When Sasuke and Sakura finally stopped yelling at each other, all three of them went to the park. Naruto seemed to be feeling much better , he was smiling. They were walking in the park when Sakura asked.
"Naruto, I know I said all that stuff in Ichiraku but... Aren't you gonna talk to Hinata? It's not about me, it's about your relationship with Hinata."
"Don't worry about it, Sakura-chan" Naruto smiled.
" If you say so, but still..." Sakura frowned.
"You can talk yo her right now." Sasuke said out of nowhere.
"W-What?" Naruto was shocked and confused.
"There." Sasuke pointed to the girl with dark hair that was staring at them with wide and shocked eyes.
"Hinata-chan..." Naruto was still shocked. Hinata, of all people, was here? Right now?! " Bye guys!" Naruto turned around to walk away, but Sasuke and Sakura stopped him.
"Go talk to him, Naruto" Sakura encouraged and half-smiled.
"But-"
"No buts , Dobe." Sasuke pushed him.
"Hey, Teme- Uh-um Hinata-chan, h-hey. What are you doing here?" He managed to say.
"Oh... Um, Naruto-kun... I-uh, I was looking for... Looking for..."
"Neji" Naruto finished for her and sighed.
"Yeah" Hinata looked down. " I know there's no way for me to find him but I just can't sit and do nothing..."
"Yeah, I get it." Naruto looked away. " I didn't do it, you know."
"Yes."
"What?"
"I know, I'm sorry, Naruto-kun! It's just when I heard the news and when they told me they blamed you, I-I snapped. I was just too frustrated to think straight and that's why I said all that stuff. I know I hurt you, and I understand if you can't forgive me, I just- I'm just very sorry." Hinatas eyes were full of tears she was about to cry.
"Hinata-chan... I am so glad that you believe me!" Naruto exclaimed and hugged Hinata so tight it was hard for her to breath.
"N-Naruto-kun?"
"Of course, I forgive you! I love you after all!" he grinned " I understand that you were just very worried about Neji and all. So don't worry about it okay?"
Hinata was just frozen. Did he just... Tell her that he loves her?
"Naruto-kun?"
"Yes"
"Did you just... Say that you love me?"
"Hm? Oh. Yes, why?"
"..."
"Hinata-chan? Are you okey?"
"Oh, NARUTO-KUN I LOVE YOU TOO." Naruto has never heard Hinata scream so loud before. He laughed and kissed her.
From the sidelines two teenagers were watching as couple walked down to the bridge. They were smiling. Naruto was happy and so was Hinata. And that made them happy too.
