Falsh back

Naruto woke up to the sounds of leaves swaying in the wind and the sun beating down on his face. Naruto eyes peered opened and looked around with his blurry vision to make out the fuzz surrounding of green everywhere he looked. As his vision cleared he made out branches and the ocean of leaves that gave Konohagakure its name. Looking down he was at least fifteen feet in the air setting uprate. His clothes were ripped and torn in veering places but that was normal for the blond thanks to his training. (Tailors make a lot of money off of Naruto.)

'How did I get up here?' Thought the confused blond. 'Hmm I remember leaving the academy and…oh that's right I remember now.'

-Flash back-

Naruto just left the academy after team announcements and was on his way to get ramen for lunch as is his custom. Naruto for all his skills didn't notice the slowly growing crowd in the dark shadowing their faces.

"There his is on his way to get ramen again." Said one of the shadowy figures in a hushed whisper that couldn't be heard expect by the group.

Another's eye gleamed. "Let's get him as he eats his ramen. He'll let his guard down then and we'll be able to get him." The other nodded and slowly they disappeared into the shadows.

As Naruto walked a cold chill ran down his spine. Shaking it off Naruto continued to fallow his stomach to Ichiraku's ramen. After getting to Ichiraku's Naruto quickly inhaled eight bowls of ramen when a small army of kunoichi appear around corners and roof top and the middle of the street. Naruto's danger since kicked in as the female's lust poured from their teenage bodies. Turning over so slowly Naruto eyes landed apron the army of hormone driving fan-girls.

Swallowing the lump in his throat Naruto started to sweat profusely. 'What did I do now?' The kunoichis eye's shadow over as an evil smile spread across any of their faces. 'Oh god what the hell did I do now!' Naruto tensed as he sweated bullets at this point. So Naruto did the only thing a guy fearing for his life from women could do. He ran as fast as he could.

"NARUTO-KUN COME BACK HERE AND GIVE ME YOUR CHILD!" One of the fan-girl screamed as she ran after the blond with the others hot on her heel saying similar things. And they were closing in fast.

"GOD WHY DID I CHOOSE TODAY OF ALL DAYS TO INCREASE MY WEIGHTS!" Naruto yelled at the top of his lungs hoping to get an answer from some deity only to get the excited squeals from his fan-club.

"Oh gods Naruto-kun so strong to out run us with new weights. PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR CHILD FOXY-KUN!" one of the girls looked confused as she asked. "How would a few weights change anything?" the older members (note age as in how long they been fan-girls not their real age.) got a smug look on their faces. "Well as long as we have known Foxy-kun he never did the easy way of anything and often puts another 100 pounds every time his increases his weights."

After a few seconds it clicked inside the minds of the younger members. "GIVE ME TWO HOURS NARUTO! JUST TWO HOURS IN BED WITH YOU!" they ran after him with new found energy.

'This is getting ridicules!' Naruto shouted in his mind. 'I have to lose them somehow.'

It was then Naruto saw his exit as he was quickly coming on an alleyway. Naruto made a sharp turn into it but he knew it was a dead end. Without stopping he jump on to the wall to his left and spring boarded onto a fire escape on the opposite side with a graceful flip. This left many fan-girls crying out his name at how cool he was, and Naruto drank it all in loving the attain he received from the female population.

"I thank you ladies for your affection but I have to go now." Naruto said with a bow and a shit-eating grin. With a strong leap Naruto landed on the roof top and took off as fast as he could. He could hear the cries of the girl and almost felt bad…almost. But it wasn't to last as they caught back up to the blond hero in a horde off hormonal teenage girls. "Why does this keep happening to me?" By now his cloths had many rips from the girls trying to pin Naruto down. It was kind of scary to Naruto as he thought about how good they would be as ninja if they applied their skills to their training.

"Because we love you Naruto-kun!" was the response from his stack…er I mean his fans.

