AU "By definition, it means when two or more chemical elements bonded together that - wait, are you even listening Naruto?" Hinata paused looking up.

Post-war; A loose rewrite of The Last: Naruto the Movie. "Naruto The Last" was incredible but one very influential part bothered me...Though Naruto's character development was well-paced and refreshingly natural, I hated how it all came to happen by a genjutsu.
