Haha, I got hate mail after hate mail about how I put the story under Naruto and Ino. It's kind of funny how the two main characters HAVE to be fucking in order to appeal to people. I mean I could do that in this story but I'm not into incest. Lmao. Anyway, let's get on with it. And perhaps we get to see Pein in this chapter? Not sure how far I'll get. I'm aiming for a 5k chapter. Now that we've seen how Naruto's doing, let's find out how the other Namikaze twin is fairing. Hm?

Chapter 2

"Ms. Namikaze."

"…"

"Ms. Namikaze, if you will please."

"…"

"INO!"

Ino shot up from her previous position. She looked around quickly; trying to recollect herself.

"I…" She looked at the other members of the council, hoping they'd give her some sort of idea as to what Tsunade just asked her.

"I…request a recess!" The young blonde declared.

The blonde was about to leave the circular table until she felt Tsunade's eyes staring an evil gaze through her head. And this is how it's been for the past two weeks with Gaara on another "business trip".

"Now," Tsunade began massaging her temples, "I will ask this once more. A simple question really. Have you brought the list of Mirai members for us to check?"

Ino reached into her white and purple cloak to produce a small scroll. She then tossed it to Tsunade and rested her chin on the circular table. Normally, she'd behave with much more class when she was in a council meeting, but today she honestly didn't give a damn. She was tired of being left in Konoha while her brother got to go out and hunt down missing nins. Granted, she just got back from her own hunting session with Hinata and Neji just a week ago, but she still hated staying in the village.

'Ino, sit up straight. Come on now.' Inoichi's voice said in her head.

'Daddy, it won't change the fact that this is nothing but a glorified prison cell.' She responded.

In truth, the council room was a prison cell. Actually, a little worse than a prison cell. Because instead of being in a dim lit cell with (at the most) one person you couldn't stand, you were in a well-lit room with 12 people you didn't want to be around. Let's not forget the fact that there were no windows, no paintings, and no expression. Just an ivory table that complimented the ivory walls, a nice oak floor, and also a nice oak chair for everyone to sit. For someone as creative as Ino, this room was her own personal Hell. Unfortunately, she was the highest-ranking Mirai member in the village at the time and Tsunade only allowed the group to exist inside Konoha as long as they regularly attended council meetings. In a way she was treating Mirai like ROOT, but with trust.

Tsunade read down the list and began shaking her head. Ino could already tell an argument was going to come up. Not between herself and Tsunade, but with the other eight members of the new council that pissed her off. Out of the twelve at the table, Ino only personally knew her father (head of intelligence), Temari (ambassador of Sunagakure), Morino Ibiki (head of ANBU and village defense), and Tsunade herself. The other eight were all a part of the economics committee, civilian committee and blah blah blah. In a nutshell, Ino was about to lose her mind.

"And Suna is okay with this list?" Tsunade questioned Ino.

"Let Temari take a look at it if she wants. It's not violating anything in our agreement." Ino responded in a bored voice.

"Now just a moment!" one of the civilian committee members exclaimed. "We demand to hear this list of shinobi you're stealing from the village. Which, by the way, is a ludicrous idea in the first place!"

"You weren't saying it was ludicrous when Mirai paid your greedy ass money from all the bounties we've earned from other villages, you corrupt hypocrite." Ino spoke back without thinking.

Tsunade had to divert her gaze from the now trembling man before she began laughing out loud. The Hokage glanced at Temari, whom was sitting to Ino's left, with her hand over her mouth. Tsunade quickly cleared her throat.

"Ms. Namikaze, please refrain from shouting. Now, Mirai is not to be thought of as another village, but another ROOT. Minus the corruption of course. The agreement Konoha has with them is that they may utilize any shinobi that is under Jounin level as long as that shinobi is willing, and has an experienced shinobi with them. You can't get a ninja with more experience than the Kazekage himself, going out on these missions with the members of the group." Tsunade stated, "Also, they are doing us a great deed. As far as the other villages know Mirai has no affiliation with Konoha, meaning they can collect the bounties for all the missing ninja they obtain and split that money between Konoha, Suna, and Mirai themselves. Think of it as rent. And If I recall correctly, we've been getting a substantial amount of income in the last two months this group has been active."

