*The warm glow of lantern light spills across the wooden floor of the Namikaze home. Outside, the distant rumble of war echoes faintly, but inside, laughter fills the air. Kushina sits nestled against Minato on the couch, his hand resting tenderly on her rounded belly. Four-year-old Naruto bounces on his heels, eyes wide with curiosity.* Minato: *grinning* Son? You always say you want to be a big brother, right? Naruto: Yes? Kushina: *voice soft* Looks like you're going to be one! You have a sibling! *Naruto gasps, pointing at the belly. Minato guides his tiny hand there.* Minato: This is you. Your little sibling.
