Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto! Hey everyone you've all been waiting for it and here it is. The rest of Part 1 Naruto arcs for Hanyou Naruto and his vixens. Originally was going to be posted last year and had nine pages in, but came to a halt after trying to figure out on how or why Ino changed her mind about Sasuke and change ehr feelings too Naruto, in which I am kind of glad got help from a member ^^ Sorry though no lemons between Naruto and Ino in this chapter, cause I will explain to everyone right now. They are very, very rare for me to write as well as I'm not one to always like to write them out for focusing on the main plot. So I will only write them in when I feel like they deserved the spot ^^; So hope you all can understand that and know why there aren't a lot in the first story. Any way without further adieu here is Chapter 1 of Hanyou Naruto and His vixens Part 2 : )

As for why it is a separate story, I mention in the first one. 40 Chapters seems to be a good amount to stop for a story and then work on whole separate one ^^

Chapter 1: Tale of Ino Yamanaka!

At the Uzumaki family house, a certain platinum blond ninja was preparing a very big lunch with her husband for the day. All the other girls aren't present as well being out doing missions, leaving only Ino and Naruto in the house together.

Mostly for them to be here alone with each other, is because Tsunade. The Fifth Hokage hasn't had any needs for the two Kitsunes right now and explained that, she will inform them when a mission will come up that the two will be able to take.

Though lately something has been bothering Ino lately and that is Mia sensei? She hasn't shown any excitement for the past couple months and is only appearing to tell her and Haku of what to do for the day all the while leaving the next minute.

'I know being in the Anbu makes her busy and all, but she is going to be running ragged if she keeps this up?' Ino thought to herself as she lifted up a pot of stew from the stove and carried it on over towards the large dining room table.

She let out a big sigh and wipes her sweaty forehead with a big grin on her face; she inspected all the food that was on the table for her and Naruto to enjoy for just the two of them. A feast fit for anyone even the Hokage herself.

She clasps her hands up and down with a smile and nodding of her head, there were two types of ramen that she was experimenting for Naruto. With different types of broth that she read up in a cook book, there were some breads, corn, mash potatoes and some sandwiches for just in case they do suddenly get called for a mission.

She untied her cooking garb and neatly placed it on a chair, all the while smoothing out her three yellow fox tails. Biting back a moan from the good feeling she felt from her smoothing them out, as well letting them hang down to the floor.

Boy she couldn't help but giggle whenever she sees Naruto, Hinata and Haku trying to adjust their new nine and eight tails. Tripping and falling over them whenever they try to walk, nearly knocking things down when their tails wagged in excitement.

Even with Naruto and Hinata's training had them getting all tangled up in their tails that they become motionless and useless to move. It was hell getting those two out of that mess and are still trying to adjust on this very day with those tails. Thankfully Haku with the help of her mother and Kuchaya the chef of the fox summon clan.

Took the time to help the girl move and bend in the right order, so this way she wouldn't get all tangled up with her tails. Ino hummed thinking why Naruto and Hinata haven't thought of summoning one of the foxes into helping them walk better?

For Her, Kin and Tenten it was somewhat neutral in terms of getting used to their tails. Ino with her three tails wasn't really hard to get used to walking with on the account the girl can easily wrap one tail around her waist and letting the last two be perfectly fine in their spot.

Though it does make it slight difficulties not to get tickle by her fur. For Kin she had a knack of adapting quickly as she can easily walk from point A, too point B without tripping or falling over her own tails. While for Tenten she had to once again, adapt her body movements in order to throw her weapons.

Without hurting herself or getting cut badly whenever she practices, either than that she was doing alright in the movement department.

After getting out from her musing, she quickly looked over towards a nearby mirror and beamed happily. Her attire today was one of the skimpy and sexy sides for today. That is by wearing a thigh length blue skirt and a very small old white shorts sleeve shirt that she used to wear for whenever class does gym like activities.

Even though Hinata had explain to her and the girls, that the demon chakra is suppose too form as well sculpt them into their perfect bodies. But hasn't seen any sort of change for the past four months and wondered if the fox was wrong about it?

Or maybe it would take time for it to actually show, considering they are still thirteen years old right now. She glided her hand wistfully to her torso and glided them down towards her B cup breasts, lightly tracing over them carefully seeing that her skin will only be seeable if you were to push the fabric into them.

Though laughed when it barely goes past her breasts, leaving her abs and stomach exposed to the world that she moved her arms towards her side and then down towards her thigh length skirt. Giving a big smile too herself, feeling how her hips were a bit wider giving her all the opportunities to show Naruto her butt cheeks as she rested her hands on them and gave a small smack to them.

