Year 5

Ino's POV

It's been several weeks since Kakashi-Sensei started her training and she had to admit he's a good Sensei when he wants to be of course he was always late but Naruto and Sakura already told her that.

It was hard for her having nowhere near as much Chakra as Naruto she knew she's never going to create as many clones as him but after finally learning the Shadow Clone Jutsu she was able to create 10 clones but it drained a lot of her Chakra so Kakashi instructed her to create only two.

Kakashi also told her to use clones to improve her other Jutsu's as the Shadow Clones learn through use whatever it learns when it's dispelled she will gain that knowledge it also helps that she can use clones to continue whilst she does something different.

Kakashi after finding out her Affinities was earth and water taught her Suiton Suijinheko No Jutsu Water Release: Water Formation Wall and Doton: Doryudan: Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet. Ino was over the moon as she never thought about it but with Kakashi-Sensei learning so many Jutsu's it was great he helped her.

The Rasengan, unfortunately, was not going well with Ino's limited chakra it would just waste what she already had plus, as the request came out of the blue Kakashi, didn't know how to teach it to her he remembered Naruto telling him there was steps involved but he never told him what they were.

So Kakashi had to tell her the truth she was sad that was obvious but if Kakashi didn't know how to do it how could he teach her.

He did tell her to ask Naruto when he returned she agreed to ask him.

Naruto's POV

Naruto's been hard at work it seemed like it took forever but he finally did it he mastered Sage Mode he was so happy as was Jiraiya and the other toads, of course, Naruto didn't have warts on his face which kind of annoyed Jiraiya.

To celebrate Jiraiya took Naruto to a brothel luckily Naruto got out of there quick after several women tried swarming over him.

He continued walking through the town no sign of the Akatsuki in several months that was a relief.

He continues walking when he comes past a Jewellery shop he looks in the window and sees a silver bracelet with flowers all around it, he smiles "Ino would love that."

He enters the shop and buys it for her and has It wrapped up also. He then continues his walk.

For the next few weeks, Naruto and Jiraiya continued his training.

Jiraiya sends another message to Tsunade who replies that there is a group of Rogue Nin's from Takigakure in their area they've been causing trouble and robbing travelers she orders them to deal with it and so they do.

There is only 50 of them so Naruto decides to toy with them he's been waiting for ages to use this Jutsu so he rubs his hands "I'll deal with this you sit back and relax your old bones."

A vain appears on Jiraiya's head but he just turns away mumbling about ungrateful brats with a gray cloud above his head. Naruto chuckles then pull's out his sword then goes through some hand signs "Kirigakure No Jutsu (Water Release: Hidden Mist Technique)."

A thick mist appears around the camp leaving all the rogue Nin's confused. Naruto then runs in to take them out. Jiraiya having never liked the Jutsu cringes everytime he hears a scream and there are a lot of them.

He didn't even remember teaching that to Naruto maybe he got a scroll from Suna when they were there before, After a few minutes, Naruto appears in front of him with a sack over his shoulder and drops it in front of Jiraiya.

He looks inside and grins "Payday."

Naruto grins "There hardly going to need it being dead and all."

Jiraiya sighs "Anything I should know."

Naruto sighs "I found two dead women seems they were raped before being killed Kunoichi to I believe such a shame but it happens so often as you've told me."

Jiraiya nods "Yes it happens, so did you bury them."

Naruto shakes his head "No I wrapped them up there from Suna we ain't far from there I'd like to take them there."

Jiraiya nods "Your such a kind person and sure as you said we ain't far. We will make camp then set off tomorrow."

Naruto nods and they set up camp and Naruto goes to sleep Jiraiya sends a message to Tsunade then goes to sleep himself.

The next day they set off it only takes a few hours when they reach Suna they meet Temari who blushes seeing Naruto again but she quickly stops when she sees the sad look on his face.

Temari takes them to Gaara and then Naruto brings out a scroll and opens it and lay's the two dead Kunoichi on the floor. Jiraiya informs them about what happened as Naruto is still taking it hard.

Gaara informs them they were infiltrating a group of rogue Takigakure Rogue Nin's, they must have been found out. He thanks, Naruto and Jiraiya for returning them to be buried properly he also pays them for bringing them back plus it seemed some of the Rogue Nin's were from Suna It's probably how they were found out.

Ino's POV

It's the fifth year now so she knows Naruto will be returning soon she can't wait she's so giddy she can't wait to see Naruto and how much he's changed just how much more handsome he is.

Apart from training under Anko-Sensei and the rest, she's also been trained under Tsunade she had learned some stuff but when Sakura informed Tsunade she personally helped her out to help her become even better.

Ino already knew that Sakura had improved but is shocked by just how much, Sakura has really grown up she's stronger she already knows that from their sparring matches, She's smarter but she's always been smarter than Ino not that she cares.

She admits that Sakura's turned into a beautiful confident woman not as much as herself of course but she has to admit she's hot just going by how many guys check her out not that she seems to notice or care.

Sakura's also a hell of a doctor the nurses love her she's getting quite a name for herself for not only being the apprentice of Tsunade but for her skills, as a doctor, her fame has reached all over.

Ino's been on missions as far as Kumo or Iwa and they've mentioned the Pink Haired Doctor who seems to be respected. Ino only hopes that Naruto will be happy that Sakura has improved herself and isn't just a fangirl anymore.

She then thinks that he's been traveling himself he might already know personally Sakura is her best friend again and only hopes that Naruto can find it in his heart to forgive her it seems Sakura deep down hates everything bad she ever did to Naruto.

