Chapter 4

Ino throw off her apron across the counter having a large grin on her face. She sat down on the stool resting her chin in her palms.

"So, tell me how you got someone like Hinata, to want to go out on a date with someone like you?"

Naruto looked at her taken back by what she said. He turned dark red forcing a smile on his face as his palms grew sweaty.

"A-a date? We're not going on a date Ino. I told you she bought me some dinner and I thought it would be a great idea to take her out for some fun tomorrow. The thing is that I don't know what kind of things she'd like to do. I feel really bad that I kinda don't know anything about her."

Ino stared at him completely in shock. Her hands lightly smacked the counter thinking of any advice to give him. She raised her hand up curling her finger to call him closer. He walked towards her still having his cheeks flushed. He leaned on the counter as a shiver ran through his body from the cold marble.

"I want you to try your best to make her happy. She's so sweet to all of us. Let me just think of what you could do for tomorrow without blowing the little bit of money I know you don't have."

He looked down at the ground feeling even worse than he did earlier. He knew he didn't have a lot of lavish money to throw away like the Huga family did.

"I know that I don't have a lot of money but I'll just take a little bit out of my saving to make an awesome day for her."

Ino tapped her chin lightly thinking of what they could possibly do on his budget. The thoughts floated into her mind of everything she saw Hinata smile at and enjoy. She moved her hands away from her face. Just as she was going to speak, her father walked in from the back room of the shop. He looked up seeing a Naruto standing close to his little girl with pink still around his ears and cheeks.

Mr. Yamanaka looked at the two slightly confused. He looked at them walking closer as he studied Naruto's face.

"Sweetie did you put in the order for the new ribbons your mother wanted?"

Ino nodded straightening her self up. Naruto backed away from the counter feeling kinda embarrassed.

"Young Uzumaki, what are you doing here so late? Did you want to buy some flowers for someone special?"

Ino walked passed Naruto grabbing her father's arm, taking him to the other side of the shop. She lightly punched his arm glancing backed at the blond as she leaned in to whisper to him.

"Dad I'm trying to help him plan out a date for him and Hinata. She's been craving for the day that he would even consider taking a day to hang out. Please dad, stay out of it while I think of something that they can do together."

He glanced back seeing him playing with the zipper on his jacket to keep himself calm.

"You're telling me that he wants to plan out a date for himself and Lady Huga? Don't worry sweetheart I know just what to say."

He moved away from his daughter with a grin plastered onto his face.

"Well Naruto if you want to impress a young lady with a date; you need to take her out a nice dinner. It's even better if you can cook the food yourself. You also need some lovely flowers as a center piece. You want to dress up to make sure she knows you think of her as someone worth all of your effort."

He walked to him placing his arm around his shoulder. He looking down at him pointing his thumb to himself smiling.

"As a great lady's man myself, I can give you plenty of advice on how to impress women."

Ino grabbed her father by his arm dragging him away. Mr. Yamanaka looked at Naruto as he went passed the back door with force. She slammed the door shut pressing her back to it.

"I'm so sorry. He still thinks he's young and cool enough to help you. Okay back on topic; I think you should do something that would easy on your tiny wallet."

Naruto frowned stuffing his hands into his pockets feeling his slim wallet knowing the short amount of money from the lack of missions. Ino rubbed her temple thinking of every possible thing that she has seen Hinata enjoy. Her eyes widened running towards him.

"I got it! Hinata would hate to have you spend any money on her. How about you go pick her up and take her to the market. You could buy some cheap food and take her on a picnic."

He looked at her blankly as the images passed through his mind of them shopping together. A huge smile broke across his face.

"You're right Ino! She would love to just hang out that way. Plus it won't get to expensive off of my end. If there's any left overs I can take them home and eat later. Oh this is gonna be a good day."

He picked her off the ground hugging her tightly. She gasped slowly hugging him back.

"It's no problem. Just remember to focus on her and make her feel like the center of attention. She doesn't really get that kind of attention except from her squad and sensei."

He nodded putting her down. He waved goodbye leaving the shop as Mr. Yamanaka poked his head from the back door.

"To think my little princess is a match maker. Do you think you could use your magic touch to grab a young Shinobi of your own?"

She slowly turned her head cracking her knuckles.

"Don't think I won't try and face you old man. I'm trying to get a friend a date with the guy she wants the most. I'm not gonna ruin it for her. Now let's the order set up before mom finds out you forgot to do it yesterday."
