Ino's Pov
It has been several days since we left wave and said goodbye to zabuza and haku we approach the gates of our village tired and sore
"So how are you going to explain this all to anko kakashi" kakashi just shrugs we enter through the gates and release a sigh of relief kakashi, naruto, and I then split form sasuke and sakura to go find anko we find her a half hour later in a bar crying kakashi clears his throat getting her attention she looks at kakashi then at naruto then tackles them both to the ground hugging them
"Oh my god I felt one of you had died thank god you are both all right" she kisses naruto's head then kisses kakashi's cheek kakashi just rubs the back of his head sheepishly
"well you were partially right" she looks at kakashi her eyes asking what happened we all sit down and explain what happened
"So naruto died and came back to life huh well its good he came back but still don't scare me like that you two" they both nod and I get up and head out of the bar as does naruto leaving anko and kakashi alone we reach my house after a couple of minutes and walk in
"Mom dad I'm home" There is no answer so I assume they are not home
"Well I guess i'll be going" naruto then begins to walk away but I stop him by grabbing his hand
"Or you could stay here with me for a while" I look at him with hope in my eyes he just nods his head we both sit down on the couch
"So what's on your mind" I just look at the floor and begin to cry
"Ino what's wrong" I then fling my arms around naruto and cry into his chest
"What's wrong" I look up at him
"Back at the bridge I thought you were really dead naruto I thought I lost you forever" I continue to cry as naruto wraps his arms around me in an effort to comfort me after five minutes I finally stop crying naruto then kisses my head
"Ino as long as you are alive I will never die on you" I look up at him and give a small smile
"You promise" he nods and I kiss him on the lips he kisses me back I then feel something press against my lips I open my eyes in surprise and pull back looking at naruto who is equally as surprised at what he just did
"Sorry about that ino kind of got caught up in the moment" I just smile and continue kissing him and wait for it to happen again after a few minutes I feel it again and smile against his lips and open my mouth a little allowing his tongue to enter my mouth and meet mine allowing them to wrap around each other and explore he then wraps his arms around me tighter pulling me closer to him he then begins to move his hand up and down my back making me moan a little due to the felling my hands then decide to explore as my hand goes up the front of his shirt feeling his toned body and all the scars from our previous battle he then moves his hand lower and puts his hand up the back of my shirt making a small chill go up my spine making me shudder and moan a little again suddenly he pulls back making me groan in protest
"What the why did you stop naruto" he just looks at the floor
"I'm sorry ino I just think we are getting a little ahead of ourselves we were going to far" I nod and get off his lap
"I guess we both got a little to into the moment there" naruto nods and then smiles
"What" he then begins to laugh
"Just imagine if your dad walked in on us like that" I then think about it and begin to laugh
"Yeah we would be in so much trouble he would be all angry and go nuts" we both begin to laugh harder until we hear someone clear there throat we stop laughing and slowly turn our heads to see my dad looking at us both highly pissed and my mom looking at naruto with a frying pan in her hand
"Naruto" he looks at me
"Yeah ino" I look at him
"I think you should run" he nods his head and disappears my mom then troughs the frying pan I hear it hit something
"Ow damn what are they heat seeking" My mom laughs and they both turn to me both highly pissed they then smile
"Ino honey if your going to do that don't do it in the house ok" I sweat drop and nod naruto then appears next to me with the frying pan in hand smiling
"Thanks for the frying pan it will come in handy bye" my mom opens her mouth to protest but he disappears
"Hey get back here with my frying pan" she then chases after naruto making me and my dad laugh
"So honey how was your mission" I explain everything about the mission telling him about meeting tazuna and his family also about zabuza and haku but left out how naruto had died due to the fact that I would begin to cry again I can tell he knows there is more but he just nods and leaves it at that
"So how much did you guys see" he smiles
"We walked in when you two were feeling each other up" I blush out of embarrassment and nod we my mom then appears out of no where but without her frying pan
"Damn that boy is fast" I nod and smile
"Guess I have to use the back up" she goes and grabs her back up frying pan out of the cupboard
"So ino dear remember do that somewhere else ok" I smile and nod
One week later
Kakashi came to my house and told me to meet the rest of the team at the ninja academy at ten I get ready and am there by ten
"So kakashi what's up" he eye smile
"Well im glade you asked ino all of you I have two pieces of new one naruto already knows the second will surprise you all" we nod
"One I have signed you all for the chunin exams so if you pass you will all become official chunin even though I know your skills are far beyond that" we high five each other
"What's the second piece of news" kakashi then gets serious
"I will be teaching you all a unique move but you have to be strong enough to use them so as of now we train all day to make you all stronger am I clear" we nod
"Yes sensei" He eye smiles
"Ok we have 4 months so lets start today I will take sasuke to learn his ability the rest of you go to the library and find different ways to increase your amounts of chakra go" we all nod and disappear sasuke with kakashi the rest together to the library
We knew of the chunin exams the horrors of it we were trained to survive but nothing could prepare us for the aftermath
