Hey guys once again I took a four-day break and I am back at it! Hopefully this is the best chapter yet!
Disclaimer I don't own Naruto.

Kiba and Ino were roof jumping to the Hokage tower. Kiba whistled and Ino was about to smack him until Akamaru came to his side and Kiba jumped on literally riding his dog.
"You know, you should really change your whistle, I going to smack the shit out of you for being a pervert." Ino said. Kiba simply shrugged and darted forward ahead of her. Ino being who she is thought of this as a challenge and instantly raced to catch up with the two. She flew by them both and turned around mid air to pull her eyelid down and stick out her tongue. Kiba snarled and yelled,
"Faster Akamaru!"
The trio got to the Hokage tower in record time and burst through the hokage's chamber door panting. Ino grinned at Kiba victoriously.
"Haha you stupid mutt I win again!" Kiba looked like he was about to yell an insult back until he saw the Hokage and Naruto staring at them with amused smiles. Kiba's jaw dropped in shock when he saw Naruto's Jounin vest on. Yesterday he was still a Genin! Now he is a Jounin?
"Alright Naruto! That is awesome!" with that said Kiba walked over and slapped an embarrassed looking Naruto making Ino stop her gloating and stare at Naruto as she saw his katana on his back. Before she could ask about it Tsunade cleared her throat making all three stand at attention in front her. You three have an "S" rank mission. You are to leave for The Village Hidden in the Clouds immediately after this debrief. Kiba and Ino you will go with Naruto as his escorts and assist him in any way possible in his training with Killer bee and Yugito Nii. Naruto already knows the rest of the details since he personally picked you two to escort him. Dismissed." Ino and Kiba replied with the usual "HAI!". Naruto simply waved his hand dismissively and walked out the door earning the Hokage's ire. Kiba and Ino followed quickly to avoid her anger and found a snickering Naruto.
Kiba simply shook his head and Ino sighed. Naruto then waved them both over and grinned proudly at them both. Ino was the first to speak.
"So you were promoted to Jounin. Big deal. But where did you get that katana?" Naruto smiled proudly despite his new rank being ignored and pulled out the sword and handed it to Ino. The purple clad blonde's eyes opened in surprise at how light the sword was. I think it is lighter and more balanced than mine! Naruto grinned at the shock on her face.
"It was part of my inheritance from my mother. It has been in our family for generations. Kurama said that it enhances my connection to him but didn't say how. That is part of my training." Ino handed him back his sword and he sheathed it. Kiba being bored with the whole sword ogling part asked, "What's the other part?" Naruto grinned proudly. "I might possibly be creating a new jutsu or two."

Back at the Hokage's office Minato and Kushina came in the door. Tsunade looked up and smiled warmly at the two. "You guys missed it. I thought he was going to faint from happiness!" Minato shrugged and Kushina laughed knowing that Minato was actually very proud of his son.
Kushina looked at Tsunade, "Thank you Tsunade for giving him the rest of his inheritance. It means a lot to the both of us, even more so to Naruto I'm sure." The Hokage nodded warmly. Minato spoke next, "So when are you going to make him Hokage?"
"Oh probably once he completes his new jutsu's." Naruto's parents widened their eyes in surprise. Kushina asked slowly, "Jutsu's as in more than one?" Tsunade grinned wickedly at the look of fear in Minato's eyes. He already completed the Rasengan. Which I still can't do. I don't want to know what he is creating now…

The three were tree jumping in silence thinking about their mission. Naruto was on point since he was leading the mission. Ino was behind him since she was more of a close to mid range fighter. Kiba and Akamaru were last because they could sense if any trouble would come from behind. They were not very likely to be attacked anyways but you could never be too safe. They travelled all day in relative silence until Naruto stopped at a clearing near the border into lightning country.
"We should set up camp for the night, I will take first watch." Ino and Kiba nodded and set up their tents. Kiba noticed Naruto wasn't setting up a tent he just rolled a sleeping bag out on the ground. Kiba raised his eyebrow, "Did you forget your tent Naruto?" Said Uzumaki shook his head.
"It is more peaceful to watch the stars out here than sleep in a tent. When I was training with Bee we slept out on top of the mountains around the village. The stars were so bright it was absolutely beautiful. So now I don't use tents."
Ino thought about that. He is probably right… and I could find a way to sleep beside him too. Ino smiled and packed up her tent and laid out her sleeping bag also. Kiba snickered at the look on Naruto's face when he noticed that her sleeping bag was right beside his sleeping bag. Ino just stared at Naruto with a smile that dared him to say anything. Seeing this Naruto just blushed and averted his eyes mumbling something about going to find some firewood. When Naruto disappeared into the forest Kiba busted up laughing. Ino whipped around and glared at him.
"What the hell are you laughing at?" Kiba was still laughing as he answered,
"He…. He's already… he's already whipped!" Ino just stared at him confused.
"Well yeah why wouldn't he." Kiba sweat dropped and continued to set up his tent.

