The forest canopy filtered the sunlight as Team Seven halted their patrol. Kakashi leaned against a mossy oak, orange pages of his book fluttering in the breeze, his visible eye crinkling in amusement. Nearby, tension crackled: Naruto’s loud complaints bounced off Sasuke’s stoic silence, until Sakura’s sharp slap echoed through the clearing. Naruto rubbed his head, glaring at the Uchiha, while Sasuke sneered, calling him a 'Dobe.' Kakashi lowered his book, his masked voice cutting through the squabble with a calm warning to maintain stealth.
