when he heard about the characters in Freedom Planet being scared of cucumbers. He found it amusing that such strong and brave characters could be frightened by something so harmless. He teasingly asked the characters if they were going to run away from every cucumber they saw. However, Naruto also noted that everyone has fears, and it's not something to be ashamed of. He encouraged the characters to overcome their fear by facing it head-on. Naruto offered to help in any way he could, either by providing training or by just being a supportive friend. He understood the importance of having someone to lean on when facing fears.
