"That’s good! Hinata-chan, why are you standing there?"
Naruto winked at her as he slightly moved his chair back.
Seeing his intention, Hinata furiously blushed and lowered her head.
"Naruto-kun, this is your office."
Naruto lowered his head with disappointment.
"Can’t I even appreciate Hinata’s beauty up close?"
Hinata couldn’t bear to see him in such disappointment, even though she knew he was just faking it.
She blushed, ran to the door, locked it before running to his chair. While she trembled slightly, she eventually sat on his lap.
At this moment, Naruto’s arms wrapped around her waist as he placed his face on her shoulder.
"Naruto-kun!"
Hinata softly moaned as she felt his hot breath on her skin.
"I have been quite stressed these days. Hinata-chan, just let me be like this!"
He said while holding her. He didn’t do anything naughty, just held her like that for a while.
Eventually, Hinata noticed that Naruto had taken a nap in his chair.
This confused Hinata. Naruto was more free than before, so why was he this tired?
She thought about his situation. Normally, Naruto wouldn’t be so tired this easily. She understood Naruto’s stamina.
She looked at the table and found several documents about the Cloud and Stone Villages. The war wouldn’t start immediately.
But its shadow would arrive early. The signs of these two villages gathering their weapons and manpower were enough to tell the situation.
Reading through these documents, Hinata got a good grasp of the situation.
At first, she thought it was because the war could be bad for Konoha. She already knew about her uncle’s situation.
At that time, Konoha had no choice but to give up on her uncle because they couldn’t provoke a war.
As the Hokage’s future wife, she had to look at the situation from the Hokage’s perspective.
Who were present in Konoha at that moment?
Hiruzen, Danzo, who was always eyeing the Hokage’s position, and Jiraiya.
Three people; one of them was thinking of betraying his own comrades. In such a situation, they could only rely on the Uchiha clan.
But the problem was: could they trust the Uchiha?
Although Uchiha wasn’t the main culprit for the Nine-Tails Attack, the Nine-Tails was controlled by Sharingan.
She knew this from her mother-in-law. So, it was hard for Konoha to trust Uchiha. At best, they could be sure that Konoha wouldn’t be invaded.
But outside? Thousands of ninjas would lose their lives.
Thousands! That was a crazy number because Konoha simply didn’t have the strength to fight Cloud Village.
Just the Cloud Village!
There were still Stone and Mist Villages eyeing Konoha. Even though Sand Village was an ally, they would be the first one to betray Konoha.
Thus, Konoha was in no situation to start a war. As a niece of her uncle, she felt sad and angry about this situation.
But just how many people would feel the same way if they started this war?
Of course, she knew this wasn’t a problem for them anymore.
According to Naruto, just by virtue of using Sage Mode, he could condense Six Paths Senjutsu Chakra and pretty much destroy his enemies.
Besides, she also knew about the project Nature Transformation Body Training. With that completed, Konoha wouldn’t lack strength to fight them.
So, the thing troubling Naruto couldn’t be the lack of strength.
Thinking about it, Hinata glanced at Naruto’s sleeping face, and a soft smile formed on her face.
’Naruto-kun has always been a good person.’
So, how could a good person accept the death of thousands of people?
She wrapped her hand around his hand and muttered.
"Naruto-kun, I will always be there for you. We will face death and destruction together."
Naruto didn’t hear her. He continued sleeping for an hour.
After an hour, he finally opened his eyes and yawned.
Only then did he realize Hinata was sitting on his lap. His eyes widened as he apologized.
"I’m sorry, Hinata! I didn’t..."
"Shh!"
Hinata placed her finger on his lips and said.
"I will always be there to be your pillow, Naruto-kun."
Her words swept away all the gloom and negativity in his heart. He paused for a moment before smiling brightly.
"Thank you, Hinata-chan! Thank you for everything!"
’Thank you for loving me, Hinata-chan!’
He kept those words in his heart. Maybe, just maybe, if he had seen this earlier, he wouldn’t have felt so lonely in the past.
’Then again, I was quite stupid. I would’ve only made things worse.’
He shook his head.
Danzo, Third Hokage, Hyuga Clan- there were too many concerns. Although it was lonely, at least it kept Hinata safe.
He clenched his fists, lifting Hinata as he stood.
"Hinata, we’ll always be together."
He said as he placed her on the table.
Hinata smiled, wrapping her arms around his neck as she nodded.
"Yes, Naruto-kun!"
"You are no longer blushing like before."
Naruto chuckled.
"Aunt Kushina taught me to be a brave person. I want to be just like her."
Hinata said.
Suddenly, Naruto’s lips twitched as he thought of his mother with her hair floating behind her.
"Umm! I think you are the best the way you are now, Hinata."
He understood why he couldn’t get together with Sakura. She and his mother were the same.
The problem was that his personality was also similar.
Of course, Sakura could get shy, but only around Sasuke. Hinata was the same, but she had the gentleness from inside.
This was the complete opposite of his restless heart.
Fortunately, his parents weren’t listening outside every second; otherwise, Kushina would’ve been furious.
"Is that so?"
Hinata murmured, thinking about her father-in-law’s personality, and smiled.
Yes, she shouldn’t imitate her mother-in-law. That would make her a violent woman. Instead, she should imitate her father-in-law.
Gentle and kind to everyone around her, extremely loving to her lover, and ruthless towards her enemies.
At this moment, Naruto leaned forward and took a peck on her lips. After he moved his head back, he licked his lips and said.
"Hinata, if you keep this pose, I can’t hold back for much longer."
