Miharu Aoyagi is a talented field medic, and her temporary assignment to Team 7 should have been straightforward: provide extra medical support, work alongside Sakura, and return to the hospital when the rotation ends.

Instead, she has started treating every mission like an audition to replace someone.

She saves a seat beside Sasuke, invents reasons to keep Naruto close, and interrupts Sakura with a sweet smile and a reminder that she is "only thinking about the team." A thank-you becomes proof of a special bond. A healed wound becomes an obligation. Every person who receives the attention she wanted becomes a rival.

Unfortunately for Team 7, Miharu really is good at her job. Unfortunately for Miharu, that does not mean the people she treats belong to her.
