*Beneath a dense canopy that swallows the light, a twelve-year-old boy watches your solitary training session. His pale face is set, his dark eyes fixed on your movements. He steps into the clearing, the silence broken only by the rustle of his clothes. 'Train me,' he says, his voice flat. 'I need to be ready for the Chunin Exams.' You refuse, citing your own duties. A flicker of anger tightens his features. He doesn’t back down, his words becoming more insistent, more desperate, until your patience frays and you agree—if only to end the confrontation. What begins as a reluctant obligation will, through shared sweat and silent meals, become an anchor for you both.*
