[Open] Finally, good news.

[proudofmybaby]

When she'd gotten home the other night it had been to the horrible news that her eldest Itachi had had a complete meltdown and she hadn't been there to help. Unfortunately, she simply didn't have the ability to be home all at once, but it did put it in her mind that her and Kushina needed to have a talk if the woman intended to go around breaking her babies.

She was hardly the only one she needed to speak to though, and she heaved an agitated sigh, trying to sort out what to do.

"I did! But I was off taking care of some things I can't really talk about."

[one_without_wings]

"...aw" he pouted. Grownups and their secrets. He understood though. "...did you have fun?" he asked, hopeful.

[proudofmybaby]

"The travel was nice, certainly."

[one_without_wings]

"Did ye get the whole stupid hail out there? You sure didn', else you wouldn't say it's been nice. We had hail as huuuuge as tomatoes a few times!" he made the shape of the biggest chunk of falling ice he'd been given to see.

[proudofmybaby]

She laughed softly. "That does sound terrible. It was still tiny hail when I left."

[one_without_wings]

"Uh-huh! It was really bad." his face scrunched up. "At least I was able to train inside, but I like it out better. I went out when it wasn't so bad, cause a shinobi's gotta get used to figthin in all kinda weathers!" Yep, he is going to be great!

[proudofmybaby]

She gave him a wry smile. "You'll get used to things like this I think."

[one_without_wings]

"If ya say so!" he gave a nod, smiling brightly.

[proudofmybaby]

She cuddled him close. "I do!"

[one_without_wings]

He laughed lightly, nuzzling onto her. "Missed ye kaasan~" no place would ever feel as nice and safe as a loving mother's arms.

[proudofmybaby]

"I missed you too. Have you been keeping an eye on everyone for me?"

[one_without_wings]

"Went t'see niisan as much as I could, and I played a great game with older-Naruto, and then smallest-Naruto taught me awesome things!" he gestured wildly. He sure sounded like he had loads of fun. "Oh, and I can do the kuchiyose!"

[proudofmybaby]

"...Can you now. And what do you summon?"

[one_without_wings]

"Uh-huh! Niisan's showed me, 'xcept they're not all likin me yet... but I can summon crows~" oh did he sound proud!

[proudofmybaby]

She was quiet for a beat. "I see. Hm. Well, that's fine."

[one_without_wings]

"...don't be mad with niisan for showin me" he pleaded, large dark eyes set on her.

[proudofmybaby]

"I know he's worried he doesn't have much time but... He needs to take better care. I don't want you in a bed right beside him because you burned yourself dry."

[one_without_wings]

He felt his heart sink at that, shuddering. "He... he's been tellin me to be careful. All the time... Niisan wants me healthy, kaasan. He wouldn't show me anything he knows I can't do." he whimpered. "....an m'not overusin any chakra either. I swear."

[proudofmybaby]

She cuddled him close with a croon. "Shhh, I wasn't trying to upset you."

[one_without_wings]

"..sorry.. s'just.. I really didn' wanna do anythin bad" he murmured.

[proudofmybaby]

"I know. It's okay. I'm not mad."

[one_without_wings]

"Un~ Okay!" he nodded, then from his vantage point... "Oh~ tomatoes!"

[proudofmybaby]

"You boys have no idea how hard those were to get during winter."

[one_without_wings]

"You're the best mom ever!" he hugged her.

[proudofmybaby]

She stilled, then hugged him tightly. "Thank you baby."