Unlike most girls she was daring, so daring that today she was going a bit commando as well wanting to seduce Naruto so badly, that he has no choice but to mate with her! Especially since the past four months, after getting and receiving the full powers of the nine tailed fox into their system.

The girls and Naruto himself, are having trouble controlling their pheromones as well hormones to the point that they constantly be left in the house taking care of that itch only to miss out on their mission duties.

"Took a lot to explain Lady Tsunade about this heat thing…" Ino muttered to nobody in particular, as she slightly started rubbing her butt cheeks with a small blush. Wondering how things will be different this time around?

Since her last mating session with the boy, was in a green house. The two of them could not get into any comfortable spots, that it left them very sore after getting done with each other and leaving the green house with bruises and slight cuts. Not from each other, but some of the thorns and rocks that were laid about.

That memory had Ino grimace as she could still feel those prickly sensation. Her yellow fox ears twitched after what sounded like Naruto, coming out from the training dome. Bumping and muttering out cusses of his tails knocking things down, that had the girl laughing to herself.

"Naruto!" she called out from the dining room all the while running towards the kitchen. To get glasses for their drinks as well some napkins, she gave another look towards the table. To make sure that most of the entrees were bending reach, all the while nodding too herself seeing that they were.

"Yeah Ino what's up? Damn it!" He shouted and quickly said after grabbing a picture frame that was hanging on the hall walls, then glared deadly at his nine orange fox tails that they slumped down to the floor.

"I have planned us a very big lunch today, considering that we have no missions yet. All the while taking in your advice of redoing our date like situations!" she beamed out, remembering that discussion of the boy telling the girls. That he wanted to redo their dating situations, on the account he wanted to get too know all of them better.

They agreed too but also knowing since their little problem, it might be difficult for them to coherent a simple sentence without jumping onto the boy. So they all agreed that they will try their best to get out anything that the boy wanting to know more about them before that urge starts taking over them.

"Okay Ino that sounds like a good idea, if I ever get too the kitchen…" He muttered the last part as he kept twisting his body around in a way to pick up and grabbing all nine of his tails. That it was just making things worst for the boy.

Constantly bumping and banging into the side of the walls and drawers that were near him, had the boy hissing and grunting out in pain that Ino, kept wincing one eye close from hearing the crashing obstacles that is happening in the next room.

She'll have to remind Naruto to someday summon the foxes into their realm, teaching him how to move and behave like a Kitsune. Who knows how much trouble that even Hinata is having right now with Kurenai sensei's team?

After the boy finally got situated and pass through the hall way, he rounded towards the dining room. Sighing and rubbing the back of his head in displeasure. He was somewhat in a slump; his training hasn't improved at all the couple months.

Still having somewhat troubles in controlling his Bubble bomb jutsu on the account it still blasts him backwards, though he wouldn't say it wasn't too bad. Now it only lifts him up just a couple feet in the air and he is back on the ground immediately afterwards.

His B-rank Jutsu is okay, taking less chakra now that he had more time training in the technique. His Shadow clone jutsu's were now proficient enough that they can handle certain amount of hits after being pumped with a bit more chakra.

His transformation Jutsu are now perfect, perfect enough that he can manage to hide his fox features now. Seemed like after being the next nine tails he would have no problems with his transformation jutsu's what so ever.

Although there are bad habits of leaving the features on, that it's quite hard not to hide them. Either than his jutsu, his training isn't really improving at all. Without the Uzumaki scroll, he can't learn the ways of their Taijutsu techniques as well sealing arts.

All the while every jutsu he haves in his arsenal can be easily cerograph by anyone, hell when he tries to train with Sakura and Kakashi-sensei, they can easily know the timing as well when his jutsu's will strike out.

At least that what he believes, Bushy brows teachings did really great for Sakura that Naruto were having a hard time keeping up with the Kunoichi new speed. But her Taijutsu still needs some improvement.

'Heh I'm just glad Sakura is taking her training more seriously now. Damn that girl can do a mean right hook.' If she were to keep it up, it will be Naruto who is left behind in team seven. He had to say without the right trainers right now.

It is quite hard to do self-training as well with the other girls. He had no problem training them, but all of them are starting to notice that training and practicing with each other isn't getting them anywhere.

Each one of them trains differently and since they have been living together for almost a full year. There wasn't anything they could help with…Well, at least for Naruto as the boy notice that each girl CAN actually help each other but him.

