Discussion: How the Nine-Tails Lead the Naruto

(The plot of the special episode has nothing to do with the main text)

Naruto stood in front of a stall, stroking his chin and looking at the accessories on the stall, looking confused.

"Naruto?" Shikamaru came to Naruto and looked at him strangely, "Today, the Chinese Valentine's Day, why aren't you going to accompany Hinata here?"

"Shikamaru, it's you." Naruto chuckled, and then distress appeared on the road, "Actually, I plan to buy Hinata a gift, but I don't know what to buy."

Now that the ninja world is peaceful, Konoha is becoming more and more prosperous. The 17-year-old Naruto is learning about ninjas. He will take the Jonin exam in a while. After completing the Jonin exam, he will start training as Hokage.

Today is the Chinese Valentine's Day, and Iruka-sensei gave himself a day off just to hang out with Hinata.

Who knows, but I got stuck in choosing a gift.

Naruto looked at Shikamaru very distressed: "Shikamaru, what gift do you usually give Temari on Tanabata Festival?"

Shikamaru, who was just out for shopping, was numb. He scratched the back of his head and said, "Temari is still in Suna Ninja Village now. Even if I want to give her a gift, I can't give it to her. Besides, Temari came to Konoha at this time last year. Find me."

With his IQ, he could choose a gift, even if he was afraid of trouble, but he didn't need to choose, because Temari would come over and catch him asking for the gift, and then he would just have to pay.

"What should we do?" Naruto was helpless.

He only confirmed his relationship with Hinata last year, and he has been studying all the time, so he didn't have much chance to give Hinata a gift. This year, he wanted to give Hinata one during the Chinese Valentine's Day, but he didn't know what Hinata liked.

From memory, Hinata seems to like everything, so until now, Naruto doesn't know what Hinata likes.

It turned out that Hinata knew her hobbies very accurately.

"You can give yourself to her, Hinata will be very happy." Shikamaru said very unscrupulously.

Naruto rolled his eyes: "I do, but Hinata will definitely faint."

"I'm talking about the kunai you used or something else." Shikamaru looked at Naruto with an unknown smile, "What are you talking about?"

Naruto:"……"

"That's what I said." Naruto looked upright.

"Oh?" Shikamaru chuckled, then waved and left, "You make your own choice, I'm going to wait for Temari. According to her habit, she will be here soon."

"Can't you help me choose?" Naruto's face was full of resentment.

"It's too troublesome." Shikamaru said without turning around: "Or...if Temari gets mad later and you take the beating for me, I will help you."

"Have a nice trip." Naruto waved goodbye.

After bidding farewell to the unreliable Shikamaru, Naruto walked alone on the road with his head in his arms. From time to time, beautiful young ladies wanted to come up and talk to Naruto, but Naruto politely refused them all.

To be honest, this kind of enthusiasm made Naruto very uncomfortable. Although he was very happy, he had been treated like that since he was a child.

But... everything is developing in a good direction.

"That guy Jiulama is also having fun playing games now, isn't he?" Naruto laughed subconsciously, his whole body as warm as sunshine.

Several girls who kept peeking at him couldn't help but scream, and one girl even fainted.

Naruto was helpless.

Alas, being too charming is also a mistake.

Just thinking like this, Naruto suddenly saw Neji in front of him. The next second his eyes lit up and he waved forward without hesitation: "Neji!"

Neji, who was standing at the door of the store with a gentle face, heard Naruto's voice and turned to look: "Naruto."

Naruto came to Ningci's side and said with a smile: "Ningji, did you come out alone to choose a gift for Tenten? Have you chosen it? Can you show it to me?"

"Um..." A flash of red flashed across Neji's face, "No, I came out with Tenten."

Naruto was stunned.

Almost at the same time, a good-looking girl jumped out of the store next to her, hugged Ningji's arm without saying a word, and looked at Naruto warily: "Naruto, you can't even try to drag Neji to practice. , today is Chinese Valentine’s Day! He must spend it with me!”

