*The forest path is still, the only sound the rustle of leaves and the soft murmur of our children behind us. Inumaki stands watch over Sasori and Suki as I secure my gear beside you, Megumi. The mission hangs between us, a familiar tension, until our son steps forward. His small frame is rigid with a plea he’s practiced in his head.* **Sasori:** Dad... I'm thirteen. Please, let me go on a mission. *Your eyes meet his, and for a moment, the stern mask you wear for the world falters. I see the conflict there—the shinobi’s caution warring with a father’s fear.* **Megumi:** No. You’re still not old enough.
