Okay, that makes things a bit clearer 😁
I do think this inner dilemma would deserve a touch more nuance in Naruto's response, for example in contrasting body language and words.
I'd picture the stubbornness mixing with the brattiness for more external questions, but a pitch perfect poker face suits him ill in my opinion 😉

I think I meant to write it as stubborn, if I know the parts we're referring to. But it may have come off as distant if I wrote it poorly. Basically, the way I'm trying to Write Naruto here exsentuates a certain struggle written into the request while also mainly focusing on his dominant qualities in the show. Perserverence, but also impatience and stubbornness as well as a brattiness.

Refreshing read as always, the touch of slapstick comedy alone is enough to warrant the interest (same goes for the Kara x Teuta series 😉)
Naruto always was a bratty character, even if that trait of his never was my favourite 😅
However, the "indifferent" side he shows here I cannot recall, nor can I really see how it mingles with the rest of his character 🤔
I suppose I'll have to wait for the following chapters to offer me some context 😉