Naruto was sitting in a tree overlooking the sky meditating to try to calm his racing heart. Holy shit! Holy shit! I never had a girlfriend before! I didn't know this came so soon! Holy shit! What if she wants to do more? Holy Fuck!
'Naruto, you know it hilarious that you stared down the ten tails without flinching but here you are freaking out about some girl!' Naruto got agitated over this statement.
"Whatever fur ball. So how can you hear my thoughts when they aren't in conversation with you?" Kurama just sighed.
'The sword Naruto.'
"Oops I forgot. So how much more can we connect now?"
'Our connection will grow better with time but as of now you can go into chakra tailed beast state at will now, and you don't need my help to make tailed beast bombs anymore.' You could have heard a humming bird's wing beats it was so quiet for a moment. That is until Naruto comprehended what he was just told.
"YES!" Naruto screamed out as he jumped up on the branch. He jumped again and closed his eyes with a big cheesy smile. That is until he didn't feel his feet hit the branch again. His eyes shot open and he looked straight ahead to see the sky peeking between the leaves. And then there was a dull thud, which was followed shortly there after with a cry of pain.
"Nice one dumbass." Kurama grunted sarcastically. Naruto sat up holding the back of his head and frowned.
"You know. I am really getting tired of your sarcasm lately. Now what were you saying about stop panicking?" The Kyuubi sighed again and began explaining to Naruto.
"You two literally just started going out yesterday. You already started making out. If by more you mean 'all the way' I seriously doubt it will happen. You humans always wait so long."
"I… I don't know… I just don't want to mess things up is all…" Naruto thought to the ninetails. Said ex-demon seemed to ponder this for a moment before he continued.
"I could give you a tiny amount of chakra to help you. When you use my chakra you always seem more confident anyways. I will give you an amount so small you wont even realize it and neither will you teammates." Naruto stopped rubbing the new bump on his head and thought about it.
"That seems like as good a plan as any I guess. Thanks Kurama." With that Naruto severed their internal link for the moment and cross his finger in his most used jutsu.
"Shadow clone jutsu!" Five clones appeared in a poof of smoke and began collecting sticks to bring back to camp for the night.

Back at camp Kiba has finished setting up his tent and layed down on Akamaru to look at the sunset, signaling the beginning of nightfall. Ino was reading through a scroll on Kenjutsu styles to begin creating her own since she only knew TenTen's style. I can't wait to be the best kunoichi in the leaf! And with Naruto's help on ninjutsu I might even give Naruto a run for his money. Well as long as sage mode and chakra mode aren't used. Kiba looked over at the woods to see two Naruto's carrying sticks for the fire and sighed in relief. It was the end of October and it was staring to get cold in the land of fire but even more so since they were almost to the land of lightning. Naruto smiled in amusement at Kiba and warmly at his girlfriend who returned the favor. Naruto began to make the pile for the fire until he was satisfied. Then he whispered, "Fire style Burning Ash." A tiny cloud of ash came out of his mouth and blew onto the pile of wood. Naruto clicked his teeth and then the sticks caught on fire. Kiba was simply surprised but Ino was absolutely shocked.
That's Asuma Sensei's jutsu! Ino was staring at the fire and Kiba was staring at Naruto expectantly. Naruto grinned proudly and began to explain.
"This was part of my training, I have been training in other elements so I don't need to rely on chakra mode or the Rasengan so much and become even more unpredictably in battles. Kakashi sensei helped with fire style and where he could with lightning style but lightning is the complete opposite affinity of wind. I haven't started water style yet or earth style. I want to get training from Bee and Yugito because bee has a lightning and Yugito has a fire affinity. Plus they can both help me better use my chakra mode and not waste so much of Kurama's chakra all at once." Kiba stared off into space as he took this in and Ino was the next to speak.
"Who taught you that jutsu Naruto?" She asked softly. Naruto turned to tell her but stopped when he saw her eyes. Shit I forgot that was Asuma's jutsu! I should have used a different one… She looks like she is about to cry because of me…
"Ino… I am so sorryplease don't be upset I didn't…" he trailed off when Ino started laughing lightly and looked at her confused. Ino looked into his eyes and smiled.
"I am not upset Naruto I just wasn't expecting you to use Sensei's jutsu. It just brought back some memories is all." He studied her for another few seconds before smiling and sitting next to his girlfriend on a log she dragged over and wrapping his arm around her. All three stared at the fire and were lost in thought until the moon was high in the sky. Kiba yawned and got up and bid the two goodnights as he and Akamaru went into his tent. Ino then got up pulling Naruto with her and held his hand as she led him to their sleeping bags. Naruto visibly swallowed but winced as Kurama yelled at him inside his head for it. Ino laid down and stared up at Naruto suggestively, with a slight blush spreading across her cheeks. Naruto laid down beside her but he kept a slight distance between him and Ino.
Ino looked at him with puppy dog eyes and stuck out her lip, "Wont please scoot closer Naruto-kun, if not I might cry." As she finished she batted her eyelashes for good measure. Naruto instantly swore to himself and moved closer to her, which in turn, caused her to smile victoriously and she laid her head on his chest and snuggled into him. Naruto felt the urge to brush her bangs back behind her ear and proceeded to do so. However when he did she looked at him slightly confused at his touch with both eyes.
What he saw made him gasp. He knew her eyes were pretty because of the fact if one eye is than the other normally is too, but this was something else entirely than what he imagined. With both of her beautiful light violet eyes staring into his and her hair being slightly disheveled she was extremely cute. But with the moonlight making her soft skin almost seem to glow, she was absolutely gorgeous. Wow… I can't believe how lucky I am to have her as my girlfriend! With that thought Naruto leaned down to show her just how he felt. Ino saw him leaning down and moved to meet his lips with her as the stars shined down upon them…