He entered the dining room with a hummed as well his mouth watering at all the food that is placed out on the table. His stomach growled out in hunger, loving the aroma that is hitting his nose. No doubt this is Ino's way of trying to keep them in their seats.

He too had been getting hit by the hormones, all the while the pheromones their fox like features been giving off. Had everyone on edge as well literately getting the jump on the boy, that this was one of the other reasons they were having trouble training.

"Wow Ino everything looks great-", his sentence paused when he looked over towards the kitchen, seeing the girl roaming through some of the cabinets. The thigh like skirt was literately doing a poor job of hiding her butt cheeks that he could see everything.

What made it worse is that he felt himself getting turn on, from how Ino wasn't wearing any panties at all. Exposing her fleshy cheeks at him as well wiggling her ass left and right, trying to find what seem to be glasses for their drinks.

He tried everything to look away, but was too transfix at those fleshy cheeks that he almost got a nosebleed, when Ino move her hand over to her left cheek and rubbing against it to get rid of an itch. That after she got done pushing it up, he saw her finger trail lightly against her tail bone. Causing her too shudder a bit as well biting back a moan from her trailing the finger gently between both cheeks.

He shook his head and promptly sat down quickly, trying to fight against his hormones and the urge to jump the girl right there and then. He really wanted to enjoy his day with Ino as well ask that one bothering question, that has been lingering him ever since she married the boy.

"Here you are Naruto!" Ino beamed pouring some drinks for the two of them, as well sitting back down her seat eyeing the man of her dreams with a very needy look.

"Thanks Ino", Naruto said and took a sip of the orange juice that she poured, hoping that will calm him down a bit as well placing the cup back onto the table. He then smiled over towards the girl who closed her eyes in response, all the while sitting up from her chair and leaning across the table to grab a piece of bread.

Causing Naruto to almost choke on his second sip of his drink, watching the way her butt cheeks were tightening up a bit, all the while one of her tails were gently brushing against her creamy skin that the boy could tell he will lose control any minute.

"So-so Ino…How is Mia-sensei and Haku?" He asked with trembling in his voice, watching the girl smirk perversely at him all the while sitting back down onto her seat. Placing the bread onto her plate as well wiping her hand across her chest, that caused Naruto to grit his teeth as well closing his eyes, watching the way her nipple rub against the shirt.

"I really don't know about Mia-sensei…" Ino started while having her eyes half way open, Naruto could see how down Ino looked after mentioning about Mia. So curious if she would continue and explain to him on the problem, maybe he could try and help out?

Ino let out a sigh and looked over towards Naruto with a small smile, "It's probably just me being over worried Naruto. After all Mia-sensei is still part of the Anbu squad and with the Village defenses still a bit down. She would probably not have enough time for her students." She explained in which Naruto nodded his head in understanding.

The adoptive mother would be quite busy over the past four months, especially with them having a bit less Ninja's to guard the leaf village. As well everyone bustling and being busy trying to still get some of the buildings and businesses up in tip top shape.

"Either than that Mia-sensei had told Haku and I, that she is going to be preparing training us how to be Chuunins." This had the boy whip his head up with a snap of his neck. Ino beamed at the response she got and broadly smile at him.

She knew that would get Naruto's attention, as well probably wanting to ask if he could join in on the training sessions. "Now Naruto, I am not sure what kind of style Mia could train you in. I mean sure she have Shadow clones and water techniques she 'could' train you in." She stated while eating some of the Raman she made.

Lightly having some of the broth spilling onto her white shirt, letting it get soaked as well becoming transparent that Naruto watched how the girls skin could be slightly seen as well gulping. Feeling his hormones acting up from just watching the way the girl is purposely letting the broth soaking her shirt.

Trying his best to keep his pheromones down, but failing miserably as he could smell Ino pumping out her pheromones as well "R-right but even then Mia-sensei wouldn't be the right teacher for me." He finished for Ino as the girl nodded her head as they continued eating.

Ino was having a really difficult time thinking straight, considering that her pheromones and Naruto's were now to a choking point that either one of them might jump the gun and mate the living daylights out of each other.

Trying hard to fight the urge all the while the need to shift in her chair, the girl decided to look over towards Naruto with a smile watching the boy eat the delicious lunch they were having. "How is the food Naruto-kun?" She asked with a happy tone, seeing the boy nodded his head.

"It is great Ino! Did you get lessons from Kin?" he pondered and then chuckle when Ino giggled with her head shaking left and right.

