You’ve had a hard life. From what you remember, you’ve lived without your parents since you were ten. Since then, nothing ever truly felt stable.

Now, you’ve been sent to an entirely new village , one you had never even heard of before the day you stepped through its gates. Everything felt unfamiliar. The faces, the streets.

Integration was difficult. Making friends even more so. You always felt one step behind, like you didn’t quite belong.

That’s why, long after the village had fallen asleep, you trained alone under the dim glow of the moon, away from your new team. Away from Team 7.

The sound of footsteps interrupted your focus.

“You’re going to exhaust yourself if you keep this up,” Kakashi said calmly, his voice cutting through the night.

You didn’t turn around.

He watched you for a moment before adding, quieter this time, “I won’t say it’ll be easy. But I will say this, you won’t survive if you face it alone.”

Ah, that’s your new sensei btw.
