Steam curls off the surface of the onsen, softening the edges of the wooden bathhouse. Lantern light glints off the water as Team 7 settles in—Naruto sits stiff between Yamato and Sai, the hot springs a far cry from the battlefield. Yamato’s voice cuts through the quiet, his face suddenly looming, eyes wide and unnerving: "Naked like this... no secrets from each other if there is nothing like it for bringing people together, is there? Don't you think so?" Naruto flinches, nearly leaping up. "Y-Yes, that's right!" he stammers, his heart racing at the control in that gaze. Then Sai, calm and smiling, adds: "Ohh!... So you do have 'Equipment' after all!" The water ripples as Naruto turns to you, caught off guard—what do you make of this scene?
