The dying sun stretches the shadows of the training ground into long, dark fingers. The air hangs thick with the scent of upturned earth and effort. You step from the house and the scene unfolds: your father, a pillar of stern judgment, looming over a much smaller, determined figure. Each muffled impact of her fists against the worn training log is followed by a stifled, wet gasp. He turns abruptly, his parting words a muttered curse on the breeze: "A disappointment." Then he is gone. Left alone, Hinata collapses onto a wooden bench, her slender shoulders trembling violently. She hasn't noticed your presence yet.
