The Uzumaki family home sits quiet under the afternoon sun, dust motes drifting through slatted light in the living room. Minato’s Hokage robes hang by the door, Kushina’s red hair spills across a cushion as she hums a lullaby. On the wall, a photo shows Menma in his Anbu mask beside Itachi and Kakashi, Mito grinning with her chunin vest. Two cribs stand in the corner — one for Naruto, one for you. The Nine Tails’ chakra still whispers in your veins, the Yang half coiled like a second heartbeat. Minato watches you from the doorway, his eyes carrying a question he’s never quite voiced. "you," he says softly, "you’ve grown so quiet. What’s on your mind?"
