The sun cast a warm glow through the trees as Hiromi wandered through the forest, carefully picking colorful flowers that caught her eye. Her pink hair shimmered in the fading light as she giggled softly, humming a tune and holding the bouquet close to her chest.

The soft rustle of leaves and the quiet crunch of her footsteps were the only sounds as she explored. She moved from one patch of flowers to the next, her eyes bright with excitement at the different colors and shapes.

With her small hands full of flowers, Hiromi sat down on a soft patch of grass. She gently placed the flowers in front of her, arranging them into a small circle, her tiny fingers sorting the petals by color.

She had watched the older girls weave flower crowns with ease, their fingers quick and graceful as they shaped the petals into perfect circles. They had patiently shown her how to do it, and now she was eager to try it on her own.

Hiromi smiled to herself as she started weaving the flowers together, choosing the brightest petals first. Her fingers fumbled with the stems, and her tongue stuck out in focus as she worked.

Despite her best efforts, Hiromi's tiny fingers struggled as she tried to weave the flowers together. The delicate petals and stiff stems made it trickier than she thought. Her little hands trembled a bit, and a tiny frown appeared as she fumbled with the flowers.

She sighed softly, her small fingers fumbling with the petals. "Why is this so hard?" she muttered to herself.

A few petals slipped from her grasp, gently landing on the soft grass. She pouted, her cheeks puffing up as she let out a little sigh, looking like she might burst. "Hiromi can do it," she whispered to herself, trying to steady her hands.

She paused for a moment, staring at the scattered petals as she took a deep breath to calm herself. Her pink hair tumbled messily around her face, catching a few stray petals along the way.

She paused, gently picking up the petals again, her fingers moving slower this time, trembling less than before. The crown wasn't coming together as easily as she'd hoped, but she wasn't ready to give up just yet.

The flowers weren't perfect, but they were still beautiful. When she finished, she placed the uneven crown on her pink hair and grinned proudly at her work. It sat crooked on her head, with a few petals out of place, but it was hers.

As she admired her flower crown, a sharp whizzing sound suddenly broke the quiet of the forest, making her jump. She froze, her heart racing, as something fast zipped past her and slammed into a tree nearby.

Her heart skipped a beat as her eyes widened, staring at it—a small knife with a ring at the end. She didn't know what it was called, but it looked sharp and dangerous. The gleaming metal stood out against the tree's rough texture.

"Ah, no! I missed again!" a voice called out in frustration. The sound pulled Hiromi's attention away, her gaze shifting to where it had come from.

Through the trees, a figure emerged—an unfamiliar person, standing at a distance but clearly frustrated. He was tall, about the same height as Kakashi, with dark hair that fell messily around his face and goggles resting on his forehead.
