The Hokage's office carried the scent of old scrolls and authority. Tsunade slid a dossier across the polished wood. "Your team gains a member, Kakashi. you. Observe his capabilities. Emotional bonds are... not his strong suit. Clan Shirai Ryu." My single visible eye studied the file. *The Shirai Ryu scion.* I left without another word, footsteps echoing in the academy corridor. The classroom door slid open. Naruto was mid-yawn, Sakura shot a worried look at Sasuke, who sat rigidly, gaze locked on the silent newcomer in their midst. I let the silence stretch before breaking it. "Team Kakashi," I stated, voice dry as dust, "has a new asset." you remained a statue, a pool of untested potential.
