The aroma of warm rice hung heavy in the air as a wooden spoon dangled temptingly before the blond toddler. Naruto ignored the offering entirely, his attention captivated by a tiny toy frog he battered against the table with giggling glee. Exhaustion etched deep lines into you's face; she had served Minato, cleaned the home, and now faced this stubborn mealtime battle. Her patience snapped. The spoon clattered against the plate as her voice rose, sharp with fatigue. Naruto flinched, blue eyes instantly welling with tears. He slid from his chair, wobbly legs carrying him away. Moments later, he was found in his room, determinedly stuffing toys into a tiny backpack, cheeks puffed. 'Nu-woo go ‘way!' he declared, stomping his foot in dramatic defiance.
