A Warm and Cozy Room

Uzumaki Chenhao smiled and nodded after hearing what Minato Namikaze had just said, then sat back down.

"Did Haohao go training again today? I saw you ate so much tonight, so you must have trained a lot today!" Kushina Uzumaki turned to Chenhao with a smile as she spoke.

Chenhao smiled and nodded after hearing what Aunt Kushina had just said, then replied, "Yes, Aunt Kushina, I trained a lot today. I also feel like I've been getting stronger these past few days, and I have more energy now too."

Kushina smiled and nodded after hearing Chenhao's words, then reached out her hand and patted him on the head.

"Make sure you pay attention to how you train from now on, and watch the time. Don't ever wear yourself out!" she said to him with a warm smile.

Chenhao smiled and nodded after hearing what Aunt Kushina had just said, then told her, "I know, Aunt Kushina, don't worry. I'll be careful. Besides, when have I ever made you and Uncle Minato worry about me?"

Kushina's face lit up with a very relieved smile after hearing Chenhao's words.

At that moment, they both laughed. Then Chenhao tilted his head back and looked up at the stars in the sky.

Days like this are really so peaceful. I wonder how many more of them I'll get. I'm really afraid of the Nine-Tails invading Konoha... Chenhao thought silently as he gazed at the stars.

And so Chenhao and Kushina sat in the yard, feeling the gentle breeze, chatting with smiles on their faces. Soon enough, it was time to sleep.

"Alright, it's getting late. Time for bed. We have to get up early tomorrow to go to the hospital for the checkup," Minato said gently as he walked into the yard after finishing putting away all the dishes.

Kushina smiled and nodded after hearing what Minato had just said, then slowly stood up.

"Haohao, stay here tonight. Don't go home—it's too late. If nothing comes up tomorrow morning, you can come with us to the hospital," Kushina said softly to Chenhao.

Chenhao smiled and nodded after hearing what his aunt had just said, then helped Kushina as they walked into the house together.

"Time really flies. Before you know it, it's time to sleep again. If nothing comes up tomorrow morning, I'll go with you to the hospital," Chenhao said with a smile to his uncle and aunt as they entered the house.

Minato and Kushina smiled and nodded after hearing Chenhao's words, then headed to their own room.

At that point, Chenhao also went to the room he had stayed in as a child. When he stepped inside, he felt a wave of warmth. Even though he hadn't slept here in a long time, his aunt had kept it spotlessly clean.

"Wow, I really have to thank Aunt Kushina. Even though I haven't stayed here in so long, she still keeps it so tidy and neat!" Chenhao said with a smile.
