Naruto: I exposed famous scenes!-Chapter 84: Hinata Bold Confession !

In the square,

Danzo completely disregarded Sarutobi's anger. In his current position, what did past actions matter?

Compared to the unfolding images on the screen, his interest was piqued by the appearance of Kushina Uzumaki.

At that moment, the screen displayed a new scene.

[After the Deva Path of Pain finished speaking, Naruto remained silent for a moment.

"I don't know how to judge your actions, but the harm you've inflicted on Konoha Village is still unforgivable. So many innocent people have been hurt because of this, and they shouldn't have to endure such pain!"

Pain scoffed, "Then who will atone for my pain? Today, my goal has been achieved: to capture you and use the Tailed Beast weapon to instill fear in the world, thus guiding it towards peace."

Naruto retorted loudly, "That kind of peace is nothing but a lie!"

Ignoring him, Pain impaled Naruto to the ground with a black rod, preparing to take him away.]

[But just as Naruto was about to be moved, the sound of hurried footsteps echoed through the scene. Then, a figure intervened with a forceful punch, halting the Deva Path of Pain's movements.

"I won't let you... hurt Naruto-kun !"

Hinata then adopted a fighting stance, standing resolutely before Naruto, her gaze unwavering.

"Why did you come out? Run! You can't defeat him!" Naruto urged anxiously.

"I came here of my own volition. This time... I want to help Naruto-kun !"

"Always knowing only to cry, giving up from the start, and almost straying down the wrong path countless times... it was Naruto-kun who always guided me back with his nindo ."

"I always yearned to catch up to Naruto, to walk alongside Naruto-kun, to stay by Naruto-kun's side."

"It was Naruto-kun who changed me, and it was Naruto-kun's smile that saved me."

"So, if it's to protect Naruto-kun... I won't even fear death!"

"Because... because of you,

I like Naruto the most!"

Hearing Hinata's heartfelt confession, Naruto, still pinned to the ground, widened his eyes in disbelief. He couldn't comprehend that Hinata, who always have fever in his presence, had just declared her feelings for him...

"Hinata... you..."]

The entirety of Konoha Village fell silent, every eye fixed on the small, courageous figure in the square.

The girls who were Hinata's classmates suddenly exclaimed in surprise:

"Hinata, you've always liked Naruto? Since when?"

"No wonder Hinata always blushed around Naruto! I thought she had some kind of aversion to seeing him!"

"The gentle Hinata and the energetic Naruto... they actually seem like a good match!"

Only Sakura remained silent, a subtle unease stirring within her at Hinata's confession.

Since childhood,

Naruto had relentlessly pursued her.

Even though she didn't reciprocate his feelings, she subconsciously considered Naruto someone whose affections were solely directed towards her.

But this unexpected declaration sparked a sudden sense of crisis. Someone else actually liked Naruto.

She secretly clenched her fist, her thoughts a whirlwind of confusion.

Kiba Inuzuka wore a smug grin. "Hmph, I knew Hinata had a thing for Naruto for ages! Didn't think you lot would ever notice!"

Ever eager to assert his presence, Shino Aburame echoed, "My observations corroborate this."

Neji Hyūga glanced at the bewildered Naruto, then at the incredibly shy Hinata, who avoided everyone's gaze. Understanding dawned on him.

Hinata truly harbored feelings for Naruto. His previous intuition had been correct.

In light of this,

He felt compelled to step forward as her cousin.

Neji approached Naruto, his tone stern. "Naruto, Hinata-sama is the princess of our Hyūga clan. If you ever dare to hurt her, I will not forgive you."

At this point, Naruto was still completely dazed, his mind struggling to process Hinata's words. He could only nod obediently.

He still couldn't believe Hinata liked him. His interactions with her had been minimal, and he had always assumed she disliked him, which was why she seemed to avoid him.

But the red Hinata... actually liked him.

Meanwhile, the other villagers were equally astonished.