She is still worried about Hinata even though they kissed more than once deep down she fears he might not want to be with her anymore.

She knows Hinata has had feelings for Naruto for a while but she is also slightly jealous Naruto is hers, not Hinata's and just like Sakura, she missed her chance.

Naruto's POV

It's been several months since they left Suna but there finally home well nearly there in the fire country Naruto and Jiraiya are walking and talking.

Naruto has completely changed how he looks well he changed years ago after he realized that Jiraiya was correct bright Orange, unfortunately, attracts trouble just what he and Jiraiya didn't want so now he now wears black ANBU pants with a mesh shirt and a black trench coat with Orange flames at the bottom.

He also wears gloves with metal, in the end, they really pack a punch as a bandit witnessed before he was sent into a tree. His hair has grown out now and is in a ponytail. Lastly, he has a sword strapped to his back.

He was able to find a teacher in Kirigakure when they had a brief stay there Naruto became quite efficient with the blade from what Jiraiya and his Sensei for the short time he's probably high Chūnin or Lower Jōnin in Kenjutsu and now after several hours of walking, they reach the outskirts of Konoha.

Naruto smirks "Home sweet home man I've missed this place wonder how everyone is."

Jiraiya grins "Glad to see your back to your happy self or is it a certain platinum blond girl you've come to see."

Naruto blushes "Shut it, Ero-Sennin let's go."

Without waiting for a reply he speeds up Jiraiya just smirks and catches up to Naruto.

Kotetsu and Izumo are bored as per usual when they see someone staring at them at first there shocked Kotetsu looks at Izumo "Tell me I'm not seeing the ghost of Minato Namikaze."

Izumo is shocked "I can't answer that because I'm just as baffled as you are."

Naruto grins "So I look like my dad huh."

Kotetsu seems confused "Dad wait Naruto is that you."

Naruto grins and sticks out his thumb "Believe it."

Izumo grins "Man you've changed Naruto I can't believe it's been five years."

Naruto grins "Must be dull around here without the prankster king around."

Kotetsu laughs "You bet although Konohamaru is trying to copy you."

Naruto grins "Really trying to steal my thunder well I'll have to show him who the real Prankster King Of Konoha is now won't I, but for now well I have things to do I'll catch you later."

Without waiting for a reply he dashes off then Jiraiya appears "Dammit he's run off again, oh hey guys."

Izumo and Kotetsu grin "Welcome back Jiraiya."

He grins then rushes off to meet up with Tsunade, Kotetsu and Izumo just grin knowing a lot of pranks are coming to the village.

Ino & Naruto's POV

Ino's in the flower shop bored her dads on a mission and her mom's out of the village gathering supplies so she's stuck here reading a magazine she's that bored she's read the same magazine three times and it's only two in the afternoon.

Naruto's walking through Konoha many women are gawking at him but he just ignores them he stops when he gets to Ino's flower shop and looks through the window and grins when he sees Ino bored at the counter so he opens the door and steps inside.

Ino's that bored she doesn't even look up so Naruto checks her out and is shocked Bloody hell she's got even hotter how is that even possible he coughs "Excuse me Mrs. I would like to some flowers for a very special lady."

Ino looks up and blushes but she doesn't realize it's Naruto Bloody hell this guy's hot, shit I shouldn't fantasize about anyone unless that persons Naruto-Kun "What is the occasion, sir."

Naruto smirks She doesn't even recognize me this should be fun "Well I'm not sure I've been away for an awfully long time."

Ino nods still not getting that VITAL clue "I see well do you love this person."

Naruto thinks and then nods "Yes I do I think."

She grins "Well then roses would be perfect."

She wraps them up and then passes them to Naruto not knowing that it is Naruto.

He grins then passes them back. She seems confused "What are you doing."

Naruto grins "Giving them to you."

She blushes "I'm flattered Mr but I'm with someone."

Naruto grins Time to tease her "He must be quite a guy."

Ino grins "He is he's been away for so long I miss him so much."

Naruto chuckles Oh What am I saying the Hell with teasing "Ino Yamanaka have I changed that much in five years."

Ino looks closely No, I know that face he's back "Naruto-Kun."

He grins "Believe it."

She scrambles over the counter and almost jumps into him Naruto catches her and swings her around "Man your even more beautiful than before."

She hugs him "I've missed you so much."

He grins "And I've missed you."

She grins "Man you were hot before but damn, Naruto-Kun you're looking good."

Naruto sighs "That's a blessing and a curse I'm afraid all I've had for five years is girls drooling over me everytime they see me and that includes as soon as I stepped foot in Konoha."

She grins "Well they can drool all they want only I get to be with you come on I need a break lets go for a walk."

Naruto nods "OK, Ino-Chan don't forget the roses."

She picks them up and she locks up and they walk around. Ino is clinging to Naruto's arm as they walk around many women are glaring at Ino wishing they were her.

Men are glaring at Naruto for the same reason the women are glaring at Ino but neither Naruto or Ino care there back together and that's all that matters.

They head up to the Hokage monument and lie down on the top with Ino lying on Naruto's chest she grins "You know you wouldn't get all the women drooling over you if you wasn't wearing such a revealing shirt."

He grins "Yea your probably right."

She grins "But I like it I get to see your amazing chest and it's all mine." She starts touching his chest and blushes "You was slightly ripped before now your just amazing."

She leans down and kisses Naruto on the lips and he kisses her back.
