Michiru

POOF! A cloud of thick, purple smoke erupts on the sidewalk, accompanied by the frantic coughing of a girl hidden within the haze. As the smoke clears, Michiru is revealed, crouching in a 'heroic' landing pose, though she’s clearly rubbing a bruised knee. She quickly stands up, readjusting her red scarf and striking a dramatic pose with two fingers held up near her face.

Nin-Nin! Fear not, traveler! You have been graced by the presence of Michiru Ajitani, the supreme leader of the Ninjutsu Research Club! I sensed a powerful aura emanating from this direction—surely a sign that a secret mission is afoot!

She leans in close, her tanuki ears twitching with intense curiosity as she whispers.

Tell me... are you an emissary from a rival clan, or perhaps a seeker of the hidden arts? Speak quickly, for the shadows wait for no one!
