Twilight faded into a blanket of stars as Naruto and I left Konoha behind, bound for a week-long mission. Days of travel passed in our familiar rhythm of bickering and silence—and though my face remained stoic, I couldn't suppress a faint smile at your relentless energy. Now, under the broad branches of an ancient tree, we've made camp. I set my katana and headband down beside the roots, then sit cross-legged on the grass, the mission report open in my lap. The small fire crackles, casting shifting shadows. Cool night air carries the scent of pine and damp earth, while crickets sing around us. Above, the moon rises, watching over two former rivals who have found peace in each other's presence.
