A Heavy Heart

"I really didn't expect today to be so happy, but no matter what, my current strength is only enough to deal with those brats. If I compare myself to those powerhouses, my strength is truly like that of a weakling. I still need to seize this time to improve, to improve my strength," Uzumaki Chenhao thought silently as he walked back home.

Currently, Uzumaki Chenhao's strength was that of a Genin, but it wouldn't be long before he could be promoted to Chunin. Anyway, his current experience points were already close to the upgrade stage. If nothing unexpected happened, it would be within these two days.

"I always feel like my whole body is full of power, and I'm getting stronger and stronger. I should be able to advance to Chunin soon. Let's see if I can find a way to advance to Chunin tonight," Uzumaki Chenhao said, arriving at Minato Namikaze's doorstep at the same time.

Uzumaki Chenhao planned to stay at Minato Namikaze and his wife's house for the next few days.

In a few more days, Naruto would be born. By then, it would be impossible to accompany the Fourth Hokage and his wife again. After Uzumaki Naruto was born, the Fourth Hokage and his wife would die at the hands of the Nine-Tails.

"I don't know why, but I feel very depressed right now. It might be because the Nine-Tails is about to invade Konoha. Forget it, it's not time to think about these things yet. I must find a way to advance to Chunin tonight." At this moment, Uzumaki Chenhao moved his feet and walked into the house.

"Uncle Minato, Aunt Kushina, I'm back! Are you home?" Uzumaki Chenhao called out loudly after entering the yard.

At this moment, Minato Namikaze walked out of the house and said to Uzumaki Chenhao with a smile, "Alright, alright, stop shouting so loudly. We are all at home. Your Aunt Kushina is already asleep. She's a bit tired today. Tell me what you want to eat later, and I'll make it for you."

"Oh, I see! Well then, Uncle Minato, I'm not very hungry. How about I skip dinner tonight? I ate a little outside earlier when I was with my friends," Uzumaki Chenhao said with a smile after hearing what Minato Namikaze had just said.

Minato Namikaze nodded with a smile after hearing what Uzumaki Chenhao had just said, then said to him, "Okay, since that's the case, I won't cook either. I'm not very hungry either. If there's nothing else, I'll go back to my room to rest. I'm also very tired today."

Uzumaki Chenhao nodded with a smile after hearing what Minato Namikaze had just said, and then Minato Namikaze returned to his room, lay down on the bed, and began to rest.

"There's only one more day left tomorrow. What should I do? School starts the day after tomorrow. Once I get to school, I'll make those who looked down on me see." Uzumaki Chenhao also returned to his room at this time, sat on the bed, and thought silently in his heart.

As he thought, Uzumaki Chenhao lay down on the bed. At this moment, he looked at the ceiling, his mind lost in thought.

"Time really flies. In the blink of an eye, the Nine-Tails invasion of Konoha Village is upon us! I really hope that I can do something to save the lives of the Fourth Hokage and his wife then!" Uzumaki Chenhao thought silently as he looked at the ceiling.
