Authors note: a comment from me about the story.

-- paragraph/scene change

Okay, the pairings are now: Naru/Saku/Ino and Tenshi/Rin. Enjoy the new chapter.

It was Monday and Tenshi stood in front of three very proud Genin. They were in front of the Hokage tower, and soon they would get their first mission. Why Naruto, Sakura and Ino looked so proud? They wore their new clothes. Naruto wore his new shoes, the black pair of pants with the red fire on. He wore the fishnet shirt under the black jacket with a golden Kyuubi.

Sakura wore her dark green dress while Ino wore her dark blue outfit. When Sakura and Ino had meet Naruto and Tenshi, the three Genin hadn't been able to stop staring. Sakura and Ino thought how good Naruto looked in dark clothes, while Naruto nodded to himself.

"Yep, you two look stunning in those clothes." Naruto said and Sakura and Ino blushed.

"Thank you Naruto-kun." Sakura said.

"You look good too, Naruto-kun." Ino said and this time Naruto blushed. Tenshi looked between his students, smiling. He had heard from Naruto that they were in love. Sakura and Ino had used the Sunday to try and get Naruto to think one of them were better than the other. They hadn't been able to convince him, since he was, by now, madly in love with them both.

"It's so frustrating. I don't know what to do." Naruto had said and Tenshi knew exactly what he meant. Rin had avoided Tenshi that whole Sunday, and he, who had wanted to talk to her about his feelings, couldn't do anything else than wait until she wanted to speak with him. Instead he had used his day of to go and pick up Naruto's clothes and the weapons for the three Genin. Now Tenshi was hiding something behind his back.

"Okay, listen up love birds. I have something for you here." Tenshi said and handed a wrapped package to each of the Genin. Naruto's was longer than Sakura and Ino's, but theirs was broader.

"What is this?" they asked.

"Open them." Tenshi said and the kids eagerly ripped of the wrapping. Naruto found himself holding a black Katana, shortened so it fit him. Sakura and Ino each held two wakizashis.

"Are these for us?" Naruto asked and Tenshi nodded.

"Come on, strap them on and look at the blades." Tenshi urged. Naruto found a belt in the wrapping and used it to strap the katana to his back, while Sakura and Ino used the belt that their wakizashis hung from and fastened them so that the blades were on their thighs under the flap of their dress, and the handles of the wakizashis were on their hips. Only the handles were visible, unless the girls jumped or something.

"Good Sakura and Ino. Right where I thought the blades should be. That way they won't be in the way, and are somewhat concealed." Tenshi praised and the two girls beamed. Then Naruto pulled out his blade. The handle of Naruto's katana was a black traditional katana handle. The blade had a black dull side, while the blade side was metallic. The engraving was lined with red so that it was easy to read.

"deep in the mountain a spiral spring field lies" Naruto read. Ino and Sakura also examined their blades. The handles were the same as Naruto's, and the blades were similar also, only much shorter. The engraving was the same.

"What does that mean?" Sakura asked.

"I had them engrave that to show that you three are team mates and always will be. It comes from your family names. Deep in the mountain is from Yamanaka, spiral is from Uzumaki and spring field is from Haruno." Tenshi said smilingly. The three Genin looked at him, before looking at each other and then at their blades. As one they bowed.

"Thank you so much." They said and Tenshi chuckled.

"No problem. Now come on, we are going to get a mission, finish it fast and I'm going to teach you how to use those. That will be our main focus for the rest of the week, and until you show me you can do your two jutsus perfectly, I won't teach you any new jutsu." Tenshi said and walked into the Hokage tower.

"That was a D-rank mission?" Naruto yelled. They had just finished painting an old ladies house. Tenshi, who had been sleeping in a tree nearby throughout the mission, smiled and nodded.

"Yep, that was a D-rank mission. Stupid, right?" He said and Naruto glared.

"Why do we have to do missions like that?" Ino grumbled.

"So that I can train you more, but you can still be useful to the village. Don't worry; it will only be for a short while. Now come on." Tenshi said and walked towards their training field. He then remembered to report in, and sent a kage bunshin to do that.

They arrived in the training area and Tenshi walked over to three vertical logs, each just as high as the Genin.

"For starters, you are going to give me your new blades and do your regular warm up." Tenshi said and the Genin nodded. They gave Tenshi their blades and began to run, do push ups, sit ups, squats, punch and kick logs. When they were finished, they stood to attention in front of Tenshi again. He returned their blades. Naruto, Sakura and Ino nearly dropped them though.

"What did you do? They are so heavy." Sakura complained.

"I activated something called a gravitational tag that is inside them. That increases the gravitational pull on something. Now, each of you take a log each and give me five hundred slashed upwards, five hundred downwards, five hundred vertical from left to right, five hundred from right to left, five hundred from bottom right to top left, five hundred from top left to bottom right, five hundred from bottom left to top right, five hundred from top right to bottom left and five hundred stabs. And yes Sakura and Ino, I mean with each blade and each arm. Also, don't use chakra to help." Tenshi said. The three Genin stared at him as if he was crazy, but when they saw he wasn't kidding, they started with the exercise.

"How…is…this…going…to…help?" Sakura huffed out.

"I…don't…know." Ino replied.

"This will…probably help us…fight with our blades." Naruto said. They had been at it for half an hour, and to them it felt like their arms would fall of.

"That's right. This builds strength, and allows you to feel how your blades flow. I don't know much about how to fight with a sword, but what I know is that to be a good fighter; you need to be familiar with your weapon. This way, you and your blades get to know each other." Tenshi said happily. Unknown to the Genin, he was training too. Having tripled his weights, he had trouble moving, and was running, switching between regular running and running on his hands. When he saw that Naruto had begun his stabs, Tenshi stopped running and started doing push ups, sit ups, squats, punches and kicks. He did a hundred of each exercise before stopping and starting on the next. When he was done with his kicks, he begun with push ups again. When he was nearly finished with the second round of kicks, he noticed that Naruto, Sakura and Ino were finished. Finishing up his exercise, he turned to them and smiled.

