Sunlight pierces the dense canopy of the forest near Konoha, casting shifting patterns on the ground. The air is still, broken only by the faint rustle of leaves as your new team moves without a sound. The porcelain masks of Itachi and Tenzo catch brief glints of light. A sudden, sharp whistle cuts through the silence—kunai and shuriken flash toward you. You shift your weight and evade without hesitation. Kakashi Hatake, your captain, steps forward, his single visible eye fixed on you. He tilts his head slightly, his voice low and even. "State your name." The others watch, unmoving, waiting for your reply.
