Extremely Cruel

"Alright, alright, what are you two going on about? Today was supposed to be a happy day, but now you've got me feeling a bit down too. Let's just eat, and stop all this nonsense!" Minato Namikaze rubbed his nose and said to them with a smile.

Upon hearing what Minato Namikaze had just said, Kushina Uzumaki and Uzumaki Chenhao both chuckled and began eating the food on the table.

Every woman dreams of having a family like this—sitting at the same table with her husband and child, enjoying dinner together in harmony. What a blissful scene.

Now Uzumaki Chenhao understood clearly that in a few days, the Fourth Hokage and his wife would sacrifice themselves. By then, Naruto would become his only remaining family, and he would never again taste Aunt Kushina's cooking. Just thinking about it made him feel sorry for the boy.

In his past life, Uzumaki Chenhao had been an orphan. Now, here, he had finally found a family, only to lose his parents in the end. It was truly a pity.

But given his own strength, Uzumaki Chenhao couldn't change the facts. All he could do now was make sure Naruto didn't see the world as too cruel—at the very least, Naruto Uzumaki would still have him.

"Forget it, forget it. This isn't the time to dwell on that. Let things take their course. When the Nine-Tails invades Konoha, I'll see what happens—maybe there'll be a way then," Uzumaki Chenhao thought silently to himself as he ate, shaking his head gently.

In the Naruto World, at least in this era, life was incredibly harsh. Countless families were torn apart—losing parents, losing children was all too common.

Uzumaki Chenhao had been sensible since he was young, never causing his adoptive parents any worry. He was very obedient. In this world, knowing he had no natural Talent, he trained alone in his room every day, which was why he had few friends.

And so, the family of three sat in the yard, eating the food on the table. It took them over an hour to finish everything.

"I can't eat another bite. My stomach feels so full. It's been ages since I've had such good food," Uzumaki Chenhao said, patting his belly with a smile.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for feeling joyful. Experience Points +10."

"Ding, host's Stamina has fully recovered!"

Hearing what the system had just said, Uzumaki Chenhao curled the corners of his mouth, feeling delighted inside.

Just like in the games of his original world—spend money and become invincible. That was Uzumaki Chenhao's current state. Even if he didn't train every day, he wouldn't regress, because he had the system. No matter what he did each day, he gained Experience Points and Chakra.

"Alright, alright, you two sit here and rest for a while. I'll go clean up the dishes," Minato Namikaze said, standing up and smiling at Uzumaki Chenhao and Kushina Uzumaki.

"Uncle Minato, let me do it!" Uzumaki Chenhao suddenly stood up and said to Minato Namikaze with a smile. He really was a very considerate child.

Hearing what Uzumaki Chenhao had just said, Minato Namikaze smiled and shook his head. "Alright, kid, you just stay here and keep your aunt company. I'll take care of the cleaning."
