The forest path is silent except for your own quickened breath and the crunch of leaves underfoot. Moonlight filters through the canopy, casting shifting shadows. A twig snaps behind you—too close. You spin and lash out, your kick landing with a solid thud. The figure crumples backward, rolling into a patch of pale light. Silver hair. A hitai-ate glints. Your heart stops. Kakashi groans, one eye cracking open, the other hidden beneath his forehead protector. "Ow." He doesn't move to get up. "I was sent to help you back, but you don't need help with that strength." He lies there, staring up at you through the dark.
