Whats up everybody!
Are you ready for chapter 3?
But first, thanks to all my reviewers:
Gaara the Sandwarrior: Yup, I'm planning on putting Darth Maul in some chapters. You'll see him haunt Naruto.
PGW-Chaos: I never heard of Darth Sion yet, but I'll search and put him in this fic if I can. Darth Vader is the man though, like you said.
warprince2000: I think a NaruHarem is better though. That way, I wouldn't have a problem pairing certain characters.
kd8gun: Yeah, there might be a sasuke bashing. He's gonna get his ass(clamps mouth shut) sorry, no spoilers.
insanechildfanfic: Yeah, if you like it now, it can only get better. (Or worse...)
Kitsurumenokitsune: I hope this will interest you a bit for now...
Chapter 3: The Plan, and what Happens
AT THE HOTSPRINGS
The girls had finally decided what must be done. Well, more like Ino and Tenten. Hinata didn't want to be a part of the plan, but Ino forced her.
"Now, everyone understand the plan?" asked an excited Ino.
"Yes Ino, now can we get on with it now?" asked Tenten.
"Um, Ino-san, you two could do this by yourself. Why do I need to be a part of this?" asked a shy Hinata.
"Well, we need your Byakugan eyes to see if we are being followed or not." retorted Ino.
"B-but, N-Neji-niisan has better B-Byakugan vision than me." stuttered Hinata.
"Oh, so you want Neji to help us spy on Naruto while he is in the hot spring. It wouldn't look right!" shouted Ino.
Hinata cowered before Ino, but blushed when she thought of Naruto in the hot springs. Of all the times she had spied on Naruto, she had never done it when he was almost naked. She just blushed scarlet at the thought.
Tenten and Ino wondered why Hinata was blushing. But as they thought along the same lines of Hinata, they both blushed too. They had only realized that their plan involved a near-naked boy in a hot spring. Clearing their heads of the thought, they decided to proceed with the plan, with a semi-resistant Hinata. It was only when Ino mentioned Naruto being almost naked that she let her gaurd down long enough to be convinced. After they finished changing, they crept out of the women's section of the hot springs. Running to the city, they began the first part of their plan.
"Ok, Tenten, Hinata, you two go and find Sakura. If this goes according to plan, she will forget about Sasuke-kun, leaving him all for me!" yelled Ino.
Tenten merely shook her head. She wondered why she had agreed to this plan if she had known that Ino would get so worked up. She decided to get Ino back on track.
"Ne, Ino, hurry up and tell us where Sakura might be. The longer we wait, the less chance that Naruto will still be there when we get back." said Tenten.
"Ok, ok. No need to get pushy. Sakura will be somewhere near Training Ground 7, where Sasuke is. You two go ahead, I'll prepare the rest." said Ino.
As Tenten and Hinata left, Ino got down to business. Running towards the Hokage Memorial, she nearly crashed into Temari. She was surprised to Gaara and Kankuro there as well.
"Hi Temari! Since when did you come to Konoha?" asked Ino.
"Hi Ino. We were here on a mission that was close to the leaf. After we finished, we decided to go to the hot springs before we left." replied Temari.
"Yeah right. You forced us to come with you just so you could see Shikamaru again." muttered Kankuro.
"..." was Gaara's response.
Temari turned around and smacked Kankuro across the head with her fan, blushing furiously.
"I didn't come here to see Shika-kun." said Temari.
"Oh really?If you were half as smart, you would have realized that Shikamaru has moved on! He doesn't like you, and he never will." retorted Kankuro.
"What do you mean! Of course Shika-kun loves me!"
"Not if you keep smothering him like you are now." muttered Kankuro.
"What did you say!"
Kankuro turned around and was about to say the same response, but was rewarded witha smack across his face by a well known fan.
"..." (A/N: Guess who this is?)
Ino quickly pulled Temari aside, an idea on her mind. She struggled to pull Temari off of Kankuro who looked nothing more than a beaten up man with face paint.
"Temari-san, stop killing your brother for a second and listen to me" whispered Ino.
Temari stopped struggling and looked at Ino.
"What do you want?" she snapped, clearly wanting to go back and kill her brother some more.
"Temari-san, how would you like to be part of a plan to see how Naruto is really like"asked Ino devilishly.
"I'm listening." Was the reply.
"Me, Hinata, and Tenten are going to see why Hinata likes Naruto so much. This will involve a lot of sneaking around." said Ino.
"Why do you ned me?" asked Temari.
"Well, I thought you would be interested." answered Ino.
"No thanks. I've got better things to do."
"Did I mention that Naruto is at the hot springs now, and that he is barely clothed?" inquired Ino innocently.
The last part caused Temari to stop in mid-step.Turning around, she faced a smirking Ino.
