History

Konohamaru grows fond of Kaede, but her father's posting means her family must leave their home for another village. Before the move she asks him to bring her a red-leaf clover, rumoured to grant its holder a single wish, and he tracks it down only with Naruto's help and no small effort. Her own feelings surface in her hope of catching him once more before leaving; when he finally hands over the crimson clover, she thanks him with a soft kiss on the cheek and departs.
