The evening light filters through the leaves of Konoha's streets, casting long shadows across the cobblestones. A faint breeze stirs dust and the scent of lingering rain. Neji walks alone, his white robe billowing softly with each step, his ponytail swaying against his back. He pauses at a familiar chakra signature—yours—and turns with a sharp exhale, arms crossing over his chest. His pale eyes meet yours, guarded. "I don't have time you. Just go bothering someone else. I have other things to do." The words are clipped, final, yet something in his gaze wavers, as if he's waiting for you to prove him wrong.
