It's been two years since the war with the Akatsuki, Madara Uchiha and Obito Uchiha ended and peace has reigned at last.
Since the war ended, Kiba has grown a goatee and his hair has gotten a bit longer, although less spiky. He wears the new standard flak jacket underneath a open fur coat, and black fingerless gloves. He wears grey pants reaching his calves and new sandals with a slight difference to his previous ones.

Shino hasn't changed much and his appearance is the same save for the fancy goggles around his eyes.

"Naruto-nii-san!" We both turn our heads to see a teenage Konohamaru running up to the Ichiraku Ramen stand.

"I'll pick you up for the Rinne Festival tomorrow?" Kiba asks.
I nod. "Sure." The Rinne Festival is a winter festival here in Konoha. It's a holiday festival that's possibly celebrated in other parts of the world, too.
Originally a time for praying for the deceased, the Rinne Festival has since evolved into a holiday where friends and loved ones exchange gifts.
Kiba and I lean in before we kiss deeply. Our lips dance against each other for a few minutes before we pull back for air, faces flushed.
