Chapter 11
Walking into the open field at gate 1 of survival training field 44 – the forest of death- Wolf, followed by Rabbit and Fox walked into the clearing to see a row of 15 blank masked Anbu. "Ah looks like all the greenies are here, very well then shall we begin? First things first you will be broken down into squads of 3. Then each squad will be given their objective, now split up I don't care if you choose your best friend and the kid you picked on when you were three years old." Watching as the recruits scrambled to get into teams he looked at Fox and said "you sure you're able to do your part of this training? We only have them for 1 month, we need to break as many of them as possible in that time." Looking at the ground Fox took a minute to think before nodding affirmative. "alright you sorry pieces of shit here is your objective there are five squads Fox here is going to make 3 shadow clones each clone will have an item you teams objective it to capture one of the clones obtain the object and survive the rest of the time limit. Any squad that fails to acquire and item will go through double T&I resistance training, those who succeed will have a nice meal, if for any reason you can't continue use the blue flare and we will promptly ignore it, after all in the field you won't always have evac available." Fox put his fingers in a t shaped and 3 clones appeared he handed each clone a satchel, once the clones received the items they took off, the first team made to follow, "hold up, let them get some distance otherwise this exercise is pointless." Five minutes passed before Wolf stood up, "ok get to your designated gate, and try not to kill anybody, you will be allowed to fight other teams, killing is allowed, once you leave this training field killing each other is no longer allowed, try to remember these are your fellow leaf ninja and this is a survival exercise so do me a favor, survive." With that the gates buzzed and opened and the squads took off into the forest to hunt clones, none of the realizing that they all had already failed their mission.
Looking at each other, the three members of Reaper squad broke down laughing. "How long do you think it will take them to realize that the clones dispelled after five minutes in there?"
Three days later
Looking over the fourteen surviving members of this Anbu cadet class, the fifteenth one died due to a giant tiger in the forest, "well, which teams got the objective?" hearing the groan and seeing the down cast heads and the bloody armor, Wolf could tell nobody did, smiling behind his mask he gestures at Rabbit, who begins handing out a scroll to each member. "open them and read this was the orders for this exercise my squad was given, read these orders over and over, don't you all think Fox here preformed great?" looking at each of them he continued "sometimes you will be given a mission, but by the time you leave the village the mission was already a failure, Genin team 7 almost had this happen to them not long ago, the client lied, the team leader Kakashi, chose to go on with the mission, they promptly ran right into Zabuza who's mission was to kill the client of team 7, see how shit hits the fan and keeps coming? Yea it's, lose lose situation, sort of like what we gave you, learn from it, and be prepared. Now get to reading" The scroll read,

Looking up at Wolf, the trainees couldn't help but feel like they were played, one brave soul even voiced his opinion, "so you threw us into that hell hole, with no way to win, and even set it up so that we might kill each other, all so that we would fail without doubt? What kind of piece of shits are you, you know what FUCK YOU!" with that an evil aura could be felt throughout the field, wolf after letting his aura known looked at the outspoken trainee and said, "you done? After all I am you trainer for this week, seeing as I'm the one that one day might have to save your sorry pink ass, or god forbid you end up on an Anbu team backing up mine, I would prefer you to be relatively trained and useful, now then I guess we have a punishment to deal with, though I won't make it that double torture resistance training, no I think we will just spend the next week camping in this here lovely forest of training field 44, getting your physical conditioning done, but for now go grab some chow and meet at HQ for some post mission briefing also did anybody recover the dead man's body? Or any of his personal affects?" getting a bunch of heads shaking no Wolf sighed, "alright, Rabbit I need you to get a squad to go recover what you can for his family," looking back at the recruits "when you're in Anbu you recover the body or the sword and tags for the family, the only reason not to is that you will die also in the process." Fox caught up to Wolf and asked "can I leave HQ?" looking at his nephew Wolf chuckled and asked "why so you can hang out with Ino?" blushing behind his mask Naruto just nodded his head, "alright but I want you back before their next training assignment I need the full squad for this.
While all that was happening Hiashi Hyuga was deep in though in his office,
-Flashback-
"So tell me Naruto-San, how much do you know about the clan restoration act?" asked a voice behind Naruto, jumping in surprise Naruto spun around and came face to face with the Hyuga clan head, "not much sir." Was Naruto's response as he tried to calm his racing heart. Nodding at this Hiashi decided to fill him in, "well you see Naruto-San, when a clan is down to less than five males it has the option to participate in the clan restoration act, as such each of those males would be allowed to take up to 5 wives, to help repopulate the clan, but the thing is that the male has to make the choice on their own, it cannot be ordered by a clan head or even by the shinobi or civilian council. Not even the Hokage has the power to push it onto a male that does not want to participate." Taking a sip from his glass Hiashi then continued "I know for certain that my eldest would be happy which ever choice you made though she would be even more pleased if you chose her as a future wife, I'm not telling or asking you to take her as your wife or even to date her, I'm just getting sick of her crush and want you to either do something about it or to tell her you not interested." With that Hiashi turned to Kenshin "thank you for your hospitality, as always it's a pleasure." With a nod to Inochi, Hiashi left the residence.