Naruto:"……"

"Tiantian..." Neji was also a little helpless, but his face was more doting, "Naruto and I just met suddenly."

Tiantian was stunned and looked a little suspicious: "Really?"

He looked at Tiantian with tears in his eyes: "Am I that kind of person?"

Although before, he often asked Neci to help him practice, although he often competed with Neci, although he would ask Neci for help from time to time... Well, today, absolutely not!Naruto swears by his integrity!

Seeing Naruto's righteous face, Tiantian couldn't help but laugh: "You still have moral integrity, you? You and Hinata are living together, how can you talk about moral integrity? Who are you kidding?"

Neji was helpless: "Tiantian, as a girl, you should pay more attention to your words and deeds."

"That's not what you said in bed last night." Tenten puffed up his face and stared at Neji angrily.

Neji: "..."

Naruto broke into a cold sweat: "...Sorry for bothering you."

Tiantian immediately covered her mouth in surprise: "No way? Didn't you and Hinata start from last year... and you still haven't? Hmm~"

Even Neji was a little surprised.

Naruto looked at the two of them expressionlessly, and directly handed over his hands: "Goodbye!"

After saying that, his figure turned into a golden light and disappeared.

"Use the Flying Thunder God to escape, Naruto." Neji shook his head helplessly.

Tenten held his hand with a look of curiosity on his face: "Naruto and Hinata aren't really married yet, are they? Aren't they going to get married next year? Are they going to have such a ritual... on their wedding day? Naruto Can you bear it?"

Neji rolled his eyes... Oh, he was rolling his eyes: "I believe Naruto can endure it as well as me, but I didn't expect that Miss Hinata didn't move either."

"After all, not everyone is as bold as me." Tenten pushed back against Neji and proudly puffed up his chest.

Neji's old face turned red, and he coughed dryly and stopped talking.

Speaking between the two, Naruto wiped off a cold sweat and walked out of the side path: "As expected, Hinata is still gentle. It's just that after practicing medical ninjutsu with Sakura and Ino every day, her words have become more and more bold."

We are all adults, and it's okay to speak boldly, but these women went too far with their boldness.

I heard from Hinata that the last time I saw Sakura, Ino and Tenten when I was shopping for groceries, the three of them actually taught Hinata the correct reverse push posture, which Naruto couldn't do at that time.

It's too wild and can't be messed with.

Sighing, Naruto continued shopping, but as soon as he took two steps, two familiar figures walked over from a distance.

It's Sasuke and Sakura.

Sakura held Sasuke's right hand with a happy face on her face, and Sasuke showed no resistance on his face. Instead, he walked with Sakura very calmly until he saw Naruto.

Sakura greeted her first: "Naruto, why are you walking around here alone without Hinata?"

"Naruto." Sasuke nodded.

Naruto nodded to Sasuke, and then answered Sakura's question with a wry smile: "I just came out of the ninja school. I want to buy Hinata a gift or something for her, but I don't know what to buy."

"That's it." Sakura thought for a while and said, "You can buy her a doll. I heard from Hanabi that Hinata seems to like dolls."

Naruto's eyes lit up: "Really?"

"Really." Sakura nodded, and then she seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly said, "Don't buy Nine Lama's dolls!"

"Um...how did you know you wanted to buy Jiulama's doll?" Naruto rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment.

"Nonsense." Sakura rolled her eyes, "Although the Kurama doll looks cute, I don't like it when I think of what he does. You are the only one among us who likes the Kurama doll. "

Since the end of the Fourth Ninja War, Kurama's originally majestic tailed beast image has completely collapsed, becoming a thorn in the hearts of everyone in Konoha that cannot be removed.

After all, no one would have thought that the legendary Nine Lamas who could destroy heaven and earth would actually... look like that. It can only be said that their faith has collapsed, and they feel worthless for the ninja who died in the Nine-Tails Rebellion more than ten years ago.

Being killed by something like that is truly a lifelong shame.

"Kuro Lama is very cute." Naruto probably knew what Sakura meant. He said good things for Kurama, but in his heart he passed this choice without hesitation.

