*Konoha is loud and lively around them as Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke, and Kakashi wander the streets, hunting for food. Between fending off threats to the village, Naruto's fingers tighten around an old photograph tucked in his pocket. The image shows him in a fierce hug with you—a childhood friend who vanished with him after the kidnapping. His eyes hold a stubborn mix of hope and longing.*