End flashback –
After his talk with Naruto and trying to convince the lad to seek out his daughter to either confront her about her crush, he hoped it would end it by them either becoming a couple or he breaks her heart and she no longer sees him in a positive light, being the clan head he wanted either, being the father he wished he could be and show to his children he hoped for the first option.
With Inochi things were much different, as he sat with his wife at their house waiting for their daughter to get home so they could relax as a family. Thinking back to that meeting with Naruto (same meeting Hiashi though back to)
Flashback –
After Hiashi left, Inochi sat forward and looked Naruto dead in the eye, "Naruto, I know you grew up without parents, and I know my daughter has taken an interest in you, so I'm going to be perfectly clear, don't purposely hurt her ok? If you do as her father I won't be able to control my actions. I knew your father, he saved my ass more times than I can count, hell more times then I care to count, he would be very proud of the man you are, for that and what I've seen of you I have no issue if you and my daughter become a couple." Looking even more stunned "sir I don't know how I feel about Ino-Chan or Hinata-Chan, so right now I won't pursue either but I will try to keep them happy till I'm sure." Looking at the young man with more respect Inochi stood up and bid them farewell before leaving.
End flashback –
Inochi was so caught up in his thoughts that a sudden knocking at the front door startled him, quickly getting focused he went and answered it, he found a familiar person hiding behind a Fox Anbu mask, "ah Fox, how may I help you?" looking through the mask eyes Fox replied was wondering if Ino was free to grab a bite to eat?" both men jumped when a voice from behind them said "I'm sure she is how about you turn around and ask her Foxy?" turning quickly Fox saw Ino standing with Shikakmaru, and Choji, looking at her father "hey daddy Shika and Choji insisted on walking me home today, so can I go with him?" scratching his chin he looked at the young Anbu, "when are you expected back Fox? I know Wolf is very strict on time schedules." Thinking for a second "I have to be back in about an hour and half." Ino gasped at the amount of time left before dragging the Anbu agent inside "then obviously we are eating here, you don't have time to get food and get back." Inochi, quietly laughing at his daughter's actions, bids farewell to her teammates before walking inside to see his daughter and wife both fussing over Naruto. "You can take the mask off Naruto, its secure in here." Rubbing the back of his head before looking around, then removing the mask. "Yeah sorry about that, it's just for past week I've been in the field with some rookies and well we had to get them use to using codenames so we kept masks on even at HQ. I kind of forgot I was even wearing it." He sat the mask down on the counter before unstrapping his katana from his back and two of his three pouches and setting them with his mask, seeing the look on Ino's face he sighs, "yes you may look at them if you want I don't got any classified items in those two pouches and the katana is just a clan sword so nothing major." Squealing with delight Ino immediately started examining the craftsmanship on the katana, even going as far as to draw the blade.
Shaking his head at his daughters actions he walked over to his wife and asked her "so do they remind you of anybody yet?" laughing at her husband's joke "just like Minato and Kushina."
1 week later
She was running through the trees, she had to get back, to get away from her pursuers. Running past a tree she realized she had seen it before, calming herself she let out a burst of chakra, and the Genjutsu dropped, she saw at least five armed individuals surrounding and leering at her. "Stay back" she cried out as they approached her. Backing away from her pursuers she tripped over a tree root and fell onto her back looking up she saw one of her assailants grinning as he stepped between her legs. He had just spread her legs when she closed her eyes, waiting for the inevitable all she heard was a silent grunt, and a heavy thud, opening her eyes she saw that instead of the assailant looming over her, it was an Anbu operative, it was Fox. Cry Ino grabbed Fox and pulled him down into her embrace and she proceeded to cry into his shoulder, as his teammates secured the scene.
Exit dreamscape
Waking up Ino couldn't help but wonder how that dream could have ended, or why it kept reoccurring, whenever she tried to talk to her dad about it he simply told her to follow his heart. She knew one thing though, she needed to see Naruto, and they needed to talk. Getting dressed she left the room not noticing the shimmer in the corner. Releasing the cloaking jutsu, Inochi stepped out of the corner and chuckled silently to himself, "finally she gets it, and maybe she will help him when all is revealed."
Else where
Stepping out of the ramen stand, Fox looked both ways and was about to jump away "WAIT!" turning he nearly dropped his order of takeout ramen when a mass slammed into him. Looking down he saw it was Ino. "So, I know the saying of running into each other, but um yeah this took it a little too far." Looking at him in shock about the crappy pun used "sorry, I was just trying to find you. Do you have time, I need to talk with you."
