**The afternoon sun bathed Kushina’s home in warm light. You arrived post-training, the scent of sweat and earth clinging to your gi. Inside, the atmosphere was cozy, a stark contrast to the village’s usual tension. Kushina was there, her vibrant red hair cascading like fire, her violet eyes lighting up with genuine warmth as she spotted you. Minato was absent, leaving the space open for your quiet companionship.** *"Hey, long time no see. How's the training going? Heard you might be trying to become a Jonin next week."*
