A night passed.
I had to say, emotions in the Shinobi World were rather simple.
Especially romantic relationships. They were very straightforward.
Take Boruto, for example. At the start of Boruto, he and his peers were twelve years old.
But here was the terrifying part: by the timeline, Naruto got married in April at age nineteen, and Boruto was conceived in May. After ten months in the womb, Boruto was born on March 27.
At Naruto's wedding, we also learned he was the first to get married. The others hadn't even confessed their feelings yet. Those who'd made it as far as holding hands were considered quick.
But the others' children were the same age as Boruto.
Their birthdays were only a few months later than his.
That meant everyone else—including Choji and his wife, who barely even knew each other back then—had to progress at lightning speed and do it like crazy over those few months to ensure their children ended up the same age as Boruto.
Even more terrifying was the man who'd said, "You want me to play dating games with her?" Sarada's birthday was March 31, and she was the same age as Boruto.
In short, romance in the Shinobi World was simple.
And the fact that, among all the tragedies in the Shinobi World, there had never been a "pants-down tragedy" proved the point.

On this very night, Gekko Hayate, the protagonist of the upcoming Shippuden, was about to die at the hands of Baki of Sunagakure.
Uzuki Yugao, Gekko Hayate's childhood friend and girlfriend, had no way to avenge him.
After the Konoha Collapse Plan ended, Sunagakure made peace with Konoha at lightning
