(Location: inn local town somewhere in river country territory)

Sakura just got up from her bed although it was too early in the morning to wake up. She just needed to stretch or maybe it was the fact that she couldn't sleep because she was having dreams. They were more like sexual fantasies involving her and a certain tall blond leader. She blushed trying so hard to erased any of the indecent yet pleasurable moments it making her feel hot just thinking about it. She finally ignored the perverted dreams as she got up from her bed and headed to the bathroom hoping not to wake up Ino. Both kunoichis were sharing a room since Hinata was sharing another room with Naruto but she knew the Hyuga heiress will behave and she wasn't going to rape their leader like a certain Yamanaka. She made a soft yawn since she was still sleepy before reaching the door to the bathroom, she turned the doorknob. She opened the door not hearing the soft moaning that was coming from inside the bathroom. She gazed at the bathroom and she realized that she wasn't alone in the room her jade eyes widened.

"Ooooohhh….mmm yeah feels good ooohhhh….."

"Ino?!" Sakura was shocked.

The pink haired kunoichi was in shocked at the sight before her. In front of her stood Ino who was seated in the toilet with her panties down. The Yamanaka had one hand fondling one of her breasts and the other one was between her legs touching her crotch the sight alone was enough for Sakura to realize what her best friend was doing. The Yamanaka stopped her solo performance and she was ready to reach her peek before she was interrupted by one of her teammates calling her name. The two kunoichis stood looking at each other at the awkward yet embarrassing moment, it wasn't long before one of them reacted. Ino's eyes widened as she turned red she finally lost her inspiration for doing her solo act completely embarrassed that her best friend has caught her in the act she blushed hard.

Sakura gulped she was still blushing" oops….okay…."

"Ahhh Sakura get out right now!!!"

"Sorry sorry I'm sorry!!!"

Sakura quickly closed the door still blushing while panting she could hear Ino complaining and cursing because he caught her with her hands on the cookie jar. Yet she was hoping that she was having a reallt bad dream and she will eventually wake up screaming by now. It was too good to be true that it wasn't a dream and she still couldn't believe what she just saw, she never thought witness something like that especially from her best friend.

'Oh my….was she….masturbating?!'

(Time skip)

Sakura has changed to her civilian clothing and they were ready because they were going to meet up with Naruto and Hinata for breakfast. She sighed still feeling uncomfortable for what happened earlier with the Yamanaka. After Ino left the bathroom she didn't even gazed at her due to the fact that she was still embarrassed and bothered for the caught in the act matter. The platinum blond was pretty much annoyed that her best friend of all people saw her pleasuring herself truly embarrassing from her point of view. Nevertheless Sakura needed to apologize for seeing her doing a solo act when it's considered to be done in sheer privacy. She saw her entering the room wearing her civilian clothing she still wasn't looking at her in the eye she was really bothered. She wasn't going to let this continue any longer Ino was her best friend and she wasn't going to jeopardize her friendship with the Yamanaka, she has vowed to never repeat the mistakes of her past. She got next to her who was finishing packing her things not giving the pink haired medic a second glance.

"Ino I'm sorry."

"I'll say next time you should knock before entering. You know you weren't the only one in the room" the platinum blond frowned not looking at her in the face.

Sakura sighed feeling terrible for her mistake before she went to finish packing her things. They needed to leave the inn so they could meet up with their leader and Hinata. She didn't said another word knowing that Ino will probably snapped at her or worst right now she didn't wanted to get her more upset than she already is. It seems she has screw up in her friendship with the Yamanaka again she only hope that they can fix their relation and move on like they once did for fighting over Sasuke when they were twelve. However by now Ino wasn't angry she was just a little down she gazed at the pink haired and felt sorry for her after all she cared a lot for the pink haired kunoichi. She was her best friend and one of her closest friends she wasn't going to ruin their friendship for something that it wasn't really her fault.

"Look Sakura don't get down about it okay, I'm sorry for getting in a bad mood with you."

Sakura smiled hearing that" it's all right but you're right I should have knocked on the door before entering and for that I'm sorry I wasn't even looking straight because I was sleepy my bad."

"Apology accepted" Ino smiled resuming her packing before she gazed back at the pink haired medic" so aren't you going to rub it in my face?"

"Huh what?" Sakura gazed back at the blond.

"You know you're not going to make fun of me calling me a pervert for touching myself?" she felt very embarrassed about the whole thing.

The pink haired kunoichi smiled" well you are a pervert we can thank Anko-san for that but I won't do such thing Ino. I'm a medic nin I am well aware that masturbation is a perfectly normal thing men as well as women masturbate its normal that we choose to release our sexual needs by ourselves when we feel our sexual urges. So don't feel so embarrassed about it."

"Thanks but please don't say…"

"Don't worry I won't say a word to Naruto and Hinata this will be just between us" replied Sakura smiling.

"Thanks"

"So Ino?" asked Sakura seeing that the Yamanaka resumed with her packing she blushed a little" were you….I mean when you were….masturbating were you thinking about….Naruto?"

"No duh who do you think I was thinking about Sasuke?" the Yamanaka replied with a hint of amusement.

Sakura nodded the blush was still present in her face" was it…..good?"

"Huh you're kidding?" Ino went to her looking rather shocked" of course it felt good why you would even ask me that?!"

"It's nothing my bad for asking" Sakura resumed her packing but Ino stopped her looking at her shocked.

"Sakura….have you masturbated before?"

"No I haven't" she replied softly feeling embarrassed although she didn't know why.

"You're kidding….so you never had an orgasms before?" the platinum blond was still shocked.

"No I haven't it's not a big deal."

"It may not be a big deal but why haven't you done it already?"

"You're saying it like I have to do it automatically like I didn't have a choice!" Sakura got annoyed at her comment.

"I'm not saying it like that Sakura its jut weird. You said it yourself masturbation is a perfectly normal thing to do so why haven't you done it?" this time Ino was worried about her friend" I mean if you feel any urges and you want to release your sexual need then it's okay if you feel like it. Nobody is obligating you to do it this is a personal matter that you decide on your own."

"I'm glad you understand and that's why I have chosen not to do it because I don't feel like it. Besides I never thought about masturbating before you know very well I was always busy in my training with Tsunade-sama, doing errands for her and doing shifts at the hospital."

"Really?" the Yamanaka grinned" if that's true then why did you asked me if it feels good?"

"Well I…I was just curious that's all…"

"Yeah right I think you want to give it a try but you don't have the guts to go through with it."

"I mean it I don't feel like it!" Sakura pouted.

"Fine whatever you say but you did asked me how good it feels and I will tell you. It feels so good Sakura like a pleasurable explosion hits your body, every action and sensation is amazing. When I slid my fingers in and out of my pussy, rubbing my clitoris and touching my own breasts it's so good. It gets even better when I'm thinking its Naruto the one doing all of those actions to me it gets me so wet it's the best and most wonderful sensation ever!" Ino said with a dreamily sigh and blushing.

"Sure whatever…." the pink haired medic mumbled blushing although she was annoyed.

Suddenly Ino grinned as she wrapped her arms around Sakura holding her tight shocking the pink haired kunoichi a lot" Ino what are you doing?!"

"Shh it's all right Sakura you're my best friend and since you don't have the guts to masturbate then…"

Sakura gasped as the Yamanaka's hand reached her pants and her hand slid down reaching her panties. She blushed as she started shaking in anticipation but she knew this was so wrong there was no way she was going to let her do something like that to her although it felt so right.

"Ino?" she said in a warning tone.

"Shhh…just relax and let me give you that helping hand you will love it very much I promise" the platinum blond whispered seductively giving her a warm smile.

Before Sakura stop her from giving her a solo act Ino removed herself away from her laughing while she was puzzled by her action" got ya just kidding!"

"Huh?" Sakura blinked.

"Come on you don't seriously believe that I was actually going to give you a helping hand in pleasuring yourself?" the blond controlled her laughter.

That was enough to make Sakura upset" what….you why you?!"

"Whoa easy Sakura why are you angry with me don't tell me you wanted my helping hand?" Ino smirked seeing the pink haired kunoichi blushing.

Sakura gave a frustrated growl before finishing packing taking her backpack" I'm leaving I will see you outside with Naruto and Hinata!" she left the room.

The Yamanaka couldn't help but laughed seeing her expression it was truly priceless she finished her packing taking her backpack leaving the room still laughing' sometimes it's so fun to tease her.'

(Time skip)

Ino catch up to Sakura at the entrance of the inn which the pink haired medic was still upset with her not funny and inappropriate joke of helping her masturbate. They saw Naruto and Hinata who were also dressed in civilian clothing. The two ninjas were having a conversation which the Hyuga heiress was really enjoying it a lot. She was gazing at her blond leader with a warm affectionate gaze like she was daydreaming to be actually talking to him. When in truth she was going to cherish these memories for the rest of her life just like every single one she has had with him since he returned to Konoha after his five year depart. It couldn't be help that Hinata has grown more affectionate for Naruto just like both Sakura and Ino. In the past two months since they became team Kitsune Flash the three kunoichis have grown very fond and attach to their leader. It wasn't just their feelings for the blond leader but they have also grown closer to one another. Sakura, Ino and Hinata have developed a deep friendship with one another anyone would guess that they behave like they were sisters.

It wasn't just their bond that grew stronger but their popularity as well. In two months team Kitsune Flash has become one of the most fear and respected groups in the five countries. Those who feared them have written their information into bingo books with Kitsune Flash still being a dangerous S rank target and Huntress, Temptress and Mistress were marked as A rank targets. Kitsune's bounty was still the same insane amount while the three mask kunoichis had a bounty of one million ryou each. As for Naruto he couldn't be any happier with his team and he admitted that he has grown very close with the three kunoichis. His perverted side was even happier because it will be a pervert's dream to be traveling with three beautiful girls who were very developed in body language. He has forged a deep bond with his team and he didn't want it any other way. Although he didn't know what he was feeling for the three kunoichis there were strong feelings but he didn't know what they were. Of course he like them they were his team and his friends but was there something more than friendship going on.

The two kunoichis came to them ending Naruto and Hinata's discussion they can finally get going to their destination.

"Hey Naruto!" Ino said smiling.

"Hey morning Ino and Sakura" the blond noticed that Sakura didn't look happy at all" Sakura what's wrong?"

"It's nothing I'm fine" she replied giving a smile but she was still bothered with Ino's rude joke.

"Did something happened?" asked Hinata who got a little worried with expression.

"Nothing happened are we going to get some breakfast?" Sakura started walking away.

"Yes we are" replied Naruto watching her leave "what's with Sakura?" he looked at Ino.

"She's just upset because I kind of play a prank on her" the Yamanaka smirked.

"I should it know" replied the tall blond with a sigh.

"It must have been a mean prank Ino-san, Sakura-san looks awfully upset" Hinata said.

"It was just an innocent prank honest" the platinum blond said in a convincing tone.

"Hey are you guys coming or not?!" Sakura shouted from the distance to her teammates and leader.

"Yeah let's get going guys!" Naruto said as they followed the pink haired medic into the streets.

(Location: dango shop local town river country territory)

The people were happily enjoying eating their dangos while other we're enjoying other plates. Besides selling dango the shop also sell all kinds of food and snacks like rice balls, biscuits among others. A couple of thugs who looked very suspicious went to the counter while they were gazing around making sure there was no one around who might pose a threat. They were lucky since there was no one fitting that category, there were more old people and children so they could take action for what they have in store. They reached the counter seeing the attendant who was an old woman it was going to be a piece of cake, they also noticed that they only have waitress easy targets indeed. The old woman saw them and smile even if she was thinking for them to come to her to order instead of waiting in one of the tables.

"Hello what can I get you?" asked the old woman.

"I'm sure you can help me" the thug leader grinned" you can start by taking all the money you have!"

The leader took out a gun making the people eating at the shop gasped in shocked. The old woman was scared as she started trembling fearing the worst the truth that her shop was about to get rob. The other two thugs took out two katanas while their leader was holding the gun making him the bigger threat. The people at the shop along with the waitresses were scared falling into panic they wanted to leave but they were too scared to do anything. They were afraid that the leader will start shooting his gun and his two thugs will start slicing and dicing everything in their path. The leader grinned at the old woman who was ready to have a heart attack.

"Now let's do this nice and steady if you all cooperate I promise me and my boys will leave peacefully and no one will get hurt."

"Please don't hurt anyone I beg of you I'll do whatever you say…." replied the scared elder woman.

"Good that's more like it we are getting somewhere" the leader hand her a large bag" place all the money you have in the bag now!"

The old woman nodded as she opened the cash register and started putting all of ryou she had in the large bag while the other thugs were getting a little inpatient seeing the panicked faces of the people. Both gave a quick glance at their swords which were very shining since they have sharpened them up and they just got the urge to test how sharp they have gotten.

"Hey boss?" one of the thugs asked" I know you said that no one will get hurt if they cooperate but how about if you let us test our swords I want to see how deep it can cut into someone's flesh?"

The people started panicking more hearing that while the other thug grinned" I agree boss we didn't got the chance to test their sharpness how about you let us take someone from the audience?"

The leader grinned" not now you two everything is going well you can test your swords when we find a nearby animal as food or better yet. Attention everyone who doesn't leave right now will die!"

That was enough to make every single person in the shop to leave running screaming for their lives while the thugs were chuckling in amusement at the sight. The old woman was done putting all of the money handing it to the leader who grinned at her and they were finally ready to make their leave.

"Pleasure doing business with you granny"

They left the counter when they stopped in their tracks noticing that the shop wasn't as empty as they thought. On one of the tables stood four people, one was an old man wearing a yukata as well as three old ladies and they were all eating their meal like nothing has happened. It's like the whole thing robbery didn't affected them at all which it was weird coming from a couple of elderly people. The thugs weren't going to stand there and do nothing about it because they felt intimidated that a couple of old prunes didn't got scared from their threat.

"Looks like these guys have some hearing problems" one of the thugs said.

"Hey you four didn't you heard me I say that those who doesn't leave will die?" the leader said.

The old people were still eating their meal before the leader got ticked off as he pointed the gun to the old man but the old women didn't reacted at all and resumed their eating.

"Hey gramps do you have a death wish?!"

"Please don't hurt them!" the old woman said from the counter.

Finally the old man looked at him" I don't have one but what you just did is wrong. How about if you take the money you took back to the nice lady before you get in trouble with me?"

The thugs started laughing at his comment while the old ladies were looking at them and they looked like they wanted to beat the living crap out of them.

"What are you going to do about it grandpa?" asked the leader laughing.

"We'll kick you asses!" spoke one of the old women sounding so much younger than her age.

POOF!!!

The thugs were surprised to see that the old man and the old ladies were covered in smoke before it finally faded revealing their true faces. They turned paled seeing four mask figures wearing fox masks and they didn't look happy. However they were more scared when they recognized their clothing that wouldn't recognize them. They have heard so much about them how dangerous they were and they were the last opponents they wanted to face. They tremble in fear just looking at them it was like they have been paralyzed by their appearance, they weren't the only ones the old cashier was scared too she also knew who they were.

The leader took a step back scared beyond belief" those….those masks it's you people?!"

"It's them….it's team Kitsune Flash!" one of the thugs said.

"How about you guys return the money you stole to the nice old lady before we get angry with you people, and trust me you don't want to see us when we're angry" Naruto said with a grin.

"If you value your lives you won't make us angry" Ino said in a serious tone.

"This reminds me the last person that made us angry well….his fate wasn't very pleasant not in the least" Sakura said in an evil tone obviously she was just playing her role in scaring them.

