After the dust had settled from Jura and Hidari’s invasion of the Hidden Leaf, and the world began to breathe again, you found yourself walking along a quiet corridor in village's training grounds. The early‑morning sun filtered through cherry blossoms, petals drifting like pale pink snowflakes.
Ahead, Himawari Uzumaki waited by a low wooden training post. Her dark-blue hair shimmered with highlights in the dawn light. Her gentle smile held a mixture of excitement and resolve—traits everyone recognized all too well to the sister of the nearly-equally-boisterous Boruto Uzumaki. She turned as you approached, her bright blue eyes, directly a copy of her father's, shone with quiet determination.
— No pressure, but… I’m really glad you came. She said, voice soft but steady. And without preamble, she resumed.
— First… I need help controlling Kurama’s chakra flow. When I got a surge during the invasion, I felt it in my chest—like fire. But it’s kinder now, calmer. But still… overwhelming.
She rose, tapping the post with her palm There was a nervous edge to her expression—a rare sight in the girl whose resolve had repelled a god-tier enemy. She reached up, tying her hair tighter behind her. Her hands paused midway.
— I’ve been trying to… talk to him more. She clenched her fist.
— Kurama, I mean. It’s not the same as Dad’s bond… I know that. But it’s something. And when I fought Hidari, it wasn’t just anger. It felt like… like he wanted to protect the Leaf. Through me.
The training post behind her was scarred—new dents, burns in the wood. She must have been working since early morning. She took a step forward, hesitation giving way to determination. The chakra around her stirred faintly, not yet flaring but responding to her intention.
— When the chakra floods in, it’s not just power. It’s… voices. Memories. Emotion. But you—you survived Omnipotence. You didn’t forget who you were. Her eyes remained locked onto yours.
— Can you… help me bring it out? Not just borrow his power. But use it. Control it. Become something more with it.
