Naruto had gotten ready for the day. His plan for Ino was fairly simple because she like him like to garden so his plan was to go with her to create her own personal garden in his compound. That way she would have her own place in his place.
As Naruto walked up to the Yamanaka's florist shop, he noticed another chakra signature with Ino. 'So, they became friends again. Good, Sakura needs Ino as much as Ino needs her. Not that they would admit it.' He thought as he knocked on the store front letting them know he was here.
It only took a few moments before Ino's mom came to the door. "Ah, Naruto how are you doing?"
"Good, Mrs. Yamanaka. Is Ino ready to go?" Naruto asked as he walked into the shop.
"She should be one sec." she said as she walked toward the stairs. "Ino, Naruto is here!"
"SHIT!" he heard with his hearing. "Be right there mom!"
"Well, you heard her. What is the plan?" Mrs. Yamanaka asked.
"Well, I was planning on having her help me pick which flowers she wants to be in her garden at my compound. Then have me and my clones follow her orders to do exactly as she wants it to be built." Naruto explained as he had his wallet ready to buy from the shop.
"Oh, is that all. I was expecting us to go shopping and a nice lunch." Ino said coming down with Sakura with her. "Though, I think we have something to discuss first. Right, Sakura?"
"Yeah... Naruto can we talk?" Sakura asked nervously.
"Sure, what's up? Anything you need?" Naruto asked her as Ino and her pulled her up to Ino's room.
"Well, Sakura here in all her glory finally realized how amazing you are." Ino teased her friend.
"Is that so..." Naruto thought as he wasn't sure where this was going.
"So... I was wondering if there is enough room for me to be able to go on a date with you?" Sakura sheepishly asked.
"Are you sure?" Naruto asked as he looked at both of them.
"Naruto, I was the one that offered it." Ino explained. "Look, we all know we will have to share you. It isn't going to be that hard for us. Hell, I am expecting at least three more girls once we get to the Chunin exams. I want you to be happy and for the girls that fall for you to realize that you are a wonderful man. So my plan is to have you and Sakura to go on the date that I have planned and I will take your clones to do what you had planned. Trust me, I will enjoy spending time with you even if it is a clone."
"Ino..." Sakura started before being cut off.
"Enough Sakura. I told you this was fine. I want you to see it is worth it to be with Naruto." Ino said as it was final. "Now, Naruto I want you to woo and make sure Sakura feels like she will never want to even look at another man."
Ino stepped up to him, leaning in his ear, she whispered, "And if you do this for me. I promise to make it worth your time."
She kissed him on the lips. As she had him make a clone, pulling it out of the room. "Well, I was not expecting that. Sakura are you sure you want to do this?"
"Yes!" She yelled causing her to blush.
"But, what about Sasuke?" He dreaded to ask. Sakura was his first crush when he saw her as a little kid after his incident as he referred to it as.
"What about him?" Sakura questioned. "He clearly does not care about me or anyone for that matter. I much rather see where this will go. That is if you are willing?"
"She doubts herself. That bastard really messed with her self-confidence." Kuruma explained.
"Let's see how this goes then. If you truly wish to do this then you will have to let me take the lead." Naruto said as he grabbed her hand pulling out his money from his wallet handing it to his clone to making sure they had enough for everything Ino wanted. Naruto took Sakura out to front. "Well, this wasn't the plan but where do you want to go?"
"Well, let's just get a bite to eat and then maybe a bit of training. That way we can talk." Sakura asked as she became bright red about the whole situation she was in.
"Of course! Let's go for some sushi and so how this feels." Naruto said putting his arm around her causing her to come close.
'FINALLY!' Inner Sakura said in her mind as she was no longer being suppressed by the sadness that she dealt with.
Sakura blushed as she walked with Naruto's arm around her shoulders. "So, how did this come all about?" Naruto finally asked.
"Well, it kinda started back in academy, but I didn't want to admit it because Ino was in love with you." Sakura confessed as they walked into her favorite restuarant. "I tended to be bullied as a kid so I tried to fit in. Sasuke seemed like the safer choice to be with."
"I can see it. I was not well liked by most. Being a civilian clan it must have been hard for you." Naruto reasoned as they sat down.
"Yeah, it wasn't the greatest time." Sakura started as the waitress came over.
"What will we be having?" the waitress asked.
"Hmm, I think I will just have some tea and a spring roll." Sakura said.
