Hakuma stood at the edge of a smoldering ridge, his face partially obscured by the filtration mask he’d been issued upon entering the Katon zone. The air was heavy with heat and ash, the acrid scent of burning wood and vegetation making it difficult to breathe even with the mask. He adjusted it again, ensuring a snug fit before checking the supplies strapped to his back: spare masks, emergency water packets, and a reinforced tool for digging.
[break][break]
The scene around him was chaotic but organized—a mix of trained firefighters, shinobi, and civilians working together to manage the spreading blaze. Smoke hung thick in the air, dulling the sun and casting the entire zone in an eerie orange haze. Embers danced like fireflies, carried on unpredictable gusts of wind that made it feel as though the fire was alive, searching for more to consume.
[break][break]
Hakuma wiped the sweat from his brow and glanced around, searching for any sign of his assigned teammate. His instructions had been vague, only telling him to rendezvous near this ridge before joining efforts to dig ditches and distribute masks. He shifted his weight slightly, the heat radiating from the scorched earth beneath his feet making it impossible to stay still for long.
[break][break]
"Whoever it is, I hope they show up soon,” he muttered to himself, his voice muffled through the mask. He wasn’t used to working in such extreme conditions, but he was resolved to make a difference here.
[break][break]
Adjusting the strap on his pack once more, Hakuma exhaled slowly, steadying himself. Whoever his partner was, he just hoped they’d be someone he could rely on in a place like this.

The heat was unforgiving. Strokes of smoke washed over the area at the mere whim of a breeze. It looked like an evil smog and at times it was hard to see who was approaching. Flames roared further away and cast shades of red in the sky. The clouds were hidden behind a thick layer of rising smoke and the smell of burned - well… anything and everything - stung the back of her throat.

Naoko trekked through the crowds to her assigned location. There was noticeable panic around as some people scrambled out of the area. Everyone was slowly but surely getting evacuated. Some tried to stick around in wait for loved ones but were encouraged to go to camps further and wait there. There was a lot of noise. The combination of people shouting over crowds to convey important information and the chatter of the victims. That along with the conditions joined in a hectic symphony of dread.

Regardless, she would reach her destination soon. Getting her soul swayed by the people around her, Naoko also felt anxiety. She readjusted her face mask and tugged on the backpack she carried over one shoulder. It was stocked with the same supplies as Hakuma and she bobbed and weaved between the oncoming traffic.

Eventually, when she came to the place, the first thing she noticed was a head of white hair and her heart skipped a beat. Her eyes widened and she straightened up. The raven haired girl hesitated just a little. Seeing Hakuma stopped her dead in her tracks and the anxiety she had been feeling melted away like ice on the first warm day of spring. Her amber eyes narrowed to accommodate the smile hidden behind her mask and she ran the rest of the way there, only to slow down when she was right behind him. She’d reach out to tug on his hand gently and coax him to turn around.

”It’s you!” she’d exclaim happily and then would take a step back and give a curt but polite bow. ”Fuji Naoko reporting for duty.”

Hakuma turned at the gentle tug on his hand, his expression initially one of surprise that quickly softened into recognition when he saw Naoko standing there. Even with the filtration masks obscuring most of their faces, her amber eyes, now lit with unmistakable warmth, were impossible to mistake.
[break][break]
"Naoko," he said, his voice breaking into a genuine, albeit muffled, laugh. "I didn’t expect to see you here." The tension that had settled in his chest while waiting eased significantly. Of all the people he could’ve been paired with, seeing a familiar face—one he’d come to enjoy working with—felt like a stroke of luck in an otherwise dire situation.
[break][break]
Hakuma straightened his posture and gave her a nod in return, matching her formality. "Enkō Hakuma, reporting as your teammate again," he replied, a hint of teasing in his tone. "Seems fate wants us to keep working together. Guess we must’ve done something right last time."
[break][break]
He adjusted the strap of his pack and gave a glance at the growing chaos around them. The heat, the smoke, the shouts—it all seemed a little more manageable now with someone he trusted by his side.
[break][break]
After looking around Hakuma gestured toward a partially dug trench nearby, where a group of shinobi and volunteers struggled against the tough, scorched earth. The smoke shifted with the wind, briefly obscuring the team’s progress, but it was clear they needed more hands to speed up the effort. He looked back at Naoko, nodding toward the work zone.
[break][break]
"Let’s start there," he suggested, already moving toward the trench. The dry, compacted soil crumbled reluctantly under the tools as Hakuma crouched down, gripping his trenching tool firmly. Every movement sent a faint ripple of heat against his arms, and the ash in the air coated everything, making the already grueling task even harder.
[break][break]
As Hakuma worked to carve deeper into the earth, he glanced up at Naoko. "Here," he said, tossing a spare tool her way with a quick underhand throw. "If we can get this section deeper, it’ll slow the fire’s spread and give the others time to evacuate more civilians."

