People are in Konoha, this Naruto is lying flat

wait for me here.

As he said that, Naruto suddenly ran towards a wall. Hinata watched him climb up the wall neatly, put his palms on the wall, and slid across the wall.

Being interrupted by Naruto, Hinata panicked, but she did not continue to show off.

Logically speaking, Hinata would not run around.

Naruto climbed over the wall, jumped onto someone else's roof, walked closely between the narrow stairs, and soon reached Konoha Street. I quickly bought bandages and disinfectant, and also bought a large bag of swelling-reducing potion.

When he returned again, Hinata stood there motionless.

Hinata, take off your leggings.

ah?

As soon as Naruto finished speaking, Hinata was stunned.

Ah, what? Your legs are so swollen that the leggings have loosened, and there are bruises underneath.

Naruto shook a large bag of swelling and analgesic medicine in his hand and said.

We need to treat the wound first. If we let it go like this, it won't heal in two or three days.

Even though Hinata was shy, she nodded.

Naruto has grown very fast recently, probably because he is not short of money and not picky about food, so Hinata can only reach Naruto's lips.

Seeing her lowering her head and standing on one leg like a crane, she struggled to remove the bandage from the other injured foot. Naruto sighed and stepped forward to help Hinata sit on a stone.

Naruto-kun...you...where did you get so many... Hinata's eyes were slightly dull.

I bought it. Go over there and walk through a gap in the wall to reach Konoha Street. Naruto pointed in the direction of the wall and said, But there was an accident in the middle, and the man was unwilling to sell it to me.

Ah, then... Naruto-kun, what are you doing?

It's nothing.

I beat up the clerk and he sold it to me.

Hinata froze for a moment, and said in a panic.

You got into trouble. Ninjas can't harm ordinary villagers.

Naruto looked disapproving and pointed at his smooth forehead.

I don't wear a forehead so I'm not a ninja.

Besides, I don't have any missions, so I'm just an ordinary villager.

He took out the disinfectant and began to untie the bandage on Hinata's leg. There were also several scratches on Hinata's pants from overtraining.

This leg is so swollen. Why did you come back alone? Where are Kiba and Shino? Naruto asked.

I haven't had any missions recently. I went to train alone. Hinata said a little embarrassed, I accidentally fell down the hillside.

Don't force yourself so much. Overtraining will make you less efficient. Naruto said this and took off the bandage that was only tied to his calf.

He took out an emergency ice pack and applied it to the swollen area, then lowered his socks to just below his ankles. It was not that her ankle was not injured as Hinata said, but it was because of the swelling that she temporarily lost consciousness.

The legs without excess fat showed unnatural swelling, and the curves of the legs that should have been smooth and white had been distorted by various bruises and wounds made by stones.

It's hard to imagine how Hinata walked back alone.

Naruto held the ice pack on his bare feet, raised his head with a natural expression and warned.

The injury is serious. The swelling can only be reduced temporarily. The Hyuga clan should have medical ninjas. When you get home, you can have someone help you take care of it to avoid leaving scars.

Thank you... Naruto-kun.

Are you feeling better?

It doesn't hurt that much anymore, Hinata said.

Naruto stared at Hinata for a few seconds and suddenly asked with a strange expression.

Is it because of the Chunin Exam that you are training so hard?

Hinata's eyes flickered a few times, and she subconsciously wanted to shake her head.

to be honest.

Yeah. Hinata nodded hesitantly, The gap between me and brother Ningci is too big. The person who could fight with brother Ningci that time was Naruto-kun...

I also want to work hard to accomplish one thing.

...I want to stand up by myself!

Sometimes, when people are stubborn, a word can shine.

The timid girl's determination in life is brighter than the scorching sun. So much so that I couldn't take my eyes away at a glance, as if I had seen the light of the world.

Hinata felt a little regretful after saying that. She covered her face and felt a little overwhelmed. It was completely out of the blue, and I didn't know what was going on, so I just said what was on my mind.

Ah, dying!

How could you say such a thing directly, Naruto-kun would misunderstand it.

Hinata, try your best. Remember to be more careful next time you train. Naruto lowered his head to apply the medicine and fixed the bandage on the wound.

He raised his head again and met Hinata's flashing eyes.

I......

Okay, let's go, I'll take you back.

Hinata blinked, obviously understanding what Naruto meant, which was to carry her back.

With her current state, there was no way Naruto could leave Hinata here or let her walk back on one leg. Anyway, this is not the first time I have sent Hinata back, and I have completely memorized the route.

Do I have to carry it on my back? Hinata lowered her face.

Let's just make do with it now. Naruto finished packing the bag of anti-swelling medicine, There aren't many people on the road. If you don't want to carry it, you can just carry it with the princess.

Then let's carry it. Hinata covered her face and whispered, Sorry to trouble you, Naruto-kun.

It's nothing, I happened to see it. If you don't want to trouble me again in the future, then remember to protect yourself during training.

Naruto squatted down and Hinata carefully moved onto his back.

Actually... I want to trouble you a few more times. She thought a little selfishly.

Hinata's body is very light, perhaps because she suppresses her appetite. Even through many layers of clothes, one could still feel that Hinata's body was incredibly thin.

Or maybe she was too shy, Hinata buried her face in Naruto's back, not daring to look up at all. Cold arms wrapped around his neck, and every few steps he took, a sweet aroma would come from his neck.

I'm leaving the village tomorrow. Naruto suddenly said.

Ah? Hinata suddenly became nervous, Is it a mission?

That's right. Naruto didn't know what to say. The task of searching for the Godaime should be considered free, but it needed to be kept secret. I'll probably have to leave for a while.

Will it take... a long time?

It shouldn't take too long, maybe half a month or a month or two.

Is there any danger? Hinata asked dully.

Danger? Does the Sannin War count? Orochimaru, who killed two Kages, shouldn't be too dangerous if he loses his hands.

Naruto thought for a moment and said.

very safe.

There were no people along the way. He occasionally met a few people whom he didn't recognize. He didn't know if Hinata recognized them, but anyway, it was fine if he didn't recognize them.

After being sent to Hinata's station, Hinata came down with a blushing face, looked at Naruto with her swaying eyes, and whispered.

I met an acquaintance on the road.

Want me to help explain? Naruto asked seriously.

No no no!!!

Hinata's face turned even redder and she waved her hands wildly. If her legs weren't injured, she would have to turn around and run away.
