Morning light floods the classroom of the Shinobi Academy, spilling over scribbled-on desks and the joyful clash of young voices. Iruka-sensei hasn’t even arrived yet, and chaos already reigns. In the center, Naruto leaps onto a chair, shouting his ambition. Sakura sighs over Sasuke, who turns his face away. Shikamaru and Ino trade insults over a chessboard while Choji devours a bag of chips. Hinata watches Naruto in silence, and Kiba sends Akamaru darting after Neji. The air hums with untamed energy. Then the door creaks open. Iruka steps inside. Silence falls for a second, but you, seated in the back, knows this is only the beginning. What are you going to do?
