You know how the system is…

Disclaimer: (forgot about this) I do not own Naruto…

--------------------------------

"Hello," Ino greeted the small chibi version of Noratu, "And yes, it is I again you wretched snake," she frowned, "Where is Noratu?"

The snake refused to answer and turned away after glaring, chibi Noratu frowned and pointed to Noratu who was sitting down petting the small kit within his mind.

"You're invading my mind again?" he asked looked up to her in dull eyes, "What you said outside is already messing up my mind, now you're going to cause a bigger problem," he sighed and continued to pet the small kit.

"Yes," she sighed, "So you're actually taking in what I said? That's impressive," she smirked, "You do realize what I said was true."

Noratu looked at her again, sadness in his eyes and a huge frown on his face, "How am I supposed to believe that?"

"Just don't kid," the snake began hissing, "She's nothing but trouble, remember, I bet she's exactly like Kira. She'll rip your heart out," it hissed again at her, "You're nothing but trouble, get out!"

"Noratu, does he always talk to you like this?" Ino asked bonking the snake on its head, "He sure seems really annoying."

"He is," Noratu said smirking, he got up and faced Ino, "But he's wise at times, and helps me through tough spots. Right now I think I should listen to him and tell you to get out."

"He's just trying to hide you from the truth, all that I said was true," she smiled sweetly at him, "I'm telling you, I love your nii-chan, I know what's inside of him, I know what he can become. So I can tell you're hurt and that you need…You need a friend, I'll be glad to take in that position, me and your nii-chan if he wants!" her smile grew wider and she gave her hand.

Noratu hesitated and was about to take her hand, that was until the snake interrupted, "Idiot! Don't listen to her, she's just a pathetic human, I bet you any day she'll dump your nii-san and kick you out of her life too!" he hissed and whipped Ino with his tail, "You get out of here now!"

Ino wiped the blood trickling from her mouth and frowned, "Noratu, who controls your mind, you, or this snake?" she stood up and hit the snake in the head again.

"Me of course…But he may be right," he frowned, "I hate it when I can't make a decision on my own…I don't know who to believe…"

"Kid," it hissed again, "Believe me, I'm wiser and I know what's best for you," it frowned, "You know that I'd never do anything to hurt you!"

"That's what you've been doing for the past week you idiot!" she whammed the snake in the head once again, "You make him attack towns, that's what makes people hate him!" she frowned, "You know that people don't like those that destroy their villages for fun…" she looked down, "Noratu, he is what made out think that destroying was fun, he's the reason people hate you…"

"…" he remained speechless clenching his fist and looking down.

"Nee-chan…I don't think the snake likes you…Plus nii-senpai is very confused," the chibi Noratu said and started to cry, "I don't want you guys to fight!"

Ino squatted down next to the child and held his chin up high, "I won't fight unless it's absolutely necessary, I might have to fight the snake…He's evil you know," she wiped away his tears and gently kissed him on the forehead, "Don't cry please, I'm just doing what's best for you and your nii-senpai," she smiled sweetly as the kid embraced her, "I'll fight the snake and destroy him from your mind, that way you'll have peace…"

The child lightly whispered into her ear, "Kill him," Ino's eyes widened at the coldness in his voice, "I want him dead, and he's caused nii-senpai so much pain…"

Ino was released and looked into the sheer determination of the child, "Okay…"

"Kid, kick her out of your mind now," the snake hissed again and his eyes were glowing, "If not, I'll do it myself."

"Nee-chan," Noratu began, "Can I call you that?" he smiled slightly and Ino smiled too.

"Sure," then her face became serious, "Will you come with us to Konoha? Prove to Hokage-sama that we have a good reason not to kill you…"

Noratu's body froze, "You…You were going to kill me?" he looked so confused, "I thought…I thought you were going to help me…"

"It was the mission, we have no choice, but if we prove that you're as kind as Naruto, we can let you go," she smiled sweetly, "I'm serious…We are going to help you…"

"She's lying," the snake hissed, "I told you she was just messing around with you."

Noratu stayed there still confused as hell, he then dropped to his knees and screamed.

"If you're not going to kill her kid," he smirked, "I'll be glad to do that," he then went right into Noratu.

"What the hell?" Ino was then confused and stared at a glowing Noratu.

---------------------

"What the hell?" Naruto had the same expression, Noratu suddenly rose, eyes blank, face emotionless, and he was transforming. The bandages on his arms and legs unraveled and snakes hissed. Then Noratu's hair glowed and became fully black and his face became scaly. Eyes turning red he hissed and suddenly attacked Naruto.

