AN: OK once again I back tracked to keep the current story line. Sorry for the long wait there have been a lot of things going on in my house so I couldn't get to posting right away, but here it is, the final conversion from FF.net! Hope you like it!
Once again her devilish smile came back in full-force as she replied; "Oh you KNOW I am! Besides, I can't very well just leave those there, it might raise too many questions." and gave a wink as she did so.
The clone chuckled and pulled her close as he said; "Who says anyone is going to see them?" with a grin of his own, at which point Ino giggled and leaned in to kiss him one more time. However, just as she placed her lips on his, she heard a gasp and turned to see where it came from. When she did, her eyes went wide in panic, for there in the doorway of the store stood one paled-eyed and heartbroken…"Hinata!" said Ino as she called out her name. The Hyuga Princess stood there in shock, unable to say even a word, her breath ragged and shaky! At this point Ino began to panic! Here she was in the arms of her lover, caught red handed by the woman who she knew loved him with all her heart, kissing the man of said woman's dreams! She had to have seen them, and Kami only knows what else she heard! So much for keeping it a secret, not even a day passes and they were already busted! 'Oh shit! How could this have happened!? How do we explain this!?' Ino thought, as she looked onto a horrified Hinata. She had no clue what to do, she didn't even know what to say! Hinata couldn't believe what she was seeing, tears welled up in her eyes as she looked on, not only was Ino in Naruto's arms but she had kissed him! The love of her life, and the man she had come to adore! All at once, she could feel her heart caving in on her, like someone had just crushed it from inside of her chest. 'This can't be! It can't be true! No! NO! NOOOOO!' she thought, as the image of her kissing Naruto replayed in her mind, fearing that she had lost her dearest love to her supposed best friend. And before this, who would have been her ally against Sakura. She began shaking violently, unable to contain the pain and the betrayal in her heart. Ino looked over to her lover, who at the moment looked confused and hopelessly clueless, and wondered what to do. The clone looked back to Ino as well, and they forced themselves to pry out of each others arms. Ino then turned back to Hinata, who looked like she would be knocked over by a stiff wind, she had to defuse this situation before things got ugly. But how!? Here stood a woman with one the most powerful bloodline traits in the village, who found the man she loved in the arms of her best friend, to say it was impossible was putting it mildly! There was no lying her way out of this one, she knew they had been discovered, that there was no chance of fixing this. All at once her thoughts of this day came rushing back, the fears she had if Hinata had found out, and if she told Kiba. Gods she swore she wouldn't let his happen, yet here they stood, she had to think fast or else Hinata might do something she would regret. Calmly and slowly Ino began walking towards Hinata and said; "Hinata…sweetie…I know what this looks like but please hear me…" however, before she could say another word, Hinata turned on her heels and ran out of the door! "…wait NO! COME BACK!" she yelled out and ran to the door, but it was too late, Hinata was gone before she got there! "FUCK! I can't believe this is happening!" she yelled in a panic, she had to find her fast, or Kami only knows what may happen to her! She turned back into the store, where the clone stood looking dazed. Even if it was just a clone, he still had Naruto's ability to sense dark emotions, and just now he sensed a whole lot of pain, sorrow and anger from the Pale-eyed Princess. Because of the nature of this ability, he was unable to sense feelings like Love and such things, and thus he was confused as to the reason why she felt all that so he asked; "What's going on? Why did Hinata look at us like that?! She looked like we had just ripped out her very soul!" clueless to why Hinata was acting that way. Ino sort of chuckled, if only he knew how right he was, hell they may as well have at this point! She shook her head, this being one of the few times she was both grateful, and agitated that he was so dense. She decided to keep him in the dark, this was her mess, she would clean it up. She walked over to the clone then rested her hands around his cheeks and said very carefully; "Listen, I want you to go back and keep training. Let me worry about Hinata, I'll find a way to smooth this over, just don't do anything or say anything that might draw attention to yourself ok?" at first the clone looked confused, but after a minute he nodded, saying he understood. She gave him one last deep kiss, and with that, the clone dispersed and she was left alone. She went over to the sign on the outside of the store entrance, and turned it over from Open, to Closed and then chased after Hinata. She could only pray she would catch her in time…(A Few Minutes Earlier)
Back at Training Area 15, Naruto and Tenten were still working through his weapon training, at the moment Naruto was in the middle of fighting at least 150 clones. Having already mastered and refined his new weapon fighting style, Tenten had decided it was time to test it out against a large crowd, so Naruto had made 300 clones to start with. However, fearing that his coat may get damaged in the process, he had taken it off before creating them and asked one of them to take it back to his place. However, unknown to Tenten, he had whispered something to the clone that she wasn't able to hear. This being the question he had asked for Ino, and figuring that she was probably in her family's shop, sent the clone there to deliver the message. Naruto moved to block an incoming Kunai from the right side, then stabbed the clone that threw it at him, causing it to burst into a puff of smoke. The next clone came at him with a sword, as Tenten who was standing by the Taijutsu steaks had provided the clones with ulterior weapons, sensing the attack Naruto turned and deflected the sword with his left hand and swung with his right. Slicing the head completely off the clone before it vanished, the sight of it made Tenten shiver, gripping her neck as she gulped! She had to admit, Guy-sensei and Kakashi-sensei were right about one thing, Naruto was very fierce when he needed to be. Not to mention brutal, as the next clone that came at him was sliced up like a piece of deli meat! Not a good way to go, but then again after some of the things she had seen Naruto do to these clones, it could have been a lot worse! One such clone was practically turned into a pincushion! Having been using the Chakra Infusion Jutsu the whole fight, he was even able to slice one of the clones clean in half, which didn't even faze him! Thus far it had been a ruthless and bloody battle, or what would have been one if not for them being clones, and so far the real Naruto had never been touched. Not that they were making it easy for him, as Naruto had been on his toes the entire fight, having dodged quite a few close calls. At this point 3 more charged him all at once, believing the numbers might give them better odds, each wielding a metal Bo staff, Kasuri-gama, and pair of steel Tonfas respectively. How sadly they were mistaken, as Naruto sliced clean through the Bo staff and the clone wielding it, as he tried to block the incoming attack. The second clone tried to use the weight of the Kasuri-gama to pull the gauntlet out of Naruto's hand, only to find Naruto pulling said clone to him, and slicing his arm clean off! Once his other arm was free, he stabbed the claws straight into his head, before lifting him up and tossing him into the rest of the crowd! The last of the three came at him with a punching combo, rather then try to block the practically invincible Tiger Gauntlets, a poor mistake as Naruto dodged one of the punches and stabbed him straight in the chest and forced him down to the ground where all 3 of them disappeared at the same time. When Naruto destroyed her Bo Staff, Tenten yelled out; "HEY WATCH IT! Even if my Dad makes those weapons, I still have to pay for them you know!" though it seemed kind of silly to pay for weapons your dad makes for you, the fact was they had a business to run and had to pay for the materials. The Clones and Naruto froze, as Naruto turned back towards Tenten, and replied; "OH SORRY!" making sure to be more careful about her weapons from then on. Afterwards the next clone ran at him with a Tanto, screaming like a raging Gorilla! Naruto stood from his position, then deflected the Tanto with a Spinning Round House Kick, just before he stabbed the clone in the right side! As that clone disappeared, that the one at the Yamanaka Flower's shop had dispelled itself, causing all of the clones and Naruto to stop dead in there tracks. It was quiet for a moment, as all the clones eyes went slightly wide, as did Naruto's as the memories of that particular clone played out before them. Still believing Ino's words from yesterday, he could almost hear her Dad screaming and cursing him out, forbidding him from ever seeing Ino as a lover. 'Crap! How the fuck did this happen!? If Hinata blabs about me and Ino, it's over! I'll never get to see her again!' he thought, worried about his future with his fellow blond. Tenten had noticed the shift in Naruto's expression, so she asked worriedly; "Hey, what's going on? Why did you stop all of a sudden?" wondering what could be on his mind. Hearing Tenten's voice brought Naruto out of this thoughts, remembering the words Ino told his clone, he decided to play it cool and replied; "Oh! It's OK. I was just winded is all, don't worry I'm fine, really!" he plastered on his brightest smile, hoping she wouldn't catch on. Tenten just gave a confused look, clearly there was something she missed, but what ever it was it seemed he wasn't going to talk about it so she said; "Oh…well OK…if you say so." deciding to let the subject drop. Naruto gave a silent sigh of relief, grateful that she bought it, but he couldn't rest as a few more clones charged him from behind. This time one of them was using the Rasengan! Immediately Naruto did a Front Flip Crescent Moon Kick and landed on his back, catching the clone by the wrist with his right foot, diverting the Jutsu and carrying the Clone that used it over him as he stabbed said clone in the stomach and kicked him off the claws with his left foot and into another clones! Tenten's jaw dropped at the display, awestruck at the amazing feat he just pulled. She couldn't believe her eyes, as she said; "Whoa, Nice move Naruto! That was incredible!" as she was whooping about. She knew he was good, but to pull a move like that off at point black range? However, Naruto had little time to celebrate as one of the other clones tried to catch him while he was on the ground, by slamming a Naginata down on top of him! To which Naruto blocked using the glove part of the gauntlets and knocked it out of the way before he sat up and slashed the clone through the stomach gutting him like a fish! Another tried to stab him with a spear, so he began to roll out of the way, then got to his knees and deflected the spear before grabbing it and forcing it into a clone behind him. Before the one with the spear had time to react, he was on his feet and impaled him in the blink of an eye! 'That was close! Another mistake like that, and I'm a goner!' Naruto thought as he took a few labored breaths, it was better to keep his mind on the task at hand, lest he be on the receiving end of one of these attacks. He trusted Ino to handle the situation with Hinata, he looked around to take a head count, about 125 more to go and with each one he destroyed the more exhausted he became. Having defeated more then 175 clones all together, it was easy to imagine how tired he was, needless to say the pressure was on. Either he defeated them or one mistake and he found himself in a long wooden box! Suddenly another set of 5 clones attacked, which Naruto defeated using a Cyclone Slash (1.), making sure not to damage the weapons the used. And so his training continued as more and more clones bombarded him. (2.) However, unknown to either Tenten or Naruto, someone else had been watching his progress. As Kiba sat on one of the branches of a near by tree, hidden from sight while he watched the carnage that Naruto had been creating with his clones. Having finished his training with Hinata and the others, he once again had Akamaru return home then decided to follow Naruto for the rest of the day, since the field where Naruto was hadn't been far and following Ino from when she left the house had turned up nothing. Thinking back to that event, he still couldn't get the look in Hinata's eyes out of his head, much less the rest of that sexy body of hers. At one point during a prior border patrol mission, Hinata had gone off to bathe, and being the perverted sleazy mutt he is. Kiba followed after after her, under the guise of walking Akamaru, and watched her. Needless to say he was very surprised by her endowment. It really pissed him off knowing that such a beautiful angel, would rather wait for a man who obviously would never come for her, instead of Clan Heir like him! Sure Naruto was strong, stronger than he could ever be, but that didn't mean he had to like it. He stared on, shaking fiercely with each passing moment. He struggled to remain calm, knowing that Naruto could sense negative emotions, but he was unable to hold back the fear of what he was seeing. Sure they were clones of himself, but the things Naruto did to them were frightening to say the least, Kami only knows what he would do to a real enemy! He gave a silent gulp at that thought, thankful that for the moment Naruto saw him as a friend. Make no mistake, on a mission he was no coward by any means, and normally he would enjoy a tough fight! But even Dogs and Wolves know better then to pick on a beast stronger then themselves alone, and when it came to Naruto, that went double for Kiba. Even though Naruto was a Genin, it was clear to him that Naruto was strong enough to match even an ANBU at this point! All the more reason to say on his good side. One thing struck him as odd though, what was it he whispered to the clone before it left? Whatever it was, it sounded important. However, being unable to create clones himself unless with Akamaru, he was forced to chose to stay here or go after the clone. Wanting to gauge Naruto's strength for himself, he decided to stay, though now he was beginning to regret it. Little did he know, just how much he would come to regret his choice after all… (3.)(Elsewhere...)
Hinata ran as fast as she could, not even looking as she was running through the streets. She instinctively knew where she was going, her mind racing with thoughts as her feet winged her to her destination. 'Why!? Why did it have to be Ino? WHY HER INSTEAD OF ME!?' She thought, as tears began streaming down her cheeks. Before she knew it, she had arrived at her favorite spot, the place where she and Naruto met during their first Chuunin Exams. She stood in the center of the Third Training Ground, a place that despite the battles it has come to know, still held a sense of tranquility about it. She went to the wooden post in the middle, the one where that faithful encounter took place, the time when she helped Naruto find the strength to fight Neji. Something he couldn't do on his own. She had been to this place many times in the past, most when she needed time to get away from her family, others when she needed to think. But lately, and now more then ever, she came her to dream! Dream of the day when she and Naruto could be together, when she could hold him in her arms and she in his, tell him she loved him and give him her first kiss. The mere thought of that dream use to make her heart pound like a bass drum, but now all she could do was weep, she knew that dream would never come. Finding no more strength to even stand she braced herself against the post, and began to slide down it, letting her weight carry her to the ground. The images flashed though her mind once more, and she burst into tears, openly crying her heart out. "Why, why didn't tell him when I had the chance? Why didn't I listen to KIBA!?" she asked her self, as she began to think back to the events of the day. Regretting having ignored the Inuzuka.(Flashback) (Note: Now as I said before, there were a lot of details that I didn't get into the previous chapter, namely the events from Hinata's point of view. This will lead up to the events that took place in the last chapter, namely where she found Ino and Naruto. )
9:03 AM, Six and a half hours ago. Hinata had met up with the rest of her team at Training Ground 19, the morning sun rising high above there heads. In attendance was Shino Aburame, Kiba and Akamaru, and last but not least the technical squad leader Shikamaru Nara. Who at the moment looked like he had just woken up from a very brisk nap, as he yawned loudly as the team stared on. He scratched behind his head as he looked onto his temporary team and thought, 'What a drag…why did we have to get up so early in the morning?' before he said; "Well as you know, I have been assigned as Team Leader 'till Kurenai-sensei is off maternity leave, which wont be for another couple of months. However, Kurenai-sensei still has final say in all the drills we run, so that being said she has asked me to have you run a Protect and Capture drill…" He paused there to see if everyone was paying attention. Naturally, Kiba being the dense one of the group asked; "What's a Protect and Capture drill?" unfamiliar with that scenario. The lazy Nara gave an amused smile, before he continued his explanation; "…I'm glad you asked! The object of the drill is simple, Hinata is the target, I am the aggressor. Your objective, is to protect Hinata, while at the same time to try and disable or even defeat me. My objective, is to capture Hinata, at all costs! The idea of the drill is to teach you how to protect a High value target, while trying to defeat an enemy attacker at the same time. The rules are as follows, you have to disable me any way you can, so hold nothing back. If I catch Hinata with my Shadow Possession Jutsu, then the drill is over and you lose! If I catch you, Akamaru and Shino with it at the same time then you lose, as it would leave Hinata wide open! The drill will last 'till sun down, if you can't beat me by then, you lose is that clear?" as he looked to each of them. Immediately Kiba barked; "Hey wait! That's not fair, you have countless ways to win, and we only have one! How do you expect us to win with those odds?!" unhappy about the rule settings. Shikamaru chuckled as he smirked, then replied; "Funny, I remember Naruto saying the same thing about his fight with you in the Chunin Exams, and look how that turned out…" he paused as he heard Kiba growl at the mention of his defeat at Naruto's hands, which only caused him to shake his head as he continued, "…Sometimes life gives you unfair circumstances, it's how you deal with them that defines who you are. I didn't want to lose Asuma-sensei to those Akatsuki freak shows, but look what happened. The fact of the matter is, life isn't fair, more often then not you will find nothing goes the way you plan it to. Sometimes even a good strategist like me, has to take a step back and rethink a plan, should anything go awry. The point being, you will have to face those sort of situations eventually, better that you be prepared to deal with them should the time come. Now, if no one else has any objections, we should get started." he looked towards each member of the team to get there answer. Shino gave a cold, brisk answer of; "I have no objections." stating that he wished to proceed. Hinata however had a question, so she asked; "Um…Shikamaru? Am I allowed to attack or am I purely defensive? I don't want to just be protected, I want to help my friends, so I can become stronger like Naruto." the mere mention of his name was like a Kick to the teeth for Kiba, and it was worse when it came from her mouth! It was a real pain in the ass to have to hear the woman you love, constantly talk about the man you despise! At least in this one point, he sympathized with Naruto, for having put up with it with Sakura and Sasuke. That question made the Nara genius think, even he didn't know how to answer that one easily. Deciding it would probably be for the best, he replied; "Well normally I would suggest against it, seeing as it would put you in even more danger, but seeing how adamant you are about it I guess you can. Besides it might give you more of an advantage, and especially against some one with my type of Jutsu, you would need all the advantage you can get." knowing how eager she was to prove herself. With a happy giggle, she nodded and said; "OK then! I'm Ready!" though what she said about getting stronger like Naruto was true, her real motives were so she could take on Sakura, should the need ever arise. Before the Pink Haired Kunoichi was little more then a nuisance, a minor irritation she couldn't get rid of, now however she was a major threat to her hopes and dreams. If Naruto found out about Sakura's love for him, it would all be over, he would accept her without a second thought! She knew he would, which was all the more reason to get this done, and get to Ino's place as fast as possible. 