"Do you really mean that," Naruto asked.
"With all my heart," Hinata replied. Naruto allowed everything to sink in and as he thought more about it, he knew in his heart he felt the same for Hinata.
"I love you too, Hyuuga Hinata," Naruto said affectionately with a sincere smile. The Hyuuga heiress smiled happily as joyful tears fell down her face. She soon leaned down and kissed Naruto. The Jinchuuriki returned the kiss as he moved his arms around her to embrace her with their kiss deepening. Hinata too embraced and kissed Naruto back just as hotly, if not more as both teens were now in their own world they shared.
(The Next Day)
Everyone was back the academy. Today was the day they would be assigned their teams and Jounin-senseis. Many of the girls were gossiping with hopes of being paired with Sasuke and having a romantic relationship blossom with him with the many missions and adventures they would have with him. Some of the boys ignored them, Sasuke especially as he sat alone at his desk with his chin resting on his hands while his arms held his head up on the desk.
"You believe that a Genin team consisting of the Byakugan and Sharingan would be a formidable team. Sorry to say Sasuke but such a team wouldn't work as both bloodline limits are too different in their attributes and they do not complement each other's abilities."
Too different he says, Sasuke contemplated, He wasn't even willing to give such a formation a chance to test out if his theory was true.
Just then, Naruto and Hinata walked in together into the class but with one significant difference this time. Unlike how they would enter the classroom hand-in-hand, Naruto now had his right arm wrapped around her waist holding her close to him with her head resting on his right shoulder with her left arm wrapped around his waist, in a mannerism that an official couple would walk together. This didn't go unnoticed by the others either.
"Hinata," Sasuke whispered under his breath as he looked at the young girl, feeling that should have been him in Naruto's spot with Hinata in his arms.
"Let her go Sasuke," a voice said from behind. Sasuke turned to see Shikamaru standing behind him with his hands in his pants pockets.
"She clearly made up her mind," Shikamaru continued, "A long time ago in fact. You're not the one she wants and she's clearly happy being with Naruto and Naruto is genuinely happy being with her too. And seeing you trying to rival Naruto for her and failing to win her over has proven to be truly troublesome for me to watch for the past three years. If you really like her, you'd let her go and let her be happy with who she wants."
Sasuke grunted and gave Shikamaru no reply as he turned away from the Nara heir.
"She never led you on Sasuke," Shikamaru stated, "She never showed any form of interest in you as you have in her and she has always been seen together with Naruto. Frankly, all of us, including your fangirls, saw this coming and none of us are surprised to see them together like this."
"Are you done," Sasuke asked coldly.
"You may not want to hear what I'm saying let alone how bluntly I'm saying it," Shikamaru replied, "But you got to and for your own good, it's best to let go of whatever feelings you have for Hinata and move on to someone else. Accept it, Hyuuga Hinata doesn't like you."
"Go away," Sasuke replied, "You're proving to be a real thorn to my side right now. I have neither the time nor desire to listen you any further."
"What troublesome spectacle you've become," Shikamaru mocked, "The Rookie of the Year brooding over the fact that he couldn't steal the Dead Last's girlfriend after three years."
Sasuke growled and started seething bloodlust at Shikamaru before the Nara heir shrugged and walked off having finished saying what he felt he had to say. Sasuke turned back around to face the front of the class with his fists clenched tightly on top of his desk.
This isn't fair, Sasuke thought, The one girl I truly like and want chooses to be with the dobe! What could she see in him? He's an infamous troublemaker, does poorly in class with the lowest grades and is a shameless open pervert and he even peeps in women's bathhouses! So why…in spite of all this, why does she still like him and not me? I don't understand!