"Tired?" he asked and they nodded.

"Okay, I am going to teach you how to release the tags on your blades. Hold them firmly in your hands and form the ram seal. Then say "Kai" (undo/cancel)" Tenshi said. The three Genin did and instantly their blades felt much lighter.

"Just as with your weights, only do that when you have to. To activate the tags, form the ram seal again and pump your chakra into the blade. You should 'see' a tag inside the blade. Direct your chakra there and the tag will activate. After I have taught you a bit more about handling your blades, I will teach you more about chakra in the blades. For now, practice activating and deactivating the tags." Tenshi said. For the next half an hour, the three Genin only activated and deactivated the tags, several times. Then Tenshi stopped them.

"Okay, good. For the rest of the training today, I will show you a basic attack pattern, called a kata. This will be different for Naruto and you girls." Tenshi said and made a kage bunshin. The clone went with Naruto while the original stayed with Sakura and Ino.

With Naruto:

"Okay Naruto, the basic of how to use a katana I use is to find a weak spot in your enemy and attack that. You see, a katana is deadly when it cuts and stabs. If you train enough, you can easily kill someone with a katana." The clone explained and Naruto nodded.

"Okay, first I want you to practise something called iaijutsu. That is a technique where you draw your sword and attack in the same moment. There is several versions, depending on how you carry your sword." Clone Tenshi said and pulled out a katana of his own.

"This is Natsuhiboshi. My katana. You should name your sword as well." The clone said and strapped the katana on his back.

Naruto looked at his katana and saw the engraving.

"I'll name you Ai." Naruto said.

"Love? That is a good name. Now pay attention. When you practise iaijutsu, the point is to draw the sword so fast and accurate that the enemy can't react. To do that, you press the sword towards the front of the sheath while you draw. I can't explain it in detail, since you have to learn to do it yourself. Here, watch." Clone Tenshi said, walked up to a tree. Suddenly a flash came and a huge gash was on the tree. Naruto stared at the kage bunshin that now stood with it's katana in its hand.

"That was my iaijutsu." Clone Tenshi said and Naruto looked really eager to be able to do the same.

"Here, I'll show you slowly." Clone Tenshi said, and drew his blade again. Naruto saw how the blade was pressed against the sheath and how the arc of the blade was when it left the sheath.

"Okay, now you try." Clone Tenshi said and Naruto ran up to the tree.

With Tenshi and the girls:

"Okay girls. You two have two blades each. Your blades are called wakizashi. Basically a wakizashi is a short sword. The reason you have two, is that then you can block an attack with one of the blades and strike with the other." Tenshi said and Sakura and Ino nodded eagerly.

"As I said, I don't know much about fighting with a sword, but I can teach you the basics. First, practise how to draw you blades quickly. The point is that you should be able to draw your wakizashis so that you can be ready to fight and or block an incoming attack in moments." Tenshi said. The girls nodded and placed their hands on their blades.

"Wait. Rearrange your hands so that when you draw, your blades are along your lower arm. That way, it will be easier to draw, and easier to have strength in the blade. When you get better, you can see if the situation calls you to draw like that, or not." Tenshi said. The girls did as he said and for the next forty five minutes they changed between drawing so that they held the blades 'normally' and so that they held them in the reverse way Tenshi instructed.

"Okay, good. I think you can draw your blades fast enough now. I think it is time I showed you the only kata I know for dual blades." Tenshi said and for the next hour and a half, he showed and helped the girls with the kata, correcting them when they made mistakes, and guiding them.

"Okay, I think that is enough for now girls. Ah, good. Naruto is here." Tenshi said and the girls looked up as Naruto walked towards them, looking tired.

"Okay, you three have shown great progress with your blades. I did something right when I bought those blades. Oh, by the way. Ino, Sakura. Have you two thought up names for your blades?" Tenshi asked.

"Um…do they have to have individual names?" Sakura asked and Tenshi shook his head.

"No, since a dual wakizashi pair is like twins, so you can give them a 'family' name." Tenshi replied.

"Okay, I have decided. I am naming my wakizashis 'Sunshine'. From Naruto-kun's hair." Ino said and Naruto blushed.

"I'm naming my wakizashis 'Tenken' (heaven sword). From Naruto-kun's eye colour." Sakura said and Naruto turned so red, Tenshi thought Naruto had started bleeding.

"What about you Naruto-kun?" Sakura asked.

"My katana is called Ai. Because I love Sakura-chan and Ino-chan" Naruto said and this time it was the girls that blushed.

"You heard that, he said my name first." Sakura said, like it was the most important thing in the world.

"That doesn't mean he loves you more than me, forehead girl." Ino shot right back.

"Pig."

"Forehead."

"Pig."

"Forehead."

"Pig."

"Forehead."

"Pig."

"Forehead."

"Shut up!" Tenshi roared, cutting the girls off. They looked slightly scared when they looked at him.

"What's up with that? Why are you arguing like that?" Tenshi half yelled, clearly pissed of.

"We…because…" Ino and Sakura stammered.

"I love them both, and they haven't stopped arguing about who I love more since." Naruto explained.

"Ah, so that's it. Well, why don't you choose then?" Tenshi asked.

"Because I love them both the same. I don't love either of them more than the other." Naruto yelled, waving his arms in the air, giving the impression that he was trying to fly.

"Okay…" Tenshi said and turned to the girls.

"Why don't you two share then?" Tenshi asked.

"Huh?" Was the rather intelligent question from the three Genin.

