The Ninja World Chapter 2: Old friends, am I found out?, a naruto fanfic

Hi guys, second chapter! ~I got the idea of Ino being a peasant with Shikamaru being a king about half a year agowhen my History teacher was talking about peasants. Haha.~ This story might not be as nice since now is my exam period and I gotta focus on studying soo.. Nonetheless, I hope y'all still like it!

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto! Only the plot!

Ino had overheard the guard and Shikamaru's conversation and with her ninja skills, knew that he was heading towards her. She panicked even more. What to do? What to do?

She didn't dare peek out of her hat. Run into the house? Stay still? WHAAT?!

Ino finally settled for just running round to the back of her house. She heard the footsteps gain pace as well.

Then, a "kage mane no jutsu" was heard. Ino froze. Shoot!

"Hn…"

Wait.. ninjutsu? Wasn't the ninja world.. Ino trailed off. (A/N: By the way, just so you know, Ino has to work like a farmer to earn a living. That's why she has that hat.)

Shikamaru made her turn around.

"Ino? The Yamanaka Ino? Why did you run? How did you make your presence unknown all this while? Do you have any idea how long I've been looking for you? Ino!"

"Yeah, it's me. I ran because I didn't want you to see me like this. Shikamaru-sama."

"Shikamaru-sama?"

"You're the king now, Shikamaru. I, Yamanaka Ino, am a peasant!" Putting emphasis on the word peasant.

"You should go back to walking around the village, Shikamaru-sama. I don't want to keep you here any longer. Also, please release your..jutsu." She continued.

"Only if you come with me."

"No"

"Fine, then neither of us is moving from this spot."

"WHAT?! Oh alright.. I'll go."

Shikamaru smiled at this. "Come on, let's get going."

Ino was about to follow Shikamaru when.. "Wait! I have to take a bath first."

Shikamaru chuckled. "Same as always eh?"

Ino puffed out her cheeks.

"Okay.. But hurry" He yawned out.

"Jeez, you're one to talk! You're still a lazy bum! Thanks, I'll be quick! Coming in?"

"Mmyeah.." Deciding to discard a snide comment he was about to make.

Ino scurried into the bathroom to have a quick bath and got changed into a purple shirt and white shorts.

She walked out to see Shikamaru lying on her couch.*twitch*

"Shikamaru-sama.." No reaction.

"Shikamaru.." She tried again without the honorific. Still nothing! Sadly,that was her limit.

"NARA SHIKAMARU! WAKE THE PANCAKES UP!"

Shikamaru shot up. "What? Troublesome woman.."

"I'll let that remark slide for now. Let's go!" Changing into her bubbly character.

"I want to go home and sleep.. Why must a king walk around so much..?" Of course he knew the answer to that. He's a genius, curses.

"Hey Shikamaru-sama?"

"Drop the honorific Ino.. Yes?"

"Okay, why did you use a jutsu? I thought it was.. you know.. like over?"

"Just admit it Ino. You want the ninja world back too. Even Choji does."

"Well, yeah of course I do." Ino replied, while waving to a friend.

Then, as they entered another part of the village, she saw Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke and Hinata. (A/N: In the story, Sasuke is back)

"Is that.. Hey forehead, Hinata!" Ino called out.

Shikamaru turned his head to see the four.

"Ino-pig?! Shikamaru!"

"Umm yeah. That's me." Shikamaru rubbed the back of his head.

While the girls went squealing on about how long they've not seen each other, Shikamaru walked over to Naruto and Sasuke.

"Hi Shikamaru! How's the king been doing?"

"Hey Naruto, Sasuke too. The work is super troublesome.. So much work."

"Oh" With Sasuke being as quiet as usual.

The three looked at the girls with raised eyebrows. How do they manage without a minute of silence?

Shikamaru looked up at the sky in an attempt to cloud watch. Naruto and Sasuke both looked up at the clouds too, trying to keep themselves busy.

"Hey! I think that's.. a rabbit!" Naruto yelled, pointing at a particular cloud.

"Uh huh. You sure you know what's a rabbit Naruto?"

"Dobe."

"I do!" Naruto protested.

"Anyway, I want to finish this walk as soon as possible. See ya guys."

Shikamaru walked straight to Ino and yawned. "Ready yet?"

"Nope! Give me half an hour!"

"What!? No way, we're off now." Without waiting for her reply, he started walking off.

"Bye Shikamaru!" Naruto yelled.

"Hey, wait up! Sorry girls, have to get going! I'll see you soon!" Ino ran after Shikamaru.

"Bye pig!"

"O-okay Ino-chan!"

Ino grinned in return.

"How much longer Shikamaru?"

"Ask the guards.."

"Gah okay!" Ino turned around. "How much longer mister?"

"One more village and back to the palace mam." One guard replied. By the sound of his voice, he was the one who almost bumped into Shikamaru.

"Then let's hurry! It's what.. almost time for dinner."

"Agreed." Shikamaru nodded.

Both started walking at a very fast pace, until they came to a stop at the other part of the village.

The guards had a hard time catching up with them. After all, they weren't ninjas.

They continued their journey through the village till Shikamaru spotted two brown buns, bushy brows and a guy with long hair tied back in a low loose ponytail.

Shikamaru raised a brow and stopped in his tracks.

Ino seemed to notice and turned her head to where Shikamaru was looking.

"Tenten! Lee! Neji!" Ino gasped.

"Hmm..?" Tenten hummed. "Ino! Long time no see!"

"Hello Ino-san!" Lee yelled. Heh, loud mouths like Naruto..

Neji nodded in greeting.

Ino and Tenten exchanged hugs before Tenten pointed to the guards.

"Who're they?"

"Shikamaru's guards."

"Ahh.." Tenten scanned them over. "I wonder if they know how to use weapons properly.."

"Missing the ninja times Tenten?"

"You bet!"

"YES! THE YOUTHFULLNESS NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT BACK TO THE WORLD!" Lee butted in.

"I need training" Neji simply said.

"And I need more sleep.."

They all turned to Shikamaru.

"Lazy bum!"

"Sleep?"

"YOU DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH YOUTHFULLNESS SHIKAMARU!"

"…"

"What? People need their sleep right?"

They just stared at him incredulously. No duh, but you have too much.

"Okay.. Till next time guys." Shikamaru called before pulling Ino towards the palace.

"Bye! Hold on Shikamaru, why am I going to the palace?"

"Because I said so?"

"And?"

"Because I'm king" Shikamaru teased.

Ino rolled her eyes. "Am I staying there?"

"Well, do you want to?"

"Hmm.. why not? Choji's there too right?"

"How'd you know?"

"Um.."

It's longer as promised! Woah, the previous chap was 400+ words, this one has 1,000+! I personally didn't think it's very good.. . Not that I'm being negative.

R&R constructive criticism appreciated!