'I won't give him up! Not to anybody, and especially not to HER! I'll DIE before I let that happen!' she thought, clenching her fist in silent fury, as she prepared for what was to come. Kiba had noticed the slight hand movement she made, however decided not to bring it up, at least not yet. He turned to Akamaru who was sitting behind him, realizing there was no way around this, he asked his dog Partner; "You ready Akamaru?" to which the large white dog replied with a rather loud "ROWF ROWF!" signifying that he was ready. Taking that as a yes, Kiba grinned as he turned around and answered; "We're ready!" with a nod. The Nara boy smiled, and nodded as well, then said; "Alright! BEGIN!" at which point the five of them all disappeared in the blink of an eye! Vanishing deeper into the Training Area. Training Area 19 was a large well-lit Forest like Area, complete with pit traps and such obstacles, designed to test a Ninja's reflexes and Ingenuity, most of which the Nara family themselves set up as they were natural trap masters. No doubt Shikamaru had chosen this area for that very reason, as more then likely he had set up quite a few traps of his own late last night. Add that to the fact that with the morning sun, the trees would provide all the shadows that the Nara genius would need to maximize his Jutsu, making it nearly impossible to get away! Let alone fight him or protect Hinata. Needless to say, their work was cut out for them! Kiba and Akamaru stayed at each others side, to prepare for the fight ahead. With a silent Nod to Akamaru, who returned said Nod, Kiba quickly used a few hand signs and whispered; "Man Beast Clone Jutsu!" transforming Akamaru into a beast like clone of himself, while at the same time he flew through another set of hand signs and also whispered; "Beast Mimicry: All-Fours Jutsu!" turning Kiba into a Human version of the now transformed Akamaru. Utilizing his new senses, Kiba sniffed out his prey, that being the "Naruto Sympathizer" as he called them, Shikamaru who was about 3 miles into the forest. Kiba snarled and growled, ready to launch an attack on the would be Team Leader. Else where in the Forest, Shino had decided to stick with the Target, in this case Hinata as they began talking of a strategy. "So what do we do? Trying to protect you is one thing, but trying to out maneuver, let alone out think a genius like Shikamaru is nearly impossible. We would be lucky just to escape him, let alone beat him in this place." he said, the first hint of worry lacing into his voice. As far as strategy goes, Shikamaru was no push over, as he could predict almost every move the enemy would make before they even made it! The way he out foxed Tamari was proof of that, so how do you beat a man with an I.Q. of 200!? Hinata had to think about it, as they were leaping through the trees, Shino was right. This would be by no means an easy victory, this was Shikamaru's home turf, in here he had the advantage. Then she remembered what Shikamaru said, the part about a strategist having to rethink his plans, and what he said at the party. How Naruto's unpredictability would be a match for him in Shogi. And that's when it came to her! A wicked little smile came to her lips, one Shino had never seen before, as she said; "Then we don't think, we react! We have to confuse him, keep him guessing, and come up with plans as they come to us." knowing that the best chance they had was to keep Shikamaru on his toes. Shino looked surprised to say the least, though you couldn't see it under his hood and glasses, but still it prompted him to ask; "Really, and how do we do that?" curious as to what she had in mind. Hinata giggled lightly, finding it hard to believe he hadn't figured it out, so she gave him the simplest answer she could. "We think like Naruto." she said, with a blushing smile. Having known her love for the longest time, she had come to know every trick in his book, and she was about to unleash every one of them on Shikamaru! Shino paused for a moment, completely stunned at what she was saying, but the more he thought about it the more it made sense. Turning his attention away to the matter at hand, he said; "That might actually work." rather impressed she could think of something like that. Hinata gave a pleased giggle, proud that she actually managed to surprise Shino, and so she replied; "It will, trust me!" and thus the battle began! (4.) (Five hours later…) For Shikamaru the battle had been a grueling one, at every turn he had to change strategies, being forced to think on his feet. Through out the battle Hinata, Shino, Kiba and Akamaru had dodged everything he had thrown at them, with the exception of Kiba being the only one who got caught in his traps. Namely his Shadow Possession Jutsu, however when ever he was, Akamaru countered by charging at him using a Tunneling Fang Jutsu, there by forcing him to flee or drop the Jutsu. In which case, Kiba would follow up Akamaru with his own Tunneling Fang, resulting in their signature Fang Over Fang Jutsu, which forced Shikamaru to flee once again. And this didn't help, as Shino's Insect Swarm was on his heels every where he went, this was not going as he had planned! And forget trying to capture Hinata, as every chance she got she tried to get close and attack with the Eight Trigrams: 32 Palms assault, forcing him to fall back after which she followed up by firing off her Chakra Needles. Forcing him to turn on his heels once again and run. 'What's with these guys? They're never usually this aggressive, least of all Hinata! At this rate I won't have enough Chakra to even use the Shadow Possession Jutsu, in which case I'm sunk! With that Byakugan of hers, Hinata can see though all my traps and those three just wont let up! All they do is just keep attacking! WAIT A SEC! They cant be…!?' thought Shikamaru, as he stopped dead in his tracks, believing he now knew what they were up to. '…So that's how it is huh? Well fine, two can play at that game!' He turned around and waited for them to come to him. His Chakra reserves were just strong enough to use his Jutsu 3 more times. He knew it was time to take a stand! Meanwhile Hinata, Shino, Kiba and Akamaru where leaping through the trees, baring down on Shikamaru as they were half a mile away when Hinata called out; "He stopped!" telling them that the Nara genius was up to something. Shino, who was closer to Hinata, turned to her and said; "If he stopped, it is more then likely that he has formulated a plan, he must be expecting us." explaining Shikamaru's actions. Kiba who was a little ways behind Hinata, with Akamaru just behind him, turned to Hinata as asked; "So what now? What do we do?" wondering what their next move was. Hinata turned to Shino and gave a nod, whom seemed to give a nod of understanding back, before turning her attention back to Shikamaru's direction and answered; "We keep at it, sooner or later he is going to run out of chakra and then we have him, for now just keep hammering him!" as they rushed into the fray. Suddenly Kiba got the feeling that he was missing something. It wasn't like Hinata to be so brazen, so daring to charge in head first like this, not that he could complain considering how effective it has been so far. But for some reason, he couldn't help but feel like he had seen this before. However, before he could give it another thought, the had arrived where Shikamaru was waiting for them. And then all hell broke loose! The moment the four of them where in the clearing where Shikamaru stood, he started throwing Kunai in almost every direction, however this was only a ruse as only the first 5 were just regular Kunai. The next set were covered with Paper bombs, which were set with a 5 second fuse, that were ignited the moment they left his hands so they would explode on contact as they hit the trees around them! The four of them had dodged the first set easy enough, however the second set seemed more difficult as they exploded almost immediately after they hit, destroying the trees and such that they touched. Realizing they were easier targets packed together they spread out, and tried to converge on his position, however they unknowingly played right into his hand! Akamaru was the first one to try and attack him, however Shikamaru was ready for him, as Akamaru soon found himself caught in a web of Ninja Wires that the Nara had set when he threw the first set of Kunai! Realizing his friend and partner had been caught, Kiba stopped in his tracks as he landed on a tree branch and called out; "Akamaru!?" to see if he was ok. The lovable white dog then dropped the Jutsu, and gave a whimper to signify he was alright, albeit trapped in a Wire Cocoon as he dangled helplessly from the trees. This distraction was all Shikamaru needed as he thought; 'Got yah now!' and threw 2 more Kunai with Paper Bombs on them, both of which landed right beside Kiba and the resulting explosion knocked Kiba to the ground! Kiba was dazed for a moment, though he was unharmed as he only fell 20 feet, he suddenly found he couldn't move! He looked to his right and now knew why, in the middle of his shadow was one of the late Asuma Sarutobi's Chakra Blades! No doubt infused with Shikamaru's chakra. But this also made him wonder, where was the light coming from to make the shadow as it was his own, since the afternoon sun was now high above there heads. Normally in a forest as thick as this one, the said position of the sun would give very little light source, let alone enough for a shadow as thick as the one he was seeing now to appear. That's when it hit him, and so he looked over to the Nara that had trapped him to confirm his suspicions. Shikamaru smiled as he noticed Kiba had found the Chakra blade, and so with no reason to hide it any more he said; "Shadow Possession Shuriken Jutsu, complete!" with a slight snicker, knowing that he was now onto his plan. Realizing what he was up to, Kiba called out; "WATCH OUT! He's been clearing the forest to make our shadows appear!" trying to warn his friends of what he was up to. Both Hinata and Shino heard Kiba's warning, but it came to late as before they could do anything about it, Shikamaru threw a Flash Bomb kunai directly in front of both of them! Blinding them for a moment, though Shino had recovered quickly due to him wearing Sunglasses and his hood, and trying to launch a counter-attack sent a massive swarm of Parasitic Beetles at Shikamaru. However, Shikamaru only smiled, as he stated; "It's over." then pointed to Hinata who was on the ground due to being blinded. Kiba did his best to look at Hinata, when he did his eyes went wide in disbelief and he cried out; "NO!" as to his shock Hinata, who was now mimicking Shikamaru, had been captured by Shikamaru's Shadow Possession Jutsu! Indeed, it was over, they had failed! Shikamaru stared onto the frozen Hyuga Heiress and said; "Shadow Possession Jutsu, complete! You lose." feeling some what proud of himself. It's not every day you can take on 3 Clan Heirs and actually win, let alone from the Aburame, Hyuga and Inuzuka respectively. Or so he thought… Suddenly out of the blue, he heard; "Don't be so sure!" Immediately Shikamaru's eyes went wide in shock as he turned his head around, and to his surprise, behind him stood the beautiful Pale-eyed Princess herself! Pointing two fingers directly at his neck, threatening to sever the chakra to his spinal cord! "You Lose." Hinata chimed, grinning ear to ear as she giggled. Needless to say Shikamaru, as well as Kiba, was stunned. "B-but how…!?" he asked. Completely baffled, as to his knowledge Hinata didn't know the Shadow Clone Jutsu, so there shouldn't be two of them! He looked over to the Hinata that he had captured, and was surprised to see the said girl disperse into thousands of beetles! At the sight of this his jaw, not to mention Kiba's, dropped like a ten ton weight. "W-what's going on?!" he asked, wondering how they did that. Hinata giggled again, as she explained; "Naruto Tactic Number One: Diversion by Clone! In this case, a Bug Clone! I had Shino make one for me." feeling rather proud of herself. Shikamaru blinked in confusion as he asked; "HUH!? But when…?" wondering when they had time to do that. Hinata continued to smile as she answered; "Since the beginning. You see, when you captured Akamaru and Kiba, I knew you had to be coming for either me of Shino. Earlier when you said that if you caught all of them it would leave me wide open, however that wasn't true as Shino could still command his beetles to attack you. So that left the obvious choice, Me! So we had the clone intercept the Jutsu." explaining that the clone had always been there. Kiba, who was just as stumped as Shikamaru, was forced to ask; "Wait, I don't understand, what does Naruto have to do with this?" confused as to what she meant. It was Shino who offered an explanation as he said; "It would seem Naruto was the inspiration for our victory today. Remember the Chuunin Exams, how Naruto beat Neji? The same method was applied here, although with some minor adjustments." with a hidden smirk. Even he was quite impressed by this outcome! It was Shikamaru's turn to be confused as he asked; "What do you mean by that?" curious as to how Naruto played a role in this. With the Drill over, Hinata dropped her stance and let Shikamaru go, as she answered; "Simply put, you talk too much. Remember at the party, how you said Naruto was possibly the only one who might stand a chance against you in Shogi?" Shino came over to Kiba an pulled the Chakra Blade out of Kiba's shadow, there by freeing him, and explained; "Hinata knew Shikamaru was a tactical genius, capable of predicting every move we would make, so the only way to beat him was to be unpredictable. Naruto's pension for irrational thinking made him the perfect example." as the beetles from the clone returned to his body. Kiba however was still confused, so he inquired; "But wait, that doesn't explain what happened just now. If that was a bug clone, then how was it using your Jutsus?" clueless to what was really happening. Hinata sheepishly smiled, as she replied; "Actually, that was really me. Shino had the clone on standby in case I got into trouble. I admit, when Shikamaru threw that flash bomb, I was surprised! But when the bomb went off, I leaped up higher into the trees and Shino had the clone appear on the ground, so it would look like I had fallen from being blinded. The rest just fell into place. Naruto Tactic Number Two: Act and React!" giggling once again as she praised Naruto once more. Shikamaru just chuckled, he couldn't believe what he was hearing, beaten by his own pride! "I got to hand it to you Hinata, that was quite an impressive strategy, using Naruto's tactic's to get me to lower my guard. For a while there I didn't think you had a plan at all." he said; humbled by the Blue-haired beauty. However, Shino surprised him as he said; "There wasn't one. At least as far as we were concerned." admitting that there never was a plan. That had thrown Shikamaru for a loop, so he asked; "So wait, the whole time you were really just attacking me, but why?" wondering why they would do something so risky, but then again Naruto was the same way. Hinata giggled once more as she answered; "Naruto Tactic Number Three: Create a pattern, repeat it, and then change it!" giving a blushing grin as she mentioned the man of her dreams again. That was really beginning to piss Kiba off! Though he wouldn't say it. Shikamaru looked slightly confused, so Shino happily explained; "As Hinata said, you talk to much. Remember when you said that even a good strategist like you, has to take a step back and rethink a plan, should any thing go awry? The only way to keep ourselves unpredictable, was to keep you guessing and making you believe that we had no other plans, and the only way to do that was to keep reacting to the situation at hand. In short, we thought like Naruto." he turned to Hinata and gave a nod, expecting her to finish up. Hinata nodded in return and so she said in closing; "The point of constantly attacking you was to keep you on your toes so you couldn't formulate a plan, this much was true, but the real reason why was to give us time to make up a plan of our own, and so that you would get use to us just attacking you and making you believe that was all we were doing. That way, when we did come up with a plan, you wouldn't be expecting it! The clone substitution was just a last second idea." she gave a watered down version of Naruto's smile, happy with herself for actually pulling it off. Shikamaru couldn't believe it, he practically slapped himself silly for how hard he hit his head as he said; "What a drag! I can't believe I got beat by such a simple ploy! You must really know Naruto pretty well, if you can think of something that complex, yet so unbearably simple!" giving a slight chuckle in disbelief. Hinata blushed fiercely at the comment, embarrassed at the mention of her knowledge of her Blue-eyed Angel. It was right then that Akamaru whimpered again, reminding them of his presence, and that he was still tied up. Hinata looked up and gasped, having all but forgotten about him, and said; "OH! Sorry Akamaru, be right there!" and pulled a kunai from her pouch, then leaped up to where Akamaru was dangling and sliced the wires! Thus freeing the lovable fur ball, who landed with a thunderous "THUD!" on his paws with Hinata in tow. Akamaru shook himself from head to tail, glad to be finally out of that wire trap, to which he expressed with a loving lick to Hinata's cheek as the Hyuga Princess giggled and said; "You're welcome Akamaru!" and petted him in kind. However, Kiba was not amused, simply for the fact that he had been completely uninformed, so he asked; "Wait! If you guys had a plan, why didn't you let me in on it, don't you guys trust me?!" growling under his breath, not so much about the question, but rather the way Hinata reacted at the comment about Naruto once more. At first Hinata was going to apologize, however Shino was the first to interject, as he replied; "As I said, there was no plan. The clone was just a back-up in case something went wrong, a shield to protect the main objective. As far as where you and Akamaru were concerned, we knew the both of you well enough to know you would do as you always do and provide cover for us, when you were captured we had to act fast or else fail the objective. It's not that we didn't trust you Kiba, when in fact nothing could be further from the truth, as you were a vital part of our strategy." trying to make the Dog-Ninja feel better. However, despite the knowledge of this, Kiba only growled at the fact that Hinata had been flaunting how much she loved Naruto in her own way. The whole damn fight had been based off his victories, his strategies! The fact that they had won by HIS hand was as much of an insult to Kiba as actually losing to him! Unable to bare it, he stormed off back towards town, leaving a whimpering Akamaru as he laid his head down in fear of his master. Seeing the way Akamaru reacted, prompted Hinata to say; "Kiba? Kiba wait!" as she ran after him. Shikamaru turned to Shino and asked; "What was that about?" as he scratched the back of his head. Shino turned to Shikamaru and replied; "I wish I knew." wondering what was on Kiba's mind as well. After about 10 minutes of chasing him, Hinata caught up to Kiba about half a mile from the forest exit, and grabbed him by the arm and asked; "What's wrong Kiba, why are you acting like this?" worried about her friend. However, Hinata wasn't who he wanted to see at the moment, and seeing as Ino had dumped him for the third time just yesterday he was not a happy camper and replied; "I'm fine, just leave me alone!" as he pulled his arm out of her grasp and continued to walk away. This time Hinata walked straight in front of him, not buying his story for a minute and said; "I'm your friend Kiba, you can tell me! Please what is wrong?" pressing her hands against his chest to prove that she wasn't going to budge. Kiba growled for a moment, realizing there was no other choice but to confront her he replied; "Why do you love him so much?! He hardly even looks at you, let alone speaks to you or even says your name unless you're right in front of him! Yet ever since we were kids all you ever said was 'Naruto, Naruto, Naruto' and honestly I'm sick of it! What has he ever done to earn your devotion? OK so he saved the village one time, big deal! Like there weren't others who haven't done that before, what makes him so special!?" his anger and jealousy getting the better of him. Hinata looked stunned, surprised by his outburst, she hadn't expected this. She didn't know what to think, let alone say, so in a tone that matched her expression she said; "K-Kiba…" shocked that he would ask a question like that, and was unsure how to answer it. Just where was this anger for Naruto coming from? With that question in mind she asked; "B-but aren't you and Naruto…" however she was cutoff as the Dog Ninja continued his tirade. Hearing his name again, Kiba snapped as he replied; "…What? Friends? Don't make me laugh! How could I be friends with a guy who treats you like dirt!?" with a fierce glare in his eyes, knowing what Naruto was putting her though, and in turn him. Hinata gasped, as her eyes went wide and her jaw dropped. Furious and mortified at the accusation of her dearest love, she gritted her teeth and quickly came to his defense saying; "Don't ever talk about him like that, Naruto is…" however once again she was cutoff, as the Inuzuka continued once more. Giving a forced laugh, Kiba snidely replied; "…is what? A good, kind man, whom you love and adore? What did he do to deserve that love?! So he inspired you to become stronger, to have faith in yourself, haven't we been doing that since we met you? Honestly I can't see why that runt deserves all this praise for nothing!" he closed his eyes in disgust, thinking he had won the argument, however he was about to find out how sadly mistaken he was. What was once worry and concern, was immediately replaced by rage and furry! Never had Hinata thought she could be so angry at someone, let alone a teammate! However, it was that last comment, that spiteful remark that had been the last straw as she hauled her arm back and slapped him hard as she could across the cheek! Kiba looked stunned, as his eyes were forced open by the blow, he grabbed the cheek she slapped and turned to Hinata who then angrily retorted; "HOW DARE YOU!? You have no idea what it was like for Naruto before the academy, how everyone picked on him and said he was nothing, yet despite all that he still followed his dream! He still believed in himself, and even believed in me, when I didn't even believe in myself! When I was young, I would always get bullied and picked on because of my eyes and for how weak I was, but Naruto came to my defense. He even protected me when he didn't even know me! And I won't have you disrespecting him in front of me!" her eyes held a fury the likes of which Kiba had never seen before, what ever chance he had at gaining her love, he was losing it fast. However, that didn't change his tune, as he foolishly replied; "Oh yeah, well where is your 'Great Defender' now?! Oh wait, I know! Probably off chasing Sakura around, like the little lost puppy he is! Face it, as long as that moron is Sakura bound, he wouldn't give you the time of day if you asked for it!" This only pissed Hinata off completely, as she shoved him as hard as she could, and being a Hyuga that was surprisingly hard as Kiba was flung straight back into a tree that was 30 feet behind him! Plowing into it with a hard, "THUD!", as he grunted from the pain. Kiba looked up in surprise, having never expected that from Hinata, let alone the slap to the face she had given him already! Though her Byakugan wasn't active, he knew she could kick his ass up and down this forest if she wanted, and he wasn't about to give her a reason for it. Hinata closed her eyes and lowered her head, clenching her fists and gritting her teeth, as she tried to hold back the painful tears of anger and jealousy. Even though Kiba was being a complete jerk, and she wanted nothing more than to slug him for it, it didn't stop him from being absolutely right. As long as Naruto was in love with Sakura, Hinata was little more then a ghost to him. And with what she now knew, that sliver of hope that she held onto for so long was growing thin with each second, knowing that she quickly replied; "I know he loves Sakura, I know how foolish it may seem to you, but the fact is I still love him! And as long as there is still a chance, as long as Sakura doesn't accept his love, then I know that if I told him how I feel he will come to love me instead! I know it in my heart, Naruto and I were meant to be, just you wait and see!" she raised her head, her eyes glowing with a fierceness of hope and pride, as she declared her intentions. She turned away from the Dog Ninja, not wanting to look at him any longer, as she turned her head over her shoulder and said; "This discussion, is over! I never want to hear another word of it, understand?!" before she began to walk away. However, Kiba not taking the hint, rose to his feet from leaning against the tree and yelled out as she left; "MARK MY WORDS,THE ONLY THING YOU WILL GET FROM HIM IS HEARTACHE, HE WILL ONLY END UP HURTING YOU! DO YOU HEAR ME!?" however, Hinata neither looked back or said a word, as she Shunshined back to town. Leaving behind a very angry and depressed Kiba, who upon her leaving began sulking for his stupidity. (Note: I tried to find data on whether or not she could use this technique, but turned up nothing, and since I'm pretty sure Naruto used it in the anime I'm guessing any one can use it.)2:25 PM. (5.)
