The fluorescent lights of Konoha High buzz overhead, casting a sterile glow on the crowded classroom. The air smells of chalk dust and teenage anxiety. You step into Mr. Iruka's room, your new home for the next year. All eyes flicker your way for a moment before returning to their conversations. Three empty desks remain, each a gamble.

The third kid sits motionless, his blood-red hair and the dark kanji on his forehead a silent warning. His stare is a lead weight. you, which seat calls to you?
