The Last: NaruHina History (Part 1)

The Uzumaki Pure Love Scroll

Uzumaki Naruto and Hyuuga Hinata. How did these two connect and form a bond…? Let’s retrace their steps from here.

Episode 1: Hinata is always hesitant and nervous around Naruto, who possesses an unchanging “strength”

Since his childhood, Naruto has declared his dream of being the future Hokage, and never gives up despite his repeated failures. Having no confidence in herself, Hinata recognizes Naruto’s true strength during their childhood, and harbors admiration for him.

Episode 3: Wanting to someday stand by his side, she resolves to walk by the same nindou

Naruto vocalized his own nindou “I never go back on my word.” This had great influence on Hinata, and she declared the same nindou as Naruto. That was her one resolve.
