* ''LightNovel/KonohaHidenThePerfectDayForAWedding'', the officially sanctioned novel that deals with Naruto and Hinata's wedding, is generally a very light and funny read...which makes these moments especially hard to handle:

* When Sakura tells Naruto to walk Hinata home -- under the guise that he shouldn't let a young woman walk home alone by herself at night, but in reality [[ShipperOnDeck she's trying to give them some time alone together]] -- Hinata pauses, and the camera shows her face just out of focus with a carefully blank expression. [[ObliviousToLove Naruto is confused]] by Sakura's request because, to him, "Hinata's really strong. No one in the village would dare mess with her." This is an understated tearjerker, because it's ''full'' of PoorCommunicationKills -- Naruto has [[AmazonChaser proudly believed in Hinata's strength]] ever since the Chunin Exams arc in Part I, which is ''why'' he feels that Hinata doesn't need him to walk her home. However, Hinata is visibly ''crushed'' by his words because he appears to be turning down an opportunity to spend time with her, especially since, during that scene, he's surrounded by his three most ardent fangirls and he didn't turn ''them'' down, even though in reality he's just being nice to them.

Expanded on one of the examples.





* When Sakura orders Naruto to walk Hinata home, Hinata pauses, and the camera shows her face just out focus with a carefully blank expression - and when he replies "Are you kidding, no one in the village would dare to mess with her!" Hinata is visibly ''crushed'' by his words.
* When Hinata is about to give her scarf to Naruto and confess her feelings, she notices him already wearing a scarf that he clearly cherishes. We later learn that it was from his mother, Kushina, but Hinata assumes that it's from another girl. Her stomach growls, causing her to run away, blushing and embarrassed. Sitting on a swing, Hinata cries over her scarf, assuming she has lost her chance to be with Naruto and decides to stop pursuing him.

* When Hinata is about to give her scarf to Naruto and confess her feelings, she notices him already wearing a scarf that he clearly cherishes. We later learn that it was from his late mother, Kushina, but at the moment, Hinata assumes that it's from another girl. Her stomach growls, causing her to run away, blushing and embarrassed. Sitting on a swing, Hinata cries over her scarf, assuming she has lost her chance to be with Naruto Naruto, and decides to stop pursuing him.



** The first half of the second act is {{iron|y}}ically bittersweet, because while Naruto is [[EveryoneCanSeeIt being incredibly obvious]] in showing his feelings for Hinata, [[UnrequitedLoveSwitcheroo Hinata had already decided to stop pursuing him]] after she thought Kushina's green scarf was from another woman. This, combined with [[BigSisterInstinct Hinata prioritizing Hanabi over everything else]], sets up [[SecondActBreakup the moment in the above picture]] in the second half.

** [[AllThereInTheManual In the novelization]], after Sakura's pep-talk, Naruto ''[[ManlyTears starts crying]]'' as he thinks about how he had truly fallen in love with Hinata, confessed his love to her, and then was unexpectedly "rejected". He acknowledges that not only did Hinata's "rejection" cause him to hit rock-bottom, but he was having a hard time climbing back up and finding his strength again. It needs to be repeated: our {{Determinator}} ''cannot find his strength'', because the thought of Hinata not loving him is ''[[LoveHurts breaking him]]'', to the point where he actually ''[[DespairEventHorizon hit rock-bottom]]''. It isn't until he remembers everything his teammates said that he finally gets his HeroicSecondWind and makes his HeroicVow.