So,

Naruto was actually liked by a girl.

And that girl was none other than the heiress of the esteemed Hyūga clan, Hyūga Hinata.

This was shaping up to be a classic underdog romance – the initially ostracized boy (now with hidden background) and the revered clan princess.

Those unaware of Naruto's true identity whispered amongst themselves:

"Why would someone like Hinata-sama be interested in that Naruto?!"

"The most disliked person in the entire village stole Hinata-sama's heart? He must have brainwashed her!"

"Isn't anyone on Konoha's streets better than Naruto?!"

The moment those three finished their disparaging remarks,

They were instantly struck down by Kushina's swift golden chains, leaving them no chance to react.

This brutal display immediately silenced anyone else contemplating voicing their disapproval, though their gazes directed at Naruto still held resentment.

Kushina smiled brightly and declared, "I think Naruto and this sweet little girl make a wonderful couple. Does anyone have a problem with that?"

Kushina's overwhelming aura pressed down on everyone within the barrier, while Hiruzen Sarutobi outside remained helpless.

Intervening with force seemed inappropriate.

Hiruzen hurriedly tried to reason with her. "Kushina, stop this senseless violence! Otherwise, I can't hand over Kabuto!"

Kushina snorted dismissively. "Third Hokage-sama, if your precious Kabuto can't survive, then feel free to come and try to kill me!"

"You..." Hiruzen hesitated. He couldn't afford a major conflict at this moment. Kushina's sudden appearance had already stripped him of any semblance of control.

He felt a deep regret for failing Minato's dying wish to care for Naruto, allowing the boy to endure such ridicule within the village. How could he possibly bring himself to harm Kushina?

Sighing inwardly, Hiruzen reluctantly chose to turn a blind eye, allowing Kushina to vent her anger.

Just then,

Shimura Danzo, who had been observing the chaos, interjected, addressing the surrounding Konoha shinobi, "That Kushina is murdering people in our village! Are you all just going to stand there and watch?!"

"What a pathetic bunch!"

One ninja dared to retort, "But... but she's..."

"Regardless of her status, anyone who dares to attack Konoha must be eliminated! This is the will of the First Hokage-sama!" Danzo declared self-righteously.

Despite his forceful words, Danzo held no real authority, and no one seemed inclined to follow his commands.

The scene fell quiet once more,

Everyone's attention returning to the unfolding drama on the screen.

However, Hiashi Hyūga's mind was solely focused on his beloved daughter and Naruto.

He had a growing suspicion about Naruto's true lineage.

If his hunch was correct,

The burgeoning relationship between Naruto and Hinata could be a significant opportunity for the Hyūga clan's advancement!

Everything depended on whether Hinata could successfully navigate her connection with the 'ugly duckling' Naruto.

P.S.: Who still dares to claim that Prince Naruto's standing in Konoha is low?

T/N:Yakushi Kabuto's Connection to Orochimaru: Earlier in the story, Kushina explicitly states that Orochimaru resurrected her. Kabuto was Orochimaru's right-hand man and played a crucial role in his experiments and resurrections, including the Impure World Reincarnation (Edo Tensei) technique. It's highly likely that if Orochimaru was involved in Kushina's revival, Kabuto would have been as well, or at least have knowledge of it.Hiruzen's Leverage: Hiruzen wants Kushina to stop her violent actions in the village. Offering Kabuto implies that Kabuto possesses information or abilities that Hiruzen believes Kushina wants or needs, likely related to her resurrection or perhaps even a way to undo it or understand it better.Kushina's Reaction: Kushina's dismissive and even threatening response ("if your precious Kabuto can't survive, then feel free to come and try to kill me!") suggests she either doesn't value Kabuto's life or believes she can handle any consequences related to him. It also reinforces the idea that Kabuto is connected to her current situation.

So, in the context of this Chapter, Yakushi Kabuto is the individual Hiruzen is likely referring to as a bargaining chip to control Kushina's actions.
