“Seeing Hinata so happy made me want to know all about how she got there.”

(Auto-translated from Japanese)

My Story

In the BORUTO anime, I saw a scene where Hinata was a normal and happy mother to Bolt and Himawari. I watched it without thinking anything in particular, but for some reason I wondered what kind of life she had led. I looked it up and was flabbergasted when I found out there were over 500 episodes, but once I started watching, I couldn't stop. Hinata had been in denial ever since she was a child, she had never been able to tell anyone about her feelings for Naruto, and she continued to fight even though she broke her pain bones. After knowing all of this, seeing that happy Boruto looked completely different. Now I follow both NARUTO and BORUTO. Every time Hinata smiles, I think about the journey we've been on up to this point. It was the first time I followed one character into a work like this.

Favorite scene / line

The scene where Hinata runs toward Payne. Even though she knows she can't win, she jumps in because she wants to be by Naruto's side. I love, love, love the recklessness and purity of that moment.
