“Could it be because of that monster?”
“…!”
“It was like that when the monster left town.”
“…”
Seeing Hinata’s reaction, Hinabi is sure it’s because of Naruto and shouts out.
“Sister, that monster is the worst criminal in the history of ninjas who started a war! He deserves to die! But why is she suffering because of that guy?”
“Hinabi… stop…”
“I know you’re kind, but you have to be kind while choosing people, that monster shouldn’t have been born in the first place…!”
“Hinabi, shut up!!”
“!!!”
At Hinata’s cry, Hinabi looks at Hinata in great surprise. Seeing that Hinata, who had never been angry before, shouted so loudly in anger, Hinabi said no more.
“Naruto is not a monster… he was just a small, tender child who was weak and wanted affection…”
“…Okay, I won’t say more. But think about your sister’s health too. You haven’t eaten anything for days already.”
“…”
“You’re the next head of the family. Eat your heart out.”
“Hinabi, I’m sorry…Leave me alone…”
“…”
Hinabi let out a sigh and quietly left the room. After Hinata left, Hinata started to shed tears in the quiet room. When I close my eyes, I still vividly remember the scene where Naruto closed his eyes. Hinata finally realized. own heart…
“I see…I like Naruto…”
It was too late to realize. Naruto is no longer there. what if… If there is another chance… Hitana regrets it and falls asleep as if passing out.
“…!”
As soon as Hinata opened her eyes, the first thing she noticed was that something was wrong. The atmosphere in the room has changed. Exactly, the atmosphere is similar to the room I used to use in the past. In addition, the body has become smaller. Hinata wondered if it was phantom magic, so she made various attempts to cancel it, but it only became clear that it was reality.
smart-
“Sister, are you awake?”
“…Hinabi?”
The one in front of Hinata was definitely Hinabi. But too young. It was as if he had returned to being a low-ranking ninja. Hinabi opens her mouth without noticing Hinata’s feelings.
“My father told me to take a day off from Dalian today. He must be tired because he held the funeral of the 3rd Hokage yesterday.”
“what…?”
“So today’s Dalian…”
“That’s not it, it was the Third Hokage’s funeral yesterday?”
“What’s wrong, sister? Did you wake up less?”
Hinata was finally able to grasp the situation properly. I don’t know why, but it means that I have returned to the past. Then Hinata suddenly remembered that Naruto would soon run out of the village.
“If it’s now… I might be able to stop it… I don’t know…!”
“What are you talking about… Huh?! Uh…Sister?”
Hinata hurriedly left the house before Hinabi could finish her sentence. And he started looking for Naruto. According to Hinata’s memory, Naruto’s house was attacked by villagers and severely beaten. Hinata opens her eyes and searches for Naruto in earnest.
“found..!”
Hinata found Naruto sleeping at home. Fortunately, nothing has happened yet. Hinata sighs in relief, but remembers that people are about to attack and doesn’t relax.
“I’ll protect you with words this time, Naruto..!”
Hinata goes to Naruto’s house, takes a deep breath, and knocks. Then you suddenly notice that the door is open. Hinata, worried about Naruto, opened the door without realizing it and entered. Naruto was sleeping quietly there.
“Naruto…”
Naruto’s face was too thin. The house was like a warehouse, not a place where people lived, and it was so cold. As Hinata approaches Naruto and carefully tries to touch Naruto, Naruto gets up, grabs Hinata’s hand, and exhales death.
“what…”
“I…Naruto, it’s me…Whew…Hyuuga Hinata…!”
“…”
“I’m really sorry if I startled you”
Naruto looked at Hinata for a while, then sensed that there was no malice and slowly let go of his hand. However, he does not reap life and looks at Hinata and asks questions.
“What happened…?”
“…”
Looking at Naruto’s attitude, Hinata recalls Naruto’s personality that he had forgotten about. In the past, he was just scared and kind, so he was nervous without realizing it, but now it’s different. Now, Naruto looked like a small child struggling to live.
