A/N: Katsuro would look like this

Emerald Forest

In the heart of the Emerald Forest, Beacon Academy's newest candidates stood atop their individual launch pads, each poised for the challenges that awaited.

The early morning mist hung low, a curtain that masked the forest's mysteries and dangers. Rows of students looked ahead, adrenaline pumping as they mentally prepared for what lay ahead.

Sasuke Rose stood at the edge of the cliff overseeing the students, his eyes focused yet calm.

Next to him was his assistant and cousin, Hana Uchiha, who stood tall, hands clasped with a steady composure, though her gaze was bright with excitement. She leaned slightly toward Sarada, giving her cousin a quick, encouraging whisper.

"You've got this!" Hana whispered.

Sarada gave a quick, confident nod, her face lighting up with a mix of thrill and determination.

She had spent her life preparing for this-countless hours of training, pushing herself to the limit-all for this moment.

Sasuke stepped forward, his gaze sweeping over the assembled trainees. He took a breath, projecting his voice so it carried over the murmurs and whispers.

"Welcome, aspiring Huntsmen and Huntresses," he began, his voice clear and steady. "Today marks the beginning of your journey not just as warriors but as protectors of this world. Each of you has trained, endured, and prepared for this day. The initiation you're about to undertake will test every skill you possess, your willpower, your instincts, and your unity."

He paused, allowing his words to settle into the hearts of the students, the weight of his presence a reminder of what they were here to achieve.

"As you descend into the Emerald Forest, remember that you are not just here to fight and survive. You are here to prove that you can protect others, even when the odds seem insurmountable. Remember the values that brought you here, the courage and resilience that you carry. This initiation is not simply a test of your strength but of your purpose."

Hana listened intently, a small smile on her face as she absorbed the gravity of her cousin's words. To stand beside someone like Sasuke-someone who had walked through countless trials himself and emerged stronger each time-was a privilege.

She could feel the silent respect among the students as they took in his words.

Sasuke's eyes flicked toward Sarada and Katsuro momentarily, his gaze softening ever so slightly, though his voice remained firm as he continued. "When you launch, you'll find your first teammate, the one you encounter first in the forest. Fight beside them, rely on one another, and face whatever challenges come your way as a team. Strength alone is fleeting. It's the bonds we forge, the trust we build, that allow us to endure."

A hush fell over the students, each of them processing the weight of his message. With a nod, Sasuke gave a final, parting instruction.

"Prepare yourselves, both in mind and in spirit. Your main purpose is for all of you to collaborate You have what it takes to rise, to protect, and to become. Let this initiation be the first step on your path to greatness."

He stepped back, signaling Hana to begin the sequence.

"Everyone, brace for launch!" Hana called, her voice clear and energized as she signaled the countdown.

Sarada took a deep breath, steadying herself as her launch pad whirred to life, her heart racing with the thrill of the unknown.

Next to her, Katsuro stood silent, his composure steady and confident as he prepared to leap into the adventure ahead.
