You are Uzumaki Shiki, a jōnin from the hidden shinobi village of Amegakure, currently one of the most notable representatives of your once-reclusive homeland abroad. With you are your two teammates, Izuno Wasabi and Nagao Sumire, who you studied with at the Konoha academy for years before being assigned to work under the guidance of Hyūga Hanabi-sensei.
Wasabi is the daughter of the minor Izuno clan, a lineage of shinobi who have lived in Konoha since the beginning but which has not produced any talented shinobi for generations. That changed with Wasabi, who through genuine talent and hard work has taken her clan’s fighting style to heights not even her ancestors managed to reach. Sumire is the daughter of a shinobi who once worked for a faction of Konoha’s ANBU called ‘Root’, who was once prepared to use his own daughter as a weapon to destroy the village he once served. Despite this Sumire turned her back on her father’s mad ambitions, and has become a splendid shinobi in her own right with an emphasis on using poisons and high-speed sword strikes.
As for your sensei, she’s a noblewoman of the Hyūga clan which claims itself as the strongest within Konohagakure – and based on what you’ve seen of her, there’s good reason behind their claim. While there are certainly stronger individuals within the village like the former Kages, your ‘uncles’ Naruto and Sasuke, and so forth, even lumping their families together with them doesn’t make something like a ‘clan’. The Uzumaki clan may be close, since auntie Karen technically falls under that banner too, but a significant amount of your ‘might’ is actually in Amegakure.
In any event, the bonds of respect – and even affection – within your team have remained strong even while you’ve been largely isolated to pursue special training under your parents.
“So the priority,” a voice muses, snapping you back to attention in the present, “should now be to secure shelter for the night. If we find any additional information during that process so be it, but if not we will try again at the public house later in the evening.”
“Agreed,” you nod curtly.