"How you can guess that I'll never know, but yeah. But I too have cooked and made food before back in the past when Sasuke-…" she immediately stopped herself there from saying Sasuke's name. Her red eyes then quickly look down at the table with slight anger.

She couldn't believe that name even came up, let alone remembering how badly he treated her before becoming ninjas. This action though caused Naruto to blink his eyes, while tilting his head towards the right.

He didn't know why Ino stop her sentence like that, let alone getting angry with the name? Sure the bastard gave Naruto a hard time when he was alive, but it wasn't really that bad. Always wanting too proves himself that he is better than Naruto by getting him to fight all the time.

Even going to the point that he will feint his action as well what he will do too the girls. Just so Naruto will be tricked into fighting Sasuke.

"Ino?" asked Naruto with a soft voice, causing the girl too blink her red eyes all the while shifting her direction at him. "This has been bugging me for a very long time now?" He continued while crossing his arms as well humming in thought.

This earn a small squeal from the girl, by noticing how Naruto's orange ears were twitching whenever he will think very hard on a question, as well his nine tails ever so slightly wags up and then down. Curious of what he is going to ask, she waited for the boy to continue as she rested her hands under her chin.

Letting the edge of the table to slightly press her breasts up a bit, letting her nipples to poke through her shirt. "Hope this won't insult you in any way or form, but what made you decide not to fall for Sasuke as well turning your focus onto me?"

Ino hearing this had her red eyes shifting around a bit as well breathing in and out lightly, it was sooner or later that Naruto will be asking this question from the girl and be fair, she already explained to Haku for why she chose Naruto instead of Sasuke.

Hell she bet he doesn't even remember what happen at all, that had her falling for him? Leaning back against her chair and lightly twirling a piece of her blonde hair, she was going through her thoughts of how she should explain but decided to just go for it and see what happens.

"Well you probably don't remember at all right?" She asked, getting the boy to blinked his eyes all the while shaking his head "Right…You were involved with it too Naruto, but I wouldn't be surprise if ya didn't remember so here it goes." She breathed in and lean up against the table with her hands folding together.

"It probably started just a week after we graduated from the ninja Academy; it was a hot and bothersome summer week. Sakura at the time felt ill and couldn't leave her house and so, I took advantage of that and went out to search for Sasuke…"

XXX

One year ago after the Genin graduation ceremony.

"Ino honey you sure you should be out there in that blistering heat?" asked Ino's mother who was sitting in the living room, sticking her tongue out gently while she is sowing a couple of cloths together in order to keep her summer cleaning going.

While said Ino who is upstairs, was humming happily a tune with a blush on her face. Knowing and hearing how Sakura today was ill and gotten sick was being kept home today, losing all her chances to try and be with Sasuke at all today.

She know she herself should really get out of this phase, all the while probably going to be upsetting her new friend Haku for still behaving like this. Ino just can't help it, just something about that boy being last of his clan, having no one and always being silent and to himself gives out that mystery air about him.

That just draws Ino too him as well some of the other girls, of course her fan girl tendencies aren't that bad when she hangs out with Haku and Hinata whenever they visit each other in the park, or hang out in school. But when she is alone, she will do anything to get Sasuke!

"Yes mom I am sure", she called out knowing her mom is quite impatient when she doesn't respond to her. Today is the day that she will win Sasuke's heart, she is wearing a nice short sleeve purple top with a purple flask like skirt that splits open on the sides, all the while wearing bandage wrappings around her legs.

Giving her that sexy Kunoichi feeling as well chosen attire for when she starts taking on Ninja missions. Of course she and Haku weren't taking any missions as of yet, considering Mia-sensei needed to do some proper paper work that will allow her to still work as a Jonin sensei as well Anbu.

She lean forward a bit to get a better look at herself in the mirror, as well fixing her blonde hair into a pony tail. So this way it won't get into her eyes as well constantly having to blow it away from her beautiful face.

"There we go looking good Ino! No way Sasuke can ignore you now, he will be yours in no time and what better way than to get into a guy love? Than getting them into eating!" she beamed happily all the while turning around and heading straight out of her room, grabbing the picnic basket that she placed on her bed.

"Ino don't forget to get into couple of shades whenever you get too hot!" Her mom yelled out when she watched her daughter coming down from the stairs and straight out the door. Only to close one eye when her and Inoichi, Ino's father crashed into each other with Ino falling back onto her behind.

"Whoa easy there princess where is the fire?" Her dad joked helping his giggling daughter up from the ground as she duster herself off then looking up towards him.

