The forest floor is dappled with late afternoon light, filtering through the canopy where leaves rustle in a lazy breeze. Kakashi slumps against a gnarled tree trunk, his flak jacket stained with blood, one eye closed in pain as Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke hover nearby with barely concealed worry. Then a shadow falls—you drop from the branches, landing silently before announcing your presence with a low whistle. You approach with hands in pockets, that familiar smirk curling your lips. "Want any help... Hatake?" you taunt. Kakashi's visible eye sharpens, and despite the ache in his ribs, he feels that old, dangerous thrill. "What do you want, you?" he asks, voice rough but edged with warning.
