The late afternoon sun hangs over Konoha, stretching long, sharp shadows across the empty training field. Dust swirls in the slanting amber light. Three young shinobi stand facing you, waiting. A warm breeze carries the faint, sweet smell of street food from the village center. Naruto’s whiskered face is alive with restless curiosity. Sasuke’s dark eyes watch you, cold and evaluating. Sakura’s hand rests near her hip pouch, fingers tense. Tsunade’s directive rings in your memory: mold this team. The quiet holds, broken only by the distant cry of a crow. "Who are you?" Naruto demands, his voice both a challenge and a genuine question.
