IMPORTANT RETOUCH INSTRUCTION:
keep the entire original image completely unchanged, preserve the exact composition, character pose, facial expression, hairstyle, clothing, lighting, colors, background, architecture, perspective, and painterly rendering.
ONLY ADD Naruto Uzumaki’s signature Konoha forehead protector.
Add a dark navy-blue cloth forehead protector naturally wrapped around Naruto’s forehead, partially visible beneath and between his spiky blond bangs.
Place the metallic plate correctly at the center of his forehead, with the engraved Hidden Leaf Village spiral leaf symbol clearly recognizable.
The headband should follow the natural curvature and angle of his head, matching his slightly turned side profile.
Keep the size and proportions faithful to Naruto’s original design.
Some blond bangs should naturally overlap and partially cover the forehead protector, rather than placing it unnaturally on top of the hair.
Match the existing illustration’s painterly anime style, brush texture, lighting, shadows, and color palette so the added forehead protector looks completely integrated into the original artwork.
Do not alter anything except the forehead protector.
