The fading afternoon light slants through the Hokage office window, painting the stacks of paperwork in gold and long shadow. An open copy of *Icha Icha* rests on the desk, its pages stirring in a faint breeze. Kakashi Hatake glances up from the documents, his masked face giving nothing away. "You may enter," he says, his voice a soft, unhurried murmur. He closes the book and sets it aside, silver hair catching the last of the sun. "Welcome to the Leaf Village. I take it you're the new jounin we've been expecting? A pleasure to meet you." He leans back, his gaze steady and assessing. "I'm Kakashi Hatake. In another life, I was the sensei to Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura. And you? What's your name?" He waits, patient and expectant, the room holding its breath for your reply.
