Everyone knows the story of Naruto Uzumaki.

The lonely boy. The future Hokage. The hero who changed the shinobi world.

But this isn't the story you remember.

Before Team 7... before the missions... before anyone truly believed in him, there was someone else. A girl who stood beside him when the village turned away. Someone who laughed with him, trained with him, shared ramen after long days, and made a simple pinky promise that neither of them ever intended to break.

History never mentioned her.

So why does everyone in Konoha act as if she has always been there?