Temari and Ino simply nodded their head as the elder blonde talked up Mirai.

"Even so," another elderly man contested, "Who are the ninja that they are requesting now? The shinobi that they obtain are theirs forever."

"You obviously didn't read the memo Haek-san." Temari stepped in, "The shinobi that enter Mirai can be called back to their original village at any time of crisis. Also, those shinobi that are called back to their villages work for free. My brother made this agreement that you ALL signed, very fair indeed."

"Yes yes, I understand that. Just get on with the list." Haek urged with a red face.

Temari, who currently had the list, looked to Tsunade. The Hokage simply nodded, prompting Temari to read the list.

"Nara Shikamaru, Hyuuga Neji, Hyuuga Hinata, Morishi Tenten, Inuzuka Kiba, Rock Lee, Aburame Shino, Sarutobi Konohamaru-"

"Absolutely not!" The council shouted.

Ino simply smiled to herself as they group began arguing over Konohamaru's staying in the Mirai. She told Naruto twenty times that the boy wouldn't be able to be in the group until he made Jounin, seeing how he's the Third's grandson. She knew her brother would get cranky if she didn't at least defend his request…but then again, if he wanted Konohamaru in then he should've fought for it himself. She wasn't going to waste her energy in this losing battle.

"Okay, okay. So we'll take Konohamaru out. We just thought it'd be nice to have a child in our group. I mean, we're called Mirai cause we're fighting for the future. We thought we could use the brat as a mascot or something." Ino shouted in an attempt to quiet the room. "Now is this meeting done with? I have important matters to tend to."

'My ass you have important business.' Ino heard Temari's voice in her head and tried to refrain from smiling.

The two girls had become very close in the last few months. Not only due to the fact that their brothers urged them to talk with one another (Kankuro and Naruto. Gaara couldn't care less), but also the fact that they both loved annoying the shadow manipulator. In fact, whenever Temari had to come to Konohagakure she always stayed with the Namikazes even when that meant Jammer having to sleep outside.

"You, Namikaze Ino, should be a lot more considerate seeing as we're allowing your little cult to reside in our village." One of the members shouted.

"Yeah, a cult that you all approved of immediately." Ino responded quickly, "How about we just scrap the whole thing? The Namikazes can just become missing nins. Oops! That won't be for very long, cause guess who would take us in even if we had the world against us. THE KAZEKAGE! Then you can tell your great great grandchildren how you ran out the last two heirs of the Namikaze name because you were too damn ignorant to keep to yourself. Brilliant idea."

On the inside, Tsunade was laughing her ass off. She already knew what Ino was trying to do, but it wasn't going to work. The Namikaze princess was trying to get banned from council meetings all together, but she has entertained the Hokage so much that Tsunade was going to request her to always be in the weekly meetings.

"With that, I believe the meeting is over." Tsunade said as she rose from her seat.

As usual, she was the first person out of the room. But this time, she didn't leave due to an impending headache; instead, she was trying to get to her office where she could laugh at the young blonde's antics.

After saying bye to Inoichi, Ino and Temari left for the nearest ramen stand. The girls joked about the elders of the council and talked about things that annoyed their brothers the most.

"I'm serious, Gaara will freak out if you stare at him long enough." Temari laughed as she slurped her noodles, "Kankuro does it to him whenever he's pissed off."

"All you have to do for Naruto is tell him you'll buy him all the ramen he wants if he can perform the most basic kata with a katana." Ino giggled as she reached for her third bowl.

"You mea-?"

"He has NO talent for weapons of any sort. He's the anti-Tenten." Ino choked out, "When the monks tried to teach us to use weaponry, Ruto nearly chopped Ero-sennin's head off. Needless to say, he was banned from using anything but kunai and shuriken."

