This Is Also Part of Training

Hinata didn't actually faint; her limbs were just a little weak and her eyes were blurry.

This put Naruto in a bit of a dilemma. Holding Hinata seemed to make her body even weaker the more he held her. But if he didn't hold her, there was nowhere to put her down and rest.

What's wrong with all the female ninjas I've encountered? They all seem to have a lot of problems.

First Temari, then Sakura, and now Hinata seems to be abnormally sensitive as well.

No way! It's one thing for others, but Hinata has to be corrected!

"Hinata, pull yourself together," Naruto said. "You can't go on like this. Do you remember? We're going on a mission together the day after tomorrow."

"On a mission?" Hinata gasped for breath, in a state of confusion between being awake and semi-conscious.

Looking at Hinata fluffy hair and misty, bright eyes, I was struck by her appearance.

Naruto slightly shifted his gaze, nodded firmly, and said.

"Yes, think about the mission. You don't want to drag your teammates down on missions, do you?"

"I don't want to." Hinata shook her head weakly, struggling to get up in Naruto's arms. "The mission is important, I can't hold my comrades back."

After mentally giving Hinata a perfect score for her Will of Fire, Naruto slowly released Hinata. Hinata slowly regained her footing, marking the first step towards independence and self-reliance.

Hinata is amazing!

"Huh? Don't say such strange things all of a sudden, I'll..." Hinata's cheeks and even the tips of her ears were covered with a blush, her shyness completely undisguised.

"This is also part of the training," he said.

A passerby stood at the back of a secluded alley, listening to the teenagers next door talking about something strange, like training. He was so shocked that he trembled with fear.

How could this be repaired? In broad daylight, under the clear sky!

Tell me more, I love to hear it!

Judging from the boy's patient and persuasive manner, he was clearly a seasoned prisoner. The passerby leaned against the wall and sighed silently, lamenting the decline of morality.

Just as I was feeling sentimental, I heard a sound coming from next door.

"I understand. I'm shy, but I'll try my best to cooperate," Hinata said, lowering her head. "Um... how should we train?"

"Let's start with something simple, otherwise you'll faint again and I really won't know what to do."

The passerby next door swallowed hard, his eyes practically bulging out. He thought to himself, "Was it this exciting before I arrived? I fainted! How dare they be so brazen in broad daylight?"

"Alright then, Naruto, I'm ready." Hinata closed her eyes tightly, her body trembling. "Go ahead."

"Okay." Naruto looked at Hinata, who was blushing, had her eyes closed, and turned her head to the side. He felt it was a bit absurd but also a bit funny. "Trust me, you'll get used to it after a few more training sessions."

"I-I believe in Naruto." Hinata puffed out her cheeks, looking like she was being tortured.

"You're putting me in a very difficult position." Naruto swallowed back the words that seemed to defy the heavens, sighed, and walked up to Hinata, brushing the hair from her forehead.

"Try opening your eyes and looking at me first."

"No... it's too shameful, I can't do it," Hinata said, her eyes tightly shut, as if pleading for mercy.

"No, you can do it, believe me."

Naruto cupped Hinata's face in his hands, and in that instant, Hinata abruptly opened her eyes. Her eyes were filled with shyness and unconcealed panic, and her mouth was slightly open, unable to utter a sound.

In the cool, quiet alley, there were no green vines climbing the walls, and the old walls had nothing romantic about them.

Hinata realized her face was burning hot, and a wave of dizziness washed over her, but there was nowhere to hide. She tried to close her eyes, but her body wouldn't obey her commands.

Although her face was flushed, her body trembled, and her hands gripped her trouser legs tightly, she still felt the pleasure of the interaction. Shyness was inevitable, but she could enjoy the pleasure of indulging.

Making eye contact is the quickest way to understand what a person is thinking.

The passersby inside the next cell pricked up their ears, stunned that they hadn't heard a sound. They couldn't help but stroke their chins and start to wonder just how far the man in the next cell had gone.

How can you expect people to just stand by and watch something like that happen?

That's absolutely inhuman!

Hinata said she couldn't do it, but she was still willing to try Naruto's request. Even though her ears were burning red, she still looked at him.

"I told you, you can do it," Naruto encouraged. "Hinata-chan is the best."

"Can this end now? I feel like I've reached my limit." Hinata groaned, her gaze shifting elsewhere, almost bursting into tears.

"Alright then, let's train again next time." Naruto let go of Hinata's hand and reminded her, "You have to have confidence, you can definitely do it."

"We'll be going on a mission together the day after tomorrow, and we'll inevitably be in contact on the way. If Hinata-chan is still so shy, it might delay the mission."

"I understand," Hinata said softly. "It's all for the mission."

"Yes, it's all for the mission."

The passersby next door were stunned as they listened to the couple's footsteps as they left. It was over so quickly? What was going on? What reached its limit? How could it be like this?

That damn scumbag! It must be a lie that girl told to embarrass him. Why can't I meet a good girl like that? Waaah, I can't even pee properly now.

Before saying goodbye to Hinata, Naruto suddenly asked a question.

Are you going to the Fireworks Festival today?

"Yes, the Hyuga Clan participates every year."

Hinata nodded. After the training she had just received, although she still blushed when she spoke, she seemed less shy.

"So you're going to follow Lord Hiashi the whole time?"

"Yes, if I act too recklessly, my father will scold me," Hinata said somewhat dejectedly. "The rules of the Hyuga Clan are very strict."

"Would Hinata get scolded if she sneaked out halfway through?" Naruto asked after thinking for a while.

"Huh?" Hinata was stunned, her mind went blank.

Naruto just wanted to clarify one thing: Ino was completely uncertain, and he hadn't invited her. It was highly likely he'd participate in the Fireworks Festival as part of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, and would also have to accompany the head of the family.

Hinata is similar; children from prestigious families are all pretty much the same, and they don't have much freedom. But Sakura seems to have to work tonight, so she has no one to ask out to.

If all else fails, I'll just stay home and sleep.

"It's nothing, I was just asking." Naruto waved his hand and said, "I'm going back now, I'll go lie down for a while."

After saying that, Naruto turned and left.

Hinata reached out halfway but then withdrew her hand. She wanted to call out to Naruto, but she didn't know how to start.

Actually, it's possible to sneak out.
