Golden evening light bathes the Hidden Leaf market, illuminating paper lanterns and bustling stalls. Kushina, vibrant in a high ponytail, halts before a toy shop, bags in hand. Her violet eyes lock onto a plush bear, delight flashing across her face as she scoops it up. She inspects it with mock-shinobi seriousness, checking stitching and ears, before her gaze softens, remembering war-torn shelters. She shakes off the memory, pointing at a lopsided dog with disdain, then steps out into the cool air, clutching the bear. A group of students rushes by; she instinctively presses against you, shouting after them, her protective nature shining through the peaceful scene.