'Why do I want o be a part of this?' she wondered to herself.
'Why am i also getting an image of Naruto with only a towel on?'
Temari wondered at the workings of her own mind. Ino stood quietly, until she judged that she needed to interrupt.
"So. Are you in?" she asked.
Temari looked at her straight in the eye.
"I'm in."
BACK WITH TENTEN AND HINATA
As they approached Training Ground 7, they saw a head of bubble gum pink hair. Crouching out of sight they watched Sakura. the girl was too busy watching Sasuke train to notice her surroundings. She didn't even see the two pairs of eyes watching her froma nearby tree.
'Sigh, Sasuke-kun seems to be training a lot these days.' she thought.
'He hardly ever looks at me, and yet I follow him everwhere.'
'You must make him notice you! Jump in there and make it known to him that you care about him!' shouted a voice inside Sakura.
Emboldened by Inner-Sakura, she decided to talk to Sasuke. She might as well have been talking to a brick wall.
"Good morning Sasuke-kun!" she said cheerfully.
"Hn."
"Don't you hate it when Kakashi sensei is always late?" asked Sakura, as she tried to start a conversation.
"Hn." Was his only response.
"Nice weather today!" she said.
Sasuke turned around and faced Sakura. He looked her straight int he eye. Sakura blushed. This was one of the rare times that he would even sapre a glance her way.
"You're annoying." said Sasuke. He then promptly turned around and went back to training.
Sakura was crestfallen. Her Sasuke-kun had just called her annoying. She didn't feel like she was intruding. Suddenly she felt a presence. Turning around she saw Hinata and Tenten. She waved to them.
"Ohayo Hinata-san, Tenten-san!" said Sakura.
She waved to them. Tenten waved for Sakura to come over to where they were. Sakura waved back and nodded to show that she understood. She then turned to Sasuke.
"Sasuke-kun, I'm leaving now." she said.
This time, she didn't even get a response. Feeling slightly put out, she walke to where Hinata and Tenten were.
"Hey. So, whats up?" asked Sakura.
"Me, Ino, and Hinata are planning to see why Hinata likes Naruto so much. Want to come?" asked Tenten.
"I don't know, Sasuke-kun might not like to see me with Naruto." said Sakura.
"He doesn't seem to care about you right now." said Tenten, looking over Sakura's shoulder.
"But-" protested Sakura.
"No buts, you're coming with us." said Tenten.
Sighing in defeat, Sakura followed them towards the hot springs. Feeling slightly comfused, she felt she had to ask a question.
"Why are we headed towards the hot springs?' asked Sakura.
"Thats where Naruto is. He is in the hot springs." answered Tenten.
Bewildered, Sakura asked, "What are we going to do when we get there?"
Tenten looked at her as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"We go in and spy on him, what else?"
Sakura blushed at the thought of seeing Naruto practically naked.
"We should go faster, Ino might be there already." said Hinata.
Sakura jumped. She had forgotten that Hinata was there. This was due to her silence.
"We're approaching the hot springs." informed Tenten.
WITH NARUTO
Naruto lay in the hot springs. He remembered his bickering fight with Ino. He frowned.
'Ino, she thinks she knows everything.' he thought.
He began thinking of what he would do to her once he got a hold of her. Shaking himself from his dark thoughts, he thought about the dream he had last night.
'Who was that Darth Maul guy? He looks creepier than Orochimaru.' thought Naruto.
'He also mentioned something called the Force. I wonder if it is a new kind of Jutsu that I can learn.'
As he thought about this, reached out his hand and felt around for a bottle of water. Not finding it, he saw that it was on the bench, a short walk away from the hot spring he was currently in. Sighing, he made as if to reach out and summon the water bottle to him.
'Oh great water bottle, come to me.' he thought mockingly.
He was totally surprised by what happened next. The water bottle lifted from the bench and flew to his hand. Shocked by what happened, he almost missed the water bottle.
'How did I do that?' he wondered amazed.
Having decided that trying the same thing again would clear up the situation, he reached out with his hand for his towel which was also on the bench. When he saw that the towel didn't move, he decided that what he did was a fluke. Feeling satisfied, he closed his eyes for a little nap.
Once again, he found himself in the same dark area where he first met Darth Maul. Tensing up, he looked around. Sure enough, Darth Maul walked out of the darkness a second later.
"So, Naruto, it seems that you have discovered your Force powers." said Darth Maul.
"What do you mean!" asked Naruto.
"When you reached out for your water, did it not fly towards you?" asked Darth Maul.
"That was nothing. I'm sure it was something else." stuttered Naruto.
"Oh really? You're just denying the fact that you have the Force within you. Go to the Ruins my boy, you will find your answers there." Said Darth Maul. With that, he turned around and walked into the darkness.
