(I got chapter three for you all)

The morning after the night Naruto rescued Ino from the three drunks, the blonde himself was back at home waking up, took a shower, had breakfast, and slipped into Saki's white robe only in his size. He slipped into his ninja sandals and headed out the door to the academy.

He ignored the looks being given at him for not only the regular reasons, but for what he was wearing. Their gazes were focused on the foot crests found on the shoulder areas of his robe. He just ignored them until he reached the academy and entered. When he entered all the other students looked at him oddly, he noticed and spoke out, "What're you looking at?"

"What's with the robe, Naruto?" Shikamaru asked.

"Just a new outfit you know?" Naruto asked.

"Looks pretty pathetic." Sasuke said glancing to him.

"Oh shut your mouth, teme. I didn't ask for your opinion!" Naruto shouted to him.

"Don't you talk to Sasuke-kun that way, baka!" Sakura the leading fan girl scolded him.

Naruto frowned, "Stay out this conversation Haruno! This is none of your affairs!" Naruto shouted in a commanding voice which caused a shock in everyone.

"None of your affairs?" Kiba asked, "Since when did you start using big sentences?"

"A lot of things have changed Kiba, but none of you would really notice seeing as how no one ever noticed me." Naruto said not making eye contact with anyone.

Ino who was watching from opposite desk of Naruto looked at him with concern; she then stood up from the side where Sasuke was with all the fan girls and walked to where Naruto was sitting.

"Can I sit with you today, Naruto?" Ino asked which got every girl in the room confused out of their senses.

Naruto looked at her and smiled, "Sure." So she took the seat next to him.

"Ino, what're you doing?" Sakura cried.

"Sitting down." Ino answered bluntly.

"I can see that!" Sakura shouted, "But why're you sitting next to him?" she pointed at Naruto.

"Do I need a reason to?" Ino asked, "I'm free to sit with whoever I want, especially someone who saved my life last night."

"What?" the students shouted.

"You saved Ino, Naruto?" a big guy named Chouji asked.

"He sure did. He knocked out three drunks with one strike." Ino gloated for Naruto who didn't wanna come off as a big shot, or at least like that.

"Hah, I bet the dobe got lucky. There's no way he could've done that." Sasuke replied.

"If you were there Sasuke you would believe it." Ino replied.

Iruka Umino then entered the class, "All right class today we will be sparing outside today."

Outside, a small arena was set up and students were sparing it out in hand to hand or in whatever Jutsu they knew. Naruto watched as student after student was called up.

"Naruto?" Ino asked as she sat beside him.

"Hi Ino, what's up?" Naruto asked.

"I brought you a little something." Ino said holding out a bento.

"What's this for?" Naruto asked raising a brow.

"A thank you for saving me last night. No one else in our class would've had the guts to do what you did that's for sure." Ino smiled.

"Well thanks," Naruto said as he took the bento and ate it. "It's delicious. Did you make this?"

"Sure did." Ino smiled.

"It's delicious."

"Thanks."

Soon Naruto heard his name called up so he stood up and walked to the field, and to his surprise Sasuke Uchiha was selected as his opponent.

Sasuke smirked as he stepped onto the field, "Well dobe looks like you're about to get humiliated."

Naruto scowled, "Don't make assumptions just yet Sasuke. The match hasn't even started yet."

"Why start it? They might as well call the match to me." Sasuke said arrogantly.

"Careful Sasuke. Arrogance will be your downfall." Naruto smirked.

Sasuke frowned and when Iruka called for the match to begin Sasuke took off throwing a punch right for Naruto. Naruto had turned his body's standing position causing Sasuke to miss, and Naruto tripped Sasuke sending him to the ground. Sasuke used his legs to sweep Naruto off his, but Naruto back flipped backwards putting some distance between them.

"Nice try Sasuke, but it'll take more than that to beat me."

"Beat you? I don't even have to try." Sasuke replied jumping to his feet.

"You will be trying once I've truly shown my full strength!" Naruto declared as he vanished.

"So fast!" Sasuke gasped along with the other students.

Naruto appeared behind the Uchiha and delivered a spinning kick, but Sasuke caught the leg, only to have Naruto do another spin kick to Sasuke's face blinding him. Naruto smirked taking advantage of his blind state elbowed him in the gut, followed by a roundhouse kick to the back of his head thus knocking him out.

"This match is done, Naruto is the winner!" Iruka declared.

A majority of the male students applauded Naruto for finally putting the pain on Sasuke who's always made them look bad just because of his popularity. While nearly half the female students were furious to see their beloved Uchiha messed up by someone like Naruto.

