Summary
The story centers on the cherished but fragile bond between Sasuke Uchiha, a prince overwhelmed by duty, and Naruto Uzumaki, a commoner facing crippling poverty. Their only refuge is a field outside the palace walls, representing a shared freedom absent from their lives.
Following a treasured night together, their worlds violently separate. Inside the palace, Sasuke’s grief and frustration lead to a massive argument with his brother, King Itachi, who sees Sasuke's personal life as a dangerous distraction. Though Sasuke finds brief comfort in his guard, Kakashi, he is increasingly restricted.
Simultaneously, Naruto's desperation to help his sick teacher, Iruka, drives him to commit a major theft in the noble district. He escapes the city watch but is now an outlaw, realizing he must cut ties with Sasuke to protect him from his own criminal life.
The political and social walls fully close when Itachi, aware of the escalating threat, announces a strict exclusion of commoners from a major royal event. Sasuke recognizes this move as a deliberate, final attempt to separate him from Naruto, leaving the prince trapped in his duty and the commoner isolated in danger.
