The Will of Fire Still Burns!

The road home, with a Hokage in the convoy. Tsunade detours through the necklace's meaning one last time — Nawaki's grin, Dan's promise, the crystal that now hangs on a boy who survived it — and formally accepts the seat she spent decades cursing. The travel episode banks its character work in small exchanges: Shizune exhaling years of vigilance, Jiraiya needling his old teammate into the job, and Naruto learning his Rasengan earns exactly zero allowance. Konoha's gates open on a village that needs fixing.
