Minato caught the tiny glint despite Itachi's excellent control and his face relaxed, smile coming out in a grin. Fugaku could be a strict father all the other nights.

"Of course. It's important that he's a part of things like this. To help him develop." Setting Naruto temporarily on his feet, where his son wobbled awkwardly in his black bat suit that was intentionally round and as padded as a pumpkin for the most part, Minato tapped at his chin thoughtfully.
"It would probably be better to blend in tonight though. Infiltration. There's no sense alarming people with ANBU showing up on the streets." It was one of the very few costumes that was strongly frowned upon. If a crisis did arise, there should be no confusion about who was who in the split seconds that might matter. Minato looked thoughtful. "It would probably be better if you both came in costume. Do you have something because I've got plenty if not?"