"Please go train! I don't want any of you to get hurt because you went after me by putting off your training!" He screamed hopping it would stop them from casing him. Too bad it had the opposite effect by driving the girl's even wilder saying how "Their Naruto-kun cared for them". It wasn't wrong he did care what happened to them just not the way they thought he did.

After three hours Naruto finally lost them in the forests of Konohagakure as he hid in a tree far above their heads. Naruto liked two things about fan-girls. One he loved the attain they throw at him; Naruto would always be nice to them with a wave, a smile and occasional good morning. Maybe that was one of the reason they liked him over the icy Sasuke who never said anything and glared at most people. The second reason was they help with his escaping skills and his physical endurance from running away from them so they didn't rap him and he in turn became a father of twenty or so children.

-Flashback end-

The search for the blond Uchiha lasted until dusk as the fan-girls looked for said blond and he fell asleep in the leafy haven. Now Naruto had to change and go out get a mission or several. After a long and shadow (Avoid the fan girls!) filled walk home. A quick shower and breakfast Naruto was off to his first official mission.

-20 mins later.-

Naruto arrived at a tall red building with a large wall going around it. It was around three stories in height and had a symbol meaning fire in black in a red circle in the front. On the roof was six, 20 feet high white pillars that circle around the roof which was the same shape as the whole tower. The new genin walked right into the tower and strait into the mission hall. It as a fairly large room that was able to hold the large tables and many chairs in side of it. To Naruto's great surprise there sat in the middle was his grandfather figure wearing the Hokage robes and hat. Quickly walking up to the desk Naruto waved at the aged Hokage.

"Hay Oji-san how are you!? You ready to hand over that hat yet?" Naruto yelled with his foxy smile shocking all but the Third in the room.

"More then you know, as soon as I find someone capable I'll throw it at them." The old kage said poking at Naruto.

"Hay someone has to be prepared to take over when you finally kick the bucket you old monkey!" Naruto said with a victory smirk.

"Hmm that may be true but the people well want to be able to see their leader and you don't fit the height requirement." He said as the man filled his Tabaco pipe.

"Sure but people want to be able to talk to their Hokage without him turning up his hearing-aid."

"Oh ho to shay Naruto-kun, ok you win this round but the next one well be harder I unsure you." Sarutobi lit his pipe as he went back to shuffling papers seemly ignoring the god-smacked expression on their faces. "So what can I do for you today Naruto-kun?"

"Well I'm looking for missions but I know as a genin I have to do a number of D-rank missions be for I move onto higher ones. I'm question is how many?"

"Naruto! You not only do you charge in here but you openly mock the Hokage! YOUR HOKAGE! And then you have the nerve to ask for a mission?" Iruka asked.

"Yep that's pretty much it." Naruto dead-pen causing all but two occupants of the room to face fault. "So about the missions Oji-san?"

"You need at least 25 D-rank missions then improvement from your squad leader in order to get one C-rank." He said as he took a puff. "So how many well you be taking today Naruto-kun?"

"How many do you have available today?"

"127"

"How many do your genin teams finishes in a day?"

"Around 49 mission per-day including low chunin." The Hokage said.

"I'll take 75 right now and have them in by the end of the day."

"Ok here you go Naruto." The aged Hokage said as he handed over a basket full of missions.

"See you soon Oji-san" Naruto said as he ran down stairs.

-In front of the tower-

Naruto sat in front of the tower and looked over the scrolls to sort them into groups. When Naruto finished he stood up and crossed his fingers for his favorite jutsu. "Massive Shadow Clone Jutsu!" teams of three clones puffed out nothing and looked at their creator. "Ok each teams well take one scroll and finish by 7:00pm and return here with the mission report and I want each one to be a success got it!" As one the army of blond shinobi pushes their feet together and saluted shouting "SIR YES SIR!" before doing their appointed task. "Ok 222 clone for 74 missions was a little harder than I thought it was going to be. But I got my own mission to do." With that Naruto took off. (Naruto doesn't use such large numbers as often.)

