He didn't know any medical Ninjutsu, so he could only silently guard her bedside, waiting for Hinata to wake up on her own.
Not long after, Hinata slowly opened her eyes.
She wasn't seriously injured; she had merely fainted from the overwhelming emotions of being held by Naruto.
After a short rest, she had already fully recovered.
However, as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Naruto-kun's face, which she had been thinking about, right in front of her, and it was getting closer to her own face... "Ah—"
Hinata gasped again, shyly pulling the blanket over her head.
"Hm? Hina, Hinata?!"
"What's wrong with you?!"
Hinata was extremely shy, mumbling from under the blanket: "Naruto-kun, you, please move a little further away from me..."
Naruto, scratching his head in confusion, still moved his chair further away.
"Is this okay?"
Hinata secretly peeked through a gap in the blanket and nodded softly.
"Ye-yes, that's fine..."
She then poked her head out, but as she looked around, she suddenly realized this was Naruto-kun's bedroom. So the bed she was lying on was Naruto-kun's bed?
And the blanket covering her, was it Naruto-kun's blanket?!
For a moment, Hinata's heart began to pound wildly again.
Naruto, from a distance, asked with concern: "Hinata, are you, are you alright?"
Hinata, her face red, said: "No, I'm fine..."
"I just, just..."
Naruto interrupted her: "No need to say anything, I understand!"
"Naruto-kun, you, you understand?"
"Of course! It must be that my Wind Style: Whirlwind Fist was too powerful and injured you, Hinata!"
Hinata's expression was complex, but she still nodded.
"Yes, Naruto-kun's new Ninjutsu is truly amazing..."
Naruto sincerely bowed in apology.
"I'm sorry, Hinata! You helped me so much, and I still injured you!"
Hinata smiled gently: "It's alright, Naruto-kun..."
She clutched Naruto's small blanket, not daring to show her entire face.
"However, Naruto-kun's Wind Body Flicker Technique is even more impressive..."
"With such speed, in a real battle, it would definitely catch enemies off guard!"
Naruto, hearing her praise, couldn't help but feel incredibly proud.
"Of course! The Wind Release Ninjutsu I just mastered is my new ultimate move!"
"Forget Sasuke, even that scoundrel Hyuga Neji definitely won't be able to block it!"
Hinata nodded: "Yes, I believe in Naruto-kun..."
Naruto, however, said: "Actually, Hinata, you're also very powerful, especially the defensive moves of Gentle Fist Eight Trigrams Palm. I always feel that no matter how I attack, you either defend against it or deflect the power..."
Hinata's heart stirred, and she seemed to grasp a flash of inspiration.
"Re-really, Naruto-kun?"
"Really!"
Hinata suddenly understood something.
She had always disliked fighting and hurting people, but... if she focused on cultivating the defensive techniques within Gentle Fist Eight Trigrams Palm, wouldn't she be able to stand undefeated without harming anyone?!
Perhaps, this was the most suitable path for her development!
"Thank you, Naruto-kun, I think I have a very good idea for my future!"
Naruto gave a thumbs up.
"Ah, that's right, that's it!"
"Hinata, you too can create the most suitable technique for yourself, just like me!"
"For example, Guardian Gentle Fist Eight Trigrams Palm or something!"
Hinata's eyes lit up: "Guardian Gentle Fist Eight Trigrams Palm?"
"Naruto-kun, I understand, I will definitely work hard!"
Naruto's idea was very insightful.
One person working in isolation can never compare to two people exploring together.
Many times, the person who sees themselves least clearly is oneself.
For example, Hinata was working very hard on her training now, but she always seemed unable to reach the strongest realm.
The main reason was that she hadn't found the path most suitable for her.
Naruto's guidance, though seemingly casual, had suddenly enlightened Hinata.
"Thank you, Naruto-kun."
Naruto laughed heartily: "Thank me for what? You're the one who's always been helping me, Hinata!"
Hinata smiled gently: "Yes, but Naruto-kun, you've also helped me a lot..."
"I, I will do my best to stand with Naruto-kun and fight side by side."
Naruto didn't understand the deeper meaning, only gave a big, carefree thumbs up.
"Alright! Let's work hard together!"
...Naruto spent the remaining time of summer vacation very productively, studying and training.
Aside from the time Hinata tutored him, he was diligently practicing on his own.
During this period, in addition to increasing his Chakra volume, he had also integrated all the techniques he had mastered, bringing them all to a state of perfection.
Many techniques he had learned before were only partially mastered and not completely proficient.
After more than ten days of effort, Naruto gradually raised those Ninjutsu to the great success or even complete mastery realm!
By the end of summer vacation, Naruto checked his current attributes again.

"Hmm, the worst Clone Technique's proficiency has also increased to 90 points..."
"Other Ninjutsu and Taijutsu are basically all above 90 points!"
"Relatively weaker is Shuriken Technique at 80 points; there's nothing I can do, I really practiced it less..."
"Also, Wind Body Flicker Technique and Wind Style: Whirlwind Fist, their proficiencies are both in the 80s, not as high as other Ninjutsu and Taijutsu. No choice, because these are the most difficult Nin-Taijutsu..."
"Besides that, the average proficiency of academics has also increased to around 90 points..."
Naruto showed a confident smile.
"If I were to take the exam again, with these grades, getting first place would almost be a certainty!"
Of course, what made Naruto happiest was that he had achieved his goal for the latter half of the vacation... breaking through 1000 Chakra points!
Now, his Chakra volume had reached 1080 points, which meant it completely equaled or even surpassed a Jonin!
Moreover, his Chakra volume was still increasing crazily every day, no, every moment!
This would become his greatest reliance.
Now, Naruto believed that his only major deficiency was practical combat experience.
Although he fought every day in his dreams, no matter how realistic the simulation, it was still just Ninja sparring.
It was different from a true life-or-death battle.
When Ninja carry out missions, encountering various dangerous and complex situations is to be expected.
