Discussion: How the Nine-Tails led Naruto astray

The special episode is not related to the main text.

Naruto stood in front of a stall, stroking his chin and looking at the ornaments on the stall, with a tangled look.

"Naruto?" Shikamaru came to Naruto and looked at him strangely, "Today is the Tanabata Festival, why are you not here with Hinata?"

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

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

Today is Tanabata, and Iruka teacher gave himself a day off just so that he could go out with Hinata.

But who knew that he got stuck in the gift selection stage.

Naruto looked at Shikamaru in distress: "Shikamaru, what gift do you usually give Temari on Tanabata?"

Shikamaru, who was just out shopping, was at a loss. He scratched his head: "Temari is still in the Sand Village, I can't give her a gift even if I want to, and it was Temari who came to Konoha to find me at this time last year."

With his IQ, he can choose a gift, even if he is afraid of trouble, but he doesn't need to choose, because Temari will come to him and ask for a gift, and then he only needs to pay.

"What should I 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 must give Hinata a gift on Tanabata, but he doesn't know what Hinata likes.

In my memory, it seems that Hinata will like everything very much, so Naruto has no idea what Hinata likes until now.

But Hinata has grasped his hobbies very accurately.

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

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

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

Naruto: "..."

"That's what I'm talking about." Naruto looked righteous.

"Oh?" Shikamaru chuckled, then waved his hand and left, "You choose, I'm going to wait for Temari, according to her habits, she will probably be here soon."

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

"Too troublesome." Shikamaru said without turning his head: "Or... if Temari gets angry and you take the beating for me later, I will help you."

"Goodbye." Naruto waved goodbye.

After saying goodbye to the unreliable Shikamaru, Naruto walked alone on the road, holding the back of his head. From time to time, beautiful young ladies would come up to talk to Naruto, but Naruto politely refused them one by one.

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

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

"Kuroma is also having fun playing games now, right?" Naruto laughed subconsciously, and the whole person seemed as warm as the sun.

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 about it, Naruto suddenly saw Ningci in front of him. The next second, his eyes lit up and he waved his hand without hesitation: "Ningci!"

Ningci, 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 and said with a smile: "Ningci, are you also here alone to choose a gift for Tenten? Have you chosen it? Can you show it to me?"

"Uh..." Ningci's face flashed a hint of red, "No, I came out with Tenten."

Naruto was stunned.

Almost at the same time, in the store next to him, a beautiful girl jumped out, hugged Ningci's arm without saying a word, and looked at Naruto vigilantly: "Naruto, don't think about pulling Ningci to practice, today is Tanabata! He must spend it with me!"

Naruto: "..."

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

Tenten was stunned, a little suspicious: "Really?"

He was

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

Although I often asked Neji to help me practice before, although I often sparred with Neji, and although I would ask Neji for help from time to time... um, but today, I will never do that! Naruto swears on his integrity!

Looking at Naruto's righteous face, Tiantian couldn't help laughing: "Integrity, you? You and Hinata are living together, what are you talking about integrity? Who are you kidding."

Ningci was helpless: "Tentian, as a girl, you should pay a little attention to your words and deeds."

"You didn't say that in bed last night." Tiantian puffed up his face and stared at Neci angrily.

Ningci: "..."

Naruto broke out in a cold sweat: "... Sorry to bother you."

Tentian immediately covered his mouth in surprise: "No way? Haven't you and Hinata started last year... You haven't? Hmm~"

Even Neci was a little surprised.

Naruto looked at the two with an expressionless face and bowed directly: "Goodbye!"

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

"Using Flying Thunder God to run away, Naruto this guy." Ningci shook his head helplessly.

Tenten held his hand, with curiosity on her face: "Naruto and Hinata really haven't done it yet, right? Aren't they going to get married next year? Are they going to have such a sense of ceremony on the wedding day? Can Naruto hold it in?"

Ningci rolled his eyes... Oh, he was rolling his eyes: "I believe Naruto can hold it in like me, but I didn't expect Miss Hinata to not move either."

"After all, not everyone is as bold as me." Tenten, who pushed Ningci in the opposite direction, proudly puffed out his chest.

Ningci's old face flushed, and the whole person coughed dryly and stopped talking.

Speaking between the two, Naruto wiped a cold sweat and walked out from the side path: "As expected, Hinata is still gentle. Since Tenten followed Sakura and Ino to practice medical ninjutsu, she has become more and more bold in speaking."

We are all adults, and it's okay to speak boldly, but these women are too bold.

Hinata said that she saw Sakura, Ino and Tenten when she was shopping last time. The three of them actually taught Hinata the correct reverse push posture, and Naruto couldn't do it at that time.

Too wild, can't afford to offend.

Sighing, Naruto continued to go shopping, but just after taking two steps, two familiar figures came over from a distance.

It was Sasuke and Sakura.

Sakura held Sasuke's right hand with a happy face, and Sasuke didn't resist, but walked with Sakura very calmly until he saw Naruto.

Sakura greeted first: "Naruto, why are you shopping here alone without Hinata?"

"Naruto." Sasuke nodded.

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

"Is that so." 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 seemed to think of something, and hurriedly said, "Don't buy a Kurama doll!"

"Uh...how do you know you want to buy a Kurama doll." Naruto touched the back of his head awkwardly.

