All the lights disappeared. On this New Year's Eve, Naruto remembered glancing at the clock on the wall before the power went out, it was around eleven o'clock.
‘Waiting for the power to come back seemed unrealistic. If the heavy snow damaged the equipment outside, it might not be restored until tomorrow.’
In the pitch blackness, he suddenly remembered that there were candles stored in the drawer.
So, he got up, but with a crash, he accidentally knocked something over.
"Um… That…" Ino suddenly became nervous, and he could hear a slight tremor in her voice.
"Hmm?" He turned his head to look in the direction of the sofa and responded subconsciously, "What's wrong?"
The room was very dark. Even after his eyes adjusted to the darkness, he could only make out a vague outline. The residual image before the power outage was still in his mind, so Naruto could easily determine where Ino was.
He thought that a Shinobi shouldn't be afraid of the dark. But perhaps it was some other reason, as a sudden power outage could be unsettling.
"It's nothing, I just…" Ino's voice grew weaker as she spoke.
"Are you afraid of the dark?"
"No, I'm not afraid. It's just that the sudden blackout feels a bit unsettling."
"That's good. I'll go get the candles. Just stay here and don't move." Naruto instructed.
"Okay." Ino replied, really staying still and quietly watching as darkness enveloped the room. She could hear rustling sounds beside her, followed by the sound of a cabinet being opened.
After a few minutes, when Naruto was still fumbling around in the dark, Ino couldn’t help but stand up and ask, "Can't find it?"
"It should be in one of these nearby cabinets, but I haven’t found it yet." Naruto replied, sounding a bit troubled, "Just wait a bit longer, I think..."
"Let me help you look for it. It's kind of boring just sitting here." Ino said as she began to feel her way toward the cabinet.
"Sure." Naruto agreed.
"Is it right here?"
Ino squatted down and began to pull out the cabinet and asked, groping in the cabinet little by little. The feeling in the dark state was somewhat strange. The weakened vision made her other four senses more sensitive.
"It should be." Naruto's voice came from right next to her.
"Really?" Ino’s voice trembled slightly as she continued to feel around on top of the cabinet. Suddenly, she touched an arm.
Then her hand was grabbed in return, causing her to tremble all over, and she let out a soft gasp.
"What's wrong with you?" Naruto asked, acting as if nothing had happened.
His other hand seemed to be still groping in the dark,
With a heavy breath, time began to flow again.
Naruto withdrew his hand from her forehead, coughed, and his expression returned to normal. He smiled at Ino and said, "I think I’ve found where the candles are."
"O-Okay." Ino quickly pulled her hand away, lowering her head in guilt.