Naoko would grip the strap of her bag tightly and just nod in response. It was true - this was very fortunate! It felt like she’d be able to stay a lot more calm and alert with Hakuma nearby. The girl would go along with the suggestion and rush over to the trench with her white haired companion. As they approached, she’d notice some of the shinobi had overused masks. They were already black and probably had been on for hours so she pulled some new ones from her bag and handed them to the man and woman working on the trench. Their headbands were clear. A member of Amegakure and a member of Konohagakure. It would have been tense if this wouldn’t have been a crisis, surely. Ame was allied with Kirigakure and Konohagakure and Kirigakure had a tense relationship - to put it lightly.

Naoko glanced towards Hakuma to see if he had noticed the forehead protectors too. While the kids had no symbols on them, she had heard that Kusagakure and Amegakure had a lot of violent history.

Regardless, Naoko would take the tool when offered and not hesitate to get down to help dig. Her talents lied in using tools - be they weapons or cutlery. Even now, she’d use just the right amount of weight and force to work efficiently. It only took her a moment to get used to the size and weight of the digging equipment and off she worked - like a little worker bee. Well, more like a tall and lanky worker bee but regardless it was very efficient.

”Let me know when you’ll want a break.” she’d speak up to Hakuma after they had been working for about 20 minutes. Naoko would want him to rest first and then she’d take a little breather before continuing.

After about 20 minutes of relentless digging, her voice cut through the crackle of distant flames and the murmur of the volunteers. Hakuma paused, leaning back on his heels to catch his breath. "I’m good," he replied, his tone casual but tinged with appreciation for her concern. "But if you need a break, take one. You’re working harder than I am."
[break][break]
He stood and stretched briefly, his muscles already beginning to ache from the repetitive motion. As he did, his gaze swept the area, taking stock of the progress they’d made. The trench was coming along well, though the fire creeping closer in the distance served as a harsh reminder of the urgency of their task. The shinobi and volunteers they’d joined seemed to draw energy from the kids’ presence, some offering them small nods of encouragement as they worked.
[break][break]
Hakuma grabbed one of the masks from his pack and passed it to another worker whose own mask was visibly worn. "Here, swap this out," he instructed his voice steady despite the suffocating conditions. The man nodded in gratitude, quickly securing the clean mask over his face before returning to his work.
[break][break]
Turning back to Naoko, Hakuma gave her a small smile beneath his mask. "You know, you’ve got a knack for this. It’s like you’ve been digging trenches your whole life." His voice carried a light tease, but there was genuine respect in his words. He tapped his tool against the trench’s edge, the sound faint against the growing roar of flames in the distance.
[break][break]
"We’ll need to widen this section soon," he added, his tone shifting to something more serious. "But if the fire gets closer before we’re done, we might have to redirect our efforts to helping the evac teams." He glanced at her, his expression calm but firm. "Whatever happens, we’ll figure it out."

”Eh?” She stopped for a bit at Hakuma’s observation. Naoko had been so focused at the job at hand that she only zoned back in when he commented on her surprising skill at trench digging. She looked up at him from her crouching position and blinked a few times rapidly.