"I mean, why don't both Sakura and Ino date Naruto together. I read about it once. If you love each other enough, it shouldn't be a problem." Tenshi said and the three Genin looked at each other. Then huge grins came on Sakura and Ino's faces before they walked up to Naruto, Ino on his left, Sakura on his right. The two girls grabbed an arm each and leaned against Naruto, resting their heads on his shoulders. They looked up at him, blinking their eyes seductively.

"What do you say Naruto-kun?" Sakura asked.

"Are you man enough to date us both?" Ino asked and Naruto had to swallow before getting a blissful smile on his face.

"You go kit!" Kyuubi roared and Tenshi almost broke down laughing at that.

"If you two want to, then I don't have anything against that. I have to be the luckiest guy alive to have two girlfriends." Naruto said and Sakura and Ino smiled happily.

"Okay, I hate to interrupt this tender moment, but I have someone I have to introduce to you three." Tenshi said and turned to a person who stood behind him.

"This is Hayate. He is a sword master, and will be teaching you how to use your blades." Tenshi said and a sick looking Jounin stopped beside him.

"Hello cough. Nice to cough meet you." Hayate said, he was coughing a lot.

"Hello sensei." The three Genin greeted, uncertain if the Jounin was okay.

"Hayate will teach you every day for a while, along with me. We will coordinate our teachings. You have the rest of the day off, I suggest you three go and enjoy yourselves." Tenshi said and the three Genin started walking towards Ichiraku ramen, but Hayate stopped Naruto.

"I seecough that you have cough two girlfriends. cough Congratulations, you are a very lucky cough guy. Herecough. I have a reservation for acough restaurant in Konoha, but mycough date got a mission. Enjoy." Hayate said and handed Naruto a note.

"Thank you very much sensei." Naruto said happily and ran after Sakura and Ino.

"Nice Hayate said and Tenshi nodded.

"Yeah, they are. Thanks by the way, for teaching them. I really suck at sword fighting." Tenshi said and Hayate looked at him.

"Then whycough do you have a katanacough" Hayate asked.

"A gift." Tenshi simply replied. Hayate didn't ask anything else.

"So, where to Naruto-kun?" Ino asked, hugging Naruto's arm tightly.

"Hayate-sensei gave me this." Naruto replied and showed the girls the reservation slip. The girls squealed when they saw it.

"That is a great restaurant. When is the reservation for?" Sakura asked excitedly.

"Um, eight o clock." Naruto replied.

"Come get me half past seven then." Sakura said, gave Naruto a kiss on the cheek and ran home.

"Pick me up too, will you Naruto-kun?" Ino said. When Naruto nodded, she kissed him on the cheek too and ran off. Naruto stood there, touching his cheeks.

"They kissed me." he said in a daze.

Naruto dressed in almost the same outfit as he used before, but he used the jacket with the orange Kyuubi on and he didn't have any weapons on him. He had combed his hair, so it was a little less wild. He now stood outside the Yamanaka flower shop. He gulped and went in. There he saw a woman he identified at Ino's mother stand behind the desk. He walked up to her, although a little hesitantly.

"Um, I want to buy some flowers." He said and Ino's mother looked at him.

"You are Naruto-kun? Ino's boyfriend?" she asked and Naruto nodded. Ino's mother walked out from behind the desk, stood in front of him with her hands at her hips, looking at him closely. Naruto felt like he was being examined for something.

"She told me about your little threesome. If you hurt my daughter, then I'll personally hurt you. Got that?" Ino's mother said and Naruto nodded, too scared to do anything else.

"And the other is Haruno Sakura, right?" Ino's mother asked and Naruto nodded.

"Well then, I have just the flowers for you, Naruto-kun." She said and walked away. Moments later she came back with two bouquets of flowers. One of them were yellow roses, and the other were pink roses. Naruto paid and thanked Ino's mother.

"Wait here, and I'll go get Ino." Ino's mother said. A couple of minutes later she came back, along with Ino's father, who walked over and shook Naruto's hand.

"Yamanaka Inoshi." Inoshi said.

"Uzumaki Naruto." Naruto replied. They heard someone walk behind them and turned to see Ino. Naruto nearly passed out. She was stunning. Wearing a light blue kimono with a yellow obi that somehow showed of her curves perfectly. She had her hair loose, flowing down her shoulder, and had a little makeup on, not a lot but enough to enhance her beauty. Naruto's eyes were close to bulging out of their sockets.

"Well? How do I look?" Ino asked and did a little twirl.

"Ino-chan…you look…perfect." Naruto said and Ino blushed a little, while Ino's parents looked happy.

"Thank you Naruto-kun. You look good as well." Ino said. Naruto remembered the flowers and held out the yellow ones to Ino. But when he saw that Ino's mother shook her head behind Ino's back and used hand gestures to say that he should switch flowers, he hurriedly changed flowers and gave Ino the pink ones.

"These are for you Ino-chan." Naruto said and Ino smiled sweetly at him.

"Thank you Naruto-kun. Wait here while I put them in a vase." She said and hurried away.

"Now Naruto, take good care of my daughter, okay?" Inoshi said and Naruto nodded.

"I will sir." He said. Then Ino returned and they left for the Haruno residence.

"So you finally have a boyfriend huh? And it's Naruto too." Rin said, happy for her daughter.

"But when are you going to get a boyfriend? Its been so long since dad died, and you have to get out of the house and date again." Sakura said while getting ready for her date.

"Easy for you to say, but I guess you are right. I should begin dating again, and to be honest, I am in love again." Rin said and Sakura turned to her mother.

"Oh, who? Who?" Sakura asked eagerly and Rin blushed.

"You'll just think I am disgusting or something." Rin said

"No, I won't. It's Tenshi isn't it?" Sakura asked, hope full in her voice. Rin was surprised, but happy that Sakura seemed okay with it. She nodded.

