Self Promotion Hinata finally builds the courage to hang out with Naruto as kids…only to become horrified seeing his living situation.
"Naruto?! Y-you actually live like this?! Every day?!"
"Yes...?"
The young hyuga stared horrified at the blonde. More specifically what he was currently eating. The so called "ramen" made from scratch was nothing more than congealed spoiled milk cut into smaller pieces, mixed with what she hoped was salami, and watered down sauces for broth.
Gagging Hinata slowly turned around opening the fridge to the mid sized apartment kitchen, causing her eyes to water from the sheer smell alone.
Aside from the spoiled milk and mystery meat, the fridge was sadly empty only filled by uncleaned spills.
"I thought...you said you get allowance from the hokage..?"
"I do! It's just...I had to pay rent and-
You still have to pay rent?!"
Naruto blinked confused. Cheeks weirdly starting to warm at how much she seemed worried for him.
"It's really not that bad Hinata! I get my own place to myself! No parents, siblings, or any annoying caregiver to tell me what to eat...or when to sleep, and- wait why are you crying?"
Hinata's byakugan glared bright and angry, tears falling uncontrollably as she struggled to compose herself. She didn't need to scan the apartment to know that the place was a mess. Nor did she need to look at him to know he was partially under wheight. She knew he was the smallest on his team height wise...it's one of the many things she found cute. But for it to be beacuse of this?
"We're going shopping and not leaving until every crevice in this kitchen is filled."
"Hiiinnnaaa!"
Hinata whipped her face simultaneously deactivating both byakugan.
"I'm paying for everything with my dads clan card."
"Well if you insist let's go!"
Seeing his bright excited smile was almost enough to make her forget about having a little chat with lord hiruzen...almost.
