Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or The Gamer (Manhwa)

Naruto spent the rest of morning and into the early afternoon just making explosive tags. The slot in his hip pouch allowed him to hold up to fifty so he made damned sure he had fifty on him, those tags would have come in extremely handy against Jorogumo and he'd be damned if he was ever caught without them again. He'd even gained a couple levels in [Fuinjutsu] for his troubles.

Anyway, with that work done it was time to seek out his friends Shikamaru and Chouji, he had some training to do and they were going to help.

Naruto actually had to search for Shikamaru for a change, he was neither at home or any of his favorite cloud watching spots. So it was much to Naruto's surprise to find him at the KSA obstacle course with Chouji.

"Yo, I've been looking all over for you guys," shouted Naruto, running to join his compatriots.

"Yeah, well, I had some time to think after passing the test yesterday," started Shikamaru. "My techniques are great for support, always have been. The problem is I'm usually a sitting duck until I can catch someone. I decided that I'm going to focus on my dexterity for a while, see how it goes."

"Wow, you're not being lazy," said Naruto in surprise. "What about you Chouji?"

"Well, Shikamaru came to me this morning and talked to me about what I'll probably be doing on any team I join. If he's right and him, Ino and I end up on a team together that means I'm going to have to be the one taking most of the hits to protect them while they use their jutsu. So I need to get tougher and stronger. He's had me running laps all morning and when my legs get tired he has me doing push-ups and sit-ups. I'm so hungry now, I think I might be starving to death already," explained the obviously exhausted young man.

"Wow again. That's awesome guys," said Naruto.

"What about you? Where have you been all day?" asked Shikamaru. "I thought you would have been here early this morning.

"Well, some stuff happened last night and I had to go see the old man this morning after I took my registration picture."

"Did you tell him?" asked Shikamaru, earning a curious look from Chouji.

"Yeah, I did, kind of had to after last night."

"How'd he take it?"

"Take what?" asked Chouji, finally having enough. "What are you guys talking about? I know there's some big secret between you guys but it's really not cool to talk around it like that in front of me."

"You're right, Chouji, sorry," said Shikamaru.

"You're right," Naruto mimicked. "I have I guess a bunch of secrets, some of them I learned last night but there is one I told Shikamaru about a while ago and he's been helping me figure it out. And you're my friend too so I guess I should tell you about it too but it's pretty unbelievable."

"Really?" asked Shikamaru and Chouji at the same time but for entirely different reasons.

"Really," said Naruto. He then proceeded to lay it for Chouji, the whole gamer thing and everything that went along with it.

"Wow," said Chouji when he finished. "I mean wow. Is this all true?"

"Near as I can tell," said Shikamaru.

"So is it a bloodline or something?" asked Chouji.

"Something else, I told the Hokage about it last night and he said it's definitely not an Uzumaki bloodline trait. He's never heard of anything like it before."

"So does that mean you can create a gaming party and stuff?" asked Chouji.

Naruto was surprised by the question. "I . . . I have no idea."

"Troublesome, Naruto, your ability is totally troublesome," groused Shikamaru. "Why don't you give it a try?"

"Party?" asked Naruto aloud but nothing happened. "Form Party? Create Party?"

"Try Team," suggested Chouji.

"Team? Form Team . . ."

You have formed a 'Team'.

"Hey, that worked," said Naruto. "Invite Akimichi Chouji."

"Whoa, that is weird," gasped Chouji.

Naruto grinned. "Invite Nara Shikamaru."

"Troublesome," said Shikamaru, moving his hand to tap the 'Accept Invite' button hovering in the air above him.

Chouji seeing Shikamaru move did the same and tapped the 'Accept Invite' with his hand.

"So what do you guys see?" asked Naruto, eager for some feedback.

"Uzumaki Naruto," read Chouji, squinting his eyes at the air above Naruto's head. "The Gamer. Lv 15."

"Yes, it works, try saying status," encouraged Naruto.

"Status," said Chouji, not sure what he'd get. The large orange window popping up in front of his face was not what he expected.

Meanwhile, Shikamaru seemed to be wordlessly flying through the various information pages, something he'd seen Naruto do several times but at least now he knew what to expect.

"This is so cool," whispered Chouji.

"This is troublesome," said Shikamaru, but a small grin made its way onto his face anyway.

