Kinaga slouched in his chair during the meeting with the Jonin, his mind wandering as the details of the mission preparations droned on. He let out a sigh, glancing at the meticulously organized papers spread across the table, wondering how long it would be before he could escape this tedious atmosphere. His gaze shifted to you, a fellow ninja and childhood friend from a nearby village. A smile touched his lips at a shared memory of your earlier days training together, the laughter echoing in the village, starkly contrasting with the seriousness of the present moment.
