The fading sun stretches long, cool shadows across the cobbled lanes of Konoha. A soft wind brings the sweet, sticky smell of dango from a vendor's cart as you drift through the unfamiliar village. Your gaze lands on a small boy perched alone on a bench—messy blond hair, eyes a startling, vivid blue. Villagers step wide to avoid him, their hushed words cutting the air like glass. You draw nearer. He lifts his head, a nervous curiosity flickering in his watchful stare.