Naruto couldn't help laughing like a loon, he was so excited about the whole thing. Finally his friends could see what he was living with.

"So, Naruto," began Shikamaru. "Level 15 huh? When did that happen? Because I swear you told me you were at level 12 going into the test yesterday."

"Oh man, you would not believe the shit that went down last night," said Naruto, only too excited to tell the guys everything he'd learned minus a few key details such as him being . . . containing the Kyuubi.

Almost an hour later Naruto finished relaying his story to his friends including his conversation with the old man minus the Jinchuuriki details as he'd planned to take that secret to his grave.

"So Mizuki-sensei was a traitor?" asked Chouji for probably the tenth time since he'd found out.

"Yep," said Naruto.

"There is one thing I don't get, you seemed to have glossed over a lot of details, like why Mizuki chose you for it, and the conversation between Iruka and Mizuki and why your status shows some updates?"

Naruto blanched. "I didn't really want to talk about that."

"Well, no point hiding now," said Shikamaru. "Besides you're our friend."

"I hope you still feel that way after I tell you what that's all about." Naruto took a deep breath and began explaining about his mother and the Uzumaki and the details of a Jinchuuriki.

"Wow," said Chouji. "That fucking blows."

"Tell me about it," groused Naruto. "But you guys are okay right? You're still my friends?"

"Moron, of course we are," said Shikamaru. "This just makes you a bit more troublesome. And it explains why you have so many hated reputations in the village."

"Yeah, that was a hard one to accept. I guess a lot of them see me as the Kyuubi and not the one keeping it prisoner," replied Naruto, a bit morosely.

"Well, now what?" asked Chouji.

"I want to check out that training field," said Shikamaru. "Let's see what happens if we go back there."

"I was hoping you guys would want to go check it out," said Naruto, his happy, eager personality back to normal with just those few words.

"Could be fun," said Chouji, shrugging.

"Oh, but before we go, have either of you guys got some explosive tags?"

"I've got ten tags on me," said Chouji.

"I don't really carry them on me, why?" asked Shikamaru.

Naruto quickly opened his inventory and took twenty five of his out and handed them to Shikamaru. "If that field . . . dungeon . . . whatever has reset then you'll want them. I was lucky as hell to get out of there alive yesterday."

"I think I'm having second thoughts," said Chouji, hearing Naruto's near death experience with the whole mess.

"Hey, I was able to solo it yesterday. With three of us it should be a walk in the park," said Naruto, trying assuage his friend's fears.

"Come on, Chouji, we can always just leave," offered Shikamaru, actually trying to encourage his friend to go along.

"Alright, but if I die, I swear I will haunt you both."

"That settles it, Chouji lives at all costs. I don't like ghosts," said Naruto, getting the other two to laugh happily. "It's not funny, I'm being serious."

Naruto led the group to Training Ground 13 easily enough and even got the warning when he entered but with one minor difference.

Training Field 13 – A heavily forested area populated with a large number of chakra spiders. Recommended Level: 12. 56:12:41:95

The timer was new and counting down.

"Ah, I think it's got a reset timer on. It won't be up again for a few days."

"I can see the warning, Naruto," said Shikamaru with a sigh.

"What about going to training field 11 or 12 then. They aren't too far from here?" asked Chouji.

"I'm game," said Shikamaru.

"Sure, lead the way, Chouji," said Naruto.

Not much later they entered an open field with a few scattered trees and bushes.

Training Field 11 – An open field with sparsely populated trees and shrubbery but plenty of tall grass obscuring a great deal of chakra rodents. Recommended Level: 10.

"Okay, did you all see that warning too?"

"Yeah, so probably going to have chakra rats, maybe some rabbit and squirrels," said Shikamaru.

"I hate chakra squirrels," said Chouji. "Those nuts they throw hurt like hell. Occasionally some of those little bastards get into my Uncle's almond farm and have to be cleared out. It's not fun."

"Let's just see what we get," said Naruto, just as he felt something bite down hard on the back of his ankle. "Ow, you little fucker," howled Naruto, quickly pulling a kunai and driving it down into the head of the rat that just bit him. "Why do they always go for the freaking ankles like that?"

"Hey, it says I got Exp for that," said Chouji, his finger following blue letters as the float up and disappeared.

Meanwhile, Naruto had killed four more of the rats before they could sneak up on him or the others again. "Don't just stand there you dopes, get to killing these punks."