"Why, I can even control him out here," he hissed again, "Noratu…Tsk…Tsk…Such a pathetic fool, trying to seek help from a girl and a demon boy," he smirked, "I will destroy you Naruto, and that girl also!"

"Ino-chan?" his voice was shaky and his fist clenched.

---------

"Hikari, Kyuubi, it seems that the snake is controlling Noratu," Naruto said voice shaky still, "And inside he's fighting Ino…I need both your chakra in order to knock him out and let Ino escape."

"What if she's able to do it on her own?" Hikari asked.

"Yeah Kit, she may be a woman, but she's probably more powerful than you think."

Naruto stood in the middle of his mind, "I don't know," he sighed and stared down on the floor as images of Ino flashed through his mind, "I just want to make sure that," he smiled slightly, "That I can tell her I love her too," his smile transformed into his foxy grin and the fox and child understood.

"Okay then nii-san," Hikari said with a wide smile, "Good luck!"

"Yeah Kit, knock that snake out of Noratu so Ino can finish him off!"

"Yeah, Ino-hime is depending on me…"

------------------------

"INO-HIME!" Naruto shouted out, his wings grew this time with tinges of orange, with Hikari's and his own chakra, orange chakra became ears and tails for him, he smirked, "You stupid snake, why do you have to be so evil? Why did you serve Orochimaru in the first place?" he rose his fist, "That evil bastard, I killed him, I know that, but his legacy lives on thanks to you!" he formed a rasengan, "Now, you will die at the hands of Ino-hime, but I can't do that until I knock you out of Noratu's body," his smirk grew wider as he charged at lightning speed.

"Shit!" Noratu tried to dodge but he was tackled by the rasengan. Flying backwards, he tried his best to stop. He suddenly stomped on a tree and it broke, "Child, you're not the only one with great power," He licked his lips and created a chidori in his hands, "Now die at the hands of Orochimaru's descendant, Orochi!"

Naruto flew backwards and used his hands to try to stop the chidori, "You can't be his descendant," he used the kage bunshin no jutsu and they all formed multi-colored rasengan, "You're not half as powerful as he is!" they all plunged it into him. Now since the rasengan came from all sides, he stayed in that one spot and screamed in pain.

"Ugh…" Noratu, or shall we say Orochi knelt down and blood came out from his mouth, "You…You truly are the one who killed Orochimaru, I remember seeing that move from the sidelines, except there was way more of you…" he then fell over unconscious.

"But that move merely made him unconscious, that wasn't until I performed my 'demonic angel wings' that I killed him. Now for you that want to know what that is, it's when I fly into the sky and all the chakra I have left mixes with most of kyuubi's and a lot of Hikari's and they shoot out in pointy feathers, then I end it with one more rasengan using the remainder of kyuubi's chakra…" he breathed in once more and fell over, "Ino-chan…"

-----------------------

Ino backed away from Noratu's changed form and he charged after her, "Die!" he hissed and started shooting out snakes and tangled her up, "Now, I'll just destroy your precious Naruto-kun and finish you off!"

Noratu disappeared into the darkness and the kit and chibi Noratu used some of their chakra to destroy the snakes.

Ino took in sharp breaths and thanked the two, "Now, let's hope that Naruto will knock that stupid snake out of Noratu," she sighed, "I don't know his true potential, so let's just believe in him."

Moments of her sitting down with the two cradled in her arms, she told them stories of fighting shinobi and how life would be like if they lived in Konoha. The two looked happy, then eventually fell a sleep inside her arms, "So cute," she said softly while the two slept, "Almost like Naruto," she blushed slightly at the thought then remembered the drool, "Except for that ocean of drool emitting from his big mouth…"

"Ugh," she heard a moan coming from in front of her; there was the snake and Noratu's body lying unconscious. She let the other two down and pulled out a kunai, "Ugh my body," the snake said and almost collapsed.

"You," Ino said in a harsh but quiet tone, "You're done for," she threw the kunai at him and it screamed in pain.

Hissing venom came from its mouth almost hitting Ino, "You're still here, I should've destroyed your body before trying to attack that loud mouthed boy," he hissed again and power came back into his eyes, "Now, Noratu suffered the most damage, so I'll be destroying you," smirking he charged after her.

On instinct she flipped backwards letting the needles shoot out of her mouth. The snake hissed again and she fired a wind bullet, (yes she can use that jutsu) she the made some chakra go into her hands and she knocked the snake back.

