Sakura and Hinata were walking down a snowy road overlooked by a gigantic crescent moon.

“That guy really is dense.”

“…….”

Hinata was staring at her feet, walking silently.

“…You were going to give him the scarf, right?”

Hinata weakly nodded.

“You’ll be alright, Hinata. Have confidence!”

“Thanks…”


Only the sound of the two girls’ footsteps on the snowy road could be heard.

“…But, why are you supporting me so much?”

“Th-that’s…”

In a completely unrequited love, she had pined for only one man since she was young—when she watched Hinata going through the same thing, she just couldn’t leave her alone.

“Hahaha… well, let’s do our best together!”

Dodging the question, she cheerfully patted Hinata’s shoulder.

“Ah, thanks…”

Regardless of whether or not she understood, Hinata bowed to Sakura and left slightly running.

Before she knew it, the day had completely turned to night.
Holding the present close to her chest, Hinata trudged down the snowy road. She realized she was standing in front of the gate of her own home.

You’ll be alright, Hinata. Have confidence!

She remembered Sakura’s words.

Tonight after all… I made that decision on my own, so I’ll give Naruto-kun the scarf tonight!

Becoming fully determined, Hinata turned back onto the road from which she had just come.

From above, three large shadows came flying.
They were strange birds far larger than humans.

With the wings and beaks of eagles, and thick legs and claws like those of lions, they were “eagle beasts.”

Several shinobi dived from the backs of the eagle beasts that were gliding through the night sky.
They landed soundlessly in the garden of the Hyuuga residence.

They were creepy shinobi whose limbs and faces were covered with bandages.

Without hesitating, they invaded the inside of the building, and silently ran up the stairs.
The bandaged shinobi opened the sliding screens in succession, proceeding further and further inside.

When the final screen opened, there stood Hanabi, ready with her kunai.
From the bottom of the kunai, there hung a strap with a doll.

“Who are you!?”


The next moment, Hanabi let out a small scream and lost consciousness, then fell over into the arms of the enemy.


Sai was drawing ink paintings.
He was sometimes slandered, being called “former anbu” and “the guy with no heart,” but in actuality, he was fine and elegant.

Tonight, with his artistic inclination being moved by the snowy landscape and crescent moon, he was sitting in a bamboo thicket, working with a paintbrush.

Trying to capture the rough form of the scenery, he squinted and gazed at the crescent moon beyond the bamboo thicket.

“The moon is considerably big…”


A strange spectacle flew into his field of vision.
The gang of shinobi riding on the eagle beasts were flying at low altitude above the snow.

Their faces were covered in bandages, and one of them carried one young girl on his shoulder.
The girl appeared to be limp and unconscious.

“I just cannot ignore this… Ninpou, choujuu giga!”


He drew a bird on his scroll, which materialized, jumped from the scroll, and began to flap its wings.
Riding on the ink painting bird, Sai chased after the eagle beasts and soared into the night sky.

When they noticed this, the bandaged shinobi turned the heads of their eagle beats, and took refuge in the big trees of the forest.
They flew at high speed through the dim forest.

Sai chased the eagle beasts while avoiding the approaching trees and bushes to his left and right.

The bandaged shinobi turned towards Sai and threw glowing bubble spheres at him.
The bubble spheres exploded when they hit, smashing the large trees.

Sai continued his pursuit while avoiding the bubble spheres and collapsed trees. He accelerated and shortened the distance between him and the enemies.
He was in range to confirm the face of the girl who was being carried.

“…Hanabi-chan of the Hyuuga?”

Just then, a bubble sphere exploded within range, and destroyed the wing of the ink painting bird. Its speed fell.

“One more time… Ninpou, choujuu giga!”


In the time it took for him to draw a new ink painting bird and try to switch over to it, the enemy’s bubble sphere approached before his eyes.

“Oh no!”


Trying to avoid the bubble spheres, the two birds each were thrown against the trees.
Having fallen onto the snow, Sai was unable to move for a while, then finally turned face up, and looked up at the sky.

An overly large crescent moon floated in the sky.
Expressionless, Sai breathed a deep sigh.


“Naruto-kun! Until now, I’ve only been watching from behind you. But from now on, I want to always be by your side, so I put my whole heart into knitting this… please accept my feelings!”

Hinata bowed her head an held out the wrapped present.
There wasn’t a single sound in the snow-covered residential area.

“Fuuu…”


Hinata let out a big sigh. Alone in front of Naruto’s house, Hinata was repeatedly practicing giving Naruto the present.
It seemed that Naruto had not yet returned, as his room was dark.

As she inhaled to practice one more time, someone became present behind her.

“Hm? Hinata?”


He-he’s back… What should I do? What should I do?

Both of her knees began to tremble.
But here, she had no choice but to muster her courage.

“Um…”


Hinata turned to Naruto. Before her eyes there was: a bordered scarf already wrapped around his neck.

Ah!

Hinata had chosen red wool to look good with Naruto’s blonde hair, but this scarf with gray and white lines looked much more refined.

“What is it, Hinata?”


“Th-that’s a nice scarf, isn’t it?”

“You think so? It was knit just for me… it’s warm.”

Naruto smiled happily. And then—

Gyurururururu.

Hinata’s stomach growled. Yet she didn’t feel hungry at all… Surely somewhere mean-spirited gods were mocking her.
To have already been outdone by someone regarding the scarf, and then to have the sound of her stomach be heard, it was completely pitiable.

“You must be hungry. If cup ramen is ok, I have some in my room…”

“Goodnight.”


Hinata interrupted Naruto’s words as she bowed and walked off.

“Is there something you need to do? Hey, Hinata! Hinata –ttebayo!”

“……”


Hinata continued walking without looking back.
She was so miserable that she was brought to tears.