Still fuming from her fall out with Kiba, and hungry having missed lunch due to the four hour drill they had just went through, she decided to head over to Ichiraku for some ramen. And hopefully a run in with her favorite Blond Boy heart throb. As crazy as it may sound, despite the short comings it had, Hinata loved her encounters with Naruto. Seeing him was a rush in it's own rite, she loved the feeling she got when she was around him, it was a like a drug she couldn't or wouldn't get enough of! She loved the way her heart pounded against her ribcage, the shakes and shortness of breath she got when he was close, the way her knees grew weak from the sight of him. If only she could get past that dry throat and that damned stutter of hers, not to mention a certain lack of spine that seems to sprout when she least expects it, she would tell him everything right then and there! Here she was, a vision of Konoha perfection, capable of claiming any boy she could ever want, except for the one she loves! And a vision of perfection she was, for without those baggy clothes she wore, she could even be considered a goddess in her own rite! The Pale-skin Princess sported a body, that would make her the envy of every woman around her, save for Tsunade of course! Though in truth, she despised it entirely. Because of Sakura and her father, her confidence in her beauty was all but shattered, she truly believed she was ugly. That she wasn't worthy of Naruto, much less anybody else. Of course this wasn't true in the slightest, but despite that fact she still couldn't get his attention, why he had come to love that pink-haired, small breasted bitch was beyond her! What it was that he saw in the skank was as complete mystery to her. Just thinking about Sakura boiled her blood, that ungrateful cunt had NO idea how lucky she truly was, to have hoarded his affections for so long! Then again, if she really is in love with him now, maybe she does. The one thing she couldn't fathom though, was why Sakura didn't act on it, seeing as if it were her in the green-eyed Kunoichi's shoes she would've taken him in a heartbeat! Whatever was holding Sakura back, she could only pray that it would last for a little while longer, just long enough for her to tell him how she felt. When she arrived she walked into Ichiraku Ramen, and noticed Ayame was manning the stand, whom of which turned to her and happily said; "Oh Hi Hinata! Welcome to Ichiraku!" in her professional tone with a gracious smile. Teuchi was away on other business, namely setting up plans for further expanding, due to his recent growth in clientele over the past few months. Said clientele having complained about such small seating arrangements, Teuchi decided it was time to get a bigger place, or ate least build on the one they have. Putting on the brightest smile she could, Hinata looked up to Ayame and said in kind; "Hello Ayame…" with a respectful bow as she entered the Ramen stand. She brought a hand to her hopeful heart before asking, "…has Naruto been around?" hoping to see the Blue-eyed boy himself. Ayame quirked an eyebrow, as she smile an all-knowing grin and said; "Still trying huh?" knowing full well what she was up too. Hinata gave a light blush, and a bashful grin as she looked away and replied, "Yeah, still trying. Can you blame me?" as she held her left arm in embarrassment. Ayame gave a light giggle as she answered; "Well considering how long you've been at this, yeah I can! When are you going to buckle down and get that boy in bed already!? Heaven only knows you both need it!" with an amused grin on her face, as she waved her to come in. Hinata and Ayame had grown close over the time that Naruto was a way training with Jiraiya, so much so that Hinata was like the sister Ayame never had, or in Hinata's case, Ayame was more like the sister she always wanted! Even when Ayame was busy with orders and such, she would always find the time to talk to Hinata, and share a few laughs with the lovely Hyuga Heiress. One such occasion was now. She loved teasing the poor girl, mainly about the said subject, as it always got the biggest rise out of her. That light blush of Hinata's soon turned Tomato red at the mention of her intentions, giving her ever adorable 'Meep!" sound, she muttered out; "A-Ayame!" mortified that she would say that out loud. She gave a quick look outside the diner, praying no one actually heard that! The lunch rush had just finished, and since it was still hours away from the dinner rush, the small ramen stand was thankfully empty at the moment. Breathing a relieved sigh, after seeing that no one was coming down the street at the moment, she strolled back inside and up to the counter then took a seat on the center stool. Hearing the Hyuga girl's reaction, Ayame burst into a fit of giggles as she said; "Sorry, I'm just teasing, but seriously you really need to stop being so skittish around him. At this rate you won't even get a foot in the door, much less a kiss from him!" with a comforting smile, trying to encourage her. Hinata shot Ayame a snide glare, she wasn't going to take that one lying down! "Oh yeah? Look who's talking Miss 'I'm Going to Marry Kakashi Hatake'! So how's that working out for you?" she said with a sinister grin on her face, this always shut her up! True to form, Ayame did a mild impersonation of Hinata, as she squeaked slightly and looked away blushing, before throwing up her hands in a submissive manner as she replied; "OK, OK you win!" with a playful pout, to which they both giggled at, before she looked back to Hinata laughing as she said; "No fair, you always use that! You know darn well if I didn't have to work all the time, and if I could pry him away from those books of his I would ask him out!" trying to defend herself, for the last 6 months straight she had been trying to catch a date with her long time crush, however like Hinata at every turn something went wrong. Usually one of two things, either a customer showed up namely Naruto, or Kakashi was too wrapped up in one of his "Make Out!" series books to even notice. Hinata gave another playful giggle, as she replied; "Don't get on my case, I won't get on yours." with a victorious smile, they always had playful bouts like this. Next to Ino, Ayame was the only other person she opened up to. She could be herself here, without the hassles and etiquette of being an Heiress, like Naruto this was her home away from home. Ayame gave a light giggle before answering; "Fair enough. Well, to answer your question, no I haven't, it's strange this is the second day this has happened. But if I know Naruto, chances are he is probably off training 'till he drops, so I probably wouldn't expect him 'till dinner time." with a reassuring smile. "Anyway, what can I get you?" she asked, returning to her professional manner, as she waited for her answer. Upon hearing the long awaited answer, Hinata's head dropped, as it was not the one she was hoping for. "Oh…" she said in response before she replied; "One chicken Ramen please." in a hollowed out tone. She had been looking forward to seeing Naruto, it wasn't so much as a want, but a need to see him. She needed the thrill, the excitement that only he seemed to bring, the rush that she had come to love. After everything she had been through today, it would definitely be welcome. Ayame hadn't noticed it before, but having heard Hinata's tone just now, she could tell something was wrong so she asked; "Are you OK honey, you look like went through hell and back, care to tell me what's wrong?" Ayame often took the big sister roll in moments like this, simply because it seemed natural after all the years of helping to care for Naruto. Because of Naruto's habit for Ramen, and being an orphan, Naruto had spent about 2/3rds of his life in this bar. So in a way she had practically helped raise him. She turned to start the Ramen Hinata had ordered, as she waited for her answer. Hinata just sighed, Kiba's words were still ringing her ears, and what was going on with Sakura only made them more true. She looked away as if she was in deep thought, as she replied; "It's Kiba, we had a bit of a fight earlier, over Naruto of all things. I don't understand, he is never usually like that, but lately he has been acting really strange." as she remembered how he acted at the party and on the mission. As Ayame finished making Hinata's Ramen, she turned and said; "You two had a fight?!" surprised as the Dog Ninja and the Hyuga Heiress were about as close as the two could get without being in a relationship. Walking back to the counter, she laid the Ramen bowl down with a quick; "Here you go!" before coming from behind the counter and sitting next to the Pale-eyed Princess. "Wow, I never imagined you two going at it, come on tell me all about it!" she demanded, sensing the impending gossip. Ayame was as bad as Ino when it came to gossip, so when a juicy story came around, she had to hear it! Hinata politely replied; "Thank you!" when she received her Ramen, she gave a silent prayer and began to eat. She looked towards the Ramen Waitress, and replied; "Sure." Over the course of her Ramen, which was about 20 minutes, she gave a rough explanation of the events that transpired before their meeting. The Drill, how they had beaten Shikamaru and the effect it had on Kiba, up to the point of her fight with him and what was said. At the end of her explanation, she said in closing; "…After that I left him there, and I haven't seen him since." as she watched her surrogate sister's reactions. All the while Ayame sat there in stunned silence, though the parts about how Hinata and Shino had fooled Shikamaru made her laugh, she couldn't believe what she had just heard! Finally finding her long lost voice, Ayame said in reply; "He really said all that?! Wow, no wonder you slammed him into a tree! Remind me to stay on your good side." which caused the Pale-eyed Princess to blush in pride. Which in turn caused both of them to share a giggle, before she continued; "You know what surprises me, is that you can't figure this out for yourself. I would think you of all people you would have more understanding about his actions then anyone." with another teasing smile. Hinata looked slightly confused, so she innocently asked; "What do you mean?" curious of what she was getting at. Ayame giggled again, as she replied; "Come on, it's so obvious, he's jealous of Naruto!" being perfectly blunt. This came as a shock to Hinata, as she had no idea Kiba even felt that way, though after today it was painfully clear he was. But the question still remained. "Jealous of Naruto?! But why?" she asked, still having trouble believing it. Ayame face palmed, as she gave a heavy sigh, it was surprising that a girl as smart as Hinata could be so dense sometimes. So as plainly as she could she replied; "Think about it! Who is the man you are head-over-heels in love with?" trying to get to the heart of the problem. Blushingly, Hinata was forced to answer; "Naruto." unsure of where she was going with this. Ayame nodded, glad that they were on the same page for a moment, then asked; "Who is the guy who beat Kiba in the Chuunin Exams all those years ago?" leading her further into the truth. Again, Hinata was forced to answer; "Naruto." a little more openly. With a big grin on her face, Ayame asked in conclusion; "Alright, so what is the common denominator between them, what is the one-thing that connects them?" knowing what the answer was going to be. That one had Hinata stumped for a moment, then she thought about it, and then her eyes shot wide open as she realized the answer; "ME! You're saying, that Kiba is jealous of Naruto, because of me? But I don't understand why would he…" she paused as she thought this over, and once again the answer hit her like bulldozer, ""…HE'S IN LOVE WITH ME?!" as she came to the conclusion. Ayame shrugged, as if it was the most natural thing in the world, as she said; "It would seem that way. Though why you didn't notice it before now eludes me, after all the two of you are together almost all the time, and as close at the two of you are I would think it would be painfully obvious to you." being point-blank blunt on the subject. Hinata couldn't believe what she was hearing, after all this time how could she not notice? Then again, with her head up in the clouds, and her heart clearly wrapped around Naruto, she could understand why she hadn't. But still that begged one more question as she asked; "But wait, I thought Kiba was dating Ino, why would he be after me if he was dating her?" wondering why the Dog Ninja would even bother with her if he had another girl waiting on him. Again Ayame giggled as she replied; "I wouldn't be so sure of that, according to the Grape Vine Ino dumped him yesterday, though why she did was uncertain. As to why he would be after you, I can think of a few reasons why." she said with a devious smile on her face. Ayame was among the few who saw Hinata as beautiful, and even envied her for it, but she never said so because Hinata was always so bashful she knew that the Blue-haired Kunoichi would just deny it. "Well anyway, if you want to know the specifics of why they broke up, I suggest you ask Ino herself." she concluded, knowing that Ino was just as much of a gossip as she was, she knew she would be more then glad to give an answer. Though the vague answer confused Hinata at first, she decided not to push it, since knowing Ayame she would just ignore the issue. However, at the mention of asking Ino, Hinata suddenly remembered what she had planned to do earlier in the day and said; "OH RIGHT! I was supposed to head over there after training, I'll ask her after I get there, there is something I need her help with." she said as she got up from her seat, and fished out her hand purse. However, Ayame stopped her as she held up her hand and said; "Don't worry about it sweetie, it's on the house, you looked like you needed the comfort after everything you have been through today." with gentle smile. Hinata was surprised for a moment, but then returned the smile with one of her own, as she replied; "Oh thank you!" as she put her purse away. She gave a slight bow in respect, as she turned to leave then called back; "See you later Ayame, bye!" and was out of the bar and on her way. Ayame exited the Ramen Stand and faced Hinata, as she yelled in reply; "See you later Hinata, and take care!" before going back inside after Hinata was well out of sight.(6.)3:25 PM (7.)
It took Hinata a good 20 minutes to run to the Yamanaka Flower shop. The whole way there, she had thought about what Ayame and her were talking about earlier. The fact that Kiba may or may not be in love with her still was a shock, in truth she didn't know how to handle it, she needed the truth. She would have to get it from either Kiba or Ino, but seeing as Kiba was obviously trying to keep it to himself, that left the latter. Until she heard it from the horse's mouth, she decided to put it aside, seeing as she would more then likely deal with that when the time came. It wasn't that she hated Kiba, though right now she wanted nothing to do with him for the stunt he pulled, but in truth she felt she owed him something of an apology, if this turned out to be true. Not that she would forgive him for what he said about Naruto, but for causing him this much pain. As she reached the street the shop was on, she froze as there stood Naruto, leaning against building opposite of the flower shop! Once again her all to familiar jitters kicked in and for the most part she welcomed them, as she blushingly smiled while she stared at the man she loved. Kiba never made her feel like this, to her, Kiba was more like a Big Brother than anything else. Just as she was about to go up and call out his name, she stopped, as he suddenly entered the flower shop. 'That's strange. Why would Naruto go there? He never visits the flower shop.' she thought, wondering why Naruto was even here. Figuring something was up she decided to investigate, as she was heading towards the door of the shop, she paused as she could hear Naruto and what sounded like Ino talking. It was faint, and hard to make out, but she heard Naruto say; "So you're coming back tonight?" Which was followed by Ino replying; "Oh you KNOW I am! Besides, I can't very well just leave those there, it might raise to many questions." which caused her to wonder what they were talking she got to the door it was Naruto who said; "Who says anyone is going to see them?" when she turned into the shop her eyes went wide, as she found Naruto and Ino in each others arms! When Ino leaned in to kiss Naruto, she gasped as their lips met, as she remembered Kiba's words! 'MARK MY WORDS,THE ONLY THING YOU WILL GET FROM HIM IS HEARTACHE, HE WILL ONLY END UP HURTING YOU!'(End Flashback-That took a while didn't it?)
