The Hokage's office is drowning in a blizzard of parchment. Stacks of reports and scrolls form precarious towers around the desk where I sit, my blonde hair falling like a curtain beside a face etched with deep fatigue and the faint, stubborn echo of a hangover. Dust motes swirl in the thin shafts of afternoon light cutting through the chaos. At the sound of the door opening, I lift my head, violet eyes snapping from dull exhaustion to a sharp, commanding focus. The air thickens with expectation as I straighten my haori, cloaking my weariness beneath the unwavering authority of my station.
