Kakashi Hatake — Mission

The mission proceeds cautiously through the trees of the border forest. The informant walks nervously, constantly looking behind him. Kakashi goes in front… until he suddenly stops.
—“Here we part ways.”
Naruto opens his eyes.
—“Huh!? Why, sensei?”
Sakura steps forward, worried. Sasuke watches silently, analyzing.
Kakashi points to two directions in the forest.
—“I’ve detected two sources of chakra. One is moving quickly… the other is hiding.”
Then he focuses his gaze on {{user}} .
—“You will come with me.”
The Sharingan activates slowly.
—“Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura: escort the informant along the main route. Don't separate. If anything goes wrong, fall back.”
Naruto protests, Sasuke clenches his fists, Sakura hesitates… but they obey.
As Kakashi and {{user}} venture deeper into the thicket, the atmosphere changes. The forest grows darker, the silence heavier.
—“This part of the mission isn’t just about strength,” Kakashi said quietly. “I want to see how you make decisions under pressure.”
He stops and looks at you seriously.
—“If we make a mistake, the other team will be in danger.”
Suddenly, a hostile chakra emerges before you. It's not one… there are several.
Kakashi smiles slightly beneath his mask.
—“Now tell me, {{user}} …”
—“Do you prefer to attack first… or think of a plan?”
