1 Naruto Uzumaki Had Been Bested

This is the 3rd chapter of "Naruto Uzumaki Had Been Bested" and this is the mission with Ino Kiba and Hinata, or so it seems. This is where Ino realizes she really has feelings for Kiba, and where she shows everyone that she is, was, and will always be stronger then Sakura!

ENJOY

When Ino arrived at the main entrance of Konoha, she didn't realize that Naruto had followed her there to wish her a great trip.

Ino had sensed a strong presence of chakra ever since she left her apartment building, but she didn't really worry about it.

When Ino arrived at the entrance she saw that the person replacing Shino wasn't Hinata.

She was eye locked with the she devil she and Naruto had, had the trouble with at "Red's Ramen House"

The Pink haired girl spoke first, "Ino-pig, could you come help fill our packs for the trip," Sakura smirked then continued, "You won't be of any better use on this trip anyway!"

Ino walked over to the...four... packs. She immediately said "Forehead, you counted wrong," smiling when she realized that Sakura had her hair in a clip to show her Greece forehead and continued "Ow, I forgot, Bitchy house wives forget how to count when they marry the richest guy in Konoha."

Sakura frowned and remained quiet the rest of the packing time.

"Ino," said a familiar male voice from behind her, "I was told by lady Tsunade to accompany you on this long journey and to make sure no harm came upon you."

"Naruto!" Ino leapt into his arms and was overjoyed to hear that he would be going on the mission too.

"So that's why there are four bags!" She smiled brightly.

"So where's my welcome hug?" said the pink haired nuisance from behind.

"Sorry Sakura," Sakura looked prepared for a hug but was let down when Naruto stuck out his hand for her to shake.

"Yeah, its fine" she frowned and handed out all the bags.

"Where is Kiba?" said Ino as if disappointed he weren't there.

In the second she asked the question the hooded Kiba appeared from across the street and immediately collected his bag.

"Let's go team" said the brown haired boy.

"And since when did you become team caption of this mission?"said Ino in a tone or as if...jealousy? "When I signed up for this mission lady Tsunade said that I would be Caption!"

"We'll sorry for questioning your rank Princess Yamanaka!" replied Kiba in a harsh tone.

"Listen dude," began Naruto who was quickly stopped by the extended hand of Ino.

"Lets go...TEAM." said Ino while glaring at Sakura and Kiba.

On the way to the camp of Bandits, there was little to no conversation.

Then all of a sudden Kiba began talking to Sakura.

"So, Sakura-chan, have you been alright over these years, some of us have changed...," Kiba looked back at Ino walking side by side with Naruto then he continued "But, then again some of us haven't."

"Of course I have," said Sakura with a Bitchy laugh, "I can handle myself Kiba, your not surprised are you?"

The two talked and passed flirts and with every other comment Kiba would look back at Ino who knew he was looking but never looked back. Instead she would be talking to Naruto and the two would always be holding hands or kissing just in time for Kiba to see. Ino made sure of that.

When the sun was going down on the first day, Ino made commands as they reached a small lake and waterfall. "This is where we'll stay for the night, lets set up camp and be to bed by eight."

After there temporary camp was set the four went off to bed.

"Goodnight Naru-kun," the two shared a kiss which made Sakura roll her eyes and Ino look like a lost puppy, "Goodnight Ino-chan."

"Im going to go for a swim, in the lake before it gets dark," said Ino who then left.

The waterfall was beautiful, not to short and not to tall. The water was clear and Beautiful and Ino knew she could bathe in privacy due to the many surrounding trees.

She changed into her bathing suit and said with a look around the area, "Kiba," she smiled "you know you can't hide you pervert!"

Kiba stepped jumped down from the tree branch he had been shielding himself with. Shockingly he had his jacket off and was only wearing his fish net shirt.

"You know," Ino said as He stood at the lake bank staring out at her, "I saw you looking at me on our way here, trying to flirt with Sakura as if I would become Jealous," Her tone became harsh now, "We'll, if you haven't noticed, I have the beautiful Uzumaki boy, and I frankly am not in the market for a new guy!"

"Who says I care!"

A moment of silence then Ino replied "You can get in to if you want,"

Besides, Ino thought, I really want to so him with his shirt off..., NO! I have Hot, Young, Powerful, Sweet, Sexy, Naruto Uzumaki! I DON'T WANT KIBA!!

Kiba replied "Im sure you'd like that, wouldn't you?"

Ino turned and blushed in the water and quickly dove under.

Kiba quickly threw off his fish net shirt and dove in after her. When Ino Yamanaka asked you to swim with her, you didn't need to think twice.

Kiba reached In quickly where they played under water until they both ran out of breath and had to come back up to the surface.

"Kiba, you freak!" the two laughed and blushed as they realized they were enjoying themselves.

"Lets see who can catch a fish the fastest," said Kiba smiling, "We both know it will be me because my hinting skills are much better then yours."

"We'll see Kiba-kun!" The two dove under water searching for an easy fish target not realizing that they were both after the same fish.

Then two once again collided, but instead this time under water.

She wanted to hold him forever. But for now they were both running out of air.

They swam to the surface. And said nothing to each other, while they both were quietly blushing.

"Ino-chan," Ino quickly glanced back through the woods at Naruto who had made food for everyone and was calling her out of the water.

She got to the lake bank and changed back into her suit (I don't know what you call those suit things they all wear)

When she returned to camp she found that Sakura and Kiba had already gone to bed.

"So, my beauty," said Naruto in his playful tone, "How long do you think it will take us to get to Shallow Rock?"

"Maybe another two days," said Ino plainly.

Through the couples entire conversation she could only think of Kiba. The way he was always to warm, even under water. She wanted to go into the tent and lay beside him, but she was blocked by Sakura! Little Hor!

As if realizing Ino's thoughts, Naruto Grabbed Ino and pulled her off the stool she had been on. He quickly put his hands on her hips. In his tight embrace he began to kiss her the way he always had, with his soft lips.

Though she had Naruto there, right there, In her arms, at her beck and call, she still wanted him.

There was something that Kiba had, Naruto could never. She could almost feel her heart breaking for Naruto. She pulled away from him, leaving a confused and saddened Naruto standing in the cold of the night.

"I'm going to bed," Ino said not wanting to look back at Naruto for fear of hurting him anymore.

Ino saw Kiba laying in on his sleeping bag, and she took the blanket off of Sakura, "Bitch," and put it on Kiba. She in a way traded with him by taking his jacket from his pack.

She laid with his jacket smelling it and feeling his warmth from it.

Kiba was definitely the "Hottest" guy she had ever seen.

She fell asleep after a few minutes. Then was awakened by the soft sound of someone quietly laying down beside her.

She slide over to lay beside the new body. Naruto put his arm around her and she said in his ear, "Im sorry Naru-kun... Im not trying to hurt you. I just..."

Naruto kissed her and slide her closer. This kiss was a Naruto Uzumaki kiss. Ino smiled and the two fell asleep while cuddled together.