"Well, he's got an arsenal of chakra at his disposal. Has he ever run out before? Like after your guys' training?"

"Hmmm…" Ino thought as she downed the last of the broth in her bowl, "He can only use the fox's chakra in small doses, but as long as he focuses he won't run out. If he gets flustered then he starts to draw the demon chakra involuntarily."

"Really. Gaara usually ends his fights by putting all his chakra into one attack. I've been begging him to break that habit, but he never listens."

"Haha, if Naruto was to put all his chakra into a rasengan…that would be one huge explosion." Ino then moaned and put a wad of bills on the counter of the ramen stand, "They're back. Shall we go greet them?"

Temari shook her head at her friend's premonition. She knew better than to ask how Ino knew the boys were back because if she did the only response would be, 'twin thing.'

The girls walked towards the gates of the village side by side. During their walk Temari remembered a question she was meaning to ask for a while.

"So…about you and Jammer." Temari began.

Ino was already worried where this question was heading, but merely raised an eyebrow and continued looking forward.

"You two are together…right?"

"Define together." Ino replied dryly.

"I take that as a no?"

"Oh no. It all depends on what your definition of together is. You can mean together like, 'Always spending time together, holding hands, kissing under the tree' type shit. Or you can mean, 'Rarely see each other, never showing affection in public, always at each other's throats' together." Ino spoke without missing a beat as if she had this conversation before.

"Umm, which together are you two?" Temari asked lightly.

"You can decide that for yourself in just a second." Ino said pointing to the group of boys ahead of them.

Gaara was in front of the group with his hand on his head. He made brief eye contact with Ino which just screamed out, "They're your damn problem now." The red head nodded toward his sister and quickly headed toward the hotel room he was staying at.

"Oy! Gaara! Don't be such a pooper!" Naruto called after his friend, "Ino! How did your council meeting go?"

Jammer began laughing aloud upon Naruto's mention of the council meeting. They both knew Ino would want to kill them for making her do that, but the idea of her sitting in a room for hours on end was humorous indeed.

"Konohamaru ain't on board with Mirai." Ino said as she gave her brother a hug around his neck.

"Whoa, what got into you?" Naruto chuckled as he hugged her back, "And that doesn't mean much of anything. Temari ain't officially on board either. Mainly cause she's ambassador I guess…"

"Yeah, but the thing with Temari is she's not the honorable grandson. She's also Jounin level in Suna as opposed to K-boy being a Genin in Konoha." Jammer said, "Shall I point out more differences?"

"You've done enough." Naruto said to his friend as he released his sister, "If you guys will excuse me, I have to find Hinata. Is the old man in town Ino?"

"Yeah. He's somewhere around here. I think Hinata is training with Hanabi right now…he's not listening." Ino muttered to herself as her brother ran for the Hyuuga compound.

Temari tried to not draw attention to herself as she watched the couple before her. Jammer and Ino stared at each other for a brief second then looked away. Ino was about to say something but Jammer beat her to it.

"You got some veteran shinobi trying to make vaccines to your venoms. May wanna be careful on your choices now." The ex-Kumo nin said calmly.

"Is that…alcohol on your breath? At two in the afternoon no less?" Ino glared at the boy.

"Don't you get on me about alcohol. I risk my life daily. You mean to say I can't have a drink whenever I want?"

"You said you wouldn't drink while on missions. Did you lie about that too?"

"Just like how you promised Naruto you'd fight to have Konohamaru in Mirai?"

Ino looked away from Jammer's face.

"I knew it. You have no right to call me a liar. You're a liar yourself."

"Like I care what a drunk says about me."

"Why don't you pull that stick out your ass."

"If I did I'd probably beat you to death with it!" Ino turned around and walked toward Temari, "See how he is? Fucking asshole."

"Hey! I'm not done talking to you yet!" Jammer ran after Ino.

