For Naruto, it's a big moment of vulnerability. He's putting his heart on the line, so there's a sense of fear of rejection, but also a deep love and determination. Hinata would be feeling a whirlwind of emotions. She'd be flattered, deeply in love, and probably a bit stunned that Naruto is actually asking her to marry him. There would be a lot of blushing and happy tears from her side.
If he asks Hinata, she would probably be overjoyed. She has always been in love with Naruto, so her answer would most likely be an immediate 'yes' with tears of happiness in her eyes.
Well, in this fanfiction, Naruto could be nervous as he asks Hinata to marry him. He might fumble with his words a bit at first. But once he gets going, he would talk about their journey together, from being classmates to comrades in battle. Hinata, on the other hand, would be in shock initially, but then her love for Naruto would shine through and she'd accept with tears of happiness in her eyes.
Well, it could be Hinata. In the original series, they have a strong connection, so in a fanfiction, it's quite possible that Naruto would choose her to propose to.
Well, Naruto's reaction can vary. Sometimes, he might be a bit hesitant at first. Given his past focus on becoming Hokage and his general obliviousness to Hinata's feelings in the original story, he could take a moment to fully process what she's saying. He might then respond with a heartfelt speech about how he values her and wants to explore their relationship further. For example, he could say something like 'Hinata, you've always been there for me, and I want to be there for you too. Let's see where this love takes us.'
Naruto might be overjoyed. He's always been someone who values friendship and love, and Hinata's confession could be like a dream come true for him. He could immediately accept her love and start planning a future together.
One reason could be for power. Combining their strengths through marriage could make them an even more formidable force. Maybe Sasuke saw it as a strategic move to protect their village or to face some greater threat that they are not aware of yet.
He might be initially surprised. Naruto has always been a bit oblivious when it comes to romantic feelings. So, his first reaction could be shock, with his eyes widening and him stuttering a bit as he tries to process the new information.
For Hinata, if she's actually innocent, she would be heartbroken that Naruto thought she could cheat. She might have to fight hard to prove her innocence. If she was at fault, she would likely face a lot of guilt and the loss of Naruto's love, which was something she deeply cherished. In the fanfiction world, this could also lead to changes in the social dynamics among their friends. Their friends might be divided, some believing Hinata and some believing Naruto's initial perception. It could create a rift in the whole group.