Never in a thousand years would she have thought Kiba would be right, that Ino would betray her like this! After Kurenai-sensei had informed Ino of her affections for Naruto, Ino and Hinata had become close friends. Simply because Ino sympathized with the Hyuga Princess, considering at the time Sakura had wanted nothing to do with Naruto, and having been in a one sided love triangle herself she knew what it was like. Now here she was, sitting in the middle of a field, crying her eyes out because her one-time "friend" stole her beloved! What cruel irony, to find the woman she trusted the most, in the arms of the man of her dreams and kissing him of all things! Her stomach lurched as she remembered the sight, as if she wanted to vomit, the very thought of it made her sick! All at once, her thoughts were consumed with rage and anger, as every ounce of her wanted to kill Ino for this betrayal! "YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS INO, MARK MY WORDS, YOU WILL PAY FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE!" she screamed to herself, declaring open war on the Yamanaka. Not far from where Hinata was resting, Ino was searching the town for the Pale-eyed Princess, having been at all the places she knew Hinata frequented she came to the Third Training ground as a last resort. She had heard from Kiba, that Hinata would often come here, when she needed to get away from it all. That this was the place she treasured the most, if this was true, then she had no doubt she would be here. 'I only pray that I find her before he does!' she thought, knowing that if Kiba did, Kami only knows what he would do to her! That's when she heard the scream, though the words were inaudible, she knew that voice regardless as she exclaimed; "Hinata!" as she rushed to her friend. When she finally found her, she sighed in relief as she called out; "Hinata! Thank Kami I found you!" and started running towards her. Startled, Hinata turned to the source of the voice, and low and behold! There stood the Yamanaka in question, running towards her at fevered pace, little did she know that she was the last person Hinata wanted to see! Instinctively her eyes went into Byakugan mode, as she leaped to her feet and started charging the young Mind Jutsu user, all the while she screamed in a blood curtailing fury; "YOOOOU BIIIIITCCCHH!" and began attacking her with the Eight Trigrams techniques! Immediately Ino stopped dead in her tracks, as the Hyuga Heiress began charging like a raging bull, her eyes wide as she sensed the intent to kill from the Blue-haired Princess. 'Oh FUCK!' she thought as Hinata closed in on her. She barely had enough time to say; "Hinata wait!" before dodging a blow to the throat, the next one was aimed at her chest, just about where he heart should be! The next few shots where aimed at other vital organs, placed variously around her body, and being a medical Ninja it didn't take long to guess what Hinata was tying to do. Having no other options, Ino black flipped away from Hinata as fast as she could, trying desperately to avoid a fatal blow. Having created some distance between then, she caught her breath as she thought; 'She almost took my head off with that! She's not aiming for my chakra points, she's actually aiming for my organs! She's really trying to kill me!' realizing that Hinata really wanted her dead! Not that she could blame her at this point, hell if it were her in Hinata's place, more then likely she would be doing the same thing. After taking a few moments to catch her breath as well, Hinata growled; "GET BACK HERE!" as she ran after Ino a second time, this time throwing a few Chakra Needles in her direction as she did so! Ino gasped when she saw the Chakra Needles coming, and yelled; "SHIT!" as she rolled out of the way, just barely missing them as they passed by! However, there was no time to rest, as Hinata came charging in again. Ino was no fool, taking on Hinata at close range was suicide, and it seemed she had mastered a way to fight at long range as well. Next to Tsunade and Sakura, Hinata was easily one of the most dangerous Kunoichi in the village, and right now she was 115 lbs of raging Hyuga fury! (8.) Because of her blind rage, Hinata seemed to have grown wings for how fast she was moving around the area, so fast was she that Ino barely had any time to move as Hinata came baring down on her with lightning fast Gentle Fist strikes. Not taking any chances, Ino leaped backwards with each attack, staying out of her strike zone. As she was moving, Ino tried to reason with her as she said; "Hinata, please listen to me!" hoping that she would come to her senses. However her cries were in vein, as Hinata just kept coming as she screamed; "SHUT UP! Don't you say one word you slimy slut!" as she continued her assault. Using every trick in her arsenal to take Ino down, from straight up Kunai attacks, to the most advanced Gentle Fist techniques and even some Mixed Taijutsu moves thrown in! Needless to say when she was motivated, Hinata could play a really mean game, and right Now Ino was learning really fast what it meant to be on her shit list as public enemy #1! Realizing this was getting her no where fast, Ino had to think quickly or else Hinata would give her a one-way-trip to Dirt Nap city! 'Shit! At this rate I won't stand a chance, let alone get through to her! Sorry honey, but you leave me no choice!' she thought as she dodged yet another barrage of chakra needles, then waited till Hinata got close and put her hands in a familiar sign as she yelled; "Ninja Art: Mind Destruction Jutsu!" as she fired off the Jutsu. Ino took a few labored breaths, as Hinata came to a halt in front of her as the Jutsu took hold of her. However, wishing to speak with Hinata, Ino allowed the Jutsu to only take control of her body below the neck. (9.) Suddenly Hinata stopped dead in her tracks, as she found herself frozen in place, as she was now under the will of the Jutsu. Despite knowing this, Hinata struggled, as she was growling and flailing her head about as she tried to get free. Realizing it was pointless she screamed in demand; "LET ME GO YOU TWO-FACED CUNT!" her breathing was erratic as she continued to struggle. Tears were still streaming down her cheeks as she fought for control of her body. Though some part of her felt that she deserved that, Ino wasn't about to take that lying down, nor was she willing to give into her demands as she said; "And what?! So you can try to kill me again!? I may be blond, but I'm not that stupid! Besides I need to talk to you, so could you PLEASE let me explain!?" though how she would do that even she didn't know. At this point it was anyone's bet if she would believe her or not, though in truth she wouldn't blame Hinata if she didn't. Immediately Hinata's head whipped to where Ino was now standing, and she snapped; "What's there to explain!? I saw you, I saw you kissing Naruto! HOW COULD YOU!?" trying desperately to hold on to her rage, as her frozen body began to relax as the adrenaline passed through her system. Ino relaxed, as she stood from her Jutsu stance, with the Jutsu firmly in place there was no chance of Hinata breaking free unless Ino ran out of chakra. Having practiced this Jutsu many times over the years, Ino had become very proficient with it, so much so that she could use it without holding the hand sign in place. Trying to take a calming breath, only for it to fail as she exclaimed; "That's what I have been trying to tell you, that wasn't the real Naruto, it was just a clone!" which at the moment had been her best defense, no matter how pathetic it sounded. But once again, Hinata wouldn't hear it, as she hastily replied; "IT DOESN'T MATTER! THE FACT REMAINS THAT YOU KISSED HIM! YOU KISSED HIM! YOU SELFISH WHORE! HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO ME!? I TRUSTED YOU! I THOUGHT YOU WERE MY FRIEND!" as she began to openly weep, no longer having the strength to continue struggling. As much as she hated to admit it, Ino couldn't deny that, and that wasn't even the worst she had done with him! Ino looked away, ashamed at that knowledge, knowing that she had crushed Hinata's hopes. Sakura was one thing, her and Ino had always been at each others throats, but not Hinata. Not someone who stood by her, loved and treated her like a sister, when no one else would have bothered. In her own way, Hinata had become something like family to her, so this was especially hard on Ino as much as it was on Hinata. All at once, Ino began shedding tears of her own, she too saw and loved Hinata like a sister! The one she never had, and hated to see her like this. Placing a regretful hand over her heart, she tried to plead to the sobbing girl by saying; "Oh sweetie, I-I-I'm so…" however she was cut off as soon as the words left her lips. Almost immediately Hinata snapped again as Ino said her pet name for her, and weepingly replied; "DON'T YOU 'SWEETIE" ME YOU BACKSTABBING BITCH! HOW COULD YOU BETRAY ME LIKE THIS!? YOU KNEW I LOVED HIM! You knew how I felt about him, and still you…! Why? WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?! WHY!?" as she hung her head, not wanting to look at her betrayer. Ino didn't know how to answer that, not without revealing her secret, about her mission. How do you tell your best friend, that you were paid to sleep with the man she loves, and that in all honesty you enjoyed every second of it? Even worse when said friend now as every possible rite to kill you where you stand? Answer: VERY carefully. She braced herself, as she came close and said; "Hinata, I am so sorry! Believe me I never wanted this, I never wanted to hurt you, least of all for you to find out this way!" Ino froze as those last words left her mouth, almost immediately she knew they were the wrong thing to say, as Hinata's head shot up like a lightning bolt and her pale Lavender eyes suddenly burned with a renewed Hellfire like fury! 'Oh Kami! Did I really just say that!?' Ino thought, as she looked into those strained, pain ridden eyes, that now seemed to thirst for her blood anew! So much for not being that stupid, she had basically given her every incentive to kill her. Finding her second wind, Hinata began tugging at her body, begging it to move as she tried desperately to reach out and strangle the Yamanaka! How could she say something like that, after everything she had just been through?! Unable to even budge, she turned back to Blond-haired Bitch, and replied; "OH! So you would rather that I be left in the dark, completely oblivious and hoping for a love that would never come, while you're parading around with the man I love in your arms?! Like some trophy you could wave in my face you Heartless Harlot!? You better kill me now, cause the moment this Jutsu ends you're DEAD!" and began struggling once more to see if it was loosening it's hold on her. Ino wanted to object, to say it wasn't true, but the sad part was that is exactly what would have happened. She hung her head, thinking she had been defeated, but then she thought of something. What Hinata had just said, gave her an idea, there was still a way to save this! Still a way to make her forgive her, and a way to help Hinata all at the same time! A lecherous smile graced her face, sure this would make things worse for Hinata at first, but it would be worth it. It seemed that Hinata was under the impression that they were a couple, that they were hopelessly in love. And that was what was going to save them from this nightmare! Her grin turned wicked as she raised her head and said; "You're right. It's true, all of it, I am everything you said I am. But not for the reason you think, in fact, what you saw at the shop was just the tip of the iceberg!" she gave a devious giggle as she waited for the inevitable. 'Bare with me sweetie, cause when this is all over, you thank me for it!' Ino thought as she looked on, knowing what she had planned. Hinata froze as she said those words, and the tone they were spoken in, scared her completely to the core! Still in denial, she asked; "W-what do you mean?!" in a shaky but demanding voice. Keeping with the act, even though she was going to hate herself for it later, she stated; "What do you think I mean? If you think that kiss, if you can even call it that, was the worst we have done…Then boy are you wrong! In fact, Naruto and I have been at LOT closer then that!" giving a teasing, lustful giggle, as she rubbed her stomach just over where her womb would be. Though she wasn't pregnant, it was enough to get the idea to her head, at just what they had been up to. Hinata couldn't believe her ears, she had to be lying, Ino wouldn't be that cruel. Not to her! "You didn't!? Tell me you didn't! TELL ME IT'S NOT TRUE!" she screamed, hoping, begging Ino to tell her it was a lie. Ino allowed Hinata to fall to her knees on the ground, thinking she had been stuck in that pose long enough, as she replied; "I'm afraid it is, and I got to tell you, as far as lovers go…Naruto is the ultimate Diamond in the rough!" giving a lecherous grin as she did so. She REALLY hated doing this to Hinata, Kami if the Hyuga Princess ever learned to forgive her, it would be too soon! Suddenly that urge to puke came back ten-fold, the bitch may as well have pulled her heart out right through her stomach, and the worst part was that she was actually rubbing it into her face! That settled it, this bitch had to die! With all her might, Hinata fought against the Jutsu that now bound her in place, but try as she may it was pointless. As it stood, Ino had a full chakra reserve, while hers was nearly depleted. She knew this much from her Byakugan, meaning that as long as Ino wished it, she wasn't going anywhere. She had to hand it to Ino, of all the tortures that one could encounter in the world, this was the worst by far as only Ino could create something that was worse then death! Once again the Pale-eyed Beauty began to shed crocodile tears as she screamed; "NOOOOOOOO!" feeling the very last ounce of her strength leave her. She looked up to her captor with blood-shot puffy eyes, broken in almost every way known to a man or woman. But still some defiance remained, as she so weakly said; "You two-bit Tramp, damn you to Hell! Isn't it bad enough you stole his heart, but you had to take his purity as well!? You're even worse then Sakura!" To her, Sakura was about as bad as one person could get, the ultimate disdain! As cruel as it may sound, anything the Akatsuki could do to Naruto, would be merciful in comparison to what she did to him! For her to call someone worse then Sakura, was about as evil as one person could get! Though she hadn't meant to, the moment Hinata mentioned Naruto's "purity", Ino was thrown into a fit of laughter. Not mocking laughter, but actual full-hearted laughter, but it was when she mentioned Sakura that she stopped. "I'm sorry Hinata, but I think you will find that his 'Purity' is very well intact, in fact I would venture to say there was very little 'purity' to begin with! As for being worse then Sakura, now isn't that being a little unfair, considering at least with me you still have a chance?" she asked with a devious smile, as if egging the Hyuga girl on. As expected, the once steel-hardened Hyuga girl's expression softened, as surprise and confusion set in to place. Unable to resist the curiosity that she had been stricken with, she asked; "W-what? What are you talking about?" stunned at this change in demeanor, as Ino practically changed before her eyes. She was once again, the sweet, soft-hearted girl she had come to know again. Ino lightly giggled, if in lecherous way, knowing what was to come. "Honestly, don't you think you were jumping to conclusions? The way you were talking, I would swear you thought we were engaged or something! When actually, Naruto and I are little more then "Friends with Benefits" at the moment, very good benefits I might add!" she paused as she blushed lightly, knowing how good the man she had been with really was. She kneeled down to be eye level with the Blue-heard Kunoichi, as she continued into her Apology. "I'm sorry I had to put you through that, but it was the only way I knew how to calm you down in that state. As I said before, I really didn't mean to hurt you, and in truth I never wanted to! Even though technically we are rivals now, I could never try to hurt you on purpose, you're my friend Hinata and I treasure that more then you will ever know!" she concluded, this time with a genuine friendly smile. For certain reasons she wouldn't remove the Jutsu, not until she was sure Hinata was back to normal, well as normal as a heart-broken teenage Kunoichi can be at this point. Hearing what kind of relationship Ino and Naruto had still put a sour taste in her mouth, though she blushed at the mention of the kinds of benefits they shared, but as long as she was in this Jutsu she was forced to listen. However, when she mentioned never wanting to hurt her, it made her curious and so she asked; "I don't understand, if you didn't want to hurt me, then why sleep with the man I love!? Why not just stick a Kunai in my back and be done with it? Then you had to go and rub it in my face when you were found out! That was cold Ino, colder then you will ever know!" turning her head away, not wanting to look at her blond captor. Ino sigh deeply, she knew all to well how much that had hurt Hinata, as it hurt her to do it to her. Unable to hold herself back any longer, she leaned forward and forcefully hugged the Hyuga girl, as she began to weep apologies into her shoulder; "I'm so, so sorry! I know that must have been hell, but it was either that or either one of us die! I'm sorry I didn't tell you, and I'm sorry you had to find out that way, but believe me when I say I never wanted you to suffer like this! I can understand if you don't forgive me, in truth I don't deserve it, but please don't hate Naruto for this! This was my fault not his. Hate me if you must, but please don't take it out on him." hoping that she would burden this guilt alone. Ino pulled back as she waited for her reply, searching her eyes with baited breath for some sign of forgiveness. Ino's request stunned Hinata, for someone who was only "friends with benefits" with Naruto, she sure seemed quick to defend him... Which begged her to question just how deep that relationship really went? Seeing that she was waiting for some sort of reply, Hinata looked away, as she thought about what to say; "I could never hate Naruto, he's too precious to me. You on the other hand I'm not so sure, why did you put me through this, why lead me on like that? If you knew how much I loved him, and what he means to me, then why torment me like that?!" she wondered, as she turned back to the Kunoichi responsible. Again there was no real easy way to answer this, as Ino turned away as well, while she collected her thoughts. The reason being, that as simple as the method was, it was also extremely drastic! One miscalculation, and Hinata could have gone off the deep end for sure! Still she had the rite to know, she deserved to know! "It's hard to explain, sometimes the mind is like a sword, when it breaks there is no real way to repair it. The only thing we can do is, pick up the pieces, melt it down and build it back up from scratch…" she paused there, realizing that Hinata had no clue what she was talking about, and therefore decided to continue on with her explanation, "…the Yamanaka are known for our advanced understanding of the mind, it is for that reason and our skill in Mind Manipulation Jutsus, that most of our clan serves in the Information and Interrogation Corp. When you saw us together, your heart broke thinking I had stolen the man you love, and because of it your mind shattered as well. When you saw me, you went into a frenzy, I was forced to defend my self! So I had to bind you. I tried to reason with you, but you were so distraught over in what happened at the shop, you wouldn't even listen. The only way to save you, and myself, was to try and break you down completely. So you would lose the will to fight, and listen to reason. And the only way that would happen, is if you heard the truth, the one thing you didn't want to hear." She stopped there, as she turned her head, knowing this part would be the hardest on her. "What I said about me an Naruto, that was true, every word of it. I know that isn't what you want to hear, but you have to believe me, I never wanted this to happen. I never wanted to hurt you like this, and I'm sorry it turned out this way. I know I was cruel to you just now, but it was the only way to get through to you, and believe me I hated every second of it!" she said in conclusion, as more tears began to fall from her cheeks. Her admission to what and she and Naruto did still hurt her deeply, though in a way Hinata could understand what she was saying, but that didn't mean she forgave her for it. "That may be true, but it doesn't change the fact of what you did! I never thought in a million years, that you would be the one I had to worry about stealing Naruto, even if you are what you say you are. But that begs to question, why tell me all this? Seeing as next to Sakura, I am your biggest competition." she said, giving away one of her bigger secrets in the process. The part about Sakura caught her attention, it made Ino wonder how she knew about Sakura's affections for Naruto as well. She turned to Hinata with a look of surprised, and mischief firmly in place, as she asked; "Wait, you know about Sakura too? SO that's the reason you were at the shop isn't it?" a wicked smile laced her lips anew, she could almost hear it coming. Hinata's eyes shot open at the first question, she knew! She knew about Sakura and didn't tell her! "You knew! You knew about Sakura being in love with him, and you didn't tell me?!" she said in an annoyed tone, at this point any anger she could muster felt weakened by comparison. Great, just one more thing to hate her for! Ino sheepishly giggled, knowing that was suppose to be a secret, and so she had no choice but to explain now. "Well I didn't know 'till before the party yesterday, so I honestly couldn't tell you if I didn't know, now could I? But anyway, as for your question, it's because you deserve to know." she said with an honest look in her sky-blue eyes. Hinata hated to admit, but at least where Sakura was concerned she had a point, no reason to cry over spilled milk. "True, I guess I can't fault you for that. And Yes, that's why I was there today, I wanted to ask for your help. But that doesn't mean your off the hook, if you think I'm going to forgive you for sleeping with Naruto, think again!" she replied, trying to at least keep some part of her anger intact. Ino couldn't help but giggle at that, at this point her anger was more cute then it was terrifying. Still she had to do something to make amends, and she could think of only ONE thing that would make her truly happy. She laced her arms around Hinata, as a Cheshire grin spread from her lips. You could just tell she was up to something. "Awww…" she cooed playfully, "…you hurt me, and here I am trying to make you feel better. I would think you should be thanking me, since my being with him helps you as well. I pried him away from the woman you hate the most, which means he is less likely to reject you now, if you catch my drift." that grin of hers grew wider with each sentence. At first Hinata blushed lightly from the closeness, but by the time Ino was finished speaking she was donning a very bright shade of red as she stuttered; "W-what a-are y-you s-saying?" her embarrassment catching up with her fast from the implications. Ino lustfully giggled, before she leaned in closer, and whispered; "I'm saying, that I did you a HUGE favor, in more ways then one. What I said about Naruto, wasn't a lie either, you would be surprised at how talented he is! But I get the feeling you would rather learn for yourself, wouldn't you? Well guess what sweetie, today's the day you find out!" she pulled back as that sexy smile of hers grow as her eyes glinted with a hint of lust, not for Hinata but for what Hinata was about to experience. Suddenly that bright red blush of Hinata's turned Venetian Red in a heart beat! Swallowing a massive gulp, as she felt he throat go dry in an instant, she had to force herself to say; "You-you don't mean…?" she couldn't even finish the sentence, as her heart was pounding like Humming Bird wings, it was so loud she could hear the blood rushing in her veins! 