In any case, a dream is not a real event, so she doesn't need to take it seriously.
As night deepened, the candles went out, plunging the room into darkness and silence.
Hinata slowly closed her eyes.
Her breathing gradually became long and even, and her consciousness began to fade...
Before she knew it, Hinata drifted off to sleep.
After an unknown amount of time, Hinata vaguely sensed that the scenery around her had changed.
The soft bed was gone, replaced by a solid floor.
The rustling of leaves in the wind was no longer in my ears, but the faint sound of conversation.
Hinata was startled and suddenly opened her eyes, only to find herself standing in a dimly lit, spacious screening room.
Rows of seats were neatly arranged all around, and a huge curtain was in front of them, which was now completely dark.
This scene is exactly the same mysterious cinema from last time!
Hinata was stunned.
She opened her eyes wide and subconsciously looked around, feeling both surprised and suspicious.
Is this... the same place as last time?
I'm here again?
[Ding! Hinata Hyuga's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +200!]
"Hinata!"
Before Hinata could even react, a cheerful greeting rang out.
The figure waving at him from not far away was none other than Sakura Haruno.
Sakura ran over quickly, looking Hinata up and down with a grin: "Great, you're here today too!"
"S-Sakura...this is..."
Hinata saw her familiar companion and shyly moved to Sakura's side. Her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was slightly relieved, but she was still a little uneasy and didn't know what to say.
Sakura, on the other hand, seemed unfazed. She affectionately pulled Hinata's arm to sit down and said with a smile, "Don't be nervous. Just watch Naruto's dreams later."
She winked at Hinata, "Didn't you already see it once when you came last time?"
"Hmm..." Hinata nodded gently, her face slightly flushed.
Indeed, she had come here inexplicably once before, but she had just thought it was just a wild dream. She never expected... that she would come again.
Hinata then noticed that there was another person sitting not far away from her.
Sasuke was leaning back in his seat with his arms crossed, looking rather sour.
"Sa-Sasuke-kun is here too," Hinata said softly, somewhat surprised.
Sasuke glanced at her, turned his head away, snorted, and ignored her.
Sakura whispered in Hinata's ear, "I already told Sasuke about your visit last time. He didn't sleep that day and missed the dream, so you took his place."
Hinata nodded in realization, then glanced at Sasuke with some unease.
Sasuke understood all of this, of course. He wasn't surprised to see Hinata tonight, but his face was still sour as he muttered, "Tch, it wasn't my turn again today, damn it..."
Kakashi sat leisurely in the back row, holding a copy of "Icha Icha Paradise" and pretending to read it, but in reality, he was listening to the conversation of the others.
He glanced at Hinata casually, thinking to himself, "Hinata...it seems my dream tonight might be related to her."
Just then, the huge curtain in front of me suddenly lit up, and the scene appeared.
The image on the screen gradually became clear, showing a cozy two-story house in Konoha Village.
This is Naruto's house.
The camera zooms in inside the house, and Naruto appears in the frame, looking radiant.
"Great! It's me again!" Naruto in the video was so excited that he danced around and cheered loudly, his face beaming with barely suppressed excitement.
[Ding! Naruto's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +300!]
After the cheers subsided, Naruto ran down the stairs, shouting into the house as he ran, "Mom—!"
He had originally intended to find his mother, but upon rushing into the living room, he was surprised to discover that it seemed there were guests at home today.
On the sofa in the living room, a young girl dressed in a dark kimono was sitting upright.
She stood with her knees together, her hands flat on her knees, her back straight, her posture proper and elegant.
From the side, you can see her smooth, dark blue hair and her serene and beautiful profile.
It was none other than Hinata Hyuga!
Beside Hinata sat Naruto's mother, Kushina, with a kind smile on her face, telling Hinata some amusing anecdotes about everyday life.
Hinata sometimes listened attentively with her eyes wide open, and sometimes covered her mouth and chuckled, seemingly having a very harmonious conversation.
Hearing Naruto come downstairs, Kushina and Hinata both looked towards the stairwell.
As soon as Hinata saw Naruto, she hurriedly stood up from the sofa, bowed respectfully to him, and greeted him softly, "Hello, Naruto-kun."
Her manners and poise were impeccable, graceful and poised, only her slightly trembling voice betrayed her nervousness.
