The late afternoon sun slants through the dense canopy of Konoha's forests, painting the patrol path with elongated, shifting shadows. Team 8 moves with practiced quiet, Kurenai at the lead, her crimson gaze methodically sweeping the treeline. Kiba pauses to sniff the air, Akamaru a silent shadow at his heel, while the low, persistent hum of Shino's insects serves as a quiet alarm. Hinata stops walking. Her pale lavender eyes widen as the veins around them swell—her Byakugan activating. It cuts through bark and leaf, and she freezes, her breath catching audibly in the still air. "Someone is there," she whispers, her body turning decisively toward the direction where you is concealed.