"Yes, it is him, and I know he loves me too, but I am afraid." Rin said and sat down on Sakura's bed.

"Afraid of what?" Sakura asked.

"Of being in a relationship again." Rin replied and Sakura hugged her.

"Don't worry. Tenshi-sensei isn't going to hurt you." Sakura said and Rin looked at her curiously.

"Tenshi-sensei?" she asked and Sakura nodded.

"He wanted us to call him that, and besides, if he is to be your boyfriend, then I can't call him uncle, can I?" Sakura asked, but before Rin could reply, the door bell rang.

"Oh, I have to finish up. Go stall him." Sakura said and started applying makeup to her face. Rin shook her head and walked down to answer the door.

When she opened the door, she saw a handsome Naruto and a beautiful Ino.

"Hello Naruto-kun, Ino-chan. Come in. Sakura isn't quite ready yet." Rin said cheerfully.

"Geez, why is Sakura taking so long?" Ino asked and Rin giggled slightly.

"She was too busy giving me relationship advice." She said and Naruto looked at her.

"Oh, and who do you need advice about?" he asked.

"Tenshi." Rin said softly. Neither Ino nor Naruto looked very surprised.

"So, it wasn't accidentally that you slept on him?" Naruto asked and Rin blushed before shaking her head.

"Nope, I planned for that to happen." She said with a big smile on her face.

Then Sakura came down, and once again Naruto nearly passed out. Sakura wore a light pink kimono with a green obi that, like Ino's, showed off her body. Sakura had a red ribbon replacing her forehead protector and a little rouge on her cheeks.

"Sa…Sakura-chan. You look beautiful." Naruto said and Sakura blushed a little.

"Thank you Naruto-kun. Oh, for me?" Sakura said when she saw the flowers. Naruto held them out and Sakura smiled while smelling them.

"Thank you. Mom, can you put them into a vase?" Sakura asked. Without waiting for an answer, she handed Rin the flowers, hooked her arm around Naruto's and they walked out.

Rin felt oddly alone when she saw them, and decided to do something about that. She quickly put the flowers into a vase, went into her bedroom and changed into a civil version of the Jounin outfit, dark blue pants and sweatshirt with the red swirl on the shoulders. She brushed her hair and tied it into a ponytail with a sky blue ribbon before heading towards the apartment of a certain Jounin.

Naruto, Sakura and Ino walked towards the restaurant hand in hand, happy to with each other. When they reached the restaurant, Naruto handed over the reservation slip, and they were shown to their table, although the waiter didn't look too happy to be serving Naruto.

"Um, what is all this?" Naruto asked while looking at the menu.

"Food." Sakura replied.

"But Sakura-chan. They don't have ramen here." Naruto whined.

"Naruto-kun, from now on you won't be allowed to eat ramen all the time. It isn't good for you and it shunts your growth." Ino scolded and Naruto looked sad.

"Don't worry Naruto-kun. There is a lot of food that is much better than ramen." Sakura said and Naruto looked a little happier.

"So, what do you two suggest I have then?" Naruto asked, not wanting to try and understand the strange and rather large menu.

"How about this? Steak and rice." Ino suggested and Naruto nodded.

"Okay. So, what are you having?" he asked and Sakura and Ino looked at the menu again.

"I think I'll have the shrimp with salad." Sakura said.

"I'll have the vegetarian soup." Ino said, and the three of them looked around for their waiter.

"So, you three decided on what to have?" she asked when she saw that they had decided.

"Number 9, 12 and 14." Sakura said and the waiter nodded.

"And to drink?" she asked.

"Water please." Ino said and the waiter nodded.

"So, what did you learn after the warm ups today Naruto-kun?" Ino asked and Naruto puffed out his chest slightly.

"Tenshi-sensei taught me something called iaijutsu. You attack while drawing the sword. Sensei was really fast with it, I only saw a flash. What about you two?" Naruto said and the girls looked at each other.

"Sensei thought us how to draw correctly. And then he taught us a basic kata." Ino said.

"But that slashing was really hard. I never thought swinging a blade around would be so hard." Sakura said and Naruto nodded.

"Yeah, and I bet the training with Tenshi-sensei and Hayate-sensei is going to be tough as well." Naruto said and the girls nodded in agreement.

Then their food arrived and the three of them ate.

"Hey, this is really good." Naruto said eagerly and the girls chuckled at his enthusiasm.

"Have you ever eaten anything other than ramen?" Ino asked and Naruto shook his head.

"No, or wait. I have eaten Rin-nee-san's food. That was really great as well." Naruto said happily.

"Yeah, she is a great cook." Sakura said and Ino nodded while continuing the meal.

After the dinner, the three love birds walked a little around Konoha until Naruto got an idea. He grabbed the two girls and led them towards the Konoha park.

"Um, Naruto-kun?" Sakura said but he just smiled at her.

They reached a pine tree and sat down under it, Naruto in the middle with his arms around the girls, who leaned against him.

They sat there in silence for a while, just enjoying being with each other. Then Naruto remembered something.

"Um, Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked.

"Yes?" she replied.

"How would you react if Tenshi-sensei started dating your mom?" Naruto asked and Sakura grinned.

"Oh, that would be so great. They look so cute together." She said.

"She loves him, but how does he feel about her?" Ino asked.

"I don't know, but I hope he likes her the same." Sakura said

"And that they hook up soon. I stayed with Tenshi-sensei for a day after we trained together, since my apartment was trashed. His apartment didn't have any pictures or anything. Even I have more pictures and personal possessions." Naruto said.

"Perhaps he hadn't taken them out from his backpack after the trip." Sakura suggested, snuggling closer into Naruto's chest.

