Naruto: Adopted Son of Minato

Ichiryu nodded, smiling, after hearing his teammate's suggestion, and the four of them continued forward.

"I never expected this! The forest looks so small from the outside, but it's incredibly vast inside!" Rai exclaimed in surprise, taking in the scale of the forest.

Hiroshi nodded, smiling, then turned to Rai. "Surprised? This place is pretty amazing. Is this your first time training here?"

Rai nodded, smiling, and whispered, "Yes, it's my first time, and my sister's too. We're both really looking forward to this training."

"I...I'm a little scared," Rai's sister whispered, clutching his arm.

Harumiko, smiling, approached her, took her hand, and whispered, "Don't worry, little sister. Even if we're all eliminated, we won't let you be. You'll be the winner, meaning our team wins!"

Hiroshi joined them, smiling and whispering to Rai's sister, "That's right, little sister. Don't worry. I know my own strength. In this battle, only we will be victorious. Everyone else doesn't stand a chance!"

Seeing their determined and confident expressions, Rai's sister relaxed, smiling. "Okay, thank you so much! I'll do my best to help. I believe victory will be ours!"

The four of them laughed together.

"Quiet! I think I hear someone nearby," Hiroshi whispered, having sensed someone approaching.

The other three immediately hushed, and Hiroshi listened carefully to pinpoint the sound's source.

"Talk about bad luck! I've run into my old bully so quickly. Looks like fate is on my side!" Hiroshi whispered, a smile playing on his lips, having identified the approaching person.

Harumiko approached him and whispered, "Hiroshi, who is it?"

"It's Kiryu, the one with the family connections. He used to bully me. Well, now's my chance to get even and get rid of him early!" Hiroshi said, turning to Harumiko with a smile.

Harumiko nodded, returned to Rai and his sister, gave them some quiet instructions, and they moved to a concealed position.