"Ah, hi..."
Naruto felt a little uncomfortable with Hinata's sudden, serious greeting. He scratched his blond hair and stammered a reply that sounded somewhat perfunctory and awkward.
Recalling the scene in his last dream where Hinata's father suddenly came to propose marriage, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
I never expected her to come to me in my dream again today, and it seemed like she was even making a formal visit!
He was caught in a dilemma and swallowed hard.
Chapter 66 With such limited capacity, how dare they even dream?
in the audience.
Hinata looked at the scene in her dream where she greeted Naruto, and her face suddenly turned hot, with a blush quickly spreading across her cheeks.
Why is "myself" from my dream visiting Naruto again?
And Hinata in the dream has such a noble lady vibe, doesn't she?
Hinata was both embarrassed and flustered. She never expected that Naruto would think of her as such a dignified and elegant person. How embarrassing!
[Ding! Hinata Hyuga's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +400!]
Sakura was also surprised by what she saw on the screen.
She secretly glanced at Hinata beside her. The real Hinata was still the same shy girl she remembered, with her head down and her hands nervously twisting the hem of her clothes. There was not a trace of the composure of the young lady in her dream.
Sakura couldn't help but pout and scoff, "Naruto's doing this kind of thing in his dreams again. Is he going to propose marriage again?"
[Ding! Sakura Haruno's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +200!]
Hinata, who was standing to the side, was so embarrassed when she heard the words "marriage proposal" that she wanted to bury her face in her hands, only her panicked eyes peeking at the screen.
Sasuke stared at the screen with a resentful expression, inwardly cursing Naruto for wasting an opportunity.
Naruto, you idiot, you wasted such a good opportunity!
The dream world is such a great training ground, and his father is the Fourth Hokage!
As a result, this guy keeps dreaming about random things, which is such a waste.
If it were me, I would never waste such a good opportunity.
He even secretly thought that if he were in a dream, he would definitely not mess around.
I should be the one to have this dream!
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Sasuke have been detected! Emotional value +300!]
Kakashi, sitting in the back row, nodded slightly upon seeing this, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Sure enough, the plot of the dream was closely related to the audience present.
Hinata came tonight, and so Hinata's image appeared in my dream.
Just as he had predicted.
……
on the screen.
In the living room, Naruto stood there scratching his head, unsure of what to do next.
Kushina then gave Hinata an apologetic smile: "Hinata, excuse me for a moment."
After saying that, she quickly walked to Naruto's side, grabbed his arm and pulled him to a corner, saying in a low and urgent voice, "Naruto, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and go and entertain Hinata!"
"Hosting? How do I entertain? I don't know how!" Naruto was pulled aside by his mother, muttering to himself with a blank expression.
Seeing his silly look, Kushina couldn't help but roll her eyes. She then reached into her apron pocket, pulled out a few bills, and stuffed them into Naruto's hand: "Take Hinata out for some fun. Go shopping, have a meal, see a movie, anything! Don't let that girl stay cooped up at home, you hear me?"
"Eh—? Going out shopping?" Naruto's mouth dropped open, looking extremely reluctant. "I..."
[Ding! Naruto's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +300!]
He muttered and pouted, but in his heart he would rather stay and keep his mother company. What's so fun about shopping?
"Enough with the nonsense!" Kushina glared at her son. "Just go when I tell you to! Remember what the clan leader mentioned last time?"
“But didn’t you reject them last time…” Naruto muttered.
He remembered clearly that his mother had refused the marriage proposal from the Hyuga clan to his face, so why was she now asking him to go out and play with Hinata?
Kushina paused slightly upon hearing this, then sighed helplessly and poked Naruto's forehead: "Idiot! Mom refused back then only because she didn't want your life's major event to be decided by an arranged marriage. But I didn't say you couldn't have normal contact with Hinata. You two had a good relationship to begin with, so why would I object?"
She thought for a moment, then quietly added, "Besides, look at Hinata, how well-behaved and sensible she is..."
Naruto stumbled back a step after being poked, clutching his forehead and looking completely bewildered: "Oh..."
Although she still didn't quite understand the deeper meaning behind her mother's words, she at least understood Kushina's attitude.
She doesn't object to her interacting with Hinata normally.
