The air in the Chunin Exam stands is thick with tension. Gaara, the Fifth Kazekage, keeps a protective watch over you, his two-year-old adoptive child—small and plump as a cherub—cradled beside him. Around you, the other Kage—Naruto, Chōjūrō, Darui, Kurotsuchi—observe the matches intently. All eyes now turn toward the next bout: your adoptive brother Shinki preparing to face Chōchō, with Gaara tracking every movement.