"Just return the money and we'll go easy on you" Hinata replied her tone wasn't so evil like Sakura's.

The leader nodded putting the bag of money down" sure thing whatever you say let's get the hell out of here!"

"Right behind you boss!"

They started running for their lives leaving the dango shop until they were tied up by a snake wrapping its body around them. The snake came from Ino's sleeve as she was grinning holding the robbers who were nothing but cowards, compare to opponents they have face these guys were hardly a challenge at all.

"Good job Temptress keep them tied up" Naruto said.

"Roger"

The mask mercenary took the money bag and walked to the counter handing it to the old woman" here you go mam no need to thank us we were just doing what was right. We just can't stand seeing how unfair is for people to robed a dango shop."

"Yeah these guys are nothing but scum" Sakura said looking at the thugs.

"Here's your money back that and that no one was hurt and that's what matters" Naruto said before he noticed that the old woman was still trembling" is there something wrong?"

"Please….don't get any closer" she replied scared.

"What are you talking about I'm not going to hurt you?" replied the blond while the three kunoichis went to the counter.

"You're not going to devour my soul?"

Naruto face faulted hearing that while the mask kunoichis were holding their laughter it was always the same when they meet someone. They would fear their leader because of the rumors they have heard so much about him.

Naruto got up looking at the old woman" please mam don't listen to any ridiculous rumors you hear about me especially that one because they're not true."

"Then it's not true that you have a bottomless stomach either?" she replied.

"Nope that one is true" Sakura said with a smirk as the kunoichis started laughing while Naruto sweat dropped.

The mask mercenary sighed" anyway I return the money back to you and be careful next time. You never know when trash like these might come to your shop."

"Thank you I am very grateful for your help I guess you're not as bad as the rumors say" replied the old woman.

"Kitsune-kun just fight for what is right" Hinata said.

"Well let's get going and take out the trash" Naruto said taking the three tied up thugs who were still scare at his presence leaving the shop.

Once they were outside of the dango shop Naruto dropped the three thugs and gazed at his team" all right team I have some business to take care off I doubt they will give me some money for bringing these guys. I also have to meet up with one of pervy sage's spies so I won't come back for a while, why don't you guys have a look around town?"

"That's a great idea I've wanted to look around the shopping district" Sakura said.

"Me too" Hinata replied.

Ino wrapped her arms around her leader pressing her body against his making sure it takes effect" mmm…Kitsune-sama how about after you're done with your business we can go and spend some quality time together? You know have a walk around have a conversation and maybe we could…well you know?" she grinned as she started playing with his whiskers marks.

Naruto was blushing as he felt the Yamanaka's fingers playing with his whiskers and he admitted it felt pretty damn good although he was getting a little nervous. Sakura and Hinata were looking at their teammate with jealousy in their eyes they didn't like it when she starts flirting with their leader. Sometimes it made them think that they should flirt with the tall blond too to get his attention. Ino was smiling loving playing with his whiskers waiting eagerly for his answer but suddenly Naruto was a little rude as he removed himself from her looking nervous. It made her wonder why would he do such thing she wasn't hurting him and it couldn't be that he didn't like what she was doing to him.

"No thanks Temptress maybe next time well I'll see you guys later. Don't stay too late wandering around" the blond replied taking the thugs and leaving the group.

"Don't worry Kitsune-sama we won't!" Sakura said loudly since Naruto was already too far away.

"What was that all about?" Ino said watching her leader from the distance she was obviously talking about his sudden action in removing himself from her hold and rejecting her offer to go spend time with her, in other words a date.

Sakura already knew what she was talking about" I don't know Temptress maybe he's dazzle by your womanly charms" her comment made Hinata giggled a little.

"What's that suppose to mean?" Ino gazed at her teammate not liking her comment one bit.

"Seriously Temptress you don't know?"

"No…."

Sakura sighed" isn't it obvious he's afraid of you?"

"Afraid?" the Yamanaka felt a little hurt.

"You're always trying to jump on him like you want to get into his pants it probably makes him feel uncomfortable being around you. Any other guy would fear you too" although she was telling the truth Sakura didn't meant to say the comment as a way to hurt her feelings.

"I see…..but wait what about you Mistress you also think I'm always trying to jump on Kitsune-sama just to get into his pants?"

Hinata stood quiet not knowing how to answer her. In truth she was never the kind of person to lie she was quiet but when it came down to say her opinion she was always honest. This was probably one of those times she didn't wanted to add her opinion in the matter because she wasn't good at lying it will only complicate things more by saying a fake statement. She sighed seeing that the Yamanaka was awaiting her answer.

"Temptress….I'm sorry I do agree with Huntress maybe you should take it slow with Kitsune-kun there is no need to rush things."

"I see…." Ino replied feeling worst than before.

"Cheer up Temptress I'm sure Kitsune-sama will ask you out next time don't get so down about it" Sakura said trying to make her friend feel better but it wasn't helping at all, the damage has been to the platinum blond.

"Sure I guess" she replied not sounding too excited.

"Hey Temptress were going back to the inn to change were going to the town's shopping district are you coming with us?" Sakura said ready to leave with Hinata.

"Nah you guys go on ahead without me….I will change later" Ino said she was still not sounding happy.

Both Sakura and Hinata got worried for their friend noticing that she wasn't her cheery self something was bothering her and they knew what it was all about. However they figure out that she needed some time to think for herself everyone needed their space sometimes. But it didn't meant that they like it they weren't comfortable with the idea of leaving her especially Sakura who was her best friend and she knew the Yamanaka better than anyone. Sakura gazed at Hinata who looked back at her they nodded going with the decision to give her some space for her.

"Sure okay…" Sakura replied as they left leaving the platinum blond alone.

The mask kunoichi stood alone on the street thinking for herself her friend's words were enough to wake her up and see the truth about herself. She was hurt by the truth thinking about the way Naruto shrugged her off it only confirmed her worst fears. What Sakura told her was true and the evidence was her leader and the object of her affections have left her hanging dry with her offer to go out with her. She didn't cry she stood in deep thought her mind was only focused on the tall blond who she has come love and adore for a long time now. The fact that he got nervous and didn't want her to be by his side broke her heart but there was another thing that hurt her the most, the key element what Sakura said.

'He's afraid of me?'

(Location: local bar town somewhere in green country territory)

Jiraiya took another sip from the bottle of sake he ordered while Itachi was drinking some green tea since he was never a fan of alcohol in the first place. Their behavior was rather frustrating at least for Jiraiya while the older Uchiha stood quiet with his usual calm expression but he felt like frustration was going to hit him. The reason of their mood is because they have been searching for Kushina for two months and they still haven't located her yet. Even with Itachi's expert skills in tracking and Jiraiya's spy network information they couldn't get a lead on the red head kunoichi. It seems she was skilled in hiding since they couldn't find anything on her. They have searched through the Forests Mountains and every city or town but they haven't found anything it was becoming annoying to some point. They also asked people around if they have seen her, thank goodness Jiraiya has a picture of Kushina back when she was together with Minato. He knew it wasn't going to be easy but this was beyond complicated he just needed a break and some research, the last thing caused to give a small grin. So here they were quiet and enjoy their drinks at least for the toad sanin Itachi was quiet with his usual expression that didn't said anything.

Itachi took another sip from his tea he was well aware that the people of the bar were staring at him. It seems they have recognized him they knew who he was after all he was a dangerous missing nin and well know across the five countries. Even if Tsunade erased his name from the bingo books he was still considered a threat by everyone. These were the consequences for sacrificing his own blood for the sake of Konoha which it has never bothered him before. The people of the bar weren't stupid knowing that causing a conflict will most likely end up looking for their own deaths for picking a fight with the prodigy of the Uchiha clan. They have heard so many stories of him that he was a merciless monster with cold eyes who didn't felt anything, he was immune to emotions. At the same time some of the young women from the bar weren't afraid of him but they were contemplating how handsome he is and very soon they started getting perverted fantasies with the older Uchiha making them blush. Jiraiya was aware of their staring but he didn't let it get to him because he also had a very big reputation as one of the legendary sanins plus ultimate womanizer and pervert. He poured more sake in his glass before giving a sigh sharing his thoughts with the man seated in front of him.

"This has to be the hardest mission I have ever had way harder than fighting Salamander Hanzo. I knew it was going to take us a while to get any leads on her but two months that's a little too long for a search mission."

"No one said this was going to be easy, finding someone who was presumed dead isn't just an ordinary search mission. There is a reason how she was able to maintain hidden all this time without being tracked" Itachi said.

"So that people like us don't find her or people like Danzo and ROOTS. I guess I shouldn't be so surprise Kushina is a strong kunoichi and one of a kind, she knows very well how to hide her chakra signature very well not even the best chakra sensor will be able to find her."

"She's really that strong?" asked the older Uchiha.

The toad sanin chuckle" you have no idea Kushina became an exceptional kunoichi during her hard training at the hidden whirlpool village. At first she wasn't much because of her lack to control her chakra" Jiraiya paused making sure no one was eavesdropping on them the topic was private" you see the Uzumaki bloodline is important and unique."

Itachi was now caught in the conversation hearing that" they have a bloodline?"

Jiraiya nodded" they do although one can consider it's not much. It's not a dojutsu or any effective bloodline out there, you see those in the Uzumaki clan had the bloodline to have the biggest amount of chakra no regular human being can have. Their stamina combine with their large amount of chakra is the living proof of the Uzumaki bloodline Minato although he didn't had a bloodline Naruto inherited Kushina's bloodline explaining why he has so much stamina and chakra. Both Naruto and Kushina I think with their chakra levels they could probably create over a million shadow clones put together."

"I see…." replied the Uchiha' then Kisame must have been an exception with his chakra level.'

"Kushina became a genin when she was eleven and became a chunin when she was thirteen. She was shortly promoted to jounin when she turned fifteen and finally she became ANBU at seventeen, however she left ANBU and went back been a jounin a year later she like the rank more since she wasn't the kind of person who enjoyed killing. I remember how happy she was when she got together with Minato, I can't blame her though she went through a lot because of the third ninja war."

"You mean her village was destroyed?" replied Itachi.

The toad sanin nodded" whirlpool village was attacked during the end of the third war, the ninjas from whirlpool fought hard and brave and managed to killed a majority of stone ninjas as well as ninjas from mist but in the end they were all killed and the village was burned to the ground. It was wiped out of the map and the only thing that is left are the ruins of the village as well as the graveyard from all those brave souls that fought in the battle, it was the third Hokage's ordered to make a graveyard for the people of whirlpool it was his way of honoring their memory."

"Kushina is the only survivor of hidden whirlpool she and Naruto-kun are the last of the Uzumaki clan."

"That's right Minato he eventually found out what happened at whirlpool and didn't thought twice to go there. He was lucky to find Kushina injured at the outskirts of the village she was saved and he brought to her to Konoha to start her new life there. The signed papers making Kushina a citizen of Konoha but she wasn't made a ninja, my guess is that he didn't wanted to find out that she was originally from whirlpool and not risked her life. So in secrecy he let her continued her training which Kushina didn't argue with his decision. A couple of months later she and Minato got together those two were so close it was obvious those two had something more than just friendship I always knew that they were going to hook up."

Jiraiya was holding his glass of sake with a smile. Nostalgia has hit him in the best way ever remembering the past. The times when his student was still alive and he was together with Kushina were probably the happiest days he experienced in his life. To believe that the red head was still alive only made him feel so happy, the joy of having someone he considers as family still living in this world made him feel good to be alive. He drank his glass of sake enjoying the taste as it hit the spot this is what he needs to erase his stress with the rate of the mission.

"You should go easy on the sake" Itachi said.

The toad sanin chuckle" I can control myself over the sake so I don't get drunk you're confusing me with Tsunade. I just hope this mission doesn't take us another month or so."

"She's not in this country according to my scouting using shadow clones and my crows."

"We also checked in every town and asked every single person about her but they don't know anything about her. Looks like Kushina is really hiding and preventing from revealing herself to anyone in order not to raise any leads of information about her whereabouts. Also one of my spies that is working undercover in this town hasn't gained any information about her, my spy network is working like it has never worked before"

"What should we do now?" asked the older Uchiha" we know Naruto-kun's current location we can go to him and keep an eye out for her since she's keeping tabs on him."

"That is the most reasonable and logical thing to do but we can't. If we go to Naruto's location Kushina won't come into the open to us just like that, plus Naruto will become suspicious of her identity. We can't tell him the truth that should be Kushina's job it's better that she confronts him and tells him the truth."

"Then our only chance is to continue searching for her ourselves like we have been doing for the past two months."

"We always have to do the hard way we don't have a choice" he finished his glass as he got up" let's get going."

Itachi nodded he has finished drinking his tea. Jiraiya left the money on the table before they left the bar heading into the streets. They walked without saying a word not knowing what will be their next move which should be head to another country and continue with their search. But right now after spending an entire a long time in their search they were weary and tire since they haven't had a rest in a while. He just wanted to rest or to spend some time with some sexy ladies. Doing some research will be enough to help him relax especially if he does see voluptuous bodies on the hot baths. But he wasn't alone and Itachi wasn't the kind of person to peep like him so he needed to think about something else, by now his perverted urges were kicking into high gear. He already made his decision where he was going now he hoped that he was almost there.

"Let's take a break Itachi."

"Shouldn't we continue our mission we already wasted enough time here?"

"We've been into the searching mission without taking a rest I think we deserve a rest after all the work we've been doing. Besides I can tell you're always calm and quiet but even someone like you has his limits and you're tire just like me, let's take today off we can continue with the mission tomorrow."

The older stood which Jiraiya took it as a yes. He grinned when they reached the one place he has been looking for seeing the make out pub building. He knew there was one in this town after all he has the map of every single make out in the five countries which it he gave a copy to his successor Naruto. He could imagine all of the hot babes waiting for him inside of the building and best of all they ladies would allow him to be touched without getting smacked or punched by them. All of them were gorgeous and almost all of them had gorgeous bodies that would make him have tons of nosebleeds. He grinned like the good pervert that he is thinking all of the hot and juicy possibilities he really needed this. All he needed to do is convince the gentlemen next to him to go to the make out pub bar and the fun will begin.

"What are we going to do now?" Itachi said he was feeling a little relief that they were taking a rest he knew Jiraiya was right about their restless searching.

Jiraiya stopped walking his eyes never leaving the building of the make out pub before he turned to the older Uchiha" since we already had a drink why don't we have some fun, you know some entertainment."

"I will not be joining you to your so called research" Itachi's replied was serious while he was frowning.

"No that's not it what I had in mind although that was a good guess of you, just follow me" he started walking towards the make out pub.

The older Uchiha immediately halted his tracks when he saw the building where the toad sanin was heading and he didn't like it one bit. He knew that traveling with Jiraiya had some drastic consequences such as seeing him peeping to the hot baths or like he calls it doing his research and going to make out pub bars. Perhaps the toughest mission was not to search for Kushina but rather stop the toad sanin from doing his perverted actions while they were in the middle of their mission. He may be a strong ninja but his behavior wasn't acceptable and appropriate he was a big pervert after all. He went to him and stopped him before reaching the entrance to the make out pub.

"Jiraiya-sama perhaps we should go somewhere else."

The toad sanin frowned at him" what are you talking about this is the perfect place for us to rest. You get free sake and you get company by the most beautiful girls there is. The best of all well you can pay them to do anything to you" he gave his perverted grin.

"I don't recall going to make out pubs as part of the mission" he replied not approving this one bit.

