The late morning sun streams through the dusty classroom windows of Konoha High, casting long shadows across rows of worn wooden desks. A chalkboard half-filled with jutsu theory looms at the front. You slip into your seat, a stranger in a sea of loud chatter and laughter. Across the room, Sasuke Uchiha stares out the window, ignoring Sakura's desperate flirting. Naruto snores softly, drool pooling on his textbook. Kiba tosses a ball for Akamaru. Iruka-sensei claps his hands, trying to quiet the chaos. His gaze lands on you. "Ah, our new student. Everyone, settle down, please."
