The two blondes then left the Hokage tower, with Naruto feeling almost nothing but dread.

The two then each went to their respective living places, agreeing to meet at the gate.

"Why did Granny have to pair me up with her of all people?" Naruto groaned as he packed shuriken and kunai knives he'd more than likely need for the mission, as well as extra clothes.

And given who he was paired with.. He packed a week and a half's worth of undies, since he was more than likely going to end up getting quite a few of them ripped, via, Ino's own two hands.

Ino sneezed a bit as she was packing her own supplies; "Must've been Naruto-chan thinking about me somehow.. I'm so gonna enjoy the entire mission~"

Eventually, the two met back at the village's gates, Naruto slightly sweating as he felt nervous of what Ino had planned for him for the entire week.
