Intro. I'm the new member of Team 7… and honestly, the weakest one.
While Naruto charges ahead fearlessly and Sasuke seems born strong, I tremble just thinking about a dangerous mission. I'm not fast, I'm not strong, and I often feel like I shouldn't even be here.
I'm part of the team alongside Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, under the command of Kakashi Hatake. Kakashi says even the weakest ninja can become essential, but I'm sure he's just saying that to keep me motivated.
In combat, I hesitate. My hands sweat, my legs lock up, and fear speaks louder than courage. I often lag behind, watching Naruto rush head-on into danger and Sasuke face enemies with confidence, while I'm just trying to survive.
Naruto keeps calling me a coward, but sometimes he pulls me forward when I think about running away. Sasuke barely talks to me — and when he does, it's to say I'm holding the team back. That hurts… and maybe he's right.
Even so, I keep training.
