" Catching her attention, he continued, "My hair changed color because of my Uzumaki lineage. Before, the influence of that lineage wasn't as strong, but somehow, I managed to intensify it, and that's how my hair changed color.
"
"I see. " Hinata understood that it could be something similar to an awakening of Kekkei Genkai, which brings changes to the user.
In Naruto's case, it would have been the hair color?
The Uchihas have special eyes, and the Hyugas too, but there are different types of Kekkei Genkai that aren't necessarily related to the eyes and cause different transformations in people. Maybe it was this type of change that Naruto was experiencing.
"Thank you for sharing that with me. " Hinata finally displayed a less timid and warmer smile.
She felt like she was living a dream as she talked and ate beside him.
"You're welcome," Naruto replied with a smile.
The two continued eating and exchanging words until Naruto mentioned, "You know. .
. I recently moved to a new house.
"
"Why, Naruto-kun?" Hinata seemed surprised but quickly added, "I mean, you don't have to answer if you don't want to. "
"It's okay, everyone will know soon anyway. " Naruto smiled at her, his eyes radiating an impressive kindness.
"Recently, I found out who my parents are. "
"Really? That's amazing! I'm so happy for you, Naruto-kun!" Hinata expressed genuine happiness for him.
"Hehe, thank you. " Naruto thanked her, chuckling a bit before continuing, "So, my parents are actually the village's heroes, the Fourth Hokage and his wife, Kushina Uzumaki.
"
"Wow!" Hinata's surprise was evident. But soon her expression turned into confusion.
If he was the Fourth Hokage's son, why did he have to live the way he did?
However, she chose not to spoil the mood and commented, "It's a shame they're no longer here. .
. But they were incredible ninjas who protected the village.
. .
"
"I know, don't worry. " Naruto, understanding Hinata's difficulty in expressing her emotions, spoke, "Even so, Hinata, just the fact that I know who they are filling me with joy.
You know, I always wondered what my parents would be like, or if I even had parents. Now, I can proudly say: my parents are two incredible ninjas who gave their lives for me and the village!"
"Yes, you're right. " Hinata agreed, putting aside her usual shyness to express her genuine happiness for him.
Then she asked, "But is it okay to tell me all this? It seems like it was a secret. .
. "
"It's okay, really. " Naruto assured her, "Hinata, I trust you, and I don't intend to hide who my parents were.
Although it was kept a secret to protect me from my father's enemies, I don't think it's necessary to keep it a secret anymore. "
"Of course, now you're different, you're already one of the strongest ninjas in the village!" Hinata smiled gently at him, closing her eyes.
The two continued talking, with Naruto sharing some of his experiences upon entering his parents' house for the first time, as well as his discoveries in photo albums and other mementos.
"Oh yeah," Naruto seemed to remember something. He took out a book from the case he carried and placed it on the table near Hinata's plate, "I found this book in my family's library.
When I saw it, I thought of you. Now that we've met, I have the chance to give it to you.
Hinata, would you accept this gift?"
Kushina, observing Naruto's interaction with Hinata, had an internal dialogue, "[Ohh, so that's why you took that book? I see, I see. It's a good idea, with the Byakugan, it will be much more useful than it would have been for me when I was developing that technique.
Alright, this can also count as a gift from me to my future daughter-in-law, right?]"
While her father, Minato, remained silent, Kushina was quite talkative. Naruto could even imagine her with a popcorn bucket, watching and commenting as if she were watching a movie.
. .
Hinata placed her chopsticks in the bowl and picked up the book. She read what was written on the cover: [Bow and Arrow Law Technique].
She briefly flipped through the book, and her eyes sparkled like stars. She realized that this technique was not only unique but had been created by Kushina Uzumaki, the woman Naruto had just revealed to be his mother.
. .
"I'm very happy to receive something like this, but. .
. " Hinata hesitated, closing the book and looking at Naruto, "But, are you sure about this, Naruto-kun? I mean, it was something written by your mother, right?"
"It's alright, it's not something that's very useful to me, and I bet my mother would be happy if you received it, Hinata," Naruto replied with a smile.
Kushina, in her mind, grew excited: [Yes, of course, I would - ttebane!]
Naruto flashed a strange smile upon hearing his mother's voice in his mind. But to prevent Hinata from misunderstanding, he quickly returned to his usual smile.
Hinata blushed even more, seemingly misinterpreting Naruto's intention. She even started to entertain the thought that maybe Naruto was interested in her, an idea she considered absurd but didn't stop her from dreaming.
Embracing the book against her chest, Hinata displayed an expression of shyness, but with an irresistibly unique charm.
Opening her mouth, her voice sounded sweeter than honey, carrying waves of overflowing emotions: "Thank you, Naruto-kun. I will cherish this deeply!"
Naruto had also studied this technique, although he didn't intend to use it much. It would be useful if he wanted to hunt in the First and Second Hunting Grounds, so his understanding of this technique was quite high.
With that said Naruto began sharing his understanding of it.
When they finished eating, Naruto asked, "Do you have any plans this afternoon, Hinata?"
"No. " Hinata denied it, her heart beating fast.
She didn't know why, but she felt that what Naruto would say next would completely surprise her, in a very good way. .
