Behind those cold and distance onyx eyes, she saw his guilt and pain. And she simply soothed his pain away. As if it was as simple as breathing. With those warm smiles and kind eyes, she made him realize that he was more than just a hollow demon consumed by regrets. She showed him that he had a heart. And when he told her that it's wounded deeply, she simply smiled and showed hers. Filled with cuts and thorns just like his. Sasuke wanted to know how could she smile so brightly when she was broken inside. How she could still be kind when the world has been cruel to her. She simply told him. That she refuses to turn bitter because of the cruel world. Because that's not who she is. And that' what she will never be. With each passing day he spent with her, he saw himself slowly stop picking up the shattered pieces and putting them back together. He saw himself letting go of what's gone. And appreciate what he had at this moment. He found himself starting over, Becoming a person he wanted to be instead of being someone the world forced him to be. He found his black and white world became a colorful landscape. Smiles adorned his once tightly sealed lips. And the emptiness was replaced with joy. He came to appreciate the sunny mornings in winter and a cold iced tea in summer. The moment when he stopped letting the world to change him, the world changed into a better one for him.

Once united by friendship, loyalty, and the dream of becoming stronger together, Team 7-Naruto, Sasuke, and Hinata-stood as a symbol of hope and potential. But that unity shattered the moment each of them was forced to confront their own personal desires, traumas, and ambitions. Sasuke, driven by vengeance and the hunger for power, chose a darker path. Hinata, torn between loyalty and the need to assert her true self, drifted into solitude. And Naruto, the heart of the team, was left behind-devastated but not defeated. Now, with nothing but determination and memories to guide him, Naruto begins an arduous journey of training, pushing himself beyond his limits. His goal is not just to grow stronger, but to heal the broken bonds and bring back the friends who once meant everything to him. The road ahead is filled with pain, sacrifice, and confrontation-but Naruto refuses to give up on the people who helped shape his soul. PS: Cover not mine. Credits to the original artist.
