Smells So Good

"Come take a look! Delicious and beautiful rice balls!"

"Don't miss this on-the-spot clearance sale! You can't lose money, you can't be fooled—you can only get better products!"

I never expected someone in Konoha to be shouting slogans like that. It really can rival my old world. For a moment, I suddenly thought of my old world. Uzumaki Chenhao walked through Konoha, listening to the peddlers calling out around him.

At that moment, Uzumaki Chenhao stopped and came to a rice ball shop nearby, looking at the rice balls displayed before him.

I'm going to eat at their house, so I should bring something, even if I am their adopted son. Uzumaki Chenhao looked at the rice balls before him and smiled.

"Boss, wrap up six of your best-selling rice balls for me," Uzumaki Chenhao said to the shop owner with a smile.

"Certainly, please wait a moment. I'll get you six of our best-selling rice balls, with different flavors. A little of each kind!" the shop owner said with a smile after hearing Uzumaki Chenhao's request.

Uzumaki Chenhao nodded with a smile, then took out his wallet and paid the owner.

"Here you go, young man. Don't worry, I gave you all our best-sellers. Take them home and eat them—you'll definitely want more next time," the shop owner said with a smile as he placed the wrapped rice balls in Uzumaki Chenhao's hands.

"Thanks, Boss. I'll definitely come again next time!"

After speaking, Uzumaki Chenhao carried the six rice balls and slowly headed toward the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze's home.

"Six rice balls are just right—two each. We should be able to finish them, and if not, we can save them. The rice balls from this shop should be really delicious, right? But this is my first time buying them. I'll taste them first!" Uzumaki Chenhao said with a smile as he looked at the six rice balls in his hands.

Before long, Uzumaki Chenhao had arrived at the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze's home.

"Knock, knock, knock."

"Uncle Minato, I'm here!" Uzumaki Chenhao called out loudly after knocking on Minato Namikaze's front door.

At that moment, Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki were arranging food in the courtyard, waiting for Uzumaki Chenhao's arrival.

"Haohao is here. I'll go open the door for him," Kushina Uzumaki said happily to Minato Namikaze after hearing Uzumaki Chenhao's call.

Minato Namikaze nodded with a smile. Kushina Uzumaki then wiped her hands and quickly went to the front gate, opening it for Uzumaki Chenhao.

"Aunt Kushina, I'm here. These are the rice balls I bought," Uzumaki Chenhao said happily when he saw Kushina Uzumaki.

"Haohao, it was enough that you came. Why did you bring food too? I made a whole table full of dishes. We might not be able to finish everything today, so you have to eat more later, or it'll spoil!" Kushina Uzumaki said gently and happily when she saw Uzumaki Chenhao.

Then Kushina Uzumaki and Uzumaki Chenhao slowly walked into the house and closed the front gate. At that moment, Uzumaki Chenhao could already smell the aroma of the food and smiled.

"It smells so good! I have to say, Aunt Kushina's cooking really smells amazing. I'm definitely going to eat a lot later!"