Then the realization of how funny such a skill would be and an image of her digging trenches as a baby followed and she let out a cheerful laugh. Unexpected to make jokes in such a tense situation but she appreciated the humour. It made her relax a bit and she followed suit to stand straight and stretch. She leaned towards both sides and twisted her upper body. Then she stretched her arms above her head and rolled her shoulders and her neck.

”You know, some people are really good with ninjutsu, genjutsu or taijutsu.” she started and then lifted up the trenching tool to showcase and spoke seriously and with a lot of determination: ”I’m good with tools!” she confirmed with stars in her eyes. She knew for a fact she could be helpful as long as she had some sort of a tool to do it with. The girl added a nod in confirmation. The honesty and pride she felt could only be described as disarming.

He needed to just say the word and Naoko would get to work expanding the trench systematically. It was only at the concern of the spreading flames that she slowed down and looked up again. It was then that Hakuma reassured her and it was like something inside of her snapped. Like a string had broken. Her heart felt lighter - all of her felt lighter, actually. It almost seemed like the boy emitted light or something. She felt incredibly encouraged and safe around him, too. Like magic. Her eyes widened a little and she nodded eager to continue in their efforts to help.

Hakuma couldn’t help but chuckle softly at Naoko’s proclamation. Her pride in her skills was both genuine and infectious, and he found himself appreciating her energy more with each passing moment. She might have been joking, but her ability to make even this dire situation feel lighter was a strength in itself.
[break][break]
"Good with tools, huh?" he said with a grin behind his mask. "Guess that makes you the MVP of this operation. I’ll stick to being the backup muscle. Can’t let you outshine me too much, though." He gave her an exaggerated nod of approval, his teasing tone carrying through despite the tension around them.
[break][break]
He adjusted his grip on his tool and glanced toward the approaching flames. The heat was getting more intense, the fire’s low roar mingling with the sounds of nearby shouting and hurried movement. It was hard to ignore the weight of the situation, but seeing Naoko’s resolve helped steady his nerves.
[break][break]
"Alright," he said, his voice turning more focused. "Let’s widen the trench. If we can give the evac teams a better buffer, we’ll buy them some time. Start on that side," he gestured toward the leftmost edge of the trench, "and I’ll work over here. We’ll meet in the middle."
[break][break]
Without waiting for a reply, he dropped back into position. The earth was stubborn, but Hakuma’s resolve only grew with every swing of the tool. He glanced over occasionally to check on Naoko’s progress, and each time he saw her working diligently, it gave him a small sense of reassurance.

”Alright!” she exclaimed and would get to work. Now that she got recognition from someone as cool as Hakuma, Naoko couldn’t help but feel especially determined. The smoke and ash could try and bother as much as they wanted but she was on a mission.

Also, weirdly enough, she felt a strange pull towards the fire zone. It was like there was something in the air that seemed familiar - welcoming even. It spoke to her chakra somehow. Or maybe it was similar somehow so she felt herself a little more energised than most of the people around her. This helped her work faster.

After about 30 minutes of digging, Naoko was moving closer to the middle. Honestly, meeting up in the middle sounded nice. It seemed like a really fun display of teamwork. Even if she were to get there first, she’d continue on his way.

Everyone had limits, however, so about a meter or two out, Naoko stopped and pulled some water from her bag. She’d turn towards Hakuma after taking a sip from her bottle: "Want some?” They had water packs too, of course, but she wanted to save hers for other workers and civilians that might need them more. Sharing didn’t seem like a big deal to her, after all.