"I don't think so. His place really seemed empty. I don't think he has many friends." Naruto said and Ino nodded slowly.

"When I think about it, sensei doesn't seem to have much of social skills. I wonder why." She said.

"Perhaps he never learned them." Sakura suggested.

"That can't be, I have more social skills than him, and I am supposed to be hated." Naruto said, a bit of sadness evident in his voice.

"I agree with Sakura though. Sensei told us himself. He has trained all his life. He was strong enough to inflict a lot of damage on Kyuubi when he was only seven. I don't think he ever was taught social skills, only how to be a ninja." Ino said and Naruto looked down on the ground sadly.

"But why? Why would Yondaime-sama do something like that to someone he adopted as his own son?" Naruto asked.

"War." Sakura replied. When she got two questioning looks, she sighed and began to explain.

"When sensei was young, Konoha was at war. I think that sensei was trained so much so that he could become a weapon for Konoha and help during the war." Sakura finished.

"A living weapon. That sounds…" Naruto began but Ino finished

"cold." She said and both Naruto and Sakura nodded.

"Perhaps Rin can help him become a human again, if it is true that Konoha has turned him into a weapon." Ino said and Naruto straightened.

"If she can't, then we will. We will help Tenshi-ossan." Naruto announced and the two girls giggled.

"Naruto-kun, how do you do that?" Ino asked.

"Do what?" he asked back.

"Instantly brighten a situation." Sakura said and Naruto grinned his trademark fox grin.

"I don't know, guess I am a natural." he said and the two girls giggled again.

The rest of the date was spent either in silence, with the three of them just basking in each others company, or with the girls gossiping a little.

Rin stood in front of the door leading to an apartment, but not just any apartment. Tenshi's.

'Okay, I can do this. Just knock and take things from there.' Rin thought, raised her hand and knocked on the door. After a few moments, a sleepy Tenshi opened the door. His eyes widened when he saw who it was.

"Rin! Good to see you. How are you?" Tenshi asked and let Rin into the apartment.

"Tenshi, I have to speak with you about something." Rin said and Tenshi became serious.

"What is it? Is something wrong?" he asked.

"No, nothing is wrong. In fact, it is very right." Rin said and got an absent smile on her face.

"Um, okay…" Tenshi said while sitting down on the couch inside his apartment. Rin looked around.

Tenshi's apartment was a small two room apartment, the hallway lead straight into the living room, and the kitchen on the right while the only bedroom to the left. The apartment was clean, but empty. The living room had a couch for three people, a small coffee table, a chair and a TV. The kitchen was modern but slightly small, and the bedroom only had a desk, an office chair, a bookshelf and a futon. The only picture in the whole apartment was on that bookshelf, the team picture of Tenshi, Rin, Kakashi and Yondaime.

Rin shook her head sadly and sat down next to Tenshi, who by now was very curious to what she wanted.

"Tenshi, I have something to tell you." Rin said.

"Um…okay." Tenshi replied.

"Do you remember late on Saturday? You were sitting here and working on a scroll." Rin said and Tenshi nodded.

"Of course. I was…huh? How did you know I was working on a scroll?" Tenshi asked, looking suspiciously at Rin.

"Um, I was here. I, Anko and Kurenai were here. Kurenai used a Genjutsu to hide us, and then a Genjutsu to make you tell us how you feel about…me" Rin said, hesitating a little at the end. Tenshi's eyes almost bulged out of their sockets. He jumped to his feet and backed a little away from Rin, not knowing whether or not to be angry or not. Rin was first surprised by his action, before becoming slightly sad.

"I am sorry if that upset you…" she said with her head bowed, but then she stood up, looked Tenshi in the eyes, walked the two steps between them, looked up at him and gave him a tender kiss on the lips.

"But I love you as well." Rin said, smiling a genuine smile at Tenshi, who's eyes widened again. He stood frozen. That made Rin a little nervous.

"Say something." She said, trying to sound as gentle as she could.

"I don't know what to do. I….I love you too, as you already know, but what happens now?" Tenshi asked, uncertainity clear in his voice and body language. Rin giggled a little at that, and hugged him while resting her head on his chest.

"Well, I should have expected that. It is rather simple though. Either we try and forget this…" Rin said but Tenshi interrupted.

"No, not that. I don't want to hide my feelings any more. Please Rin, not that." Tenshi pleaded and Rin giggled again.

"Or we become a couple. Personally I prefer the latter." She said and looked up at him again.

"I am tired of hiding my feelings too. I want to show you how much I love you, as a girlfriend and not a pretend sister." Rin said and Tenshi smiled widely, before hugging Rin.

"Wow, I can stop feeling guilty now?" he said and she frowned.

"You have felt guilty. Why?" Rin asked.

"I didn't think my feelings were right, so I felt guilty for feeling them." Tenshi explained and Rin backed a little away.

"Don't feel guilty over loving me. Never ever do that. Okay?" she asked and Tenshi nodded. Rin smiled and hugged Tenshi again. He then placed a hand under her chin and gently lifted her head so she was looking at him. They smiled at each other.

"That felt good, I want more." Tenshi said and kissed Rin tenderly. Her eyes widened slightly, before she begun to kiss back. Suddenly Tenshi lifted Rin in the air without breaking the kiss, walked over to the couch and sat down with her in his lap, never breaking the kiss. They stayed that way, kissing and hugging, for a long while.

Meanwhile, Ino and Sakura were beginning to become a bit sleepy.

"Um, Naruto-kun? Perhaps we should head back home so we can get a good night sleep. I am sure that Tenshi-sensei and Hayate-sensei are going to push us hard tomorrow." Sakura said and Ino nodded.

"Yeah, this has been great, but I don't want to be tired before training. That would be hell." Ino said and Naruto chuckled.

