On Angel's Wings

A/N: ZOMG! I've become obsessed with the Ino/Naruto pairing! Although I still love the Naruto/Hinata pairing better. So, I wanted to make this one based on them making a friendship and so on. Also, this is about sometime he came back after the 2.5 years of training. So this may contain spoilers for those who haven't read that far. But don't worry; I made up my own original stuff.

Finally the two were finished with the new training. They both wiped their foreheads with their clothing and looked at each other.

"Good job Naruto, you have finally perfected it," Jiraiya said with a wide smile.

"Yeah, now, I think I can do anything!" Naruto replied punching his fists while in the air. A white aura of chakra was surrounding him, "This power is amazing!"

"You're lucky you got another set of chakra within you boy," he got up from his lying position, "To even defeat me and still have so much chakra…"

"I do what I can sensei!" he covered his mouth, "Whoa, did I just say that?'

"That girl sure is rubbing off on you," he smirked, "Maybe you'll be more respectful in that mode."

"Hikari-chan is very nice you know, but you'd never know, she's not inside you," he smiled and landed back on his feet. The scratches on him faded and the angelic wings that were on his back faded back into him.

"You ripped your new vest you know," Jiraiya said patting him on the back.

"So? At least it won't have to struggle so much to get out of my back. I'm glad I have this power too, kyuubi kind of scares me sometimes," he let out a sigh and scratched his head. He fixed his hair and turned to the gates of Konoha, "I guess I should take a break and catch up with some people."

"Okay, tell Sakura and Tsunade I said hi," Jiraiya asked and he disappeared in a poof of smoke.

Naruto waved goodbye and walked through the gates happily. The shinobi there greeted him with delight; the usual glares disappeared for some reason. They smiled at him, and said things like, "Naruto-kun is back!"

"Strange," he muttered to himself, maybe they sensed his new chakra…Or maybe they actually missed him. He smiled even wider and closed his eyes and placed his hands behind his head, "I can get used to this…"

"Oh kami! Is that you Naruto?" A familiar voice spoke out.

Naruto rubbed the small lump on his head and looked up to see Ino opening the door of her flower shop. He stood up and blushed because he was so stupid, "Oh, I didn't see that…"

"Maybe because you were closing your eyes idiot," she smiled, "You look kind of different…"

"It has been a while Ino, I got rid of my orange ness, and I found this new outfit! Plus I have a new chakra flow!" forgetting about his cockiness, he closed his moth, but opened it in panic, "Oh kami! You weren't supposed to hear that…"

"New chakra flow?" she tilted her head to the side.

"Well, since I already told you, do you mind coming with me to the training grounds, and you must keep this a secret okay?"

"Sure…" he started to walk towards the training grounds and she soon followed. She smiled at his new outfit; he looked like some sort of angel or something. But the black made him look like he was some sort of fallen angel. She blushed slightly, 'He kind of looks hot,' she shook her head, but then looked at the ground. It's been a while since she'd seen him, since anyone saw him. She always thought of him as the dumb idiot that somehow is even more powerful than the Uchiha legend.

"Naruto," she began, "We're here."

"Oh, true, true," he ran into the center of the grounds, "Okay, I'm going to show you my new power, but, promise not to tell anyone okay?"

"Okay, whatever Naruto," she walked towards a tree and leaned against it, "This must be good."

Naruto made hand symbols and started glowing…

"Hello?" he called out in his mind.

"Is that you kit?" the demonic fox called out.

"Yes, but I don't need to see you now, where's Hikari-chan?"

"She's making lunch for the three of us."

"Oh, well I need some of her chakra."

"Naruto-kun?" a female voice called out. A bright light shone and a small girl with silver hair and a pink kimono came from out of the kitchen with steaming bowls of ramen.

"I need some of your chakra Hikari-chan."

"Oh, okay Naruto-nii-san."

Ino was amazed with what she saw. Naruto glowed with a white aura of chakra, his hair became more like her hair color and wings sprouted from his back.

"So what do you think Ino?" he smirked and began flying in the air doing flips and such. His hair glistened and his wings did too.

