Six months ago, Hiruzen's House.
''Naruto, come here. I have a gift to you for graduating and officially become a Genin, it's more like I'll return it to a worthy owner, though.'' Looking towards Naruto with a small but gentle smile, Hiruzen said.
Naruto nodded slightly, his curiosity almost oozing out after Hiruzen took a beautiful sword out of a sheath, it was a black-colored sword with shining, bloody red-colored lines running across its blade, that looked like spiraling lines, its handle also being black-colored, five golden-colored, diamond-shaped symbols on each side of it.
If one looked with attention, they would see a thin, almost transparent rune interconnecting with the rest, with its golden color, it was akin to a golden-colored Chain within the Sword itself.
''This sword was once owned by your mother because it is an inheritance from the Uzumaki Clan, only the Uzumaki's Royalty can use it, however, even Kushina wasn't able to wield it, mainly because her Kenjutsu was... well, I prefer not to talk about it, however, I'm sure that you'll be able to use it.'' Hiruzen said before putting the sword in its sheath.
Looking towards the Sword, Naruto said ''Despite being, uh, a rather beautiful Sword, it doesn't look anything out of ordinary, so, what makes that sword special enough that only Uzumaki's royalty can use?'' his voice contained slight curiosity even though he already knew about it.
Sword of Whirlwinds was a Sword passed ever since the Uzumaki Clan was created and only the Clan Heads could use it, it is a Sword made of the best material for each part, be its blade or its handle.
...
A few days had passed ever since Naruto talked with Sasuke, he also talked with Sakura and Shikamaru and only had one more person to say bye, somehow, it was just hard for him to say bye.
Hinata Hyuuga, every time he wanted to say bye, it was like his words were struck at the end of his throat, threatening to go all the way back, however, Naruto had decided himself, they were leaving today, as such, he needed to say bye.
And Naruto had the perfect way to do so, the blonde teenager knew that if he tried to say bye, it wouldn't work, as such, he thought about another way.
''Ino, can you show me the most beautiful flower of this shop?'' Naruto asked while passing by Ino's flower shop, raising her eyebrows curiously, Ino was about to ask but decided not to, she's not familiar with Naruto enough to say so, after all.
After paying, Naruto left with a beautiful yellow-colored and a beautiful purple-colored flower, one on each of his hands, leaving Ino, that sighed while thinking sadly 'When will Sasuke-kun do that for me, ah...'
Hinata was wandering through Konoha, today was one of the rare days she wasn't training till exhaustion, however, her eyebrows were furrowed 'What is this bad sensation? It's like something bad will happen...'
Her beautiful, white-purplish eyes widened slightly after seeing Naruto, that suddenly appeared in front of her with two flowers, one being yellow-colored and the other being purple-colored, his hands stretched forward slightly as he seemed to give them to her.
''A-Ah... Is this to m-me?'' Hinata was blushing from ear to ear after seeing the flowers, they were the exact color of their hairs, she wondered if that was on purpose or just a coincidence, even so, her heartbeat was at miles per second.
Naruto didn't say anything, along with the flowers, a letter stopped in the palm of Hinata, the purple-bluish-haired girl was having a shyness attack - maybe her incredibly fast heartbeat increased to that fact - as such, Hinata didn't open the letter.
Her blush deepened by a shade or two as Hinata saw Naruto's head slowly coming near her face as her heartbeat exploded in what seemed to be the speed of sound, Naruto lips slowly met her forehead before he disappeared.
Touching her forehead after Naruto's disappearance, smoke started coming out of Hinata's head before she fell unconscious, before she could fall to the ground, a member of the Hyuuga's Branch caught her, it was a female, the entire time, she could've stopped it but knew that in both strength and status, Naruto was now far away from her, instead, she kept thinking 'Go for the win, Hinata-sama! I'm cheering for you!'