"Okay, so who do I follow home first?" Naruto asked and in unison the girls nearly shouted:

"Her!"

"Okay, that didn't help." Naruto said, but the girls didn't notice it, since they were glaring at each other. Naruto sighed and thought of something. Grasping behind him, he picked up two leaves, one of them he split in two. He then held the leaves up, making it seem they were equal.

"One of them is smaller. The girl that gets that, we follow home first." Naruto said. The girls didn't see anything wrong with that, and each pulled a leaf. It was Ino who drew the short…leaf.

"Damn." She cursed while Sakura cheered about having more time with her Naruto-kun.

The three got up and walked towards the Yamanaka flower shop, Ino frowning and Sakura half dancing.

Naruto saw how they fought over him and wanted them to stop.

'Why can't they just get along?' Naruto asked Kyuubi.

"I don't know. They seem to be rivals over just about anything, including you. But I sense something underneath as well. Can I make a suggestion?" the age old fox responded and Naruto mentally nodded. Kyuubi told Naruto his plan, and in turn Naruto blushed.

'I can't do that. That's too soon.' Naruto yelled inside his own mind, but Kyuubi ignored him.

'Fine, I'll do it. And I'll even enjoy it, perverted fox.' Naruto thought as the three Genin walked together, Naruto in the middle with a arguing girl on his sides.

The three Genin arrived outside the Yamanaka flower shop, and Ino hugged Naruto.

"Thanks for a great night Naruto-kun. I really enjoyed it." Ino said. Naruto hugged her back, before hesitating slightly…then placing a soft kiss on her lips. Ino's eyes widened, before she started to enjoy herself. Sakura on the other hand, was feeling incredible jealous. Naruto was enjoying himself, but broke the kiss after a little while.

"Thanks Ino-chan. I really enjoyed it as well. I'll see you tomorrow." Naruto said, grabbed Sakura's hand and started to walk toward the Haruno residence. What he didn't see was Ino standing behind with a dazed look on her face.

"Naruto-kun, why did you kiss Ino-pig?" Sakura asked, sounding slightly hurt. Naruto turned to her and smiled his regular fox grin.

"Because we walked her home first." Naruto simply replied. At that moment, they arrived. Sakura, still hurt about Naruto and Ino kissing, walked up to her door and was about to say goodbye, when she felt Naruto's hand on her shoulder. She turned around, was about to ask what he wanted when she felt something soft and warm press against her lips. Like Ino, Sakura's eyes widened before she started kissing Naruto back. Amazingly, Naruto broke the kiss when they had kissed as long as Ino and him.

"Bye Sakura-chan. I'll see you tomorrow." Naruto said cheerfully. Sakura smiled and hugged Naruto.

"Sure thing Naruto-kun. Thanks for a great night." Sakura said and walked into her house.

Inside her home, she looked around. It was dark and silent.

'Huh? Mom is out somewhere.' Sakura thought before beginning to get ready for bed.

Naruto walked home, while gently touching his lips.

'I actually kissed them, and it felt so good. I have to kiss them more often.' He thought and nearly skipped home, riding on cloud nine in pure bliss and happiness.

The next day, Sakura woke up, but couldn't find her mother.

'Now, where is she? Perhaps a mission, but she usually leaves me a note.' Sakura thought, a little worried about Rin, but she got ready for training anyway.

Three Genin stood in front of two Jounin, one of them looking strangely happy.

"Um, Tenshi-sensei? Why are you looking so happy?" Sakura asked.

"Oh, nothing. I just had a good nights sleep. So, today we are going to train mostly with your blades, but also you are going to practise your jutsus. Begin with the usual warm up." Tenshi said. Naruto, Sakura and Ino began running. Tenshi, to Hayate's surprise, increased his weights and joined his team in their warm up. While running, Tenshi, Naruto, Sakura and Ino chatted about everyday things, but focused on the date the Genin had been on. Smiling and shaking his head at the sight of friendship between sensei and students, Hayate started preparing for teaching the kids.

That was how the week went. Team 7 did a D-rank mission in the morning, meet with Hayate at the training area, did their warm up, with and without their blades, learned the art of their blades from Hayate for most of the day, and practised their jutsus for about one and a half hours every day. They were growing stronger and faster and had to increase their weights two times that week.

In their spare time, Naruto, Sakura and Ino spent as much time together as they could. Frequently they would be seen either at the training grounds, Ichiraku ramen or at the Haruno residence, or out on a date. Tenshi also spent more time with Rin, although Naruto, Sakura and Ino didn't see that much, since the two Jounin had decided to hide their relationship for a while. The two of them trained together, spent quiet moments together whiled enjoying each others company, walked trough Konoha together and generally spent time together. Rin would also be less and less home, but tried to be home when Sakura go home, so she could be at least a little with her daughter.

On late Friday, team 7 weren't looking forward to the next day, since they would train with team 10 again.

"Do we really have to train with them?" Naruto whined while walking back to Konoha.

"Well, do you want Sasuke to surpass you and think he is better than you?" Tenshi asked.

"NO WAY! I'm not going to lose to that bastard!" Naruto yelled. Sakura and Ino smiled at that, while Tenshi and Hayate covered their ears.

"No need to be so loud." Tenshi said and Naruto grinned sheepishly.

"Well, coughI'll see you fourcough next week Hayate said and team 7 nodded before he vanished in a poof.

"I want to learn that." Ino said and Tenshi chuckled.

"You will, someday you will. But not yet. Come on, I think Rin has dinner ready." Tenshi said and the three Genin rolled their eyes. Tenshi loved Rin's cooking, apparently he couldn't get enough of it.

That Saturday, a annoyed team 7 and 10 stood in their training area, waiting for Kakashi to appear. Tenshi sighed after fifteen minutes and turned to the Genin.

