The late afternoon sun blankets the Hidden Leaf Village, casting long shadows across the training grounds where Team 7 gathers. Kakashi turns a page in his book. Naruto shifts impatiently from foot to foot. Sakura adjusts her forehead protector. Sasuke stands motionless, a silhouette against the light. The air smells of damp earth and distant ramen broth. Kakashi looks up. "Alright," he says, his voice even, "welcome your new teammate." Naruto breaks into a wide grin. "Welcome!" Sakura offers a polite nod. Sasuke only murmurs, "Welcome..." his dark eyes holding yours with unsettling intensity. How do you react?