After kissing Hinata's forehead, Naruto's face was indifferent but his mind was extremely chaotic, it was a technique that Kakashi taught him 'Stoic expression in the midst of chaotic feelings, the art of the Stoic Face', he honestly thought it is a stupid name but as of now, Naruto was extremely grateful of it.
Naruto was already at the entrance gate of Konoha, where Jiraiya, Haku and Karin were waiting for him, the blonde teenager had such chaotic feelings that he didn't even notice Karin jumping towards him, however, Haku is a swift youngster, as such, he didn't lose time before creating a Crystal Wall, stopping Karin on her tracks.
''You damn trap! You always stop me from hugging Naruto-kun when I have the chance, damn it! Imma break your pretty face to pieces!'' Karin shouted towards Haku, however, the long-haired youngster didn't seem to hear her.
'Scary... Why woman, even when they're young, they're so damn scary?' Jiraiya thought dejectedly, there wasn't a single woman he knew that wasn't violent or scary, be it Kushina or Tsunade and now Karin.
Poking the side of Naruto's head with his index finger, Jiraiya said ''Oi, are you here? Let's go, we can't lose time, Konoha can't be without a Hokage for long and that Kakashi brat doesn't want to become the new Hokage so we need to go for Tsunade!''
Naruto finally came out of his chaotic feelings and was back to reality, hearing Jiraiya words and the eager expression of Karin, even Haku was eager to search for Tsunade, she's known through the entire world, both of them wondered the time they would talk to her, such a famous Shinobi.
'What about me? I'm also one of the Legendary Sannin, you know? I'm also a world-wide known Shinobi! Damn it, they always forget about the Great me...' Jiraiya thought sadly, these kids don't stop giving blows to his confidence.
Then, they left Konoha, their destination is only known to them, meanwhile, two Akatsuki members were within Konohagakure, their reasons being obvious - to find the Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi.

Poor Hinata. Also I have been wondering something. Will we get to see Naruto's and Hinata's relationship progress? Or is it going to be a here you go. They're are together now and be done with it?
I would like to see them get to know each other and also rely on each other. Maybe Hinata can heal some of Naruto's emotional wounds. It would be pretty sad to see her being forgotten (as a character that is relevant to the story) as Naruto will clearly get more and more powerful.
It happens a lot in stories with romance and overly powerful characters. Once the MC gets their lover, they become irrelevant to the story. They are not powerful enough to help MC. And since they are now finally with the MC, they are no longer needed as a pivotal part of the story. Plus since romance is not a key aspect of the story, there is no moments dedicated to interaction between MC and lover.
Which brings me to this question...Why even include romance? If they are only used as a weakness to the MC so that enemies can damage the MC...that's just poor story telling. If it happens once or twice, sure. But if that is the sole reason for the existence of a lover for the MC...man just get rid of romance all together and have one of MC's friends get captured instead.
I am not sure how you will handle Naruto's and Hinata's relationship. But I hope that Hinata is not just there...well...to be there. Just another milestone before moving on with the story.
As always, thanks for the chapter.
While Hinata won't be getting much screentime as of now, in the future, she'll get screentime and will be actually important to the story - As the wise words that came out of Jiraiya's mouth
If there's something that can heal hate and anything... That is love.
Also, I won't use her as a weakness as I don't want 'this' her to be weak, she'll be strong enough to protect herself. Believe me, after reading a sh*t ton of Wuxia/Xianxia/Xuanhuan fics, I'm really annoyed of the MC''s loved ones to be taken and be used to threaten the MC. Hn.
From Yours Truly, Nyatsui.
NYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
@Nyatsui Awesome. Thanks for clearing that up. I was not concern with her screen time. I know it is still early in the story and they are not in a relationship. I was just worried of another helpless heroine. It is pretty common on stories with powerful MCs. As you stated, it gets very annoying seeing MC's loved ones being used to threaten MC. It really does nothing for the story if that is the sole reason for that event .
Anyhow, I look forward to the future of the story.
Also, since my name doesn't really rhyme with a laugh
