[Ino Yamanaka: "Why do I get the feeling something big is coming..."]
[Neji Hyuga: "Lady Hinata, don't do anything rash..."]
[Choji Akimichi: "Yeah..."]
[Kushina Uzumaki: "Wait a second, does that mean... little Hinata is going to run over and save Naruto next?"]
[Shimura Danzō: "Heh, I bet she'll just run away!"]
The footage continued.
"Now you won't be able to move freely..." Pain stared at Naruto.
"Pull yourself together, boy!" Granny Shima called out.
Hearing her, Naruto slowly turned his head.
"No matter what this guy says, you can't just believe him.
You're the Child of Prophecy, the savior of this world!
Jiraiya and the old man both believed it with all their hearts and gave their lives for it!"
"So you're not allowed to lose! If you die here, I'll never forgive you!"
Granny Shima wanted to say more.
Pain promptly raised his hand and sent her flying.
"What a noisy frog..."
"Bastard!!" Naruto shouted angrily.
"It's about time I took you away." Pain reached toward Naruto.
Just as he was about to act, footsteps came from a distance.
Naruto looked up and froze when he saw Hinata coming to save him.
"Ah!"
Hinata let out a cry and struck the ground with one hand.
Pain immediately put some distance between them.
"Lady Hinata!!!"
The members of the Hyuga Branch Family grew anxious as they watched from afar.
"How awful. He used these black rods to keep Naruto from moving..."
Hinata looked at Naruto's injuries, her eyes filled with anger.
[Konoha Anbu: "Damn, are young people this bold these days? Challenging a god for love..."]
[Shimura Danzō: "Foolish. With that level of strength, she thinks she can save Naruto..."]
[Fourth Kazekage Rasa: "I don't know why, but my stomach feels a little bloated..."]
[Ōnoki: "+1, I feel the same way..."]
[Boruto Uzumaki: "So Dad and Mom were this close when they were little..."]
[Ino Yamanaka: "Is this love..."]
[Tokuma Hyuga: "Lady Hinata, why did you faint?!!"]
The footage continued.
"I won't let you hurt Naruto anymore!"
"Reinforcements?" Pain's gaze was icy.
"Why did you come out here? Run! You can't beat him!" Naruto shouted anxiously.
"This was my own decision..." Hinata shook her head.
"What are you talking about? Why did you come somewhere so dangerous?" Naruto was even more confused.
"I came of my own free will," Hinata explained softly.
"I used to do nothing but cry, give up whenever things got hard, and always take the wrong path. Naruto was the one who brought me back to the right path again and again!"
Hinata's voice was firm.
She recalled the time she had spent with Naruto as a child.
"I was always chasing after Naruto, wanting to catch up to him and stand by his side..."
"I wanted to stay by Naruto's side forever. Naruto changed me, and his smile saved me!"
"So I'm not afraid to die if it means protecting Naruto!" Hinata's gaze was resolute.
Naruto listened, looking utterly confused.
The air fell silent, and a gust of wind blew past.
"Because... I love Naruto more than anyone!"
Hinata took a deep breath and fixed her eyes on Pain.
At the same time, she raised her hands and took a fighting stance.
Nagato watched the scene, and for some reason, his stomach felt a little bloated...
The Pure Land.
Kushina Uzumaki watched the video, her face full of excitement.
[Kushina Uzumaki: "Hahahaha, that's my boy! Bringing a wife home at such a young age! I've made up my mind, she's going to be my daughter-in-law!!!"]
[Minato Namikaze: "She's certainly a good choice. I approve too. I'll give the two of you a combination name... super spiral flash arrival howling jet-black arrow!"]
[Kakashi Hatake: "Uh... Sensei, your naming sense is as unique as ever!"]
[Naruto Uzumaki: "Mom, Dad, Kakashi-sensei, what are you talking about? I have to train and become Hokage. That's my goal!"]
[Kushina Uzumaki: "Forget becoming Hokage! Anyway, I approve of this marriage!!"]
[Neji Hyuga: "I don't approve!!!"]
[Hyuga Hiashi: "I don't approve either!!!!"]
[Fourth Kazekage Rasa: "Shocking! After Naruto got married, Tenten received the Byakugan from his wife's family..."]
[Naruto Uzumaki (young adult): "Uh..."]
The footage continued.
Hinata shattered one of the black rods in Naruto's body.
She knew she was no match for Pain.
All she could do was remove the seals on Naruto.
When Pain saw Hinata breaking the black rods, how could he tolerate it?
He immediately unleashed Shinra Tensei!
"Thud."
Hinata's body flew backward, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.
"What's going on..."
Hinata wiped the blood from her mouth and charged toward Naruto again.
But she was quickly sent flying once more.
"Hinata!!!" Naruto shouted anxiously.
Hinata tumbled across the ground in the distance and struggled to get up.
Her face was covered in blood, and her lips trembled.
"Damn it, I can't get close to Naruto at all... I have to think of something!"
Hinata barely managed to steady herself and gathered chakra around both fists.
Without much hesitation, Hinata gradually condensed the chakra around her fists.
"This isn't over. As long as there's even the slightest chance..."
"Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists!"
Hinata rushed at Pain with the attack.
Pain kept shifting, dodging every one of Hinata's attacks.
Pain was about to raise his hand to counterattack when he suddenly froze.
Hinata's fist had struck Pain in the face.
"Good chance, now!"
Hinata rushed toward Naruto and broke another black rod on his body.
"One more!"
"Bang!"
Hinata was blasted high into the air.
"Hinata!!" Naruto looked anxiously into the distance.
The view changed.
In the footage,
Little Hinata was being bullied by three children when Naruto arrived to save her.
Naruto fought the three children, but unfortunately, he didn't have the upper hand.
Even so,
Every time Naruto fell, he got back up. He kept taking hits and kept fighting back.
Hinata couldn't bear to watch.
Soon,
Members of the Hyuga Clan came looking for her and scared the three children away.
"Are you all right, Lady Hinata?"
Hinata shook her head and pointed at Naruto, who lay unconscious on the ground.
"Lady Hinata, let's go..."
"Wait, that boy did it for me..." Hinata Hyuga's face was full of worry.
"Don't get involved with him. Let's go!"
"But..." Hinata kept looking back at Naruto as she walked away.
"Hinata, Hinata! Hey, wake up!"
At that moment,
Hinata blearily opened her eyes, seeming to hear someone calling her name.
"Hinata!"
At that, Hinata slowly rose, but just as she was about to stand, she fell to the ground again.
[Kushina Uzumaki: "Pain, you really are a beast!!!!"]
[Minato Namikaze: "Kushina, calm down..."]
[Obito Uchiha: "Yeah, Kushina..."]
[Kushina Uzumaki: "Sigh, Obito really is the best..."]
[Minato Namikaze: "So have I been forgotten? (ó﹏ò｡) "]
[Kushina Uzumaki: "Of course not, honey..."]
[Ōnoki: "So... are you two here to show off your love?"]
[Fourth Raikage A: "Women would only slow me down!"]
