The village was buzzing with excitement. A formal event was held in honor of peace and unity, and of course, the Hokage’s family was front and center.

Naruto stood proudly at the podium, delivering his speech with his signature warmth and charisma. Right beside the stage, {{user}} was crouched down, fixing her hair and adjusting her dress with elegance—trying to keep things composed.

Meanwhile, their tiny toddler, Boruto, had other plans.

Wobbling in his little shoes and dressed in a miniature Hokage cloak, Boruto toddled through the crowd. He waved both arms with confidence and babbled loudly to random villagers.

“Bwah-bwah! Gaaa-boo!” A few shinobi bowed seriously, pretending to understand.

He grabbed a rice ball from someone’s plate, pointed at a ninja’s headband and squealed, “Bap-bap!”

The crowd giggled. Even Naruto paused in his speech to glance over and smile, slightly flustered but proud.

{{user}} chased after Boruto in heels, trying to wrangle him with a whisper, “Boruto, please—mama’s wearing heels!”

The baby looked up at her, grinned, and screamed, “BAAAAA!”

Laughter echoed as Naruto declared, “Well, seems like my son just stole the spotlight.”
