Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto
"So what is the problem with the law?" Tsunade asks in a dry voice. She places a scroll on her desk and then rests her chin on her hands. She stairs at Shizune
"It's wrong," Shizune release is a panic yell.
"The council thought it out well," Tsunade explain, "They even add age ranges in."
"But it is wrong to force ninjas to marry each other!"
"They are not force to get marry only to act like they are," Tsunade says, "Many of our single ninjas do not know how to act married. This hurt them when they need to go under cover as a marry couple. Have you read about Gai and Anko undercover?"
She pulls out a scroll. "A simple mission to go under cover to protect a noble's son and his new bride on their honeymoon. Anko flirt with every cute male she saw. I don't want to get into Gai. We almost had to return the money pain for the mission because the newly weds complain about their poor honeymoon."
She presses her stamp into the scroll. "Beside this could bring a little romance to the village. And won't hurt if some become marry for real." She rolls the scroll and left it on her desk. "It is only for a month." Tsunade turn to the window as she continues. "Pass this order to all the single ninja."
Slowly, Shizune reach for the scroll. Uncertain slowed her movement. She could never understand Tsunade thinking. It seams none of her reasoning would cause Tsunade's determine will to waver so she lift the scroll from the desk. She did her best to steady her nerves and bow. In silent she left the room with the order grip in her hands.
As the door came to a close, Tsunade pulls out some papers. A wide grin grew on her face as she scribbles on a blank paper. In a soft, cheerful voice she spoke for her ear only, "I'll start with a bets on who end up with whom and then about the strange event that may happen and lastly if there will be romantic after."
As her pen rapidly slide over the paper, her smile grew with a touch of prankster in it. With a practice mind she wrote the odds and wagers. Her blissful time in her hidden world of gambling ends by the sound of the door opening.
In a panic, she rushes to get the paper off her desk as she turns to the red hair Kazekage. She looks at the young face unchanging as he came closer. Angry about the interruption of her fun she gave a quick, "What can I do for you?"
"A contractor for own satellite compound want more sand," Gaara says.
"They took all that we had. Why would we need that much sand?"
"He wants to make it all from sand."
"Do you know the cost to import that much building sand," Tsunade groans, "That would also increase the time needed."
"I told him that the treaty demands that we have the compound working in two months," Gaara answer, "but he talk about artist's pride."
"What do you want me to do about it?" the Fifth Hokage
"I want permission to remove him," Gaara state. Gaara may not kill just to kill but if someone get in way of his mission's goal that is another matter.
"How about I give you a name of a local contractor," Tsunade says lifting a blank paper from the floor and write down on it. "You could threaten to replace him if he does not act according to our wishes." She lifts the paper and lazy wave it in front of the Kazekage.
"I would like to do it my way," Gaara answer pulling the paper. He turn to the remain papers on the floor. "Was that a new betting pool?" Tsunade lift the papers from the ground. "What is it about?"
With the stars in the sky, Naruto unlock his door. He steps into his place. On one side of the room a kitchen area. The other side was a small area for Naruto to train in. The clutter space is perfect for him alone. He steps along the ground to his small bedroom. He drops onto his bed.
Pounding came to Naruto. He covers his face in a pillow to block that and the morning light. It works only for the light as a second round of pounding came. Naruto roll to sit on his bed. He release a quick yawn before he stumble to the door. He opens the door to look at a pink hair. "Hey Sakura," Naruto says with a large grin.
"Naruto did you read the new order?" the pink hair ninja ask.
"I just woke up," Naruto says.
"You need to read it," Sakura says trusting a scroll at Naruto.
"Could I take a shower first?"
"No, you need to read this now!" Sakura force a scroll to Naruto.
"If you're acting this way, think about how I am going to react," Naruto says in a monotone, "I want to shower before I run off."
Sakura answer with only a nod. She looks from the blond to the room around. With the rattle of the shower, she walks to the main living area. She stops to look down at a simple scroll spread over the floor as if someone was reading it. She lifts the document and rolls it. She frowns as she looks obvious dust outline the scroll former place. She lifts a rag she turn to filth.