"Grr," the snake said and hissed once more, "You'll pay for that," suddenly more snakes appeared out of him and they charged after Ino.

"You're getting soft," she said smirking and fired many kunai with explosive tags onto the snakes. Focusing her chakra into her feet she charged at him and punched him again.

"Such strength," the snake said and used its tail to wiped the blood off of his mouth, "Never expected that," hissing, he launched fireballs.

Ino dodged all except for one that touched the tips of her hair and it went on fire, she panicked and used the water that was on the floor to put it out, "You evil bastard!" she screamed and knocked the snake out.

Panting she pulled out a handy brush and combed her now wet hair. Turning to see chibi Noratu and the kit still sleeping she sighed in relief, "Ahh!" she screamed as she felt two cold hands rest upon her bare shoulders. She turned to see Noratu with a slight smile, "Oh," she wiped her forehead and sighed again, "I thought you were the stupid snake."

Noratu looked at her with intense eyes, "Thank you," he said and wrapped his arms around her, "Thank you nee-chan…Thank you…" he then let go and began to cry, "I'm sorry for everything I did…"

"You think I'm done!" a harsh voice arose from the side and Ino's eyes widened. The snake was conscious and bigger than ever, "I'll leave your stupid body and kill you three on my own! Orochi is immortal! And I won't die at the hands of two demons and a human!" he smirked and suddenly disappeared.

The chibi Noratu awoke sobbing lightly and held the kit in his hands, the chakra was emitting from the two, "Nii-senpai, does this mean your going to fight?"

Noratu clenched his fists, "Of course…" he stared at his scaly skin and snakes emerged from it, "Even though that guy isn't here, I still have most of his powers," he turned to Ino, "Get out of here, check Naruto-nii-san and make sure he recovers," his eyes burned with determination, "I'll take care of the snake…"

"Kay!" Ino screamed out and she was out of there.

---------------------

Ino awoke to find Naruto passed out not too far from her. She turned to see a giant snake hovering over her, "Hello, we meet again."

Ino frowned and was about to punch him when he was sent flying upwards.

"I'll take care of him for now. You take care of nii-san…" he then smirked and ran, "I'M GOING TO GET YOU SNAKE-TEME!"

Ino smiled slightly, Noratu was actually on their side. She then turned to the unconscious Naruto, she shook him lightly, "Naruto-kun?" she said softly, "Naruto-kun please get up…"

Naruto stirred and some of his injuries disappeared, "Ino-hime?" he said softly with a slight blush, "Are you okay?"

She smiled slightly and held him in an embrace, "I'm fine, and you did well," she looked into his cerulean eyes, "Thank you for protecting us."

"I'd do anything for you Ino-hime, you are one of my precious people," he smiled slightly, "And what you said before," A rosy red blush appeared on his cheeks, "I love you too," he smiled sweetly and used as much strength as he could and kissed her gently on the cheek.

"What?" she said her cheeks growing red, she then smiled mischievously, "That's all you got?" leaning in, their faces just an inch away, she kissed him passionately and he returned it.

Separating after a few minutes the two were as red as tomatoes and smiling sweetly at each other. Ino let Naruto down and he got up and leaned against her, "What's up now?"

Still a little flushed she returned to her normal colors and sighed, "We have to kill that snake…Then, mission complete."

He smiled his foxy grin; "This didn't take as long as I thought!" he got up slowly and fell on Ino, "Sorry."

She let him sit down and she scouted the area, "Rest here first, Noratu is fighting that snake."

"AHHHH!" the two turned quickly and saw Noratu on the ground.

"DIE!" and a huge flame emitted from the snakes mouth and was about to hit Noratu when Ino jumped in the way.

"INO-HIME!"

A/N: Yo I'm not sure if that was long enough for you but whatever. I'm never good at the cliffhanger thing, so I'm not sure if that was one. If it was, then too bad for you, because you'll have to wait for another chapter. But knowing me it'll probably come around tomorrow or the day after. Or if you don't review, I won't update in a month! Take that!

Also I have another idea for an Ino/Naruto it's a Romance/Tragedy. No one dies, just…err rated M for reasons.

Summary: Ino is Sasuke's boyfriend. After weeks of getting to his warm side, she had no idea what she had in store moving in with him. Rated M for abuse, swearing, and Sasuke evilness. Naruto finds her alone next to a river, "What's wrong Ino?"----goes from there.

The story above will be uploaded once this one is done! Now you must wait for it if you think it'll be something worth reading.

Till next time my readers! Ja ne!
