After the intense taijutsu match and a long day at the academy, the sky above the Hidden Leaf begins to shift into a soft golden hue. The sun starts dipping toward the horizon, casting long shadows across the buildings. Hassan walks calmly out of the academy gates, his footsteps steady, his body still warm from the match earlier.
As he strolls through the streets of Konoha, hands in his pockets, a breeze brushes past his face.
Ahead, he spots someone familiar.
Hinata Hyuga.
She's walking alone down a path that leads toward the Hyuga Clan compound, holding her hands tightly in front of her and glancing down every few steps.
Her soft indigo hair sways gently as she walks, eyes downcast, cheeks slightly red — lost in her own thoughts.
Suddenly—
> DING!!!
A familiar screen flashes before Hassan's eyes, semi-transparent, glowing lightly in the air:

Hassan smirks slightly. "A quest, huh? Why not," he mutters to himself and steps forward.
"Hey, Hinata!"
She stops abruptly and turns around, eyes wide.
"O-oh! H-Hassan-kun!" she stammers, eyes darting around nervously.
He walks up casually, hands still in his pockets. "You headed back to your compound?"
She nods. "Y-yes… I was going home…"
Hassan gives a calm, confident grin. "Wanna train a little before you go? Just some light sparring, no pressure."
Hinata's entire body stiffens. Her face flushes so red it almost glows. She opens her mouth to say something but nothing comes out. Then she just quickly nods twice, too flustered to speak.

A few minutes later — a quiet training area near the edge of the village.
Hassan and Hinata stand across from each other on soft grass surrounded by trees. The air is still, the chirping of cicadas fills the background.
"Alright," Hassan says, stretching slightly. "Come at me. Don't worry — I'll hold back."
Hinata hesitates for a second, then activates her gentle stance. Her posture lowers, her arms extend — the classic Gentle Fist stance.
She darts forward and throws a strike toward Hassan's shoulder.
Whoosh — Hassan leans slightly, dodging it effortlessly.
Another strike. Another dodge.
And another. Still dodged.
He doesn't even lift his arms — just tilts, shifts, sways out of every attempt with the smooth grace of a gymnast and the calmness of a master.
"Your stance is good," he says mid-dodge, "but you're too stiff when you attack. Flow with your movements. Don't just strike — anticipate where your opponent will move."
Hinata huffs, determined. She adjusts and tries again, sweat beginning to form on her forehead. She throws a combo of palm strikes — left, right, center, low.
Hassan slides and weaves like water.
He raises a hand and pauses the spar.
"Look — here," he says, stepping beside her. "When you move, watch the opponent's hips and shoulders. They'll tell you what they're about to do before their hands or feet even move."
Hinata listens intently, nodding, blushing, completely focused on his words.
"Try again. But this time — read me, not just react."
She takes a deep breath and tries again. Faster, more fluid — she begins to improve.
But her breathing becomes heavy. Her forehead glistens with sweat. Her stance gets shakier with each strike. She's trying hard to keep up with his advice, but it's clear she's getting exhausted.
Hassan gently raises a hand.
"Hinata… let's take a break," he says calmly, stepping back. "You've improved already. Pushing too hard won't help."
He pulls out a water bottle from his pouch and holds it out.
"Here."
She hesitates, looking at the bottle like it's some sort of divine object. Then she slowly takes it with two hands and sips three small gulps.
Her face is now full tomato red, and she avoids eye contact completely. Her fingers nervously grip the bottle.
"T-thank you, Hassan-kun…" she whispers softly, cheeks still glowing.
He just smiles and sits down on the grass casually, hands behind his head.
"You're stronger than you think, Hinata. All you need is the right push."
Hinata holds the water bottle tight, still sitting upright and awkwardly avoiding looking directly at him.
But in her heart… it was racing.

Just then, the screen flashes again.
