"Two large cotton candies are ready, please enjoy."

The man said with a smile.

Naruto took the two cotton candies, which were several sizes larger than little Hinata's face.

He shoved one into little Hinata's hands.

"How much do I owe you, sir?"

"Hahaha... it is an honor for my humble shop to have the son of a hero as a customer. No charge, consider it a small token of my appreciation."

The man waved his hand with a smile.

Hinata's expression was slightly stunned.

Son of a hero???

Is he talking about Naruto?

But why would he call Naruto that?

Hinata's pretty face was filled with great confusion.

She was certain!

The man wasn't calling anyone else, and it certainly couldn't be her.

Her father was still at home.

Although he had many great achievements.

For Konoha, he hadn't performed any heroic deeds worthy of such a title!

Therefore, the "son of a hero" the man spoke of could only be referring to Naruto.

"You should take the money you're owed. You spend every day out here in the wind and sun running your business; it's not easy to earn money to support your family."

Naruto said.

Upon hearing this...

The vendor's eyes welled up with tears he couldn't hold back.

"Wuwuwu... as expected of the son of the Fourth Hokage, you truly care about us common folk."

"If the Fourth Hokage were watching from above and saw your conduct, he would surely feel very gratified."

These were his heartfelt words.

When Minato Namikaze was in power.

He treated his subordinates well.

He treated the common people even better, beyond reproach.

He reduced many unreasonable taxes for them.

The money collected from those taxes had been needed for the war, to purchase large quantities of ninja tools and equipment.

After Minato Namikaze took office, he was determined to resolve hostile conflicts both inside and outside the village.

With fewer wars.

The people naturally felt at ease.

They had more money in their pockets.

Life became better.

Simply put.

When Minato Namikaze ascended to the position of Hokage, he was deeply loved by the people.

"The... son of the Fourth Hokage?"

Hinata opened her small mouth in surprise.

Upon learning this shocking news.

She was bewildered.

She recalled her clansmen whispering about the Fourth Hokage last night.

The distance was too great.

Hinata hadn't heard it clearly, so she hadn't paid much attention.

Thinking back on it now.

...So that's what everyone was discussing!

Little Hinata's pretty face shifted from shock to disappointment.

She had originally planned to marry Naruto in the future.

By then, through her own efforts, she would have become the head of the Hyuga Clan.

And changed the clan rules!

Marrying Naruto.

Thinking about it, she definitely wouldn't mistreat him.

To outsiders, Naruto seemed to be punching above his weight.

But... what about now!!

Naruto was the orphan of the Fourth Hokage!

Son of a hero.

This made things a bit difficult.

"Hinata, what's wrong? You seem down."

Naruto asked curiously.

"Ah~ No... no."

Hinata blinked, then shook her head like a rattle.

"Hurry and try it, this cotton candy is very sweet."

Naruto urged.

Hinata nodded slightly.

She shyly took a small bite.

The cotton candy melted in her mouth.

Turning into sugar threads.

Wow... so sweet.

At first, Hinata could still restrain herself a little.

But later, her mouth moved faster and faster, out of her control.

One bite, two bites, three bites...

Soon.

She finished the large cotton candy.

When she came to her senses, she found Naruto staring at her with a smile.

Their eyes met.

Hinata shyly turned her head away quickly.

Afraid to continue meeting Naruto's gaze.

Wow... this is so embarrassing.

In front of him, she couldn't control her eating.

Would Naruto-kun dislike her for eating so fast?

What if he didn't like this about her?

What to do, what to do, what to do?

Bang----

A puff of white smoke.

Erupted from the top of Hinata's head.

Her brain's bandwidth was insufficient.

It crashed.

"I don't mind~ Hinata, just be yourself in front of me. You don't need to hide your true self in any other way."

"It's not comfortable for you, and it's not comfortable for me either."

"I want to see Hinata's true self."

Naruto comforted her gently.

What was there to hide?

They would be an old married couple in the future.

They would understand everything.

There was nothing to be shy about.

After all, it gets easier after the first time.

Practice makes perfect.

"Naruto-kun... are you... are you not lying to me?"

Hinata suddenly turned back.

Her pale eyes met Naruto's.

This was the great courage she had finally mustered!

She wanted to ensure Naruto wasn't lying.

That he wasn't just making fun of her.

She had learned from the elders around her.

That boys generally didn't like girls who ate a lot.

And unfortunately, she was that kind of girl.

It was strange, really.

Even though she ate a lot.

Her body wouldn't gain weight due to excessive calorie intake.

Gaining weight from eating???

Impossible!

Hinata's special physique would become the envy of most women in later generations.

Naruto's pair of azure blue eyes were as clear and bright as the vast ocean.

"How could I lie to you?"

"Do you think I have any reason to lie to you?"

Hinata's delicate shoulders trembled slightly.

As expected!

Naruto was very different from other boys!

This was the boy I liked.

"O-okay, I promise..."

"Here, take it and eat."

"But..."

Little Hinata swallowed.

Her eyes fixed on a spot on the large cotton candy that had been bitten.

"Huh? Are you disliking my leftovers, Hinata? Then I'll just eat it myself."

"No, no, it's not what you think, I... I didn't mean that... Ow, it hurts..."

Because Hinata spoke too quickly.

She accidentally bit her tongue.

And cried out in pain.

My wife was really shy when she was little.

But so cute.