"You look so amazing," she said and walked up to him as he landed.

"I found out that besides the kyuubi within me, I had this other girl in there. She's Hikari-chan and she supplies me with this chakra. I transform into this and I am really powerful!" he made more hand symbols and the special transformation disappeared.

"Kyuubi?" she tilted her head again. She was very confused, first she sees a boy she hasn't seen in like two years, next she learns he has some sort of special chakra and now she learns about kyuubi, "Wasn't he killed?"

Naruto sighed at his stupidity again, "Oh kami, why does everything spill out when I talk to you… Well anyways, kyuubi was sealed within me…And so I have his chakra too and yeah…that's pretty much it."

"Wow," she looked him up and down, "Not only do you look way better, but you're even stronger than Sasuke-kun."

"I guess so, Ino, can you sit with me for a while?" she nodded and the two sat on the grass.

"You know, you're the only one who knows my little secret," he stated.

"I guess so," she looked onto the ground and twirled her fingers around the grass.

"I trust you," Naruto then said in a serious tone, "And I really want to know you better."

Ino blushed slightly and turned to him. He then pulled out a beautiful lily.

"You know, in one of the places I've trained, I saw millions of these lilies. They were so beautiful, swaying in the wind. I missed all of you guys and almost everything reminded me of you all. For instance, the dog chasing the mailman somehow reminded me of Kiba. The mosquitoes and numerous flies that bothered me reminded me of Shino, you get it. Those flowers, they reminded me of you," he smiled and laid down on his back.

"Wow Naruto, you changed a lot," she stated before lying down.

"I guess so, but I still have my childishness. I'm planning to prank Granny Tsunade while it's dark so no one will see me."

"Oh nice," she looked into the sky. It reminded her of her friend Shikamaru.

"You know, I bet Shikamaru would enjoy this."

"You read my mind Naruto."

He smiled his usual goofy grin, which in some way she found cute.

"Want to go get some ramen with me?" Naruto asked getting up.

"No, I'm on a diet you see-"

"What?" he questioned her with a concerned face, "You still can't be dieting…."

"I have to have a slimmer figure Naruto, I'd be more attractive that way."

"Hmm," he thought out loud and looked her up and down.

"You don't need the diet, you already look really attractive you know," he kept his smile as she blushed.

'Man I've been blushing a lot near Naruto. I think I may have developed a crush of somewhat,' she thought to herself while Naruto continued to grin.

"Okay then, if you say so Naruto-kun," she grabbed his hand, "Let's eat and catch up."

"Okay Ino-hime, I'm starving anyways!"

Later…

"Wow, that's pretty cool," Ino said after finishing her bowl.

"I guess so," Naruto said finishing his fifth and final bowl.

"Yo," said a familiar voice.

"Kakashi!" Naruto greeted.

"Haven't seen you in a while."

"Yeah."

Kakashi saw Ino sitting beside Naruto, "Is this your girlfriend?"

The two blondes blushed and Naruto shook his head.

"We're just eating and talking," Naruto stated scratching his nose.

"That's what we normal people call dates," Kakashi pointed out.

"Oh, so this was a date Ino-chan?"

"Yeah, I guess so."

"It was fun, let's do it again tomorrow!"

Kakashi smiled, 'the oblivious idiot probably doesn't know what a date could mean.'

"Sure Naruto-kun," Ino said smiling.

"Well, sorry to break your precious moment, but the Hokage has sent me to bring you two to her office for an important mission."

The two nodded and they headed out towards the Hokage-sama's office.

"So, he is back," Tsunade said watching from the window.

"Yes Tsunade-sama," Shizune said coming from within the shadows, "Can I turn on the lights yet?" she asked being annoyed by the darkness.

"Yes…"

But then, the door swung open to reveal a very loud-mouthed blonde, "TSUNADE NO BAACHAN!" Naruto yelled out rushing to glomp the Hokage. But instead, he was greeted by Sakura's fist.

"Be more polite to Tsunade-sama," Sakura said cracking her knuckles.

"Hello to you too Sakura-chan," Naruto said taking himself out from the wall. Ino couldn't help but to giggle.

