Well here the next chapter of my story. It is doing a lot better than I expected it to. I have 24 followers and 20 favs and we are only eight chapters into the story. So I just want to say thanks to all that read the story. It means a lot. I have one question to ask any who would like to answer. Since Naruto gave Ino the nickname tenshi (which if I translated it correctly means angle), do you think Naruto should have a nickname and if so what would it be?
Ino made it to the flower shop just before opening time. She went in through the back and found her mom and dad going over magazines looking for new plants to order for the shop. She went up and gave them both a kiss on the cheek and a good morning. She looked at her parents and noticed that her mom had a slight smile on her face and her dad seemed a little angry.
"What?" asked a confused Ino.
"Young lady, would you care to explain what you are wearing and why?" Inoichi said in a firm tone.
Ino looked down and a blush spread across her face as she realized that she was still in Naruto's clothes. When she rushed out of his place that morning, she had forgotten to go home and change due to her not wanting to be late.
"These are Naruto's clothes that he let me sleep in last night and I guess I forgot to go home and change." Ino explained.
"Why are you in his clothes and not yours?" Inoichi asked as his temper started to rise before he was elbowed in the side by his wife.
"Leave the poor girl alone dear. She is a smart young women and I'm sure she didn't do any of the things you are thinking she did." Seiko told him.
"The reason I am in Naruto's clothes is because he wanted me to stay with him last night because he was hurt and upset. All I had was the clothes I wore to the funeral so he offered these to me. Nothing happened daddy, I promise." Ino explained as her dad sighed.
"Fine. Just go open the shop." Inoichi told Ino, and she ran off to open up.
"Don't be so harsh on the girl Inoichi. You and I weren't much older than they are now when we had our first time together. They are both smart, young adults." Seiko told him as she got up to leave to the green house.
Inoichi just sighed and shook his head, his little girl was still too little to be doing any of the things her parents had at her age. As he got up to go about his day, he was thinking about the fear he would have to put into the boy. The only question was how to do that since Naruto didn't seem to know what fear is.
Ino was setting behind the counter with his shirt up to her nose. She knew it would be a long day but she didn't care. She was lost in thought as she inhaled his scent and began to drift deeper into her mind.

Across town, a certain long, gray haired pervert was conducting "research" at the local hot springs. He was too lost in his activities that he failed to notice an elderly man and women approach from behind. They were Homura and Koharu, two of the village council elders.
"Jiraiya, we need to have a word with you." Homura said.
Jiraiya was surprised by the voice and jumped and hit his head on the wall of the hot springs. The girls he was watching all took off to the locker room. Turning around, his face grew to a frown.
"To what do I owe the honor?" he asked with a bit of sarcasm.
"We will get straight to the point Jiraiya, we want you to be the fifth Hokage." Koharu said.
Jiraiya just looked at them and laughed as he said "I'm not interested in that position. You couldn't pay me enough to do it. Find someone else." He told them flatly.
"We believe that Sarutobi's successor should be one of his students. Orochimaru is a traitor and we have no idea where Tsunade is, so that only leaves you." said Homura.
"She was last seen in a small town called Tanzuka down next to the border of the land of fire. A few weeks trip from here. Have her take Sarutobi's place." He told them as he turned to leave.
"You will go and convince her to return and become hokage." Komura said.
"And if I refuse?" he asked.
"Then you won't be allowed anywhere near the hot springs to conduct your so called research." Said Homura.
"Fine but I want to take Naruto Uzumaki with me. I want to train the kid and help improve his skills. I don't think it too much to ask considering he took down a sand demon." Jiraiya said as he waited for his reply.
They both nodded at him and left. "Now to convince him to go, that is easier said than done. Same can be said for Tsunade I guess. Maybe after seeing how much he looks like Minato she will change her mind?" Jiraiya thought as he left the hot springs.

