Naruto: Limit Breaker-Chapter 53: Husband and Wife Relationship

Chapter 53: Husband and Wife Relationship

Under the quiet night sky, with only the soft glow of lights around them, Ryosuke gently channeled chakra into Hinata's body, soothing her soreness and fatigue after the intense battle.

"The meridians and acupoints are delicate," he muttered, concentrating. "Some pain is normal when stimulating and unblocking them with chakra."

Then he glanced at her trembling hands. "You used to handle this just fine. Why are you shaking so much now?"

This technique wasn't easy—it required precise chakra control and a solid grasp of the Gentle Fist style. Ryosuke had used it before, each time after training sessions, both to help Hinata recover and to sharpen her control over her chakra.

While unconventional, this method was far more advanced than the basic tree climbing and water walking exercises. It also doubled as a lesson—during the process, he could walk her through the location of vital acupoints and meridians.

Thanks to Ryosuke's patient and detailed guidance, Hinata had progressed quickly in learning the Gentle Fist. Her mastery wasn't complete, but she had already exceeded expectations—her natural aptitude, while not suited for combat, was more than made up for with the right teacher. Ryosuke had helped her avoid countless detours on the path of growth.

Checking the time, Ryosuke figured it was enough for tonight. At least Hinata wouldn't wake up tomorrow barely able to move. He patted her shoulder and moved closer.

"Let's call it a night. I think pretty soon, you'll be ready to learn the next level of the technique ."

"You..." he began, but stopped mid-sentence as he caught a glimpse of Hinata's face.

Her hands were tightly clenched on her knees, fingers entwined. She stared blankly ahead, not even noticing that he had walked up to her. Her fair cheeks, made even more delicate by her Hyuga bloodline, were dusted with a deep blush. frёewebnoѵēl.com

"Is she... dizzy?" Ryosuke waved a hand in front of her face, uncertain. The whole scene felt oddly out of place.

By now, Hinata shouldn't have that shy, easily flustered personality from the original timeline. He had worked hard to help her overcome that long ago. So what was this?

"Hinata... Hinata!"

He called out softly at first, then raised his voice slightly when she didn't respond.

Finally, she jolted like she'd been startled awake. Her wide eyes stared at Ryosuke, and she jumped to her feet. "I... What just happened to me?"

"I was about to ask you the same thing." Ryosuke looked her up and down.

Her face—and even her neck—were tinted red. But judging from the way she stood up and moved, she wasn't in any pain and hadn't been injured during the earlier battle.

"I..."

The confident and bold Hinata from recent months seemed to hesitate now. She opened her mouth, then closed it again, pressing her lips together tightly.

"What's wrong?" Ryosuke asked with a frown. "Did something change in your body? Are you uncomfortable?"

He activated his Byakugan and scanned her body thoroughly. Everything looked normal—her chakra flow was stable, and there were no signs of injury or internal imbalance. The only thing that stood out was her quickened heartbeat.

Still, after such an intense fight, that wasn't unusual.

But what was unusual was Hinata's behavior. The more her physical condition seemed fine, the more confused Ryosuke felt.

Could her bloodline be evolving again? She'd already shown incredible potential with her Byakugan, awakening it much earlier than most in the Hyuga clan. Normally, even with intense training, few her age could unlock their dojutsu this young.

"Ryosuke, actually... I..."

Under Ryosuke's puzzled gaze, Hinata finally gathered her courage and looked him in the eyes.

"Actually, I already understand what it means to be a husband and wife—and what responsibilities I need to take on... as your wife."

Her tone was solemn. She spoke with a level of seriousness rarely seen from someone her age.

Ryosuke's expression froze.

That's it? That was his first thought. He'd been bracing for something serious—an injury, an illness, maybe even a regression in her bloodline. But instead... this?

Still, he quickly realized that while it might not seem like much to him, this meant a lot to her.

Marriage wasn't a major deal in the ninja world. Many powerful shinobi lived their entire lives without ever getting married. The constant threat of death and battle made relationships difficult to maintain.

But to someone like Hinata—someone who hadn't yet seen the full horrors of war—this was clearly something important. Especially since she had always been more emotionally mature than her peers, even if she was still young.

"I remember you once asked me," Hinata said, continuing with her eyes fixed on his, "if I knew what it meant to be a wife. If I understood what kind of relationship we had."

"At the time, I didn't. I was still naive. But now... I do."

"I've learned more than just ninja techniques at the Academy. I've learned about life—about relationships."

She took a deep breath.

"Our relationship... is that of husband and wife."

"We'll live together, fight together, die together. We'll share everything—joy, pain, even death."

Ryosuke stood there, speechless.

The girl in front of him might only be a child, but she stood with a determination and maturity beyond her years. Her words weren't childish or romantic—they were sincere, practical, and full of resolve.

In this world, people matured quickly. Sixteen or seventeen-year-old boys like Naruto and Sasuke had already saved the world. Children as young as ten had been sent to the battlefield.

In the modern world Ryosuke came from, a sixteen-year-old would still be a student, maybe just worrying about grades. But here, age wasn't the defining measure of someone's maturity or responsibility.

Even marriage didn't have strict age restrictions. Most families wouldn't consider it until after a child graduated from the Academy—usually around twelve or thirteen—but even that wasn't a hard rule.

So, while Hinata's declaration might seem early by his old-world standards, it wasn't abnormal in this one.

Still... Ryosuke was raised with a different mindset. His values, shaped in a more modern world, couldn't help but feel a little conflicted.

He looked at her again, this little girl trying so hard to act like an adult.

And he sighed—half amused, half helpless.
