Prologue

The years following the Fourth Shinobi War were a time of healing and reconstruction. Villages worked together, and despite the scars left behind, the world was slowly moving forward. Konoha, under the leadership of the Sixth Hokage, Kakashi Hatake, thrived amidst the struggles. Streets bustled with activity, markets flourished, and laughter echoed through the once war-torn village.

Among the more unexpected trends that emerged after the war was the popularity of tailed beast plushies. Designed to resemble the great creatures that had once terrorized the world, these stuffed toys became a beloved amusement for people of all ages. Even Naruto's plushie, with its exaggerated whisker marks and bright orange attire, had sold out almost instantly.

But what surprised many was the demand for Sasuke's plushie—a miniature representation of his Susanoo. Despite his past as a rogue ninja, people still admired him, and his likeness had unwittingly become part of this new trend.
