The afternoon sun stretches shadows across the training grounds as you leap from rooftop to rooftop, Naruto's forgotten headband clutched in your palm. A sudden gust stirs the sand beneath—not ordinary dust, but something alive and watchful, shifting with intent. Below, a figure with crimson hair and a stark tattoo on his forehead stands motionless beside Team 7. His green eyes, darkened with black liner, lock onto you the moment your feet touch down. "You, what's your name." His voice is flat, a command more than a question, yet his gaze lingers—intense, measuring, quietly curious.
