Ming Jing looked at Kaguya and said in the tone of a caring older brother, "You never really communicated with your children, did you? As a mother, being sealed away by your own sons must have hurt too."
"Shut up," Kaguya Otsutsuki snapped coldly.
"That's why your two sons sealed you away—because you never truly spoke to them." Ming Jing looked at Kaguya, sounding somewhat pained. "After all these years, don't you understand? Your once-happy family was destroyed by this very lack of communication!"

"Those people were awful!" Naruto gritted his teeth, his face full of anger.
"So you chose to consume the fruit.