"This is a bonus for traveling with the great mountain hermit and sanin Jiraiya, free sake and free entertainment is a perfect ten in my book for taking a break."

"I don't approve this…"

"Why are you being so stingy Itachi?" he kept his gaze on the older Uchiha" you should be thrill that you will be getting some women after all I'm sure that when you were traveling with Kisame you have your own fun with the ladies."

"I wasn't constantly finding women to sleep around when I was traveling with Kisame. I was on a mission to capture jinchurikkis and provide you with secret information while I was waiting for Sasuke to become strong enough to kill me."

"Come on Itachi let's just enjoy ourselves here so we can focus on the mission later. I can't believe you don't want to spend some time with beautiful women they can keep you company and you can enjoy yourselves with them if you know where I'm getting with this?"

"Yes I am well aware of the concept of being with women or loving one I did have a girlfriend which I killed during the massacre of my clan."

"Stop bringing the past Itachi I think you need this more than I do. I know exactly what you need, my friend you need to get laid let's go inside so you can chose your candidate."

The older Uchiha sighed this is the last thing he was expecting while traveling with Jiraiya. To be obligated with sleeping with a random woman he doesn't know anything about, for once he thought that things couldn't get any more complicated. He remembered about his girlfriend he admitted he had a good relationship with her and he did loved her but right now a women was the last thing he needed, or sex for the matter. He didn't say a word and knowing that he was going to regret his choice he followed the toad sanin entering the make out pub. Once they were inside Jiraiya entered his full pervert mode staring at the heavenly sight. The women were all wearing tight skimpy outfits making their body parts very noticeable especially their breasts. The uniform was a small white blouse showing their cleavage while wearing a short pink skirt above their knees he felt like an eager boy that just entered a candy store, a very arousing candy store. He went to the table with a big smile on his face and Itachi not too far behind waiting for the full service of gorgeous women. But things didn't went as planned when they enter the pub namely for Itachi.

The women saw their new customers and they blushed deeply. All eyes fell on the older Uchiha and none fell on Jiraiya. The toad sanin sweat dropped seeing the looks of pure sexual hunger as they were staring at Itachi like they wanted to eat him alive. For once in his entire life he actually thought that he made a terrible mistake going to a make out pub bar with someone who had looks and more handsome than himself. He knew that the moment he entered the make out pub he was going to be left behind by the women and he was right. He saw all of the women blushing dreamily as they went to the older Uchiha and Itachi's expression were unreadable making the toad sanin feel jealous because there was someone else besides him getting all of the attention from the sexy ladies. Itachi saw the women gathered around him as some of them pressed their bodies against his they were looking at him dreamily.

"Well hello there handsome" one of the women said.

"Welcome to the bar sweet heart I hope you enjoy your stay."

"Don't worry darling we will keep you company you won't be lonely with us around."

Before Itachi had a chance to reply he was dragged by the women leading him to one of the nearby tables. One of the women poured some sake on a glass smiling lovingly at him while others got seated next to him getting closer on him and one of them lowered herself so he noticed her well formed cleavage. The older Uchiha felt uncomfortable but he wasn't complaining about the sexy view and having so many beautiful women around him. He wasn't the kind of men who was always looking for women or more precise he wasn't a pervert like most men he had his mind clean and free of sexual lust and hunger. Of course he still had his limits to hold his urges but nevertheless he was a man didn't had sex in his mind twenty four seven unlike a certain toad sanin. Right now he was feeling happy and bitter because he really didn't wanted to be here while a rather someone wasn't happy in the least.

Jiraiya had his mouth wide open along with his eyes at the sight. He considered himself to be a true ladies man and every single woman will bow down to his feet but right now that has become false. His jaw fell to the ground from the shock at what he was seeing the women were all over Itachi like flies stick to fly paper and they were ignoring him like he wasn't there at all. It was impossible that the great Jiraiya was being ignored by the gorgeous women because they were far too busy ogling and drooling at the older Uchiha for them to notice him. He couldn't believe this was really happening and he felt his pride as a womanizer and pervert shattered into a million pieces feeling heartbroken. He sniffed before tears were falling while the women were still attending Itachi not caring that there was another customer waiting for their company.

"Hey I'm here too you know I need love too?!!" the toad sanin sobbed because they were still ignoring him, he frowned at the older Uchiha who stole the ladies from him' humph….that's the last time I'm bringing him to a make out pub.'

Itachi sighed while the women were pressing their bodies closer to him they were smiling at him as he decided to drink the glass of sake they kindly offered to him. He knew perfectly who was responsible for this because he would prefer to meditate, drink some green tea or some training in his break. He gazed at the toad sanin who was silently sulking in a corner because he wanted attention from the ladies and he was also jealous that he was taking the ladies for himself not to mention that he looked like he didn't had any intention with sharing any of them with him.

'Note to self get even with Jiraiya-sama.'

(Location: shopping district local town river country territory)

Sakura and Hinata have been enjoying their shopping trip quite nicely so far. Since they had enough money from their missions in capturing missing nins they had plenty to buy like they were regular teenagers eager to shop. Among the things they bought clothes both in civilian and kunoichi category of course they like wearing different battle clothing. Other things were weapons like kunais and shurikens and technique scrolls so they could learn new jutsus as well as supplies for when they were camping out in the open. They also bought some clothing and weapons for their third teammate Ino knowing that the Yamanaka will be thrilled when she sees that they bought her some clothing and ninja gear. The two kunoichis were having so much fun with the shopping that they were unaware that they were holding a lot of bags like they have spent a fortune on the shopping. For them it was fun to go shopping it actually made them think that they weren't ninjas and just regular people spending a day in doing what people knew best which was buying, buying and more buying. Both of them smiled proving how much fun they were having and enjoying each other's company.

Among the clothing both kunoichis have bought nice dresses that will fit with their physical beauty and personal taste. There was only one reason why they bought such beautiful clothing to get the attention of a certain blond leader. They had confidence in their good looks and they just needed to wear the right clothes all in hopes that Naruto will noticed them and give them a compliment. They will be proud if the tall blond can see how attractive they really are. Just thinking about the possibilities made them blushed although they didn't want to admit it right in the open. Although Sakura wouldn't admit how attracted she felt towards the blond since she's been traveling with him for two months hiding the deep feelings she has developed for him for a long time. Hinata although she was smiling because of the shopping and spending time with her teammate on the inside she was dying to try out one of the dresses she bought to get her leader's attention. She wasn't a flirter like Ino who loved teasing her prey till no end but she just wants Naruto to notice her more to see that she can be pretty perhaps he can like her more than just a friend and team member.

They were walking around gazing at the different shops they have already gotten what they wanted but something was missing. They needed to buy some clothes for a certain leader because they felt like it and they were sure he won't mind that they were kind enough to buy him some clothing. They still could hold a couple of bags Hinata had three in each of her hands and Sakura had four in one hand and one bag on the other. Their eyes gazed at the place they were looking for which was a store that sells clothing for men they smiled seeing the different kinds of clothes they had in display from the window. Hinata's pale eyes suddenly feel on a set of clothing which really attracted her a lot. It was a long sleeved green shirt with long black cargo pants, she already imagine her leader wearing the clothing. She wasn't the only one but Sakura was already staring at the clothes and she was captivated by the sight. She also imagined the tall blond wearing the hot clothes making her blushed slightly that.

"What do you think Hinata?" asked the pink haired teen staring at the clothes.

The Hyuga heiress blushed" Naruto-kun will look very handsome in that."

"He would wouldn't he?" smiled Sakura.

"Not that it matters Naruto looks handsome with any kind of clothing especially when he's naked hell yeah!" inner Sakura added giving two thumbs up of full approval with a nose bleed.

"Let's buy it Sakura-san."

"Yeah we still have plenty of money left we can buy Naruto more clothes besides that one, let's go."

They entered the shop and they were in awe at the sight. The inside of the shop was bigger than outside everywhere they looked there was clothing and they were unique to make a man look good and attractive. They were imagining Naruto wearing all the clothes it was enough to make them blush again and drool at how well and hot their blond leader will looked. They felt like buying the whole shop but they knew they couldn't because they didn't have that much money at their disposal although it was very tempting. As they went deeper into the shop they meet one of the employees an young women wearing an elegant white dress she smiled spotting potential customers giving them a cordial smile.

"Welcome how can I help you ladies?!"

"Yes it's about those clothes you have on display on the window" Sakura said.

"I see you have good eyes those are one good piece of clothing coming from one of the best stores in the five countries. It's a little expensive but the fabric material is very resistant and tough its one of a kind."

"That's all right we'll take it" replied the pink haired medic.

"Wonderful please feel free to look around and pick anything else if it gets your attention. By the way are you buying the clothes for your boyfriend?" the employee smirked looking at the pink haired teen.

"What no he's….just my friend that's all?!" Sakura said her whole face said otherwise because she was blushing.

"Okay then that means it must be for your boyfriend?" she asked Hinata.

"No he's my fr….friend….t…too!" the Hyuga heiress replied stuttering and like Sakura her whole face was blushing too.

The young woman laughed seeing their reactions and expressions" oh dear I'm sorry please I apologize for my rudeness, I just like teasing my customers I can't resists. It's always the same every time women comes to the shop they are always looking so determine to buy something nice for their boyfriends or husbands. I eventually thought one of you was the lucky girl who wants to buy something nice for the lucky guy."

"We are just his friends but he's someone close to us….there is nothing going on than just friendship" Sakura said her blushing was gone although part of her along with inner Sakura wanted to have something more than just friendship with her blond leader.

"That's right he's a good friend of ours he's precious to us" Hinata said still blushing part of her wanted to be the lucky girl to have her leader and have something with him more than just friendship.

The employee had a small smirk on her face seeing their faces they were obviously embarrassed to talking about the topic while Hinata was still blushing thinking about it. She wanted to tease them again but she hold the thought and decided to continue with her job.

"I see then well you two are very good friends to take your time and buy some clothes for him. Besides I can see that you're already having a nice day shopping" she smiled noticing the other shopping bags they were holding.

"What kind of woman doesn't like shopping right?" Sakura smirked.

"How true that's like asking if the sky is blue very well then please tell me your friend clothing size and I will go and get the clothes with his size."

"Sure thing Hinata please be kind and tell the lady the information she needs to know."

The Hyuga heiress blinked looking at her friend" me…I thought you knew Sakura-san?"

"Me I don't I thought you knew?" replied Sakura.

"But you're Naruto-kun's teammate."

"Just because he's my teammate that doesn't mean I know he's clothing size…although there was a time I saw him shirtless" Sakura mumble blushing a little at the memory while the woman was smirking hearing that.

"What?" Hinaa's eyes were wide.

"It's nothing looks like we're in for it now we don't know Naruto's clothing size" the pink haired medic sighed.

"Oh dear you two are sure in a pinch" replied the employee" what kind of friends are you if you don't know your friend's clothing size?"

"I guess we forgot to ask Naruto-kun" Hinata said.

"I just can't believe that it never crossed my mind, what are we going to do now?" asked Sakura.

"I don't think I will be able to help you if I don't know his clothing size" replied the woman" perhaps you can describe him for me maybe I can somehow guess his size."

"Sure I guess it won't hurt if we try."

"I agree" replied Hinata.

"He's tall 6'4 to be exact and he's seventeen, he's build big but not fat he's thin he's just well build" Sakura said her cheeks started blushing as she started describing her leader's well tone body.

"His waist is large but not too large it fits his perfect body, his muscles are very impressive and…." Hinata trailed off as she was now blushing again this time she was lost in her little world thinking about the tall blond and the inappropriate thoughts that were now running in her head.

By now the young woman was now waving her hand on her face to cool her off while her cheeks were blushing a lot" phew I think I should turn the air conditioner a little higher because it sure is getting hot around here. I apologize but the way you two have been describing your friend so far he's like one hell of a male specimen like he was a god."

"He is!" the two kunoichis finished in unison before they gasped gazing at each other" what did you say?!" they replied in unison again.

The woman started laughing again" oh dear you two are sure cracking me up I'm sorry. Tell you what I will go to the back and I will try hard to guess your friend's clothing size it is enough with the description you have given me, although I want to hear more phew."

"What?" Sakura said gazing at her with a frown and jealousy hidden inside of her.

"It's nothing I'll be right back"

The employee left the two embarrasses kunoichi and she could tell so clearly what they thought of their supposed friend she was after all a woman too. What better way to read the heart of a woman than another woman.

'Those two have it so bad….friend yeah right they're not fooling me.'

(Location: local town river country territory)

Ino has changed to regular clothing after returning to the inn where they were staying. However her mood hasn't change since this morning when Naruto turned her date down and the painful truth told by Sakura hit her in the worst matter. She was seated on a couple of steps in deep thought but she couldn't find a way to cheer up her mood was still the same. She was hurt and the pain was probably killing her there was nothing she could do to make herself feel better now that she knew the truth. She was always cheery and positive never the kind of person to get down or look gloom but today was an exception she just didn't felt like being cheery or even Mrs. Positive for the matter. She started thinking about Naruto the first time she met him when he finally returned to Konoha, she gave a small smile when she saw him for the first time after five years. She admitted that he was hot and handsome and she felt attracted to him not to mention that the small feelings she has been hiding for him for a while awakened on that day. But after finding out the truth she didn't know anymore remembering how she acts around him the flirting, the teasing and the seduction act. She needed to face the fact that she was just a teenager looking for sex and what better way to get it that from the person who she considered very wonderful and handsome.

"Isn't it obvious he's afraid of you?"

"You're always trying to jump on him like you want to get into his pants it probably makes him feel uncomfortable being around you. Any other guy will fear you too."

Sakura's words hit her hard because it was the truth she was always teasing and flirting with him, all with the purpose to take him and make Naruto hers. It was wrong to think like that since she didn't had a right to seduce him all for the pleasure of sex it was part of her personality which was the result of her training with Anko. The snake mistress attitude and seductress act rubbed on her making her an identical replica of her so she couldn't help it if she wanted to tease her leader with her flirting acts. Yet to find out that Naruto fears her, and he felt uncomfortable being next to her made her heart shattered to pieces. The possibility of the tall blond rejecting her was enough to bring tears to her eyes and it worked. Tears have formed at the corner of her eyes and she was holding the urge to cry she needed to be strong, if she was going to cry she will do it in a more private place since they were people passing by. She dried her tears and remained strong perhaps she will have to admit that she acted like a slut when she was next to Naruto to her that was lower than being a criminal or a traitor it was below scum.

'All this time….I've been trying to get closer to Naruto but I've been doing it the wrong way. Instead of getting closer to him I've been leading him further away from me, he's afraid of me he's probably disgusted with me because I act like a whore around him damn it!'

A couple of tears fell from her face feeling terrible than before' what if it's true…what if I don't have feelings for Naruto and I just want to have a one night stand with him am I really that desperate to get laid?! No that can't be I know I feel something strong for him I am attracted to him but still….it hurts to know that he's scare of me and he's not comfortable being next to me.'

"Ino?"

The Yamanaka gasped recognizing the voice she made a quick move to dry the tears that were stained on her face so the person didn't noticed that she was crying. Turning around she saw Naruto staring at her with a smile the tall blond has changed his Kitsune uniform and he was just wearing a regular white shirt with long orange pants and black sandals. She couldn't let him know that she was crying he will completely be suspicious of her behavior that something will be wrong with her. The only thing she did was to make sure he didn't notice that she was all right and convince him that she was still herself. She also kept in mind not to act like a slut to him anymore like she was desperate to get into his pants or a sex starve predator. Naruto on the other hand noticed the far off look on her face like there was something wrong he got worried for her.