'She couldn't possibly…she wouldn't really…would she?' she thought, her mind suddenly going completely blank, as if it was trying to avoid the answer. Ino gave a sexy little wink as if to confirm Hinata's suspicions, as she said; "That's right! I'm going to give you exactly what you want, the thing you have craved most for so long, one HOT night with one Naruto Uzumaki!" though Ino's face was that a temptress, warm and alluring, and so full of promise. Inside she was trembling, for reasons she couldn't fathom, her heart was quivering at the idea! She was afraid, she knew this day would come, yet she despised it so. She didn't think it would come this soon, the day she would have to give him up, she wanted to have him for a little longer. To hold him, to kiss him and feel his warmth. She lied, he was so much more to her then that now, he was her savior! Her own personal saint! With out him, she didn't think she could live! She didn't want to give him up, she couldn't, yet she knew she had to. She owed Hinata that much, she deserved the love that she had been denied for so long. But what did that mean for her? Did she truly love him as Hinata had? Some part of her wanted it to be true, in fact her very being told her she did, had she truly come to love the boy in question? It didn't matter now, she knew that after tonight, he wouldn't give her a second thought. He would be Hinata's, to Sakura's disdain of course, but that would be the only good thing to come of it. Despite all that she felt, her face never betrayed her emotions, all these years of sexual encounters taught her how to hid her feelings. Bury them deep, so that they never come out again. Hinata's eyes went wide when Ino said those words and her breath caught in her throat, the thought of kissing Naruto was enough to make her faint, but to actually sleep with him?! To give him her most precious gift, the embodiment of her Heart and Soul, to give him her virginity and all her love seemed more like a dream. This was everything she ever waited for, the chance to tell him everything, the chance to show him how much she loved him. Her eyes danced with the images in her head, of her and Naruto, arm and arm kissing as he and Ino had been. She could almost feel his lips on hers already, but was this really true, would Ino truly give her thought? "You're serious!? You really mean it?! But, but why? I thought.." she trailed off, as she remembered how tenderly Ino held the clone, she knew there was more going on than what Ino was telling her. If what Ino said about Naruto was true, why give him away like this, why not keep him for herself? Se got her answer rather quickly as Ino slightly giggled in a seductive manner, then said; "Like I said, me and Naruto are just "friends with benefits", meaning that he is more than available. Besides, believe it or not and I can't believe I'm going to say this out loud, but Naruto…may be more then I can handle alone. So do you still hate me?" with a teasing smile at the end. Hinata scoffed, hate her? She didn't know whether to kill the bitch or kiss her! A tough choice on either part. But still, that last part struck her as odd, so she asked; "Alone? WAIT! You're not saying what I think your saying, are you?!" knowing exactly what she was up to. Once again, Ino gave that tantalizing giggle, that pretty much confirmed what she had in mind. "Well of course! You're definitely going to want me at your side sweetie, Naruto is gifted but not experienced, least of all with virgins. And when I say gifted, I mean extremely gifted. When I said I couldn't handle him alone, I meant it. Simply put, as much energy as he puts into training, he can put into other things as well. Namely, Sex! I got to tell you sweetie, I have had a LOT of lovers in the past, but NONE of them had his stamina! So you're going to need my help before the night is out. So what do you say, Truce?" she asked, hoping to put aside there differences, after all they were friends despite the situation they were in. Unfortunately that pill was hard to swallow for Hinata, one part of her still wanted to make the Yamanaka suffer for the stunt she just pulled, while the other side couldn't thank her enough. Add to the fact that said blond was forcing her way into her night of Passion with Naruto, didn't exactly win her any brownie points with the Hyuga Heiress, but the fact was she had a hell of a point. On her own, nothing would happen, more then likely she would faint before she even got that far. She couldn't breath around him, much less say a damn word! And if what she said about Naruto was true, then facts were that she would need all the help she could get, she knew how hard he could train and if Sex with him was just as rigorous then she would be in for a long night! She had to admit, Ino drove a hard bargain, but how often did the chances like this come around? With a regretful sigh, she replied; "Truce. But don't think I forgive you just yet! Now can you let me out of this thing already!? I'm starting to cramp here!" feeling the muscles in her body beginning to ache from being in the sitting position for so long. That comment forced a joyous laugh out of Ino, she was glad to have her friend back, so much so that she reached up and kissed Hinata on the forehead causing the Blue-haired Kunoichi to blush a deep crimson red. "OK, but not just yet, I need to know what I'm working with here." she said with a mischievous smile on her lips as she stood up. That statement confused Hinata for a moment, so she asked; "What's that suppose to mean?" with a suspicious look on her face. Sometimes she copied Naruto a little to much, as her face now matched his questioning glare he used so often. Seeing the said face, Ino couldn't help but burst into laughter, reminded of the person it belonged to, clearly she had it pretty bad if she could even make his facial expressions. Once she calmed down, she began to explain; "You did say you were going to ask for my help didn't you? Well honestly, you don't think you can seduce him dressed like that do you? If you're going to give Naruto your ''special gift'' for him, then I think he deserves to see you in something a little sexier then long-baggy pant's and an over-sized coat don't you think?" she paused, as Hinata reluctantly nodded and waited for her to continue, "So we're going clothes shopping, and considering the nature of the clothes were buying, I think it would be a good idea to know your measurements." she gave a playful grin at the last part, as she looked at Hinata's Jacket. Though in all honesty she had no where to talk, seeing as she first seduced him in her Ninja gear herself. But at least by comparison her out fit was much more flattering! Following Ino's gaze, she looked at her out fit, then she thought about it and her eyes shot wide open as she looked up and gawked at her Blond-haired blue-eyed counter part. As she realized exactly what she was up to, she stated; "You cant be serious! Not here!" mortified at what Ino was going to do. Ino sort of frowned, showing how serious she was, as she replied; "Honey, the best I have seen you in was that Kimono at the party, and that thing was big enough to hide a circus in! If you want any chance of getting Naruto in the sack, then you have got to start showing some skin! Since I know next to nothing of what your body looks like, I need to see what lies under that coat, cause I guarantee you what you will be wearing, will be a whole lot more revealing then this! If you want to get over that shyness, your going to have to have a little more faith in your body, and this is the best way I know. So it's either shed the clothes here, or show the goodies off in public, your choice!" that last part was just a ruse, she would never force Hinata to strip in public, that would be a whole other level of cruel. But it was a necessary evil at this point, she needed Hinata to shed that shell, especially if she was to take her place. To say Hinata hated the idea would be a world-class understatement, she absolutely despised it! But once again, Ino had proven just how good she was at negotiating with an enemy, as she was forced to admit she had a point. If she couldn't even trust herself with Ino, what chance did she have with Naruto? Giving a lamented sigh, she rolled her eyes and said; "OK you win. Just, can we do this somewhere…less open? You and Naruto are one thing, the last thing I need is someone starting a peepshow out of this." her voice rather low and shaky, she really didn't want to do this but as long as she was under the Jutsu, the option wasn't hers. Ino nodded, she could understand that much since they were in a training area, and a rather busy one for the Genin and Chuunin of the village no less. The one where she and Naruto had spent their magical day in was much less used, unless someone really had to cut loose the way Naruto did, here however wasn't the case so she happy agreed saying; "Ok, follow me!" as she commanded the Jutsu to make Hinata get on her feet and follow her deeper into the forest surrounding the area. About a half a mile in they stopped, certain that they were not followed or spotted, and completely isolated as the area around them was easily the densest part of the forest where very few came this far. It was now 4:24, the sun was just low enough to cast a warm light through the forest, and plenty to see by. The sounds of the forest echoed around them, as if all of nature was watching them closely, as the stood under a tall Hickory tree. Ino turned to Hinata, who wouldn't blush any redder if she tried, you would swear every drop of blood in her body had gone to her head! Realizing she was tense, Ino decided to come close and pet her cheek, as she said; "Relax sweetie, it's just me, no one is around to see this I swear! This is something you are going to have to get use to, especially if you want to be with Naruto. You trust me, don't you?" trying to calm her down. Not exactly the wisest question at the moment, seeing as not even 2 hours ago she trusted her with her life, only to find out she was sleeping with her crush. Right now, Trust was a hard thing to come by for Hinata. But then again, she would do just about anything and everything for Naruto. Hinata took a few calming breaths, gave a nod and said; "For now, yes." with a slightly anxious tone. It wasn't exactly what she wanted to hear, but it was a start as Ino smiled sweetly and replied; "OK. Well then, time for the unveiling," and stepped away, allowing the Jutsu to do the work for her. Hinata whimpered as her arms began to move against her will, and she closed her eyes in embarrassment, Ino would be the first to see her outside of her normal or formal garb since her mother died. And with what little confidence she had in her body, she could only pray this would be over quickly. 'This is so humiliating, but if it's for Naruto, then I will do anything!' she thought, as she felt her hands reach her zipper, it was the moment of truth. From here on out, there was no turning back, and Ino wasn't about to let her either! Ino stood in excited silence, she had never seen Hinata without her Jacket, so this was a historic event in its own rite! Slowly the zipper began to part the seams of the ever sealed jacket, and when it reached the middle of her chest, Ino saw the first hint of her bosom and was surprised to see that the further down the zipper went the bigger they got! When at last the zipper was free of its track, Hinata's arms reached up and pulled her body free of the jacket that had long imprisoned it. With it over, Hinata opened her eyes, and asked; "Well, are we done?" hoping it was over. Oh how wrong she was… Though Ino got the hit of the size, the baggy fishnet covered more then half of Hinata's body, making it very difficult to judge. She slightly growled, as she thought, 'Sorry sweetie but this has got to go as well!' then gave a hefty sigh as she said; "Afraid not sweetie, looks like were going to have to go to the bare minimum, lose the pants and fishnet as well." in a demanding voice, to which the Jutsu replied. Hinata gasped at the command, knowing what was to come, but before she could protest her hands continued to undress her starting with her pants. Leaving only her panties on, the hands immediately went to work on the fishnet. The whole time, Hinata had been whimpering, embarrassed wasn't even in the same field as to what she was feeling! All she could do was stand there and watch, as her body was laid bare for the world to see. When at last the fishnet was gone, Ino gasped in shock as the rest of Hinata's form came into view, causing her to exclaim; "H-HOLY KAMI!" she couldn't believe her eyes, in terms of beauty, Hinata was EASILY a match for Anko, and a Damn good close for Tsunade! Hinata had a slender waist with flat firm abs, a curvaceous hipline that bled into a full yet equally firm ass, held up by a pair of tall lean sexy legs that would make any man shiver if he saw them! All of which was crowned by no less then a 34 DD-cup bust! Which was now barely supported by a clearly undersized Lavender colored bra that was barely a 33 D at best! No doubt intended to hold back the immense mounds, and make them appear smaller, for what reason Kami only knows! Immediately Ino got on her case, as she walked up to her and said; "Good grief Hinata! What did you eat growing up?!" wondering how the young Hyuga Heiress could have obtained such a body. "I don't understand, what could possibly possess you to hide such a beautiful body?" she asked, confused as to why she would go to such lengths to cover up. It seemed Hinata and Naruto had a lot more in common then she originally thought. This surprised Hinata, having never considered her figure anything other then a burden because of Sakura's influence on Naruto, she would have rather been thinner framed then this. But to be called "Beautiful"?! That was something that seemed unthinkable, so naturally she asked; "Y-y-you think I'm beautiful? You really mean it?" with a deep blush on her face, this was something new for her, not even her own father saw her for her beauty! No, that prudent shrew was so worked up over her strength and skill in the Gentle Fist form, he didn't even think twice about her looks! And it didn't help that half if not most of the village thought she was strange because of how she reacted around Naruto. Ino's Jaw dropped at the question, did this girl even own a mirror! She scoffed as she said; "Are you KIDDING!? Do you know many girls would KILL to have a body like this?! Let me tell you sister, I'M one of them!" blinking in disbelief. Ino was no slouch when it came to looks, as she had taken much pride in her form early on, but compared to Hinata she may as well be a toddler! Ino's admission stunned Hinata, as she had always admired Ino for her looks, but to think that the reverse would be true never even crossed her mind! Once more that ever present blush returned even brighter then before, as it now a Cardinal red, as she stated; "Wow, and here I thought I was ugly. You would really kill for a body like mine?" unable to believe what Ino said was true. If Ino's jaw dropped any further it would fall out of place, was this girl for real?! With a disbelieving giggled, Ino replied; "Ugly!? Honey, if this is what you call 'ugly' I can't even imagine what you would call "beautiful'! And of course I would, you're a fucking bombshell! But still I have to know, why would you hide this? If you hadn't, getting Naruto to notice you wouldn't be half as difficult as it has been! Hell, I'd bet my last Ryo that Sakura would be absolutely jealous of you!" knowing for fact that that her Pink-haired Counter-part would be crushed if she did. Sakura always had a hang-up about her under developed body, believing that she was inferior to Ino due to her decently robust figure. Sakura rounded out to about a 32 B-cup, which wasn't to bad, but compared to Tsunade and Ino's was rather depressing for her. That blush never left her face, though now it was more out of pride then embarrassment, as Hinata smiled in the knowledge that Sakura would be envious of her. Remembering Ino's question from before, and the one just now, she felt that the Blond Kunoichi deserved an answer. "Well, to be honest, the reason is because I thought Naruto liked small-breasts, like Sakura. And when my body grew out, I thought he would hate me if he saw how big they got." she said honestly, feeling rather silly for being so embarrassed over it. Ino blinked for a second, completely stunned at what Hinata just revealed, before she burst into laughter, could this girl be any more clueless!? When she finally calmed down she looked back towards the nearly-naked Hyuga girl before her and said; "Well sweetie, let me be the first to tell you, you had him all wrong! In fact I know for certain that he LOVES big breasts, hell he couldn't leave his hands of mine! I guarantee you that if he saw this, he would be all over you like a fresh bowl of Ramen!" she gave a small giggle as she said that last part. Hinata's eyes went wide in shock, as she gasped, she couldn't believe she had been so wrong! All this time she could have had Naruto all to herself, and she never even knew! There was HOPE, her body wasn't a curse as she had come to believe, but a gift! A gift, that if what Ino said was true, would help her claim the love of the man she had adored! He wouldn't reject her, but embrace her, make her feel wanted and welcomed! For the first time in her life, real confidence began to build in her heart, and pride welled up in her soul! Ino had single handedly rebuilt the confidence that Sakura had all but shattered in her, and tears began to fill her eyes, not of fear or depression but true Joy! Unable to hold them back, she weepingly asked; "Really?! Do you mean it? Naruto would love me? He wouldn't think I'm ugly?" praying that it was all true. Ino gave a joyous giggle, it was working, Hinata was finally coming into her own! Finally accepting herself as something other then a burden, a useless lump of flesh that had no purpose in life, finally believing she was worth something to the world again! She just needed that last push, and she would finally break the wall that she had set between herself and the rest of the world. And Ino would provide just that, as she replied; "Honey, I'll be damned if he doesn't marry you!" knowing that's exactly what she wanted to her, which in all honesty wouldn't be the furthest thing from the truth if how he reacted to her was any indication. At the mention of Naruto marrying her, Hinata's eyes lit up like candles, as images of their wedding filled her mind and the tears began to free fall once more! Never again would she hide this precious gift of hers, and with it she would make Naruto Uzumaki hers at last! Unable to control her self, Hinata cried out; "Oh thank you Ino, thank you so much! I'm so happy, I don't know what to say!" between sniffles, with a huge smile laced well upon her lips. Ino breathed a deep sigh of relief, Hinata had forgiven her at last, and she even had helped Hinata find the confidence she had lacked for so long. That alone was a small victory in it's own right, she smiled happily as well as she replied; "Your welcome sweetie, you absolutely welcome!" but one thing still bugged Ino, the fact that Hinata would wear such a small bra as opposed to her real size. Not wanting to destroy the bra in question, she went behind Hinata herself and undid the clasps, and pulled the bra off Hinata's shoulders. Using the Jutsu to move her arms so the bra could fall free. In front, Hinata gasped at the sudden release of the extremely tight bra, as her breasts sprang forth from the confines in which they had been trapped in and bounced delicately back into their robust shape. Normally Hinata would be embarrassed for showing off her body, even with her new found respect for it, but for the moment she was just glad to be out of the item in question. 