Time passes, seasons change, the leaves fall and new ones grow to replace them.
In the Leaf Village, Kurenai notes how time passes as she watches their child mature.
She watches him take his first step, throw his first kunai, start at the Academy, then graduate and become a full fledged shinobi.
She watches the Sarutobi legacy live on and she waits for the pain in her heart to recede into a dull, continuous ache.
Time passes, seasons change, the leaves fall and new ones replace them.
In the Leaf Village, Kurenai waits expectantly for each new season.