"Hey Ino?"

The Yamanaka forced a smile on him" hey Naruto…."

"You're here I thought you will be with Sakura and Hinata at the shopping district why didn't you go with them?" he got seated on the stairs with her.

"I guess I didn't felt like it…." her replied was soft but she managed to give a smile.

The tall blond raised an eyebrow" that's strange you refusing to go shopping it's a little hard to believe."

'Damn it he's suspecting something already I can't be that convincing' she forced another smile at him" what about you why are you here?"

"I'm already done with my business that's why I'm here" he replied never taking his eyes off the platinum blond" seriously Ino why didn't you go shopping with them?"

"I already told you I don't feel like it."

"Something must really be bothering you for you to lie to me."

Ino's eyes widened looking shocked" it's not that I'm fine honest."

"That's another lie you will never lie to me what's wrong?" he put his hand on her shoulder making sure he had some control on her but in a good way so she can tell him her problem, his eyes were showing concern.

The Yamanaka growled getting frustrated" I told you nothing is wrong with me why do you care?!"

"As a team leader I have the responsibility to worry over my team members is something is bothering them, besides you're my friend Ino and I care about you. You never act like this so it's pretty clear something is wrong, that and the fact that you haven't flirt with me yet."

The last part was enough to angered the platinum blond as she was now glaring at him shocking Naruto a lot" oh so you think there's something wrong with me because I haven't acted like a complete slut with you that's a great way to see that there's something wrong with me. So let me guess you already knew I am bothered because I wasn't trying to get into your pants and fuck you!"

Naruto kept his composure erasing his shock from seeing the Yamanaka so angry with him" I didn't mean it like that how about telling me what's wrong you will never act like this before?"

"Maybe I decided to act different towards you I'm making a disgrace of myself by always trying to seduce you" her anger was still visible in her face.

The blond blinked at her comment before chuckling" come on Ino I don't care about that I don't feel offended when you act like that around me."

"Yet you're afraid of me that you even decline my date" she whispered softly her tone was hurt.

"Huh what did you say?" Naruto obviously didn't hear her.

"It's nothing I'm going back to the inn I'll see you later Naruto."

She was about to leave but Naruto stopped her making the Yamanaka to looked straight at him. Their eyes met cerulean meeting sky blue and their eyes could say a lot. She saw concern and hurt in his eyes like it was really hurting him not to know what was wrong with her. It was worst for she couldn't stand seeing him like that it was proof that he really cares for her well being it wasn't just because he was her leader and he worries because she's part of the team. Naruto made his move putting his hands on her shoulder not losing eye contact with her it was making the platinum blond go crazy feeling his warm touch which she tried hard not too blush. How she will love to stare at that handsome face forever it was making her heart beat like crazy she wanted this moment to never end. By now she lost her anger at him and she was feeling guilty for being so rude and harsh towards him when he was just worried about her. She wanted to apologize to him for her behavior he didn't deserve to receive such a temper tantrum from her.

"I'm sorry…." she replied with a sigh.

"Ino please tell me what's wrong?" once again Naruto's voice was filled with concern.

"I'm just having a bad day I guess."

"Really then shouldn't your day gotten better if you left with Sakura and Hinata?"

"I guess going shopping would make any woman to get in a good mood but today it won't do it for me."

"Why are you feeling so gloom?"

"There's a lot on my mind…." she trailed off not wanting to gaze into his eyes because Naruto still had his hands on her shoulders.

"Want to talk about it?"

"I….I don't know…."

"Is it personal?"

"I guess you could say it like that."

Naruto gulped fearing to mention the topic hoping he doesn't get in trouble" um….did you….got your period or something?"

"What…no of course not, that's not it I can't believe you would think that!" the Yamanak couldn't help but laugh at his guess he was trying hard to help her.

"Well sorry but I can't help you if you don't tell me what's wrong you're being stubborn you know" the tall blond sighed finally removing his hands from her shoulders.

The platinum blond smirked at him" maybe I am stubborn I just like seeing you so concern for me I guess you do care after all" she said it in a teasing tone.

"Of course I care Ino something that will make you cry must be something serious."

"What?" her eyes widened.

"I noticed that you were crying before I got next to you something is really bothering you that will probably hurt you a lot. I'm not asking as your team leader but as a friend who is concern for you would you like to talk about it?" he gave her a caring smile.

Ino felt her heart skipping beat at his smile she felt like giving up. After hearing his kind words she would just throwing the towel and tell him the truth she knew she couldn't hide it from him he already knows that she was crying. But still it will hurt her to think he was afraid of her and he will see her as someone who just wanted to have sex with him nothing more. Part of her wanted to tell him but another part didn't she couldn't risk it she rather kept quiet than risking her friendship with the blond.

"Ino?" Naruto was still worried she still hasn't answered him.

The bleach blond chuckle" maybe there's something wrong with me maybe not. I really don't feel like telling you."

Naruto sighed" come on stop teasing I'm really worried if you don't tell me I will be worry sick about the whole thing."

Ino giggle hearing that it really proves how much the tall blond cares for her she hide her blushing while turning her back on him" I don't know I guess it will be best if we leave things the way they are."

"I don't want that I know I can't make you talk or perhaps I can" Naruto grinned as he went in front of the Yamanaka and he used his deadly weapon ever" how about now Ino?"

The platinum blond was in shock seeing that her leader has used one of the deadliest tricks in the book, she was staring at Naruto who was giving her the sad puppy face. She was in shocked before blushing at the cuteness and irresistible face of the tall blond she just couldn't resist the urge to giggle like a fan girl. She felt hopeless like she just dropped her guard and she was ready to summit ready to spill the beans to her leader. Naruto got closer to her so that his deadly technique had more effect which it was working so far and he could tell that she was ready to talk.

"Well Ino are you going to tell me what's wrong?" he was still using his perfected sad puppy face.

'Damn he looks so adorable I can't believe he's going this far so I tell him!'

"Face it Ino you have no choice but to tell me what's bothering you now, no one can't stand a chance against my sad puppy face jutsu."

"You're unbelievable I can't believe you would use such technique on me!" although she wanted to be upset at him she was smiling at his actions like she was having fun with him.

"Come on Ino just give up I can keep this up for a while are you ready to give in now?"

The Yamanaka childishly stuck her tongue at him turning the other way" no you're going to need something stronger than that to make me talk."

The tall blond sighed finally releasing his sad puppy face" you're not making this any easier Ino."

The platinum blond smiled at happy that he was going this far to find out about her problem. When she thought about it she felt happy that he cares for her as team members as a friend or perhaps something even more. The thought made her blush to have someone so loyal and caring to worry about her to think she was already cherishing this moment she was having with him. She looked at him smiling this time she was going to talk but she had something else in mind, she had plans for him.

"You really want me to tell you?"

The tall blond nodded" I am worry Ino so yes I want you to tell me what's bothering you, what will make you cry so much it's not like you to just stay and cry. I know you rather smile and be your cheery self than act the way you are now."

Ino giggled" since you want to find out so badly then…"

She quickly took his hand as they got up and left the stairs heading into the streets of the town.

"Ino where are you taking me?"

"You'll see I saw this sing and it got me interested come on!"

Naruto didn't say another word as Ino was leading him to the streets but at least he was feeling better now. He saw the Yamanaka's face and she didn't look like she was down or bothered like she was before he managed to help her a little, but he still wanted to find out what was bothering her. He saw as Ino lead him a wall and something caught his eye. It was a red sing and he began to read it, he noticed it was about a carnival.

"A carnival?" asked the blond.

Ino nodded" there's going to be a carnival tonight in this town I always wanted to go to one so…"

Naruto smirked" so let me guess you want to go with me like a date?"

"If you want to make it a date then it's fine by me I don't mind."

"Sounds to me like you have been planning this from the beginning maybe you were pretending to be bothered about something in order for me to take you to the carnival don't you?" Naruto was still smirking.

"Maybe maybe not" the platinum blond giggled getting closer to him" so what do you say?"

"Why not it won't hurt to take a break from the missions all right we'll go."

"Then it's a date!" Ino replied cheery.

"Sure"

The platinum blond smiled feeling happy she wasn't longer feeling the pain from Sakura's words. She knew that her little plan worked and now she was going to make her move tonight while she was gazing at the tall blond' this is the perfect chance to finally get closer to him the right way just you wait Naruto. Perhaps we can finally get closer to one another more than just friends' she blushed at the last part she was looking forward for tonight.

(Location: shopping district local town river country territory)

Sakura and Hinata have finally decided to take a break from their shopping which they were relief to rest from all the walking they gave done so far. After hours of doing endless shopping from all kinds of shops they stopped to rest sitting on a bench of the district. They were now holding more bags than usual since they have also bought some clothes for Naruto too they were both smiling thinking what will be their leader's reaction when he tries the clothes. Of course neither of them knew his clothing size so they had to rely on the shopkeeper to choose the clothes for them guessing the blonds' clothing size and they were hoping it was the right one. Sakura was resting on the bench with a smile on her face because her feet were killing her from all the walking although she had to frown a little at her teammate Hinata. The Hyuga heiress was seated on the bench she was resting all right but she was busy, because she took her time to continue reading Naruto's novel. The pink haired medic had to shake her head in disapproval this was all Ino's fault for brainwashing Hinata to read a perverted novel. Although she was dying of curiosity to know about the novel and the sex scenes and inner Sakura was getting more inpatient by the minute she saw that Hinata was smiling as she continues to read the book.

To think someone as innocent and timid as Hinata will end up reading a perverted book then again she wasn't surprise. The Hyuga heiress has also read the Itcha Itcha series so she should see this coming I guess there was a little pervert inside all of them after all. She knew it was true since her inner persona is really curious sexually not to mention that she has had some naughty dreams concerning herself with a certain blond leader although she ignored those dreams completely. She erased that topic from her head before something else came to her mind which was what happened earlier. She remembered Ino's hurtful expressions when she told her about her behavior around Naruto. Even if she couldn't clearly see the Yamanaka's face she saw her lips and it wasn't a smile of approval perhaps she has really hurt her friends' feeling and it was her fault. She hold the urge to cry she will never forgive herself if Ino ends up hating her because of her comment and eventually the possibilities that she will ruined her friendship with the blond once again, even if she promised herself to never repeat any of her past mistakes. There was only one way to find out and she was going to begin with the person seated next to her.

"Hinata?"

"Hmm…" the Hyuga heiress didn't looked at her because she was still caught reading the novel although she was paying attention to what her teammate was going to say.

"Do you think Ino is angry at me?"

Hinata left her gaze from the book to her friend" why would she be angry at you?"

Sakura sighed" it's because what I said to her that she's always trying to jump on Naruto and getting into his pants."

"But Sakura-san it's true."

"What?!" the pink haired teen was shocked not expecting to hear that from the Hyuga heiress.

"Ino-san is always flirting with Naruto-kun and teasing him and also seducing him…." Hinata tried not to looked or sound jealous" so don't feel bad for yourself for what you said to her."

"Even if that's the case I should have never said that to her. I know I hurt her feelings that's why she didn't wanted to go with us, I mean this is Ino she's just like us when it comes to shopping a shopacholic. It seems I'm always screwing up no matter how hard I'm trying to prevent myself from making a mistake."

"Sakura-san don't say that it's not true."

"But it is true I hurt Ino's feelings and she might end up hating me and she might end our friendship I don't want that. I don't want to screw up our friendship…..again it was bad enough I had to abandoned her friendship because of chasing Sasuke but this I will never forgive myself."

"I'm sure Ino-san may not have taken it so personal she must know it's true. Also she decided to spend some time alone she will think things through before she calms down" replied the Hyuga heiress.

"Thanks Hinata I know you're trying to make me feel better but I will like to talk to her and apologize it's the only way to get rid of the guilt I feel right now."

Hinata nodded before she went back to reading her book which she smiled getting excited again. Sakura was in deep thought as she took a glance at her friend who went back to read her favorite novel. Although she didn't like to see a teammate reading a perverted novel she couldn't help but feel curious it was eating her up so badly. She heard so many things about the book from Ino and rumors that it was the best adult novel ever and to think her blond leader wrote it. Surely it must be very good to gained so much popularity in the five countries it only feed her curiosity even more. She blush thinking about the sex scenes while gazing at the book Hinata was reading ignoring the urge to read it and find out what was the big fuzz about. She couldn't hold it anymore seeing the Hyuga heiress smiling as she read the book made her explode like a volcano from the curiosity.

She pouted softly" I still can't believe you're reading that book."

Hinata shifted her eyes from the book smiling at her teammate" it's really good the story plot is very good, you should read it too Sakura-san."

The pink haired medic blushed in embarrassment before frowning" no way I am not reading a perverted novel!"

"It's not really that perverted I mean there's more drama and romance throughout the development of the story it's just like Ino-san said there isn't many sex scenes like in other novels. It focuses more on the plot and the development of the character than the sex in general."

"Really I have never heard of such thing an adult novel with less sex in it. It sounds hard to believe" Sakura was now interested staring at the book."

The Hyuga heiress nodded" right now I'm in the second chapter and I already like the main character Takeshi he works in a ramen shop and he's very kindhearted and loyal to his friends. He's also hardworking and full of energy he has a dream of opening his own ramen shop with the purpose to serve the best ramen in the world."

The pink haired teen blinked in wonder" you're kidding that novel sounds more about ramen than sex. I'm not surprise that Naruto made the novel about ramen or the main character based on himself."

"I thought the same thing too but Takeshi is so full of life and he's love by all of his friends that's all I know so far since I'm still in the second chapter I have ways to go before reaching half of the book let alone the ending."

"I see…" Sakura's replied was soft but nevertheless she decided not to talk anymore since Hinata went back to her reading and she didn't want to interrupt her.

She stood quiet in deep thought letting the words that Hinata told her about the novel hits her head. Letting her brain process all of the information and by now her curiosity has increased ten times fold. She was really interested in reading more about the novel and the main character Takeshi especially because he's just like Naruto making her wonder if he wrote any character that resembled any of his friends from Konoha or even herself. She really wanted to read it now if it was that good and less sex so there was no need to consider the book so perverted like she thought. She looked around the shops and she noticed that there was a bookshop not too far from their location. She was truly lucky without breaking Hinata's concentration from her reading she left the bench and head to the book store. She went to the counter where there was an older man who was the bookshop owner while gazing around the many books.

"Excuse me do you still have any available copies of the healing of a broken heart?"

"Why certainly my dear you're very lucky this is the last copy I have before more shipment arrives, that novel is always selling like there's no tomorrow" replied the bookshop owner taking the copy of the novel from a nearby bookshelf" that will be fifty ryou."

"Thank you" she replied with a smiling giving him the money.

(Time skip: evening)

(Location: inn local town somewhere in green country territory)

Itachi and Jiraiya have left their reservation from the inn they were staying they were ready to leave. Although Itachi was still feeling uncomfortable because he spent hours in a make out pub bar and Jiraiya was sulking like a little baby because he wasn't getting any attention from the ladies because they were gaga over the older Uchiha. Luckily he move on and he made a mental note to never bring Itachi to another make out pub ever he was a small fry compare to the Uchiha in gaining the ladies attention. They left the inn and walked the silent streets as they were leaving the town soon they started running before they were outside of the town. They entered a forest and they started jumping through the tree branches they were obviously in a hurry like their lives depended on it. Soon they increased their speed with the purpose to leave the region of green country without showing any signs of ever stopping.

"We finally made some progress after all this time" replied Itachi.

