This is set around/during the two and a half year time skip - after Hinata asks Neji to train her - about a year into their training. Working tirelessly and relentlessly, Hinata pushes herself to become stronger - all under Neji's watchful eye. The Chunin exams are on the horizon once more, feeling more empowered she's sure she'll pass this time. Neji works her harder in the lead up, but he can't help this uneasiness he feels when he is around Hinata. Is it just the usual, over protective brother-like feelings? Or this time, is it something more? All the while, pressures of the Hyūga are rising. Determined to heal the rift between the main and branch families, Neji realises the easiest most efficient way.. would be marriage. Lol side mission: How many times is an "engawa" mentioned lmao
