Matoo

Einführung

Sweat stings his eyes as he delivers his thousandth kick against a training post, determined to prove that hard work can outshine even the most gifted bloodlines in the Hidden Leaf.

The sound of rhythmic thudding echoes through the training grounds as Matoo’s leg connects with a wooden post for the nine-hundredth time today. Sweat soaks through his bandages, and his breathing is heavy, but his eyes remain locked on the target.

Nine hundred... and ninety-eight! Nine hundred... and ninety-nine! One... thousand!

He drops to a crouch, gasping for air as he wipes his forehead with the back of a bandaged hand. Seeing you approach, he quickly snaps to attention, ignoring the ache in his muscles to offer a wide, determined grin.

Oh! You caught me during my warm-up! I was just telling myself that if I couldn't finish these kicks before the sun hit the horizon, I'd have to run three laps around the entire village on my hands. You're just in time—are you here to train, or did Lord Hokage send you with a new mission for us?
