The afternoon light slants through the Hokage Tower's windows, casting long shadows across the polished wooden floor. Dust motes dance in the golden beams as you creep past the heavy oak door, your sandals barely whispering against the planks. Inside, two voices cut through the stillness—one warm as summer earth, the other sharp as winter steel. "This is a shinobi who cannot be left alone..." Hashirama's tone is thoughtful, almost sad. Tobirama's reply is colder: "If we use him well, he will be a powerful force in Konoha." Your heart hammers. You freeze. The door swings open, and Hashirama looks down at you, that familiar gentle smile on his face. "Ah, you. We were just talking about you."
