"What's going on? Kushina-aunt isn't home?" Hiroshi murmured to himself after calling out and receiving no reply. He pondered the situation silently after his greeting went unanswered.
After hearing no response from Kushina Uzumaki, Hiroshi slowly walked into his room. He proceeded cautiously into his room after the silence.
"Oh dear, Kushina-aunt really isn't home! This is so strange!" Hiroshi said to the empty house, speaking his thoughts aloud. He voiced his surprise at the empty house.
Then, he sat down on the sofa, gazing at the ceiling. He settled onto the sofa and stared at the ceiling. "I should go to bed early tonight, but where could Kushina-aunt be? Minato-uncle isn't home either!" he thought to himself. He considered his plans for the evening and wondered about his parents' whereabouts.
A house with only one person can feel incredibly lonely, especially for someone who has always lacked a sense of security. The feeling of loneliness is heightened for those who have always felt insecure.
"Hiroshi, are you home?"
At that moment, someone called out to Hiroshi from the courtyard. A voice called out to him from the courtyard.
Hiroshi instantly jumped up from the sofa upon hearing someone call his name. He reacted swiftly to the sound of his name.
"That sounds like...Minato-uncle!" Hiroshi recognized the voice and immediately ran to the courtyard. He identified the voice and rushed to the courtyard.
"Minato-uncle, you're back! Where's Kushina-aunt?" Hiroshi immediately asked Minato Namikaze. He inquired about his mother's whereabouts.
Minato Namikaze, upon hearing Hiroshi's question, said with a smile, "It's alright, don't worry about her. Your Kushina-aunt is about to give birth to Naruto! She's at the hospital right now!" He explained his wife's absence with a reassuring smile.
Hiroshi, after hearing Minato's explanation, nodded with a smile and said, "Oh, I see! That's good. I thought something had happened to Kushina-aunt! By the way, Minato-uncle, why did you come back?" He expressed relief and then asked about his father's return.
"I came back because I was worried about you! And your Kushina-aunt also wanted me to check on you, so I came back!" Minato Namikaze said, smiling and ruffling Hiroshi's hair. He explained his reasons for returning.
Hiroshi, after hearing Minato's words, nodded again and said, "Minato-uncle, you and Kushina-aunt don't need to worry about me. I'm fine! I'm all grown up now; it's time I learned to live on my own. And I have tomorrow off; when I have some free time, I'll go to the hospital to see Kushina-aunt." He reassured his father of his independence.
"Really? Of course, you can. If you have nothing else to do tomorrow, you should go to the hospital. Your Kushina-aunt is probably very bored there all by herself! She doesn't have anyone to talk to," Minato Namikaze said with a chuckle. He suggested a visit to the hospital and indicated his wife's loneliness.
"Well, now that you're home, I'm relieved. But I have to go back to the hospital immediately; I have some things to take care of right away!" Minato Namikaze said urgently to Hiroshi. He explained his need to return to the hospital.
Hiroshi, after hearing Minato's words, nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, Minato-uncle, you go ahead! I'll go visit and take care of Kushina-aunt tomorrow if I have time; I'll keep her company!" He gave his father permission to leave.
Minato Namikaze, after hearing Hiroshi's words, nodded with a smile and turned to leave the house. He left the house with a smile and a nod.
"That back...it's so familiar. Protecting Naruto from the Nine-Tailed Fox...truly a great father's love," Hiroshi thought to himself, watching Minato Namikaze's departing figure. He reflected on his father's actions and the depth of his love.