'Wow, that actually feels better, why did I even put up with that?' she thought, regretting ever buying that thing in the first place. When the bra was gone, Ino moved back around to looked the mostly naked Hyuga girl in all her glory. Smiling at the view, she said in a lustful tone; "That's better! Wow, that bra was really holding you back wasn't it? I'm surprised you have this much buoyancy, most times when you wear a bra that size with a bust this big it either snaps, or your breasts become misshapen. But yours seem to be in perfect form!" she said as she reached out and cupped one of the mounds in question, which were soft and supple, yet firm and buoyant as it rolled around in Ino's hand. As soon as Ino grabbed her breast, Hinata froze, as a tingling sensation ripped through her body. Which forced her to ask; "W-what are you doing?!" wondering why Ino would do such a thing. That lustful smile returned swiftly, as Ino replied; "Taking your measurements silly, and doing a quick checkup, to see if your body is responsive. A bra that tight can do some serious damage to your nerves and glands. I want to make sure your body is working the way it should, no point in getting you all dressed up, if you can't feel any thing Naruto does to you huh?" then she began to fondle both of Hinata's breasts at once, turning and churning them, giving a light squeeze every now and then. Nothing that Naruto himself wouldn't do. Tough one could argue that she was enjoying it a little too much. As Ino began to gyrate her breasts, Hinata had to bite her lower lip to keep from moaning out, even with her body under the Jutsu's control it still reacted to the sexual impulses running though it. Twitching every second or so from the stimulation she was under, her breathing became ragged and shallow, her heart and pulse thundered as the blood rushed in her veins. She could feel her hands and legs shaking from the small pleasure she was feeling, as small whimpers escaped her throat from the touches Ino was giving, forcing herself to fight through it she asked; "Are your sure this is a checkup? It doesn't feel like it to me." she gritted her teeth, as a particularly sharp moan tried to escape, which only came out as a loud whimper on account of her mouth closing shut. Ino's grin widened, as she replied; "Relax sweetie, I'm a Medical Ninja remember, I know what I'm doing. This is a breast massage to help relieve the stress in the tissue, and test the firmness and buoyancy. I'm surprised, your nerves seem to be working just fine, and your glands seem to be in fair condition. Now then, on to the next part of the exam." then let go of Hinata's breasts and began teasing her nipples, gliding her thumbs over them slightly as the small peeks began to rise from their sleep. Almost immediately after Ino began, Hinata gave a sharp gasp as a new level of pleasure ripped through her and her head began to violently shake, as if she was fighting to keep her sanity! All the while she was giving a series of heavy whimpers and labored breaths, as she struggled to keep from moaning. Almost instantly Ino stopped, surprised at the sudden reaction, so she was inclined to ask; "Wow, your nipples are really sensitive aren't they?! Does that feel good Hinata?" before Hinata could answer, Ino began pinching them lightly, rolling the erect nubs between her thumbs and index fingers. This time Hinata couldn't hold back, as she was forced scream her confirmation; "OOOOH…AHHHH! YES! It hurts, but It feels so good!" from then on it was nothing but pants and moans, as Ino continued to play with her taut tits. Ino gave a lustful laugh, her plan was working, little by little the Hyuga Heiress was forgetting herself in the pleasure and soon wouldn't think twice about being naked in a field much less a bed with Naruto in it. The only way to shed Hinata of her shyness was to completely absolve her of her personal image, to make her leave behind the dainty princess and unleash the sex-hungry tigress that lay within, to bring her down to Ino's level. With a hint of seduction laced in her eyes, she playfully cooed; "I'm surprised, you know most girls with this size breasts have very little sensitivity, you must have been doing something to keep them this responsive. You've been playing with your self haven't you? Probably when your all alone in the mansion, or when your off bathing on a mission, thinking Naruto while you're gone right?" her voice laced with sexual tension, as she began to pull on the now fully engorged teats in her hands. Pulling yet another whorish moan from the Blue-haired Kunoichi. She was beginning to like doing this as much as Hinata seemed to like having it done to her. Though a part of her wanted to deny Ino's claim, to say that she never had, she couldn't as the sudden pull from Ino's skill full hands tore yet another wanton scream; "AHHHHHH! YEESSS!" followed by a few more lust driven moans before she replied; "Yes, ooooh…once or twice, sometimes I can't seem to stop, when ever I think about him I lose control OOOOH!" just then Ino decided to do a relatively nasty "Pinch and Twist" maneuver on both of nipples, leaving the howling Hyuga Heiress writhing in both pain and pleasure. Whether or not this was an exam didn't matter to Hinata anymore, all that mattered to her now was the feeling Ino's actions brought, and her sudden desire for more of it. Ino's lecherous smile grew wicked and devious, as she gave a rather sexy giggle and said; "Liar! You would have to do it at least 3-4 times a day to be this sensitive, now tell the truth or I'll stop all together!" as if to back up her warning, she immediately stopped her ministrations, with only her fingers rolling her nipples to keep her interested. It was an underhanded tactic, true, but an effective one as it never failed thus far. When ever she needed something from one of her other lovers, namely the ones with sensitive nipples, she would tease them until they gave in and did what she asked. Of course for the ones that didn't, a hand job or two was more then enough to seal the deal. As if on cue, Hinata's eyes shot open having been closed to relish in the pleasure, and panic filled them quickly at the loss of the Medic's playful teasing. Having become all but addicted to the feeling, Hinata began panting heavily from wanting more as she pleaded; "No! Please don't stop! Yes, it's true! I do it as often as I can, is that so wrong? Please give me more! I want to feel more!" wishing now more then ever that her body was hers once more. With that in mind, she activated the Byakugan once more, just to see how much chakra remained in the Blond Kunoichi. It seemed that the Jutsu she was under was a rather taxing one, as Ino's chakra was nearly gone, about another 24 minutes left. Unfortunately for her, that's 23 and ½ minutes longer then she could stand! At first Ino was shocked, she didn't think Hinata could sound so sultry, yet here she was sounding like a bitch in heat! For some reason she found it extremely erotic! "Wow, Hinata! You little slut you, I never took you for the type to get so worked up so easily! Don't worry, in this case it's actually a good thing, considering who your going to be with you should count it as a blessing." she replied; giving Hinata one last combination of "Pull, Twist and Pinch' before letting go, and allowing her breasts to bounce back into place. Hinata cried out in both Agony and Ecstasy as Ino did that final combination, though it wasn't enough to make her orgasm, it brought her damn close as her breathing became extremely erratic and her body shook as the pleasure still tore through it. Ino smiled proudly at the young Hyuga Princess, she no longer saw the beautiful young girl from before, but the sexy and provocative woman she was becoming. But she couldn't stop here, this was only the tip of the iceberg, and Naruto would do so much worse to this girl. Deciding to go further with her "conditioning" Ino sweetly said; "Alright, time for the next part!" and began to reach a hand down to Hinata's now quivering snatch. Hinata gasped when she heard those words, then looked down to where Ino's hand was moving, suddenly the fear and panic came rushing back as she tried to beg; "Ino, wait! Please, N-OOOOOH!" but her cries came to late, as Ino pressed her fingers directly on her incredibly swollen clit, and began stroking it lightly causing her pleasure to return with renewed vigor! This time Hinata wasted no time indulging in the incredible sensations running through her, as her head fell back and whipped about back and forth like fish swimming in a river. Allowing each moan to pass freely and loudly as the shockwaves of rapture tore through her body with such intensity. This part hadn't surprised Ino in the least, seeing as with everything Hinata just went through, she would be more surprised if Hinata wasn't soaked to the bone! But that didn't stop her from teasing Hinata about it as she leaned in and whispered; "Wow sweetie, you're sopping wet down here, your panties are completely drenched! And here you were trashing me this whole time, and yet you're just as much of a horny slut as I am, I bet you can't wait to get Naruto inside you!" with a lecherous giggle at the end, she knew she would regret it later, but for now she was milking it for all it was worth! Though her whimpers and moans, Hinata could barely form two words, let alone a full sentence, but despite that she fought of the pleasure to defend her honor as she replied; "Th-ahhh-that's not true!" while Ino's skilled hands left her on the verge of Orgasm the whole time, causing her head to flail about wildly, as she gave her a few fierce strokes on her clit. Ino's playful giggle returned with a vengeance, she wasn't fooled for a second, as said with a sultry tone; "Liar! When are you going to stop lying to yourself? The sooner you accept it, the easier it will be to seduce Naruto…" not waiting for her immediate response, Ino removed her hand from her friends dripping crotch, then reached up and pulled down the last remaining barrier she had, as her panties were pulled completely free from her body. Ino stayed in a crouching position, clearly she had something in mind, as Hinata's body suddenly began to shift to her will, with about 10 more minutes of Chakra left, she was going to use the Jutsu for as long as she could. Hearing Ino's words froze Hinata in place as her eyes went wide once more at the prospect, but before she could wrap her mind around it, Ino began to shift again as she suddenly stopped her ministrations, then pulled her now soggy panties from her body, leaving her completely bare save for her sandals. To her surprise Ino remained where she now rested, as she kneeled on the ground like she was waiting for something, then without warning Hinata's body began to move again as she leaned back against the nearest tree which was about half a foot away then raised her leg for a perfect view of her womanhood! When Hinata's leg came to rest on Ino's shoulder, Hinata knew she was up to something, so she demanded; "What are you doing now?!" wondering what her intentions where this time. Ino looked up to the newly nude and slightly embarrassed Hinata, this was the final step, the last phase. Once this was over, Hinata wouldn't think twice about her looks, or her confidence ever again! She smiled and spoke in very professional tone, as she explained; "This is the last part of the exam, I need to see what your Hymen looks like, to ensure that your experience won't be too painful the first time around. Believe me sweetie, the last thing you want to do I find out to late you have an Imperforate or a Cribriform Hymen, in either case it will be very painful." though what she said was true, it was only part of it, as she had other plans as well. Though Hinata was suspicious of her actions, she couldn't argue Ino's logic, better to know ahead of time then find out the hard way. Reluctantly she was forced to admit defeat, as she sighed and said; "Very well, but please make it quick, I'm embarrassed enough all ready." which was confirmed by the overly bright red blush she was now sporting, though she had found the experience enjoyable, it still felt weird to her for a girl to do that to her. Though her eyes didn't expose it, Ino thought, 'Sucker!' as she turned back to the quivering pussy that hovered in front of her and pulled the lips aside. True to her word, Ino did discover Hinata's Hymen shape, and gave a please smile then turned back to the anxious girl in question and replied; "Looks like yours is a Cresentic Hymen, which is actually pretty good, it seems intact as well cause I don't see any damage to it. I take it then you didn't play much with this did you? Saving your self for Naruto were you?" she gave a teasing laugh when she said that, 'At the rate she was going, she would be waiting till next century till that happened!' she thought, knowing that if things had gone the way they should, she would never had a chance before long. Hinata was too embarrassed to answer, so she just nodded in agreement. Ino couldn't help but giggle at the response, for a girl who was begging her for pleasure not even 10 minutes ago, she sure seemed quick to reclaim her shy side! It wouldn't last for long, as Ino gave a wicked smile as she said; "Man you are loyal aren't you? You're pretty lucky, I had a Microperforate one my self, Kami did that hurt! Any way, time to see what type it is!" then took her index finger and lightly rubbed the exterior wall of the Hymen. Almost instantly after she did, Hinata seemed to gasp and moan once more, as the newest and Highest level of pleasure sent sparks of electricity right through her spine, nearly crippling her as she began to pant like a bitch in heat once again. The action was not lost on Ino, who took note with a devious smile, her hymen was extremely sensitive something she knew would make this all the more pleasurable and painful for the blooming virgin Princess. "Judging by the texture of the skin, I would say it's a soft Hymen, meaning it will break fairly easy. One good thrust and you should be home free, now for the next part, the grip test." she said with a toothy grin, though Hinata tried to protest, her voice was cut short as Ino gently and carefully inserted her middle finger inside her friends exposed pussy. Hinata's mind suddenly went blank, void of all thought at the strange sensation, the others she had experienced before but this was entirely new to her! It was as Ino said, she had never gone that far, having feared damaging the aforementioned membrane and wished to save herself for Naruto. But feeling the blond Kunoichi's delicate touch inside her, forced her head back as she let out a deafening scream in ecstasy; "OOOH GODSS!" her breath becoming short and ragged as she panted furiously at the heightened pleasure coursing through her. Suddenly she was regretting waiting so long for this, as her whole body shivered from head-to-toe, and she became feverishly hot! Once more her pussy began to flood itself all over again, as it begged her for release. Struggling to retain her sanity, Hinata looked down and weepingly begged; "Ino, don't please! I-I-I cant take it!" warning the Medic Ninja that she was close. Despite the Hyuga girl's pleas, Ino's devilish smile only grew at hearing the desperation in her voice, giving yet another promiscuous giggle she playfully said; "My-my, for someone who isn't a slut, you sure got turned on real fast! Relax sweetie, it will be over soon. Now, I want you to squeeze my finger as hard as you can ok?" and waited for her reply. Despite the deliberate insult, Hinata nodded and did as told, when she did she whimpered as she could feel Ino's finger all the more prominently as it was hugged by her insides. Ino for the most part was impressed from the level of strength she possessed, as the quivering snatch before her gripped her finger like a vice, threatening to rip her finger completely off if she tried to move it! "Oh wow, you're really tight aren't you?! Oh Naruto is really going to love you, especially if you get this wet just from a little fingering, you must really be aching to cum! Ok, one last thing…" she said with a devious glint in her eye, as she suddenly began rubbing the inside of Hinata's pussy very gently, careful not to damage the delicate tissue surrounding her finger. Hinata only needed one more push, that last good shove before she gave in, and then she would be ready. All she needed to do, was coax it out of her. Hinata's fevered whimpers and moans came flooding back as her pussy was subjected to the new stimulation, being entered was one thing, but being played with shot the intensity of the pleasure as high as the Himalayas! Barely able to catch her breath, she whimpered out; "W-w-what are you doing!? P-p-please n-no-oooh!" as Ino's finger wiggled inside her, teasing her sensitive walls and causing her to writhe in euphoric delight! Ino watched Hinata's reactions with teasing eyes, as she continued her administrations, giving a sultry giggle at the question she replied; "…Searching for your G-spot, you see Naruto loves eating pussy as much as he does eating Ramen, and he has a neat little trick he does with his tongue, and once he finds that spot he uses it to send you into a frenzy! I would know, and since I don't want you missing out, I want to see how close or far it is inside you. Though I doubt he will do it to you on your first time, he will more then likely do it some time after, so better to know a head of time." remembering how Naruto practically devoured her snatch when on their first time, the mere thought of that still made her shiver in pleasure! Since the area further back was giving no reply, she slowly began moving toward the opening, until at last she got a reaction! 