"I agree with this." Sasuke, who had been silent, nodded in agreement.

Sakura grabbed Sasuke's arm angrily: "You still have the nerve to say it. I told you to stay away from the Nine Lamas but you didn't listen. In the end, you were deceived by him."

When he thought of this, the corners of Sasuke's eyes couldn't help but twitch, and the dark purple six magatama samsara eyes appeared in his eyes, but they closed after a moment.

He sighed: "You're right Sakura, I'd better stay away from him in the future."

Naruto laughed awkwardly next to him. In order to avoid having old scores brought out, he chose to run away: "Well, I still have to choose a gift for Hinata, so I'll take the first step."

"Let's compete again if we have a chance." After saying that, he disappeared from the spot.

Sasuke and Sakura looked at each other, and then smiled at the same time. Sasuke smiled more reservedly, while Sakura covered her mouth and narrowed her eyes.

Or above Shadow Rock, Naruto sat on his father's head, looking down with a troubled face.

The next second, with a flash of golden light, the figures of Minato and Kushina appeared at the same time.

They were both stunned for a moment when they saw Naruto.

Kushina took a step forward and came to Naruto: "Naruto? Why don't you go sit with Hinata on your father's head during the Chinese Valentine's Day?"

"Ahem...yes, on the head of my stone statue." Minato corrected

"Mom and Dad?" Naruto laughed sadly, "I want to choose a gift for Hinata, but I don't know why I'm being cowardly. Sakura told me that Hinata might like dolls, so I thought about what to give her. Give her a doll that looks like this.”

"Ku Lama's doll." Kushina said without hesitation.

Naruto's eyes lit up and he nodded in agreement: "Right, right? I just said that Nine Lama's dolls are obviously so beautiful!"

"That's right." Kushina nodded angrily.

In the eyes of the mother and son, Jiulama's doll is cute and cute. How could anyone not like it?

The fact is that no one except the two of them likes the Nine Lama dolls, which is very true.

"Kushina." Minato came to Naruto's other side helplessly.

Kushina stuck out her tongue very cutely.

Seeing this scene, Naruto couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "Please show your affection to another place and thank me. There is no need to show off like this in front of your son."

"We didn't mean to show off." Minato smiled and came to Naruto's side. Kushina on the other side also sat down, and the two of them smiled very gently.

Kushina stretched out one hand and hugged Naruto: "Naruto, do you still remember why you gave Hinata the gift?"

"Of course it's to make Hinata happy," Naruto replied without thinking.

"Then do you think Hinata will be happy now?" Minato asked.

"Um..." Naruto was stunned, "This... I don't know."

"Yes." Kushina smiled softly, "If Hinata knew that you were so troubled about choosing a gift for her, she would be very happy."

Naruto was a little confused.

Kushina hugged Naruto and held Naruto's palm with her other hand: "The important thing about giving a gift is not the gift, but the heart you put into giving it. You don't need to worry about the gift, and you don't need to worry about it. Will Tian like it, because no matter what the gift is, one thing will never change.”

"Do you know what it is?" Kushina looked at Naruto.

Naruto shook his head lightly.

Minato showed a sunny smile next to him, he stretched out his hand and put it on Kushina's hand, and the three people's hands were held together like this.

The warm breath flows between the three of them, as if the sun has cast a veil, shining under the light.

Minato smiled and said, "It's your love for her."

"Naruto, do you love Hinata?" Minato's tone was serious.

"I love her." Naruto replied without hesitation, "Just like she loves me, I can already stand beside her and tell her loudly that I love her."

"You caught up with her." Minato smiled softly, "This love is mutual. No matter whether you say it or not, you don't need to express it with actions. The love is there."

Naruto looked at the two of them, two loves wrapped around him, and he had been like this since he was a child.

The next second, sparks flashed in his eyes, and he jumped up from the ground excitedly: "I know, I know what gift I should give Hinata! Thank you, Mom and Dad!"

Kushina waved her fist encouragingly: "Then go, don't make my daughter-in-law sad."