-The Yamanaka Flower Shop-

Ino sat behind the counter of her flower shop in deep thought. Today she had her first team meeting only to find out that she was even a real ninja yet. Hearing the door bells chime she pushed her personal problems aside.

"Hello welcome to the Yamanaka family flower shop how may I help you." Ino said with her eyes closed and a cute smile across her face.

"Yes I'm here for a mission assigned to me."

Ino opened her eyes at the sound of her ex. Class mate and fallow blond. "Naruto?" she walked out from around the counter. "You came for a mission?"

"Yep I have the scroll right here." He said handing Ino the scroll.

"Ok I guess I'll lead you to my mother as she's the one who put in the request." Naruto simply nodded and fallowed Ino into the garden. "So we haven't talked much during the academy, I'm sorry about that it's not like I didn't want to…"

"It's ok Ino we were both busy with your own lives. It's not like we were best friends we knew each other for a day before I started." Naruto said with a soft caring smile that made Ino blush and turn her head away.

"Ino who's your friend?" said Ino's mother as she stood up from her flower bed.

"This is Naruto mom and his here for the mission you put in."

"That's right Miss Yamanaka here's the scroll as proof." Naruto stated as he handed the scroll over.

Giving a quick check over the blonde woman nodded. "Ok that's great news as you came at the perfect time. I need flowers delivered today at this address" she said as she handed him a slip of paper. "It was meant for two days from now but it got pushed up too today."

"You got it, I'll have it done before you know it." He said with a goofy but chirming grin.

"The flowers are in these six boxes." Ino's mother said as she pointed to the wooden boxes on the other side of the garden.

Two shadow clones puffed into existence without Naruto making a move or saying anything. With one hand picked up two of the large boxes and applied chakra to keep them from slipping. "Be back in a few seconds please fill out the form Miss Yamanka." With that he left with his clones close behind.

"So Ino was that the boy who saved you all so long ago from the rapists?" The blonde hair mother asked.

Tilting her head to one side Ino look confused at her mother. "Yeah that was him why?"

All of a sudden Ino's mother smile curled up ward with a gleam in her eye. It was making Ino VERY nerves. "You never invited him over for dinner like I asked."

Ino started to sweat profusely. "Umm, I forgot too."

"Well then I gauss I'll just do it myself." She said as she walked into the house to tell her husband about their appended dinner guest.

'Wonder what that face was about?'

-10 mins later-

Naruto returned to find Ino and her parents out front of their shop waiting for him. Ino look passive and her mother was smiling softly, but Ino's father looked a little mad or maybe wary of him.

"Mission is complete with in time limit and too the letter." Naruto said in a very business-like manner.

"Very good here's the form and thank you for help." The Yamanaka matriarch said as she handed over the form. "We like to invite you to dinner with us tonight."

"Oh thank you but I have to hand in my mission reports."

"That shouldn't take more than a few seconds."

"I have done a lot of missions today it take me awhile to do them all."

"Then that's all the more reason to eat dinner with us. You'll be hungry from all of your hard work." She tries to persuade.

"Then I guess I have to if you insist."

"Perfect! When do you think you'll be done?" She asked as she clapped her hands together.

"An hour or so I would think." Naruto said with a smile.

"See you then Naruto." Ino chirped with a small wave.

"Yeah see you then!" Naruto exclaimed as he walked away.

-7:00 outside of the Hokage tower-

All of the clones and Naruto appeared at the same time at the very second it hit. Then in an orderly fashion the clones handed in the forms one at a time until all 75 forms were in his hands.

"Good work I expected nothing less from… well me." He declared with a smug smirk.

"That's because were the best believe it!" a clone said with a thump up.

"Dame Right we are!" another said.

"True, very true." Another said with a nod.

"Ok this is getting weird." Naruto said as all the clones went up in smoke.

Walking into the mission hall Naruto entered with swagger and right up to Iruka as the Hokage had other business to take care of. "Too many mission at once Naruto?" He asked with a small smile thinking Naruto was here to turn in the ones he couldn't get to.

