Phase Two and The Talk

"So what did you want to talk to me about Asami-chan?" Naruto asked as his friend prepared breakfast for him. The girl had started doing so ever since she found out his unhealthy eating habits.

Said girl had her hair in a high ponytail and wore a white apron with colorful poka dots. Asami had been planning about this talk for a week now and she didn't like seeing Hinata's sad face at seeing her crush paying attention to another girl.

Her plan was simple. Talk to him where he's comfortable and happy.

Naruto liked his potted plants at home and her cooking. If she talked to him in the morning, then he'd had time to think and act. She was going to make him realize that Sakura is nice, but she's not the right one. However, she needed to find out why he liked her in the first place in order to show him that it's not love when you're hit by someone and scolded by them like a misbehaving puppy. She knew her friend was smart, he was just slightly oblivious at times.

"Well I was just wondering about how you think of the girls in our class." She decided that she'd go slowly and ask a few questions to make him think. She walked over to her friend and carried their breakfast over.

"Hmm, well I honestly have little hope for our class except for you, Hinata-chan, Ino-chan, and Sakura-chan. Everyone else is just a fan girl of Sasuke-teme!" He grumbled a bit as he thought about their dark haired classmate.

Asami sweatdropped before muttering 'Itadakimasu' and eating. Her blonde friend's rivalry with the boy was widely known, but unfortunately, he had always lost to his declared challenges. It made her young blood boil when people made fun of her friend after his losts, but it quickly disapeared with Naruto's good-natured grins and promises of next time.

Asami paused, for some reason, Sasuke had looked shocked at the blonde when he said that the first time. She didn't know why, but it was something that had caught the raven off guard. The violet eyed girl made a mental note to find the reason and filed it away.

"Oi? Asami-chan? Did you hear what I said?"

Asami blushed and shook her head, "Sorry Naru-chan."

The blonde sighed and repeated himself, "I was wondering why you were asking me?"

She shrugged in return, "Well, if you're going to be Hokage, I thought you might as well start working on your analyzing skills." Naruto raised an eyebrow but kept quiet.

"So what do you think of the girls that has a chance of passing?"

"Well," the blonde paused and thought a bit before continuing, "I know that you'll definitely pass and do good since you've got that Ninjutsu book. Your skills are okay. I'm pretty sure they could be better, but that's in the future." He stopped and took a few bites of his breakfast.

"Hinata-chan's the heiress of the Hyuuga so her future's pretty much set, but there seems to be something...tense about it too. Her chakra control's really good since she need's good control for her Byakugan and the Gentle Fist. Stamina's not too good, but I've seen how flexible she can be so that can help make up for that and her speed. Her strength is alright, could be stronger but it's a lot better than the girls in our class. I'm kinda worried about her health though, she always seems to have a fever and she'll faint at times too..." Asami smiled at her friend's obliviousness. Her friend may be able to create new seals that most jonin would find complicated and confusing, but he was still completely oblivious to the gentle girl's feelings.

"Ino-chan is good with her mind techniques and her accuracy's really good too. I'm not too suprised since she's a Yamanaka. She'll probably work more on gathering information and maybe if she gets over her school girl crush, she could probably take her father's old position as the T&I Head. Stamina and strength sucks though. She's smart, but otherwise, she probably couldn't last very long in a one-on-one fight with someone like Hinata since she uses close-ranged attacks."

"And Sakura-chan?" Asami asked curiously. She wanted to see what the blonde would say about his crush.

He hesitated, not wanting to say anything bad about his crush, but it needed to be said.

"...She...she's pretty bad at just about everything not related to knowledge from textbooks. I think she's got really good chakra control, probably better than Hinata-chan, but I can't be very sure since...since she hasn't really done much other than fawning over Sasuke-teme. She can hit really hard, but that's only from experience and because she's usually mad..." He winced and rubbed his head. He never did understand why she kept hitting him. He thought girl's liked getting attention and being asked out on dates. "Stamina's really bad, accuracy's alright, and there's no doubt that she'd lose quickly if she went up against you or Hinata-chan...She's really smart though! If she places a genjutsu properly and cleverly, then there's a..a small chance she could win..." Naruto finished softly and sighed before his tan hand combed through messy blonde hair.

"Damn it...You know, you're really manipulating right?" Naruto muttered looking away. She was using something he had said a few years ago against him.

When Sarutobi had asked the two about who they wanted as an ideal spouse/partner, he had replied that he wanted a girl who could take care of herself in tough situations. If he was to become Hokage, Naruto knew that his family would be targeted and that he wouldn't always be there to protect them. He wanted a wife who could take care of herself in tight situations, someone who would fight in perfect sync with him. As of now, Asami was the only who could really keep up with him during their spars. Sakura was barely able to keep up physically with the class.

"Then why do you like Sakura-chan, Naru-chan?"

"...Because I thought that we were similar Asami-chan. We were both teased ya know? I think she was teased for her forehead or something like that. I thought that maybe we could connect with each other through that..." Asami got up and walked over to her friend who was starting to notice something. Carefully, she pulled him into a comforting hug as he continued talking softly.

"I guess I was wrong huh? I don't know why but she just keeps hitting me and yells at me whenever I ask her out or when I proclaim my love for her...I don't get Asami-chan, I thought girls liked it when guys did that?"

Asami chuckled, "Yeah, we do, but we usually want it from the guy that we really like. I'm sorry, Naru-chan but I don't think she likes you that way..."

Naruto fought back the sting in his eyes, he had to be strong, he couldn't cry. "But I love her Asami-chan..."

"Do you Naru-chan? How do you know it's love? Maybe it's something else? I don't know what love is either, but I don't think love is when you get hit and yelled at..I'm sorry, Naru-chan." For a long time, possible half an hour, they stayed in that position. Asami held her friend, comforting him as he thought hard about his feelings.

"Hey, what do you want in a relationship, Asami-chan? What do you want when you're married? I never heard your answer to Sarutobi-jiji."

She smiled gently as she answered, "I want him to be there for me Naru-chan. I want to be strong to protect him but I'd also like it if he can take care of himself. I want him to talk to me, smile for me, laugh with me, and stay by my side through everything-good times and bad times."

Naruto looked up with confusion, "That's it? Nothing else like buying you everything you want or taking you out on romantic dates?"

"Yep, because in the end, there's nothing better than him showing me how much he loves me more than his actions and words."

"Do you think I could be someone else's ideal husband, Asami-chan? Can I really stay and make someone happy?"

"Of course!" Asami thought of the shy Hinata who had a crush on Naruto. She admired him for his determination, his never give up attitude, and his bravery/courage. The girl didn't seem to mind when Naruto was doing something rude. "There's always someone out there who'll love you for you, Naru-chan! Don't give up just because of Sakura-chan's rejections! Don't forget Naru-chan, I believe in you. I believe that you'll become the greatest Hokage of Konoha and that you'll find a nice girl that loves you for you!"

Said boy blushed and rubbed the back of his head, "Hehehe, thanks Asami-chan. Man I get the feeling that the future's gonna be tough, but I feel that it'll be fine..." Asami smiled and thumped her friend on the back.

"That's the spirit Naru-chan! Now let's reheat breakfast ne? I guess I can teach you something new too!"

"Alright! Bring it on, Asami-chan! I promise I won't burn the eggs this time!"

Now that he's changed his feelings about Sakura-chan, Hinata-chan has a chance now! Everything's up to the two now!

Phase Two complete-Phase Three start!
