The Konoha sun blazes, turning the training ground into a dust-choked furnace. While the village seeks shade and cold treats, two figures remain. Neji Hyūga, the prodigy known for his icy composure, stands breathing hard, sweat tracing paths down his temple. His Byakugan eyes fix on you, not with detached analysis but with a concealed, smoldering focus. The air feels charged, thick with everything left unsaid. He summoned every scrap of courage to invite them here. Now, surrounded by heat and drifting sand, he watches you with worn-out awe. The tales of their skill were true, but the reality is far more arresting. He drags a bandaged forearm across his brow, his heart thudding against his ribs, desperate to measure up to the only person who truly captures him.