And so the slaughter began, rat after rat perished as the came one after the other. Then came rat kings, then queens. They came and didn't stop coming, wave after wave of rat before it suddenly calmed.

"Okay, this is usually where the boss shows up," said Naruto, taking up a defensive stance.

Chouji and Shikamaru mimicked Naruto taking up defensive stances near him.

It started as just a light tremor shaking the ground then quickly grew until it was difficult to keep their feet under them. Finally about ten meters ahead of them the ground burst open and a giant rat appear. It was far and away the ugliest rat Naruto had ever seen. It had horrible growths all over its body, patches of skill that were torn away to show flesh and bone. And the stink from it was absolutely awful.

Chakra Rat Abomination Lvl 13

HP: 1200/1200 CP: 500/500

The rare abomination, a chakra mutated creature so far gone it has taken to eating its own kind. They are often drawn out when their food source is threatened.

"Is that normal?" asked Chouji.

"For my life, yes it is," said Naruto. "You guys ready?"

"Not really but let's kill it anyway," said Shikamaru.

"Tell me what to do, Shikamaru," said Chouji.

"I'll try to hold it still for a minute, you two do as much damage as you can," said Shikamaru, already his shadow stretching across the ground toward the big ugly beast.

Naruto grinned, pulling out his recently made stack of explosive tags. [Chakra Sprint] activated he move forward rapidly and began sticking tag after tag on the beast's body while Chouji was preparing his own jutsu.

"Baika no Jutsu," called Chouji, his body suddenly ballooning. Then he called out, "Nikudan Sensha," and started to spin rapidly with kunai draped around him making him look like a hedgehog on a steroids.

Naruto jumped clear and Chouji suddenly took off toward the rat. Just as Chouji got to it the shadow holding it vanished allowing Chouji to hit it full power to the face and shoulder, grinding into the beast tearing away flesh, fur and blood alike. Eventually the rat fell over and Chouji rolled over it coming to stop just meters away.

Naruto used the opportunity of the rat being down to activate the explosive tags. "Katsu!"

The series of explosions that followed was fairly impressive, especially when one had a critical detonation blowing the head of the rat clean off and showering the field with paste.

"That was awesome!" crowed Naruto excitedly.

"That was overkill," said Shikamaru.

[Teamwork]'s level has increase by 1.

[Teamwork]'s level has increase by 1.

Your teammate Nara Shikamaru's level has increased by 1.

Your teammate Akimichi Chouji's level has increased by 1.

"Congrats on the levels guys," said Naruto, happy for his friends. He turned his focus on the decomposing body to see what kind of loot might drop on this guy.

1500 Ryo

That was it? That was the whole drop from the rat. Naruto groaned in annoyance and split the money equally taking his 500 then handing Chouji and Shikamaru each their 500.

"What's this?" asked Chouji.

"The loot," answered Naruto.

"These things give loot? Money?" asked Chouji, wide eyed with surprise.

"Yeah, not sure why but I'm not going to question it. Money is money."

"Thanks," said Chouji before looking to see Shikamaru staring hard at something in the air in front of him. "Hey, Shika, what are you looking at?"

"I'm debating what to spend my stat points on," said Shikamaru.

"Stat points? You mean we can spend them ourselves?"

"So it seems," said Shikamaru. "I doubt we'd be able to do the same if we weren't teamed with Naruto.

Chouji quickly opened his own status page.

"Chouji, you should increase your DEX, try to even your stats out a bit," suggested Shikamaru.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm also trying to increase my DEX, make myself a bit more mobile in combat. I need more VIT and INT but I can get that through training, so can you by the way. Especially if we do it while in a group like this cause then Naruto's game experience applies to us and our stats too. We can both pick up around fourteen points in almost everything."

"Really? That's kind of cool," said Chouji, following Shikamaru's advice and upping his DEX.

"So, do you want to try a different training field, this one was kind of crappy."

"It might have been crappy but it was a good learning experience for me and Chouji," said Shikamaru. "It got us some good exposure to what we can expect if we team up with you in the future to clear more of these. I think we should probably train more, get me and Chouji to our level stat cap and then go from there. You need some too don't you? You did gain three levels yesterday right?"

"I'm good for whatever," said Naruto, grinning. "One gives me more levels which makes me stronger, the other gives me more stats which also makes me stronger. It's win-win."

