Hinata's Awakening, Naruto's Pride, and Training Toward the Future
Naruto sat anxiously beside Hinata's bed, his legs bouncing up and down. Because he didn't know Medical Ninjutsu, the only thing he could do was wait quietly until she woke up on her own.
Hinata had merely fainted—overwhelmed by emotion the moment she found herself in Naruto's arms.
Her physical injuries were minor, but her heart… that was a different story.
After a short rest, her eyelids trembled softly.
Then she slowly opened her eyes.
The first thing she saw—
Naruto's face.
His bright blue eyes staring directly into hers.
His face was very close.
Too close.
Hinata froze.
Then—
"Ah—!"
She let out a small gasp and immediately yanked the blanket over her head like a frightened rabbit retreating into its burrow.
Naruto panicked.
"H-Huh? Hina—Hinata?! What's wrong?!"
From beneath the blanket, Hinata's embarrassed whisper leaked out:
"Na-Naruto-kun… lütfen… biraz uzak dur…"
Naruto blinked and quickly scooted his chair several feet back.
"Okay! How about now?"
A cautious peek emerged from the blanket.
"…Yeah. That's okay."
But as she peeked around the room, her face turned red again.
This wasn't the hospital.
It wasn't the Hyuga compound.
This was—
Naruto-kun's bedroom.
She was lying on Naruto-kun's bed.
Wrapped in Naruto-kun's blanket.
Her heart pounded so loudly it echoed in her ears.
Naruto leaned forward slightly.
"Hinata, are you sure you're okay?"
Hinata squeaked.
"Yes! I-I'm fine… I just… I just…"
Naruto cut in confidently:
"You don't have to say anything. I already understand!"
Hinata blinked from under the blanket.
"…Naruto-kun? Yani… anladın mı?"
"Of course!" Naruto puffed out his chest.
"My Wind Style: Whirlwind Fist was too strong and accidentally injured you!"
Hinata had no idea how to respond.
But she nodded anyway.
"Y-Yes… Naruto-kun's new Ninjutsu is… amazing…"
Naruto bowed deeply, practically folding in half.
"I'm really sorry, Hinata! You helped me so much today, and I still ended up hurting you!"
Hinata's gentle smile peeked out.
"Önemli değil, Naruto-kun…"
She tightened the blanket around her, hiding the blush spreading across her cheeks.
"But… Naruto-kun'un Wind Body Vibration Technique'i… gerçekten çok etkileyici…"
"Of course!" Naruto grinned, immediately recovering his confidence.
"That's my new ultimate move! Even Sasuke can't stop it! And Hyuga Neji—he's definitely doomed!"
Hinata nodded earnestly.
"Yes… I believe Naruto-kun…"
Naruto continued proudly:
"Actually, Hinata, your Gentle Fist defenses are amazing too! No matter how I attack, you always block or deflect everything!"
Hinata blinked, surprised.
"Really, Naruto?"
"Really! You're super strong!"
Something clicked inside Hinata's mind.
He always avoided hurting people.
He disliked attacking others.
But if he focused on defense…
If he mastered Gentle Fist's defensive styles…
Wouldn't he become invincible?
A wall that no one could break?
Maybe that was the path meant for him all along.
"Teşekkür ederim, Naruto-kun," he whispered.
"I… think I understand what kind of Ninja I want to become."
Naruto shot her a thumbs-up.
"That's the spirit! You can create your own move too—something like Protective Gentle Fist Eight Trigrams Palm!"
Hinata's eyes sparkled.
"Protective… Gentle Fist Eight Trigrams Palm… Naruto-kun, I'll work hard!"
People often couldn't see their own strengths clearly.
But a single comment from another person could illuminate a whole new path.
Naruto's simple words were enough to inspire Hinata.
"Teşekkür ederim, Naruto-kun," she said softly.
Naruto waved his hand.
"Why are you thanking me? You're always helping me!"
Hinata's smile grew warmer.
"True… but Naruto-kun da bana çok yardımcı oldu…"
"I-I'll do my best. Naruto-kun'un yanında durmak, onunla birlikte savaşmak istiyorum…"
Naruto didn't understand the deeper meaning of her words.
He simply grinned and raised his thumb again.
"Alright! Let's work hard together!"

Naruto's Intense Summer Training
The rest of the summer vacation passed quickly.
Hinata continued to help him train, offering guidance and feedback with her Gentle Fist precision and calm analytical style.
Outside those lessons, Naruto trained alone tirelessly.
He practiced until sweat drenched his shirt and chakra exhaustion left him gasping.
Rather than learning new jutsu, he focused on mastery—refining every technique he already knew to the highest possible level.
Previously, his control had been sloppy.
He could perform many techniques, but only at partial proficiency.
Now…
After more than ten days of concentrated training—
He had grown dramatically.
His techniques were sharper.
His chakra flow was smoother.
His moves transitioned fluidly from one to another.
As the final days of summer ticked by, Naruto eagerly checked his status.

Naruto nodded with satisfaction.
"Hmmm… even the lowest one, Clone Technique, is now at 90!"
"All other Ninjutsu and Taijutsu are above 90!"
"Except Shuriken Technique… but I really didn't practice much… so 80 is acceptable."
His face grew thoughtful.
"And the Wind Body Vibration Technique and Whirlwind Fist are only in the 80s. Hard techniques like those take longer…"
He checked the academic section.
"Academics are around 90 on average too!"
A grin spread across his face.
"If I took the exam again, I'd definitely rank first!"
But the true joy came from one number alone:
1080 Chakra Points
He had achieved his goal.
Naruto's chakra volume had finally surpassed 1000—
a threshold equal to, or even greater than, many Jonin.
And the growth wasn't slowing down.
His chakra increased rapidly every day.
This was his biggest advantage.
Naruto clenched his fists.
"All that's left is real combat experience…"
He had fought countless battles in dreams, simulations, and training.
But they weren't life-and-death clashes.
A true Ninja mission involved unpredictable danger, traps, ambushes, and decisions under pressure.
Naruto understood this well.
He still lacked experience.
But with determination burning inside him—
he would overcome that weakness too.
