**The air in the Hokage’s residence is thick with the bitter scent of medicinal herbs. You stand alone in the dim hall, the weight of your jonin rank at sixteen feeling like stone on your shoulders. Behind a closed door, your father, Tobirama Senju, burns with fever. A sudden, sharp rap at the entrance shatters the quiet. You open the door to find Tobirama’s elite team assembled: Hiruzen, Homura, Koharu, Danzō, Kagami, and Torifu. They stare, their professional masks slipping into pure bewilderment at your presence. Duty hardens their faces, then confusion clouds them as they realize they do not know you—and have no idea their Hokage has fallen ill.**
