Kushina had already put down her chopsticks and bowl. Hearing that there were guests at the door, she hurriedly dried her hands and came out.
When she saw who was standing outside the door, she was slightly taken aback: "Isn't this the Hyuga clan leader?"
"Hello, Mr. Hiashi." Kushina quickly greeted him, her face beaming with a warm smile. "What a rare guest! Minato went to the Hokage Building early this morning. If you need to see him, you can go to the office building over there..."
Kushina assumed that the other party must have something important to discuss with her, given that they had come in person with such a large entourage.
She dared not be negligent, being polite and courteous, and even made sure to smooth things over for her husband.
Hiashi smiled faintly and said gently, "You misunderstand. I brought my daughter here to visit, not to see the Hokage."
As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Naruto, who was standing to the side, and his eyes revealed a hint of affection: "Actually, I came here specifically to find Naruto."
“Looking for…me?” Naruto was completely stunned.
Kushina, standing to the side, also looked completely astonished.
……
auditorium.
Sakura was also somewhat surprised to see this.
"Wait, wait a minute... Hinata, isn't that you on the screen?!"
On the giant screen, the girl appearing at Naruto's doorstep was clearly Hinata herself!
[Ding! Sakura Haruno's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +200!]
Hinata was also stunned. She never expected that she would "appear" at Naruto's doorstep!
Although the "Hinata" in the video looked exactly like her, she, as a viewer, felt a strange and shocking feeling.
Why would the father bring "himself" to visit Naruto's house?
And judging from the looks of it, they even prepared a gift?
Hinata was both surprised and suspicious, her little mind was in complete turmoil, but she was mostly overjoyed!
That's right.
Do Naruto-kun dream about me too? If that's the case...
[Ding! Hinata Hyuga's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +300!]
Kakashi's expression suddenly turned serious.
He stared at the figures of the Hyuga father and daughter on the screen, his brows furrowing even deeper: "Hinata just happened to enter this space tonight, and then Hinata immediately appeared in Naruto's dream... This is too much of a coincidence."
Kakashi keenly realized that this was probably not just a simple coincidence, but rather concealed some kind of pattern that he had not yet figured out.
Could it be that Naruto's dream world automatically changes based on the identity of the audience entering it?
If that's the case, then the abilities of the person behind all of this are simply beyond comprehension.
Kakashi's mind raced, but he remained outwardly calm, simply whispering reassuringly, "Don't take this dream too seriously."
Hinata nodded blankly, forcibly suppressing her pounding heart, and turned her gaze back to the screen.
on the screen.
Naruto and Kushina were both puzzled when they heard that the Hyuga clan leader had come to see them.
Why did the Hyuga clan leader come looking for Naruto?
Naruto's mind went completely blank.
"Aren't you going to invite us in for a bit?" Hiashi Hyuga said jokingly, looking at the mother and son who were standing there in a daze.
Kushina also looked embarrassed: "Look at me, how rude of me. Mr. Hiashi, please come inside and talk."
The Hinata father and daughter stepped into the foyer.
Hinata obediently changed into indoor slippers and followed behind her father, carefully holding the gift box in her hands.
She lowered her head slightly, so nervous that she even breathed softly.
Is this Naruto's house?
It feels so warm and cozy... unlike my own home, which is cold and imposing. Every corner exudes a warm atmosphere.
Hinata secretly glanced around.
The living room was simply but neatly arranged, with several family photos hanging on the wall.
There are adorable photos of Naruto as a newborn baby, as well as family portraits.
In the photo, Minato is smiling gently as he embraces Kushina and young Naruto, creating a heartwarming and joyful scene.
"Please sit down." Kushina led the father and daughter to sit on the sofa, while she herself sat down opposite them.
Naruto was still a little dazed. He obediently sat down next to his mother, his blue eyes staring blankly at the Hyuga clan leader and Hinata in front of him, completely unaware of what had happened.
"Mr. Hiashi, may I ask what brings you here today?" Kushina asked tentatively.
Upon hearing this, Hiashi Hyuga put down his teacup and smiled slightly, saying, "It's nothing much. I just heard that Naruto graduated from the Ninja Academy with top marks, so as an elder, I came here to congratulate him."
As he spoke, he patted Hinata beside him, "Hinata, do you remember what I told you before?"
Hinata trembled upon hearing this, nearly dropping the gift box in her hand in her nervousness.
She quickly clutched the box tightly with both hands, her face flushing red instantly, and stammered, "I...I..."