Ino felt Jammer put his hands on her shoulders and was just about to send a roundhouse kick to his head. That is, before Jammer's lips meet with hers. It was a quick kiss, but it did what it was supposed to. Jammer pulled away and smiled at the blonde.

"I missed you too." He said to the blushing girl in front of him.

"What…what are you gonna do tonight?" She asked, trying to break from her shock of the sudden kiss.

"Oh, you know. Harass Kiba, train, bathe. You?"

"I mean where are you staying, baka."

"Well, Temari's here, so I guess I'm gonna be outside."

"Well…" Ino began.

Temari watched the odd couple holding each other in the street. She was expecting Ino to turn around and deck Jammer when he spun her around. Hell, she was planning on throwing a punch as well. So when she watched them acting like a normal couple after the show they just put one…saying she was confused is an understatement. She saw Ino whispering something to the boy, then before separating she pecked him on the cheek and walked back to Temari. The Suna kunoichi was confused to see Jammer's surprised face after whatever Ino just told him.

"Let's go Temari." Ino beckoned the girl, "So? What you think of that?"

"You two are…eccentric." Temari laughed.

"Hm, eccentric. I like that." Ino laughed as the girls traveled back to the Namikaze home.

Naruto literally sprinted to the Hyuuga compound like a man possessed with a warm breeze blowing past him. He hadn't seen Hinata in over a week now and he couldn't take it any longer. Of course he had a picture of her whenever he left for missions, but seeing the smile in person was just so much better. That and he never had to hear Jammer or Kiba's constant teasing whenever he was caught ogling the simple picture of Hinata smiling at him. As he ran through the village he began to ponder how he lived for thirteen years without seeing the girls gentle smile every day. While in mid-sprint, Naruto's body suddenly froze stiff and stood straight up.

'The hell?' He thought to himself.

"I was calling to you just a second ago and you completely ignored me." Naruto heard a voice behind him, "Such a troublesome guy I swear."

"Oh, sorry Shikamaru. I'm listening now, so can you drop the jutsu?" Naruto pleaded with the Nara.

Shikamaru walked from behind Naruto and patted him on the back. His shadow immediately retracted back to its original state.

"Nice to see you came back from your mission alright. I take it everything went without a hitch?" Shikamaru inquired.

"Wow, you sound like you were concerned. We had Gaara with us, and you know he's a good strategist." Naruto watched his lazy friend smirk a bit.

"Whatever. Main thing I was worried about is where I could take a nice nap outside. The damn September clouds aren't giving me any nice sun beams lately." Shikamaru said with his hands behind his head.

"Whoa, it's September?" Naruto counted on his hands for a moment, "I completely lost track of time. Hahaha, I thought it was still July. That was close, almost bought Kiba a chew toy for his birthday."

"So instead you didn't get him anything for his birthday." Shikamaru stated.

"Oh…that's why he's been so cranky with me." Naruto laughed to himself.

"Such a pain sometimes Naruto. Anyway, I didn't want to keep you from Hinata too long. Just wondering if I'm officially in Mirai now."

"Oh yeah. Ino just came from the meeting and gave them the list. I don't think there were any objections for your entering. Umm, I can get Hanabi-chan to carve you a hitai-ate later today if that's okay with you. Any preference in cloth color?"

"As long as it's not a neon color I don't really care." The Nara replied as he stared at the sky, "I guess I'll go look for Temari now. I'm sure she has something to say about the meeting."

"Yeah, I think she was the only blonde in there that was paying attention." The Namikaze heir laughed to himself, "Later Shika!"

Shikamaru turned around and waved behind him as he walked down the road toward the Namikaze's home. Naruto then went back to his prior task, and raced for the Hyuuga compound.

