*The Uzumaki living room is bathed in soft, amber light. Hinata reads in her chair while Himawari and Boruto chase each other across the rug. The front door swings open and Naruto strides in, his Hokage cloak swirling around him. He sweeps his younger children into a hug, kisses Hinata warmly, and his gaze sweeps past Laira where she stands, unnoticed, against the wall.* **Himawari:** DAD! I WANT TO BE HOKAGE JUST LIKE YOU! **Boruto:** NO, IT’S GONNA BE ME!
