On the Sky Canopy, Hyuga Hinata stood directly in front of Naruto, shielding him behind her.

"How cruel... using black rod to pin Naruto down. I won't let you lay another finger on Naruto!"

"Reinforcements?" Deva Path Pain was indifferent; after all, the little girl before him was simply too weak.

Yet, the Naruto on the screen was deeply worried. "Why did you run here? Run away... You're no match for this guy at all."

"How could you run into such a dangerous place!"

Hinata ignored Naruto's concern, instead stating her thoughts with the firmest tone.

"It is my own will that drives me to stand here. This time, I will be the one to help, Naruto!"

The screen flashed quickly through Hinata's memories: the heavy responsibilities of the clan, and the disappointed look in Hyuga Hiashi's eyes when she, despite training diligently, was easily defeated by the younger Hanabi.

It also showed memories of young Hinata running out of the Hyuga Clan grounds, being bullied, and then being rescued by Naruto.

At this moment, Hinata's voice continued, filled with unwavering determination.

"It was Naruto who guided me in the right direction. I have always been chasing after Naruto, always wanting to walk side-by-side with Naruto!"

"It was Naruto's smile that saved me. So, as long as it is to protect Naruto... I am not afraid of death!"

She took a deep breath and shouted those words with all her might: "Because I love Naruto the most!"

After saying this, Hyuga Hinata assumed her fighting stance, activated her Byakugan, veins bulging on her face, ready to risk her life for Naruto.

Opposite her, Deva Path Pain remained indifferent. A black rod slid from his right sleeve, preparing to finish off this unexpected interloper.

Just then, Hinata made a move Pain did not expect. She swept her right leg and decisively kicked and broke one of the black rod binding Naruto. Just as she wanted to continue, Deva Path Pain raised his hand, and a powerful repulsive force instantly sent Hinata flying dozens of meters away.

However, Hinata did not lose heart; she headed towards Naruto, prepared to continue breaking the black rod.

Unfortunately, the gap in strength between her and Pain was simply too vast. She was sent flying again by the repulsive force, with blood even trickling down her face!

Year 60 of Konoha, Hyuga Clan grounds.

Hyuga Hinata's face was as red as could be. She covered her face with both hands, curling into a ball: "I... I said it. I said it in front of so many people..."

【What flows out before tears is courage; what is redder than blood is love. The purest love in the Shinobi World is treating a confession as a last testament. Hyuga Hinata waited fifteen whole years for these words. Who knows how many people, upon seeing this scene back then, knelt before their televisions begging Pain to stop.】

On the screen, Hinata used the Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists, continuing her attack toward Deva Path Pain!

White Chakra gathered on her fists in the shape of lion heads, carrying an unstoppable momentum!

Unfortunately, no matter from what angle she attacked, she was easily dodged by Pain.

However, just as Pain showed a look of disdain, Hinata seized the opportunity and landed a punch!

"Bang!" Deva Path Pain retreated slightly, a flash of surprise in his eyes.

Hinata seized the gap, flashed to Naruto's side, and punched with all her might! Another black rod was broken!

But, as Pain raised his hand, Hinata was sent flying by the repulsive force again! She flew into the air and then slammed down heavily!

"Bang!"

"Hinata!!!!!" The Naruto on the screen let out a heart-wrenching roar!

...

Year 48 of Konoha, Hokage's Office.

Uzumaki Kushina clenched her hands, moved to tears.

"How excessive, this Nagato!"

She wiped away her tears, "Hinata is such a child... wonderful... truly wonderful."

At this moment, Uzumaki Kushina had already wholeheartedly accepted Hinata as her future daughter-in-law.

"Sigh... Hinata hasn't been born yet, right? I really want to see her. Once she is born, she must grow up with Naruto."

Minato Namikaze frowned, equally furious at Nagato. If it weren't for the threat of that guy Obito, he would have even wanted to go to the Land of Rain to find Nagato. How hateful!

He is also a disciple of Master Jiraiya, so why treat Naruto and Hinata this way?

Year 60 of Konoha, Hyuga Clan grounds.

Hyuga Hiashi's eyes were full of heartache.

He didn't expect Hinata to have such courage! Facing the leader of the Akatsuki with Super Kage-level strength, he was afraid he wouldn't even dare to step forward. Yet, the daughter who he thought was weak, untalented, and unsuitable to inherit the main family, dared to charge toward death again and again for the person she loved.

Although he wanted to say some harsh words, thinking about how his own strength was indeed lacking, he had no confidence.

He thought to himself, since Hinata has the most potential, maybe he should try everything to help her awaken the Tenseigan!

Otherwise, facing these super-powerful enemies in the future, the Hyuga Clan would appear so powerless.

By the way, let the current Shinobi World feel the shock of the Tenseigan; perhaps it could even make Hinata a powerhouse at the Six Paths-level!

...

On the training ground.

Watching the figure on the Sky Canopy being sent flying again and again, only to climb back up each time, Naruto was completely stunned.

Is this still the strange Hinata he remembered?

His hands clenched subconsciously, and he couldn't bear to watch anymore. Yet, he couldn't take his eyes off the screen.

At the same time, a different kind of feeling quietly sprouted in his heart.

Can a person go to such lengths for the one they love?

Year 83 of Konoha, Hokage's House.

"Argh! So angry!" Boruto and Himawari were almost crying from anger.

Watching their mother being sent flying again and again on the Sky Canopy, and the blood streaming down her face, they couldn't stop their tears.

"Mom..." Himawari threw herself into Hinata's arms. "Did it hurt a lot back then?"

Boruto said viciously: "Dad, your senior disciple is too evil! If I could go back to the past, I would definitely beat him up!"

"Anyway, I'm very strong in the future. If I get the chance, I must hit him just like on the Sky Canopy."

Listening to Boruto's words, black lines flashed across Naruto's forehead, and then he gently patted the heads of the two children. Although he had experienced this personally, watching it through the Sky Canopy still made his heart ache.

Hyuga Hinata sat to the side, looking at the two children, her eyes full of tenderness: "Alright, alright, that's all in the past."

"Isn't Mom doing just fine now?"

Himawari looked up at her with teary eyes: "Mom, you're so brave."

Hinata smiled, "Because that was the person Mom loved the most."

Hearing this, Naruto was instantly moved and hugged his family tightly in his arms.
