Naruto: ……
(What is this…)
(For me to want do such a thing…)
(I wanted to touch Hinata so badly that without thinking…)
Sh-shake my hand!
(is what I ended up saying, but…)
(Thinking about it calmly, the meaning was unclear, so…)
(Ahhh!! Hinata definitely thinks I’m weird…)
(Oooh….)
Hinata: … Hehe
Naruto: (Geeeeez!! (She laughed at meeeee!))
S-sorry! I’m weird, huh? Shaking your hand all of a sudden!
sfx: gikushaku (awkwardness)
I’m… bothering you…
Hinata: No, not at all!

Hinata: It’s just… your hand is always so warm, and big, and makes me feel safe, Naruto-kun…
I’m happy…
sfx: kyu.. (squeeze)
Hinata: It hasn’t changed since long ago…
No, it’s bigger than it was then…
It’s the kind hand that protects everyone!
I…
I love it…

Naruto: Hinata…
Hinata: (Ah-) But… My hand’s gotten rougher since then. (My skin’s dry, so…)
It’s a bit embarrassing, huh…?
Naruto: That’s not true…
Hinata: Eh…?
Naruto: Your hand… hasn’t changed since long ago, Hinata.
It’s extremely kind and guides me when I’m lost.
It’s rough from giving it your all for our family every day. It’s an incredibly cool hand! (Right?!)

Naruto: Hinata, I love…
sfx: gyu (squeeze)
Naruto: that hand of yours!
sfx: jiwaah (tear)
Hinata: Naruto-kun…
Naruto: (I had no idea…)
(A handshake with someone precious…)
(is dangerously intimate!!)
(I can’t do anything more!! What kind of penalty game is this?!)
sfx: murama… (shaking…)
Naruto: (Today I’m definitely going home!!)
Handshakes in the office! How scandalous!