"Wait!" Naruto shouted after him. But he was gone.
Naruto suddenly burst awake. He was back in the hot springs. That was another dream. Sighing, he sank back into the water.
WITH EVERBODY ELSE
Ino and Temari had just reached the hot springs when they saw Hinata, Tenten, and Sakura. Upon seeing Temari, Tenten and Sakura bombarded Ino with questions.
"What is Temari doing here?" asked Tenten.
"Why did you pull me along?" asked Sakura.
"Are we ready to go?"
"Is there a reason why you pulled me away form Sasuke-kun?"
Ino held up her hands to stop the flow of questions.
"Whoa people one at a time! Temari is here because I invited her to be part of the plan, I pulled you way from Sasuke-kun so that I can get closer to him, we are ready to roll, and I pulle dyou away just so I could spite you." said Ino all in one breath.
"Ok, lets do this." said Tenten.
Sakura just fumed. She could't believe that she was away from her Sasuke-kun. Fuming mad, she followed the others. They crept quietly into the men's section. At the sound of voices, the group all jumped into the nearest tree. When the voices faded, they continued to search for Naruto. Finally, the came across a hot spring with almost no one in it. No one except Naruto. Jumping into the nearest tree, the girls began with their spying plan. Ino reached into her weapons pouch and brought out five pairs of binoculars. Sliently, she gave out orders.
"Ok, everbody, use your binoculars to search out Naruto. Stay as quiet as you can. It shouldn't be hard, were all kunoichi's here." said Ino.
"Roger." whispered four voices.
Temari was the one who spotted Naruto. Excitedly, she motioned for the others to turn their binoculars in the same direction as her. Five sets of binoculars trained in on where Naruto was laying. To say the least, some of the girls were disappointed that the steam covered most of Naruto's body. Suddenly, every kunoichi in the tree got a nosebleed. Naruto has stood up. he wasn't wearing a towel. From his waist up, Naruto had a lot of muscle. He had a six pack, and semi-thick arms.
"Whoa, I never knew that Naruto was so buff! Now I know why you like him Hinata!" squealed Ino quietly.
'Forget Sasuke, I'd rather have Naruto instead!' thought Ino.
To say the least, Hinata was blushing like crazy. This was the first time she had seem Naruto naked. She tried to stem the flow of blood while keeping her binoculars trained on Naruto.
Sakura was shocked. She had never know that Naruto was so good looking. she wondered to herself quietly, about what she had seen in Sasuke.
'Whoa, Naruto is so...developed. Move over Sasuke, hello Naruto!' she thought.
Temari was surprised that a short guy like Naruto was so buff and good looking without his shirt.
'And I thought that Shikamaru was good looking. Guess I was wrong.' thought Naruto.
Naruto's body left all the girls wondering what they had seen in all the guys they liked. They all decided that Naruto was better than all the guys they knew. Then they all wondered who he would choose. It became certain that only one person would be left standing when it would be over.
"I call dibs on Naruto!" said Ino.
"Back off Ino, Naruto's mine!" shouted Temari quietly.
"You will ahve to go through me to get Naruto. He is mine!" said Tenten.
"Ahem, you all forgot. he likes me. Not you people. So that makes him mine." said Sakura triumphantly.
"No. Naruto is mine. I liked him from the start. You all noticed him only today!" said Hinata.
They were arguing so loudly that they didn't hear Naruto sneak up on them. Until too late. Naruto was in a towel covering him from wait down, much to the disappointment of the girls.
"What are you guys doing spying on me while I was in the hot springs?" Naruto asked casually.
"Um..." was the unanimous response.
"How long have you girls been here?" he asked, slightly nervous now.
Ino, always the brave one answered.
"We've been here ever since you got up." she said.
This caused Naruto to blush. They had been here when he had no clothes on. So that would mean that they saw his...tools. Blushing at the thought, Naruto decided to run for it. But fate that day decided on something else.
"I think I'll go now." he siad.
Turning around, he was grabbed by five pairs of hands. He struggled vainly under their grasp, and was nervous because of the number of hands on his semi-exposed body.(A/N: Lucky Bastard...)
He decided that the looks he was recieving from all of the girls there would mean that he would be "hand searched". He decided to get the hell out of there before the girls decided that his towel was int he way.
"Kage Bunshin No Jutsu!" he yelled.
Five shadow clones appeared and each one grabbed a girl. As the girls tackled the clones, Naruto made his escape. He decided that he needed a hiding place while fives girls would be after him. He quickly dressed, and ran to the Hokage Tower.
Dun dun dun!
End of the third chappie!
You all likey don't you?
I had a hard time writing the girl part for I am a GUY. I cannot and will not think like a girl.
Well, the usual, R&R for the next chapter:Hokage tower:Haven or Hell?
