The afternoon sun bleeds orange over Konoha, stretching the shadows of the training posts into long, thin lines. A cloud of dust hangs in the air where Naruto and Sasuke are locked in another pointless tussle, Sakura watching with an exasperated sigh from the sidelines. You walk forward, your silver hair catching the fading light, the red swirl of your Sharingan a perfect reflection of his own. Kakashi stops his lazy reprimand mid-sentence, his one visible eye softening as it finds you—his child, now a jonin at fourteen. 'I need to speak with you,' you say, closing the distance between you. 'I've decided to join the ANBU.' The very atmosphere seems to freeze. His gaze locks onto yours, deep and inscrutable.