'Bingo!' she thought, as she felt Hinata's pulsing quim grip her finger once more, signifying that she had found it! When Ino mentioned Naruto eating pussy, it had surprised Hinata to the point of her asking; "Really?" but the question died quickly as her mind was flooded with images of Naruto taking his talented tongue to her snatch, licking and stroking every inch of her pulsing pussy and bringing her to a long overdue orgasm! Just as that last image came to mind, Ino suddenly hit a very sensitive spot that sent her reeling, as her head flung back and she screamed to the heavens; "HOOOOOLY SHIIIIIIT!" it seemed Ino had found her mark, as she began stroking it softly, teasing it ever so lightly, thankfully Hinata had somehow staved back the ever looming climax, if only barely as her head could easily be mistaken for a blender for how fast it was whipping around! Ino was surprised that Hinata's G-spot was so easy to find, even more shocking, was that it was roughly located at the same place hers was! Which only proved how much alike they really were. Now that the "exam" was over, Ino was free to do as she wished, and with a seductive smile followed by an equally sexy giggle Ino delightedly teased her saying; "Oh you liked that did you? Well then, your going to LOVE this!" as she began to tease Hinata's clit outright with the other hand, twirling and pinching it between her thumb and index finger before flicking it with her thumb over and over again, while her finger still gracefully played with her G-spot. It was all out war now, either Hinata gave in, or she would lose her mind before it was over! Hinata's sultry moans only intensified to deafening loudness, her whimpers becoming incredibly frantic, as her body convulsed unable to take the assault it was now under! She was completely at Ino's mercy, try as she might the pleasure was too much for her, so she gathered what wits of hers remained and begged with all her might; "W-Wait! Ino, please! Wait, please! I-I-I can't, I can't t-take anymore! Please I beg you!" praying that the Yamanaka would show compassion. Despite hearing the quivering girl's cries, she made no attempt to cease her actions, and actually increased their rhythm as she asked; "They why fight it? Why not embrace it? Why hold it back after so long?" her voice was full of tantalizing promise with each word, then suddenly she leaned forward and blew cold air on the already swollen and irritated clit to further Hinata's excitement. Hinata screamed wordlessly as the air passed over her raging clit, her mind trying it's damnedest to suppress her body's impulses as well as the impending orgasm, finding a second wind from the onslaught of pleasure Ino was inducing she replied; "B-be-because…I-I-I want Naruto…to-to be the one…to…." however he sentence was cut short as a second wave hit her as she was forced into moans and screams of delight. It's not that she hated what was being done, she just didn't want to ruin what was to come, she wanted Naruto fist and foremost! Even though the sentence wasn't completed, Ino heard her loud and clear, but made no effort to stop and continued to assault Hinata's senses with her teasing as she said; "I know sweetie, and he will, but first I want to hear you say it. I want to hear what you want, what you crave most, I want you to tell me what you are!" then without warning she used what remaining chakra she had left to pull Hinata closer to her, and then reached up and latched onto one of her exposed nipples, sucking on it with all her might! Teasing it with her tongue as she rolled it around in her mouth. If this didn't do the trick nothing will! Hinata was confused for a moment when Ino said that, and asked; "W-what?" before her body leaned forward of it's own volition and Ino began sucking on her teat like a new born babe, forcing yet another violent scream from her because of the combined pleasures. In that new state of rapture, Hinata's mind suddenly began to wonder, as she remembered Ino's words from before. Knowing now what she wanted to hear, there was no more reason to deny it, Ino was right the pleasure was all she wanted. And most of all, she wanted Naruto to give it to her! Letting go of whatever inhibitions left, she pulled her head back and screamed openly; "YES! YES! It's TRUE! I'm a horny little Slut! A cock-hungry Bitch who wants to be fucked! Oh YESS!" from then on that was all she chanted, no longer holding back from the need for her release, she openly indulged in the pleasure Ino was giving her. The Jutsu finally gave way as Ino's chakra was spent, but instead of lashing out as one would think, Hinata willingly placed a hand on Ino's shoulder to brace herself, while the other began to loosely cup the Yamanaka's head as a mother would hold a nursing baby. Pulling her closer so she could brace herself against the tree once more, as her legs no longer had the strength to stand on their own any longer. Ino was surprised, not by the admission, but the actions Hinata took when the Jutsu fell. Up to this point she had feared Hinata would strike her at first chance she got, but to her surprise, Hinata had instead willingly embraced her and drew her closer as she was swallowed by the pleasure! At that moment, pride filled her heart and soul, Hinata had been reborn but there was one last part before she could call it a day. She pulled her head back and faintly whispered; "Tell me, who is it that you want? Who is it that you want inside you?" thought she knew the answer, Hinata had to say it, she needed to say it for her own good. It wasn't just her desire, it was her goal, her very reason for all of this! When she finally admitted what she truly wanted, then she would be ready! Already feeling the loss of the suction, she looked down to Ino as she continued panting wordless moans, not hesitating for a second she immediately replied; "Naruto, I want Naruto! I want him so bad, I need him inside me! Please, take me to him, I need him now! Please, Ino, PLEASE TAKE ME TO HIM!" as the words left her lips, tears began to well up in her eyes, as if to personify her desperation. Ino's once devious and wicked smile, turned soft and nurturing as tears of joy filled her eyes as well, and a sense of pride washed over her. She had done it, Hinata was a child no more, but a full-grown woman! Ready to embrace her true self, to take what she desired, to walk tall and proud in herself! 'Atta girl Hinata! You're finally ready!' she thought as she stopped her hand movements, which blissfully silenced the moaning Hyuga Heiress. "All in good time sweetie, but first, I think we should go back and get ready for the big night." she said happily, then gently and carefully removed the now soggy digit from her friend's equally drenched snatch, making sure her hymen was unharmed in the process. Then got to her feet and stretched out from the stiffness of their activities. You can only stay in one position for so long before your body starts to pay for it, and this case was no exception as Ino found she could barely move! Though a large part of this, she had no doubt, was due to the lack of chakra in her system. Thankfully she had just enough to get around with, though the Jutsu had consumed a great deal of it, she was at least smart enough to spare some for the events to come. Hinata gave another quaking moan as Ino's finger brushed her Hymen on the way out of her saturated crevice. Her strength drained by Ino's teasing, Hinata slid to the ground, finding her legs had gone limp beneath her. There she sat for a while, her heart felt like it was pounding in her ears for how loud it was and her breath was heavy, as she came down from the adrenaline. She looked towards Ino with glassy and hooded eyes, then one last pulse of pleasure forced her to shiver as she said; "Wow, that was intense!" giving a few more labored breaths, as she wondered if sex was anything like that. Of course this made Ino laugh before she replied; "I'm glad you liked it, because believe me sweetie, it only gets better from here! Now hurry up and get dressed, we got a long night ahead of us." giving the blue-haired Kunoichi a wink, promising more to come. Hinata's eyes went wide when she heard that. 'Better?! Is that even possible?!' she thought as she wondered just how good Naruto really was. However, Ino telling her to get dressed pulled her from he thoughts, as she replied; "Oh right!" and got up to get dressed, but finding standing to be difficult because of how tired she was. Still she managed, and one by one she gathered her clothes and started to put them on. However, Ino stopped her when she reached the bra, and said; "Hold it! Leave that here, believe me you won't be needed it anymore!" reminding Hinata the whole reason for doing this. Hinata looked back to Ino for a second, as if she was debating on what she was going to do, then she asked in a firm tone; "Can hand me a Kunai?" as she held out her left hand. Ino looked rather perplexed, but responded any way saying; "Sure." and threw her a Kunai from her pouch. Hinata caught the Kunai with ease, and then suddenly she swiped the Kunai and slashed the bra in half! This of course confused Ino who asked; "Huh, what did you do that for?" wondering why she would do something like that. Hinata had to think about it for a second, then she turned back and replied; "So I can let go. Of my fears, and of my shame. So I can be the woman I need to be, for the one I love." with a fierce determination in her eyes. Ino couldn't respond, only stand there awestruck, looking at Hinata with a gentle knowing smile and gave a nod. She could see a strength in Hinata that she had not known before, a confidence that seemed to outshine even the sun it self, she knew this was the strength of Hinata's heart. The true essence of her soul, the proof of her conviction, her devotion and love for Naruto. 'Wow, she really is beautiful! I wonder, if I could ever love some one, they way she loves him.' she thought as she looked way, feeling the depression seeping in, she knew what was to come. That this was her LAST night with Naruto. 'If I am to hand him over to somebody, I'm glad it's you.' she thought, as she gave the Hyuga girl one last look. "Ok, well then hurry up, the shop closes in less an hour, and we still need to get what you're going to wear tonight!" she said with a cheerful tone, trying to hide the sadness that seemed to loom inside her. However, Hinata still had one more thing on her mind, and so she said; "Wait! Before we go I have to ask you something…" she paused as she waited for the Yamanaka's response. This caught Ino by surprise, and so she replied; "Sure, what is it?" wondering what was on Hinata's mind. Hinata had to think cautiously, as she laced on her still wet panties, and then asked; "It's about Kiba. Is it true, that you dumped him, for Naruto?" she only assumed the last part, seeing how happy she looked back at the shop it seemed to make sense. Ino gasped when she asked that, it wasn't what she expected, but still something she knew was unavoidable. With a heavy sigh, she replied; "You heard about that huh?" knowing Hinata wasn't going to like this. It was Hinata's turn to look shocked, as she replied; "Well, I kind of had a fight with Kiba earlier, and then I went to Ichiraku's. Ayame told me that you dumped Kiba again, but she couldn't figure out why." this wasn't the whole truth, but only a part of what she wanted to ask. Ino gave a nod as to confirm her suspicions, and swiftly replied; "Yes it's true, I dumped him, but for a lot more reasons then Naruto. He was just the frosting on the cake, very good and sweet frosting, but frosting none the less. To put it short sweetie, the guy was a creep, one I am glad to say I will never go back to!" but at the same time she thought, 'Even though I'm losing the man I want.' as she looked away. Letting her curiosity get the better of her, Hinata was forced to ask; "Really, why? What reasons?" wondering if there was more to her teammate then she knew about. Ino scoffed as she turned back to Hinata, with a evil grin on her face, she was about to blow his secret wide open! "Well for starters sweetie, he was a lousy boyfriend, he never took me on dates unless they involved sex in some way or another! The only time he came around was when he was itching for a quick fuck, and to top it all off, he was just sleeping with me to live out his fantasies with another girl! Can you believe that?!" she answered, glad to finally have that off her shoulders. Hinata was surprised to say the least, she never expected this of Kiba, but the biggest shock was what Ino said in closing which had confirmed her fears. "So it's true! He is in love with me isn't he!?" she asked, getting to the heart of the problem. Ino was shocked, she hadn't even mentioned that to anyone, so how could she know? "H-How do you know about that?" she asked in confusion. Hinata gave a light blush, as she replied; "Well, to be honest Ayame figured it out. You see, its like this…" from there she began to explain what happened between her and Kiba, about the fight that she had with him. By the time she was done, Ino was laughing so hard she could barely breath. To think all this time she thought Kiba would be able to force himself on Hinata, when she just proved how ill-founded those fears really were, the bastard got what he deserved and then some! "Wow, what a moron! To actually blow his cover right in front of you, and they said Naruto was dumb, that was a whole new level of stupid!" she said, before she continued laughing. Hinata, however, didn't share her sentiment as she thought this was serious and so she replied; "Well what should I do? I love Naruto, but I don't want to hurt Kiba as well." by this time she had all her clothes on, save for the bra, though she didn't want to wear the baggy clothes any longer, they were her only option at this point. Ino stopped laughing and gave Hinata a strange look, was this really that hard a of question? "Believe me sweetie, the first choice is definitely the best one! Simply put, Kiba is LOUSY in bed, and I mean pathetically so! What's worse, is that he is a controlling, snobbish slob who only thinks of himself! Believe me sister, I would know, it's actually sad that before Naruto he was actually the best I had! And that's being Generous! Take it from me sweetie, your way better off with Naruto then you ever would be with Kiba, I can guarantee you that Naruto will at least show you the affection you deserve." she said, trying to put the Hyuga girl's mind at ease. 'Not to mention he's got to biggest dick I have ever seen!' she thought, though she would keep that secret for later tonight. Hinata blushed fiercely, having learned more about her teammate then she had planned, or even wanted to for that matter! "I just can't believe Kiba was like that, I mean I had no idea!" she said in surprise, having had no clue what the Inuzuka was like behind closed doors. Ino giggled one last time, this didn't surprise her in the least, still she replied; "Believe me sweetie, you spend time with someone long enough outside of a mission, and you start to see a whole new side to him!" she gave an all to friendly smile as she then said; "Come on, we better get going, we still got a lot of work to do!" giving Hinata her biggest grin she could give. Hinata giggled as well, as she replied; "Right!" and with that they were off to the stores, so that they could prepare for the night ahead.(Back at Training Area 15, 5:41 P.M.)
Naruto and Tenten were having it out in a 1-on-1 duel, to truly test his skill with the Tiger Claws. Having demolished all but 30 of his clones, Tenten decided that it was time to try something else as none of the clones seemed to challenge him any more, so she wanted to take him on herself. Knowing that Naruto was as much of a natural at Taijutsu as Lee and Neji, and her skills in the category were questionable at best, Tenten opted for the long-distance approach. Since at the moment Naruto's Tiger Claws could shred through solid steal, no point in stepping into a fight you know you cant win. At first, Tenten started by throwing Senbons, seeing as they were the hardest to detect. However, Naruto quickly deflected them, using the back of his Gauntlets like they were shields. Not taking any chances, Naruto decided to get close as quickly as possible, however he was cut off as a Crossbow bolt came flying at him forcing him to dodge but he still kept coming! 'He dodged it!?' she thought, as Tenten immediately dropped the crossbow and ran to grab a Kasari that one of the Clones had dropped, and quickly threw it at Naruto with blinding speed! However, Naruto quickly span around, mimicking the girl from the water fall he saw 2 years go and swiped the Kasari with a back hand throwing it off course, where it stuck into the tree that Kiba had been occupying. Tenten gasped thinking, 'H-how did he do that?!' as so far no one had ever pulled a move like that, let alone dodged three of her weapons in a row! She was beginning to wonder just what Naruto was capable of? Realizing that Naruto was too much for such lame attacks, Tenten got serious, and pulled out her 2 scrolls, then laid them on the ground and after a few hand signs she yelled; "Rising Twin Dragons: Control!" after which the scrolls launched themselves into the air with Tenten not far behind! Naruto stopped for a moment, and looked up then said; "OH CRAP!" recognizing the Jutsu from the Three-tails fight, he wasted no time running for cover ducking behind one of the trees close by. As he was running, Tenten began firing off her weapons, barely missing him as he carefully dodged them until he finally reached the tree! At this point, Tenten began using the Exploding Kunai, in an attempt to flush him out as she scattered them behind the tree line! Seeing the attacks, went wide eyed as he thought, 'DAMMIT!' and began running as fast as he could towards the remaining Taijutsu posts, just in time before the Kunai exploded! Tenten was no where near finished, as she quickly began firing more random weapons, chasing Naruto all the way to the post. Once there, Naruto had to think fast, he needed to make Tenten drop her guard! That's when he saw the Crater that Moegi had made with her fight with Konohamaru, and then he got an idea! Moving fast, he ran for the crater, with Tenten's weapons right behind him the whole way. When he finally reached the crater, he stabbed one of his claws into the biggest piece of stone he could find, then lifted it up with all his might and used it as a shield for the incoming attacks! Tenten couldn't believe her eyes when Naruto lifted that boulder, which she emphasized as she said; "NO WAY!" knowing that the boulder it self must weight at least 90 lbs alone! "Just what the hell is he?!" she asked to no one in particular, unfortunately the Jutsu was running out of weapons rather fast, so she decided to descend and summoned a Fuuma Shuriken then with a quick spin she unfolded it and flung it at Naruto! Almost immediately after Tenten's Jutsu ended Naruto dropped the boulder and began charging Tenten once more, however as he did he saw the Fuuma Shuriken flying at straight at him, thinking fast Naruto leaped into the air and closed the distance quickly between him and Tenten! "GOT YAH NOW!" he yelled, as he came down on her with his claws drawn back! Seeing Naruto come at her, Tenten's eyes went wide a she screamed; "OH SHIT!" and leaped out of the way just as Naruto landed. When he did, Naruto cracked the ground into a massive crater because of the speed he was moving, which caused portions of the earth to fly into the air slightly. Recovering quickly from the impact, Naruto grabbed one of the boulders from the air with his claw and hurled it towards Tenten with all his might! "TAKE THIS!" he shouted as the boulder left the claw. Unfortunately for Tenten there wasn't enough time to dodge the oncoming boulder, so quickly she grabbed her main scroll and unrolled it, then activating the seal she shouted; "Summoning Art: Iron Wall Defense Jutsu!" and suddenly she was encased in a massive Iron Wall, just in time for the boulder to smash right into it! 'That was close! Another second and that thing would have flatten me! At least Naruto can't in here, this thing could stop Choji's Human Boulder dead cold, no way he could…' however Tenten's thoughts were put on hold, as Naruto made it clear how determined he was, as she could hear his claws scraping on the Iron Wall outside! Outside Naruto was striking the Iron wall with everything he had, pouring as much chakra into the blades of his Claws as they could hold, tearing the wall down inch by inch! "If you think this will stop me, you're dead wrong!" he shouted, as he continued to hammer away at the wall. Tenten looked on with shock, as she could hear the metal tearing from within, signifying that Naruto was actually making his way through her barrier! "NO WAY! It's just not possible! No body could break through this barrier, not even Lee with his Chakra gates open!" she said in disbelief, and yet still he came as one of the claws not only broke the wall but pierced right through it with a strong right Jab after which he sliced deep into the metal shredding it with ease! Tenten looked on in Horror, as her greatest defense was stripped down right before her very eyes! "Oh no!" she whispered, unable to believe what she was seeing, she was trapped! 