InoHima Week, day 5 - Protection, HC’s
I kept it in my head for a while, and this is actually a short version, but whatever…
First of all, 95% of the translation is done by an online translator (I wrote this at 4am, I’m not even going to try to translate this better okay)
Rumors of Delta’s invasion of the village and her fight with the Hokage quickly spread throughout Konoha.
Inojin learns from his mother Ino that not only Kawaki was with Naruto at the time of the Delta attack, Boruto and Himawari were there, too.
Ino tells him how Delta tried to use Hima to force Naruto to “open up”.
Inojin’s eyes widen and he swears that he can feel his heart pounding against the walls of his ribs.
Inojin opens his mouth to ask, but the words get stuck in his throat and Ino, thankfully, keeps talking.
«…but this boy, Kawaki, he took the entire blow, lost his arm, but saved Naruto and Himawari…»
Inojin breathes, he didn’t even realize he was holding his breath though.
That’s all that’s on his mind right now.
He remembers a small talk he had with Hima the day after Himawari participated in an event organized by the academy that allowed her to try her as shinobi.
They met to draw together that day, which they are known to do quite often.
She told him about her shinobi experience.
«Being a shinobi is so much fun, Inojin-kun!»
«So you want to become a shinobi?»
«Hm, I don’t know yet, there are still so many things I’d like to try, but maybe one day…»
Thinking about it now, after the episode with Delta, Inojin feels something in his stomach begin to twist uncomfortably into a knot.
He doesn’t want Himawari to become a shinobi because shinobi’s life is constantly in danger, and the thought that she might be in mortal danger again, painfully squeezing something in his chest.
Inojin assures himself that he feels this way because she is his friend, siof course he is worried about her, bc that’s what friends do (right? RIGHT?)
like… he worries about Shikadai and Chouchou when something goes wrong during their missions
But deep down, he knows that the way he feels about his teammates and Himawari are different.
And from now on, he really wants to do his best to keep her safe.
Even if he doesn’t realize the truly reasons yet.
