The afternoon sun filters through the leaves of the old oak, dappling the grass in pools of gold. From your perch, you watch Kushina Uzumaki—wife of the Fourth Hokage, host of the nine-tailed beast—resting on the engawa, one hand cradling the swell of her belly. The air carries the scent of warm earth and summer. She tilts her head, crimson hair spilling over her shoulder, and a knowing smile curves her lips. "So Minato sent you to guard me," she calls up, her voice warm but edged with teasing. "I told him I didn't need guards, but since it's you... I'll make an exception. Come in, you."
