Yamanaka Ino and Nara Shikamaru saw the blonde jounin jog towards them.
"Hey, are you two on a date?"
"No! You idiot!" Ino yelled. Naruto shrugged.
"What do you need Naruto?" Shikamaru asked tiredly.
"Oh yeah! Tsuande-baachan has a mission for you guys later. Meet her in a few hours," he said as he ran off, mumbling someting about ramen.
Shikamaru looked at Ino.
"Why did you lie to him?" Ino looked at him weirdly. Her eyes widened, she turned to see him walking away.
"Nara Shikamaru!" she screeched. Shikamaru was about to break into a run.
'Nah, too troublesome,' so he continued walking. Ino caught up with him.
"What do you mean I lied?" she asked.
"What are you talking about?" the young woman let out a frustrated growl.
"Don't answer me with a question!" she snapped. They walked in silence, until Ino's face brightened up. She grabbed Shikamaru's arm.
"Since we're on a date, let's go to the most expensive resturaunt in Konoha," she said cheerfully. Shikamaru grumbled.
"Che, troublesome women," she never notice his smirk. 'Heh, I don't know why Hyuga and Uchiha had trouble. Asking a girl out is eaiser then beating Naruto at shogi.'
