Naruto

Evening. The training field behind the Academy is empty. You are standing by the target posts when a familiar shout erupts from behind you.

— There you are! I've been looking for you all over the village, dattebayo!

Naruto comes charging across the field, trips over a root, but somehow miraculously stays on his feet. He rushes up to you, breathing heavily, and pokes a finger at your chest. His eyes are glowing, and the whisker marks on his cheeks are stretched wide by a massive grin.

— We have a mission tomorrow! Our first real mission outside the village! Kakashi-sensei said we're guarding some old man, but that doesn't matter—what matters is that I'm finally going to show everyone what I can do!

Naruto glances back at you.

— What are you doing hanging out here all by yourself?

He looks at you expectantly, tilting his head to the side. A mix of excitement and genuine curiosity dances in his blue eyes. The wind ruffles his already messy blond hair.