"Right then, let's get back to the KSA training field," said Shikamaru, leading the group away.

You have slept in your bed. HP & CP are fully stored.

Naruto, Shikamaru, and Chouji all trained together every day that week leading up to the team assignments. It was the KSA training field daily from start to finish and working heavily on their skills while resting physically.

Naruto had actually capped a few skills again.

[Chakra Sprint (Active) LvMax CP 20]

Using chakra to reinforce your leg muscles to grant you a quick burst of speed.

Additional +40 to run speed when Active.

[Trap (Passive) LvMax]

Traps are an essential skill to any shinobi. They are used to surprise and confuse enemies and friends alike depending on the situation. They can be used both for fun and for slaughter equally well.

Passively increases Trap effectiveness 20%

Passively increases Trap damage 20%

Passively increases Trap placement 20%

Sadly, Naruto didn't find himself working much on the two kinjutsu he learn despite being really excited to work on them. He just didn't have time with all the training he was doing with his friends. Sadly they didn't run any more training grounds either much to Naruto's irritation. Really, both of them left Naruto feeling a bit miffed. He'd hit his cap in just two days but stuck it out longer with them to get their points instead of clearing training fields for experience and levels.

The biggest change though was the changes to Shikamaru's status 'Lazy Genius'. It changed to now read as simply 'Genius', taking away the -1 to DEX, STR, VIT and doubling his WIS gain per level. As if that wasn't enough it all gave him +25% experience gain to all skills. It really kind of pissed Naruto off a bit.

Chouji had worked hard and was shocked by how much he improved in just one week while teamed up with Naruto. It shouldn't have been physically possible but there it was. He was stronger, faster, and more skilled than he had been at the start of the week.

On the positive side, Naruto did get into the library and checked out a few books on elemental chakra so he could attempt to learn the answer to the old man's questions. However, while he was there he'd found several fuinjutsu formulas that he could learn. He did find a bit of cheat in that regard. He discovered that if he took his time to read the book he would learn the skill and not destroy the book itself but apparently that only worked with formulas, like for [Cooking] and [Fuinjutsu]. Yeah, it slowed things down but it worked just fine. He'd also taken the time to place the various 'Fuin' on his gear to improve them which was actually pretty cool

Still, he was now ready for team assignments, at least as ready as he could be all things considered.

So here he was, checking various classmates level notices above their heads, most of which had gotten stronger, even in just the week since graduation. Naruto was a little disappointed to see Sakura hadn't level up at all, in probably over a month. Naturally Sasuke was a lot stronger, which honestly pissed him off even more. Still, other than Sasuke, Naruto was tied for highest level in class with Shino.

Iruka came into class, he still had some bandages from his injuries the week before but looked considerably better than the last time Naruto had seen him.

"Congratulations to all of you for making it to this point. After today, you will all begin your first real steps into life as a shinobi for Konoha. I expect all of you to serve with pride and honor. Trust your comrades, protect them and let them protect you equally. Today, all of you will be placed into three man teams with a jounin sensei. Please listen closely for your name and the names of your teammates."

Naruto listened as Iruka assigned the various teams. So far it was all the student below level 9 getting assigned together which Naruto thought was a bit odd. Then his name was called.

"Team 7, Uzumaki Naruto, Haruno Sakura, and Uchiha Sasuke," he called out.

Naruto's head hit his desk with a loud thump. Sakura borderline hated him despite his best efforts to befriend her. Sasuke tolerated him but was a prick. It was not cool.

"Team 8, Hyuuga Hinata, Aburame Shino, and Inuzuka Kiba," called Iruka.

Now that caught Naruto's attention. Three member of popular clans in the same team but more importantly, all of them were above level 9. Team 9 ended up with three students below level 9 again and then he called Team 10.

"Team 10, Nara Shikamaru, Akimichi Chouji, and Yamanaka Ino."

That settled it in Naruto's mind. These teams were fixed for some reason. It was clear to Naruto that three of these teams heavily overpowered the other seven teams. But why and did Shikamaru see the same thing he just did.

If he did, Naruto didn't have a chance to ask when a large bear of a man entered the class room.

"Team 10, you're with me," he ordered, somehow balancing an unlit cigarette at the corner of his mouth when he spoke.

