Later, Naruto invited Hinata for a walk. They strolled to a more secluded area of the village, where Hinata couldn't help but notice the items Naruto carried in his hands.

"Are these flowers and the cake for me?" She asked, beaming.

She was so excited that she almost snatched them from Naruto's hands, but he quickly placed them on a stone bench. Then, he gently picked Hinata up in his arms and carried her to the stone table.

Hinata let out a small surprised sigh. Just as she was about to utter something, Naruto sealed her lips promptly. His tongue slid into her mouth, muffling her sounds.

"Mm... Mmmm!" Hinata was caught off guard and almost ran out of breath. She lightly tapped him twice, completely powerless.

In response, Naruto gently squeezed her slim waist, pulling her closer and deepening the kiss even further. This time, Hinata didn't bother about anything else, simply allowing herself to be carried away by the surge of emotions bubbling inside her.

As the air in her lungs started running out, Hinata couldn't resist clutching Naruto's arm. She felt overwhelming energy fermenting under his muscles, ready to burst. Her heart sped up, and blood rushed to her face, painting it a sudden blush.

After an indefinite period, the two finally parted, panting. Naruto hugged her and nestled his head into her shoulder, breathing heavily. Hinata's legs started to tingle from the position, and she was about to move when Naruto stopped her.

"Don't move yet. Can you stay like this for a while?" he asked.

As soon as Hinata shifted, she felt something warm on her neck. Quickly, she understood what was happening and obediently stayed still again.

Hinata was wearing a thin-strapped nightgown. To meet Naruto, she just grabbed a long robe and put it on before leaving the house. However, after the intimate interaction, the collar of the robe loosened a bit.

Naruto's mouth and nose could easily reach her exposed skin. The warm air he exhaled softly hit her ear, making Hinata involuntarily retract.

This minimal movement attracted Naruto's attention. "What's wrong?" he asked.

"It's a bit ticklish," Hinata confessed, embarrassed.

A subtle smile curved the corners of Naruto's mouth. "Then, I'll help you relieve the tickle."

Hinata thought to herself that if he intended to scratch, he should first move his head away. However, Naruto didn't use his hands as she expected. Instead, he used his mouth to caress that sensitive little area.

Far from relieving the tickle, his action only intensified it, sparking a tingling sensation that seemed to directly strike her heart. Just as Hinata was about to ask him to stop, Naruto ceased his movements, only to start gently pinching her earlobe.

A slight discomfort quickly turned into a numbing sensation that seemed to radiate from her coccyx to the top of her head. She couldn't avoid a shiver, followed by a soft moan.

When the sound escaped, they both froze for an instant. Hinata blushed deeply and, instinctively, covered her earlobe, casting him a reproachful look.

Naruto, while facing her now swollen lower body, could only smile bitterly. "This is really terrible."

'She had kissed him, so why did he have to bite her ear? Hinata grumbled to herself.' However, when she lifted her eyes, she saw Naruto slightly tilting his neck, his lips pursed as if making a supreme effort to restrain himself. As he panted, Adam's apple moved up and down. The sight of his restraint was so seductive that it aroused in her the desire to reciprocate the bite.

Although clearly affected, Naruto didn't stop observing Hinata's reactions. Aware that he might have provoked her too much, he handed her the bouquet of flowers and the chocolates he had brought.

"This is just a small token of my love for you," Naruto whispered into her ear.

Hinata shivered slightly at feeling his breath so close to her ear. Even though she expected the gift, upon receiving it, all previous frustration seemed to dissipate.

"Thank you, Naruto-kun," she murmured so softly that it could barely be heard.

A soft laugh escaped from Naruto, but he chose not to tease her further. Instead, the two remained silent, enjoying each other's presence for long minutes. They shared a quiet complicity, each immersed in their own thoughts, but united by the comfort of their mutual company.
