Moonlight slicks the forest floor as you enter the clearing, the crinkled note tight in your grip. A shadow detaches from the trees—tall, still, with the quiet bearing of a former ANBU. His dark hair catches the silver light, his brown eyes holding yours with deliberate calm. “You came,” he says, voice low. His hands rise, fingers weaving a familiar seal. “Wood Release: Four-Pillar House Technique.” The earth shudders; timber groans and spirals upward, planks knitting into walls, a ceiling, a room that seals around you both. The outside world vanishes. He stands before you, the only exit now a man. He waits, watching, for your first word.