The toad sanin nodded" I know it's late but my spy network has a lead on Kushina's location we can't waste this chance we may never get this close to her ever."

"Once we pinpoint her exact location she won't be escaping us I will make sure of that."

"Right this mission is too important to end in failure which failure is not an option there's too much at stake in the success of this mission" replied Jiraiya.

Itachi nodded keeping his eyes on the road ahead he knew how important the mission was. The possibilities of finding Naruto's lost mother which was considered dead and the reunion of both of them. The older Uchiha owed the blond for giving him a second chance in life and continue fighting for the village he sacrificed his clan for the sake of protecting it. He had a debt to pay to Naruto for helping him and he was going to make sure he fulfills it by reuniting him with his mother. The tall blond deserves the joy of being reunited with the woman who gave birth to him and brought him to the world, even if he thought that the reunion can become unpleasant. If he couldn't fix his relation with his brother Sasuke then maybe he can fix the one between Naruto and Kushina after all he knew how important family is and the bonds forged with them.

Jiraiya was in deep thought at everything that has happened. To think that it wasn't long that he found out the shocking truth from Megumi that Kushina was still alive someone close to him that he considers family. And now he was close in finding her for him this mission meant everything more valuable that anything he has come to love like doing his research and his perverted books. He had two goals right now to find Kushina and to reunite her with her only son.

'Kushina I'm coming…..I won't let Naruto's family vanish or his legacy.'

(Location: carnival local town river country territory)

Naruto and Ino have arrived at the carnival ready to start their date. They have changed to more appropriate clothing Naruto was wearing a black shirt with dark green pants and black sandals. Ino on the other hand was wearing a purple dress with rose's designs on the lower part of the skirt and black high heels, the skirt was a little above the knees making Naruto to noticed her nice long legs. The dress also showed the Yamanaka's well developed womanly curves it was enough to make the blond to stare at her and have a couple of perverted dreams along with a nose bleed. No matter what he thought he knew that Ino was truly gorgeous and she will look sexy with anything that she wears. Ino was in the same boat staring at her leader the only thing that it was running in her head was to pin him to the ground and have her way with him. However she promised herself not to do anything inappropriate with him tonight so she was going to control her urges for their date. Although that was very much impossible right now seeing how hot and sexy he looked in those clothing she bit her lip so she didn't licked her lips she couldn't help but admire the handsome blond next to her. Both walked heading into the carnival before they smiled at the sight.

They were a lot of people and so many ride which it indescribable. They were many different games to try out like hitting a couple of bottles with a ball or shooting targets with a gun. They were so many places and things available they just didn't know where to go first the whole carnival looked like it was something that was taken from someone's dreamland. Just looking at the place they knew they were going to have so much fun together it was going to be a date to remember. Naruto gazed at Ino and she looked like a happy child eager to start having some fun this was the perfect opportunity to find out what was wrong with her. Of course he hasn't forgotten when he saw her cry that image alone was enough to hurt him, he just couldn't stand to see a member of his team cry. This date was just what the Yamanaka needed to open up to him and tell him her problems he needed to show that he was a good team leader, someone like also had his pride to look out for. He smiled he was going to enjoy this evening with the platinum blond while ignoring his hormones realizing that he was next to a sexy hot blond. Ino looked at him with a warm smile and a blush on her cheeks she was already having fun with her leader and she knew she was going to have more fun having him by her side.

"So where should we go first?!" asked the eager Ino.

"I don't know there are so many places to go I don't even know where to start" Naruto said scratching that back of his head he couldn't decide because everything looks so much fun.

The Yamanaka giggled" true but that won't stop us from going to every single ride were going to have so much fun together!"

"Okay define fun?" Naruto raised an eyebrow at her with a grin knowing how the platinum blond behaves with him.

Ino somehow got hurt by his comment it was obvious that Naruto saw her as the girl who only wants to get into his pants nothing more she was going to prove him wrong. Naruto noticed her expression and got worried but the Yamanaka just smiled at him with a lot of honesty reflected in her baby blue eyes.

"Naruto I won't do anything like that to you I mean it. When I say fun I mean as going to the rides, talk, eat something and laughed together that kind of fun. This is me and I want to spend some time with you trust me that your virginity is safe tonight" she smirked a little' for now.'

"Sure of course I know about that kind of fun I was just kidding Ino…..you okay?" the tall blond was worried about her remembering her expression.

"I am fine because I'm with you let's get started how about if you let me decided what to do first?"

"Whatever you say" Naruto smiled.

Ino smiled as she was looking around the huge carnival until her eyes went wide. Something has definitely caught her attention and it was the best thing she has ever seen she already knew where to go first before taking Naruto's hand running along the crowd.

Naruto blushed at the contact of her hand but he chuckle at the eager blond" I'm guessing you found where to go first?"

"Yup were going to the rollercoaster!"

"All right lead the way!"

The platinum blond giggled holding his hand and leading him through the large crowd heading to where the rollercoaster was located. Of course like everyone else they had to wait in line which it was a long line they will have to wait for a while. Both of them were patient and they knew the waiting was going to be worth it, the line started moving frequently so it wasn't going to be long before they get their turn. After fifteen minutes they were finally up the two friends went to one of the carts but Ino quickly chose the front cart preventing anyone else from taking it. Both teen smiled since this was their first time riding a rollercoaster they were too anxious so the ride begins. Once everyone was in the cart and safely secure the machine got started and the cart started running heading into the tracks of the ride. Soon the cart started going up and up knowing that it was going to head down with a lot of force and speed. They saw the entire carnival because they were so high by now, both of their eyes widened when the rollercoaster went down and everyone was screaming at the top of their lungs. The cart went in different directions while the people were still screaming at the fast ride but moreover they were truly enjoying it. For both Naruto and Ino this was going to be a great experience worth taking.

(Time skip)

After the rollercoaster ride was over both of them were laughing because they have enjoyed the ride a lot. They were already having fun and it was just a taste of things to come, Ino quickly took Naruto's hand smiling at him proof that she was having a lot of fun being with him. Naruto felt the same way too he only wanted to see the Yamanaka happy while he was still thinking about what was bothering her from earlier why was she crying. He will eventually get his answer from her tonight because he wasn't planning in leaving this date without hearing her explanation. For now he was going to leave that topic for later seeing Ino smiling widely loving the carnival she lead him once again through the crowd looking very eager heading to their next destination. Naruto saw in the distance where the platinum blond was leading him it was the Ferris wheel one of the places where relationships bloom to have romantic moments. He has heard from Jiraiya about the many places for a couple to have a conversation and strengthen their friendship and their bond and of course where to make out and go to the next level. He blush thinking about the last part hoping that it wasn't what Ino had in mind, although she told him his virginity was safe tonight so he knew she wasn't going to try and get into his pants. They reached the long line to the Ferris wheel which it was moving a little faster than the one at the rollercoaster, soon it was their turn and they entered in one of the carts of the wheel just the two of them.

The Ferris wheel started moving as the rest of the people were getting on and they were gazing from the window. They smiled seeing how high they were getting until they could see the entire carnival and town from their height. They were witnessing a very beautiful sight of night and the sky filled with stars it was the perfect atmosphere for a romantic date. Naruto was gazing at the wonderful view while Ino was staring at him with so much affection in her baby blue eyes, she blushed at the scenery it was romantic making out with him was the first thing that popped in her mind but she erased it. As much as she wanted to she wanted to have a conversation with him and get to know him even better a conversation she was hoping to grow closer with him and deepen her bond with him. She smiled looking at him she could gazed at him forever and admire his handsome features and she did admit he was cute back when they were at the academy, she was too stubborn to admit because she was busy ogling over Sasuke along with Sakura. Now she only wish she have taken back everything she did to the blond, she then realized that Naruto was staring at her and their eyes meet a little. They ignored it as they went to gazed at the view together.

"It's beautiful isn't it?"

"It sure is" replied Naruto smiling at her" by the way Ino you look great."

The Yamanaka laughed at his timing" you are a little late to be giving me the compliment, you should have said that when we first arrive here. But still I will accept it thank you. You don't look bad yourself."

"Sorry for saying it late but the important thing is I did said it right?"

"Right!" she giggled smiling.

Suddenly the Ferris wheel stopped leaving them at the top in the highest point of the ride. They didn't panic this was after all part of the ride they were going to stay here for a while before the Ferris wheel moves again. It wasn't so bad it was going to make thing better for both of them to have a conversation especially for Ino. The Yamanaka was grinning in her mind because she will have more time to talk to her favorite blond and she was going to enjoy every minute of it.

'Must be my lucky day'

"So Naruto what are your plans for the missions?"

Naruto gazed at her" we will leave river country tomorrow to continue with our missions but tonight I decided to leave it to take some time out for us. I believe we have earned the rest after doing countless missions."

"Oh yeah I really needed this day off always traveling constantly and doing missions can be very tiring. I'm sure Sakura and Hinata agree with me on that."

"Hey I may be strict at some degree but not too much I know when we deserve a rest. You all have been doing great and I couldn't ask for a better team I'm very lucky to have you guys" Naruto said smiling.

Ino smiled with a blush on her cheeks her legs were tapping on the floor proving that she was feeling a little embarrassed" do you really mean that?"

"Of course granny chose well for giving me a great team you guys are amazing working together and your teamwork is unique. Besides I like traveling with you guys it got lonely when I was traveling on my own because I wasn't always traveling with pervy sage and even so it got annoying traveling with him because he was always whining that he has to do his research" replied the tall blond.

"Ah don't tell me you didn't join Jiraiya-sama in his pepping research?" the Yamanaka gave a grin.

Naruto blushed while frowning" well I…..I didn't do it so often like he did…."

"Oh so you admit to be a peeping tom I guess you did turn out to be just like your teacher huh?" the platinum blond was still grinning at him.

Naruto sighed" come on you can't blame for training with someone like him for five years. I always tried hard to ignore him and prevent myself from doing the same thing but eventually I got pulled into his bad habits I regret it a lot honest."

"I don't think you do Naruto it must feel good to see all those naked women in the hot baths washing their bodies did it turn you on?" Ino grinned getting into a more hot and spicy topic.

"What?!" the blond was blushing shocked at her question.

"You heard me it must have turned you on to see so many women naked. I want to ask you something Naruto but you better answer me honestly okay?"

"Sure….I guess" the blond was still feeling unsure of the topic.

The platinum blond was still ginning at him" have you masturbated before?"

"What?!" Naruto was now blushing at the question.

"You said you were going to answer the question honestly. I know that you're still a virgin but that doesn't mean you can't masturbate right?"

"Ino why the heck do you want to know something like that?!" asked the blushing Naruto.

"I'm just curious that's all come on tell me I know masturbation is a personal topic but I promise I won't say a word to Sakura and Hinata they don't have to know. It will be just between you and me."

'What is it with Ino and the topic of sex anyway and she calls me a pervert she's no better than me?' he sighed knowing that he couldn't avoid the topic even if he tries" if you want to know then….yes Ino I have masturbated before and it has happened when I peek at the hot baths. When I spent the night in a inn I will either take a cold shower or I masturbate or sometimes I will do both."

The Yamanaka laughed" oh please a cold shower yeah right that doesn't work masturbation is more effective because your having an individual orgasm and nothing can't overtop that."

Naruto sweat dropped at her comment" yes Ino I do know how effective it is, are you a ninja or a sexologist?"

The platinum blond laughed again" see you're now following my lead were both having fun. It's all right to do that it's all part of human nature we always have those urges."

Naruto noticed Ino getting closer to him before reaching his face touching one of his whisker marks and started touching it gently she was giving him a very seductive look. He has seen that in the Yamanaka's face it was the regular flirter look when she used to tease him.

"Maybe I'm feeling those urges right now" she winked at him.

"Ino?" Naruto was blushing.

"Nah just kidding with you" the platinum blond said hiding the pain she was feeling for pulling such stunt' what the hell I was thinking I shouldn't have done that I don't want him to be any more afraid of me.'

"Oh…." replied the tall blond sounding a little disappointed' of course that's so her to flirt and tease.'

"So you want some of that blond vixen eh you want to taste her?" asked the Kyuubi with a big grin.

'I didn't ask for your opinion fur ball.'

"What about you Ino have you masturbated before?" Naruto grinned it was his turn to ask the personal question.

The platinum blond wasn't fazed by the question she just shrugged her shoulders" I have I'm not ashamed to admit it I am just like any other woman who has her urges."

"Thinking about anyone in particular?" the tall blond was grinning like a pervert.

"I guess but that person will remain anonymous sorry Naruto" Ino grinned of course she wasn't going to say that she has been pleasuring herself while thinking about him.

"That's okay" he replied before looking at the blond again" you know Ino you never told me about your training with Anko."

The Yamanaka blinked before smiling" I guess I haven't it must be because you never ask. Looks like the Ferris wheel won't be moving again for a while so we have the time. I should start by telling you about training in the interrogation division, I really wanted to use my skills and the techniques of my clan to good use so I asked my dad who is a member in the interrogation division to help me train to become an interrogator."

"Yeah I heard about Inoichi he is among the best interrogators in the division" Naruto said since he has heard the information from Jiraiya.

"That's right dad knows his stuff in the division so he was the perfect person to ask to help me in the training. The training wasn't easy but I got used to it and started getting better with each day, dad wasn't the only one who helped me in the training but Ibiki-san also helped."

"Ibiki?" asked Naruto remembering the name" you mean Morino Ibiki the guy with all of the scars on his head and the proctor from the first test of the chunin exams that Ibiki?"

"Yup that's him he was happy to help me in the training since he's good friends with my dad" replied the bleach blond.

"That guy really fried my head when I took the first test he really knows how to mess with people's heads."

Ino giggle" I know that his specialty mind psychology he knows how the human mind works and he's an expert when it come to mind torture he really doesn't like using physical torture. But if he's left with no choice he will use physical if he has to though."

"All right I understand the training for an interrogator part but what about Anko?" asked the tall blond before blushing" you know granny told me that you wanted to be strong because of me…."

The Yamanaka nodded" it's true you were the source for me to make the decision to become strong. However I didn't started my training under Anko sensei until I was fourteen I was a chunin already back then, I will never forget that day when I found out about you" she smiled at him.

Naruto nodded but he was still feeling embarrassed his cheeks were still blushing from her comment.

Ino was walking the streets of Konoha ready to start another day of work. The fourteen year old was wearing the uniform of the Konoha interrogation division, which consider of a long black trench coat a grey button shirt and grey cargo pants with black sandals. The Yamanaka didn't like the colors of the uniform because there wasn't any trace of purple in it and she wanted to wear something with her favorite color. She smiled to herself she was going to give it her all today like she always do every day. While walking the streets passing through the villagers she started hearing whispering from them which it reached the Yamanaka's ears.

"Did you hear Konoha's mercenary strikes again?"

"He has that's the fifth time this week he really doesn't take a rest."

"That's why he's dangerous but he has done a good job helping the village."

"I feel sorry for the people he's going after but it's for the benefit of Konoha."

"Yeah but I also heard that he's very fear like a demon, they say that he devours the souls of his victims."

The villager was trembling in fear" y…you're kidding?!"

"I'm not people are even wondering if he's even human at all. Just let me warn you that the people he has hunted have no longer seen the light of day ever again."

"How horrible I never thought Konoha's mercenary was so dangerous I'm glad he's on our side. Do you think what would be like if he betrays the village?"

"Nah I don't think that will happen I also heard that he's very loyal to Konoha."

"I see I guess even someone like Kitsune Flash has a sense of loyalty for his village."