After a few moments of running, the blonde jumped over the fence of the compound and headed straight for the outdoor training area that was enclosed by the main branch mansion. Even if the clouds were blocking the sun, it was still a fairly warm day out; meaning Hinata and Hanabi would be training outside. The blonde jumped onto the roof of the mansion and ran for the center where he could smell the two girls he was looking for. Naruto leapt off the roof and landed in front of the girls, who had their Byakuugans blaring. Naruto couldn't help but compare his girlfriend to an angel since she was dressed her white gi. Hanabi resembled a miniature Hinata, but her attitude was down right scary during combat training.

"How my girls doin today?" Naruto asked.

Hinata walked to the grinning boy and kissed him on the cheek. Something that she had been working on the last few weeks. She was getting tired of not being able to kiss her boyfriend without blushing. The progress so far was just a kiss on the cheek. If their lips meet then she'd resemble a tomato.

"I take it your mission was a success?" Hinata asked the grinning boy.

"You shouldn't run on the roof of the house like that Naruto-san." Hanabi told the boy as she deactivated her Kekkie Genkai, "Father already dislikes you. Do you really want to upset him?"

Naruto walked to Hanabi and squatted so he was at eye-level with her. The girl eyed him suspiciously. Naruto then turned his head to see one of the shingles from the roof lying on the ground, broken in five places. Naruto turned back to Hanabi with a finger over his lips in an attempt to shoosh her.

"It'll be our secret." He whispered to her before planting a kiss on her forehead.

The girl's face turned red so quickly that Naruto thought it was a genjutsu.

"I…I should kill y…you where you stand!" Hanabi shouted as she covered her blushing face.

"Bring it on shrimp." Naruto put his arms behind his back, "I'll take you AND your sister without even using my arms."

"Challenge accepted!" Hinata shouted from behind Naruto, "Ready Hanabi?"

"Always am." Hanabi responded as she set into her Jūken stance.

Naruto stood in between the girls with a smile on his face. The only indication that he was ready could be seen in the slight bend in his knees. Hanabi noticed this and signaled to her sister to strike first. Hinata rushed Naruto, hoping to stun his legs with a quick strike. Naruto jumped into the air with a frog-like leap into the air, completely evading Hinata's attack. Hanabi then rushed in while Naruto was in the air and attacked him with an open palm to his back. Naruto turned his head to see Hanabi coming at him. The determination that was in Hanabi's face left her instantly when she saw Naruto make a kissy face to her. When she lost her concentration, Naruto lightly kicked her to the side.

Naruto landed on the ground, spun around, then kissed Hinata on the lips. The girl blushed and froze stiff. Naruto turned around to see Hanabi attacking him with renewed vigor. Her strikes were so fluent that Naruto was worried that he'd have to use his arms to defend properly. Hanabi began to get so frustrated with the blonde's constant dodging that she dropped her Jūken stance and launched a right haymaker for the boy's head. Naruto was caught off guard with the sudden…Naruto-like attack and took the punch head on. He fell to his knees, holding his nose.

"Ahh! Hanabi! I think it's…" He began.

Removing his hands from his face, the blonde spat a brown liquid at the girl that drenched her thoroughly. The look of disgust on her face was clearly apparent. Naruto fell back on his back and began laughing.

"This is disgusting!" She shouted.

"Nope, it's toad oil." Naruto choked out.

"It smells atrocious. Either way, you cheated." Hanabi pointed her finger at Naruto.

"Now now, that's not very Hyuuga-like. First you launch a really nice punch for my head and now you're pointing fingers? For shame."

Hanabi crossed her arms and looked away from Naruto. She didn't want to admit he was right. If her father had seen her acting like this she'd have to go through etiquette lessons for the next two years.

"Hanabi, go get cleaned up." Hinata said as she took Naruto's cloak off of him and wrapped her sister in it, "So you won't track that muck in the house. Hurry now."

Naruto patted the Genin on the head and smiled at her.

"When it's just you and me, you can be a kid. If you want to learn a new style of fighting then just ask." He told her.

