"Are you sure, Mikoto?" Kushina asked.
"Yes. I'm sure. You have to quit dotting on him sooner or later," Mikoto responded and took a sip from her cup. "I've stopped with mine for a month now, and he grown up just like his father, manly, satisfying and very big… err… look at how much girls following him around."
"I don't know…" Kushina replied lowly.
She found Mikoto was acting weird lately.
"It's a bit weird for me to do it, don't you think?"
Kushina asked.
"I was like that. Waiting for stupid Fugaku to give Sasuke the talk, but he never did," Mikoto said. "I had to do it myself… and I'm glad that I did."
"But I think Minato is better suited for it," Kushina said.
"Look, do you want to have grandkids before you hit 40 or not?" Mikoto asked and took another sip.
She had been drinking a lot of cream with her coffee daily.
She liked it, day and night.
It all started about half a month ago, and it was a good way to mask other cream and stain on her lips as well.
"Of course, I do," Kushina responded with a sigh.
Her son, Naruto, was the pride and joy.
At a young age, he looked up to his father and wanted to be just like him.
But because of that, he trained constantly and neglected what a boy at his young tender age should be doing – going on date and have a blast.
Having a dream was a good thing, but raising a family was of priority.
That was the reason she returned to civilian life and away from the bloodshed.
"Then you should teach him," Mikoto advised. "If you keep putting it off, it will be too late. Tell me, what does he do lately?"
"I'm not sure… he took off early in the morning and came back home very late, drenched with sweat and exhausted," Kushina responded.
She was too busy with housework to chase after him each day, and the few times she did, she found him sitting in the forest alone.
He was training no doubt. That was all he did.
"I'm a bit worry that he burned himself out sooner or later."
Kushina commented.
"Sasuke was the same," Mikoto said. "Now, he's a shaping up a bit. What is it with men and fighting all the time?"
"I know. There are other things they could do with their free time instead of stabbing each other all the time. He could stab me at home instead. I would like that," Kushina said wishfully.
She shook her head once she realized she was day dreaming.
Mikoto giggled when Kushina wiped her mouth and drained her cup.
"I think I'm going to go have a chat with our esteemed leader," Kushina said and took off in a whirlwind of leafs, leaving Mikoto behind.
The black-haired woman paid attention to her son chatting to a crowd of girls instead of ditching them like before.
When he noticed her, she gave him a wink, causing him to blush profusely.
"Sorry. Can I have a minute? I need to talk to my mum," Sasuke said and gave each girl a hug, making them squeal in delight.