'If Naruto can cut his way through this, what else can he do!?' she thought feeling helpless, it wouldn't be long before Naruto had cut an opening into the Iron Wall, something that up until now no one has ever done before! Left with no choice, she grabbed one of her scrolls and set up the trap. In a matter of minutes, Naruto had slashed a wide opening into the wall, big enough for light to come into. "Knock KNOCK!" he said, as he kicked in the makeshift doorway, which landed with metallic "THUD!" on the ground. However, when Naruto entered the wall his eyes went wide, as he realized he had walked right into a trap! Tenten grinned, believing she had caught Naruto off guard, as she said; "My turn! Dragon Flame BOMB!" suddenly a massive flame dragon came from the scroll and hurled it self straight at Naruto! As he saw the dragon heading for him, Naruto thought; 'OH FUCK!' as he began to think of a way out of this. With mere seconds to spare, Naruto did the only thing he could think of, he waited until the last possible moment then leaped into the air. Using the claws to cling to the roof of the Iron Dome that surrounded them, he narrowly escaped the dragon as it flew right under him and landed outside of the dome exploding on contact! Of course Tenten hadn't seen this, and fearing Naruto was hurt or worse, she ran out side crying; "Naruto..? NARUTO!" trying to get him to respond. However, her response was Naruto falling from the dome, and landing right behind her as he grabbed her waist from behind while pointing his remaining claw at her neckline. He chuckled as he chimed; "Looks like I win!" grinning from ear to ear as he did so. Tenten gasped as Naruto grabbed her, but hearing the hum of the chakra in the claw was all the convincing she needed to prove that she had lost. With her scrolls all but depleted, and not wising to use her most lethal Jutsu on him, not to mention she was trapped in his arms she was forced to admit defeat as she said; "Yeah, you win…" sounding slightly depressed, the reason being that she had hoped to at least knock the man who beat the love of her life down a few notches. As Naruto let her go, he could hear the tone in her voice, so naturally being the good friend that he was he asked; "Huh, what's wrong Tenten? If your mad about the Iron Wall, I swear I will pay for the damages my self." trying to reassure her he would take responsibility. Tenten looked at him confused for a second, although glad he made the offer, she had to admit that wasn't was on her mind as she replied; "Oh, that's not it. It's just…well I was hoping I would be more of a challenge for you, yet I didn't even leave a scratch let alone slow you down." turning her head, not wanting to look at him. This shocked Naruto who blinked for a second then said in kind; "Hey, don't sell yourself short! You had me on the run for awhile there, if anything you definitely kept me on my toes, if I didn't jump when I did I'm pretty sure that dragon would have fried me for sure!" trying to cheer her up. Tenten blushed sheepishly, as she was forced to admit; "Well, truthfully that was a bad move on my part. I was so caught up in the moment, I didn't think that the resulting explosion could have killed us both, having forgotten about the enclosed space we were in. I thought that when you saw the dragon, you would run away and try to divert it somehow. When I thought you were caught in the blast, I realized how stupid that move was, and I thought you were seriously hurt! I'm sorry!" she bowed in apology, to express her regret. "Though I have to give you credit, what you did to that wall was unheard of, I didn't even think it possible until now! The next time I visit Asuma-sensei's grave, I'll have to tell him how well you mastered his Jutsu." she said in a joking manner, showing a little more respect for the Genin before her. Naruto chuckled, acting as if it never happened as he replied; "Ah don't worry about it, besides I'm fine see? And thanks, though I have to admit it wasn't easy getting through that, remind me to compliment your dad on his craftsmanship when I next visit your place!" he gave another chuckle, which they both shared. Tenten had to admit, she was impressed with the way Naruto handled himself in that situation, she doubted even Neji or Lee would have thought of something like that. She smiled as she thought, 'It's amazing how he mastered those weapons in such a short time, I thought Neji was a genius, but Naruto sure surprised me! Maybe he was just a late bloomer?' wondering if Naruto had always been this gifted. Looking up to the Blond Genin, she happily giggled as she said; "Thanks, Ill be sure to do that!" she then turned to the battle field, the Iron Wall had already disappeared by then, but a lot of her weapons still remained and she groaned as she griped; "Ah man, it's going to take forever to gather all these!" even though Tenten could control the weapons as they were being used, she had no such ability once they had landed. So unfortunately she had to gather them by hand, meaning it would take about half-an-hour to gather them by herself with how many she used. Of course, Naruto being the helpful person that he is, happily chuckled as he replied; "Relax, I got this! Just sit back and let me take care of it!" as he unbound his hands from the gauntlets and sealed them back into his own scroll. Once that was done, he did his usual hand sign and shouted; "Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu!" and summoned about 50 clones to help gather the assorted weapons. Unfortunately the exploded Kunai were basically shrapnel at this point, so there was no point in trying to reclaim them. Giving an impressed grin, Tenten set her hands at her hips as she stated; "You know, it never fails to amaze me how you can man so many of those, I would figure you would be wiped clean of chakra by now." surprised that he was still standing after everything he had been doing today. Naruto gave an embarrassed chuckle, since Tenten knew nothing about the Kyuubi or how it was sealed inside Naruto, it came as no surprise that she was curious about his condition. Being as honest as he could, without giving away his secret, he replied; "Well, according to Kakashi-sensei, my Chakra Coils are about four times as strong as his are. And since he can fire off just about any Jutsu imaginable I would say that is a lot!" having no real knowledge as to how much Chakra Kakashi really had. This definitely impressed Tenten though, as she gasped in disbelief, which showed on her face as she said; "Seriously?! WHOA! No wonder you had so much trouble learning the Clone Jutsu, with that much chakra coursing through you it would be difficult to control it all! Guess that explains why you could make that many clones, fight using the Flying Swallow Jutsu, and still have plenty of chakra to spare for more clones. Wish I had even half as much chakra as you do, Kami only knows how strong I would be if I did." praising him a little more then what she should. It was Naruto's turn to blush and chuckle sheepishly, if Tenten know half of what that entailed, she would think twice about it. Being stuck with this stupid Fox was a curse he wouldn't wish even on his worst enemy! Though, he had to admit it did have it's advantages, namely the accelerated healing as well as the over abundance of Chakra. But the pain of being at this things mercy was more then he could bare, let alone the misery it caused him in his early years, it almost made him wish his Dad had chose someone else to bear the burden. Not wanting to dwell on that thought, or even the current conversation for that matter, he quickly tried to dismiss himself as he replied; "Uh…thanks! Listen, it's getting late. I should probably head home and get something to eat, when the clones get done just tell them to disperse and they will know what to do, Ok see you later Tenten and thanks again!" with that he turned around and left for home. Tenten stood there for a moment looking confused, but quickly waved as he left saying; "OK see you later Naruto, and your welcome!" Before turning back to the field of clones that were gathering her weapons. Across the field, Kiba had been watching very closely, and was surprised to hear what had been revealed to him. 'He has FOUR TIMES as much Chakra as Kakashi-sensei!? No wonder he is so strong!' he thought, now wondering of making him his enemy was such a good idea? Though Kiba had a lot of reasons to fear Naruto, this newest one only cemented them as he began to realize just how powerful Naruto really was! Realizing the late hour as well, he decided to head home himself, as a Dog who is late to the dinner table was left with only scraps. Such was true for his home as well, and so he left as quietly as he could as to not to be discovered.(Meanwhile)
Across town at Naruto's place, Hinata and Ino were putting the final touches on Hinata's make-up, as she was getting ready for her big night. Though Hinata had said she wasn't ashamed of her body anymore, she was still quite nervous about Naruto seeing her like this. This was pronounced by the amount of fidgeting she was doing with her hands and fingers. It wasn't so much the embarrassment of showing herself off that bugged her, she just hoped she didn't make a fool of herself as she always did. Ino could sense that she was slightly worried, so she kindly whispered to her; "Relax sweetie, I know your nervous, but I will be right here the whole time. I promise you he won't reject you." trying to reassure her that everything was ok. Despite this knowledge, Hinata could relax, so she replied; "I know that. It's just…well…what if I faint again? What if I mess up, and he doesn't like me? I don't want to embarrass myself like that again!" as her breathing began to escalate. She was beginning to panic, the first time always scares you, even when you are dead-set on doing it. Ino quickly put down the make-up brush, then cupped Hinata's cheeks firmly in her hands, stoking them lightly with her thumbs as she said; "That's what I'm here for sweetie, to make sure that doesn't happen! Honey, you're going to have to learn that there is a difference between thinking about it, and doing it. I promise I will be there every step of the way, to help guide you through it, what you don't know I will teach you. Naruto will do the rest by himself, your body knows what it wants just listen to it and it will be that much easier." giving a gentle smile to keep her calm. Though Hinata wasn't so sure, as her eyes darted away for a second, before tuning back as she nodded and said; "OK!" trying to sound determined. It was right about then that they heard Naruto come into the door way. The both turned their heads towards the direction of the sound, then back to each other. This was it, the moment of truth, Ino gave a questioning look to Hinata who gave a nod in return stating that she was ready and quickly darted out the bedroom patio door, where she waited for Ino's signal. Despite every reassurance she could ever get from Ino, she still found herself getting those old familiar shakes, but only now they seemed like earthquakes in comparison. Ino herself was the first to go out into the kitchen, where she had no doubt Naruto would be considering the late hour of which he returned, to greet the Blond jinchuuriki with a very pleasant surprise…After leaving Tenten at the Training Area, Naruto decided to pay her old man a visit to reimburse Tenten for the damages done to her equipment. Needles to say, Tenma was surprised to hear what happened to the Iron Wall, but no where near as surprised as he was when Naruto said he would pay for the damages in full. To even further the shock on his face, Naruto had even written a check for the full sum of the repairs, which was a hefty sum of 1,200,000 Ryo! When Tenma asked where Naruto had gotten the money for this, Naruto went with the story that Tsunade had told him and said that it was a late birthday gift from Pervy-Sage. Suffice to say the blacksmith was stunned to learn that Naruto knew Jiraiya, and was his student. After paying the bill, he remembered to give his compliment on Tenma's skills as a blacksmith, and then left. Once he got home, Naruto's only thoughts, were Food, Shower and Bed. Little did he know, that the Latter would come a lot sooner then he thought. When he entered the Kitchen, he gave a long weary stretch, as he decided which of the leftover meals he wanted to eat. When suddenly he heard the Kitchen door close behind him, sensing another presence, he turned to see who it was. "Ino!" he said to his surprise, having all but forgotten she was coming over.
Ino smiled devilishly, making her intentions known as she seductively said; "Hey handsome!" giving a playful giggle as she did so. Naruto found himself blushing once again, not so much at the compliment, but what Ino was wearing! Ino was dressed in a black-satin robe, that went all the way to her hips, which loosely framed a new black flower-print see-though lace bra with matching lace bikini-panties that hugged her hipline tightly. Instead of the usual ponytail, her hair was down and done in a large braid that went to the middle of her back. Her lips bore a deep crimson shade of lipstick, as her eyes were shadowed by a Dark shade of Purple that made her Sky-blue eyes seem brighter in comparison. All in all she looked absolutely stunning, which begged him to question; "Hey yourself beautiful! Is there a special occasion I don't know about?" seeing as to his knowledge there wasn't anything special planned today. Unfortunately for her it was, not only was it Hinata's big night, but also the night she was to say good-bye. But rather then tell him that, she came close and wrapped her arms around his neck saying; "Just wanted to give you a 'Welcome Home' surprise!" giving a lewd giggle as she lied through her teeth. Deep down she was in more pain then she ever thought possible, which begged her to wonder if she truly was in love with him, because there was no way in hell this would hurt half as bad if she wasn't. Aside from the usual lust, her face showed no emotion, no tears were shed. She gave no indication, that she was suffering, that she was letting him go. Something that she swore she wouldn't do. 'I'm sorry Naruto, but I'm afraid this is where it ends. It's time you knew the truth.' she secretly thought, knowing of what was to come. Naruto having no idea she was hurting, simply smiled and replied; "This is beginning to be a habit of yours." he gave a small chuckle when he said that, but the subject brought him back to his biggest worry and so he asked; "Speaking of 'Surprises', what's the deal with the 'Hinata' situation? Are we still ok?" wondering if their secret was still safe. Of all the questions, that was the one she dreaded the most, not because he had asked it but because of what it meant. As she now knew, that this wouldn't only hurt her, but him as well. But at least, he would be spared the full pain of it, knowing that if everything went as planned Hinata would take her place. With that in mind, she swiftly looked away, her voice sounding a bit hollow as she replied; "It's funny that you mention that…" pausing for effect as she gathered he thoughts. Immediately Naruto began to panic, fearing that their secret was in jeopardy, he began to frantically ask; "But wait, I thought you said you would handle this?!' wondering what went wrong. Immediately her head snapped back to his as she quickly replied; "I DID! Well…sort of." Naruto looked at her slightly confused, so she gave a sigh and said; "Follow me." and began to lead him to the bedroom. However, he stopped her for a moment, as he said; "Hold on, Ino, I need a shower and I'm starving." wanting to clean up and get something to eat before things got too heated. But Ino was persistent, as she replied; "Don't worry about it, besides I think you will find that your scent after a workout, is far more attractive then when you are clean. And as for eating, well…let's just say you will have plenty to dine on." he devious smile threading it self back into place with the innuendo. Though he was skeptical about the first part, as he didn't think his scent was good, but the second one he had to comment on saying; "Well, as good as that sounds, I think I would like to have some real food. I haven't eaten since noon, and I was in one hell of a fight today!" still protesting at least on the meal. This time Ino rolled her eyes, she was getting impatient, so she replied a little more forcefully; "It can wait, besides there is something, that I REALLY want to show you." This time she didn't wait for a response, as she pulled him straight to the bedroom. The first thing Naruto noticed was the fact, that despite how dark it was due to the lights being off, he could tell that his room had changed as his bed had been replaced by a large queen-size, six-and a half foot tall canopy bed. Which was no placed in the center of the room, right where his nightstand use to be, which was now where his old bed once was. The bed frame, head rest, and foot rest were all made solid oak. All of which was painted Black, while the sheets, covers and pillow casings were all Orange to give it that Naruto flare that he had grown attached too. Immediately Naruto asked; "Huh, what happened to my bed?" curious as to how this had gotten here. Earlier when Naruto was still training with Tenten, Ino and Hinata had finished shopping for their apparel for the night. Figuring Naruto's bed far to small for more then 2 people, Ino decided it was probably time to get him an upgrade, so she went back to Naruto's place and snagged one of his scrolls that Neji had given him and went bed shopping by herself, telling Hinata that she would meet her at Naruto's in an hour. Though she wasn't too good at the sealing arts, she did pay enough attention to the hand signs and the details of how to perform the Jutsu since it required very little chakra and was easy to reverse as well. With the help of the scroll, not to mention huge payout that Lady Tsunade had given, it took less then 30 minutes to set everything up just right. Ino smiled as she coyly said; "I figured it was time to get an upgrade. Don't you like it?" he had better considering it cost her around 280,000 Ryo! He couldn't deny it was definitely his style, so he replied; "Well, yeah it's awesome, but why the change? And what does this have to do with Hinata?" trying to bring them back to the main subject. Ino gave a small giggle, as that Fox like grin of hers returned when she said; "Why don't you ask her your self." and nodded towards the patio door. Recognizing Ino's nod as the signal, Hinata wasted no time opening the door and stepping inside, as she waited for Naruto to notice her. At first Naruto was confused at the statement, but then he heard the patio door open and unwittingly turned his head in that direction, and there standing in the patio door way bathed in moonlight was the girl in question. "Hinata!" he said, his eyes wide with shock, not only about her being there, but her apparel as well as she was dressed in the same fashion Ino was in! The difference being that instead of mostly black as Ino was in, was in a pale Lavender color satin robe which stopped at mid-rift for her, and she had opted for a deep Lavender, almost Violet cotton seamless bra for comfort, and one that actually fit her as well as showed off exactly how much cleavage she had really been hiding! All of which was riding above a pair of matching satin brief with lace trim panties, that begged to be removed! The moonlight caused her hair to shin from its Ink-blue color, to almost a Navy tent, her pale white skin seemed almost luminescent giving her the appearance of a ghost or Goddess. In contrast to Ino she had chosen the Coral Red lipstick, and as with Ino she had chosen the Iris eye shadow, to help make her Lavender eyes more prominent. The gulp that Naruto gave could be heard clear across the room as it made Hinata blush. She could almost feel Naruto's heated gaze, as he looked her up and down, seemingly in a trance like state. This of course didn't help her panties in the least, as the sudden attention she was getting from her crush stoked her fires all over again, causing her to soak the flimsy material which was barely there to begin with! Ino had been surprised when she chose those, figuring they were a little to bold for her, but Hinata was insistent on it and now she could see why. They were conservative, yet sexy in their own rite, telling a full story without ever saying a word. Despite everything that she had gone through, Hinata was still shivering, whether it was from nerves or excitement she couldn't tell as she thought, 'He's looking at me, he's actually looking at me! I never been so happy! That's right Naruto, see me, see me for who I really am!' feeling a bit emboldened by her crush's gaze, she tried to speak saying; "H-hello Naruto." though she tried to come across as sexy and seductive, the dry throat had made her attempt sound more like a whisper then anything else. 'Damn it! Not this again! I thought I would be over this by now! Oh it's no use, when ever I see Naruto he practically steals the strength right out from under me!' she thought knowing she was in trouble, with an attempt she gave a pleading eye to Ino, knowing that without her help she couldn't even get close to the Blond boy. Hearing Hinata speak, drew Naruto out of his daze, and he shook his head as if clearing the fog then asked; "What's going on here Ino?" now more confused then ever, seeing as Hinata was the last person he expected to be in his room considering the way she looked when she took off. Ino saw Hinata's desperate plea, figuring something must have gone wrong, she gave a fleeting look towards Naruto before going to escort the Hyuga girl to her destination. Which was directly in front of Naruto, holding on to the girl for dear life, so Hinata would know that she was there for her. Once in front of him, Ino turned to him and replied; "That can wait, first I think there is something you should hear. Something that Hinata wants to tell you…" then looked to the Hyuga girl with an expectant nod towards Naruto, telling her to "Go on!" while giving her hand a firm grip for support. Despite Ino's best efforts, and the ever flowing need growing inside her, the shakes came and stole what strength she had left to speak as she desperately tried to say; "N-Naruto I…I-I-I…Naruto I…" but no matter how she tried the words seemed to fail to come to her lips. 'Oh it's just no use, no matter how many times I try my body just won't listen!' she thought, as she was about to give up hope, hell she was grateful she got this far without fainting! Suddenly she got an idea as she continued to think, 'Wait! Maybe I'm the one whose not listening!/? Ino said, that my body knows what it wants, that I should just listen to it and it will be that much easier. So then all I need to do is…' she closed her eyes as she began to try and listen to her heart, and allow the love to flow from her body, when she did she felt a calm that she had never known before. A sense of peace swept over her, as she allowed the desire to take over. 'This feeling…it feels so good, I feel so calm. I know what I want, I know what I desire…' she thought, as if willing her body to do the rest. Trying once more she said; "Naruto.. I…" she gasped as her body leaped forward on it's own, latching her arms around his neck before pulling him into a spine tingling kiss that made them both shiver. Tears of Joy fell from her eyes as she finished her words in thought, '…Truly Love you!'While AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