"That's how it is."

'Konoha's mercenary….KItsune Flash just who is he?' Ino thought feeling curious she wanted to know more about the mercenary.

(Time skip)

(Location: first floor interrogation division headquarters Konoha hidden leaf village fire country territory)

Ino walked through the halls of the department in deep thought. She couldn't stop thinking about Kitsune Flash she has heard so many of the villagers whispering rumors about him. She could tell he was very famous for so many people to talk about him it has gotten her interest. Of course she wasn't stupid and she was going to believe all of the rumors about the mercenary that he devours the souls of his victims, she won't believe such silly none sense. But she couldn't shake her curiosity of hearing about the mercenary it was getting the best of her she wanted to know more about him. Perhaps asking the people in the building she will know more about him. She entered the main office where she saw Ibiki holding a stack of papers along with her father Inoichi it seems they were having a conversation. She went to them although she had a pretty good idea what they were talking about, or who they were talking about.

"Hey dad hey Ibiki-san!"

"Oh Ino hi I'm sorry but it seems you don't have any prisoners to interrogate today" Inoichi replied who obviously stopped the topic he was discussing with Ibiki.

"That's all right you guys were obviously talking about him didn't you?"

"If you're referring to Kitsune Flash yes we were talking about him" Ibiki said.

"I should it know the whole village is talking about him like he was the hottest topic to talk in Konoha" replied Ino.

"I guess it's to be expected we recently received word from Hokage-sama that Kitsune Flash has started his job as a mercenary for the leaf village. So far he has done a very good job for recently being new in the job" Inoichi said.

"We don't know much about him but Hokage-sama told us that he's very loyal to the village and he could be trusted, I will take her word on that" Ibiki replied.

Ino nodded" I'm sure you guys don't believe about the rumors concerning him. That he actually devours the souls of his victims?"

"None sense people can make up the craziest things" Ibiki said.

Inoichi took a file taking a picture before he almost freaked out at the image" I can't blame the people for making up the rumors Kitsune Flash looks very intimidating….and scary."

Ibiki gazed at the picture raising an eyebrow" that's a scary mask he wears."

Ino blinked" what that's a picture of Kitsune Flash let me see?!"

She kindly took the photo from her father before gazing at it. The Yamanaka's eyes widened seeing appearance of the mask mercenary and she was left in a state of shock. As soon as she laid eyes on the picture for some reason she didn't know why she felt her heart beating faster and louder. She felt a blush hitting her cheeks seeing the scary fox mask he was wearing but she couldn't help it but feel attracted and gazing at his bad ass clothing it turn her on. Another thing she didn't know is why she felt the desire to push herself to the limit and become strong. Hearing so much about the mask mercenary she knew he was strong her flame of passion was burning brighter than ever before and she wanted to become a true ninja. A true fighter who won't back down on his enemies following her ninja way protecting her village and her friends, that's what she wanted to do. Obviously she was going to need someone who will teach her to fight but who, a strong jounin but she didn't know who.

Ibiki and Inoichi looked at each other noticing that Ino had a far off look like she was in a trance or in deep thought that she didn't noticed that they were still here. Inoichi went to his daughter to check if she was all right but they were going to rudely interrupted.

"Ibiki!!!" a loud voice came from the entrance.

'Oh no' thought the interrogator with a sweat dropped recognizing the owner of the voice as well as Inoichi.

Ino snapped from her thinking as soon as she heard the loud female voice coming from the entrance to the office. She turned to see a very pissed off Mitarashi Anko who was holding a bag filled empty dango sticks and she looked like she was ready to kill someone.

"Yes Anko?" Ibiki said looking at the angry snake mistress.

"What the hell is the meaning of this?!" she showed him the bag with the empty dango sticks" there isn't a single dango left here those gluttons eat every single one and they left me with nothing!"

"I can see that Anko but you should know you're not the only one who eats dango in the department. You obviously arrived a little too late to eat your share" replied Ibiki.

Anko growled" I was the one who suggested that we buy dango here damn it and it was bought with my money and I didn't eat nothing when I get my hands on those glutton bastards they will feel my wrath, I will use a snake to bite their balls!"

"Perhaps you should calm down and buy more dango" Inoichi said giving the suggestion.

"Hell yes that's what I'm going to do but it sucks I have to waste more money when those gluttons should be the one buying for me!" she growled before looking at Ino" you blondie you're coming with me!"

The Yamanaka frowned for calling her blondie" what…me?"

"Yeah you're going to share your money with me to buy the dango."

"Now hold on a minute Anko Ino has nothing to do with this. Why are you making her pay half for the dango?" Inoichi said.

"Because I said so unless you want to find for me every single glutton who ate my dango right now?"

"That will take a while almost every member of the interrogation team have their hands full with prisoners and paperwork" Ibiki said.

"Thought so meaning blondie here has to pay half."

"It's Ino…." she frowned again not liking the snake mistress one bit' she's loud and annoying reminds me of Naruto.'

"Whatever let's get going already the sooner we arrive the sooner I can eat dango" replied the snake mistress leaving the office with Ino following her.

Ibiki shook his head" that woman will never change."

"No kidding" Inoichi replied.

Anko and Ino left the interrogation department heading into the streets of the village. The Yamanaka was gazing at the snake mistress in a new light she knew she needed some serious training but she didn't know who to get it from. There were a lot of strong jounins in Konoha who could help her a lot but most of them were always busy on missions. Her gaze fell once again on Anko who was still looking pissed about what happened with the dango but she noticed something was up as she walked the streets with the snake mistress. She saw that the villagers they were passing by were giving Anko some nasty glares it was like they hate her a lot making her think their actions on her. It also made her think that she has seen this before, it was the same look they used to give to Naruto.

'I wonder what she did to them to make them so angry at her….they look like they want to kill her.'

Anko kept her gaze at the road ahead not bothering to look at the villagers passing by. This was the reason why she didn't wanted to go and buy the dango herself which she always asked someone else to buy them for her namely Kurenai but she was busy taking care of her daughter. It was always the same whenever she will go into the streets even if they were some people who stopped but most of them haven't and they always glared at her whenever they saw her. She kept her expression calm instead of getting angry and blow one of her temper tantrums because she didn't wanted to cause a scene in the streets especially with her reputation. Without wasting her breath on the villagers she ignored the glares like she has always done and continue walking the streets with Ino following her close by.

'Hmph…same old look after all these years they still see me the same like I could care less what they think of me assholes.'

'Maybe I should try my luck with her' Ino thought looking at the snake mistress who changed topic and went to the original topic she was thinking since she left the interrogation' she is strong a bit loud and annoying as hell but I will never know until I give it a try, maybe she won't be so bad after all.'

"Damn it I'm hungry I want some dango!" Anko shouted out loud getting the attention from the villagers while Ino sweat dropped at her loudness.

'Then again maybe not' she sighed looking at her" listen um….Anko-san?"

"Call me Anko only I don't like honorifics" she replied in an annoying tone.

The Yamanaka nodded" Anko I've been wondering you see I kind want to get strong and I've been thinking…."

"No" she quickly replied interrupting the bleach blond.

"I haven't even finish!" Ino said annoyed.

"But I know what you want to ask me. You want me to help you in your training fat chance not interested blondie."

"I told you my name is Ino!"

"Fine the answer is no boar."

"What?" Ino was puzzled by the last part.

"Your name means boar so you prefer if I call you boar or blondie?" Anko gave a grin.

The Yamanaka frowned at her comment" how about none of the above and call me by my real name?!"

"Sure thing those last names are ridiculous for a kunoichi anyway."

'Argh….she is so annoying why the heck I'm bothering myself in asking her to train me?!' she growled" why won't you at least give me a chance to prove myself if I'm worthy to be train by you?!"

The snake mistress stopped walking before she gazed at Ino" look kid it's not that I don't want to train you it's just that I don't feel like it. I don't have the slightest interest in taking an apprentice it's boring to even think that someone actually wants to follow in my footsteps."

"Is it boring or perhaps there's something else?" Ino gazed at her and she was no longer annoyed by her attitude she gazed around the streets making sure there weren't many people around" because I don't think you feel bore in taking a student maybe you're ashamed."

Anko snorted" please I have no idea what you're talking about?"

"I noticed the way the villagers have been looking at you" she paused seeing that the jounin was shocked" I won't ask why but they all seem to hate you just by looking at their faces. Maybe you feel ashamed in taking an apprentice that he or she might get hated by the villagers too."

Anko's eyes widened in pure shock she just couldn't believe what she just heard. A girl she hardly knows was able to see through her façade and the reason why she wasn't interested in taking a student, she didn't wanted no one to follow in her footsteps. Although she was shocked in her mind she was smiling at the Yamanaka's guess she was very close to the truth.

'Not ashamed it's afraid….' her brown eyes softened before she started walking and Ino followed her.

"Anko?" Ino got worried hoping that her comment didn't anger the snake mistress.

"Heh you speak half the truth Ino" she finally called her by her name" maybe you might have some potential to become my apprentice after all."

The bleach blond smiled happily" then does that mean you will take me as you apprentice?"

"No."

"What?!" Ino face faulted for getting her hopes high she got up quickly looking annoyed" why not?!"

"I told you I don't feel like it I'm not in the mood to be babysitting" replied the snake mistress as she saw her favorite dango shop nearby she smiled" were finally here come on remember that you're paying the other half."

Ino suddenly got an idea and grinned at her" how about we make a deal?"

"A deal what do you have in mind?" she asked not sounding interested walking towards the dango shop.

"If you take me as you apprentice then I will buy you the dango completely without you paying for half and I will also buy you all the dango you want."

That was enough to convinced the snake mistress as her decision made a complete 180 degree turn in changing her mind, she put her arm around the Yamanaka with a smile" welcome aboard Ino you are officially my first apprentice!"

Ino sweat dropped but she was smiling' that was fast.'

"I can't believe Anko accepted to make you her student just by buying her all the dango she wanted she's not that cheap eh?" Naruto said with a chuckle.

"I know the training was worth it but it was very painful for my wallet it's a good thing I saved enough money from doing missions. But anyway that's the truth ever since I started hearing the rumors about you I suddenly felt like I wanted to get strong, Kitsune Flash was my inspiration to become strong. So in other words you Naruto are the reason I became the kunoichi I am today it's all thanks to you" she smiled at him.

The tall blond scratched the back of his head while blushing" er…..thanks Ino but I think it's mostly thanks to you for deciding to train under Anko I really don't have nothing to do about it."

"Didn't you hear me I say that you're the source of my inspiration to become strong so you have every reason that I thank you?"

"If you say so…but anyway how was the training with Anko?"

Ino sighed" I'll be honest with you it was true hell. It was the most horrible and tiring experience in my entire life Anko sensei really worked me up."

"Whoa so it was that bad and you're still in one piece" replied the blond.

"I should tell you about the beginning of the training which was survival. You remember the forest of death right?"

"Yeah that was the place where we took the second test of the chunin exams."

"Well the first part was already marked as the worst experience in my whole life" replied the bleach blond she grimaced a little remembering that horrible experience.

(Location: forest of death Konoha hidden leaf village fire country territory)

"You want me to what?!!" Ino shouted at the top of her lungs.

Anko covered her ears to prevent them from bleeding because of the Yamanaka's loud yell" what's the big deal you have already being here when you took the second test of the chunin exams?"

"Yeah but that was for three days and even back then me and my teammates managed to pass the test it less than that. But what you're asking me is to stay in this forsaken forest for three freaking months!"

"Don't be such a scary cat the key to this exercise is survival. As a ninja you were taught survival tips at the academy and this is the best way to test those tips if you survive in this forest for three months you will pass the first part of our training."

"This isn't exactly what I was expecting from the training I thought you were going to teach me some jutsu, or work on my taijutsu, genjutsu well I need to get better on all three skills."

Anko grinned" if you survive this exercise then I will train you I promise."

"You can't be serious you can't expect me to stay in this forest for three months I'll go crazy!" Ino was starting to freak out."

The snake mistress grinned" don't worry you won't be lonely here there are the insects and wild animals and the poison plants. So you have plenty of company with you, you will never be alone."

"That's not what I'm talking about!"

"Well better start preparing to survive here I'll come back to visit you in three months farewell!"

"Wait come back don't leave me here!!!"

But she was too late Anko has vanished in a cloud of smoke and Ino was left in the dark forest all alone. She sighed and admitted that she needed to get through this as part of her training with the snake mistress although she made a mental note to yell at her when she sees her again. She finally admitted that she needed to go through with this as part of her training with Anko, then again the possibility that this was all a hoax from the snake mistress was very convincing all the better for her to give her a piece of her mind when she sees her again. She needed to act fast and really use the survival tips she was taught at the academy after all she was going to stay here for three months. It was time to put her survival skills to use in this exercise she was going to prove to Anko that she was a true kunoichi, this was the beginning of her test to become strong like Kitsune Flash. She looked around gazing at the forest in general namely the trees the first thing she was going to need to do is build a place to sleep. She noticed some of the tree was thin enough for her to cut with her kunais she knew what to do.

'Time to survive I'm really going to use those survival tips now.'

So Ino started surviving in the forest of death for three months. The Yamanaka use her tips well and she dedicated to use the most important tips to survive those were food, water and a place to sleep. She first chose an isolated location in the forest that wasn't occupied by animals or insects in order for her to build her small house which it was just a roof with some small trees holding it. She wasn't a master in building houses so she didn't care how it looked like. The second thing she did was locating a possible water source so she could drink and wash herself. Luckily she found a river not too far from where she build her small house. Once she found water and a place to live she started her search for food she went hunting for any animals she might encounter, in addition she sharpen her kunais and shurikens so they become more effective when using them on her hunt. When she started hunting she was very lucky that she was attacked by a giant centipede she couldn't have asked for a better meal. She used her ninja skills while releasing her kunais and shurikens on the giant insect which the giant centipede never stood a chance against the blond kunoichi in the first place. She cut the giant insect in small pieces before grinning she has found her food to survive because she had plenty of food to last her for three months. She grinned it seems she was going to pull through in the first part of her training. This exercise wasn't going to be as hard as she thought it will be.

That's how Ino has been spending her time during the upcoming three months at the forest of death. It was always the same every day she will wake up wash herself on the river, she will eat a piece from the giant centipede which she made the comment that it tasted like chicken and she will take a quick look around the perimeter around the forest. However the thought of living the forest never crossed since it was an exercise training and she wanted to show Anko that she has what it takes to be her apprentice. When she encountered an animal she will fight it off using her fighting skills as well as her weapons and she proved to be a tough fighter even if she needed some training to reach her potential. Pretty soon she started getting used living in the forest of death she got the hang of surviving in the dark forest rather quickly. The survival exercises has also helped her to strengthen and developed her independence to rely on her own when she was only alone. She smiled she has come to like Anko's decision in doing this exercise now she knew that the snake mistress has done the right thing in giving her this survival exercise. All she needed is to continue living in the forest for three months which she thought it was going to be easy, or so she believes.

(Time skip: one month later)

After one month Ino has become a true survivor in the forest of death she was having a camp fire since it was dark but she was bothered thinking about other things. After living on her own for a while all alone in a forest she started getting lonely. She started thinking about her friends and family she really missed them so much. She wasn't the kind of person to be lonely or even feel loneliness because she was always surrounded by people that care for her it brought her times to her eyes. She thought of everyone that was precious to her, her best friend Sakura who was suffering from depression because of her. Her mother and father who raised her and always supported her, her teammates Shikamaru and Chouji who became good friends of her even if she didn't believe it at first. The rest of the rookies' team eight and team Gai but there was one person that came to her mind quickly and she never realized that she was day dreaming about that person. She thought about his spiky golden sun hair his cerulean eyes and his whisker marks on his cheeks the blond ninja who didn't know the meaning of the word give up and had a dream of becoming Hokage. She didn't know why but she smiled just thinking about him while not knowing why there were some feelings in her heart that she didn't understood, it was the same thing with her inspiration and idol Kitsune Flash.

