Unbeknownst to them, somewhere, a girl with Byakugan was tirelessly mending a red scarf.

Just as Hinata finally finished knitting, Hinata excitedly ran downstairs.

"I wove this with all my heart, I think Naruto will like it. I believe Naruto can feel my sincerity." Hinata ran out happily.

However, after running downstairs, Hinata had some regrets. Could Naruto really sense her feelings? Besides, it was getting too late. Maybe she should deliver it tomorrow?

"No, I'll give it to him tonight." Hinata changed her mind again.

"Never mind, let's do it tomorrow." Hinata walked over again, looking a little embarrassed.

[Hozuki Mangetsu: Is it really necessary? Is it really necessary to keep crushing us single people like this?]

[Kakashi:...]

[Asuma:...]

That one sentence has pierced the hearts of countless single people.

Hinata was still wavering in the end. It's not normal to ask a girl who is naturally shy to confess to someone.

"Don't hesitate, just confess your feelings!" A voice rang out from the side.

A little girl dressed in a yellow kimono stood outside, observing intently.

"Hanabi, don't just hide there without making a sound!" Hinata scolded after seeing that it was Hanabi.

Sigh, people in love are really scary. I've been standing here for ages, and my sister still hasn't noticed me.

But this older sister who's troubled by love is really cute.

[Hyuga Hiashi: Who, who is this little girl?]

Hyuga Hiashi some confusion, "She's clearly a little girl, yet she acts like an adult."

[Neji Hyuga: Is she Hanabi's cousin?]

Neji had some recollection of Hyuga Hiashi's second daughter, but he was surprised to find that she had grown up so much.

[Also, you're not going to eat dinner, aren't you afraid people will laugh at you when your stomach rumbles?] Hanabi noticed that her older sister hadn't eaten dinner because she was knitting a scarf.

"I'm not going to confess to him." Hinata said shyly, then turned and left.

"I'm not a child anymore. Besides, instead of giving you a scarf, it's more practical to dress yourself up nicely," Hanabi lectured, speaking with the air of someone who's been there all along.

Watching her older sister run away, Hanabi felt a pang of worry. It seemed these girls' IQs really did drop when it came to the season of love.

How could such an obvious thing possibly fool me Hanabi Hyuga?

[Hizashi Hyuga: Um, has Hanabi been reading too many of those kinds of books?]

Hizashi said apologetically, "Why do I always feel like Hanabi Hyuga is the one who's the most grown-up?"

[Hyuga Hiashi: I don't know either.]

Judging from this, I don't have to worry about having no one to carry on the family line after my eldest daughter gets married.

[Hozuki Mangetsu: Going to Naruto so late at night, won't that cause some trouble?]

What if Naruto wants Hinata to stay overnight, since they're alone together?

[Obito: Ha, you're overestimating Naruto. When you really want to find Naruto, I think you're more likely to go to Teuchi's place than your own home.]

Also, how could Naruto's little house possibly fit two people? I remember there was only one room for them.

Sure enough, Hinata spotted Naruto, Sakura, and Ino as she passed by Ichiraku Ramen.

Hinata initially been somewhat delighted, suddenly became embarrassed.

Note that it's not jealousy, it's embarrassment.

Hinata was originally shy, was even more embarrassed to give her gift to Naruto when she saw so many people behind her.

"Hinata?" Ino was standing nearby, also saw Hinata.

"If you haven't eaten yet, come and join us," Ino warmly invited.

"It's rare for me to treat you today," Naruto said, noticing Hinata as well.

It has to be said that Naruto's emotional intelligence has been declining with age; at this point, Naruto seems to know nothing at all.

Oh, by the way, Teuchi, why haven't my dumplings arrived yet?

However, Sakura was perfectly aware of what Hinata was doing; she had known all along that Hinata was preparing a gift for Naruto, but who knew that Naruto would act like such an idiot.

Where did your perseverance go when you were chasing Sasuke?

"It's Hinata! Naruto just said something good happened today and he wanted to share it with everyone," Sakura, his best friend, chimed in, offering her support.

[Lin: It seems Sakura has changed a lot.]

Sakura used to even say things like Naruto didn't have parents, but now Sakura's helping Naruto pursue Hinata.

[Obito: But speaking of which, did Naruto say what Sakura said?]

Obito said with slight doubt, "I don't remember Naruto saying that, so Sakura must be lying."

The kind-hearted Sakura even gave up her seat so that Hinata could sit next to Naruto.

We're all sisters, no need to be so polite.

Just as Hinata sat down, a group of energetic female students walked up; they were the same female students who had brought Naruto gifts earlier that day.

"Naruto- senpai."

Several female fans immediately surrounded Naruto, and Naruto warmly treated them to Ichiraku Ramen as a return gift.

However, if you go looking for other girls right after Hinata has already done that, you should learn from Sasuke and politely refuse them.

"Hinata, you should order what you like too." Naruto turned around, wanting to chat with Hinata, but was forcibly pulled back by the female fans around him.

"Come over here, senior!" The fangirls affectionately pulled Naruto's arms, Hinata was probably jealous at this moment.

Hinata silently picked up the gift she had carefully prepared and prepared to leave.

"Hinata?" Sakura was still thinking of trying to persuade her to stay.

"Sorry, I'm not hungry at all right now." She then quickly left, clutching her gift.

[Kushina: What's wrong with Naruto?]

Kushina said somewhat angrily, "Although Naruto has become more popular, has Naruto forgotten how Hinata risked her life for him before?"

At this moment, Kushina inexplicably hardened her fist. Should she hit Obito vent her anger? After all, they were similar in personality, and hitting him would teach him a lesson when dealing with Rin in the future.

"Are you seeing them off?" Sakura said to Naruto, sounding annoyed.

Sakura isn't obsessed with romance, actually has quite high IQ and EQ; even at this point, she doesn't forget to help Hinata.

Hinata stopped in her tracks upon hearing this, seemingly waiting for something.

"Me? Send Hinata home? Why?" Naruto thought he had misheard.

Naruto Hinata to go home on her own, so what happened?

[Obito: Hinata is pretty strong on her own, why did you have to send her Hinata?]

Sure enough, Obito's intelligence only reverts to that of the cunning old Obito when Rin is involved; under normal circumstances, Obito is just a carbon copy of Naruto.

[Kushina: Obito here for a second, I have something to tell you.]

[Obito: Okay Kushina- nee, I'm coming right now.]

[Rin: Obito, are you sure you want to go?]

Rin offered a slight reminder, because she felt that Obito might not be aware of the situation.

[Obito: Kushina probably wants to talk to me about something.]

Obito, without a shred of doubt, said, "How could Kushina possibly harm me?"

Obito had no idea what would happen next, just like Naruto was currently clueless.

"Oh dear, it's so unsafe for a young woman to walk alone at night." Sakura didn't know what to say for a moment.

Is Naruto really that stupid? I gave such obvious hints!

"Hinata is very strong; no one in the village dares to do anything to her." Naruto gave the same answer as Obito.

Hinata quickly left after hearing the answer. Her shy nature made her unsuitable for such a situation, and if it weren't for waiting for Naruto's reply, Hinata probably wouldn't have lingered for so long.

"Naruto, you're such an idiot!" Sakura scolded Naruto before quickly chasing after him.

"Why do you call me an idiot?" Naruto didn't think he had done anything wrong.
