A Family of Three, Harmonious and Joyful

"Alright, alright, no need to stand around anymore. Your Aunt Kushina made a ton of food today! Make sure you eat plenty!" Minato Namikaze said with a smile to Uzumaki Chenhao after setting out all the utensils.

"Don't worry, Uncle Minato. I exercised for a long time this afternoon, so I'm really hungry now. I'm definitely going to eat a whole lot," Uzumaki Chenhao replied with a grin after hearing what Minato had just said.

Hearing Chenhao's response, the Fourth Hokage and his wife burst into laughter, then the three of them took their seats.

"Alright, alright, let's start eating, or the food will get cold!" Kushina Uzumaki said with a smile to the two of them.

Chenhao nodded with a smile after hearing Aunt Kushina's words, then picked up his utensils and began eating the dishes on the table.

There was no denying that this scene of dining together was incredibly heartwarming. A family of three eating together, full of joy and laughter—anyone would find it a picture of happiness.

"Wow, Aunt Kushina's braised eggplant is really delicious! It tastes exactly the same as before—my favorite. And it's not just this dish; all the others are great too, all things I love," Chenhao said cheerfully after taking a bite. He hadn't tasted his aunt's cooking in a long time.

Minato nodded with a smile after hearing Chenhao's words and said, "That's right. Your Aunt Kushina really put in the effort. She made all of today's dishes by herself, and every single one is something you like. So make sure you eat plenty!"

Chenhao nodded with a smile at Minato's words, not pausing his chopsticks as he continued shoveling food into his mouth.

"Haohao, if it tastes good, eat your fill. Who knows if you'll get another chance to have my cooking in the future? You'll grow up, and when you do, you won't be by our side anymore. You'll be out on missions all the time, and I don't know how long it'll be before you get to eat my food again!" Kushina said, picking up a piece of braised pork and placing it in Chenhao's bowl with a warm smile.

Hearing Aunt Kushina's words, Chenhao felt a strange pang of sadness. He knew that in the original Naruto World, the Fourth Hokage and his wife had died during the Nine-Tails' attack. Thinking about it now really stung.

"I understand, Aunt Kushina. Don't worry, I'll take good care of myself. And I'll really miss your cooking. If I ever get the chance, I'll definitely come back for it," Chenhao said, a faint redness creeping into his eyes.

At that moment, Chenhao's emotions were tangled. He knew that in just a few days, the two of them would be gone, but he couldn't say a thing about it. That feeling was truly unbearable.
