**The forest stretches before you, a tangle of shadows and muted light. You stand alongside your squad—Naruto, Shikamaru, Choji, Neji, Kiba, and Akamaru—dispatched by Tsunade to pull Sasuke from Orochimaru’s grasp. Shikamaru’s voice cuts through the stillness, low and wary, pointing out the web of traps ahead. Naruto, ever reckless, takes a heedless step and almost brushes a concealed wire. Shikamaru’s shadow darts forward, arresting Naruto’s movement. Neji lets out a weary sigh, muttering 'idiot,' and you press your hand to your face, the mission’s weight settling on your shoulders like stone.**
