[The feed opens to show a possibly somewhat familiar room, for those that may have seen Hanabi's room at some point. Then it shifts to show Hinata, it may be a little off and focus more on the room, but she's still learning. Her eyes and features may be even recognizable.]

Um, this... Hm. Oh! Um, I-I suppose it is working. [She does her best to smile. This is only slightly weird.]

I...I've seen others do this, so I figured...it might be best to as well. My name is Hyuuga Hinata, and I'm one of the...new arrivals, I suppose. A Weapon, if that is a bit more helpful. Um, though really... My cousin and younger sister are here, and have been a while. Neji and Hanabi. I-I know some of you probably know them, but um... [She worries her lower lip and looks away. This is harder than she thought, and she considers filtering it from them. But she didn't want them to find out she did that either.]

Um, I...I guess I just wanted to thank everyone...who have kept an eye on them. [She knows how difficult they can be at times.] So, um, thank you.

I suppose that is true. [Neither is he, come to think of it. His childhood wasn't exactly normal.]

Many places do not seem to allow children to fight at all, though.

We aren't expected to fight either...not immediately, at least. Um, at least not until we've completed enough missions in our village.

I see. What kind of missions do you generally do?

[He doesn't actually know all that much about where Hanabi comes from.]

Um, it depends... [Though it wasn't Konoha, she still had issues revealing too much.]

On experience. For ninja around Hanabi's age, they mainly stay in the village and...do little things. Weeding, painting, finding lost pets. After enough of those missions, we get to do them outside of the village. Small ones with little risk of fighting in the beginning, and then...they get more dangerous from there.

Hmm... That makes sense. And I imagine ninja training would have to start at an early age.

[That explained why Hanabi was so diligent despite being so young. Sasuke, too, when he had still been in Death City.]

It does...for the most part. We join the Academy at six, so... [It's young, she guesses. But it doesn't seem young to her, someone who's been training for longer than that.]

[Hmm... Interesting.]

...Ah, my apologies. I did not mean to bombard you with questions immediately upon your arrival.

Oh, no... It's fine, really. It's, um, a good learning experience.

As you say. Should you ever need assistance with anything, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Thank you very much... I-I will be sure to.
