Naruto: Two opponents versus Naruto, Konoha panics!

"Naruto~"

Hinata's lips parted slightly, her voice barely audible.

Ino, however, heard it clearly.

He watched Hinata unconsciously fidget with her fingers.

Her pretty face flushed again.

Ino screamed inwardly.

I almost couldn't resist taking a bite.

How come I never noticed before? This girl is so incredibly cute!

but.

Ino looked up at Naruto on the large black-framed screen.

The way this semi-straight man struck up a conversation made her chuckle.

Hinata thought Ino was teasing her, so she lowered her head and her face immediately turned bright red.

【"that......"】

Hinata ultimately couldn't shed a tear.

"Hmm? All done?"

"Why are you here all alone?"

[Naruto asked.]

Hinata didn't reply, but just stared at him intently.

Seeing her pathetic and helpless appearance.

Naruto chuckled softly and extended his hand. "Let me take you home."

He was very familiar with this matter and often drove Ino and Sakura home.

[It's not too far from here to Hyuga, and we can also stop by the Hokage Building to see the old man.]

Although I still have some doubts in my heart about why it was such a coincidence that I ran into this girl from the Hyuga clan.

However, with a hopeful outlook for the future, Naruto still showed his kindness.

[Hyuga is very strong; Shikamaru himself said so. If Naruto can get close to this Hyuga girl in the future, he feels his chances of turning the tables will greatly increase.]

Hinata stared at Naruto's outstretched hand, remaining silent for a long while.

Finally, Naruto grabbed her hand and pulled her up.

"My name is Naruto, Uzumaki Naruto. What's yours?"

Naruto's smile seemed capable of melting the snow.

Hinata lowered her head, and after a long while, she replied in a soft voice, "Hinata... Hyuga... Hinata..."

Fortunately, there weren't many people around, and it was very quiet; otherwise, Naruto might not have been able to hear clearly.

"Hinata?"

"Do you still remember the way home?"

Hinata looked up, but only stared at Naruto.

She's a very introverted girl.

[Ino said that in such situations, boys should take the initiative.]

"Hmm... Ino will probably like Hinata a lot. Ino loves helping helpless children."

"ha?"

"Naruto with black-rimmed glasses actually saw through it, he has great taste~"

"It's no wonder I love you so much, mmm!"

Hinata is indeed very likable.

Ino crossed her arms and slightly raised her snow-white neck, looking very proud.

Sakura glanced at her.

She whispered to Hanabi, "Naruto with black-rimmed glasses is only half right. Ino actually..."

"Cough cough!" Ino's ears twitched, and then she deliberately coughed twice loudly.

"Come on, I'll show you around; maybe you'll find it."

With that, Naruto gently pulled Hinata forward.

Hinata watched his retreating figure.

The scene from that day flashed through my mind.

But she didn't dare ask Naruto why that happened.

[And...looking at Naruto's back, Hinata felt that Naruto was very strong and resilient.]

"Do you remember anything?" Naruto suddenly asked, turning around.

Hinata quickly lowered her head, avoiding his gaze.

"You're from the Hyuga clan, aren't you?"

Seeing her like this, Naruto had no choice but to change his approach.

"Mmm." Hinata nodded softly.

"I think I remember Hyuga going this way, right?" Naruto asked.

【"yes......"】

Hinata looked up at the snow-covered streets, a sense of familiarity washing over her.

She responded with a soft, gentle voice.

Then, he lowered his head and looked at the footprints that Naruto left with each step.

Holding his hand, we carefully followed the footprints left by Naruto.

Naruto didn't urge him either.

[I held her little hand and we walked slowly together.]

Ino and Sakura also like to do this kind of thing.

Naruto has gotten somewhat used to it.

The moment the narration appears.

Hinata was taken aback.

A wisp of black light flashed across his fair, purplish eyes.

He glanced back at Hinata, who was walking quietly with her head down.

Naruto's lips curled into a slight smile.

[According to the book, this is a girl who perfectly embodies the ideal of a Yamato Nadeshiko.]

"Looking at you this way, you're actually quite cute," Naruto chuckled.

"Hmm..." Hinata had no idea how to respond to that.

I've never been praised like this since I can remember.

Not long after, Naruto brought Hinata to the front of the Hyuga clan's gate.

[Look at the large characters "Hyuga".]

Naruto narrowed his eyes slightly.

It's even more eerie here than during the day.

Fortunately, no one was around.

Naruto certainly didn't want to be surrounded by a crowd after returning with the lost Hyuga clan child.

Although Naruto doesn't care about other people's opinions, and Hyuga might not necessarily show him any disgust or malice.

But... the thought of being looked at with disdain by this group of people dressed in mourning clothes made Naruto a little uneasy.

"Alright, we're here."

Naruto loosened his grip, only to find the girl was still holding on tightly.

After a moment, Hinata came to her senses, quickly released her grip, and took a step back.

"I'm...I'm sorry..."

"You should say thank you, not apologize."

"You're home. I have something to do, so I'll be going now."

After saying that, Naruto left without looking back.

Hinata quickly looked up and saw Naruto waving without turning his head.

Hinata's big eyes sparkled, reflecting little Naruto's image.

[“Naruto… Naruto-kun has grown quite a bit taller and stronger since the last time I saw him.”]

【Wow, that's amazing!】

【suck--】

Hinata sniffed.

[I unconsciously swallowed.]

[“Naruto-kun must have been eating well... and eating his fill, that’s why he was able to grow so tall.”]

[Shortly afterward, with Hinata watching him go, Naruto disappeared into the dark street.]

Hinata couldn't help but recall that reassuring smile.

"Hinata!"

Just then.

A stern voice rang out.

Hinata turned around and saw her father walking out with an umbrella.

Judging from the snow on the umbrella, the other person had obviously been outside for quite some time.

"As an important heir of the main family, why did you act without authorization?"

"I..." Hinata didn't know how to answer.

"For you, for the main family, how many people have sacrificed themselves."

"You should know these things by now."

Upon hearing this, Hinata silently lowered her head, the image of Neji shedding tears flashing through her mind.

[After a moment, Hinata subconsciously looked in the direction Naruto had left.]

[It was as if she could vaguely see that small, yet incredibly tall child, smiling and waving at her.]

Ino Yamanaka: "You can't really blame Hinata, can you?!"

Sakura Haruno: "Yeah, Uncle Hiashi, Hinata is still so young, why put so much pressure on her?"

Tian Tian: "I can't stand it anymore either."

Hiashi Hyuga did not respond to this.

Because he was raised under such pressure from a young age.

The pressure on the main family is not small.

In contrast, the separation of families is not as strict in this regard.

Hinata tugged at Ino's sleeve.

Ino then calmed down a bit.

"Grandpa Hokage, I'm here~!"