"No fire just going to be late with meeting up with Sasuke! I am hoping to get him to agree on having a picnic with me!" She explained showing the basket as well seeing her dad smiling very lightly.

"Right…Sasuke honey you sure there isn't any other boy that may interest you? What about Shikamaru or Choji?" He suggested only to sweat drop as well chuckle lightly as the girl pouted and crossed her arms in slight annoyance.

"Daad that lazy ass Nara would never dare date anyone in his life, let alone I always hear him saying how troublesome women are. While Choji…" She started and hearing how it is Taboo to call an Akamichi fat will send you a one way ticket down to hell.

"Well…Girls aren't into big people like him." She said after the long pause and wave her hand left and right, causing the father to scratched the back of his head as well breathing a sigh. That would mostly be his and his wife fault, for slightly wanting to make sure Ino chose the right man with the right stuff.

As well pampering her a little…too much, than again Uchiha's are considering the strongest clan in the Leaf village so maybe besides having that huge crush on Sasuke? Ino is unconditionally thinking of the well fare of her clan status in a way?

"Well what about Naruto? Always seeing you hanging out with him a couple of times with Haku and Hinata?" He asked with a smile only to lose it slightly as she hummed out a bit with a scrounged up face; he then bopped his head when Ino placed her hands firmly on her waist and started tapping her foot.

"Uh Dad did you not forget who is after Naruto's heart? Besides Naruto is definitely not date material, he can be loud, obnoxious, annoying"

"Caring, always looking out for his friends." He added in a way to trick Ino into saying those words instead of all the negativity the boy usually gets called by.

"Caring, never give up attitude always…That was just evil there dad." She paused as well stated the next thing leering towards her father, who got her to say those nice things about Naruto. Alright she will admit, the boy has a decent quality about him, but everything about him as well knowing him for a long while.

Screams out attention hog and a no good troublemaker who goes out of his way just wanting to get attention there is no way she will fall for a guy like that? Sure he is an orphan and being one is probably why he behaves like that, but never will she be caught dead actually falling in love with the boy?

After finally getting out of her house and saying her good byes to her parents, Ino immediately went out towards the village and hope to find her number one dream boy Sasuke Uchiha out here somewhere, in the blazing heated sun.

She went on over towards the more quieter places of the village, knowing the boy likes to be by himself and secluded this section will definitely be a perfect spot to find her dark hair Uchiha walking about and if she doesn't find him on these streets, she can always check the training areas.

From what she understood by Sakura, that whenever their teams gets done with practice or doing low ranked missions. The boy will always head off somewhere to be by himself where he will train or practice with his Taijutsu or Ninjutsu.

"In which Sakura should definitely put work into. She maybe book smart. But I don't think it will save her later in the mission department…I should know, Mia's Jyuuken strikes were to go by you definitely need to be on your toe." Ino thought to herself as well rubbing her back, considering the female sensei.

Somehow figured out that Ino was deadly with her reflexes and with the right training could oppose a great threat to anyone if she was taught on how to use it to her advantage. Walking down the road for a while the girl started to get a little annoyed as she hasn't seen Sasuke anywhere nearby.

Only old couples and people working about, or chatting with each other about something she wasn't interested in. She held the basket in front of her waist with both hands holding onto it, using her blue eyes to seek this boy out but no luck.

"LOOK OUT!" shouted a panic voice, that had Ino freezing in spot as well looking up towards the sky, only to see another pair of blue eyes and then everything went dark in her world

XXX

"Ow, ow, ow why did you had to hit me so hard Ino?" whined out Naruto who was wearing a very large like bump on top of his head from where Ino punched and kicked the boy, for surprising her from miss calculating his jumps between rooftops.

The two of them were now walking down the same path together, with Ino grumbling and apologizing for her reacting like that towards the boy. But did it for a good reason, on the account she almost dropped her picnic basket that she made for her and Sasuke today.

"Sorry Naruto…You know how I get when something unexpected surprises me like that…" She said with a sigh as well bashfully blushing in embarrassment. The boy just shook his head and somehow recovered from his injuries as he lightly chuckled.

"No need to explain Ino I am kind of used to it with Sakura-chan punching me for doing stupid reasons as well so no harm done!" He beamed at the end as well is correct, he is used to these type of punishments whenever he does something stupid or annoys the heck out of others.

The girl softly looked over towards him as she could tell; he was telling the truth that he has been used of receiving punches lately that it was causing the girl to be slight concern of his health? Hell she has seen Sakura hitting the boy for many reasons alone.

