Chapter 158: Ino's anger
"Is that how it is?" Hinata asked.
She and Naruto sat down to have a calm conversation after Ino stormed off.
At least the Hyūga heiress was willing to listen to him.
Naruto realized he'd made a mistake by being so open about wanting two companions.
In his old world, having more than one Dao Companion wasn't exactly a taboo, but it wasn't universally accepted either. He still remembered the day he told the Sword Fairy about his second companion, only for her to try to cut off his most important parts with her blade.
It had taken him weeks to convince her otherwise.
'I should've been more careful in my approach, especially in trying to understand how this world views relationships,' Naruto thought.
"Sorry, Hinata. I should have been more mindful with my words," he said sincerely.
Hinata smiled softly. "I wasn't mad at you...just a little disappointed to find out that I can't have you all to myself."
'That would make things easier,' Naruto thought wryly but kept the comment to himself.
The truth was, one person wouldn't be enough. He wasn't trying to be greedy, but even a talented kunoichi like Hinata wouldn't be able to provide the amount of yin chakra he'd need to maintain perfect balance.
Even with two, it would be difficult, but he couldn't ask for more.
"It was never my intention to make you feel like you were a second choice. I knew I wanted you from the beginning," Naruto said.
Hinata's cheeks flushed a deep red.
"But there's a reason I also need Ino. I know it may be hard to believe, but I'm nothing like Jiraiya," Naruto added.
"Show me, then," Hinata said, her expression turning serious.
"Show you?" Naruto asked, confused.
Hinata nodded. "I want you to show me that you really like me. If you can do that, I'm willing to accept sharing you with Ino."
"And how do I do that?" Naruto asked.
Hinata gave him a confident, and slightly mischievous smile he hadn't seen before. "Kiss me. That's how you can show me."
He was surprised for a short moment by the sudden request but quickly recovered. "I can do that," Naruto said, wasting no more time.
He wrapped one arm around her waist, pulling her close until their bodies touched. His other hand gently cupped her cheek as he leaned in, pressing his lips to hers.
Hinata moaned softly as he deepened the kiss, their tongues meeting in an intimate dance.
When they finally parted, her expression was one of pure satisfaction.
"How was it? Did I pass your test?" Naruto asked with a grin.
"Oh yes, you did," Hinata replied, her eyes glimmering with passion. "But I want to do that again."
"As much as you want. But first…I have to speak with Ino," Naruto said.
Hinata pouted. "Ino won't be easy to convince."
"I know that."
Hinata seems to be thinking about something. "She's never been one to share. Back in the Academy, she fought with Sakura for years over who would get to ask Sasuke out. It almost ruined their friendship," She explained.
"So, she's not the sharing type," Naruto mused.
"Not at all. So, good luck convincing her."
"Right…"
<><><><><><><><><><><><>
The first challenge was finding Ino, and doing so on an empty stomach since he still hadn't eaten.
Hinata had suggested looking in isolated places, reasoning that Ino would want to be alone.
After nearly an hour of leaping across rooftops, Naruto finally spotted her sitting on one of the Hokage Monument's stone heads.
She was so lost in thought that she didn't even notice when he sat beside her.
"Did you have to pick my father's head to sit on?" Naruto teased lightly. "Is kinda weird..."
Ino gasped in surprise. "Naruto?!"
He quickly reached for her hand as she almost lost her balance in shock.
She yanked her hand away after stabilizing herself. "I wasn't going to fall! I can attach myself to the stone with chakra, you know?"
"Right… I acted on instinct," Naruto admitted.
Ino frowned. "I came here because I didn't want to see anyone...especially you."
"Yes, I figured as much. But I still wanted to talk to you," Naruto said, his tone soft but determined.
Ino stood, glaring down at him. "We have nothing to talk about. I want no part in your harem or whatever it is that you're trying to build."
"That's not what I'm trying to do," Naruto said firmly.
"Then what is it?! Why do you need two girlfriends? Was I not enough for you? Or do you just prefer Hinata?" Ino's voice grew louder with every word.
Thankfully, no one was around to hear them.
"It's…complicated to explain," Naruto said carefully.
He knew this was a crucial moment. If he messed up, Ino would walk away...and from what he'd seen, it would be nearly impossible to find another so compatible with him.
"You can't explain it, huh?" Ino huffed, crossing her arms. "I thought you were a nice guy…"
"I never claimed to be," Naruto said, stepping closer. He gently took her hand.
"What are you doing? Let go of me," Ino demanded, trying to pull away.
But Naruto didn't let go. Instead, he guided her hand toward his head. "If you believe my motives are impure or disgusting, use your family's jutsu on me. Enter my mind and see for yourself."
"What?!" Ino exclaimed, stunned.
"You won't understand unless you see it. Go ahead. Get inside my mind...that's the only way I can convince you," Naruto said, his voice calm and steady.
