Hinata bit her lower lip, wearing a thick winter coat and a slight rain stain on her left arm. She clutched an umbrella tightly, and the knuckles between her fingers were faintly white.

In the dim light, her face could not be seen clearly.

Naruto couldn't guess Hinata's mind for a while, thinking that something was wrong. Pushing open the door, my hand immediately touched the switch next to the door and opened it with a snap.

A bright yellow light shot out from the entrance, illuminating the square-sized part of the hallway, and Hinata stood there stunned and didn't speak, looking strange and pitiful.

"Hinata?" He asked again.

"Yesterday." Hinata lowered her head and suddenly whispered, her voice soft.

"Yesterday? What happened yesterday? Naruto thought for a moment and said, "I met your sister over there at the snack street yesterday, and she said you're busy these days. ”

"It's really hard to get out on a mission, Hinata."

Listening to the familiar tone, her heart suddenly became a little blocked. It was as if the embankment had begun to burst somewhere, and the emotions that had been accumulating for three months had completely poured out, and there was no way to restrain it.

"I asked Hanabi to say hello yesterday, I actually. I'm not good at all, I'm getting sadder. ”

Hinata looked up, still unable to meet her gaze, she looked at the area of light projected on the ground, sweeping until Naruto's toes stopped at the point.

Further behind is a yin and yang line that mixes light and dark, separating the gate from the corridor. It's raining outside, and downstairs is a furniture store that is about to close down.

There was silence all around, the whirring wind and the damp rain and mist.

Naruto pursed his lips and didn't say anything superfluous, grabbing Hinata's wrist and pulling her into the hallway with a slight force

"Let's talk about it first." He said.

Hinata didn't seem to be out of that state yet, and her eyes were a little confused. Dragged into the hallway, the door slammed shut, and the sound of the rain outside the corridor was completely cut off.

The two men were bathed in bright yellow light, and a small piece of the brown shoe cabinet in the entrance reflected the light.

Naruto took the umbrella off Hinata's hand with some effort, and the knuckles she held the umbrella turned pale and it took a long time to break it all.

Glancing at Hinata, he was still unresponsive, and he was already touching his chin and thinking about whether to take off her shoes.

That doesn't seem like a good thing.

Hinata suddenly came back to her senses, as if she had just found herself pulled into the hallway, and fell backwards in fright. Fortunately, Naruto's eyes were quick and he grabbed him.

"I'm sorry I just said something strange." She whispered an apology.

"Let's change our shoes and come in." Naruto didn't answer directly, and skillfully changed the subject, "Your clothes are all wet, I'll help you dry them later." ”

Hinata was slightly stunned, and hurriedly waved her hand to refuse.

"No, no! I'm just leaving and excuse me! I'm sorry. ”

As he spoke, he bowed quickly and turned around to leave.

Naruto had long sensed that Hinata's state was not quite right, how could he let her go at this time, grabbed her arm with a snap, and said casually.

"The door is broken."

"Huh?" Hinata didn't understand.

"I just closed the door too hard, and the door is broken!" Naruto said slightly embarrassed, "Anyway, you can change your shoes first, and I'll find a tool to fix it later." ”

Hinata couldn't compete with Naruto, so she had to whisper yes, her voice soft and soft.

"Naruto-kun, aren't you going to repair the door?" Hinata was changing her shoes, and when she looked up, she saw that it was Naruto staring straight at her feet.

Suddenly a little embarrassed, and a little blushing.

"The door can be repaired at any time, I just see that your shoes seem to be wet, so I'm a little worried." He said solemnly, but he didn't intend to look away at all.

"That." Hinata's face was completely red, and even though she was just taking off her shoes, Naruto's gaze always gave her the feeling that she was about to lose something important.

It's so weird!

"What's wrong?" Naruto asked, without looking up.

"Naruto-kun can you not look at me." Hinata said weakly, trying to struggle.

"I didn't look at you, there seems to be something wrong with the floor in the entrance, I have to fix it another day." Naruto waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you're busy." ”

Listening to Naruto's almost scoundrel-like words, Hinata blushed terribly, but she was very obedient. She secretly thought to herself, Naruto-kun can watch it if he likes it.

Anyway, anyway. It's just feet, at least there's something to be liked.

He wasn't really shameless, and left after staring at him for a while.

Back in the kitchen, skillfully boiling water and opening the window. Pull the glass door of the balcony open the gap the width of your forearm. As he passed by the sofa, he placed a thin blanket on the Nine-Tails and completely covered it.

Nine-tails didn't actually have that much temper, and after being woken up by a piece of cloth, he just stuck out his head and looked around. Seeing Hinata sitting on the sofa stiffly, she immediately shrank back and continued to sleep.

