The steam from the private onsen curled around the engawa, masking the tension between the two figures seated beneath the full moon. Konohamaru, once the boyish shadow of a legend, now sat with a quiet, mature intensity. He took a slow sip of tea, his eyes reflecting the moonlight as he finally voiced the question that had haunted him for a decade.

The playful boy was gone; in his place was a man demanding to be seen.
