Hinata Hyuga was a bit dazed.
This was because after Naruto Uzumaki had revived her, he, who had been a straightforward and manly guy, had, within a few days, insisted she was his future wife and wanted her to meet his parents.
Regarding Naruto's sudden initiative, Hinata was bewildered, yet extremely delighted. After her delight, she felt very shy, a perfect representation of a pie chart. Big Wind Novel
Her personality was passive, and her heart was a thousand times willing. Therefore, even though she was very nervous, she was eventually brought over by Naruto.
The Minato Namikaze family also welcomed her with extremely formal arrangements.
At this moment, at Minato Namikaze's home~
"Uncle, Aunt... Hello..."
Hinata Hyuga knelt on a cushion, her pretty face flushed as she greeted Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, her voice as soft as a mosquito's, barely audible.
Unlike Naruto's family, who had watched the anime Naruto, she was revived shortly after Neji's death during the Fourth Great Ninja War. At that time, her relationship with Naruto was at the stage of more than friendship and less than romance, and she did not know that she would eventually end up with Naruto.
At this moment, she was extremely shy. If it weren't for the fear of leaving a bad impression on Naruto's parents by suddenly fainting, she would have already fainted from shyness.
"Don't be so formal, little Hinata~" Kushina Uzumaki looked at her with affection, her voice gentle, as if afraid of scaring the young girl before her.
In the subconscious, people always yearn for what they lack. For example, a thin person always wants to find a plump partner; a fat person wants to find a thinner partner...
And Kushina Uzumaki, with her fiery personality, was naturally extremely satisfied with the quiet and shy Hinata. The reason she chose to marry Minato Namikaze was also partly due to her husband's gentle personality.
In fact, the reason Naruto suddenly invited Hinata to their home was only after her strong insistence. What she wanted to do was to personally solidify Hinata's status as her daughter-in-law, to prevent any other changes.
"Hello, Hinata!" Minato Namikaze was as gentle as ever, his smile giving a feeling of warmth, which instantly reduced Hinata's nervousness.
As the female lead, Hinata had quite a lot of screen time in Naruto. Therefore, both of them understood Hinata's personality very well. In the subsequent conversation, they deliberately catered to her emotions. As they chatted, the topic shifted to cooking.
Minato Namikaze immediately lost his qualification to participate in the conversation but still listened attentively to the conversation between the two with a smile. His occasional glances at Kushina Uzumaki were filled with doting.
Naruto, on the other hand, became somewhat bored. He could understand the topics they discussed at first, but when it came to techniques for caramelizing sugar and frying both sides of something until golden brown, he didn't understand. He poured himself tea and drank it heartily, acting carelessly.
"Naruto!" Kushina Uzumaki gave him a punch on the head with dissatisfaction. As he cried out in pain, clutching his head, she chided, "Little Hinata is finally visiting. How can you be so indifferent?"
"Ouch, ouch, ouch~" Naruto clutched his head and grimaced for a while before saying aggrievedly, "Mom, I don't know how to cook. I only know how to make instant noodles, and I can't join your conversation!"
Hinata touched her index fingers together, appearing somewhat flustered. She said weakly and anxiously, "Aunt, it's okay. Please don't blame Naruto-kun..."
"It's your good fortune accumulated over eight lifetimes to find such a well-behaved girlfriend!" Kushina Uzumaki shook her head, her liking for Hinata growing. She smiled and said, "I'll go make dinner first. You guys continue chatting!"
"Have I been recognized by Naruto-kun's family? Naruto-kun's girlfriend..." Hinata's mind was filled with Kushina Uzumaki's first sentence, and her heart was filled with shy joy, so much so that she forgot what Kushina said afterward.
When she came to her senses, she quickly stood up, "Aunt, I've also studied some cooking at home. Let me help you..."
"How can a guest be asked to cook?" Kushina Uzumaki smiled and walked over, pressing Hinata's shoulders to make her sit down. She affectionately patted her head and said, "At least on the first visit, you can't be made to cook. Little Hinata, just wait obediently!"
"Okay... Okay, thank you for your trouble, Aunt..." Hinata replied shyly.
Kushina Uzumaki gestured for Hinata to relax, then turned towards the kitchen. As she passed by Minato Namikaze, she pinched his shoulder and said, "Honey, can you cut the meat for me!"
"Ah? Oh... Okay!" Minato Namikaze, worthy of being the fastest man, only paused for a moment before reacting instantly. He nodded at Hinata with a smile, then stood up and followed his wife towards the kitchen.
In the living room, only Naruto and Hinata, who was drawing circles with her index fingers touching, were left sitting quietly. The atmosphere suddenly became inexplicably ambiguous.
"Ah, Hinata!" Naruto felt awkward. Finally, unable to bear the awkward atmosphere, he took the initiative to speak.
"Ah? Yes! Naruto-kun~" Hinata immediately straightened her body, responding at the first moment.
"Um... Are you getting used to the house?" After reviving Hinata, Naruto had used some of his merit points to buy Hinata a property not far from their home, a one-bedroom, one-living room unit, as her accommodation.
"I'm living very well, thank you, Naruto-kun. You've spent money on me..." Hinata said shyly.
"Ahem... That's good. What did you eat today?"
"I ate sushi and beef rice bowls..." two large bowls.
"Oh... What kind of sushi?"
"Salmon from Ichiraku Supermarket..."
"Oh... Was it expensive?"
...
"How could I have such a stupid child!" Kushina Uzumaki, who was eavesdropping in the kitchen, clenched the spoon in her hand. With her fiery temper, she could no longer listen to this bland conversation. She was about to rush out and give a live demonstration.
"Isn't this good enough?" Minato Namikaze smiled and held his wife back, saying gently, "As long as the two of them truly like each other, they don't necessarily have to say sweet nothings. You have to believe in Naruto's charm. After all, he's our child, and you and I have both seen that 'anime,' so we know Hinata's feelings for Naruto."
Kushina Uzumaki calmed down. "That's true. Then I won't interfere... But are we really just characters in an anime?"
Kushina Uzumaki was somewhat bothered by this question. She was more inclined to believe that the events in the ninja world were recorded in the form of anime, rather than a fictional world.
"Who knows..." Minato Namikaze was more open-minded. He smiled and said, "No matter what, we have already detached ourselves from that world. Whether it is or not is no longer important. We just need to live in the present..."
"Mm..." Kushina Uzumaki nodded in agreement, then had a sudden thought. "Perhaps the world we are in now is also an anime or a novel. Haha, it sounds quite interesting..."
Minato Namikaze looked at Kushina, his eyes full of her charming expressions.
Kushina's pretty face blushed, and she said fiercely, "What are you looking at? Hurry up and cut the vegetables. Little Hinata is visiting for the first time today, and we need to entertain her well!"
"Okay!" Minato Namikaze's eyes curved.
Just as the two were about to act, a knock suddenly came:
"Knock! Knock! Knock!"