'I'm going to become Hokage someday yeah right….' she thought with a smile thinking of Naruto' loudmouth knucklehead'

She didn't know why her heart skipped a beat and her cheeks had a tint of pink on her cheeks. She also didn't know why she was thinking about Naruto's smiling face or when de did his trademark fox grin. She giggled thinking about the blond ninja and when he did some of his pranks she admitted that they were funny but she only thought of him as annoying and the dead last. Her eyes softened remembering how she used to treat him when she was little and she felt ashamed of herself for being so mean to him. She felt a tinge of pain coming from her heart that made tears formed at the corner of her eyes. She gasped realizing something she never thought which scared her so much, the mere thought frightened her a lot. It was impossible to believe she didn't wanted to admit it, the reason why she had unknown feelings for a certain blond ninja. Her eyes widened in horror she shocked stun she couldn't move at what she was realizing.

'No way….what's wrong with me….why am I thinking so much about Naruto he's loud and annoying and he's…..kindhearted and loyal with the way he's around with Sakura. She's so lucky to have him yet she realized it a little too late and now she's suffering for her mistake. I envy you Sakura so much I wish Naruto will notice me and give me his attention I need him…I oh my no it's can't be NO!!!'

She got up freaking out looking around the forest' it can't be….no this is wrong I must have been too long in this forest that I'm going crazy my mind must not be working right. It's impossible I…I don't have feelings for him I don't like him, I barely saw him because were in different teams so how the heck I like him. It's not true I don't like Naruto!'

She shook her head rapidly denying any of the hidden feeling she has been keeping inside of her for a long time, she refused to admit that she like the blond ninja' it's not true it's not true….I don't like him I don't like him I don't like him…..I don't like Naruto I'm going crazy I'm going crazy I'm going crazy I'M GOING CRAZY!!!'

Sadly for Ino she wasn't going crazy literally she was more crazy in love with Naruto even if she deny it a thousand times, a thousand times it was going to be confirmed as true. She got seated as she wrapped her arms on her knees and started repeating to herself that she didn't had any feelings for the blond ninja. But she knew she was lying to herself as she slowly in time she realized she did developed a small crush on the loud blond prankster that soon the crush slowly turned into something more and strong. She started sobbing letting her tears fall knowing that it was true how could she have deny these feelings for so long. She was completely unaware how much she started liking Naruto little by little and the times it made her angry to see him with her rival Sakura along with Sasuke. Her rival best friend was the one that had the best team the Uchiha prodigy and the annoying loudmouth but kindhearted and loyal friend who will do anything to have her affections. She slowly dried her tears and had to come clean that she did have developed feelings for the blond and she didn't know what to do since he wasn't coming back to the village for a couple of years more. Trying to forget about the topic she picked some of the centipede pieces she has saved and started cooking it on the fire, she was going to eat before sleeping.

'I like Naruto….I don't believe it I really do like him…'

(Time skip: two months later)

Anko appeared where her student has been living since she left her at the forest. She spotted Ino smiling at her although she looked different. The Yamanaka had her interrogation uniform dirty and ripped in some places she was also dirty and her hair looked like she was experiencing a bad hair day. It couldn't be help since she didn't have anything available to help her brush her hair, she really looked like a total wreck. The snake mistress grinned a little at the sight although she was expecting to see her worst but seeing her that she was alive and well made her worthy and that she was ready for the next part of the training.

She didn't erase her smile" congratulations Ino you have passed the first part of the training I knew you could do it!"

"Yeah right…" Ino mumble not believing her one bit.

"Come on you don't believe me I mean it I had a feeling you were going to survive in the forest of death you have the face of a true survivor?!"

The Yamanaka sighed" whatever can I get the hell out of here I am so tire?"

"Sure thing and also…" she sniffed the bleach blond before turning away from her giving a disgusted expression" you stink you need a damn shower didn't you took one with the rivers of the forest?"

Ino frowned at her" well excuse me if I couldn't fully wash myself because I didn't had a freaking soap, you think washing myself with only water is going to clean my body and get rid of the damn dirt and bacteria I have right now?!"

The snake mistress grinned at her attitude' I like her she has spunk looks like I won't be regretting taking her as my apprentice after all.'

"Let's get going so you can take a full shower no way in hell I'm training you when you smell like old cheese."

"As if!" growled the bleach blond.

"Wow!" Naruto said in awe hearing Ino's story" I always thought Anko was scary and sadistic but this she really over did it by doing that to you. I can't believe you stayed three months at the forest of death it must have been terrible for you I really didn't like that forest one bit when we took the second test of the chunin exams."

"Actually it wasn't as hard as I thought I just followed the ninja survival tips we learned at the academy they saved my life. I did learn a very important lesson from that exercise though."

"What's that?"

"The giant centipede tasted like chicken" replied the Yamanaka with a laugh.

Both teens shared a laughed together before looking at each other with a smile. Ino smiled before looking at the window from their cart of the Ferris wheel although she was feeling a little embarrassed which it was the reason she didn't wanted to look into his face she wanted to tell him the truth. She wasn't ready to confess her feelings for him but she wanted to tell him something else which she wanted to tell him for a while. She took a soft deep breath hiding her uncertainty this was the perfect chance and time to tell him.

"You know Naruto" she spoke getting the attention from the blond" there is another reason why I wanted to train with Anko sensei."

"Besides getting strong?" asked Naruto.

"Yeah I noticed about Anko sensei that the villagers are always glaring at her with so much hatred. I didn't know why they were looking at her like they want to kill her until I found out why" by now she was gazing at him.

Naruto was now interested in the conversation the Yamanaka has really caught his attention. Hearing that he felt déjà vu all over again the way Ino talked about the glares her teacher was receiving from the villagers seems to be the same kind of glares he was receiving for being the container of the Kyuubi. He didn't know why someone like Anko will be hated she wasn't a jinchurikki like him so why in the world will they give her death glares. Ino saw the gazed of the tall blond and she could tell that he was in deep thought it has hit him because she knew he received the same treatment from the people of Konoha.

"I never knew she was hated by the villagers I just didn't notice since I never meet up with her again since the chunin exams why would they hate her?" replied the blond.

"It's because she was Orochimaru's apprentice" the platinum blond said holding her anger.

"What?" Naruto was dumbfounded by the answer.

"It's because Orochimaru betrayed Konoha and became a missing nin that the villagers started hating her that's it. I think that's the most pathetic excuse to look down on someone and hate for something she's not responsible, I mean Anko sensei was his student but that doesn't mean she will follow in her teacher's footsteps and become a missing nin herself. It sickens me the lengths they will go to treat her like she was evil like that snake freak when she doesn't deserve such treatment in the first place when she's actually one of the most loyal ninjas in Konoha!" her baby blue eyes flared with anger.

"What a ridiculous excuse to hate her" Naruto said with a growl not believing such that the villagers will hate her for something so stupid.

"I know even to this very day they still hate her and glared at her why can't they understand that she's not evil that she's not Orochimaru?!" tears were forming at the corner of her eyes" but it will always be the same to them every time they looked at Anko sensei…"

"They only see Orochimaru" Naruto said for the Yamanaka" I know all about that the villagers looked at me and they only saw the fox but that change little by little I just can't believe it hasn't change for Anko. Hating her because her teacher became a traitor is stupid I guess since the villagers hated Orochimaru for his betrayal they need to take their anger and frustration on someone, I guess his student will be suited better for their target."

"I know about that it's not right to take their hatred for Orochimaru on her. Have they asked themselves how it must have been for her how painful it must have been for Anko sensei to live her life when she has been hated almost her entire life?!"

"Is that why you wanted to become her apprentice Ino?" asked the tall blond" you wanted to be there for her as her friend?"

"That's one of the reasons, I wanted to understand her pain so I might be able to understand your pain too Naruto…." she gazed at him with so much affection in her eyes.

Naruto blush feeling his heart skipping a beat" what…?"

The Yamanaka blushed looking at him" I thought while getting stronger training under Anko sensei I might understand her pain her loneliness. Then maybe I might be able to understand your pain too I might have been able to see what it was like to be all alone and hated. The three years I spent training with her I really did understood her pain the more she continue training me she started opening up to me and I was so happy. I signed the snake contract and I learned some jutsus with her along with some techniques in interrogation, we both forged a typical teacher and student bond."

"Ever since I became her apprentice Anko sensei started sharing her experience while being hated by the villagers it made me cry but I understood what she was going through. I realized that it was the same pain you have been enduring for a long time Naruto, to think I used to be one of those people that treated you badly along with Sakura."

"Ino we already been through with this topic before" Naruto replied not sounding happy remembering how much pain she and Sakura went through.

"I know I know but I really do want to understand you more I mean it. I finally know and I'm sorry for both you and Anko sensei to go through so much hell when it's none of your fault. I'm happy I managed to know more about the two of you because it makes me feel less guilty I feel sorry for both of you. Anko sensei told me that she was proud of me she even said that I have given her hope to feel better about herself who know she may take another apprentice soon" she wipe some tears that were forming from her eyes.

Naruto smiled as he got closer to her and put his arm around her feeling happy for her. He never thought she will go through such lengths to understand his pain as well as Anko's all the better reason why she was his friend and someone very close to him. In his heart he held a special place for the Yamanaka but he didn't know why his heart was beating so fast and the presence of some unknown feelings that have resurfaced since he first laid eyes on her since his five year returned to Konoha. He just wanted to hold her and show her how happy he was with her while the platinum blond was happy with his affectionate action that she was blushing a bit.

He smiled gazing at her" Ino you don't know how much it means to me that you feel that way. I am happy that you accepted me as your friend and leader I'm very proud of you thank you."

The Yamanaka's blush got worse as she smiled back at him feeling her heart beat increasing speed" I want to tell you that I'm very happy to be part of your team and to have you as my leader. Traveling with you, Sakura and Hinata have become one of the best moments of my life I have gotten closer to them and they have become my closest friends. I just hope I have gotten closer to you Naruto even…if you're afraid of me…" her baby blue eyes softened remembering what Sakura said to her.

Naruto blinked" whoa wait a minute what are you talking about why should I be afraid of you?" he raised an eyebrow finding in it a little funny.

The platinum blond bit her upper lip at her mistake for mentioning it but she knew that she couldn't hide it now the truth was out" because I'm always trying to get into your pants and the fact that you turn me down this morning so I eventually thought you were afraid of me and you were being more distant towards me."

The tall blond gazed at her blinking before he started laughing" I don't believe this you think I will be afraid of you because you're always seducing me oh come on Ino don't be silly I'm not afraid of you at all. I will never be afraid of a beautiful woman who wants to get some of me" he finished with a perverted grin.

The Yamanaka blushed by his comment and her heart was once again beating fast she gasped when Naruto pulled her closer to him" N…Naruto?!"

Naruto took a sniffed loving her smell a lot" I did turn you down but that was because I did have some business this morning but I didn't intended to reject you Ino. Why would I reject someone as sexy and gorgeous as you?"

The platinum blond was still blushing and she shivered in anticipation hearing those words. She shivered again as Naruto kissed her cheek and he started giving trails of kisses all the way to her neck. She felt her whole body getting hot feeling those kisses as she gave a soft moan right now her hormones were getting out of control. Did he even knew what he was doing he was making her go crazy and it wouldn't be long before she reaches critical level and decides to get taken over by her raging desires to rape his ass of just like she has been fantasizing for a long time. By now she felt her panties getting wet as Naruto continued his kiss therapy on her face and neck and she couldn't help but moan in approval because she was loving every minute of it.

"You're playing with fire here Uzumaki if you keep this up you will get burn" she replied in a sultry arouse tone giving him a warning to stop or she will attack him with her own lust and desire.

The tall blond stopped kissing her before he gave a playful grin wanting to tease her his own way" then so beat it I will burn in hell."

Before Ino counters his little sexual torture game the Ferris wheel started moving again after a while. Naruto stopped his therapy on the bleach blond leaving her hanging and rather horny which she didn't like it. If he started this he should finish it but she restrained herself since they were going to leave the ride so she stopped her raging hormones from going into overdrive for now. Soon their cart arrived at the bottom and they left the ride and they were walking once again the crowded streets of the carnival. Right now she was pissed at Naruto for teasing her like that she was bothered and most of all she was horny. He had no right to do that especially when she knew that he wasn't ready to lose his virginity to yet he was a teaser and that gives him the right to seduce her and turn her on. The platinum blond wasn't going to let this go without getting some revenge and the blond hunk next to her. She licked her lips a little revenge for her was going to be very sweet and satisfying indeed. She grinned evilly when she saw the exact thing she needed to pull her twisted game, the ride she has been looking for in the entire carnival.

She took the hand of the blond while smiling" Naruto I saw the next ride for us to take let's go!"

"Hey hold it Ino not so fast!"

She took the tall blond into a long tunnel looking ride and lucky for them they weren't any people waiting in line so they got on immediately. Unfortunately for Naruto he never took the time to read the sign of the ride which said "The tunnel of love"

'You're going to pay for pulling that stunt on me Naruto you will feel pain, pleasurable pain that is' the Yamanaka thought with a grin.

They step on a boat which had the shape of a swan and the boat went it's through a river in the long tunnel. For some reason Naruto had a bad feeling about this ride the tunnel they have entered was a little dark until he saw the decoration all over the tunnel which were many hearts and the figure with wings a bow and an arrow which he was known as cupid. It was at that specific figure that the tall blond got an idea where he was and he turned pale with horror praying that he wasn't where he thought he was, hoping it wasn't true. He gazed at Ino who was smiling sweetly at him holding the urge to give him a big evil grin because she had him right where she wants him. She was going to enjoy this so much all for the purpose to teach him a lesson he should know by now that when he teases Yamanaka Ino she will tease back big time.

"Pretty ride isn't it?" she said with a sweet adorable look which was bullshit from her part.

"Um….Ino what kind of ride is this?" Naruto made a small gulp.

Ino couldn't take it anymore she grinned" do you really want to know?"

"Yes but I think I have an idea please tell me I'm wrong."

She reached to his ear ready to whisper to him very seductively" this is the tunnel of love."

The blonds' eyes widened" I was right…"

He didn't have another chance to say another word as Ino pinned him to the boat and she was now on top of him in a sexual position. The Yamanaka licked her lips as she began to grind her hips making Naruto groaned while his manhood reacted getting hard. The platinum blond couldn't help it as a moan escaped her lips as she felt his manhood pocking between her legs it felt so good namely her pussy. They haven't even taken their clothes off and the feeling both ninjas were feeling was very good and pleasurable. Naruto saw the expression on the Yamanaka's face which it was clear that she was horny and she was willing to go all the way with him. No matter how good it felt he hated himself but he still wasn't ready for this and even if he has already neglected to go all the way with three beautiful women before he couldn't go through with him. His hormones were raging reaching critical level he needed to stop this but it felt so right and so good he saw Ino as she started to speed up her actions moaning more frequently loving the teasing of having sex with their clothes on.

"Ino….oh shit we….can't do this I….damn I can feel how wet you are…."

