[Uchiha Fugaku: Makoto, I think you're taking this too far.]

[Our ancestor wouldn't do sothing like that without a reason.]

[Uchiha Madara: Sigh… At least soone gets . I had to rge with Hashirama's cells to awaken the Rinnegan, but do you know what happened?]

[His cells were completely insane! The mont they fused with mine, they went out of control and ford his face right on my chest! I couldn't stop it!]

[Uchiha Fugaku: See? I told you!]

[Makoto Ito: No, this is fate! The ultimate connection between them! True love knows no limits!]

[Uchiha Madara: ....]

[Uchiha Fugaku: ...]

Fugaku gave up trying to defend Madara when he realized Makoto was just ssing with him.

He knew that if he argued any further, Makoto would start teasing him next.

anwhile, out in the real world, Naruto sat on the ground, still sulking. But suddenly, his nose twitched twice. Sasuke, who was sitting nearby, also picked up on sothing and turned toward Makoto with suspicion.

"Oi, Makoto! You got food on you? Hand it over!"

Makoto blinked at Naruto's expectant, puppy-like eyes. "What kind of bloodhound senses do you have?! It's packed in three layers! How the hell did you guys even sll it?!"

He then sighed, "Well....I knew you two idiots were gonna skip breakfast, so I stopped by Ichiraku and grabbed so ran to go. Here."

Naruto's eyes sparkled the mont he heard that. "Makoto, you're my best friend! I LOVE YOU!"

Without hesitation, he lunged forward, arms wide open, aiming to give the highest form of appreciation, the ultimate bro hug.

But Makoto calmly placed a hand on his face and pushed him back.

"Give so personal space. Back up."

After that, he handed over the food. Naruto was practically bouncing with excitent, circling the ran like an overenthusiastic puppy.

"Oh! Oh! You got my favorite ran?! Makoto, you're a genius! How did you know?!"

Makoto rubbed his temples. "I didn't. Uncle Ichiraku gave it to for free after hearing I got accepted as the Hokage's disciple."

"Damn, you are so lucky!" Naruto said, ripping open a bowl and inhaling the food like a vacuum cleaner.

Sasuke sat stiffly, clearly wanting to take a bite but too proud to just dive in like Naruto.

He tried his best to look disinterested, sneaking quick glances at Naruto's bowl. But his stomach had other plans.

A deep, loud rumble echoed through the training grounds, completely shattering his cool image.

Makoto grinned at the embarrassed look on Sasuke's face. "Sasuke, just eat, man. I got plenty."

Sasuke turned his head away, crossing his arms. "Hmph. I'm not really hungry. I'm just… eating since you asked."

Makoto rolled his eyes. "Yeah, yeah. Whatever you say. Just eat before Kakashi shows up."

That was all the encouragent Sasuke needed. He snatched a bowl and started eating just as fast as Naruto.

Sakura, on the other hand, sat awkwardly on the sidelines.

She wasn't particularly close to Makoto like the others, and their last interaction hadn't been the friendliest. During a briefing at the Academy, Makoto had bluntly told her she was in the way, and she hadn't forgotten.

Noticing her hesitation, Makoto sighed. As much as he wasn't a fan of Sakura, it didn't feel right to leave her out while the rest of them enjoyed a al together.

"Hey, Sakura, you want so? I brought extra."

Her face lit up upon hearing his words, "Really? Thanks, Makoto! That's so nice of you!"

She quickly took a bowl, joining the rest of the team in their impromptu ran feast.

Thankfully, Makoto had accounted for Naruto's absurd appetite, or the food would've been gone in an instant.

Leaning back, Makoto watched the three of them eat with a slight smile on his lips.

[Senju Hashirama: What a beautiful sight! This is exactly what I wanted to protect! This… is the Will of Fire!]

[Uchiha Madara: Hashirama, do you rember the first thing you said to when you tried to convince to build the village together?]

[Senju Hashirama: Of course I do! Our clans were still at war back then. I told you I wanted to build a village, a safe haven where young ninja could grow up in peace, where they could laugh and smile without fearing war.]

[Uchiha Madara: Heh. You actually rember every word.]

[Senju Hashirama: Of course! How could I forget such an important mont?!]

------

Back at the training grounds, Naruto slurped up the last of his ran and let out a satisfied sigh. "Man, that hit the spot!"

Sasuke wiped his mouth, trying to act like he hadn't just eaten faster than Naruto. "It was alright."

Sakura smiled shyly. "Thanks, Makoto."

Makoto just waved them off. "Yeah, yeah. Just rember this the next ti you guys think about skipping breakfast."

Naruto's eyes lit up. "Wait, Makoto! You still haven't treated us for becoming the Hokage's student. How about taking us out for another al later?"

Makoto sighed. "What about the barbecue we had last ti?"

"That was Sasuke's treat," Naruto said with a shaless grin.

Sasuke scoffed. "You just want free food."

Naruto gasped, pointing an accusing finger. "Sasuke! How could you doubt my noble intentions?!"

"Fine but only if you treat us to al first" Makoto said with a grin.

He clutched his chest dramatically. "I thought we were friends!"

"And friends don't freeload."

As Naruto rolled on the ground in despair, the rest of the team simply laughed, enjoying the rare, peaceful mont together.
