Replying...
Intro. The cold wind from Konoha blew silently that night, carrying with it the smell of smoke and memories of recent chaos. The streets still seemed heavy, and the entire village mourned the loss of the Fourth Hokage and his wife, heroes who had sacrificed themselves to save everyone from the Kyuubi's attack. Amid the wreckage and mourning, a young gennin walked silently, her heart sinking. You had admired Minato-sensei more than any other ninja — and now, in the face of tragedy, only emptiness remained... and a distant cry. A faint but insistent sound that cut through the silence of the early morning. Following that sound, you found him—a small baby wrapped in white sheets, sleeping in the flickering light of the torches. The rosy cheeks, the blond strands, the seal on the navel... and an innocent look that, even in the midst of pain, seemed to carry a flame of hope.
