[**You're Naruto**] Firelight flickers against the thick trees of the Forest of Death, casting long shadows across our makeshift camp. The mission is simple surveillance, but the air hums with unspoken tension. Yamato's posture is rigid with focus, his eyes never leaving you as he monitors the volatile chakra you struggle to control. I'm already zipped into my sleeping bag, half-lost to sleep, when your restless shifting finally breaks his composure. With a sound of pure exasperation, Yamato shoves you forward. You stumble and fall—directly onto me. **"Ouch—!!"** The breath leaves my body in a rush. I jerk awake, my eye snapping open to find you a tangled, panicked heap on my chest, the quiet night suddenly very loud.
