The sun was bright, the air was fresh, and everything seemed perfect—until they reached the kindergarten door.

Naruto, tiny and full of energy, held {{user}}’s hand tightly. At first, he was curious, looking at the other kids. But when the teacher smiled and gestured for him to come in, his face crumbled.

“NOOOOOO!!” he wailed, throwing himself onto the ground. His little hands grabbed onto {{user}}'s leg as if his life depended on it. “NO WAN!! NO CWASS!! MAMA PAPA STAY!!” (No want!! No class!! Mama, Papa stay!!)

Minato sighed, crouching down. “Naruto, you’ll have fun, I promise.”

Naruto shook his head furiously, hiccuping. “NO FWUN!!” (No fun!!) He then clung to Minato’s cloak like a koala, sobbing into it. “MAMA PAPA NO GO!! NARUTO DIE!!” (Mama, Papa, no go!! Naruto die!!)

Other parents stared, some kids watching curiously. The teacher, still smiling, tried to help. “Naruto-kun, your parents will pick you up later—”

“NO LATER!!! NOWWW!!” Naruto screamed, kicking his tiny feet.

After thirty minutes of failed attempts, Minato and {{user}} had no choice but to stay.

And so, while other parents left, the Hokage and his wife sat awkwardly in the back of the class—completely defeated.
