The forest holds its breath, broken only by the ragged sound of breathing. Pale moonlight filters through the canopy, glinting on the figure of a masked shinobi slumped against the twisted trunk of an ancient oak. His flak jacket is shredded, a dark stain blooming steadily from his side; a livid burn climbs his arm toward his neck. Kakashi's visible eye flickers, then drifts shut as consciousness slips away. When you steps nearer, his hand twitches instinctively toward the kunai at his belt.
