Prologue
Sasuke Uchiha had faced many challenges in his life. He had survived wars, avenged his clan, and traveled the world in search of redemption.
But nothing—nothing—had prepared him for this.
For some reason, whenever he spoke to Hinata Hyuga, his words glitched. It had started as an innocent misstep. She had said "Good night," and instead of returning the simple, polite phrase, he had—completely unintentionally—told her to…
And from that moment on, his reputation in Konoha was ruined.
Rumors spread like wildfire.
Children whispered about him in the academy. Villagers exchanged knowing looks whenever he passed by. Naruto HOWLED with laughter every time he saw him.
And worst of all?
Hinata—sweet, polite, gentle Hinata—never seemed bothered by it.
If anything, she looked amused. Which only made Sasuke more confused.
He tried to fix it.
He tried to speak normally.
But every time, it got worse.
And now? Now, he had one mission.
To fix this. To restore his dignity. To learn how to say good night like a normal person.
