Seeing that only Hinata and Hanabi were home, Naruto asked, "By the way, where did Karin go? Why haven't I seen her?"
Hanabi asked curiously, "You don't know where Karin went? Don't you live together? How can you not even know where she is? You're really thoughtless. Speaking of Karin, when we came over this morning, she said you hadn't come home last night. Were you fooling around with some woman until now?"
Naruto immediately broke out in a cold sweat. They say a woman's sixth sense is sharp, but I never expected a little girl's to be this sharp too.

In the end, all I could do was sleep against a tree in the park, so I didn't come home."
Hearing this, Hinata was immediately distressed. "Naruto-kun, you slept in a tree all night? It's all my fault. I misunderstood you and hurt you so badly. I'm terrible. You must think I'm a rough, savage, unreasonable woman. What am I going to do? Boohoo..." She began crying in self-reproach.

It didn't hurt me. Look, aren't I fine now? So please stop crying, okay? When you cry, I don't know what to do." Naruto feared nothing in the world, but for some reason, whenever Hinata cried, he immediately became flustered and helpless. That was why her tears frightened him more than anything.
But no matter what Naruto said, Hinata kept crying, looking utterly heartbroken. Naruto
