Episode Title: "Karma and Comfort"

[Opening Scene: High School Hallway*

The camera pans through a vibrant high school bustling with students. We see Naruto Uzumaki, a quirky and determined loner, navigating through a crowd of popular kids. Laughter and teasing fill the air as we focus on Nagatoro Hayase, the confident and mischievous girl who loves to provoke Naruto, accompanied by her charming boyfriend, Sasuke Uchiha.*

Nagatoro* (smirking) "Hey, Naruto! Still dreaming about being a hero? Or are you just here to be our personal punching bag?"

Naruto, trying to muster his typical bravado, forces a smile but feels the sting of her words. He brushes past her, pretending it doesn't bother him.*

The teacher announces a marriage project where students must partner up. Naruto's heart sinks as he realizes he's paired with Nagatoro.*

Teacher* "Naruto and Nagatoro, you'll be working together. Remember, this project counts for a significant part of your grade!"

Naruto groans internally, while Nagatoro smirks, clearly excited to have him at her mercy for the project.*

[Scene Transition: Naruto's Home*

Later that evening, Naruto sits on his bed, staring at his homework. The laughter and teasing from school replay in his mind. He shakes his head, trying to focus on his goals.*

Naruto* (to himself) "I'll prove them all wrong... I'll be Hokage one day!"

Outside, a storm brews, and the thunder rumbles ominously.*

[Scene Transition: Nagatoro's Room*

Nagatoro sits in her room, scrolling through social media, her heart sinking as she sees photos of Sasuke with her best friend. Tears fill her eyes as she realizes she's been betrayed.*

Nagatoro* (whispering) "How could he do this to me?"

The storm outside intensifies, lightning flashing through her window. She feels overwhelmed, a mix of anger and sadness swirling within her.*

[Scene Transition: Outside Naruto's Door*

As the storm rages on, Nagatoro stands outside Naruto's door, hesitating. She takes a deep breath, fighting against her pride and fear.*

Nagatoro* (murmuring to herself) "I can't believe I'm doing this…"

She knocks frantically. Naruto, surprised by the unexpected visitor, opens the door.*

[Scene: Naruto's Bedroom*

The moment he sees her, Naruto's expression shifts from confusion to concern. He notices her shaking, tears streaming down her face.*

Naruto* "Nagatoro? What's wrong?"

Nagatoro* (voice trembling) "Can I… can I sleep with you? I'm scared of the dark and the lightning…"

For a moment, Naruto wants to tease her, to remind her of all the times she bullied him. But the vulnerability in her eyes stops him.*

Naruto* (sighing) "Uh, sure… but just for tonight, okay?"

He steps aside, letting her in. As she enters, he closes the door, and they both sit on the bed, the storm raging outside.*

[Scene Transition: Later that Night*

As they lie in bed, the tension between them is palpable. Nagatoro curls up, trying to find comfort. Naruto glances at her, realizing how different she looks without her usual bravado.*

Naruto* (softly) "You know, you're not so scary when you're like this."

Nagatoro shoots him a glare, but it lacks its usual bite.*

Nagatoro* "Shut up, Naruto. I'm just… I'm just tired, okay?"

They both fall silent, listening to the storm outside. Slowly, the atmosphere shifts from one of tension to an unexpected camaraderie.*
