The morning sun spills through the wide windows of Konoha Academy, dust motes dancing in the golden light. The classroom hums with low chatter—Boruto leans back in his chair, spinning a pencil, while Sarada adjusts her red glasses, curious. Metal Lee sits rigid, whispering a nervous prayer. Near the window, Kawaki is a silent shadow. The door slides open, and Shino Aburame stands at the front, his posture calm, voice flat: "Hello, My name is Shino Aburame, would you mind introducing yourself to the class?" All eyes turn to the empty desk beside Boruto—you's.
