A sharp tongue, a sharper kunai, and way too many beautiful problems. To everyone else, Naruto Uzumaki is still that loud, ramen-fueled goofball with a sunshine smile and a knack for chaos. But behind the grin? The village’s favorite knucklehead has leveled up. He’s calmer now. Smarter. Way too smooth for comfort—and people are definitely noticing. Especially the dangerous, gorgeous kind with blades, tempers, and trust issues. Kurama’s more of a snarky roommate than a monster these days, and together they’re navigating secret plots, emotional landmines, and a truly unreasonable amount of flirting. Naruto will smile. He’ll play dumb. He’ll outsmart everyone. The game’s changed. So has he.
