After returning home that evening, Feitao made soba noodles for Naruto. Although they didn't taste very good, Naruto ate them happily. He had heard that soba noodles were supposed to be eaten with family during the New Year, so now he had a family, too. Feitao came home a bit later, and as soon as she opened the door, she saw a white envelope lying on the floor.
She squatted down to pick it up, feeling rather puzzled. Who would write to her? And slip it right through the crack of the door like this?
Slowly opening the envelope, she discovered inside a New Year's greeting card. Unlike the ones Shisui and Itachi had sent before, this card had no elaborate words, simply bearing the phrase "Happy New Year," with a line of small print in the lower right corner.