Naruto yawned and opened his eyes to see that it was still a little dark out. He got up and started the fire again to start cooking some breakfast. Kiba came stumbling out of his tent still half asleep with Akamaru right behind him.
"What the hell are you doing? It is 5 o'clock in the morning!" Kiba asked incredibly agitated. Naruto didn't even respond but instead motioned his hand to the fire with meat cooking over top of it. Kiba rolled his eyes and muttered something about going to get some water and disappeared into the woods. It became quiet again and Naruto was left to his own thoughts.
I wonder how bee is doing; it has been a while since I talked to him. I can't wait to introduce him to Ino. She will probably want to punch me for laughing at her annoyed face when he tries to rap. He was broken out of his thoughts by Ino stirring and then sitting up.
"Good morning sleeping beauty." He smiled as he said that. Ino looked over at him and smiled genuinely back and came over to sit right beside him. She started to speak when they both heard Kiba scream, "Fang Over Fang!" followed by and explosion. Naruto jumped up and raced towards Kiba with Ino right behind him. When they arrived they saw Kiba panting facing roughly twenty identical people about to attack. He leaped forward to intercept one of them before he could get to Kiba and punched him in the face and then used his famous hand sign.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!" with a puff of smoke two Naruto appeared right beside him and the one on the right of him staring gathering chakra in his palm until the Rasengan appeared. After that the two clones charged forwards distracting the nearest opponent until the real Naruto shoved his Rasengan into his face instantly killing him.
While that was happening Ino leapt to Kiba's side to help him as five of the identical Shinobi charged him. Ino unsheathed her katana and charged them meeting them head on. The first one tried to punch her and she simply ducked under his fist and kept moving forwards saving him for Kiba who made quick work of him. She then sliced the second one from his right shoulder down to his left thigh and then dodged a kick from the third guy. Kiba yelled, "Man Beast Clone!" and then two Kiba's started tearing into the fourth an fifth guys while Ino took care of the third with a round house kick to the temple rendering him unconscious. She yelled for Kiba to come back as five more surrounded her. One of the Kiba's used fang over fang and hit dead center of the group giving Ino the opening she needed. She sheathed her sword and held her hands out in front and her and mumbled,
"Mind transfer Jutsu." When she took control of the nearest goon she began attacking his teammates severely confusing them since their own teammate began engaging them.
Naruto was having difficulty fight ten of these guys all at once so he backed off some and concentrated for a second until chakra mode spread across his body. He then smiled confidently and disappeared only to reappear at the back of the group taking out the last guy and then disappearing again. When the group turned around because of the last guy screaming Naruto pulled the same move again only this time he came with a little extra. He had nine Rasengans that were on his chakra arms and hit all of them in the back knocking them unconscious instantly as they flew across the clearing. He then turned to help out one of the Kiba's who was being double teamed by two of the few remaining members of the group that weren't dead or unconscious.
Kiba was having difficulty fighting off two of them at once. He would dodge one strike only to have to dodge another one immediately. When he went to lash out with his claws at one the other would attack forcing him to defend before he could strike one of them. That is until one of the guys suddenly disappeared confusing his partner giving Kiba his opening as he slashed the guys throat with one strike. Kiba turned around to see the other guy that Naruto grabbed dangling from a tree upside down held up by ninja wire unconscious. Naruto was grinning at the Inuzuka because he just saved his ass, and said Inuzuka rolled his eyes.
While Kiba and Naruto were playing grab ass Ino and Akamaru, who had reverted back from his clone mode were struggling to keep up with all five members at once. After Ino was kicked out of the guy's subconscious the five Shinobi attacked her all at once. Even with all the training she had been doing it was proving too much for her. These five were apparently the best five in the group and three of them had katanas and two of them were using nun chucks. Ino dodged a nun chuck and parried a sword in mid air and spun around to land on the ground facing all five who charged in at her again. The first guy attacked with a katana, which she dodged and then had to parry another katana. Akamaru jumped on the guy who Ino parried and bit his throat ripping it out. But before he could do anything else the dog was hit on top of the head with a nun chuck and slumped to the ground.
"AKAMARU!" Ino screamed as she started to race to the dog. But her attackers seized their chance and one of them jumped in front of her and drop kicked her in the chest straight back wards. Only Ino didn't feel the ground. She felt cool steel piercing her from her back and it came out of her stomache. The last thing she remembers before everything went black is a demonic scream,
"NOOO! INO!"
