Going Home

"I never expected Itachi Uchiha to have grown this big—he'll be known as Itachi God in the future! I have to say, I really admire him. To achieve so much at such a young age, he's a true genius." Uzumaki Chenhao looked at Itachi Uchiha, feeling a swell of emotion inside.

"Thinking about it now, I really do feel sorry for Itachi Uchiha. If it weren't for his clan, he wouldn't have ended up like this, making his own brother hate him. I truly respect him now—I have to admit, I used to call him Itachi God myself!" Uzumaki Chenhao silently mused as he gazed at the Itachi Uchiha before him.

"Forget it, forget it. I shouldn't keep staring at him—it's getting awkward. Now I'd better think about where to take Chun Muzi if I find her later!" Uzumaki Chenhao withdrew his gaze at that moment, a small smile spreading across his face as he muttered quietly.

At that point, Uzumaki Chenhao shifted his attention to the hospital entrance.

"Aunt Kushina probably won't be out for a while. I'll just rest here for a bit," Uzumaki Chenhao said softly.

And so, Uzumaki Chenhao gradually dozed off as he watched the people coming and going outside the hospital.

Time ticked by, and about an hour later, Minato Namikaze helped Kushina Uzumaki slowly walk out of the examination room.

"Haohao, wake up. Time to go home," Minato Namikaze said gently as he approached Uzumaki Chenhao, lightly shaking him.

Hearing Minato Namikaze's words, Uzumaki Chenhao slowly came to, rubbed his eyes, and stood up.

"Uncle Minato, Aunt Kushina, you're out. How's Little Naruto?" Uzumaki Chenhao rubbed his eyes and asked the couple with a smile.

Kushina Uzumaki smiled and nodded at his question, then said, "Little Naruto is perfectly fine. He'll be born in a few days!"

"That's right. In a few days, you'll be a big brother! The four of us will live a very happy life together," Minato Namikaze said, gently stroking Uzumaki Chenhao's head with a laugh.

Uzumaki Chenhao nodded lightly at their words, but his heart felt heavy. He knew that in a few days, the two of them would die, but he couldn't say it.

"Alright, we don't have anything else to do today. Let's head home and rest," Minato Namikaze said to Uzumaki Chenhao and Kushina Uzumaki.

The three of them walked slowly back to their house.

"Uncle Minato, Aunt Kushina, you two go inside first. I need to go out for a bit to see my friend," Uzumaki Chenhao said to them when they reached their doorstep.

Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze smiled and nodded at his words, then went into the house, while Uzumaki Chenhao headed off in another direction.

"Alright, nothing else to do now. I'll go find Chun Muzi. I wonder what she's doing at home. I hope she has time to come out for a walk with me," Uzumaki Chenhao thought to himself as he walked toward Chun Muzi's house.
