[Naruto inheriting both their stubborn faith-fueled streaks was honestly a blessing- it was hard to find the words to tell himself to stay positive, to not indulge the grief he felt at Kushina's loss.
Sure he could put on a smile and remind them all that it was only temporary, that they would be reunited again and everything would find a way to work itself out. But outside of the duty he felt to just do what needed to be done (that he was, admittedly, not doing so well at thus far), Minato was still human. Kushina had been in his life so long that he wasn't quite sure yet how to be "himself" without her there to remind him.]
You know... if you ever have questions about her, or, ah... us, I'd be happy to answer them.