“Naruto, I’m really timid and timid, so I always regret it later…”
“…”
“But I don’t want to do that anymore. I should have been a little more courageous then… I don’t want to regret it!”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about…”
Naruto looked at Hinata as if he couldn’t understand. Hinata grabs Naruto’s hands tightly. And he blushes and screams.
“Naruto, I like you!”
“…to?”
“It’s late…but I’ll protect you from now on!”
“???”
Naruto unknowingly reaps his life while being embarrassed by Hinata’s completely unexpected confession. And it starts to get very confusing. I know the meaning of the word like because I read it in a book. However, it was difficult to understand the meaning because it was the first time I heard it from someone else.
“Good.. good..?”
“yes!”
“Wh…what do you mean…?”
“In the sense of wanting to go out with me!”
“Chi.. friend..?”
“No lover!!”
“????”
Naruto puts up a lot of question marks with a really incomprehensible expression. Apparently, the lover I read in the book was written that a man and a woman are bound together by the feeling of love and live together. But, of course, everyone hates them, and the villager who hates them… Naruto couldn’t understand that a woman, not a man, confessed.
“…A..the same woman..?”
“I know, but as long as you have love, no problem!”
“I… I’m a monster… a monster…”
“Naruto is not a monster!”
“That… that… so…”
“Me and my lover… go out with me on the premise of marriage!!”
“Eh…Eh…Eh..??”
Perong-
Naruto backs away from Hinata’s unknown spirit, but Hinata gets closer to Naruto. In the end, Naruto’s incomprehensible situation, sudden confession, malnutrition caused by not eating properly, and fatigue overlapped, and his face turned red and smoke came out, and eventually exploded cutely.
“After…after…”
Naruto sits down and loses consciousness. Hinata realizes that she unknowingly ran out of control and reflects on herself. Hinata carefully picks Naruto up and lays him on the blanket. Then he stroked the sleeping Naruto’s cheek.
“You won’t regret it anymore…I like you, Naruto…”
Hinata gently kisses Naruto on the forehead. Then he gets up and starts looking at Naruto’s house. and decide First of all, to change Naruto’s house. Of course, not only Naruto’s house, but also the villagers… And above all, to change Naruto.
“For that to happen, I need to be by Naruto’s side…”
Hinata made up her mind and got up from her seat. If he continues to live in his own house, Hyuuga, let alone protect Naruto, it will become difficult even to be by Naruto’s side. That’s why Hinata decides to live with Naruto instead of Hyuuga. And to do so, he must have the permission of his father, Hyuuga Hiashi.
“Naruto, wait a little bit… I’ll definitely be back…!”
Hinata quietly leaves the house so Naruto doesn’t wake up. And go back to Hyuuga’s house. As soon as Hinata returned, Hiashi called Hinata right away.
“father…”
“Hinata, I heard from Hinabi. Where have you been?”
“…Including that, there is something I want to say to my father.”
Hiashi looks at Hinata for a moment, then gives her a wink to follow her as she enters the room. Hinata quietly follows Hiashi into the room without saying anything. Hyuuga people, including Hinabi, had already gathered there. Silence filled the room for a moment as Hiashi and Hinata sat down.
“Okay, what do you want to talk about?”
“I have a favor to ask”
“Request..?”
Hiashi notices that unlike Hinata, she is looking straight at herself. It was clear from his appearance that he had made a big decision, but he couldn’t figure out what it was.
“Listen”
“I want to be independent, please allow me”
“what?”
“sister?!”
At Hinata’s remark, all the people there are shocked and upset. He suddenly shouted something like that and said that someone else would aim at Hinata-sama, but only Hinata and Haashi quietly looked at each other.
“quiet..!”
Hiashi’s cry finally silenced the room. Hiashi opened his mouth without taking his eyes off Hinata.
“The reason is?”
“I went to Naruto Uzumaki’s house today!”
“…!”
“I want to protect that child.”
At Hinata’s remarks, the voices of opposition grew incomparably larger than before. In addition, voices of concern and anger were heard at the fact of encountering the monster. Hiashi would have been angry and angry at Hinata as usual, but Hiashi could tell. That the current Hinata is different from the Hinata of the past.