"Absolutely not!" Naruto clenched his fist firmly, and the next second, his body disappeared from the spot.

Minato watched this scene with a smile, until Naruto disappeared, he turned slightly sideways and hugged Kushina: "Our son has grown up."

"Yeah." Kushina leaned into Minato's arms, "Naruto, what a nice name."

Ten minutes later, in front of the house where Naruto and Hinata lived together, Naruto took a deep breath and rang the doorbell. Hearing Hinata's voice coming from the room, he suddenly became nervous and held the one he had chosen in his hand. A gift, he couldn't help but feel a little bumpy in his heart.

But it was just rough, because he knew that Hinata loved him.

Not long after, the door opened, and Hinata with long hair and shoulder-length hair stood at the door wearing a not-so-luxurious home clothes. She looked at Naruto with some surprise: "Naruto-kun? Did you forget to bring your key?"

As he spoke, Hinata's face showed a smile, as beautiful as a night-blooming night-bloom, but it could exist forever.

"Hinata!" Naruto said loudly, "I have a gift for you."

Hinata smiled softly, stood at the door of the room and nodded gently: "Yes."

Naruto took a deep breath again and handed the two bowls of ramen in his hand to Hinata: "This is the ramen specially made by Uncle Handi. Because today is the Chinese Valentine's Day, only I can buy the special ramen coupon for withdrawal. .”

"Ramen?" Hinata took the ramen strangely. She didn't quite understand what Naruto meant, but she was still very happy.

Just like Sakura said, no matter what Naruto gives her, she will be extremely happy, because it is from Naruto.

Naruto looked at the happy smile on Hinata's face and rubbed the back of his head shyly: "Hinata, why don't you ask me why I gave you ramen?"

Hinata was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Well, then...Naruto-kun, why did you give me ramen?"

"Because I said last time, I will catch up with you, I will not be confused, and I will not look back. When I catch up with you and stand by your side, when I really understand my heart, I will stand In front of you, I tell you loudly that I like you."

"And that time, it was because of Ichiraku Ramen." Naruto's face was full of seriousness.

Hinata remembered the scene at that time, and then opened her mouth in disbelief.

Naruto looked at Hinata, his eyes showing seriousness: "Five years ago, you told me that you liked me, and at that time I asked you to wait for a while, waiting for me to catch up with you."

"In the past five years, I have been trying to catch up with you and trying hard to understand your mood at that time."

"Maybe I have succeeded, maybe I have failed, because no one knows better than you how much you love me."

Hinata covered her mouth, and a drop of crystal slowly condensed in her eyes.

Naruto looked at Hinata, stretched out his hand to wipe away the sparkle in her eyes, and smiled: "So I'm sorry Hinata, for making you wait for so long, and I'm also sorry, I actually forgot to tell you..."

"Hinata, I seem to have caught up with you."

"so……"

"I love you."

boom--

The fireworks of the Chinese Valentine's Day bloomed in the distance, and the light passed through the sunlight and fell on the two of them. It was like a colorful scroll recording this beautiful love, spreading in the blink of an eye. The beauty of that moment is enough to be engraved in the bottom of my heart forever.

"I love you Hinata, this love will last forever."

Naruto's smile reflected the fireworks, blooming in the clear sky, far exceeding the brightness of the sun.

Hinata wiped the tears from her eyes and looked at the two ramen in her hands, and she suddenly smiled.

Like a kite that cannot live without the wind, like a fish that cannot live without the water, like a bird that cannot live without the sky, like...my happy self at this moment.

She looked at Naruto with a smile, stretched out her hand and took Naruto's palm. The arms connecting the two of them seemed like a magpie bridge hanging in the sky, connecting two hearts even if they were separated by a galaxy.

"I love you Naruto, this love will last forever."

Human figures embrace each other, like meeting on a magpie bridge, casting shadows that will never be separated and shining on the earth, allowing the earth to witness this everlasting love.

Happy Chinese Valentine's Day.

This love lasts forever.
