"Finally party time" Naruto giggled clapping. He was done with his shenanigans for now. He could never convince his mom that he was finally a big boy, but he had a sneaky plan to finally prove to the village that he was worth of being a ninja. Until then he enjoyed his mommy rinsing his hair . The soap was soft and the water cool. He splashed around as his mommy did his hair, having one last bit of fun with his bath.

Mikoto was ecstatic and and almost in tears. Her son wss standing triumphantly. Hero of the village. And yet ......... Mikoto felt strangly empty. She should want her child to be successful but ...... what exactly was she to him now.