"Alright you six, I am going to get Kakashi. Meanwhile you start with your regular warm ups. I don't know if team 10 has any regular routine for warming up, but my team has. Get moving and I'll be right back." Tenshi said and poofed away to go get a lazy and late Jounin. While he did that, Naruto, Sakura and Ino started to run around the training area. Sasuke, Shikamaru and Chouji watched as team 7 ran and chatted happily, clearly enjoying what they were doing, or was it that they were doing it together? Anyway, team 7 looked happy to be doing their warm up. Sasuke snorted and started punching a log. Shikamaru looked at the clouds while Chouji ate some more chips. Of course, Naruto noticed that.

"Hey girls. What do you think the team work between those three will be?" Naruto asked and the two girls looked over and saw that team 10 was basically divided in the middle.

"I don't think it will be very good." Ino said thoughtfully

"But Sasuke must be very confident if he thinks he can handle everything himself. Has he really gotten that much stronger since last time?" Sakura wondered and Naruto frowned.

"Yeah, that would explain why he doesn't bother with his team mates. Bastard thinks he is so strong that he can beat everyone. I'll show him. I don't care if he is a genius ninja, I'll surpass him!" Naruto boasted and Sakura smiled slightly at his antics while Ino giggled slightly.

"Naruto-kun, you sure are something special, you know that?" Ino said and Naruto scratched his head sheepishly.

"Um, yeah. All for you two." he said and the girls smiled at each other for that.

Then they finished with their laps, and began with the push ups and other exercises.

Tenshi was annoyed. He had to leave his team and search for the ever late Jounin, and he had trouble finding him.

"Oh, screw this." Tenshi said, before going to Kakashi's apartment, picking the lock, going inside, brought chakra to his nose and began sniffing. Once he was certain he had Kakashi's scent, he went out again, locked the door after him and began following the scent trail. It lead him to a shop containing adult…reading and…entertainment. To say Tenshi was even more annoyed was an understatement. On top of that, the smell from that shop wasn't exactly good for his nose, so he quickly stooped his chakra flow to the nose, cutting of his advanced sense of smell. Then he walked into the shop, looked around until he saw the familiar silver hair of Kakashi. Walking over, Tenshi stared at Kakashi.

He was reading the latest Icha Icha paradise edition. It had to be edition fifteen or something.

'Jiraiya sure writes a lot' Tenshi thought before clearing his voice.

"Kakashi, get you ass in motion and get to the training area." Tenshi said in a stern tone. Kakashi looked up from his book.

"Oh Tenshi. I didn't see you there. You here to buy the new edition as well?" Kakashi asked but Tenshi shook his head.

"No. Come on, I put the teams to do warm ups, they should be finished soon." Tenshi said, and rolled his eyes at the suggestion of buying a book like that. He had one edition, and after reading it, he found out three things:

One: he hated perverts

Two: he wasn't a pervert himself

Three: Rin was much prettier that the girls in that book.

"Oh, okay. I'll just buy this then." Kakashi said and made his way over to the clerk and bought the book. Still reading it while Tenshi and Kakashi walked out of the shop, Kakashi soon started giggling like a school girl.

"Well, it seems we were just in time." Kakashi stated when he and Tenshi reached the training area. Naruto and Sasuke looked ready to kill each other.

"What happened and why are you two fighting?" Tenshi asked sternly, crossing his arms and looking at the Genin.

"Sasuke-teme made Ino-chan and Sakura-chan feel bad again." Naruto said.

"Heh, if they can't take even that, then they have no business being ninja." Sasuke said, smirking slightly. Tenshi shook his head, and looked at Kakashi, who looked slightly annoyed.

"Well, what did he say?" Kakashi asked Sakura and Ino. But it was Sasuke who spoke up.

"Oh, not much. Just that they are weak and can never hope to do any good in a battle." Sasuke said arrogantly.

"Is that so? If I remember correctly, Sakura gave you a hard time in your latest spar. And also, being weak as you put it, don't you think that counts for yourself as well? I mean, you don't stand a chance against…say Kakashi for instance." Tenshi said and grinned when Sasuke growled.

"I don't care. They are weak. Going out on dates, grooming their hair and what not." Sasuke stated sourly.

"Idiot! Didn't Kakashi tell you to look underneath the underneath?" Tenshi asked angrily.

"So?" was the simple reply but both Tenshi and Kakashi shook their heads.

"We're not going to tell you. Now, if Sasuke can shut up, we can begin. Today we will be focusing on jutsus. Tenshi has told me what jutsus team 7 knows, so we have planned what to teach you today." Kakashi said in a bored tone, while reading his book.

"First we are going to teach you a move called 'Kage shuriken no jutsu'. It is similar to Naruto's Kage bunshin. What you do is throw a weapon, shuriken or kunai or something, form the seals and the weapon divides into several. One kunai can become four for instance, depending on how much chakra you put into the jutsu, the more clones. Here are the seals." Tenshi said and formed the seals slowly. Each Genin started performing them, while Kakashi and Tenshi supervised.

Later that same day, Naruto, Sakura, Ino, Sasuke and Shikamaru had gotten the jutsu down, while Chouji needed some more help. Naruto had been the first, since the Kage shuriken reminded him of the kage bunshin. Sakura and Ino had managed to do it after meditating and watching Tenshi and Naruto perform the jutsu several times for them. Sasuke had gotten the jutsu quickly, almost as fast as Naruto, and Tenshi suspected that the Uchiha bloodline had something to do with that. Shikamaru was used to shadow jutsus, and the kage shuriken weren't that difficult, or so he had told Chouji. Poor Chouji couldn't get the jutsu for some reason.

"Okay, while Tenshi and Chouji work on the jutsu, we are going to train speed and strength." Kakashi announced, to the disappointment of the Genin.