Oh, stupid human.

It's boring.

Naruto poured a cup of hot water and asked Hinata to cover it with his hand, then asked.

"Where's the clothes?"

Hinata snorted for a moment, then obediently took off her coat and handed it to Naruto. Naruto took it, and he didn't rush to dry it, and hung it aside with his backhand.

He had to figure out something, what did Hinata mean when she said she was having a bad day.

However, Naruto didn't ask directly, he knew that Hinata was good at everything, but his heart was too closed. The first reaction when encountering something is to hide, or to endure it silently.

Timid to the point that even Naruto felt a little outrageous, she was also the eldest lady of the Hyuga family, from an orthodox family, and she was not bound by a caged bird.

If he has this identity, let alone let Hinata Hinata treat him severely, if he can't get Hinata Hinata out of heart disease, he will lose.

The eldest lady is still affected by this bird's anger?

Although Naruto guessed part of Hinata's source of stress, he couldn't say in front of people that that old thing was really not a thing!

This is especially important at this time.

"Have you been stressed out lately?" He pondered his vocabulary and said, "If there's any trouble, you can talk to me." ”

"Nope." Hinata shrunk and whispered.

"Are you sure you haven't?" Naruto frowned and looked at the hard-mouthed Hinata, "It's a bit unkind to even be a law-abiding villager like me." ”

"Huh?" Hinata didn't understand what Naruto said, and her body trembled slightly, "I'm just a little unhappy, I'll be fine in a few days, maybe I'm not trying hard enough." ”

"Huh? What does this have to do with effort? He frowned slightly, stood up and sat directly next to Hinata.

"Huh? Should. It should be related, right? Hinata leaned back slightly, "If I can work a little harder, it may be."

"Just what?" Naruto hits the snake with the stick, he knows Hinata very well, if he doesn't ask quickly, then it's better not to ask! The more times like this, the more you need to get to the bottom of it!

"It's going to get stronger." Hinata said in a slurring voice, her voice getting lower and lower.

"Well, if hard work is useful, what do you want the teacher to do?" Naruto retorted crisply, "Besides, everyone's foundation and talent are different, and they don't have to be measured by the same standards. ”

"That said, though." Hinata was a little flustered and didn't know what to say.

"That's not what it is, that's how it is." Naruto sighed, reached out and patted Hinata on the head and said, "You yourself say where your strengths are?" ”

".Eyes." Hinata said cautiously.

"You also know it's the eyes, the last time I watched you practice, I kept holding on to the soft fist." Naruto said, "It's a bit cruel to say that, but not everyone is as talented as Hinata Ninji. ”

Hearing this, Hinata lowered her head.

"But Hinata, you're different from Hinata Ningji." Speaking of this, Naruto suddenly lowered his voice, and even though there were only two people in the living room, he pulled Hinata over.

As if afraid that others would hear, he whispered in her ear.

"If you practice white eyes, maybe it's even more powerful than Hinata Ningji, so there's no need to keep holding on to your soft fists. If you keep persisting in following the path of others, it is easy to lose yourself. ”

Hinata was so nervous that she froze in place, unable to move.

The warm breath kept rolling in her ears, and every word hammered into her heart like a hammer, her eyes wide open, her nerves trembling.

In particular, Naruto deliberately sniffed his nose before moving away from Hinata, and the slight movement did not escape Hinata's perception, making her cheeks crimson.

"I know."

She had wanted to tell him that she had come early, had been waiting there for a long time, and her heart was so wet that it seemed to rain. Her father didn't care about her at all, and the family stayed away from her.

When it comes to cultivation, no matter how she cultivates, she will always be the one with the worst qualifications.

Even the people she likes are snatched away, as if the whole world is against her. Nothing goes well, and there is no hope for the future.

But the words can't be said at all, and no one will easily say their troubles. Some of the words went around in my head, and when I went back, I was actually halfway calm.

"That's good, hungry?" Naruto got up to help her dry her clothes when he suddenly turned around and asked.

"Not hungry." Hinata shook her head.

"Two servings of takoyaki, and two servings." Reciting a lot of names, Naruto snapped back at Hinata, who was sitting there, and narrowed his eyes.

I guess I can't get enough of that.

Fortunately, his money exists in the sealing space, and Hinata will not be poor enough to eat this little bit of food, so let's eat it in another store. Anyway, it's all here, at least I have to feed her.

After changing to the third store, Hinata was a little embarrassed, and whispered as she glanced at Naruto, who was about to roll her eyes.

"Otherwise, forget it here, I'm going back."

"No way!" Naruto coughed, slapped his chest violently, and swallowed the octopus balls, "I'm okay!" ”
