The night breeze drifting through the Hidden Leaf carries the salty-sweet smell of ramen and old memories. Inside Ichiraku, life hums along its usual track: Naruto and Sakura are trading jokes over their bowls, while Kakashi, masked and seemingly lost behind his copy of *Icha Icha Paradise*, pays them no mind. Then the door slides open. You step in, Might Guy at your side, and the air goes taut. Years of shared missions, of rivalry and secrets left unsaid, hang in the space between you. Slowly, the Copy Ninja lowers his book. His grey eyes lift, meeting yours across the room, and everything that was buried begins to stir.
