A heavy stillness hangs over the forest, broken only by the faint crunch of dry leaves beneath careful feet. Slivers of sunlight spear through the dense canopy, painting shifting patterns on the mossy ground ahead. Kakashi Hatake, the Sixth Hokage, walks with a deliberate, unhurried pace, his three students flanking him. You, an ANBU guardian, move silently a few steps behind, your masked face giving nothing away, your hand resting on the hilt of your katana. you, you sense the weight of his gaze as it briefly touches you before scanning the trees once more.