Naruto, seeing Hinata suddenly blush and stammer, was even more confused. He tried his best to be polite and serious, saying, "Um... Hinata, is there something you need?"
Hinata blushed even more at Naruto's question, her mind going completely blank. She timidly handed over the beautifully packaged gift box, saying, "Naruto-kun, this... here, for you..."
After she finished speaking, she had almost exhausted all her strength and was so ashamed that she wished she could disappear into the ground.
in the audience.

"Hinata! Hinata, what's wrong?"
Sakura turned her head and saw Hinata next to her with her cheeks flushed and her hands covering her chest, breathing rapidly. It was clear that Hinata in reality was also quite shocked by this scene in the dream.
Sakura was both worried and exasperated: "Seriously, Naruto is such an idiot! He dreamt about me confessing to him just two days ago, and now he's fantasizing about it again in his dreams..."
She stomped her foot in embarrassment and annoyance, and said angrily, "Why is every girl like this in his dreams? It's just too much!"
Hinata, standing to the side, was so embarrassed that she wished she could disappear into a hole in the ground.
She twisted the hem of her clothes in her hands, her head bowed, her forehead almost buried in her chest, and she kept muttering softly, "How could Naruto-kun have such a dream... How could Naruto-kun have such a dream..."
His whole body was steaming like a boiling kettle.
Sakura was speechless upon seeing this: "???"
She had intended to join Hinata in criticizing Naruto, but Hinata herself looked so shy and excited that she was about to faint. This left Sakura speechless, wondering if she had seen things wrong.
Hinata, aren't you angry?! You're actually happy?!
This isn't right.
Kakashi's pupils constricted in surprise at what was happening on the screen.
He never expected things to unfold like this today, and for a moment he was still a bit stunned.
Just as the two girls in the audience were experiencing extreme emotional highs and lows, Shiyu, who was hiding in the shadows, was overjoyed.
In a short while, the emotion value on the system panel kept increasing and refreshing.
As expected of Hinata, the Steam Princess, she truly lives up to expectations!
If I had known that Princess Hinata was so capable, I should have brought her in sooner.
When it comes to the efficiency of providing emotional value, who can compare to Hinata, who is blushing and steaming right now?
Chapter 29 is already considered an age where engagement is possible.
Naruto blankly accepted the exquisite gift box.
Looking down, I saw a beautiful red ribbon tied to the box.
"Is this... for me?"
He was still a little confused, blinking and staring blankly at Hinata.
He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Hinata was trembling slightly when she gave him the gift.
It was quiet all around.
Kushina Uzumaki stood beside Naruto, looking at her son's stunned expression, and couldn't help but sigh and rub her forehead, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and thank them! Didn't I always teach you to be polite?"
Although her tone was somewhat reproachful, she still had a smile on her face.
"Ah, yes, yes!" Naruto finally realized what was happening and quickly bowed deeply to Hinata, saying loudly, "Thank you, Hinata!"
A blush of embarrassment spread across his face.
This was the first time in his life he had received a gift from a girl.
Hinata saw Naruto thank her earnestly, and she hurriedly took a half step back, muttering a soft "Um..." before becoming too embarrassed to lift her head.
Seeing this, Kushina smiled slightly and apologized to Hiashi on behalf of her silly son, saying, "I'm so sorry, Clan Head Hiashi. Naruto is usually very polite, I don't know what's wrong with him today..."
She smiled and glared at Naruto, gesturing for him to sit properly and not lose his composure.
Hiashi Hyuga waved his hand and laughed heartily, "It's alright, it's alright."
As he spoke, he looked his daughter and Naruto up and down, then nodded meaningfully, saying, "It seems these two kids have had a pretty good relationship since they were little, and they seem to like each other a lot..."
Kushina looked puzzled upon hearing this: "Mr. Hiashi, please speak frankly. Bringing Hinata-san here specifically for this purpose must be more than just bringing a gift, right?"
She knew in her heart that the Hyuga clan head's special visit with Hinata was definitely not just for the purpose of bringing gifts.
Hearing Kushina's direct question, Hiashi's smile widened, but he didn't answer immediately. Instead, he hesitated for a moment, cleared his throat, and solemnly announced, "Since that's the case, then I'll get straight to the point. Naruto and Hinata have both graduated from the Ninja Academy and are now 12 years old. In the Sengoku period, this age was considered an age for engagement."
"The two children have been good friends since they were little. My daughter Hinata has always admired Naruto. So I was thinking, could we take this opportunity to arrange a marriage between them?"
Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became quiet.
