Konoha.

After Shinki returned to greet him, his Shadow Clone went back to the Hokage's Office to handle some business.

In just half a day, the materials had accumulated to several more stacks.

Inside the Office, Tsunade and left, saying to Shinki's Shadow Clone with an appreciative look, "You're quite efficient."

The Shadow Clone Shinki, possessing the same thoughts as its original self, nodded with a smile, "Of course, after all, I'm a shadow now! ε-(´∀`; )"

After saying that, Shinki's smile deepened, "Naruto and I were on this mission together, and I witnessed his growth firsthand."

"Master Tsunade, look, I've been Hokage for half a year now, and Naruto has been trained to be a good leader. Isn't it time to pass the position to him? (ノ∇︎ )"

Tsunade: "No, Naruto is not even eighteen yet, he's too young."

Shinki was speechless. "I wasn't even seventeen when I became Hokage, while Gaara from the neighboring Sunagakure was only fifteen when he became Kazekage..."

Tsunade: "Anyway, it's too early for Naruto to become Hokage now. You're not seventy or eighty years old, you can serve for another two years..."

This time, Shinki's attitude was quite firm. "No, I built Konoha's defense system during my tenure and resolved this lunar crisis, so I've done my best... I still have many things of my own to do..."

Seeing that Shinki insisted, Tsunade pursed her lips and compromised, saying, "Alright, I'll go back and discuss it with the old folks in the village."

"By the way, you're seventeen now, it's about time you found a girlfriend."

Shinki: "..."

Do these elderly people always manage to find something to make things difficult for themselves...?

Girlfriend?

I'm only seventeen and a half years old now. In the world I lived in before, that was the time to focus on my studies, how could I be in a relationship so early...?

Shinki: "Okay, okay, I understand, Master, you can go now... (。í _ ì。)"

Tsunade had also reviewed the village's documents and knew that Shinki was currently in a troubled state. She closed the door and left, but couldn't help but offer a final word of advice. "Find a gentle woman as your marriage partner, don't just look at her appearance... beautiful women are dangerous..."

The house of Shinki and Naruto.

After returning home, the original Shinki and Naruto had a simple meal together.

During the meal, Shinki looked at Naruto with a mocking expression. "The matter of the moon is now resolved; it's time for you to fulfill your promise. (σ≧︎▽︎≦︎)σ."

Naruto scratched his head. "What promise?"

Shinki remained silent. "Stop playing dumb. Keeping your word, isn't that your Ninja Way? Ծ‸ Ծ"

Naruto's momentum instantly softened. "That's true, but Hinata suffered a major upheaval. Would it be inappropriate for me to confess now...?"

"You're thinking quite a lot. This stuff just comes out easily. We'll go deliver the eyes to Hanabi later. You just need to sweeten things up, and it'll be done! (o´Д`o)ノ" Shinki said with a determined look on his face.

For the past six months, he has been extremely worried about Naruto and Sasuke's relationship.

They're all so clueless!

We're finally about to get going, I need to give it my all!

Naruto: "I'm bad with words, I don't know what to say when I confess my feelings..."

Shinki: "When you're lecturing your opponents, you have a whole repertoire of arguments. You're not just bad with words, you've practically mastered the Talk no Jutsu...눈_눈"

Although that's what he said, Shinki was also afraid that Naruto would mess things up at a crucial moment, so he prepared a set of excuses for Naruto.

You should just say, "It's because you're so beautiful..."

"Wait, is it just because you're too beautiful? Σ(っ°Д °;)っ"

Seeing Shinki's suddenly strange expression, Naruto asked suspiciously, "Is there something wrong with that sentence? Is there some hidden meaning?"

Shinki waved his hand. "It's nothing, I just thought of an old friend."

Afterwards, Shinki fully utilized his essay-writing skills, crafting a speech for Naruto. However, he then felt that such a confession seemed somewhat insincere, so he asked Naruto to buy some flowers, "The important thing about confessing is expressing your true feelings. Say what you want to say to Hinata..."

Naruto nodded. "Understood!"

Konoha Ninja Hospital

Hanabi Hyuga's Orochimaru's hospital room.

Shinki and Naruto brought back the eyeball that originally belonged to Hanabi.

Hinata kept bowing and thanking them, saying, "Thank you so much, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, Hanabi would have been in danger..."

Shinki waved his hand. "It's alright, I'll help Hanabi put her glasses back on right away. You two can go out now."

After saying that, Shinki chased Naruto and Hinata out of the Orochimaru's hospital room, creating an opportunity for the two of them to be alone.

He then began treating Hanabi's eyes...

Ten minutes later, Shinki pushed open the Orochimaru's hospital room door and saw Naruto Hinata looking embarrassed.

Seeing their expressions, Shinki's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that my confession was rejected?

That shouldn't be the case! Hinata has liked Naruto for so many years!

Did Naruto falter halfway through?

Just as Shinki was completely baffled, Hinata leaned closer. "My sister's eyes..."

"It's alright, Hanabi will wake up soon." Shinki chuckled and ushered Hinata into the Orochimaru's hospital room, then rushed to Naruto's side. "What happened? Why didn't it work?"

Naruto: "She and I were outside just now, and we were worried about Hanabi's safety inside. How could I bring it up?"

Shinki: "Neither of you said a word?"

Naruto thought for a moment, "She did suggest going for a walk in the Park later, but I thought walking would be tiring, so I declined...⊙_⊙"

Shinki: "Are you allergic to romance? (▼ヘ▼#)"

"Hanabi is healed now. Go to the Park with her later, and agree to whatever she says! Then find a chance to confess your feelings. I'll help you out!"

Naruto clenched his fist, his eyes hardening once more. "Don't worry! ୧⍢⃝୨"

Inside the Park.

Naruto glanced at Hinata not far away and stammered, "Hinata, actually..."

Before Naruto could finish speaking, Hinata interrupted, "Naruto, I like you...(´つヮ⊂︎)"

"From a very, very young age, I've been watching you, watching you fall down time and time again, getting back up, watching you warm those around you like the sun, watching you loudly proclaim your Ninja Way..."

"I'm so glad you're sitting with me right now. It feels like a spring breeze blowing across a lake, willow branches swaying, blue sky and white clouds, the water shimmering... beautiful and natural... right? ≧∇≦"

As she spoke, Hinata blushed.

So, Naruto, what's your answer?

Naruto was completely bewildered by Hinata's words.

Before he could even unleash a basic attack, Hinata's ultimate skill hit him right in the face...

This feeling... is actually quite blissful!

I like you too!

As soon as the sound faded, a flurry of Vines shot up in the Park!

Immediately afterwards, hundreds of flowers bloomed on the Vines!!

Inside a hospital Orochimaru's hospital room.

The Shinki, having just unleashed its Wood Release from a distance, stomped its feet in excitement!

So awesome! So awesome!!

It's finally done! The iron tree has blossomed!

Just then, Hanabi on the hospital bed stirred, and Shinki quickly went over to her...

Hanabi opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was a handsome man's face...