Clean and in his normal clothes, Naruto step into the room. He almost raises his hand to block the clean glair for his neat and tidy apartment. He smiles Sakura for the pleasant surprise.
"I couldn't stand this mess," the pink hair ninja says, "I hope you don't mind."
"It's cleaner than it ever been before," Naruto says. He rubs the back his head a little embarrass about his poor house keeping that Sakura took care of. His mind search for the right words to thank her with but his stomach took command of his mouth. "You want some ramen?" He fills a kettle with water.
"Later," Sakura says, "We need to talk about the new order."
As she watched Naruto put the kettle on the stove, Sakura began to explain, "It about marriage."
"What! I'm too young," Naruto yells.
"You idiot," Sakura yells, "The council though that us single ninjas need to know how to act marry if we must go undercover as a couple. That is why they are making us pretend to be marry for one month."
"I hope I'm not stuck with someone much older than me," Naruto says.
"There age ranges," Sakura explains in a flat tone.
"I need to talk to Tsunade-Baachan," Naruto says as he knocks the kettle into the sink. He quickly pass Sakura as he rush to the door.
"Wait," Sakura yells after him. She took off to chase after the blond. She fails to get next to the blond but she was able to keep only a little behind him. They drop to the ground and continue to run.
Soon they came top the main administration building. Shizune came running to them. "Good," she says, "Tsunade summons you two."
Sakura enter the hokage's office. She looks at the Tenten, Ino, Hinata and strangely Temari. "Do you want to see us?" Sakura ask.
"I do," Tsunade responds. A smile overpowers her ninja training as the two enter. "Naruto you stand on the right side on my desk. Sakura with the other females." As the two ninja walk to their location, Tsunade cross her fingers. "You each got order about the 'mirage training'?"
"Why did I get one?" Temari snap. She hated that Gaara was expecting it.
"Here," Tsunade says handing a scroll over to the sand ninja. "It holds order from the Kazekage that you will take part in this training and will act as a ninja of this village during that time."
As Temari reads the scroll, Tsunade eyes roll to the others. "We have a little problem. As you know your age range is mandatory for the training. This is everyone in this room are all in your age range that will be here the entire time."
Ino look from the four other girls to Naruto, the only male. "So we don't need to do this fake marriage," Ino says. Sighs in relief came from the younger group.
"No," Tsunade says dragging her voice before she continues, "You just need share Naruto."
"What!" Ninjas all over the village turn to the large building holding the hokage's office. Ninjas wearing white mask crash into the hokage's office. ANBU scan the room for threats.
"Don't worry," Tsunade spoke as she tries to end the ringing in her ears, "Teenage girls."
"I am not going to pretend to be married to Naruto," Ino growl in protest.
"What about Neji?" Tenten ask.
"Look they are all gone," Tsunade grunt, "Most are helping with the new satellite compound. They won't be back for two months at the earliest."
"So we just meet him and pretend to be married once and while?" Temari asks. In her a mixture of trying to understand and hoping.
"We'll have task for you to handle," Tsunade says, "Like going on fake dates. Shopping together. Hosting a party near the end for others fake pairings. And you need to live with each other."
Moments later, Tsunade rub her ringing ear as she wave off ninjas, ANBU, the Kazekage, Shizune, and the man from the ramen shop...wait the man from the ramen show. Later with the fresh ramen before her, the Fifth Hokage continue, "That is the most important part." She pauses to take some over her ramen. "This is so you can act married and those who are marry live together." She took more of her ramen. "I will answer any questions."
"Why do they deliver to you?" Naruto ask as is saliva drop from his lips. That quickly ended by a smack to the back of his head by Sakura.
"Idiot! Don't waste time asking for idiotic questions!" Sakura chastised the blond ramen lover.
"I'm the hokage," Tsunade simply stated.