"No I'm here to turn in the entire set of completed missions." He said making every person other than him a god-smacked looked for the second time that day.

Looking over the list Iruka saw each one as signed with happy responses. "Well ok then Naruto if you would please wait so we can tally the total of your missions." Naruto just nodded and found a chair and sat down.

-45 mins later-

"Ok Naruto take this to the clerk outside and she'll transfer your pay to your account." Iruka said with a proud smile. "Hay maybe you could treat me to ramen this time hum."

"I love to sansei but I can't tonight maybe tomorrow."

"Sure and then you can tell me how you manage to do all of those missions at once."

"Sounds like a plane. How about launch at noon." Getting a nod from his brother figure Naruto walks out of the room.

"How long do you think it well be until he finds out how much his getting paid Iruka?" A random man asked.

Iruka held up three fingers slowly pulled one and going from three…Two…One.

"HOLY HELL, THAT'S A LOT OF ZEROS!" He yelled right on time.

Every in the hall started laughing their asses off at the blond ninja.

-25 mins later-

After putting on new cloths Naruto headed to the Yamanka flower shop/home for the dinner he agreed to. He still could figure out why he said yes but it was too late to say no now. Knocking on the door Naruto stood in a simply black shirt and pants. He sat there playing with one of his bangs until the door opened to show the blonde matriarch in the same outfit as earlier.

"Welcome Naruto how are you?" said the beautiful woman.

"Thank you for inviting me, and I'm doing well." he said in a happy tone and his smile proved it.

Stepping aside to allow the young man inside she asked. "Why do you feel about pot roast?"

"I like it." He said as she closed the door and started to walk to the kitchen with him close behind.

"Oh that's good I was worried that you wouldn't like it." She said with a sigh of relief.

Naruto simply smiled. "You don't have to worry about me I'm just happy to not have to cook."

"Oh you cook?" Ino asked as her mother and Naruto walked into the room. Ino's father looked right at Naruto and eyed him closely as his served dinner his wife made. The look said 'Do anything to my daughter and I'll hurt you.'

"A little, to be honest I'm not the best but I'm not the worst either."

"Well your mother must be proud, you can cook, you're a polite young man, and a strong ninja to be on your own." Said the mother of Ino as she sat down.

"I hope so but I wouldn't know."

"What do you mean Naruto?" Ino asked with a raised eyebrow.

"My parents died the day I was born. I don't even have a clue as to who they were or if they loved me. I was on my own until my eighth birthday when my adoptive father found me." Naruto said with a small sad smile. That made every one look a little sad at the blond.

"I'm sorry I didn't-" Ino started to say but was interrupted by Naruto.

"It's ok you didn't know." Naruto offered a kind smile. "Come on let's eat!" Naruto cheerfully dug in but at dignified pace. Everyone smiled at his upbeat attitude.

"Yes let's eat we don't want this food to go to waste now do we?" the older blond man said as his started eat. Over dinner the four shared stories, some about missions, some about friends or their child hood. (Not Naruto.) But to Ino's horror her mother told every story she could about Ino that should not be told to a boy. Overall Naruto had a lovely dinner with them.

"Man that was a good dinner thank you for the meal." Naruto said as he headed to the door with the family of blonds close behind.

"You're welcome please come again sometime we would love to have you over." The blond father said shocking the two females there.

"Well do thanks again. Good night." Naruto said as he disappeared into the night with the family say good night back.

"I'm surprise honey I never thought you would say that to any male around Ino's age at any point."

"Hay dad are you ok?"

"What the boy grows on you." The man said in his defense making two women smile at him.

-With Naruto-

Naruto smiled a big toothy grin. He was scared that they would reject him like so many people of the village had done before. He was glad that they didn't. He was also happy that he learned more about Ino and her family. Who knew she used to wet her bed until she was 7 years old. Those stories made him laugh and laugh even harder when Ino exploded at her mother, and that wasn't even the worst of the stories.

"Well I'll get my first C-rank mission as a ninja of Konohagakure tomorrow. It should be fun!"