Even though some of those reasons turned out to be good intensions sometimes, you just have to remember the boy being an orphan and everything, in which she wondered if he has ever asked where his parents was?

"Hey Naruto-?" she never got to finished her sentence as the boy pointed towards the basket with a big grin, with slight annoyance in his tone when he asked.

"So is the picnic basket for Sasuke Ino? Is that why you've attacked me like that?" He asked getting her to smile as well giggling lightly, got to hand it to the boy. He is very perspective when he needs to be. She nodded and lifted up the basket up to her chest and gave a wide smile towards the boy.

"Yeah I made lunch for just Sasuke and I after hearing that Sakura is sick today? I figured why not take my chances ya know?" She said with a smile, even though she has been told many times from her parents, that she really needed to get out of this phase of hers.

"Ah that makes sense I guess?" Naruto said with a tilt of his head, trying to understand the logic behind it. Even though he is on Sakura's team it should bother him a bit, that Ino wasn't worried about the pink hair ninja's health, but knew deep down Ino does care.

That and she didn't show any signs that she didn't care for the girls safety, he picked up the slight worried tone she had when she did mention Sakura's name so no worries there. On the plus side if HE assisted Ino into winning Sasuke's heart, than maybe he will have a shot against Sakura!

"Hey Ino-chan do you need help with finding Sasuke!? I know every spot that he usually goes when he is alone!" He excitedly told her getting the girl to whip her head at him in confusion, seeing his blue eyes telling the truth that he does knows some of Sasuke's hangouts.

"…What's the catch?" She asked with a slight leer all the while watching the boy bashfully rubbing the back of his head.

"Well…no catch really I mean if you win Sasuke's heart, than Sakura will forget all about him and once she sees him with you, than I can make my move on her."

"Sort of like a rebound?" Ino asked with a raised eyebrow, as much she hates using her friend as a rebound object. The boy made an excellent point that if she were to hook up with Sasuke, the pink hair Kunoichi will give up on the Uchiha…but chances of her being with Naruto are practically slim.

That and there was Hinata who have a big crush on the boy since their younger days. "I guess but it's really not a rebound if you been part of their team for a while right?"

Once again Naruto made another point; it truly wasn't a rebound choice cause like he said. HE actually knows Sakura and had worked with her for a while now "Blunt as you are Naruto, you can make pretty good arguments. But alright if you can help me out with this then you can try and get Sakura okay?" She beamed with a smile all the while laughing when the boy pumped his fist and immediately grabbed the girl by the wrist and started running through the streets in search for the Uchiha.

XXX

They've search high and low for the boy, they've checked the old abandon Uchiha gates. Never actually going into the district considering the feeling of dread and death that still lingers there was forbidding and eerie that had the two too keep going and searching another part of town.

In which was the more ninja like part of the Leaf village, where they were having a difficult time getting some advice or location of the boy's whereabouts. All the while Ino getting a bit peeved off at how some of the store clerks and the likes were shouting at him, or throwing some weapons at the boy for asking a simple question.

She didn't know why it did not bother the boy, but from what she could tell he wasn't phase at all and continued looking with her. Not even two hours into the search and Ino is already feeling somewhat concern for the blonde kid?

Smiling and asking all around along with her doing the same, only for Naruto to be called by unwanted names, being hit on the head for no reason all the while being called a demon brat. She was at breaking point of wanting to use her Mind swap Jutsu on some of these people and eradicate their minds for treating the boy for just being curious!

'If I didn't know any better, they are purposely trying to go out of their way to harm Naruto?' She thought to herself as she was sitting on a bench, looking down at the food she made for her and Sasuke. Wondering if this was a bad idea too asking the boy for help?

She shook her head, she didn't ask for his help Naruto actually offered up his service and knew where Sasuke was. In fact he did know the exact locations, only for said boy not being there. She was lightly flicking one finger against the basket thinking through all the people they have asked for Sasuke location as well the treatment the boy was going through.

Even to the point where her memory went to the time of the park, where most of the parents were picking up their children. Had all of the children too start throwing rocks at him, for just playing and hanging out with them as well chasing the boy out of the playground for just playing with them!

Only later Naruto coming back to the playground having it all to himself as well fun. She was still around at the time as well hanging out with her mother there, who accidentally fell asleep on the bench. In which Ino couldn't help but giggle at the memory considering her and Naruto actually pulled a prank on her and drew flowers on her mother face.

