How?

Prompt: Hidden Love

Summary: Hinata doesn't know how to tell Naruto that she likes him. During the first part of the Chūnin Exams, the written portion. Hinata notices Naruto struggles with the test and offers, shyly, for Naruto to copy off her, not caring if he copies off her. Or her teammates failing. She just wanted to help Naruto. Naruto says no to her offer, and says he can do it himself. He never actually finished it. He just moved on with the rest of the teams, when the teacher said that it was a test of knowledge, to see who could actually get the most information without cheating. Most of the group were taken out, for being too obvious with their cheating tendencies. When the fighting exams came Naruto won against his opponent, catching him off guard with his Shadow Jutsu. Hinata offered him some ointment to clean up some cuts and bruises. Hinata's Mentor, Kurenai Yuhi, notched Hinata's "secret"crush on Naruto, and told her to give it it him, imitating a very awkward conversation, mostly because hinata is shy and often stutters around Naruto.