"Nonsense." Sakura rolled her eyes, "Although the Kurama doll looks cute, I can't like it when I think of what he did. Among the few of us, you are the only one who likes the Kurama doll."

Since the end of the Fourth Ninja World War, Kurama's original majestic tailed beast image has completely collapsed, becoming a thorn in the hearts of everyone in Konoha.

After all, no one could have imagined that the legendary Kurama who could destroy the world would actually... look like that. It can only be said that faith collapsed, and it was not worth it for the ninja who died in the Nine-Tails Rebellion more than ten years ago.

Being killed by that kind of thing is really a lifelong shame.

"Kuroma is very cute." Naruto probably knew what Sakura meant. He spoke well of Kurama, but he did not hesitate to pass this choice in his heart.

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

Sakura pulled Sasuke's arm in annoyance: "How dare you say that? I told you to stay away from Kurama, but you didn't listen. In the end, you were fooled by him."

Sasuke couldn't help twitching his eyes when he thought of this, 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 beside him. In order to avoid being dug up the past, he chose to run away: "Well, I still have to choose a gift for Hinata, so I'll leave first."

"We'll meet again if we have a chance

Let's have a sparring match." 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 subtly, while Sakura covered her mouth and smiled with narrowed eyes.

Above the Shadow Rock, Naruto sat on the head of his father, looking down with a distressed face.

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

When they saw Naruto, they were both stunned.

Kushina stepped forward and came to Naruto's side: "Naruto? Why don't you sit on your father's head on the Tanabata Festival with Hinata?"

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

"Mom and Dad?" Naruto laughed distressedly, "I want to choose a gift for Hinata, but I don't know what to do. Sakura told me that Hinata might like dolls, so I want to give her what kind of doll."

"Kurouma's doll. "Kushina spoke without hesitation.

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

"That's right." Kushina also nodded indignantly.

In the eyes of the mother and son, Kurama's dolls are cute and adorable, how could anyone not like them?

And the fact is that no one likes Kurama's dolls except the two of them, it's very real.

"Kushina." Minato came to the other side of Naruto helplessly.

Kushina stuck out her tongue very cutely.

Seeing this scene, Naruto couldn't help rolling his eyes: "Please change places to show your affection, thank you, there is no need to show off like this in front of your son."

"We didn't show off on purpose." Minato smiled and sat next to Naruto, and Kushina on the other side also sat down, and the two smiled very gently.

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

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

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

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

"Yes." Kushina smiled gently, "If Hinata knew that you were so distressed to choose 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 gifts is not the gift, but the heart you give it. You don't need to worry about the gift, and you don't need to worry about whether Hinata will like it, because no matter what the gift is, one thing will not change. "

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

Naruto shook his head gently.

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

The warm breath flowed between the three people, as if the sun 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 a little serious.

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

"You caught up with her." Minato smiled gently, "This love is mutual, whether you say it or not, and you don't need to express it with actions, love is there. "

Naruto looked at the two of them, and they were wrapped in love from childhood to adulthood.

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 encouraged and waved her fist: "Then go, but 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 smiled at this scene, until Naruto disappeared, he slightly turned sideways and hugged Kushina: "Our son has grown up."

"Yeah." Kushina leaned in 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 a little nervous. Holding the gift he chose in his hand, he couldn't help but feel a little upset.

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

Not long after, the door opened, and Hinata with long hair draped over her shoulders stood at the door in a not-so-gorgeous home clothes, looking at Naruto in surprise: "Naruto-kun? Did you forget to bring your keys?"

As she spoke, Hinata's face showed a smile, as beautiful as a short-lived flower, but it could exist forever.

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

You. "

Hinata smiled gently, stood at the door and nodded gently: "Yeah."

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 the hand-made uncle. Because today is Tanabata, the special ramen coupons are withdrawn, and only I can buy it. "

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

Just like Sakura said, no matter what Naruto gave her, she would be very happy, because it was Naruto's gift.

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

Hinata was slightly stunned, and then laughed out loud: "Well, then... Naruto-kun, why did you give me ramen? "

"Because I said last time that I would catch up with you, I would not be confused, I would not look back, when I catch up with you and stand beside you, when I really recognize my own heart, I will stand in front of you and 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 she 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 a little while until I caught up with you."

"In the past five years, I have been trying to catch up with you and trying to understand your feelings 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, reached out and wiped the crystal from her eyes, and smiled: "So I'm sorry Hinata, I made you wait for so long, and I'm sorry that I forgot to tell you..."

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

"So..."

"I love you."

Bang——

The fireworks of the Tanabata Festival bloomed in the distance, and the light passed through the sunlight and fell on the two people, as if a colorful scroll recorded this beautiful love, which spread in the fleeting smile. The beauty of that moment is enough to be engraved in the heart forever.

"I love you Hinata, this love will never change. "

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

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

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

She smiled at Naruto, stretched out her hand and held Naruto's palm, connecting their arms as if hanging in the sky on the magpie bridge, even if they are separated by the Milky Way, they can still connect their hearts.

"I love you Naruto, this love will never change."

The figures embraced each other, like meeting on the magpie bridge, casting their inseparable shadows on the earth, letting the earth witness this everlasting love.

Happy Qixi Festival.

This love will never change.
