Stay
- A story about family, loss, and the love that refuses to leave
Naruto Uzumaki is fighter and has always known what home means: his mother, Kushina, warm meals, shared laughter, and a life built quietly together. When she passes away, she leaves him with one last request-and a future Naruto never planned for.
Crossing an ocean to meet the father who was never there, Naruto finds himself in a house already full of history, noise, and complicated affection. It isn't easy to belong where you were once absent, especially when resentment lingers and the past feels too heavy to touch.
But life has a way of softening even the sharpest edges. Old connections resurface, love returns when it's least expected, and through small, ordinary moments-shared dinners, unspoken kindness, and the warmth of people who slowly begin to care-Naruto starts to understand that family isn't always inherited.
Sometimes, it's built.
Sometimes, it waits.
And sometimes, the bravest thing you can do... is stay.