"Is there a Jutsu to get your breasts that large?" Ino asks, "I mean this training is for one month but those should last longer."
Tsunade's right eye twitches as the five teen girls stairs at her. "Lets stay about the marry training," she grunt.
"What about money?" Temari ask, "I was planning on returning to Sunagakure a day or two from now."
"Normal training allowance with a few quick missions will still be assigned to you, provided it will not hinder your marriage training or you will not stay far from the village for too long," Tsunade answer.
"Where will the six of us to live?" Sakura ask, "Naruto's place can just hold him." Though when Sakura thought about it some more, Hinata's mansion would suite them well but she doubts Hinata's father would allow such training to take place in their prestigious home.
Tsunade smile as she spoke, "I've already fixed this problem, I've taken the liberty to look at the realty property listing and it turns out that Naruto owns a few properties. One is an old host spring resort. It should have more than enough space. It is a little hidden but close enough."
Naruto step back. His place to hide from stress was just exposed to girls, who hold common trips to the local hot springs. "Its run down," Naruto says, "They won't like it." Naruto began to make excuses, not really wanting his sanctuary be discovered.
"I'll see what money I can scrap up," Tsunade says, "You may need to do most of the work. Use your shadow clone to fix it up. Think of it as training by using many clones to handle different tasks. Then you will pick up each of the female. I expect your party to be five times better than the other parties."
"What!" Naruto yells, "I never hosted a party before."
"Because you are five pairings," Tsunade says, "But if you succeed in this marriage training then Jiraiya and I will train all of you a little."
"Really," Temari smile, "Not one but two of the Sannin." Her mind roll back to tales told of the sannins' power.
"I've already train under ero-sennin," Naruto says. All the girls but Sakura stairs at Naruto with shock at his causal use of an insulting name for a legendary ninja.
"You train under Jiraiya but not me," Tsunade says, "A little medical skills would do you some good and I have some other tricks. With the amount of chakra you have, it would be great to have you as a back up medical ninja." She turns to Sakura. "Jiraiya could teach you as well. Now got get ready you're in for a long month."
She dismisses the group and they left from her office. She smiles at the uncertainty in their walk. When Tsunade was alone in her office, she calm spoke, "It won't be so easy to pass this training with the things I have plan."
"Why did you tell them I would train them too?" Jiraiya ask as he enters from a small side room.
"Because I know how to persuade you," the Fight Hokage says. She pulls a book from her desk. "Now get some of you thing to my place. We are going to do the marriage training as well." She opens her book. "As hokage I need to show them I am willing to do what I order."
"What I want to know," Jiraiya says, "How can they learn to act marry while with those five girls are sharing Naruto."
"It may not be but it fun to watch." She took more of her ramen. "I want to see the effect of his silver tongue on them."
"Four females for one male. I don't think I wrote a book like that."
"Also because Naruto humiliated me at the meeting of the kages." How could she fall for such a simple prank. "After all a strange type of revenge is better that painful revenge. And what he did call for more than a blow to his head." She starts to read as the male ninja walk to the exit. As Jiraiya left, she spoke once more, "You write great books."
Later, Sakura close her pack. She slings it over her shoulder. She gave a quick look around her room. With a little frown she walks to the living room. She looks at her mother sitting in a chair. The older woman slid her pencil along a paper leaving a red line. She turns from the human picture to her daughter. "I though he was to come here to get you?" the elder woman says.
"I want to see the place I'm going to live at for the next month," Sakura says, "Also it won't feel right if Naruto does all the work to repair it. And I don't want to hear him yelling about not helping fix it up."
"I see," her mother says, "It is easy to know about the bad parts of a person but about the good parts? Can you tell me about something good about Naruto?"
"He's strong and grows fast. He may say stupid thing but when it matters he says the right thing."
"You know lots about Naruto."
"That's because we're on the same team," Sakura says, "We face many dangers together. I know him better than most."
The older woman smile knowing Sakura's blond teammate is a strong emotional point. "I think I understand," she replies as she lifts a new color. "You know, I've only see glances of him as you two run off. I want to know him better. I know, we should do something else," The older female says, "Like a dinner or something."