"Aw, I want to learn a new jutsu." Naruto whined and Sakura and Ino rolled their eyes slightly.

"Well, you have learned one today. That is enough for a while. Now begin with punches and kicks on a log each." Kakashi commanded and sat down on a stump and read his book.

Sakura and Ino were annoyed that the Jounin dared read that in front of them, but didn't say anything.

Three hours later, and Chouji still couldn't get the jutsu. Tenshi was frustrated.

'He's more interested in eating his chips than getting this jutsu. No wonder he can't do it.' Tenshi thought, eyeing Chouji, who happily sat on the ground, munching down bag after bag of chips. Shaking his head, Tenshi walked over to Kakashi.

"Okay, I think that is enough for today." Kakashi said and Tenshi nodded.

"Yeah, see you around." Tenshi said as Naruto, Sakura and Ino walked over. They then headed to their own training area.

"What are we going to do now sensei?" Ino asked

"I was thinking. I have started making your taijutsu better by improving your strength, speed and stamina. Your ninjutsu is also getting better and you chakra control has literally gone trough the roof. Sword fighting is also something you three are getting better at. What is left then?" Tenshi asked and Naruto squinted his eyes while thinking.

"Um, tracking and concealing?" Naruto suggested.

"Stealth training." Ino said cheerfully.

"Genjutsu." Sakura said and Tenshi chuckled.

"Well, all three of you were right. So I decided to teach you in those aspects now. starting with stealth." Tenshi said and they arrived at their training area. There he pointed to a fallen log and the three Genin sat down on it.

"Okay, now stealth is not something that you have to know jutsus to be able to do, although some jutsus help, like the musei hara no jutsu (silent field). That jutsu helps muffle sounds you make, but it is best if you become good at stealth without jutsus to help you. In order to be good at stealth, you have to be good at knowing your surroundings, using them and hiding your presence. We are going to work on that by me doing something to this area, and you three try to spot it. Okay?" Tenshi asked and the three Genin nodded. Tenshi then vanished and the three Genin started looking around the area. Nothing seemed out of place, until Naruto spotted a broken branch.

"Hah! I saw you sensei. There's a broken branch over there!" Naruto yelled while pointing to the branch. The two girls followed his gaze and smiled at him.

"Good work Naruto-kun." Ino praised

"Yeah, you got this faster than us." Sakura joined in and Naruto blushed from the praise.

"Okay, again!" Tenshi's voice came loudly, seemingly from everywhere at once and the Genin saw that the branch was back in its normal position again.

"As you probably have figured out, I'll reset the surroundings from whatever I do to it each time you find something." Tenshi's voice boomed again. The Genin resumed their observing of their surroundings. This time, it seemed as Tenshi was a little more strict. For a while, neither of the Genin could see any change in the surroundings. Then Sakura spotted a rock that was moved.

"Sensei, I spotted you." Sakura half yelled, enthusiasm clear in her voice.

"Good work Sakura. Again!" Tenshi's voice came and as by a miracle the stone was back in place.

A few hours passed with the three Genin getting increasingly better at spotting what Tenshi did to the surroundings. They had cut the time it took for them to spot the disturbance down to a third. Tenshi was very pleased.

"Very good. You three have got this very fast. I don't think we should do more today. Next week I am going to continue training you three in stealth, and I will show you a little on Genjutsu and how to counter it. But as you know, tomorrow is our day off. I already know that you think of training together. I don't think that would be smart." Tenshi said. Objections to that arose immediately.

"WHY? Can't I train with Sakura-chan and Ino-chan?" Naruto yelled

"I want to show Naruto-kun my special jutsu" Ino yelled as well.

"I'm NOT letting Ino-pig have Naruto-kun alone." Sakura yelled and a vein pooped out on Ino's forehead, pulsing slightly. Tenshi rubbed his temples and sighed.

"Shut up for a moment. What I meant was that you three should train with your family. I know that Rin wants to teach you some medical things Sakura, and I bet Inoshi wants to train Ino in their family abilities. I think that would be more beneficial for you three than to train with each other, since I think that you have to develop different skills so that you can do different task in the team." Tenshi explained and Sakura and Ino nodded, while Naruto looked slightly down. Sakura and Ino noticed and glared at Tenshi.

"What about Naruto-kun?" Ino almost growled out.

"Are you going just going to ignore him?" Sakura said, her voice forcibly calm. Tenshi chuckled while looking at the ground and the three Genin looked at him like he had grown a second head.

"What's so funny?" Ino asked. At that Tenshi looked at them, his eyes hard. He spoke, his tone not leaving any room for doubt or objection:

"Of course not. Tomorrow I will be teaching Naruto…"

Yo, Kin-Ryu Chikara here. Sixth chapter done. Heh, a little cliffhanger here and a little…okay a lot of romance. rubs head like Naruto always does

A huge typo was pointed out to me in a review. Ino isn't a Futon/Raiton type, but a Futon/Suiton. Sorry about that. Also I forgot to write her Suiton jutsu on the list. I have fixed that now though.

Also, someone told me the Rasengan is a wind jutsu. I don't think that is true, I don't think Rasengan is a elemental jutsu at all, just like the Kage Bunshin for instance. It looks like a small typhoon yes, but it isn't any wind involved, just chakra. I don't know if it is true, but in this story the Rasengan is not a Futon jutsu.

Also, I have gotten complaints on the fact that Naruto/Sakura/Ino became a "thing" too fast. I am sorry about that, but I wanted to get things moving. I am a little impatient so…sorry if I moved too fast, but as I see it, the only thing standing in the way of Sakura and Ino's feelings for Naruto, was their feelings for Sasuke, which he destroyed therefore allowing their feelings for Naruto free.
