Naruto: I exposed famous scenes!-Chapter 85: Hinata’s Confession II, Naruto’s Response !

As if to emphasize the budding connection between Naruto and Hinata,

The screen in the sky continued to project a series of poignant images from Hinata's memories were clearly visible.

[A heavily snowy day. Young Hinata, bullied by three children, was huddled on the ground, silently weeping. It was Naruto who bravely intervened, protecting her and driving the bullies away, despite suffering a bruised nose and a swollen face.

It was in that moment that she encountered such a kind and courageous boy for the first time.]

[On the bustling street, she watched Naruto, ostracized and pushed aside by the villagers, and declared with conviction, "He wants to earn the title of Hokage so that everyone will acknowledge him."

She longed to catch up to him and tell Naruto that even if he never became Hokage, she would always recognize him.]

[During a snowy night, she had quietly slipped out of her home, deeply affected by her uncle's passing.

Fortunately, she encountered Naruto. It was Naruto who gently guided her back home, offering words of comfort and urging her not to cry.

She admired Naruto immensely. Despite his own loneliness, he never shed tears because of it.]

[In the classroom, while diligently studying, her gaze would often drift towards Naruto, who frequently disrupted the class with his playful antics, like the origami airplane incident.

A soft smile would grace her lips. Naruto was so full of life, energetic, and amusing.]

[Deep within the forest, she secretly observed Naruto tirelessly practicing his speed, determined to surpass Might Guy's record. And eventually, he succeeded.

A genuine happiness filled her, and she resolved to cultivate the same unwavering persistence as Naruto.]

[During the Chūnin Exams, risking severe punishment from the proctor, she subtly showed Naruto the answers to the written test, hoping he could safely pass the initial stage.]

[On the training grounds, she stood with her head bowed, clutching a vial of the Hyūga clan's special healing ointment, earnestly wishing for Naruto's swift recovery.

She was deeply worried about his injuries, fearing they would prevent him from continuing in the subsequent matches.]

[In the hospital, she approached Naruto's room with a fruit basket filled with well wishes, but her nervousness overwhelmed her, and she could only leave it outside his door.

She then stood silently by the entrance, offering a heartfelt prayer for Naruto's speedy recovery.]

As these deeply personal memories unfolded, everyone in the square finally understood the profound depth of Hinata's feelings and her unwavering willingness to stand against Pain to protect Naruto.

Because,

She loved the young man who radiated light, the young man who never surrendered, and the young man whose unwavering determination to become Hokage stemmed from a desire for everyone's recognition.

She loved Naruto with all her heart.

In the square, someone around Naruto and Hinata's age let out an enthusiastic whoop,

Exclaiming excitedly: ƒгeewebnovёl.com

"I can't believe Hinata has been crushing on Naruto for like, ten years!"

"Naruto is such a blockhead! Hinata blushes every time she looks at him, and he still couldn't figure it out!"

"Ugh, so jealous! When will a cute girl like me get a confession?!"

Just then,

Kushina gave Naruto an encouraging tap on the shoulder. "Go on, give her a hug."

"Huh? Me?" Naruto was completely taken aback.

The sudden weight of Hinata's feelings overwhelmed him. While deeply moved by her long-standing affection, he wasn't yet prepared for a true romantic relationship.

At the same time,

Hinata, though trembling, hadn't fainted. She watched Naruto's reaction with hopeful anticipation.

Her mind was a whirlwind of emotions.

Would Naruto-kun reject her? Would he offer a polite but distant acknowledgment?

"Naruto-kun... I... I like you."

Taking a deep breath, Hinata confessed to Naruto once more, her voice filled with a mixture of nervousness and resolve.

Naruto swallowed hard and walked towards her like someone in a daze. Just as he was about to speak, the screen flickered to life again.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[On the screen - ]

[Hinata bravely intercepted the black rod aimed at Naruto with her palm, but Pain retaliated with a swift "Shinra Tensei" attack, sending her flying back dozens of meters, blood streaming from her.

Wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, Hinata resolutely ran towards Naruto again.

Immediately, another of Pain's devastating palms struck her, sending her hurtling back hundreds of meters.

Yet, her gaze remained fixed and determined, her hands gathering chakra: "Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists!"

She engaged Pain in a fierce but ultimately unequal battle. Pain effortlessly swatted her into the sky, sending her crashing back down with brutal force.

"Hinata!" Naruto cried out in anguish.

Despite her injuries, Hinata weakly crawled towards Naruto.

"Stop, Hinata! Don't come any closer!" Naruto pleaded, unable to bear the sight, tears welling up in his eyes as he tried to stop her.]

[Even Pain seemed momentarily moved by her unwavering resolve. He questioned, "I don't understand. With your meager strength, why do you insist on fighting me? Why fight when you know you will die?"

Hinata offered a gentle smile, her gaze fixed on Naruto. "Because... because this is my nindō... my way of ninja."

In the next instant, Pain ruthlessly grabbed Hinata by the neck, lifted her high, and then slammed her into the ground with a sickening thud. Finally, he produced another black rod and mercilessly struck her, ending her life.

Witnessing this horrific scene, Naruto's eyes glazed over, his spirit seemed to shatter, and a raw, overwhelming hatred surged within him.]

-------------------------------------------------------------

In Konoha Village,

The villagers who had just begun to feel optimistic about a potential romance between Naruto and Hinata were plunged into stunned silence.

In the future depicted on the screen,

Hinata, who loved Naruto so deeply, would die because of him.

Many were at a loss for words.

Should they continue to hope for a positive outcome, or brace themselves for inevitable tragedy?

Even Hiashi Hyūga himself was suddenly engulfed by a powerful surge of chakra. His daughter... dying in the future...

As a father, how could he possibly accept such a fate?

He desperately wanted to stop Hinata,

He couldn't bear to watch his daughter die.

However, despite the grim future revealed, Hinata on the screen still looked at Naruto with unwavering affection and confessed once more,

"Naruto-kun... I... I like you. Even... even if it means death!"

At that moment, no one doubted the sincerity of Hinata's love for Naruto. She was a girl who loved with fierce devotion, a girl who deserved to be loved in return.

Even the oblivious Naruto could finally sense the depth of Hinata's feelings. He reached out and embraced her tightly.

His voice filled with newfound determination, "In the future... I will never let you die! When you speak your truth and move forward with courage... that too... is my nindō!"

Kushina, watching from the side, was overcome with emotion, tears welling up in her eyes.

She desperately wished she could share this moment with Minato, to tell him what a wonderful son they had.

Across the Ninja World,

Gaara groaned dramatically. "Damn it! Naruto managed to get a confession before I did!"

Kankurō, Temari: "????"

Fourth Raikage grumbled, "Naruto, that brat's got some nerve! Getting a girl to confess to him right before he kicks the bucket!"

Killer Bee rapped, "Yo, bro, I recall, that Hyūga doll, almost took a fall, in our village's hold."

Fourth Raikage kicked him sharply. "Don't bring up old crap! Just shut your mouth!"

Mei Terumī sighed dramatically. "Ugh, watching this video is like being force-fed dog food! This mature lady is still single and fabulous! Is there no justice in this world? Someone find me a man, fast!!"

Ao muttered, "I think Chōjūrō is quite... capable."

Mei Terumī shot him a lethal glare. "Say one more word, and you're dead!"

Kurotsuchi murmured, lost in thought, "This kind of love... it's so tragic and beautiful..."

Kitsuchi cautioned, "Daughter, maintain your composure..."

P.S.: Looks like Naruto and Hinata's relationship took a significant step earlier than expected!

Speaking for myself, as a normal guy, I'd definitely want a girl like Hinata to like me.

Unfortunately, I remain a single entity.

Uhuu.🥲🥲😢😢
