"And there's Miss Ino from the Yamanaka Flower Shop. She's lively and pretty.
She seems to get along really well with Naruto, too. Sometimes they tease each other when they meet. I've seen her smiling so happily at him several times.
Sometimes they even give each other flowers."
Wait, that can't be right!
Ino Yamanaka-isn't that Inojin's mom?
Boruto's eyelid twitched.
When she was young, she actually had feelings for Dad...
Teuchi continued, "Oh, and there's Sakura Haruno, who's on his team. You know, that cute girl with pink hair.
She's shown signs of it too, though she seems pretty shy about it."
Sarada's mom?
Aunt Sakura!
Boruto felt as though his brain couldn't keep up.
Teuchi wasn't finished spilling the gossip. With a mysterious air, he added, "Actually... I think the Hyuga Clan's younger daughter, Lady Hanabi, seems to treat Naruto rather differently, too."
*???*
Aunt Hanabi!
This time, Boruto really did choke. He hurriedly gulped down some soda before recovering, then stared at Teuchi with wide eyes, his face practically screaming, "You're kidding, right?"
Teuchi, however, took his shock for an ordinary outsider's surprise at both Hyuga daughters falling for the same person. He continued his analysis unabated. "Miss Hanabi is very attached to Naruto. Aside from Miss Ino, she's probably the most forward of them."
Boruto's mouth hung open for a long time.
He didn't even notice when the slice of pork between his chopsticks fell back into the bowl.
Hinata Hyuga, Ino Yamanaka, Sakura Haruno, Hanabi Hyuga...
Those four names buzzed in his head. Each belonged to an important older woman he knew well in the future.
They... had all had feelings for the teenage Naruto Uzumaki when they were girls?
"S-sir... are you sure you didn't get it wrong? Maybe they were just being friendly?"
