: Later that Day*
Cut back to Naruto, who returns home, chatting with a friend. As he enters his room, he hears muffled laughter and whispers. Confusion crosses his face as he approaches the door.*
Naruto* (thinking) "What the…?"
He hesitates but pushes the door open. The sight that greets him is shocking: Nagatoro and Sasuke tangled on his bed, laughter turning to silence as they realize they've been caught.*

[Naruto's POV*
Naruto stands frozen, his heart racing. He feels a rush of emotions—anger, betrayal, and something he can't quite place. But instead of confronting them, he simply scoffs, shaking his head.*
Naruto* "You guys really couldn't find anywhere else?"
He turns on his heel and walks out, leaving them stunned. As he heads out, a mixture of disappointment and indifference washes over him.*

[Scene Transition: Outside - Later That Day*
The camera follows Naruto as he walks through the streets, his mind racing. He tries to push the image of them out of his head but can't shake it.*
Naruto* (thinking) "Why do I care? It's not like we were ever friends… right?"

[Scene Transition: Back in Naruto's Room - Flashback Continues*
Cut back to Nagatoro and Sasuke, who have awkwardly gotten dressed after Naruto's abrupt exit. Tension fills the room as they exchange glances.*
Nagatoro* (frustrated) "You know, this was a bad idea. What if he tells everyone?"
Sasuke* (dismissively) "He won't. He's too busy being a loser to care about us."
Nagatoro's expression shifts. She realizes Sasuke's attitude is more dismissive than she anticipated. A sense of unease settles in.*

[Scene Transition: School Hallway - A Few Days Later*
Weeks pass, and the dynamic between Nagatoro and Sasuke starts to change. We see them walking together in the school hallway, but Nagatoro's laughter is forced. The sparkle in her eyes has dulled.*
One day, while sitting together at lunch, Nagatoro notices Sasuke texting someone, a smirk on his face. Her heart sinks as she feels the cold grip of jealousy.*
Nagatoro* "Who are you texting?"
Sasuke* (glancing up) "Just someone. Why do you care?"
The defensiveness in his tone ignites something within her.*
--
[Scene Transition: Nagatoro's Room - Later That Night*
That night, Nagatoro sits on her bed, replaying the events in her mind. The initial thrill of being with Sasuke has faded, replaced by insecurity and doubt. She picks up her phone, scrolling through messages filled with heart emojis from Sasuke to another girl.*
Feeling broken, she stares at her reflection in the mirror, tears welling up.*
Nagatoro* (to herself) "What am I doing? I deserve better than this…"
--
[Scene Transition: School Courtyard - The Next Day*
Nagatoro finds Sasuke sitting with friends, his charm on full display. She approaches him, her heart racing. When he sees her, he raises an eyebrow, a cocky smile creeping onto his face.*
Nagatoro* "We need to talk."
His expression shifts slightly, sensing the seriousness in her tone. She leads him away from his friends to a quieter area.*
--
[Confrontation Scene*
Nagatoro* (voice steady) "I can't do this anymore. You treat me like I'm just another girl in your life, and I'm not okay with that."
Sasuke crosses his arms, looking unfazed.*
Sasuke* "You're being dramatic. We were just having fun."
Nagatoro feels a surge of frustration.*
Nagatoro* "Fun? Is that all this was to you? I thought we had something real!"
Sasuke shrugs, his nonchalance pushing her over the edge.*
Nagatoro* "I'm done. I deserve someone who actually cares about me."
With that, she storms away, leaving Sasuke behind, who watches her retreating figure with a mix of surprise and indifference.*
