Hatata's sudden appearance surprised Naruto.
However, he did not show any signs of panic.
Hatata's gray eyes stared at Naruto. Seeing that his expression was normal, she could not help but feel a little sad.
Xiang Lin's heart skipped a beat as she looked at the delicate young lady in front of her.
She hugged Naruto's little hand tightly and looked at Hatata warily.
Her intuition told her that the girl in front of her was definitely related to Naruto.
Perhaps, they were once lovers?
Although Naruto did not express anything, the love in the girl's eyes was no less than his.
Seeing that Naruto was ignoring her, Hatata turned her gaze to Karen.
She had long red hair, regular facial features, and a hint of stubbornness. Her vigilant little eyes emitted an indescribable firmness.
Hatata secretly commented to Karen.
Even though she didn't know Xiang Lin's name.
Women's nature and keen intuition made the two girls realize that they could be opponents.
Therefore, love rivals usually didn't talk to each other.
They only communicated with their eyes.
Naruto patted Karen's head and broke the silence.
" Her name is Hatata, a young lady of the Hinata clan. She's a friend of mine from the Ninja Academy."
Friends... Just friends?
Hearing Naruto's introduction, Hatata felt a sharp pain in her heart.
Even Xiang Lin could not bear to see the sadness and grievance in her eyes.
However, this was a war that could not be compromised!
Before Naruto could introduce herself, Karen walked up to Hatata and said,
"My name is Karen, Naruto…Very, very good friends!"
She was afraid that Naruto would get angry if she said that she was her lover.
After all, between her and Naruto, she was on the weaker side.
Karen couldn't tell if Naruto had feelings for her too.
Hinata heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Karen's self-introduction.
Friends. So she was just a friend.
Hatata smiled at Karen in response.
But that was all.
The two girls fell silent again.
They sized each other up and stared at each other.
Although he didn't say anything, Naruto could clearly see the vigilance and hostility in his eyes.
He was not in the mood to get involved.
Naruto took Karen's hand and took out a key from his pocket."
"Go back and help me pack up first. I'll be back later."
This is the key to Naruto's house.
Hatata stared at the inconspicuous little key, and his aura instantly became extremely cold.
From the warmth of spring to the coldness of winter, it was the first time that Karen had seen a girl change so quickly.
However, Hatata's coldness was useless against her.
Karen happily took the key and slowly put it into her pocket as if it was a treasure.
"Yeah," she said.
As far as Xiang Lin was concerned, she was the absolute winner of this duel.
Even if it wasn't, it was still slightly better!
The two of them seemed to have completely ignored him…
Hatata bit her lips, her gray eyes instantly turning red.
She refused to let her tears flow.
However, the excruciating pain made it difficult for her to control it.
In the end, her tears were like dust, drifting with the wind.
Hatata tried her best to hold back her tears, but they still fell.
Seeing this, Xiang Lin tactfully left.
She wasn't backing down. She simply felt that staying here would cause Naruto even more trouble.
In order not to add to Naruto's troubles, Karen chose to temporarily retreat.
This was where Xiang Lin was smart.
After Karen left, only Naruto and Hatata were left.
Seeing Hatata crying like a pear blossom in the rain, Naruto had no choice but to go forward and wipe her tears.
Hatata grabbed Naruto's hand and rubbed it against her face.
"Naruto, you…You…"
"Forgive me, okay? Naruto..."
Hatata begged.
She swore that if God could give her another chance, she would go back to the time when Naruto asked her.
She would definitely nod without hesitation.
Naruto had been with her for too long, so long that she did not know what it felt like to lose him.
Later on, he lost it.
Hatata finally understood what it meant to be worse than death.
Years of companionship, years of encouragement.
Everything about Naruto was deeply engraved in Hatata's heart.
Naruto gently broke free from Hatata's hand and took out a scarf to help her wipe the tears off her face.
While wiping, Naruto said gently,"
"You didn't do anything wrong. It's just a personal choice."
" You're the young lady of the Hinata clan. I'm very clear that you have feelings for Kiba that you can't let go of."
"So, you don't need to cry."
Naruto wiped his tears gently, just like he used to.
However, the words that came out of her mouth were like sharp knives, stabbing into Hatata's heart.
Hatata gritted her teeth and said firmly," Naruto, I can't give up on you."
"For you, I can give up everything!”
Naruto nodded indifferently.
He retracted his hand, turned around, and said lightly," Muye's higher-ups are having a meeting. I want to attend."
Seeing Naruto's back getting further and further away, Hatata instantly collapsed.
She squatted on the ground and sobbed.
She didn't understand why a simple choice would bring her so much pain.
She clenched her little hands tightly as she looked at the crowded Woodleaf Village.
"Naruto, you don't believe me, but I will prove it to you!”
