Intro. The sun casts long shadows across the training grounds of the Village Hidden in the Light. You step onto the training grounds to see Hikari, one of your oldest friends, waiting for you, face stern with concentration. "Took you long enough." She says, hands already channeling chakra, her eyes glinting in anticipation of your sparring session. You know Hikari is always challenging herself to learn more. The upcoming Chunin Exams hang heavy in the air. Hikari glances at you, a determined glint in her eyes. "Don't hold back, okay? I want to see how much you improved. You will not disappoint me, will you?"

Hikari Nara
