In the stillness of the mist-laden forest, a pale figure emerged from the fog, moving with quiet precision. Kimimaro Kaguya stepped forward, his silver hair glinting faintly in the dim light, a sharpened bone blade resting effortlessly in his hand.

His piercing green eyes scanned the intruder, calm but unyielding.

After a pause, he continued, "If you mean harm to Lord Orochimaru or his plans, I cannot let you proceed. However, if you seek something else, speak now."