"Why are you so bubbly?" Sakura asked in an annoyed tone.

"Probably because she had fun on her date with Naruto," Kakashi said, next being whammed by Ino.

"What!" Sakura yelled out in surprise.

Naruto then stood next to Ino, "Yeah Sakura-chan, Ino-chan and I are good friends now and so I took her to eat ramen with me and we talked! We're going somewhere tomorrow too! I'm going to have so much fun with Ino-chan!" he jumped up and down in excitement as Sakura and Ino's eye twitched.

"You're on a date because you're friends?" Sakura asked, eye twitching.

"Yeah, why would I ask some random person to eat ramen with me? It's just right to eat ramen with your good friend."

The eyes twitched and the silence grew. But not for too long.

"Anyways…" Tsunade began rolling her eyes at Naruto's foolishness, "I called for you two because you both need to go on a mission for me.

The two nodded, Ino with her eye twitching and Naruto just being Naruto.

"The mission is of an A rank, I'm trusting you with this because of Ino's chuunins status and Naruto's new gained power. Oh and I will up your status to chuunins Naruto, I know you deserve it."

"Thank you Hokage-sama," Naruto said in a soft and polite voice.

Tsunade's eye then had its share of twitching.

"What's wrong Granny Tsunade?" Naruto asked tilting his head.

"N-Nothing…Anyways, ever since you killed Orochimaru a while ago, we were able to investigate his hideout. We saved all the experiments, all except for one. And by some strange coincidence the one that is the most deadly is the on the loose. He has been spotted by numerous teams and ANBU. Here is a drawing done by Kiba. (o.0) Apparently he has blonde hair with tinges of red. It's spiky and he wears a forehead protector with his name, Noratu."

"What!" fumed Naruto, "His name is almost like mine!"

"Yes, probably because he was made from your blood," Tsunade explained in a serious tone. She placed her hands on the crappy drawing, "Plus he wears a black shirt and black short. There is a swirl on his shirt and he carries a kunai pouch and a katana. Be careful, he has the basic moves of a shinobi mixed with Naruto's rasengan and some of Orochimaru's jitsus. Plus his katana has poison on it. We have not found an antidote but, come here if you get hit. Sakura will extract it. Ok, last words, you must kill him understand? Also be careful for he is quite powerful and almost sounds exactly like Naruto but deeper. Is this clear?"

"Hai," the two nodded in agreement and marched out.

"Wait," she called out.

"Naruto/"

"Yes Tsunade-baachan."

"Take care of Ino."

"Of course, I'll protect her with my like."

"Ino."

"Yes."

"You watch him too. Don't let him trouble you."

"Of course Hokage-sama."

The two bowed and they left.

"You think they can assassinate him?" Sakura asked.

"I don't truly know Naruto's new skills, but I am confident in his and Ino's abilities anyways."

"Wow, you're actually sounding professional," Shizune said with a smirk.

"Shut-up."

"So Ino-chan I guess our little date for tomorrow is postponed. But even better, I get to spend time with you!" he hugged her gently then let go.

"I guess so Naruto-kun," she smiled and blushed, "I'm going to pack, see you later."

"Okay Ino-hime," he said in delight and began to walk away.

"Wait," she stopped him and forced him to turn around.

"What is it Ino-hime?" just before he tilted his head, Ino gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"See you later Naruto-kun!" she said winking.

"Bye," he placed his goofy grin on and touched the place where she kissed him.

'Ino-chan is so cute,' he thought to himself blushing, 'I guess I kind of like her.'

Just when he turned around he met Sakura again.

"Hey Sakura-chan," he greeted her with a smile.

"Hey Naruto, so you have a thing for Ino-pig?"

"I guess I do," he said with a smile, "But don't tell anyone."

"Okay but only if you promise to take care of her."

"Of course."

"Naruto you understand this is a hard mission, especially if it's only you and Ino. Watch her back."

"I thought you always hate her."

"We may be rivals in some ways, but she's still my best friend."

"Ok Sakura-chan, bye!"

"Bye Naruto" she smiled, one of those rare conversations between her and Naruto with no bashing…Nice
