So Fragrant

"Everyone, come take a look! Delicious and beautiful rice balls!"

"Don't miss out while you're passing by—big sale right here! You won't lose out, you won't be cheated, you'll only get a better product!"

"Never thought I'd hear someone shouting slogans like that in Konoha. It's almost like the old world. For a second, it reminded me of where I came from." Uzumaki Chenhao walked through Konoha, listening to the vendors shouting around him, and thought to himself.

At that moment, he stopped in front of a rice ball shop, looking at the rice balls on display.

"Even if I am their adopted son, I should still bring something when I go to their place for dinner." Uzumaki Chenhao looked at the rice balls in front of him and smiled to himself.

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

"Sure, just a moment. I'll grab you six of the best-sellers, all different flavors—one of each!" the shop owner replied with a smile after hearing Chenhao's words.

Uzumaki Chenhao nodded with a smile, pulled out his wallet, and paid the shop owner.

"Here you go, young man. Don't worry, I picked the best ones for you. Take them home and eat—I guarantee you'll want to come back for more," the shop owner said, handing the wrapped rice balls to Uzumaki Chenhao with a smile.

"Thanks, boss. I'll definitely come again!"

After saying that, Uzumaki Chenhao took the six rice balls and slowly walked toward the home of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.

"Six rice balls, two each—should be enough to finish. If not, I can save the leftovers. This shop's rice balls should be pretty good. It's my first time buying them, though—let's see how they taste!" Uzumaki Chenhao looked at the six rice balls in his hands and said with a smile.

Soon, Uzumaki Chenhao arrived at the Fourth Hokage's house.

Knock, knock, knock.

"Uncle Minato, I'm here!" Uzumaki Chenhao knocked on the door and called out loudly.

Inside, Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki were setting out food in the yard, waiting for Chenhao's arrival.

"Haohao's here! I'll go let him in," Kushina said happily to Minato after hearing Chenhao's call.

Minato nodded with a smile at Kushina's words. She wiped her hands and quickly made her way to the front door, opening it for Chenhao.

"Aunt Kushina, I'm here. I brought some rice balls," Uzumaki Chenhao said cheerfully when he saw her.

"Haohao, you didn't have to bring anything! I've made a whole table of food. We might not even finish it all today, so you'll have to eat a lot, or it'll go bad!" Kushina said warmly, smiling at Chenhao.

Then Kushina and Chenhao walked inside, closing the door behind them. By then, Chenhao could already smell the aroma of the food and broke into a smile.

"Wow, that smells amazing. I have to say, Aunt Kushina's cooking is incredible. I'm definitely going to eat a lot!"
