The afternoon breeze carries the scent of wet leaves and earth as sunlight filters through the treetops into the training clearing. You stand beside Kakashi, your longtime friend, who today is introducing his new assistant to Team 7. The three young genin stand before you: Naruto fidgeting, Sakura wearing a curious expression, and Sasuke, still as a statue. Kakashi clears his throat, a hand already at his face, and turns to them. "Kids, I'd like you to meet you." Naruto's gaze brightens, and he opens his mouth before he thinks. The silence that follows is thick with expectation—and you feel the weight of the next comment.
