Chapter 264 Clarifying One's Intentions

It was here that Naruto returned after mastering Sage Mode and engaged in a god-like battle with Pain.

In a battle of this magnitude, most teammates would only slow down Naruto's "sword-drawing" speed, but Hinata stepped forward.

This wasn't because Hinata overestimated herself, but because of her Byakugan.

[Seeing Naruto impaled on the ground by Pain's black rods, the once-renowned master of talk-no-jutsu was almost driven to self-doubt by Pain's barrage of words.]

Hinata couldn't bear to watch the person she loved be in danger. Even knowing that what she could do was insignificant, she couldn't stop herself from running forward, just like Naruto had risked his life to save her.

Sometimes, emotions can overcome reason.

Hinata: Because I like Naruto the most.

This time, Naruto finally understood Hinata's feelings, but what he saw next was Hinata being brutally beaten by Pain using Shinra Tensei and Bansho Ten'in.

Hinata used her newly learned technique, Gentle Steps: Twin Lion Fists, but against an enemy of Pain's caliber, that was all she could do.

As Hinata rushed towards Naruto with all her might, trying to remove the black rods from his body, Pain suddenly exerted his strength, throwing Hinata high into the air before slamming her heavily to the ground.

Naruto was dumbfounded. A girl who was originally so delicate had actually challenged a god-like powerful enemy for his sake, while he could only lie on the ground questioning his existence.

When Naruto saw Pain insert the black rods into Hinata's body, he lost all control and went berserk in his tailed beast form.

Naruto, who unleashed eight tails out of control, engaged in a fierce battle with Pain.

[If his father hadn't intervened at the last moment to pat Hinata's head, Naruto would have unleashed the Nine-Tails in celebration of Hinata's "death."]

"Waaaaah~"

On the screen, Hinata was repeatedly knocked away by Pain, but she got up again and again, trying to help Naruto pull out the black rod stuck in his body.

This touching and tragic scene moved both Kushina and Kurenai to tears.

"Son~ If you dare to let Hinata down, I will never forgive you."

This time, Naruto did not refute.

He just stared blankly at the girl on the screen who said she liked him, remaining silent.

Hinata proved with her actions just how much she liked Naruto.

This level of affection even infected Naruto in real life.

At this moment, he was also reflecting on himself, and asking himself if he really liked Sakura.

Could Sasuke be involved?

As we all know, during his time at the Ninja Academy, Naruto always argued with Sasuke about everything.

Sakura likes Sasuke, so he has to win her over. Then he can laugh at Sasuke to his heart's content: "Look, the girl who used to like you likes me now."

Naruto, who was racking his brains, probably understood.

The reason he thought he liked Sakura was probably because he wanted to outdo Sasuke.

That kind of liking isn't liking at all.

At the same time, it is extremely unfair to Sakura, Hinata, and even to himself.

So, why does this happen?

As he was thinking, Naruto suddenly turned his gaze to Sasuke, who was watching the light screen with great interest.

"You wicked Sasuke, it's all your fault."

Sasuke: ? ? ?

"What's wrong with you?"

Sasuke was also dumbfounded.

He was watching the screen intently, marveling at how such an idiot like Naruto could have such an outstanding girl like him, when he heard Naruto scolding him.

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have thought I liked Sakura."

Whether you like Sakura or not is none of my business.

"If you hadn't been constantly going against me, I wouldn't have had the illusion that I liked Sakura."

"I'm the one who's always going against me, you loser!"

If the situation hadn't prevented it, Sasuke would have loved to beat up Naruto.

It's utterly baffling.

Correspondingly, Naruto also really wanted to beat up Sasuke.

"Stinky Sasuke~"

"Last place~"

Neither of them would give in, so they started to butt heads together.

In order to withstand Sasuke, Naruto borrowed some power from Kurama and activated the Tailed Beast Cloak.

Seeing this, Sasuke let out a shout and activated his Sharingan. At the same time, he used Lightning Release chakra to stimulate his body, all in order to defeat the loser in front of him.

"Alright, you two, stop fooling around."

In the end, Orochimaru and Minato intervened and separated the two, thus calming things down.

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

"Mom, I think I can sense Hinata's feelings for me now."

Sitting back down, Naruto's small face was full of worry. "What should I do?"

Seeing that her son had finally figured it out, Kushina was overjoyed. She immediately ignored the fierce battle on the screen and began to whisper to Naruto some methods for pursuing girls.

After the battle, Nagato resurrected everyone using the Rinne Rebirth technique.

However, Hinata didn't actually die, so she wasn't resurrected by Nagato, but rather by Sakura.

Tsunade: This girl named Sakura is quite good at medical ninjutsu.

Naruto protected the entire village from Pain, and the villagers' attitude towards him completely changed.

When Naruto returned after handling Nagato's funeral arrangements, the entire village gathered at the village entrance to welcome this great hero.

Hinata was also there, tears welling in her eyes.

The boy she had liked for many years, the child once considered a monster by the entire village, was now becoming more and more outstanding.

She too will continue to strive towards Naruto's goal.

"Have you remembered everything I've said?"

Under the light screen, Kushina taught Naruto many dating tips.

However, some of the words spoken made Minato, who was eavesdropping, feel that something was amiss.

For example, high-level hunters often appear as prey.

Upon hearing this, Minato kept thinking about it.

Was Kushina playing hard to get by acting like she hated him so much back then?

"Minato, Minato, what are you thinking?"

After Kushina finished giving Naruto instructions, she looked up and saw Minato deep in thought.

"It's nothing, I'm just thinking about when to go to the Hyuga family to propose marriage."

"Dad, there's no need to be in such a hurry."

Naruto swallowed hard, looking at Minato sheepishly. "The light barrier is just that—a light barrier. What if Hinata in real life doesn't like me?"

"Not bad, son. The fact that you could say that shows you've been thinking."

Minato first praised Naruto, then discussed it with Kushina before continuing to Naruto: "Alright, although the probability is not high, what you said makes some sense. Let's put the marriage proposal aside for now and discuss it again after you and Hinata have confirmed your relationship."

Now, he focuses all his energy on Naruto.

Whether Kushina outsmarted him or not is no longer important.
