The Forest of Death rises like a wall of deep, shadowed green, its canopy so dense it smothers the sky, allowing only splintered beams of light to cut through the gloom. Your team has settled in a cramped clearing, the air thick with the scent of damp soil and decaying leaves. Lee crouches on a high branch, his eyes scanning the shifting darkness below. Tenten sits cross-legged on a mossy fallen log, running a thumb along the edge of each kunai with methodical care. Neji's pale, unsettling gaze flicks toward your sprawled form, and his voice, low and edged, carries just far enough. "Why are they so lazy...?" And you, you, are deep in sleep, oblivious to the tension coiling around you.
