This wasn't her first time in the audience, but the nervousness she felt each time was still hard to shake off.
Especially when she thought about some of the "scenes" she witnessed on her last visit that made her blush and her heart race.
[Ding! Hinata Hyuga's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +200!]
"hello!"
Karin stood up and waved enthusiastically to Hinata, who had just appeared, across several rows of seats.
While cheering for Naruto in the preliminary rounds, she witnessed Hinata's duel with Neji.
Karin has a strong liking for this seemingly weak girl who fights bravely to the very end against a powerful enemy.
"H-hello..."
Hinata waved somewhat awkwardly and gave Karin a polite but timid smile.
However, she clearly had no recollection of Karin.
Seeing that the two looked like strangers, Sakura quickly stepped in to introduce them: "Hinata, this is Karin, Naruto's clansman, the child Naruto rescued in the Forest of Death. Karin, this is Hinata Hyuga, a classmate from the Ninja Academy, and also our friend~"
"A member of the Uzumaki clan...?"
Hinata was taken aback when she heard this, and then she realized that the red-haired girl in front of her and Naruto were relatives of the same clan!
She quickly and formally greeted Karin, her voice both tight and soft: "I'm so sorry, I was rude earlier! So you're Naruto-kun's clansman—nice to meet you, please take care of me!"
[Ding! Hinata Hyuga's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +200!]
at this time.
The previously empty screen gradually began to display images, and a soft glow illuminated the first three rows of the audience.
Upon seeing this, Sasuke, Sakura, Karin, and Hinata immediately quieted down and all turned their attention to the screen.
In the scene, a familiar figure is rushing down the stairs in a flurry of activity—
As soon as Naruto went downstairs, he saw Kushina and Karin sitting side by side on the sofa chatting in the living room.
"Naruto, what's wrong? Why are you all in such a hurry?"
Kushina blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at Naruto strangely.
Naruto jumped down the last step, landed steadily, scratched his head, and chuckled sheepishly, "Hehe, it's nothing, nothing's wrong!"
At this time.
"Dong Dong Dong~"
A few soft sounds.
There was a knock on the door.
"Oh, we have guests?" Kushina raised her eyebrows and looked towards the door.
Before she could even move, Naruto jumped three feet high: "I'll go open the door!"
After saying that, he darted away in a flash.
Naruto rushed to the entrance and flung open the door.
Who is it?
He eagerly poked his head out, but his words abruptly stopped.
A pretty young girl stood outside the door.
In the soft morning sunlight, Hinata Hyuga was dressed in a moon-white kimono with a light purple sash around her waist. Her long, black hair was carefully combed and hung quietly down her back.
She looked elegant and dignified, clearly having dressed up specially.
Hinata was holding an exquisite purple gift box in her hands, nervously twisting her fingers.
"Naruto-kun... Good morning."
Hinata met Naruto's deep blue eyes, and a blush instantly rose on her pretty face.
Naruto was taken aback for a moment, then broke into a big smile: "Oh, it's Hinata!"
He scratched the back of his head, his voice full of joy, "Haha, good morning!"
The last time Naruto went shopping with Hinata in his dream, Hinata's thoughtful and gentle care left a deep impression on him.
Upon seeing each other again, he couldn't help but feel a sense of warmth.
Suddenly, a familiar head peeked out from behind Hinata, looking into the room.
"Hey, brother-in-law, I'm here too!"
Is the Fourth Hokage home?
It was Hinata's cousin, Hyuga Neji.
Neji grinned and put his arm around Naruto's shoulder, acting as if they were old friends.
Naruto was speechless: "Why is this guy here too!"
[Ding! Naruto's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +100!]
"Ne-Neji-nii—"
Hinata was both embarrassed and anxious. Her pretty face turned red all the way to her ears, and even her snow-white neck was tinged with crimson.
She stamped her foot in panic, her voice trembling, "No, stop talking nonsense!"
……
in the audience.
Karin stared at the scene on the screen, as if struck by lightning, and stood up from her seat in shock.
"Brother-in-law?!"
Karin rubbed her ears in disbelief, wondering if she had misheard.
She pointed at the Byakugan-wielding boy clinging to Naruto on the screen, her voice suddenly rising eight octaves as she unleashed a barrage of questions.
"Why is this guy calling Naruto 'brother-in-law'?!"
Naruto got married?
"How old is he?"
"That can't be right?!"
[Ding! Karin's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +500!]
Karin's mouth was agape, her chest heaving violently; she had clearly suffered a tremendous shock.
Hinata, standing next to her, wasn't in much better shape.
Hinata, sitting in the audience, had a bright red face and was so ashamed and angry that she curled up in her seat like a ripe shrimp.
"Sister...husband..."
She lowered her head in a daze, feeling as if her mind was filled with echoes of "brother-in-law, brother-in-law, brother-in-law," and all the blood in her body rushed to her cheeks, as if it were about to steam.
[Ding! Hinata Hyuga's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +400!]
"Karin, calm down!"
When Sakura saw Karin jump up in surprise, she quickly pressed her back into her seat and patted her hand reassuringly.
"Don't worry! Naruto isn't married."
Karin was taken aback by his words, her tense emotions calming down slightly: "Not married? But just now..."
Sakura winked at Karin, "The Hyuga clan intends to get engaged to Naruto."
"Engaged?!"
Karin, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly jumped up and stood up abruptly. "An engagement isn't right either!"
[Ding! Karin's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +500!]
"Karin, don't get excited!"
"Don't worry, it's just a scene from a dream. Naruto in real life isn't nearly as sought after!"
Sakura patted her shoulder to comfort her, then revealed a slightly infatuated expression: "After all, Naruto in the dream is so handsome..."
Karin felt a huge weight lifted off her shoulders for the time being.
Karin bit her lower lip, a dark thought suddenly flashing through her mind.
Fine, let's all go and like Naruto in our dreams!
That way, no one will compete with her in reality...
"ah!"
As Karin thought about it, she blushed and covered her face.
Hinata, who was sitting to the side, gradually recovered from her initial shock.
She secretly lowered her hands from her face, but still felt her cheeks burning.
After calming herself down a bit, Hinata couldn't help but glance curiously at Karin.
Karin was covering her face with her hands, and through the gaps between her fingers, her bright red eyes glanced at the screen, then quickly looked away, her expression a mixture of annoyance and embarrassment...
Hinata's heart skipped a beat.
Naruto's reaction just now was way too exaggerated, wasn't it?
And the expression on Karin's face right now...
Why does this seem so familiar?
Just then, Karin seemed to sense the intense gaze from the side.
She suddenly turned her head and looked over, just in time to meet Hinata's probing gaze.
Their eyes met, and time seemed to stand still for two seconds.
Karin's blush had not completely faded, and Hinata still looked shy and confused.
The two girls stared at each other, neither looking away for a moment.
