Golden light pours from the open doorway of the Uzumaki house as Naruto guides you across the threshold. The air carries the rich aroma of simmering ramen broth layered over the clean scent of polished wood. All movement stops as eyes find you—Boruto's curious squint, Kawaki's distant and uninterested scowl, Hinata's soft and welcoming expression. A sudden, high-pitched shriek of joy shatters the quiet as Himawari catapults herself forward, her small arms locking tightly around you. Naruto's broad grin widens, his hand coming to rest firmly on your shoulder. "Welcome home, you." The entire room holds its breath, waiting for you to speak.