"Sure mom. I going to need some more things so I'm coming back and we can do something then," Sakura says as she open the door.
Sakura took in the chill air. She always has dislike for the cold season. Thanks to some simple ninja tricks, she was the only one that was warm in shorts at her family reunion deep in the cold season. The problem comes at night, in her own beds she drifts to a true sleep then cold strike at her unprepared body.
Sakura pull her pack strap as she starts her search for her teammate. Her neighbor is a silent little part of the village. The small houses press together. Most that can afford large house normally build them away from the village unless they are ninja. The neighbors filled with gentle craftsmen and merchants. They always hold the large smiles and give warm greetings. Sakura made her way to the business district.
She walk pass the small shops holding clothing, food and other daily items. She stops by a call of her name. She turns see a female a little older than her. She wears black pants and long sleeve shirt. Her long pink hair braded down her back. "Sakura you must be cold," the other female says.
"Not really," the female ninja answers, "By keeping a little chakra flowing I am able to keep warm and ready for a fight, Blossom."
"Okay," Blossom says. She silently stairs at her cousin failing to understand Sakura's ninja terms. "I got stuck checking on the wedding dress your mother is designing. Make sure you come to the wedding after all the work I am force to do."
"It shouldn't be too hard," Sakura says, "I'm mainly set up for training for the next month and it is in two weeks."
"Are you going to bring a boyfriend?" Blossom asks. With a large smile, she stairs at Sakura. She was always happy about the making of couples. She knows some guys from her school she can get Sakura with.
"Nope, no boyfriend," Sakura says, "I need to meet up with my teammate." Sakura slid to the right trying to slip away from another matchmaking attempt by her cousin.
"You could bring him," Blossom says slipping in front of Sakura once again, "It won't look good for you being the only one from our age group that does not bring a date."
"I'll think about it," Sakura responses. "I need to find Naruto. I have some training we need to do together." Sakura pushing pass her cousin. The pink hair ninja turn back to see the teen ran off waving to Sakura.
She turns and continues her search. Through a crowd she spots a blond walking away. She moves closer seeing orange in her clothes. He continues to walk away with two boxes in his hands. She may just see his back but she could tell it her teammate.
"Naruto," Sakura calls. She hurries to her teammate. She match pass with speed with the blond.
"Sakura," Naruto says with a smile. "I was to come and get you."
"I want to help you," Sakura says, "You know I'm going to live there."
"Kakashi gave me some advice about need to be done," Naruto says, "You know he went undercover as a carpenter. There a lot of work but luckily it all easy thing. I just got power and water to it. I need to work on the roof and walls and the floor. It doesn't have a heat. And I have no ideal how to get on install."
Sakura frown at the lack of heat. She spent time in worst weather but even a ninja needs a place to relax. With the cold season, she is going to be spending the longer nights there. Cold nights with no heat. "That is why I got to the heater," Naruto says raising the box in his arms.
They enter an area that Sakura calls the single ninja resident area. Many places have balcony for easy entrance or exit. Healthy trees rise from buildings. She giggles as Kakashi ran by chase by some female ninjas. She turn back to see Naruto a way from her and slowly gaining distant.
She follows Naruto down a stone pass. Soon the Stone became uneven. Then weed push between the rocks. Lastly rocks were missing. Naruto stop at large black gates. Sakura listen to the faded peep of the gate in the genital sounds of nature.
She follows Naruto over a path. Her sandals gave a thud as she walk over the interlock stones. On the sides grass unleveled, dirt and sticks resting on ancients leaves. She looks at the building at the end of the path. The windows fogged by years of grim. The walls were faded and patch of brown stains. One of the few shingle drops to the ground.