Hanabi stared at the boy in confusion. She was about to leave, but turned around and gave Naruto a big hug. To anyone passing by, the scene would be heartwarming…but Hanabi was simply getting revenge by wiping the sludge onto Naruto's person.

"I'll keep it in mind, Aniki-baka." She said before hawking a loogy and going into the house.

Hinata was shocked at what she just witnessed her sister do, but the shock left her as she saw the smile on her boyfriend's face.

"You taught her how to do that?" She asked.

"Looks like there's a kid in there after all." Naruto laughed as he tried to wipe the toad oil off of his clothes, "Don't let your dad see her with my cloak. He'll flip."

Hinata walked up to Naruto and kissed him deeply. She linked her arms around the back of his neck and pulled away from his bewildered face. She could feel her face shining as red as ever, but she didn't care at this time.

"What was that for? I gotta find out what I did to deserve that and do it some more." The blonde said as he wrapped his arms around Hinata's lower back.

"Just for being amazing. I've never seen Hanabi like that. I…I didn't even know she knew what a loogy was! How did you even teach her? When?" Hinata bombarded Naruto.

"I'll tell you tonight. At that new seafood place that opened in the south district? Unless you'd rather go to its opening night with someone else…"

"The new one? How did you even get reservations for the opening night? You didn't spend too much did you?"

"Nuh uh. I'm not telling you. I'd lose my amazingness factor." He replied with his 'pedo grin'.

"That's not even a word Naruto." The couple heard Neji's voice behind them, "Can you two stop that now? The maids in the house are talking about how cute you two look."

Neji looked as though he had just come from a training session with Team Gai because he had dirt all over his normally white robes. His hair was still a mess, meaning he was incredibly tired after the workout with his team to not even have the energy to fix his long hair. The couple separated and noticed Neji's questioning stare at the brown sticky substance on their clothes.

"You obviously didn't see Hanabi on your way out." Naruto laughed, "It's only toad oil. Oh! And you guys are now in Mirai. Whenever Hanabi gets a chance, can she make some more hitai-ates? I got all the metal in my cloak."

"Good to hear. I'll be sure to pass that message on to her when she finishes bathing. Now I have to know, how did you get reservations?" Neji stared at Naruto.

"Why? Trying to surprise Tenten?" The blonde shot back.

"…Touché Namikaze." Neji smirked, "Anyway, Hinata. I was supposed to remind you about your meeting with Kurenai-sensei."

"Oh, thank you Neji. When are we going out Naruto?" The girl asked the blonde.

"Well it officially opens at eight. Let's go at nine to be fashionably late. I'll even wear my nice suit." He added with an even bigger grin.

"Okay, see you tonight then. Don't be late again."

"I already apologized for that time. Kiba was asking for an ass kicking."

She gave him one last smile before heading for the door. Neji nodded toward Naruto and followed Hinata inside. Naruto jumped onto the roof and headed for the hot springs.

'Man I hope Ero-sennin has those reservations he promised. I got a lot riding on tonight.' He thought to himself as he searched for his Godfather.

Whoooo, that was an alright chapter. Just establishing everyone's relationships and all. Naruto and Hinata are just so sweet together. Ino and Jammer are just funny. And I think I'll even have Hanabi play a part in this one. Oh, and just so you know, the reason they're having her carve the hitai-ates is cus she has amazing chakra control. I'll go into detail next chapter. Also in the next chapter, hilarity will ensue at the restaurant, Jammer and Kiba go through the bingo book, and we find out what Pein's planning. And I got an awesome idea for a new Akatsuki member. It's gonna be an original character sooooo it's gonna be ballin. To the people that are joining the story now cus they just read Tattletale in the last few days I must thank you for giving it a chance. Now sit back, relax, and let me go to work for you. Haha, if you guys have any questions or just wanna praise my genius then drop a comment. I usually reply to them. Hmmmm I think that's it. Til next time peoples. R&R or R now and R later. (Some people won't read a story unless it has lots of reviews. THEIR LOSS!) lol peace!
