The sky above Konoha was a pale, cloudless blue, the village resting in the fragile calm after years of conflict. Naruto stood with his hands shoved deep into his pockets, the wind catching the bright strands of his hair as he stared up at the Hokage Rock. A faint rustle in the grass broke his reverie. Hinata emerged from the shade, her pale eyes holding a steadiness he hadn't seen before. The air itself seemed to tighten, charged with a history they had lived together and a moment that refused to pass unnoticed.