Shikamaru groused as usual but followed Chouji and Ino out of the room to follow their teacher.

The sensei for Team 1, 4, and 9 came next taking their students.

"Team 8, please come with me," said another jounin, this one a beautiful woman with exotic red eyes.

Naruto watched as all of the other students were claimed by their various teachers until only himself, Sasuke, and Sakura remained along with Iruka who was busy cleaning up his desk.

"Oh, Naruto, before I forget. The Hokage wants to see you after you meet your new sensei," said Iruka, putting away the last of his papers and standing to leave.

"Okay Iruka-sensei," said Naruto. "Thanks."

"No problem, see you all around," he said finally leaving.

"Why is our sensei so late?" complained Sakura.

Naruto shrugged. "Maybe he's coming from a mission or something," he suggested.

"I wasn't asking you, Naruto," snapped Sakura.

Naruto felt a bit deflated. "You don't have to be so mean to me. We're a team now which means we have to work together and get along," he said, pouting the whole time.

"Just don't get in my way," said Sasuke coldly.

"Yeah, don't get in our way," echoed Sakura.

"That goes especially for you," said Sasuke, glaring at Sakura. "You're even weaker than he is."

"Dude, not cool," said Naruto. "I get you're a badass but you don't have to be an ass too."

"Hn," grunted Sasuke, turning away from them to look out the window.

Naruto decided now would be a good time to use [Observe] on his teammates.

Haruno Sakura is the smartest student in class. Though very intelligent she is not very physically gifted. She pines after Uchiha Sasuke and is bitter rivals with Yamanaka Ino for 'Sasuke-kun's affections.

No matter how much he wishes he could deny it, Sasuke is strong, really strong, stronger than Tenten who easily kicked his ass all those months ago. On the flipside of that was Sakura who no matter how much he wishes he could deny it, she was weak, really weak. She clearly didn't take training very seriously. And that damned 'Fangirl' status was going to be the biggest detriment to her getting any better. But that brought up a whole new question. How the hell could he cure her of it? Could he even cure her of it?

Naruto let all that go for the moment, his sensei should be arriving any minute now. However, when 'any minute now' turned into another hour all bets were off.

"That's it, this guy is getting pranked," said Naruto loudly, his boiling point finally reached. "Sakura, have you got any glitter?"

"What? Why would have any glitter? What kind of question is that?" She demanded, clearly acting affronted.

"I'll take that as a yes, can I have some of it?" he requested, holding a hand out to her.

Sakura frowned before reaching into her hip pouch and producing a small glass bottle filled with the sparkly crap. "I was saving this for . . . "

"I won't use all of it, I only need a little," explained Naruto, taking the bottle.

Naruto then walked to the chalkboard and grabbed an eraser, he then ran the eraser down the ledge picking up as much chalk dust as he could. Walking to the door next, Naruto pull a chair up next to it and proceeded to wedge the eraser in the door. Naruto then opened the glitter bottle ever so carefully so as to not get any on himself and poured a little of the stuff on top of the eraser. Task done, Naruto recapped the bottle and returned it to Sakura before taking his seat again feeling very self-satisfied.

"You know that won't work on him, right? I mean, he is a jounin," said Sakura, looking on skeptically.

"Maybe, but I'd bet it's more likely to succeed given he won't expect something so rudimentary," argued Naruto.

Sakura narrowed her eyes at Naruto. "Fine, what's the bet?"

Naruto blinked several times in surprise. He hadn't expected Sakura to actually make a bet out of it. "Really? You want to bet me? Okay, let see . . . Ah, I got it. You have to train with me on Training Field 11 this afternoon, after I meet with the old man."

"And if I win, you can never ask me on a date ever again," said Sakura, feeling some satisfaction at the possibility of getting him to leave her alone.

"Deal," said Naruto, offering his hand to her.

Sakura shook his hand then sat back to wait and watch with eager anticipation.

Unfortunately that eager anticipation faded after another hour of waiting.

"I can't believe I'm about to say this, but I hope I lose the bet," said Sakura, earning a laugh from Naruto.

The sliding of the door snapped Naruto's attention to the door where a man with gravity defying grey hair had stuck his head in just in time to see the eraser hit his head and explode in a puff of chalk and glitter.

Naruto grinned victoriously.

"Hmm, my first impression is that I really hate you guys . . . is that glitter?" he asked as an afterthought.