“Everyone quiet…!”
“…”
“Hinata, you must know what that statement means right now, right?”
“Yes, I am well aware of it”
Hiashi closes her eyes for a moment and thinks deeply. Then, as if he had made up his mind, he got up from his seat and opened his eyes to prepare for a fight.
“…Okay, then try to defeat me right here and now!”
“…!”
Hinata was taken aback by Hiashi’s words. To be honest, Hinata thought that Hiashi would get angry and absolutely oppose it. Did he notice that he had made a big decision… Hinata quietly gets up from her seat, takes a posture, and opens her eyes while thinking of Naruto with a happy heart.
“Okay, I’ll surpass you…!”
When Hinata got ready, Hiashi was slightly surprised. Hinata had been sparring since she was young, but she always had fear, self-distrust and insecurity in her eyes. But now, one Hyuuga was standing there.
“I’ll confirm that resolution of yours!!”
After that, Hinata and Haashi exchanged votes hundreds of times. Hinata was getting tired, but Hiashi was still standing. Even after the war ended, Hinata could not defeat Hiashi even once. Besides, now, the body of the old days when I was young, I couldn’t move properly.
“Why is that? Is it over already?”
“Heh…heh…not yet…not yet!”
Hinata thinks of the death of Naruto and thinks of the Naruto he saw today. I want to protect it, I don’t want to regret it, I don’t want to lose it. Hinata corrects her posture and prepares 64 pieces of Bagua. Noticing that, Hiashi opened her mouth.
“64 pieces of Bagua…? Didn’t you barely finish 16 pieces..?”
“This is my… will..!”
Seeing Hinata’s spirit different from before, Hiashi nodded and shouted.
“come!”
“Haa..!”
Hinata quickly closes the distance with Hiashi and hits 2, 4, 16, and 32 of the Eight Trigrams. But it stopped there. Even during the war, the limit was only 32 sheets, and with the current body, it is no longer… The moment I thought of that, I thought of Naruto again. Hinata gritted her teeth and forced her body to move.
“Bagua 64 sheets!!”
Hiashi, attacked by Hinata, sits down as it is. Hinata sighed and sat down.
“hahaha..!”
“Chapter 64… to write…”
“Still… I can… still do more..!”
Hinata forced herself to stand up and stance. Hiashi notices that Hinata’s body is already at its limit, but her eyes aren’t dead at all, and smiles.
“I saw your resolution.. Do what you want to do.”
“…!”
“As expected, you are my daughter, Hinata…”
“Thank you…Father..!”
After that, Hinata quickly moved into the house next door to Naruto. Naruto looks at Hinata like that and opens his mouth with an incomprehensible expression.
“Why did you move…?”
“I like you, Naruto!”
“That…a lie…”
“No, I love you. I will definitely protect you..!”
“Ooh…”
“I…I haven’t heard the answer yet…would you date me?”
Naruto’s face blushed at Hinata’s confession and he quickly ran away to his house. Still, Hinata didn’t give up and approached Naruto, and he served me a meal every day at mealtime, so we ate together… At night, he brought Naruto and slept with him on his soft bed.
At first, Naruto continued to warn and keep his distance, but as time passed, little by little, very slowly, he began to open his heart to Hinata. And in the end…
While Naruto was looking at the moon in the night sky, Hinata quietly approached Naruto and held him in his arms. Now that Hinata is used to it, Naruto embraces Hinata without much resistance. Hinata whispers softly to Naruto as he caresses him.
“Naruto, I love you…”
“How come…I’m a monster…”
“Because it’s Naruto, it’s lovable, it’s because I want to protect it…”
“I… I don’t know…”
“It’s okay… until you know… no, even after you know, I will definitely be by your side…”
“I… is it okay to wait…?”
“I’ll really appreciate it if you look forward to it”
“Is it okay if you like me…?”
“I’ll be really happy if you like it.”
