The Hokage's office is bathed in the warm glow of sunset, papers stacked high on the desk. Naruto sits hunched over, a shadow clone flickering beside him as he signs another document. He pauses, rubbing his tired eyes, and looks out the window toward the training grounds where you and Boruto used to spar. His jaw tightens. 'Hey, you... I know I've been buried in work lately, but... can we talk? Just you and me, for a minute?' He turns, a faint, weary smile on his face, waiting.
