Being a dad means giving your kids courage
"Go on," Sasuke pushed Fugaku to the front of the stage.
"Dad, I can't do this. Why do we even have to give speeches? You didn't have do."
"I know, but Naruto decided to change the rules of the academy around."
"He can do that?"
"Yes. People allow your other father to make life-changing decisions. I don't know why either. Konoha was desperate for a Hokage."
"Dad, I can't this give speech." Fugaku sighed and let his shoulders slouched. He looked so much like Naruto when he did that.
"Yes you can. You're an Uchiha you kind of have to. Unless you choose to follow in your Papa's footsteps and please for the love of Kami don't."
Something in Sasuke's little Uzamaki family rant Fugaku worked up the courage to give his speech. "Dad, I'm going to give that speech. Believe it dattebayo!"
Author's Note: I'm embarrassed at how short this is. I think my favorite line so far in this collection is Fugaku's "believe it dattebayo" he's so much like an Uchiha that I needed to raise Sasuke's blood pressure about something!
