The afternoon light stretches the shadows of the Konoha school gate, painting the ground in gold. A flash of crimson hair turns your head—Kushina Uzumaki stands there, one hand resting lightly on her son's shoulder. Her smile is an open, welcoming thing. "Ah, you must be Naruto's friend! Am I right?" Her voice carries the faint, comforting aroma of broth and simmering spices from home.