She foot lands on a step. The board keeps sagging under her foot. She jumps over the steps and lands on the wooden patio. She pushes the door open. Other than a crumbing reception deck off to the side the area was empty. The tiles floor crack. Gaps in the walls showing the timber support. "The rest of the building is like this," Naruto says as he follows Sakura into the room. "I plan on making this a main living area. There are six rooms here and a bathroom on the floor above. There are wooden paths leading to other buildings."
Sakura slips pass the crumbling reception desk into a small area coming from the lobby. "This could be a good walk-in closet," she says.
"Alright," Naruto yells. "Let's get going." Sakura watch as many shadow clones of Naruto appear around her. After a cheer they ran from the room.
"I'll work on the kitchen," Sakura yells, "Where is it?" She looks to see a pair of doors at the end of the former lobby. She steps over the worn and damage tiles and pushes the doors open. Her lips became a small smile as she look at the hot spring sign. "I hope it still here," she says.
She looks down the hall pass an aged sign with the word "ballroom" and others paint on it. She walks by some doors to the end of the hall. She step outside onto a raise wood platform with a sturdy roof cover it. The path turns and then passes a large building. The boards moan from the first steps in years lands on them. She pushes the door of the large building.
She enters a large room. The painted wall fades. From the ceiling hang a candelabra shape in the leaf symbol. The brass tarnish and bulbs broke. She walks across the marble floor to a large glass panel. With a little effort she the panel rattles open. She frowns at the matted overgrown plants in the field beyond. Vines reach over a stone patio. She push her hair back as the wind push it. She yanks the panel close. "It a big room," Sakura says, "A little too big for us."
She pushes simple double doors. "This kitchen is a bit big too," she says. To her right a large refrigerator. The back all hold sinks and shelves. In the center, a long row of stoves. Overall the kitchen could easily handle a large party. "I hope there is a smaller kitchen."
She quickly returns to the main building. In the hall she spots a simple brown door like those leading the kitchen. She pushes it open a little room and smile at a single stove and sink. She brush some dust from a table. A single paper became uncover. She lifts a small paper from the table. "A room service menu," she says, "Well time to get to work."
Hours later, Sakura smile at the room. Dust not longer rest on any the surface. The counter and shelves gain new life. The sink releases a grand shine. "All those low rank missions are useful," she says as she walks from the room.
She enters the former lobby. The walls once again shown their true off-white color. The floor clothes in a think brown carpet. She slips off her shoes. The carpet gently crests her feet as she walks to Naruto. She stops to look at Naruto sleeping form. His arms and legs spread out. "I'll let him sleep," She says, "What else is here?" She turns from Naruto's spread out body to a spiral staircase.
She found to strange that only the top of the step was wood. They were held up by metal. There was also a void under her as she slowly clime. At the top she walks over the steps and pushes open the first door. She walks across the large room to the first door. She smiles at the bathroom. "I hope I get a private bathroom." She walks from the room. "This was a hot spring resort. I wonder if the hot spring is still useable."
She rushes down the stairs and from the former lobby to a hall. She strolls to a doorway by a pink picture. She enters a room with tilt floor and walls. She step pass some lockers. She slid open a glass door. She step out a thick warm wrap around her instead of a chill like the rest of the outdoor. She looks at the smooth rocks under the water. She ran her fingers around the smooth boards of the fence. She stops to look at the second door. She moves her hand through the stream to the warm water. "I need to try this later."
Once again, Sakura enter the former lobby and she pushes her foot into Naruto. "It time to wake," the pink hair ninja says, "You need to get the others."
"That's right," the blonds says as he jumps to his feet. "I think I will go get Hinata."
In a large building, a man sat watching his daughter closing her suitcase. He reduces the chakra to his eyes. The sight of his daughter fades to that of a wall. With silent steps, he left the room. Even with the quickening of his step in the hall remain silent.
He spots a little girl wearing training clothes. Her pupil of her eyes lost in a pale purple. "Hanabi," he says, "Come here."
"Yes father," Hanabi replied back in kind.
He watches the girl come to him. "I have a mission for you," he says.
"Father, I am still in the academy," Hanabi utter trying to keep respectful. She wonders why her father, the head of the powerful, would give her a mission.
