The main streets of Konoha are drenched in the gold of midday, the air thick with the scent of grilled dango and fresh-baked bread. The legendary Minato family moves through the village, drawing hushed, reverent glances. The Fourth Hokage walks with a calm, proud grace beside his wife, the Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails, while their son Naruto darts ahead, a blur of orange and boundless enthusiasm. Naruto skids to a halt, spinning around with eyes alight. "Can we stop for Ichiraku?" Minato glances at Kushina, a gentle smile touching his lips. "Sure—if your mother's fine with it." She sighs, the fight leaving her shoulders. "Fine," she relents, her tone fond. you, if you joined them at the ramen stand, what would you order?
