1. Chapter 1

Ch. 1: A New Love

Sakura could not believe her eyes as she witnessed Madara, Obito and the Ten-Tails being defeated by the Shinobi Alliance. Even after Naruto gave Kyubi's chakra to everyone, it took the unexpected arrival of the resurrected Hokages to bring the enemy down. After being released from Orochimaru's control, Minato gave the other half of Kyubi's chakra to Naruto. The most impressive fight was between Naruto, Hinata, and Kakashi vs. Obito.

Kakashi distracted Obito while Hinata used her 64 palms technique to immobilize him. Then Naruto hit him with a super Rasengan and left behind a massive crater. Obito lay on the ground barely alive and Kakashi delivered the final blow. Suddenly Naruto emerged from the crater carrying Hinata in his arms. In the midst of the chaos, Obito had sent a hailstorm of shriuken and kunai at Hinata. She was able to deflect most of them but not all. He yelled, "Sakura! Come quick! Hinata has been badly hurt!"

Sakura rushed to help heal Hinata's wounds and the damage was severe. As the healing process began, Naruto looked on with worry in his eyes. Kakashi observed that the look on Naruto's face was more than genuine worry for a comrade. He saw the look of someone worrying for another that they loved. When Hinata was finally healed, Naruto shook Hinata by her shoulders.

He exclaimed, "Hinata, don't scare me like that again. I thought that I was going to lose you. He hugged her tightly and Hinata was surprised by his action. Naruto continued with tears streaming down his face, saying, "I don't know what I would do without you. You are the only reason that we won today. You inspired me out of my despair. I want to thank you for always standing by me." Hinata lovingly wiped the tears from his eyes after hearing his touching words. Naruto looked fondly into Hinata's beautiful eyes and gave her a quick kiss.

Rather than being shy in front of everyone, Hinata returned the favor with a passionate kiss. Everyone was completely surprised except Kakashi. Sakura knew that Hinata loved Naruto, after hearing her confession when she stood against Pain. However, Sakura never knew that Naruto had feelings for Hinata. He had continuously asked Sakura out when they were young. She wondered, "What does Naruto see in Hinata? Why didn't he choose me?"