"Don't question me," the man grunts, "I will arrange for you to stay with Hinata, your sister. I want you to make sure nothing go too far."
"What's too far?" Hanabi asks in curiosity.
"Make sure that Hinata does not go too far with the person she force to be fake marry to," the man answers.
"Like what?"
"Do not leave them alone together and report to me what they been doing. Now get ready." He needs someone he can trust to keep Hinata shy and week from getting exploited.
"Yes father," Hanabi replies with a respectful bow and too her leave. She turns with a new though. "If this is a mission what about the payment."
"You perform as I say and you will be reward." Hanabi walk away.
A woman walk up and drop to her knee. "Hiashi, the blond kid here," she says, "He is in the reception hall."
"Very well," Hiashi nodded before walking away and towards the reception hall.
Naruto walk aimlessly around the room. "Welcome, I am the head of the Hyuga clan, Hiashi." A man with pale eyes says as he enters the room. "They summon Hinata. I want to know about the male that my daughter will be staying with."
"Naruto Uzumaki the next hokage," the blond says, "I like ramen. I hate the three minutes for the ramen to cook."
"I see," Hiashi response. His practice diplomatic skills undermined by a strange comment from a teen. "As you learn from your match with Neji, the Hyuga clan is highly prize for our capacity. In fact Hinata was taken for that reason. I kill," He lingers on that word, "the jounin who touch her in the wrong way." His voices lower with murder intend fill it. "How can I be so sure that you can keep Hinata safe?"
Naruto rub the back of his head. "You know one time I had two coupons for free Ramen. I meet a friend and gave him one to make him happy. When I did have ramen stand, I couldn't find my remaining coupon. I strip down to my boxer. It turn out it was under my headband."
"How does that answer my question?" Hiashi ask. His annoyance rose.
"I had a hard time finding the coupon because it was in a place I normally don't look."
"They will not find Hinata because they will look here for her instead of at your place," Hiashi says, "With your place in mind. I may need to contact her so I would like of it location."
"It on a small stone street that comes off the one street that comes from the main street to the ninja academy."
"So it is closer to the ninja academy than here."
"Father," a soft spoke interrupted to them. Hiashi turn to see his daughter. Her eyes turn from Naruto with her face spread with redden warmth. "Hinata," he says, "I just have a little talk with your training partner. It turn out he is closer to academy. I just thought that your sister may like a shorter trip there. She can even share a room with you."
"If you say so father," Hinata mutter. Her hands tighten on her suitcase not able to look into her father's eyes. She had hoped to be alone with Naruto or away from those of her clan. With the clothing she was planning on buying. After all, it is a good time to lets Naruto knows how she feels and little skimpier clothes may help.
Meanwhile, Hanabi look at her suit case. She slid her fingers over her clothes. She power up a device. "Okay," she says, "my night vision works. I can't wait for my byakugan gets stronger. I hope the sound improving thing is working". She closes her suitcase. "My mission is to make sure sister and the other one is not alone, report to my father and most important make sure they don't go too far. I don't why how far they travel matters." She stands up and grip her suitcase handle with two hands. She plant her two feet on the ground and pull. The suitcase move a little. "My first mission," Hanabi says as she drags her luggage.
In the reception hall, Naruto look at the Hiashi and ask, "So what is your favorite ramen flavor?"
Hiashi's dignity allows him to only with a merely raised of his eyebrow and silent.
Elsewhere, Hanabi continue to pull her luggage "I am getting out of this place with my sister." She grip her teeth to force herself to move faster.
Hinata quietly rest as he look at Naruto and her father. Then Naruto spoke once more, "So what do you think of my victory over Neji."
Hiashi tighten his hands as he remembers the match. A match between a dead last who became a genin by the graces of the nice teacher and Neji, a Hyuga prodigy.