"Well class that about does it for today." Iruka said as he took Sasuke to the hospital to recover.

Naruto was ready to leave only to face the obsessive fan girls, "Could you girls move? I have places to be."

"Your place to be will be in the hospital when we're done with you!" Sakura threatened him.

"You girls are all bark and no bite." Naruto replied.

The girls growled, "Now you're going to get it!" Sakura shouted.

"So it's a chase you want? Fine you could lose a few pounds anyway." Naruto replied.

The guys looked horrified knowing its taboo to tell a fan girl to lose weight, that's basically calling them fat, "You, are so dead!" Sakura looked red as hell along with the other fan girls ready to take off after him.

"Bye girls, gotta run!" Naruto called as he took off.

The girls raced after him, while Naruto ran without any worry about the girls planning to kill him.

Naruto smirked as he turned a corner. The girls followed him but revealed that he hid himself in a shadowy corner of a shop on that corner, "They're too easy." He said to himself.

"Yeah, they can be like that." Another voice said.

Naruto spun and faced Ino to his surprise, "Ino?"

"That's my name." Ino replied.

"Why'd you follow me?"

"Well I kinda wanted to know more about you. Like what was with that armor and title, along with those skills you used on Sasuke." Ino answered.

"Well I'm not sure." Naruto said not sure if he should talk about Saki and the Foot Clan.

"Please Naruto," Ino begged as she clasped his hands with hers, "I won't tell anybody trust me." She begged him.

Naruto looked into Ino's eyes and could tell she meant it. He smiled and answered "All right, but follow me." Naruto said as Ino followed.

Naruto led Ino to the spot in the forest and opened the underground entrance and took her down along with closing the entrance so no one would follow, "Wow," Ino gasped as Naruto led her to the Foot Clan training temple, "What is this place?" Ino gasped looking all around the temple.

"This is the underground base of the Foot Clan." Naruto answered.

"The Foot Clan?" Ino was confused.

"Yes, an old Konoha elite ninja clan trained in a very old art of ninjitsu. They're leader was Oroku Saki." Naruto motioned to Oroku Saki's statue that Ino looked up at in amaze.

"Amazing." Ino said in awe.

"Yes. Saki was one of Konoha's skilled warriors and an 8th generation master of ninjitsu." Naruto explained.

"If he's this great, how come we were never told about him?" Ino asked.

"My only hunch is the people during Saki's time kept him hushed up from the new generation or at least not from the elders, for fear someone may try to find this place." Naruto explained.

"But you found it." Ino reminded him.

"I did. At first I thought it was by accident," Naruto began, "But overtime I thought maybe it was meant to be."

"Meant to be?"

"Yes I feel as if I was destined to find Saki's old temple so I can continue the Shredder's legacy and bring forth a new Foot Clan." Naruto explained.

"And you really think you can do it?"

"I'm sure of it. In fact I think I'm the only one who can do it," Naruto said. He looked up at Saki's statue, "To have Oroku Saki's legacy be forgotten would dishonor his past."

Ino smiled, "Well I hope you succeed in that, Naruto."

"Thanks Ino, hey you want me to teach you some Foot clan moves?" Naruto offered her.

"You'd do that?" Ino asked surprised.

Naruto nodded and Ino smiled signaling she'd like that. Soon for the next few hours Naruto and Ino were sparing in hand to hand combat with Naruto being Ino's sensei. At first Ino wasn't proving to be good at hand to hand, but soon enough she started getting the hang of it.

When it was nighttime Naruto brought Ino back to her home at Yamanaka Florists, "Thanks for walking me home Naruto, but you didn't have to do that." Ino said.

"Oh I know. It's just I wouldn't want you running into anymore drunks again." Naruto joked.

"You clown." Ino chuckled.

"Well I guess this is it." Naruto said knowing he doesn't have to guard her anymore.

"Yep," Ino nodded, "Oh that's right. I'll be back," Ino said rushing inside and he waited a minute before she came back out. She motioned Naruto to come closer. Curiously he did so. "I want to give you this," Ino said putting something on Naruto's left lapel of his robe right beside the foot crest symbol on that side. Naruto saw she put a rose boutonniere on his Kimono, "And a…" Ino began until Naruto looked at her and surprised to see her kiss him on the cheek.

"Uh." Naruto blushed surprised at that sudden kiss.

Ino went to the door of her families shop and looked at Naruto one last time, "Goodnight, Naruto-kun." She winked at him and went inside.

Naruto felt his cheek where she kissed him, and at the boutonniere she put in his robe. He smiled and walked off, "I think I got a girlfriend." He said to himself.
