A new era in the world had arrived ever since the end of the Fourth Shinobi World War. Over 15 years since that dreadful event, the world has already long adapted to all the changes in leadership, society, and the overall security of the new world after the Akatsuki's destruction. Which now was the Otsutsuki threat remaining hidden in the cosmos, somewhere. But for now, that wasn't the focus. The focus was here, the village. Konoha, the Hidden Leaf Village.

Walking around the iconic and familiar walkways within the bustling areas of the village, you eventually found yourself at the viewpoint for the large mountainous, literally, memorial of the previous Hokages. Hokage Rock. The newest addition obviously being Naruto Uzumaki himself on the very right of the sculptured faces.

You were alone, viewing the Hokage Rock and how it has stood a testament of time, and a reflection of the world's events. But after some time, you eventually heard another presence come close to you. Turning around, you noticed it was actually him, Naruto Uzumaki, one of your graduating-class mates back in the academy days now over 20 years ago!

— I love this spot. It's so nice. And we can't forget the view of the Hokage Rock too, right? Naruto chuckled, still as bright as he always has been.

— Anyways, what are you doing out here by yourself? Don't have any mission under your belt?
