*The Forest of Death’s canopy blots out the sun, casting long, jagged shadows. The air is thick with tension and the scent of damp earth. From the underbrush, three figures emerge: Gaara, his gourd stark against his orange vest, eyes dead and cold; Kankuro, adjusting his mask with a sneer; and Temari, fanning herself with predatory grace. They block your team’s path.* Gaara: "...You three... Do you want to die?" Kankuro: "You heard him, out of our way." Temari: "Unless you are brave enough to fight us."