"Are you sure? I am willing to pay for everything." Naruto asked.
"I am watching my weight." Sakura murmured. She still wanted to make she stayed good looking encase this continued.
"Sakura you are a konichi. Training will help with that. Remember what Kakashi sensei said about this. Besides if you want this to keep going I want you to be healthy." Naruto reasoned with her.
Sakura thought for a minute, "I can also have 5 veggie rolls, 3 salmon rolls, and 2 orders of chicken tempura rolls."
She blushed at Naruto's gaze as he started to smile. "Good! I will have what she is having but also a surf and turf roll."
'My this won't be so bad.' Sakura thought as she smiled at his antics and helped her relax.
While Naruto and Sakura were having their date, Ino was busy setting up her garden. She wanted it to be perfect. It was going to have seating underneath the tree she had the clones just plant. In a couple of years it going to be the perfect place to just relax underneath during the summer that would allow them all to cuddle with Naruto near the koi pond she was having them make.
"My you do have lover boy busy." Ino heard as Anko and Guren walk up.
"Well his clones anyways. He is currently on a date with Sakura." Ino said with a grin to Anko.
"Well, it is about time." Guren said with a shy of relief. "I was torture watching her pine after him on the way back. It was kinda sad that she was forced to attack him beforehand to understand ge would do anything to help her."
"Yeah, for how smart she is, she really does have a hard time understanding her own feelings." Ino said as a Naruto came up and gave a hug from behind her.
"You did a good thing for her. It will let her decide how she truly feels." The clone said from behind her.
"Yeah, but anyways you are still not done mister. I still want all of the flowers planted over there before you and Sakura are back. That and we need to have the this pond started to have it ready that waterfall and water filter does not run by itself." Ino pecked him on the cheek then pushed him towards the rest of the clones.
"So, what do you think he has planned for your dates?" Ino asked both of the ladies as they watched the clones go about setting up all of the things they needed and using jutsu to set foundations and fill water for the pond.
"Well, we are technically on house arrest so hopefully it will just be a nice relaxing time near the couch watching movies. It will be nice to get to know him better for me." Guren said with a hint of shyness.
"Well, with all us here I think we should all get to know each other. Haku will enjoy it especially getting to know all of us more." Anko said with a seductive look.
"Down, girl. You know we can't do anything yet." Ino said causing Anko to not grab Guren behind from her boobs.
"Well, hopefully he comes back soon. I need my Naruto cuddle time." Anko complained.
"I am sure you can have multiple hours just cuddling." Hinata said walking back into compound as she came to see how the other girls were doing.
'You have no idea how much I have been missing it." Anko complained not letting them in on what Yugao and her did this morning.
"Oh, you didn't get enough cuddle time this morning." Yugao stated watching the rest of the women come outside to see how everything was going.
"It still wasn't enough." Anko complained. "Where's Haku?"
"Apparently she like to sleep in a lot. I guess it make sense for how long she was on the run with Zabuza." Yugao said.
"Well, hopefully she will enjoy her time." Ino said as she watched the clones continued to create garden.
Few Hours Later
Naruto and Sakura walked back into his compound. She looked on in shock at how nice it looked around the house and trees. "Ah, I forgot this is your first time here. Well currently it is just all of us together in the main house rooms. If you ever want to get away we have plenty of room." Naruto offered.
"Hmm, I will think about it." She said she leaned into his shoulder. She had enough issues with her civilian clan trying to force her with Sasuke. That was one of the reason she went for him in the first place.
"It is always open to you now." Naruto said as before they opened the door they used her blood to key herself into the seals.
'This is how it should be.' Sakura thought as she looked up at Naruto slowly pulling him closer to her. Looking up she at him. 'DO IT' she heard in her head.
"Sakura..." Naruto started before her lips pressed to his.
"About Time!" They both heard as the looked at Ino and Hinata both smirking at them.
"I am assuming you that you are having a good time on your date then huh." Ino smirked at her best friend.
"Yeah... I guess you can..." Sakura said as she slowly back away from her first kiss.
"Good! Hinata, girl night!" Ino said as she walked up to Naruto. "Good to know that you can take care of all us."
Ino arced up and kissed him. "You have an all night relaxing night with lots of cuddles. Go be with them or else Anko will have our heads."
"You are one lucky guy, kit" Kurama said as Naruto watched the girls walked towards Ino's house.
"Yeah, I really am." Naruto said out loud.