It was around three o'clock and Naruto was aimlessly moving around Konaha. He had spent the last three hours going over and learning one of his father's best techniques, the hiraishin jutsu. It would take normal ninja close to a month to learn the jutsu but Naruto wasn't normal by any means of the word. Using shadow clones, he head sped up the process and learned it in less than a day.
Sealed in the scroll was some of his dad's kunai that the scroll said could be multiplied by using the shadow clone jutsu on it to give you more places to teleport to. Naruto had ease with this since the shadow clone jutsu was one of his best jutsus now.
He was on his way to see Ino. He was happy that she had accepted him with having Koneko sealed inside him and that she had stayed and helped him through some of the pain. He was brought out of his thoughts when a girl called his name. Naruto turned toward the voice and saw Tenten running towards him.
"What's up Tenten?" Naruto asked.
"We are all getting together in about an hour at training ground ten to have train together. You and Ino are the last two I have to tell."
"Alright that sounds like fun. I will let Ino know, I was on my way to the flower shop now anyways. Is Neji gonna be there? I would like to have a rematch and hopefully then that stick he has shoved up his ass will come out." Naruto said with a grin.
Tenten was silently cursing at Naruto for talking like that about her crush. "Yes Naruto he will be there and when he wins, everyone will see that you just got lucky last time." She thought to herself.
"Yeah he will be there. Well see you in a bit." Tenten said as she forced a smile and walked off.
Naruto made it to the shop and went in. He found Ino behind the counter still in his clothes and apparently lost in thought as she didn't notice him come in. Naruto decided to have some fun and snuck around the counter quietly coming up behind her and wrapping his arms around and placing a kiss on her neck.
Ino jumped at the contact and turned around and realized who it was. She punched him in the arm but stayed where she was at enjoying the embrace.
"What are you doing her Naruto? Not that I'm complaining or anything." Ino asked.
"I just wanted to see you so I decided to stop by. And on the way here we were invited to train with everyone here in about an hour at training ground ten, so I decided to see if you get off work and go?" Naruto asked as he began kissing her neck.
Ino shivered as he placed kisses up and down her neck. It was a feeling that she had never felt before but it felt good to her. She pulled him closer trying to get more. Naruto lifted her up and sat her on the counter without stopping the kissing. He kissed up to her ear and gently nibbled on her earlobe. Ino and let out a small moan and Naruto kept going. He moved back to her neck and started to suck on her skin and lightly run his tongue across her skin. All of a sudden they heard the back door open and the quickly broke apart.
Naruto jumped across the counter as Ino got off it and fixed her clothes. They both had blushes on their faces as Inoichi walked in with a few potted flowers. Inoichi was trying to figure out why they wouldn't look at him as Ino spoke up.
"Our friends are getting together to train here shortly at the training fields, would it be alright if I go?" Ino asked doing her best to hide the blush.
"Yeah you can go. But you need to be home no later than nine young lady.
Ino yelled ok over her shoulder as she pulled Naruto out the door. "Man that was a close one." Ino said with a blush.
"Yeah. Sorry bout that Ino. I don't know what came over me." Naruto said as he rubbed the back of his head.
"It's alright Naruto. It was….. fun. Come on we gotta hurry or we will be late." Ino said as she placed a small kiss on his cheek.

They made it to the training grounds a little while later and saw that everyone had showed up but Sasuke.
"So where is Sasuke?" Naruto asked out loud to anyone who would answer.
"Don't know. All he said is that he had better things to do than train with those that are under him. Probably just didn't want his butt getting kicked all over the field." Kiba said with a smirk.
"Don't talk about Sasuke like that." Sakura said defending her crush while everyone else just rolled their eyes.
"So how are we gonna go about this? I'm ready to get some training done." Naruto asked in his usual hyper tone.
"Why not just spar one on one, one match at a time, while the others watch?" Choji asked.
"Sounds good to me. Let's get this started then." Naruto said.
Naruto went back to where Ino was waiting and laid done with his head in her lap waiting for his turn to spar. They didn't pay any attention to the looks they were getting from their friends. All that mattered was each other. That sat there talking until it was Naruto's turn to spar.
"So who is my partner?" Naruto asked looking at his friends.
"That would be me. It's time to show everyone that it was just a fluke that I lost to you. You will lose to me today, it is your destiny." Neji said with a smirk.
Naruto just rolled his eyes and looked back at Ino. "Should I play around with this a little bit or should I just end it quickly?" Naruto asked her with a laugh.
"A little humiliation never hurt anyone. I'm sure having a little fun wouldn't hurt." Ino told him as he made his way to the field.
"Alright Neji, let's get this over with. I have dinner plans tonight and I would rather be there than here right now." Naruto said as he gave Ino a wink.
"You will lose here today by the hand of the Hyuuga clan. You cannot defeat me you little orphan." Neji spat back.
Ino was fuming with anger and was releasing a massive amount of killer intent towards Neji. Naruto and Neji were too focused on each other but all their other friends were slowly moving away from the angry kunoichi. She knew of Naruto's heritage and wanted to rub it in everyone's face that her boyfriend came from two clans but she knew it wasn't her place to tell anyone. She was too angry and lost in thought she didn't notice Naruto come over to her.
"Calm down my little tenshi. Don't let him get to you, you ain't the one fighting him." Naruto said with a chuckle as he leaned down and placed a small kiss on her forehead.
Most of the anger left Ino just then. She didn't know how he did it but he could always calm her down, even before they had gotten together but now he did it more sweetly. Once again they got looks from their friends but didn't pay them much attention. Naruto made his way back to Neji.
"Well like I said let's get this over with." Naruto said with a smile.
"I will not lose again to a parentless, clanless loser." Neji spat back.
"I use to think I was all those things too. Tell you what Neji, I learned of my heritage and I know exactly where I come from, so after I kick your ass here for the second time, I will explain to everyone just where I exactly I come from and then we will see just how high and mighty you think you are." Naruto said as he and Neji got into their fighting stances.
Over on the side line, Ino was watching and cheering her boyfriend on much to the irritation of Tenten. Ino noticed Sakura coming toward her and knew she wanted answers. It was a good thing to get it out of the way now because Ino was needing to talk to Sakura as well about a few things.
I know some of you all may end up saying that Naruto couldn't have learned the hiraishin so quickly but I beg to differ. With the use of clones he can learn things a lot faster than training normally so I just sped up the process a little bit. well I hope you enjoyed and as always review