"Yep," said Naruto. "Don't be late again, it will only escalate from here."

"You, I might kill," he said, trying to brush out the chalk and glitter with his hand only to cause it to spread instead. "Anyway, meet me on the roof," he ordered, vanishing a moment later leaving behind leaves and glitter.

Sakura finally giggled which soon turned in to a laugh that she was joined by Naruto in.

"Idiots," grumbled Sasuke, standing and marching out the door.

Sakura stopped laughing instantly and followed after Sasuke like a lost little puppy.

Naruto stopped laughing a few moments later when he realized he was all alone in the room. He quickly ran to catch up to his teammates and join them on the roof.

Up on the roof Naruto was greeted by the sight of his sensei sitting on a railing reading a little orange book he was all too familiar with. Naruto couldn't help the smirk that appeared on his face at the sight.

"Take a seat," the man said without looking up from his book.

Naruto and his team sat down across from the man on one of the rooftop benches. The silence was odd, the man wasn't saying anything, just occasionally turning the page of his book. After a bit of time, he finally closed his book.

"So, let's start with some introductions," he said.

"What do you want to know?" asked Sakura.

"Oh you know, likes, dislikes, hobbies, dreams for the future, that kind of thing," he explained.

"Why don't you go first, show us how it's done," suggested Sakura.

"My name is Hatake Kakashi. What I like and dislike is private. Dreams for the future . . . hmm. I have lots of hobbies."

"All we learned was he name," stated Naruto and Sakura deadpan.

"You go Pinky," he ordered.

"My name is Haruno Sakura, What I like is . . ." she paused to look at Sasuke and giggle. "My dream . . ." she paused again and giggled harder.

"And dislikes?"

"Naruto," she stated rather harshly.

"Seriously?" asked Naruto, looking at her disappointed.

"Go ahead, Blondie," said Kakashi.

"My name is Uzumaki Naruto. I like ramen, especially ramen from Ichiraku. I don't like the three minutes it takes to make instant ramen or chakra rats, stupid pricks. My hobbies are pranks and training with my friends, Shikamaru and Chouji. My dream is to become Hokage and have everyone acknowledge me."

"Okay, and last, Broody."

"My name is Uchiha Sasuke, what I like and don't like doesn't matter. I don't have dream, only an ambition, I will kill a certain man."

"I get your brother is an ass for what he did but man, you seriously need to take a fucking pill or something. That can't be healthy," said Naruto, staring at him wide-eyed.

Sasuke instantly glared at Naruto, his mouth nearly snarling. "What the hell would an orphan like you know about loss?"

"As much or more than you, shithead," growled Naruto. "You at least had family, mine was killed the night I was born leaving me with a burden you could never possibly comprehend or understand. So shut the fuck about things you don't understand."

"Mah, mah, that's enough both of you," said Kakashi, placing himself slightly between them just in case.

"Hn," grunted Sasuke, looking away.

Naruto narrowed his eyes but resisted taunting the prick any further.

"Well, now that introductions are out of the way. Meet me tomorrow at training field 7 at 6:00AM, we're going to do something just the four of us."

"What are we doing, sensei?" asked Sakura, still nervously glancing between Sasuke and Naruto.

"Survival training," he answered simply.

"But we did that in the academy," protested Naruto.

"Ah, but this time you'll have to survive against me," he replied.

"What? Why?" Naruto all but shouted in shock and protest.

"Well, you're not quite genin yet you see. There is still one more test for you to pass."

"What do you mean?" demanded Naruto.

"Yeah, what was the point of the graduation exam then?" asked Sakura.

"That was just to test for the potential to become genin," he replied. "Anyway, see you all tomorrow morning. Oh, and don't eat breakfast, you might puke." The man then vanished leaving behind leaves and glitter once again.

"What a bastard," complained Naruto, a frown marring his face. He huffed once then turned to face Sakura. "Okay, so I've got to go see the Hokage and then we can go to training field 11."

"What?" asked Sakura. "Hell no, I'm not going anywhere with you."

"So you welching on our bet then? It's not like I asked you on a date, this is training," he exclaimed, more than a little annoyed.

Sakura glowered. "Fine, but if you hit on me even once I'm kicking you ass."

"Don't worry about that, now let's go."

Sakura frowned again before following Naruto toward the Hokage's office.
