The light inside the tent was too dim to see clearly, and Naruto could only see a rough outline of Hinata, and he could feel that she seemed a little uneasy at the moment.

Hinata was already thinking about himself in his head, and it was all like the plot that I can't hold hands with you quietly behind my partner's back, so much so that she was so shy that she was about to explode.

Just as she was confused, a rustling sound came from her ears, and a hand was placed on her forehead. As if comforting, I touched it lightly twice.

"Hmm"

Hinata, whose shoulders trembled slightly, instantly quieted down, and her eyes were misty.

The next day, the light was still bright.

Hinata opened her eyes, and the place where Naruto's bed was empty, her eyes were empty for a moment, and then she suddenly came back to her senses, and it seemed that she had fainted last night.

She shrunk her body, carefully holding her gradually crimson face, as if she wanted to hide her little self.

The mist in the forest did not clear, and the group hit the road again.

Out of fear of Naruto's fox dog, Shino Oilgirl walked with Inuzuka Ya, separated from Hinata and Naruto by a long distance.

Looking at the distance between the two in front of them and the two of them, Hinata and Naruto looked at each other.

"I should be able to reach my destination today." Hinata whispered.

"Well, do you still need to practice today?" Naruto asked about the extra time that Hinata spends practicing every day, and he didn't come back until late yesterday.

Hinata nodded and said, "If you can't keep up with them, you'll cause trouble for everyone." ”

She looked at Naruto, who seemed to have forgotten what had happened yesterday at all, and didn't seem to have any intention of mentioning it, and couldn't help but purse her lips, her thoughts complicated.

Sure enough, when the group set up camp again, Hinata still left silently alone.

Since it is deep in the heart of the Fire Nation forest, it is surrounded by towering trees, and it is safer to sleep on them than to pitch a tent. Lighting a fire in the old forest is not a good choice, and the four of them can only make do with dry food.

"It should be there tomorrow at noon, so you don't need to rush too much." Shino said, taking the lead in retracting into his sleeping bag.

At this time, the darkness was not completely black, and the teeth also burrowed into the sleeping bag. From a distance, he and Shino Oil's sleeping bag looked like two insects firmly attached to the trunk of a tree, neatly lined up.

Naruto didn't feel sleepy, and went to Hinata with the Nine-Tails by the neck. Anyway, if you stay here, basically Akamaru and the parasite will be restless for a night.

In the woods.

Hinata shook his palm sharply, and a strong wind struck, and the fine blue chakra wrapped around his palm.

The ninjas of the Hyuga clan play melee invincibility and mid-range attacks, and chakra turns into a thin needle and shoots at the enemy. Just like now, Hinata practice is empty-handed, practicing basic skills.

"Hinata." Naruto, who was carrying the Nine-Tails, landed in the forest and walked in front of Hinata in three or two steps.

"Naruto-kun, why are you here?"

Hinata put away her empty palm, and instantly realized that she only wore a quick-drying fishing net training uniform to facilitate her cultivation, and suddenly felt like she didn't know where to put her hand.

Looking at Hinata, who was hugging his chest, Naruto looked away and said with some embarrassment.

"I'll come and have a look."

"Okay." Hinata lowered her head and didn't speak again.

"Anyway, I'm very idle, why don't I accompany you to practice?"

"Ah, is that okay?" Hinata didn't refuse, she always remembered in her heart that she couldn't be shy, and asked in a tone that she thought was as smooth as possible.

"Of course, I'd actually love to stay with Hinata."

"Huh?" Hinata panicked again, and waved his hand in a panic and said, "Where will it be, people like me will only cause trouble to others." ”

"To be honest, I'd love to be troubled by Hinata."

"That. That kind of thing," Hinata blushed even more, "I'd feel useless. ”

"No, it's not." Naruto denied, "It's good to work hard, but don't put too much pressure on yourself all at once. Hinata Ling is actually very strong, but she just lacks a chance to show it. “

"But." Hinata pursed her lips and didn't dare to look up.

"In short, becoming stronger is a long process, and it doesn't happen overnight." Naruto's words were serious, and the person who shouldn't have said this sentence said it without changing his face.

A certain slacker with a system stretched out his hand unashamedly, and patted the top of Hinata's head with satisfaction with the height advantage that has skyrocketed in the past few months.

A few months ago, he had an almost pathological jealousy of almost everyone who was taller than him. Now, he has finally stabilized his mind and gained shameless satisfaction.

Naruto squinted his eyes and smiled, "Before Hinata gets stronger, I'd love to try what it's like to be relied on by you. ”

Hearing this, Hinata's brain went blank for a moment.

When she was a child, her father's evaluation of her was that she was cowardly and useless, as long as she was a person who did not cause trouble to others. So she became more and more cowardly, more and more afraid of fighting people.

For the person he likes, he is even more trembling, always like he is on the edge of the abyss, and he does not dare to make any moves closer. Because she was afraid that she would cause trouble to others, and she didn't know how to deal with it.

Even if the people around her are very good, they tell her over and over again that they are not afraid of being troubled by her, but that is different. The more this is the case, the more she wants to prove herself.

Can. The person she likes suddenly says to her that she wants to try the feeling of being relied on by her.

Although it feels embarrassing, but.

"Ahh

Hinata unexpectedly didn't blush, pursed her lips and smiled, but she couldn't stop her tears. The fluttering is like autumn leaves, and it can't be taken back at all.

"Are you crying?" Naruto's words ruined the atmosphere.

Fortunately, at this time, Hinata had already calmed down, and at this moment, his face was crimson again when he was stimulated by his words, and his hands covered his hot cheeks.

"Ahh I don't, I just."

"Then I'll give you a gift, it's an apology." Naruto said suddenly, Hinata couldn't keep up with his train of thought at all, and before he could react, he had an extra handful of kunai in his hand.

It was an ordinary kunai, except for a special charm on the handle, as if it had been temporarily carved not long ago.

"What is this?"

"A handful of mediocre kunai." Naruto explained, "The tail one is for decoration, so you keep it first." ”

He was also helpless, the system only gave him a kunai of the Flying Thunder God, and if he wanted a second one, he had to make it himself. But he's not good at this kind of thing either, so he can only copy it when he has time.

It can be used, but it is not clear how many times it can be used.

"Well, thank you, Naruto-kun." Hinata carefully put away the kunai and put it into the innermost layer of the ninja bag.

"That." Hinata seemed to remember something, and she looked like she wanted to say something.

"What I just said counts." "Don't cry anymore," he said. ”
