"Naruto, what was?" Iruka wanted to ask, but he watched Naruto turn back to him. Iruka's gasped in wonder. Naruto's eyes, had they ever been so blue before? Iruka wasn't sure he could remember such a time. Whatever Iruka was going to say died in his throat before he smiled. He groaned as he leaned against a tree. "Naruto, come here," Iruka said, the smile never leaving his face. Naruto narrowed his eyes for a moment but complied and stood in front of Iruka.