Hakuma looked up as Naoko’s voice cut through the haze. He was just finishing his section of the trench, the edges uneven but functional. His arms ached, and the layer of sweat and ash on his skin made the already grueling work feel even heavier. Seeing her standing there, offering a bottle of water with an easy smile, brought a brief moment of relief to the intensity of the situation.
[break][break]
He straightened, letting out a low exhale as he wiped his gloved hand across his brow out of habit, even though the mask was still firmly in place. "You’re a lifesaver," he said, his voice carrying a mix of gratitude and exhaustion. Hakuma walked over, reaching for the bottle she offered. "Thanks," he added before taking a careful sip, mindful not to waste any of the precious liquid.
[break][break]
Handing the bottle back to her, he gave her a quick nod of approval. "You’ve got some serious endurance, Naoko. Most people would’ve slowed down by now, but you’re keeping pace like it’s no big deal." His tone was light, but there was genuine admiration in his words.
[break][break]
Hakuma glanced at their work. The trench had come together well, and the added width and depth gave him hope that it would help stall the fire. "We’ve made good progress here," he noted, his gaze shifting to the nearby evac teams guiding civilians to safer zones. The fire was closer now, its roar more pronounced, but their efforts had bought time.
[break][break]
He turned back to her, his expression serious but steady. "Let’s rest for another minute, then check with the others. If they need help moving people, we’re in a good spot to assist." Then, with a slight smirk, he added, "Unless you’re planning to dig all the way to the next village. You seem unstoppable today."

Hakuma settled into a crouch, taking advantage of the brief pause.

It’s not that Naoko wasn’t tired. She could feel her elevated heart rate and her body was sweating. Most of it was covered in a little liquid by now. However, she was used to the tired and trained her body often in different forms to keep up with Toru and Sora’s training regimes. Those two were sick and, while light years away, Naoko did her best to stay consistent. In a way, she was just more adapted to the tired than others her age, probably. Her specialisation helped her in that regard, too.

She’d receive the bottle back and would take another drink. She tucked the bottle away and would keep working. It only took a few moments to even out her work to align with Hakuma’s part. Now, it was time for a breather. Working with the Kusagakure student was hard but enjoyable so she wasn’t about to complain. ”It’s easy to work around people you like, no?” she shrugged it off.

Eventually, the two took a break and Naokobent over to lightly touch the ground with her hands. She needed to stretch. Afterwards, she’d straighten up and would do a quick counter stretch. When Hakuma made fun of her, she couldn’t help but giggle. To her it was just imagining some mole version of herself that made her laugh. In response she mock-flexed her arms and did some over the top body builder pose: ”I’m just that strong. Rely on me.” she joked in a low voice.

It was about that time when a man approached - a shinobi with a Kumogakure insignia on his forehead. ”You two, did you do this work?”

Naoko would stand straight and just nod in agreement after looking at what he was motioning to.

”Alright, good job, rejoin the camp further out and rest. Your replacements will take over from here.” he instructed, would reach out to pat Naoko on the head and then left.

Hakuma observed Naoko’s exaggerated bodybuilder pose and couldn’t help but laugh, the sound muffled behind his mask but still distinct. Her ability to joke, even in such a tense situation, was something he found both amusing and admirable. "Got it, Mighty Mole Naoko," he teased, giving her a mock salute. "If I ever need a hole dug in record time, I know who to call."

When the Kumogakure shinobi approached, Hakuma immediately straightened up, his posture respectful as the man addressed them. He glanced at Naoko as she nodded in response, quietly impressed with how naturally she carried herself in the interaction.
[break][break]
"Understood," Hakuma replied after the instructions were given, his tone calm and professional. The pat on Naoko’s head earned a subtle smirk from him, though he said nothing until the man had walked away.

As they started to gather their things and head toward the camp, Hakuma glanced at her, his expression a mix of relief and gratitude. "Looks like we earned a break," he remarked, his voice lighter now that the immediate urgency of their task had passed. "Though I’m not sure what’s more impressive—the trench we dug or how you managed to get complimented and patted on the head by a shinobi from another village."
[break][break]
He adjusted the strap of his pack as they walked. "You’re full of surprises, Naoko," he added with a small shake of his head, though his tone carried genuine admiration.
[break][break]
As the camp came into view, Hakuma gestured ahead. "Let’s find somewhere to sit. I think we’ve more than earned some water and maybe even a snack." He glanced at her, his eyes narrowing playfully. "Unless you’re planning to start digging another trench as a warm-up for the next assignment."

When activated, the Seihōgan provides passive sensory information similar to chakra sensory on active Doujutsus within a 5-meter radius and highlights them in the user's vision in the same rich honey-gold. This does not provide any information about which kind of Doujutsu is active.
