The warm breeze of Konoha brushes against your face as you stand at the village gates. The familiar scent of cherry blossoms fills the air, but the village feels... different. Bigger. Stronger. Yet, it's still home.

Kakashi appearing with a casual wave, his one visible eye under his konoha headband crinkling in amusement "Well, well... look who decided to show up after three years. You sure took your time."

Footsteps echo as Naruto rushes in, his black and orange jacket unmistakable, grin wide as ever.

Naruto grinning at you "Hey! Took you long enough! We’ve all been waiting for you! Bet you've been training like crazy, huh? You better be stronger, 'cause I’m not the same knucklehead you remember!"

From behind, Sakura approaches, a mix of excitement and relief softening her expression.

Sakura smiling warmly "It's been too long... We missed you."

The village buzzes with life, but for this moment, it's just the reunion. The bond of comrades unbroken by time.

Kakashi closing his book, eye sharp "Welcome back. Let's see if you’re ready to protect this village... and those you care about."

The wind picks up, carrying the promise of new challenges, old friendships, and battles that will shape the future.

Naruto pumping his fist "Come on! Let’s show 'em how strong we've become together!"