"Mmm…ooohhh Naruto ooohhh I can feel your cock pocking me touching my pussy….I can feel you…you're quite big ooohhh!!!"

"Ino please don't….I know you don't want to rush this we just can't…."

The Kyuubi was hearing the entire time and he got pissed with his container" brat I swear if you screw up again I will take over and finish the job for you now stop being such a pussy and get some of that blond vixen!"

'I didn't ask for your opinion fur ball!'

Ino growled seeing his arousing expression while trying to hold his hormones from taking over him completely" shut up you had this coming this is your punishment for what you did to me back at the Ferris wheel now be a man and fight it!"

"What I was just teasing you?!"

"Well I'm teasing too sweet heart!"

"No you're not oh damn it…..I was just kissing your face and your neck I wasn't doing you with my clothing on!"

"Too bad this is how I tease you should know who I am Naruto sweetie. I am Kitsune Temptress temptation is my specialty but don't worry the game will end right now" the platinum blond grinned at her fallen prey.

"Ino please…you say that tonight my virginity will be safe."

"I did but that won't mean that I'm not going to take the opportunity to make out with you right?" she smile seductively at him.

The tall blond felt relief before he gave a smirk at the bleach blond now that was something he couldn't refuse" make out sounds good."

"I knew you will agree with me."

Ino cupped her hands on his face and brought his face closer to her as they both shared a deep passionate kiss. As soon as their lips made contact both teens moaned in each other's moan proving how good the kiss is soon Ino moved her hands to the back of Naruto's neck while he wrapped his arms around her waist enjoying the kiss a lot. Soon both ninjas started opening their mouths letting their tongues entered as they started having a passionate battle. As they begin their tongue kissing their moans intensify as they got lost in the heated kiss. Soon both teens started exploring each other's body without taking any of their clothes off. Ino let go of the blonds' neck and started running her hands all over his shirt feeling his muscles and she love what she was touching. It felt like touching a hard brick wall proving how well build Naruto has become because of his hard training. She felt herself getting even wetter than before touching his hard chest she was truly loving this make out session so far.

'Mmm…damn kissing the real Naruto is way better than kissing his shadow clone' she remembered when she kissed his shadow clone during their first date back at Konoha.

Naruto was losing his restraints completely on his hormones kissing the platinum blond. He admitted that after kissing Mai, Shion and Koyuki he admitted that kissing Ino was way better than them. He ran his hands all over her back reaching her head caressing her long blond hair. His actions made the Yamanaka moaned softly through the intense kiss she approved of his action. His hormones kicked in slightly as his hand reached down and grabbed her ass making the bleach gasped in surprise but she moaned in approval. Naruto started squeezing Ino's ass and he took it a little further as he lifted her skirt revealing her purple thong. He felt his manhood reaching his erection limit it looked like it was ready to explode from his pants due to he was touching the Yamanaka's ass and it felt incredible. He teased the bleach blond by giving her ass a couple of spankings in which she moaned loudly loving the spanks a lot. But he knew his actions had some consequences to a certain platinum blond.

Ino was reaching her limit the make out session was turning her on a lot. Plus the spanking she was receiving from the tall blond were driving her crazy fueling her hormones going into overdrive. Her moans were getting louder and passionate and she was getting desperate she quickly took Naruto's hands and made him touched her breasts which made the tall blond to get hornier than ever. It was evident that both teens have reached their limit and they over did it in their make out session they were now taking a path leading to some hardcore kinky action. She was already too wet that her juices were leaking out from her panties falling like and endless waterfall.

"Naruto ooohhhh yeah ooooh more please fondle my breasts more!!!"

"Ino you're so beautiful your breasts feel so good!"

'Oh dear Kami I want him!!!' shouted mentally the desperate Ino who has finally reached her limit in her arousal.

She finally snapped as she pushed him to the edge of the swan boat and she reached his pants unbuttoning them which caught the attention of the tall blond who got worried with her action.

"Ino what are you doing?"

"Was it look like I'm doing stud?" she replied huskily while licking her lips" I'm feeling hot you're feeling hot too and I think we both want to go to next level of this little make out session."

"Ino…no wait believe me I'm feeling so hot right now but please I'm not ready I know it sounds stupid but I can't do this…."

"The great Kitsune Flash is a stupid pussy who's afraid to get his dick wet this will be the fourth one it's a new record!" the Kyuubi replied obviously he was pissed with turning down yet another girl.

'Just shut up already fox!'

Ino however didn't listened to him and proceed with unbuttoning his pants which she succeeded and now she was staring at his orange boxes. Her eyes widened as she grin like a pervert seeing the large tent that has formed due to his erection while Naruto was freaking out trying to remain calm.

"Ino didn't you hear me I said I'm not ready don't make this harder than it already is?!"

"Hum…that's a dumb question Naruto I can see that you're already as hard as a rock so it can't get any harder than this" smirked the horny Yamanaka staring at the large tent in his boxers.

"You know what I'm talking about so quit with the sex jokes" Naruto blushed from the small complimenting on his manhood.

"Your mind may say no but your big friend down here says a big yes get it big I said another sex joke?!"

"Stop it already please Ino I know you're very committed to go through with this but seriously I'm not."

"Not committed horny silly, but I mean it Naruto stop acting like a pussy and let me fuck you already be a man and show me what you got you already have the package."

"Finally someone is talking some sense because my pussy container needs it he values his virginity more than his stupid ramen."

'I'm ignoring you fox.'

Ino sighed seeing the uncertain expression on the blond so it couldn't be help" fine Naruto tell you what we won't have sex however I'm still horny and I want to do something naughty so…"

Naruto sighed in relief hearing that until he saw the platinum blond reaching to his boxers" Ino you said no sex so what are you doing?!"

"I said no sex but I didn't say nothing about not giving you oral sex."

Naruto blinked how he could have been so stupid and forget all about oral sex. If Jiraiya found out that he forgot one of the fundamentals about sex he will be very ashamed of him of ever being his successor. He didn't have anything against oral sex so he wouldn't mind at all it was something he was looking forward to.

He grinned at the Yamanaka" go ahead Ino do it make sure you make me cum and swallow it too."

The platinum blond nodded grinning before giving a smile pulling down his boxers" we let's see….holy shit!"

Ino stood wide eyes at what she was seeing. She was finally seeing for the first time Naruto's manhood which was very impressive size she didn't know what to say because of her shock. His dick probably was like twelve to thirteen inches in length which was truly impressive for someone in Naruto's age. Soon her shock vanished and was replace with a wicked grin as she grabbed the hug pillar of flesh making Naruto groaned and she gave it a few strokes.

"Ino!" Naruto moaned feeling the strokes.

"My my Naruto you're very big who would ever thought?"

"Less talking and more sucking!" protested the horny Naruto.

"As you wish you're the leader."

Ino decided to tease him first so she started giving a few licks to his shaft she did it very slowly in a torture like way making Naruto groaned feeling the amazing sensations. As she licked his shaft she noticed how much his dick was throbbing like crazy it seems it was begging for her mouth to take it completely if she can that is. She started speeding up her licks on his shaft and she added the bonus of stroking it too making the tall blond moaned truly loving the experience of his first blow job. Ino saw that Naruto already had some pre cum at the tip of his shaft and she licked it off meaning that it wouldn't be long before he reaches his climax so she decided to go with the main event.

"Ino put it in your mouth already!" shouted the desperate Naruto.

The platinum blond complied as she opened her mouth as wide as she could ready to receive his big cock. She inserted the big pillar of flesh inside of her mouth making Naruto groaned in surprise because it felt so good. Ino started bobbing her head up and down rapidly giving her blond love true pleasure as he was moaning at how good it felt. While training with Jiraiya he has told him about oral sex and he never knew it will feel this good he was truly in pure bliss. The feeling of Ino's mouth and tongue licking his cock was amazing he tried to be strong and not reached his climax yet he wanted to continue feeling this pleasure for a while. The Yamanaka was sucking him like a vacuum making moaned louder as he touched her head made her sucked him all the way but platinum blond couldn't do it which she was having trouble so far.

'Mmmm…damn he's freaking huge it can barely fit in my mouth.'

"Oh shit Ino that's right suck it faster work your tongue all over it!"

Ino loved his pleasurable expression proving that she was doing a very good job on her blond leader. In truth this was her first trying oral sex and she thought she wouldn't be able to go through with it since she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to do a good job. Luckily for her Anko also gave her tips about sex especially in oral sex thanks to her blow job lessons she knew what to do and how to work a man's dick with the purpose to give him great pleasure and reached his orgasm quickly. Not just Naruto but she was enjoying this very much she was already wet and hot she eventually end up reaching to her panties and started rubbing her clit because she couldn't take it anymore. Giving Naruto and masturbating at the same time was what she had in mind in the first place because she respects Naruto's decision about not having sex due that he wasn't ready. Although he thought he was stupid for not wanting to have sex with her but she erased the thought and focus on the oral sex and masturbation in hand. She rubbed her clit faster and she couldn't believe that she already reached her orgasm proving that she was that aroused she was truly on a hair trigger.

"Ino yeah don't stop suck it all the way you're doing an amazing job!" Naruto moaned while taking some of her hair out of the way he wanted to see her gorgeous face sucking his dick.

"Mmmmmmmm…." the Yamanaka recuperated from her release but she resumed her sucking like nothing happened.

"Yeah Ino I'm almost at my limit don't forget to swallow it all!"

Ino stopped her sucking looking at him with arousing eyes she was now stroking his hard cock" you're going to cum go ahead Naruto sweetie cum for me, I want you to cum a lot so I can swallow every last bit!" she licked his shaft rapidly making the tall blond groaned.

That was enough for Naruto he knew it he was reaching his climax no matter how much he wanted to continue feeling the pleasure he knew he has reached the end of the line and he was ready to face his orgasm. It turn him on to see the Yamanaka stroking his cock rapidly while hungrily licking his shaft the memory will be forever recorded in his mind forever. He couldn't hold it anymore he has reached his climax and it was going to be a huge explosion.

"Ino I'm going to come!!!"

As soon as she heard that the platinum blond took his cock in her mouth and resumed her blow job before she gasped in shock.

"I'm coming!!!"

The Yamanaka really felt it the huge load from Naruto's release. Ino felt the hot load of cum gushing inside of her mouth it was a lot that her cheeks got all puffy from the huge load. She wasn't going to let this stop her slowly she started swallowing Naruto's cum enjoying the taste of the white creamy fluid. She removed her mouth from his hard cock while Naruto was panting from the aftermath of his orgasm staring at the blond beauty who gave him one hell of a blow job. He grinned seeing Ino's cheeks all puffed from having so much cum in her mouth but little she managed to swallow every single drop just like he told her, she was truly obedient taking orders from him. Some of the cum escaped her mouth reaching the corners of her mouth but bleach blond pick it up with her fingers preventing it from falling and swallow it like the good obedient girl she is. Once he swallowed all of his cum the Yamanaka smiled at him as she grabbed his cock and gave it a couple of strokes making sure there wasn't any single drop available she has really sucked him dry.

She gave a couple of licks to his shaft before giving it a sweet kiss" there that wasn't so bad was it?"

"Oh no that was…wow…I mean incredible Ino" Naruto replied still panting.

The platinum blond giggled" I'm glad you like it sweetie you really came a lot I think I drank a whole gallon of your cum. I just hope you have enough for next time" she finished with a grin.

The tall blond grinned back at her" oh don't worry I assure you I will have plenty again for round two."

"Heh not so bad brat I thought you were going to chicken out like the pussy that you are but after this I kind of change my opinion on you. It's not over until you go all the way with one of those vixens" the Kyuubi replied sounding amused.

'Since when have you become my sex judge fur ball whatever?'

Nauto pulled his boxers back on and soon his dick returned to normal she got seated again while Ino got seated next to him. She rest her head on his shoulder and he complied by putting his arm around her. The two teens stood there enjoying what was left of the romantic ride through the tunnel of love until it reached end of the line. Both ninjas left the ride feeling very happy for this evening they have really enjoyed the carnival and they were looking forward to finish what time they had left. Tonight was going to be an evening they will never forget it was their best date ever. Ino gazed at him and she was in deep thought after spending this wonderful evening with him she has finally release how deeply and the lengths of her feelings for him were. She smiled knowing the truth it took her a long time but she finally realized how strong her feelings for him are that was enough to make the happiest girl in the world.

'I think I know why I like him so much…I want to stay by his side forever.'

(Location: inn local town river country territory)

Ino, Sakura and Hinata were in Naruto's room. Ino didn't know what her two friends had in mind until she saw the shopping bags filled with clothes. She was happy when she saw the clothing they bought for her she smiled seeing that they have remember her to buy her something. Now they were waiting for Naruto to leave the bathroom who was trying out some of the clothes the kunoichis had bought for him. Right now she was still thinking about the blow job she gave him but kept the thought hidden for later so she can continue to replya and fantasize about that moment in her sleep. The door of the bathroom finally opened the kunoichi looked eagerly wanting to see their blond leader with the new amazing clothes they had bought for him. Ino blinked in confusion at the sight while Sakura and Hinata gasped in shocked completely different from the platinum blonds' reaction. Naruto was wearing the clothes from the display window of the department store but there was something awfully wrong. The tall blond sweat dropped when he was wearing the clothes which they were obviously too big for him so he didn't look nothing to how Sakura and Hinata were expecting.

"What the…" Ino said at the sight.

"Um….Sakura Hinata these clothes are a little too big for me I feel like a little kid trying to try out his father's clothes" he gave his fox grin because it was funny.

The two kunoichis sighed in depression realizing that they have wasted their money on his clothes for nothing.

"We failed Sakura-san…"

"I know that lady of the store didn't guess it right either" replied the pink haired medic.

"Hey come on now don't get so down about it I'm happy you guys went through a lot of trouble to buy me these clothes I really appreciate it. It's the thought and effort that counts the most and for that thank you very much, now if you'll excuse me I'm going back to change thanks again!"

Naruto went back to the bathroom to change while Sakura and Hinata were still in a depressing move because they failed to buy the right size clothes for their leader.

Ino gazed at her two friends with a puzzle expression" why in the world did you guys bought him those gigantic clothes?"

"We….we didn't know Naruto-kun's clothing size" Hinata said while twiddling her fingers expressing her embarrassment.

The blond blinked" you didn't know you should have asked me then. Naruto is a size thirty eight on chest so XL shirts are more recommended for him, he's also a size 40 on waist and his shoe size is thirteen."

The two kunoichis mouths were wide open in shock hearing that.

"Ino-san!" Hinata started.

"How do you know that?!" Sakura said with a comical look on her face.

The Yamanaka blushed" well I kind of over looked his clothing and saw the size tickets."

They face faulted at their silly mistake for not asking their third friend and Ino just laughed.

Sakura sighed gazing at the bleach blond remembering what she told her this morning" Ino….I'm sorry."

"Huh about what?"

"About what I said to you this morning that you're always trying to get into Naruto's pants I know you were hurt by my comment and for that I'm very sorry."

The Yamanaka laughed" it's all right Sakura you don't have to apologize you were right I am trying to get into his pants I can't help it if I'm that attracted to him. I know very well that I can't force myself on him like that….but that doesn't stop me from trying!" she smiled happily.

The two kunoichis sweat dropped at her comment.

"Oh brother" Sakura said.

"I guess Ino-san will never change" Hinata replied.

"Yup Ino will be Ino."

Ino giggled" peace!"

(Time skip: the next day)

They have changed into their uniforms ready to head out once again to continue with their missions.

However none of them noticed but they were currently being watched, far away on top of a building someone had their sights on them.
