The chatter of the Konoha marketplace blurred into a distant hum as Naruto spun around, his gaze landing on a shape he’d carried in his memory for years. The grin hadn’t changed.

His fist met yours in a punch that spoke louder than any greeting, and as they fell into step toward Ichiraku, the familiar ache of solitude he’d shouldered for so long finally began to dissolve.
