NaruIno is that couple that everyone doesn't really ship but somehow ships.

(at least I think so)


[Ino x Naruto] – Red Velvet | Oh Boy


Ino rested her head on her hands, staring intensely at Naruto who had been animatedly telling the others of his previous mission.

It seemed like only yesterday when they both locked heads with each other, always arguing over the most little things. Looking at the young man now, Ino realised he grew up to be a really fine shinobi. She considered herself lucky to be alive in a time where shinobi like Naruto existed. He was, after all, the prophecy child.

"Earth to Ino." Naruto's face suddenly got really close to hers, leaving the girl startled.

"Y-You're to c-close!" Ino pushed him away, leaving the others at the table to laugh.

"You've been looking a little too hard in Naruto's direction, Pig." Sakura teased, and the blonde blushed at the remark.

"Do you need a kiss to wake you up, Ino?" Naruto grinned mischievously.

"Definitely not!"

"Aww, no need to be shy." He pulled her body closer to him. "We are together after all."

She blushed harder, causing her friends to make fun of her unexpected side with Naruto. Ino did have to admit though, she was indeed lucky to be alive in a time where Naruto existed.
