First wish: "Okay, let's see you do this. I don't like being dead last. I wish I was better at that stuff than that Sasuke!"
Result: Naruto's learning disabilities removed, attention span and chakra control increased, clumsiness fixed, and farting his way to failure was no longer an option.
Now faced with what could happen in the future, aware that a girl LIKED him, he stumbled his way into another possibility.
"I... I wish... I wish I could help her get stronger," said Naruto, still not quite registering what he was saying. "Lots stronger. Any girl who wants to be my friend, I need to be able to help them."
"Grrrrrranted!" said Toltiir.
Hinata Hyuga: Learning Limits overriden for all training occurring within immediate presence of Naruto Uzumaki.
Synergy Effect: Naruto Uzumaki: learning speed increased +10% when in immediate presence of Hinata Hyuga.
Template Adaptation: Aura Of Mnemosyne - Any girl romantically interested in or considering herself a close friend of Naruto Uzumaki gains a +10% (noncumulative) bonus to learning new skills/jutsu/physical development if Naruto is within 100m of girl.
Synergy Effect: Hinata Hyuga: learning speed increased +10% when in immediate presence of Naruto Uzumaki.
"Wait. What?" asked Naruto, staring at the glowing green letters hanging in midair until they slowly faded out.
"Any girl who wants to date or befriend you, learns faster when she's around you," said Toltiir. "You should be study buddies with Hinata after this. It could turn out quite interesting."
"Oh," said Naruto, though you could see in his expression that he didn't get it at first. His smile when he DID get it was completely enthusiastic.
"Mind you, once you start helping her get stronger and more confident, I think you'll have to deal with her being openly affectionate to you," said Toltiir. "Which may have consequences both from other girls observing you or her clan."
Naruto blinked and considered the cat-being. "Consequences? Like what?"
"Oh, some girls will ignore you until they see someone else interested - at which point they begin to see you as potential date material instead of just a random guy," said Toltiir. "Some girls will just get angry at you for hanging around Hinata, and will misinterpret things in the worst way possible. Her clan, on the other hand, will have people who regard you negatively for one reason or another and won't regard you hanging around their 'princess' as a positive thing. They may harass you for it."
Naruto scratched his head at that. Trying to figure out all that. It wasn't a situation he had any experience with, which made it hard to understand.