With her face being completely orange as Ino then pulled out some hair gel, to fix her mom's hair in a way of like a Sunflower blooming and when she woke up the two children couldn't help but openly laughed and pointed at her.

To top it all off Ino and Naruto didn't even get scolded for it, as her mother actually got impressed with how they did it and said that Sunflowers are her favorite type of flowers. "Those…were good times." She muttered quietly all the while opening her eyes half way.

She pondered why she stopped hanging out with the boy? Obviously they would have made great friends with each other as well helped the bashful girl out of her shell…Until she figured out why she stopped hanging out with him.

It was the other girls in the classroom and their parents, who started treated Naruto indifferently as well as saying horrible stories about him. Not that she could understand, but when Sasuke was brought into the picture all her focus turned onto him instead of Naruto.

"Hey Ino I spotted Sasuke!" shouted an excited Naruto who was running towards her as well getting the girl out from her musing, by looking up straight at the boy with a big grin and looking at him in a new perspective.

"Really that's great Naruto! Let me guess", she giggled out while standing up from the bench with one finger raise. Causing the boy to just broadly smile and wrapped his hands behind his head, "He is near the docks?" She asked after fixing her dress and grabbing the basket.

"EHEH yup boy does he travel a lot, any way if we don't hurry he will probably disappeared!" Naruto exclaimed as he literately ripped the girl off the bench, causing her to yelp as well screaming out towards Naruto to slow down.

To think it was supposed to be her dragging the boy around, not the other way? She just sighs and shook her head and decided to let it go for now after all, the boy was happy so she should be happy as well. After all this is better than not finding Sasuke at all and waste an entire day of searching and letting the food go bad.

XXX

Right on schedule as well Naruto being correct, there was Sasuke using and practicing his Fire ball jutsu over the lake. Showing tremendous power behind the jutsu as well how much chakra he is putting into it, that had Ino watching from the distance on the grassy path way that is leading towards the docks.

She looked over towards Naruto, who was staying behind as emotional support giving the girl two thumbs up as well whispering out just go for it. Much he doesn't understand romance; he does a great job of supporting others. She steeled her shoulders up a bit and let out a calming breath after relaxing them.

She then started walking forward with her heart thumping really fast as well feeling it against her chest, that she was becoming a nervous wreck. She dreamed everything about this day and moment to be with Sasuke, with no Sakura to come and interrupting her in her efforts of being with the boy.

"Hey-hey Sasuke-kun", she spoke up all the while smiling lightly as well hearing the boy grunted out with an annoying growl, turning his head with that uninterested look in his eyes. Staring directly at the girl that she…unknown reasons started feeling like she wasn't welcome?

"What do you want?" He asked in a very bored like tone and uninterested, hell he was just practically looking straight through the girl. Just like everyone else as well as Sakura she is annoying and obnoxious. Going around screaming and yelling, fawning over him for everything he does. Encouraging other girls to join on his fan club in which he didn't ask for.

"I was wondering if you wanted to…well spend time with me and eat lunch together?" she asked while rubbing her foot against the floorboard a bit hoping for the boy to agree in joining her in lunch as well accepting her offer.

Considering how long it took too just finding him was annoying enough, as well wasted a good amount of lunch time. "Why should I even bother eating with the likes of you?" That stung…

"Look Sasuke…" She breathed out with an annoying sigh "I've had a very long day searching for you and worked my butt off making this lunch for just you and me. All I am asking that it would be nice to you know, you and I could have a romantic lunch with each other?" She said with a small smile and bringing her arms behind her back.

"So this way you can get on my good side, like that weak excuse friend of yours?" He stated in a cold tone, causing Ino to turn her head towards the boy with slight shock. He did not just insulted Sakura like that in front of her did he!?

"What no-no it's nothing like that, I figure that you would join me in having lunch. Naruto and I searched all over the place for you an-"

She stopped her sentence all the while watching the way the boy just grunted and shook his head, all the while laughing a bit "I see…the only reason Naruto is helping you, is so that when Sakura sees me and you together. He can take advantage of her sadness and make his move on her, by using me." He retorted causing Ino to harden her stare just a bit.

"It's nothing like that and Naruto will never-"

"Then what would you call it Ino? You asked the boy for help searching for me, knowing how much Sakura fawns over me. That he will take any chances he gets to be with the girl, so he starts helping you to be closer with me and then once his task is done. He will then be able to go and be with Sakura, helping to calm her down and the likes right?" He stated getting Ino to grimace her eye a bit.

