A seemingly countless number of glittering, bright bubbles and spheres of sand are suspended around them.
Naruto and Hinata are jumping together, hand in hand. Using one sphere of sand as a foothold, and jumping onwards to the next sphere of sand…
While continuously leaping, they proceed to ascend the shaft.
As they pass by the bright, glittering bubbles in succession, the memories that are shared by the two of them are projected onto the surface of the bubbles that are closest to them,
It was the first time that they met in the forest…isn’t it from when she was being tormented as a young girl!
When Naruto rescued Hinata from the trio of mean boys who were teasing her.
Projected on the surface of one bubble was a recollection of the nostalgic lesson from Iruka from their Academy days…
On the last day of the world, personally, who would you want to be together with?
Iruka’s voice resounded through the inside of the shaft.
On the next bubble, the projected memory on the surface of it was that of Hinata’s gallant figure from when she was battling and protecting a wounded Naruto in the war against Pain….”Naruto-kun…
Because I love you!”
As Hinata recalls the memory of that time, she blushes a little.
As the two of them view reminiscent scenes, furthermore, again, they continue to proceed as they ascend.
However, the bottom was approaching as the room was collapsing.
They could hear the sounds gradually coming nearer from the bubbles of memories bursting and the spheres of sand cracking.
“Hinata, hurry up!”
“N..Naruto-kun!”
As Hinata fell…Naruto’s hand grasped Hinata’s arm just in time. Then, Naruto pulled Hinata towards himself, embracing her and carrying her like a princess, while still continuing to ascend.
“Hey, Hinata…
Do you remember back when Iruka-sensei had that one lesson, when he asked us about who we would want to be together with during the last day at the end of the world?”
In Naruto’s arms, Hinata nodded, bowing her head in assent.
“I wasn’t able to write down anyone’s name.
Since I didn’t know about my parents, and I also didn’t have any friends…
No one came to mind.
However, now I can clearly say my answer to the question. I want to be together with you.
Because from now onwards, always and forever until death, I want to be together with you, Hinata. “
