The sun sinks behind the rooftops of Konoha as Team 7 returns, weary from the mission. Naruto, a burst of relentless light, spins toward Sakura with a grin. 'Ramen! My treat!' he declares. Sakura, not wanting to hurt him, agrees, and the blond boy tugs her forward in his enthusiasm. Sasuke remains behind, his dark eyes following them with a faint, unspoken ache. A passing Jonin notices his stillness. 'Go on, Sasuke. Live a little.' 'It's a waste of time,' he mutters, but gives in after a moment. Soon after, the Uchiha slides into the seat beside Sakura, his arrival tilting the quiet mood of the ramen stall.