Hanabi moan as she drags her suitcase. "I hope there won't be many adults." She starts to yank her suitcase, "Then it would be like a sleepover." She said to herself with great cheer. She was hardly allowed to go out with the rest of her peers making her look like a snob but in truth, she had always wanted to be carefree like the other girl in her class Moegi.
She stop and took deep breathes. "I should have chosen the one with wheels."
Hiashi look at the blond in front of him. Calmly he spoke, "So have you though about getting a seal like Neji have?"
"Why would I want that?" Naruto yells. Hiashi fought back a smile at the ease to kill the one that is male before him when he gets too close to his oldest daughter.
"I'll go get Hanabi," Hinata says. She ran off from the room. The two sat looking at each other. It was not long before Hinata return with her sister and luggage. "She had a hard time with this."
"I have others to pickup," Naruto says. He stands a bow to the head of the Hyuga clan. He lifts the two suitcases. "Come on," he says.
With the suitcase in hand, Naruto lead the two Hyuga females. On side of the road the tall wall of the Hyuga complex. On the other large buildings. Like vases, these buildings hold beauty and also a strange emptiness. The only time they come to life is during a ninja exam.
A door of one of those building open. Naruto stop to watch Gaara walk up to him. "Are you a here for Temari?" Gaara ask.
"I was planning on getting her a little later," Naruto says rubbing the back of his head.
"Since you're here then it would be easier to get her now," Gaara says.
"I don't mind," Hinata stutter .
"Alright," Naruto says.
"Follow me and I'll get her," Gaara says. He led them into the building. Beautiful paintings village landscape display on the wall. In the center of the room, a hand carve table. The skin covers silk cress Naruto as he low into a set.
"You're husband here," Gaara calls.
"Fake husband!" the blond yells as she walks into the room. "I don't know why you ordered me to do this," Tamari grown.
"Let's get going," Naruto says.
Gaara watch the ninja in orange and the three females leave him alone. He looks around the empty building. "My true vacation is about to begin," he says. He pulls book title The Sight of Konohamaru. "I need to see if my bet won. Temari did end up with Naruto."
"It's a dump," Hanabi says look at the building before her.
"Wait till you get to the outdoor survival. And it is better than it was before," Naruto says, "I hope Sakura can show you around. I need to get Tenten and Ino."
While walking through the village, Naruto pull out a small the paper. "Lets see Ino is at a flower shop," Naruto says as his eyes roll over the paper. It was a short trip to the flower shop. With the ringing of the small bells, Naruto turn to see a blond man wearing a ninja vest.
"You and me need to talk," the man informed him in his most threatening tone, "You know of Ino's techniques right?"
"Yea," Naruto says, "She can leave her body and control another."
"That is a simple trick," the man answer, "I taught my daughter that and I can do worst. I can shatter your consciousness if you do anything to my daughter."
"I won't let my friends get hurt and I won't hurt them," Naruto says.
"I didn't say hurt her," the man says flexing his arms, "I said if you do anything."
"Maybe we should get Tenten," Naruto says as he starts to back away from the jounin and his battle face.
The small bells rang once again. "Let's get this over with," Ino says. She slings her pack over her shoulder. "You better not think that I'm in this for more than being order, Naruto."
"You're not the only one under order," Naruto says, "I just need to get Tenten."
"No need to." Naruto turn around to see a female with her dark hair two buns on her head. "I'm all ready." She lifts a large scroll and a small pack.
"Let then I'll show you to the place," Naruto says.
Moment later, Ino look at the building before her. "Look at this yard," Ino says, "All those plants. It's horrible. How can you lets those plants suffer like that"
"I've spent my time on the building," Naruto answers, "You know, the one you're going to live in." He starts to walk away hoping to avoid a yelling match. "Oh, Hinata's little sister is staying here too," Naruto says as he push the door open. He looks at the four females sitting on the ground. The pink hair stands up.
"Naruto we still have some other things to worry about," Sakura says as she stood up, "We need furniture and other things."
In the Hokage tower, Tsunade looking into the crystal ball at an image of Naruto. He was sitting around with the girls.
