Chapter 79: Hinata's Suspicion

"I think... he can overlook it if you can make him feel really good about himself."

Kiba only laughed, "Hinata, that can only work the other way around. This may sound bad, but no guy would go out with a girl who looks as terrible as that girl."

'But she won Naruto's heart somehow... so you can't really say that...' Shino kept that thought to himself as to not upset Hinata, 'Besides, I think Hinata's right... Stroke Naruto's ego good enough and there's a chance he probably could end up liking you.'

As the Inuzuka attempted to encourage his friend to speak with her crush, Nia was smiling with rosy cheeks as Naruto kept playfully bumping into her.

"Curly Brow, what're you being so shy for? Don't you like flirting?" The blonde smiled as he kept gazing at the profile of the girl's face.

Nia only covered herself with her hands, "I do, but it's been a while since I've seen you so I'm pretty shy right now."

"But you're so beautiful." He told her, "You don't gotta be all shy with me, ya know?"

"You really... think so?"

"Mhm."

'She's so disgusting though...' Kiba, with his sensitive hearing, caught on to what the two were saying to one another, 'I don't see how he loves her. It just doesn't make sense. She's hideous! Why does he love a creature like her?'

"Curly Brow," He then heard Naruto say as he removed the girl's hands away from her face, "I can't look at you when you're hiding from me like that. Let me see you."

Feeling immensely flattered, Nia hooked her right arm around his left arm and held onto it as she gently rested her head against it as well while they continued to stroll down a path.

"I really missed hugging you this way," She told the blonde as she could feel her heart flutter a bit, "You make me feel so relaxed."

Inwardly, Naruto pumped his fist up as he felt something special was coming his way.

All riiight! If I keep playing my cards right, there's no doubt she'll sleep with me tonight! It's been so long! I'm tired of using my hand! I need the real deal, ya know!

Kiba grunted as he watched Hinata get a little down over seeing how close Nia was to the boy she "loved" since childhood.

Man just look at that idiot! What kind of moron is he letting that girl hold onto his arm like that in front of Hinata? I can't keep watching this any longer! I feel like I'm about to lose it!

Shino just sighed as he saw the girl's expression.

I was afraid this day would come... but... Hinata did have more than a literal decade to talk to Naruto... Unfortunately, she couldn't find the courage to keep making progress with him. It's actually more realistic for him to be taken since she didn't put in enough effort into trying to get with him... much more realistic.

"So... did you take the time to catch up with your friends in the last five days?" Nia asked.

Naruto nodded, "Yeah. We caught up on a lot of things and I got to talking to everybody, ya know?"

Nia felt a bit remorseful, "I'm... sorry."

"Huh? What for?"