When he put it like that it actually does seem like it, but no it wasn't anything like that. "Then why not do the same thing with Naruto and get Hinata upset huh? I'm sure that will get the girl to become more serious in her ninja career, than being shy and useless all the time."

Naruto was just messing around with a few flowers nearby, trying to figure out where they have been growing lately? He wouldn't say it out in the open, but he likes to discover new things whenever he got the chance, like those Snow flowers that grew up on the Hokage mountain that were only seeable in Land of Waters.

He happily smiled and plucked the rainbow color like flower and stood up, wanting to get Ino's advice on the thing. Only for him to widen his eyes and whip his head in the direction of the lake, where he heard a very loud slap and right after a loud splash could be heard next.

He saw Ino was fuming and grumbling badly, as well stream of tears were falling out of her eyes as she was heading into his direction. The basket was still in her hands as well showing where it got damage a bit, getting the boy to be concern.

"Ino what oomph!" he tried to say only to get hugged by the girl, who was pressing her face into his shoulders, crying un controllably as well apologizing to him? For what he wasn't sure but when he looked up towards the docks, he saw that Sasuke was pulling himself out of the waters matching a very large hand print on his cheek.

Courtesy by one Ino Yamanaka who finally pulled away from the boy, wiping her eyes with her fingers as Naruto just gave a small smile, letting Ino take her time in getting her emotions under control "Sorry-sorry about that Naruto…"

"Hey it's okay Ino I don't know what Sasuke said that got you upset, but you know I'm always here when you need someone to speak with as well Haku and Hinata!" He said, then blinked his eyes almost forgetting about the flower he found nearby.

"Oh right Ino I was wondering if you knew what this flower is?" He asked, lifting up the rainbow color design flower from his hands that had Ino blinking her eyes at the plant, thinking that it was only a toy, only to then throw it out after the sun rays, reflected off from a nearby window and landed onto the said flower.

As it was blooming fully and opening up in front of their very eyes, causing the surrounding area to be covered in multi colorful rainbows on the walls and themselves. Making the two of them smile and gasp at the sight they were witnessing.

Ino then looked towards the boy with a smile; it was moment like these that always seems to happen with him, especially when it comes to flowers. What Sasuke wanted her to do with the boy was wrong, as he wanted to trick the boy into going onto a fake date with her.

Going to all the places that Hinata might be at, making fake moves and loving moments at Naruto in a way to hurt Hinata badly, thinking that it will have her become more serious ninja. She wouldn't do that to one of her closest friends, especially towards Naruto and Hinata.

They've done nothing wrong to her, or treated her badly at all "Hey Naruto?" she asked with a smile and a small blushed, getting the boy to turn his head at the girl with a confuse expression then smiled broadly when she lifted up her basket.

"Want to have lunch with me? You can bring that flower along if ya want!" She said excitedly as the boy couldn't help but nod in agreement and left with the girl.

"Sasuke really said that!" Naruto asked with slight anger, as his tails thumped against the ground angrily along with Ino's own four yellow fox tails as she nodded and glared at the table.

Naruto couldn't believe it, no wondered the girl lost a lot of interest in that bastard. Let alone what he wanted the girl to do in a way to hurt both him and Hinata by pretending to going on dates with him and purposely showing themselves in front of the girl. Just so in Sasuke's mind that she will be more serious in her ninja career? That is really messed up.

"Yeah…though I really did enjoy our picnic date with each other Naruto, especially with that flower you found!" She beamed excitedly as well looking over towards one of the vases in the dining room that had the same flower the boy gave her a year ago. Still healthy and standing strong to this very day, as a reminder of how bright and fun the boy was.

She then sighed as she felt the boy resting a hand onto hers with that smile of his, "I did too Ino best homemade meal I ever had!" He exclaimed while the two then started giggling as well gasping as the sun rays just like one year ago, reflected off from couple of the surfaces and struck the Rainbow like flower.

Illuminating it across the room, giving everything that wonderful and multi colors too them, that had Ino and Naruto smiling at one another as well the boy shivering after he felt Ino legs gliding down his, "Now you know how you can make this even more enjoyable?" She purred while leaning forward on the table.

Getting the boy to chuckle a she got up from the chair and position himself behind the girl, getting the girl to giggle out and then let out a loud moan later knowing that the two hormones have hit breaking point and decided to fix their little problem.

As the sun rays moved away from the Rainbow flower, showing one flower petal falling off from its stems, gently floating and gliding against the counter where their group picture was as a giant crack then split across it right where Hinata and Naruto is.

Ominous black and red clouds are slowly approaching the Leaf village.
