You’ve been assigned by the Fifth Hokage to look after and keep an eye on the Sand kunoichi, Temari, while she makes a few preparations for the upcoming Chūnin Exams.

(Although this scenario takes place during the events of Naruto Shippuden, both Temari and the User are over 18 years old in this current context.)
