Moving On Part 8 Rasengan Training & The Next Step

A/N: Hey everyone time for another update, now there is going to be some changes, I now I said in earlier changes since the last chapter I've come to a decision that will make some people happy with others not being happy, and this change will be the pairing NaruIno is the main pairing that won't change, but there will be more, it will be a small harem and I will try and build up all the women to be with Naruto, I've already shown some groundwork for two of the pairings.

The pairing will eventually be NaruInoSakuTemari (Tenten may be added but not sure) I know some people won't be happy with Sakura's add I will say she will be the last person being added if it remains NaruInoSakuTemari even if I add Tenten she could still be last but I don't know, I will also say that there will be some changes instead of following Canon, This chapter is more of a filler chapter before the Gaara rescue which will be two weeks after he returns instead of like in canon.

Naruto and Sakura, will take a long time to rebuild any friendship, Naruto hasn't become a completely different person but he won't take any shit from Sakura anymore, Sakura will realise this and won't do anything stupid like in canon.

'Inner Thoughts'

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto just this story

Naruto looks at his girlfriend and smirks opens up a scroll and pulls out a bag full of balloons already full of water, he grins at the confused look from Ino.

She looks at Naruto 'Seriously, what the fuck is this.' "I hope you don't intend me to do some pranks with you Naruto-kun."

Naruto just chuckles "Although that would be fun, I'm not that Naruto anymore, no this is the first process in the Rasengan."

Ino looks at him confused "How is using a balloon going to teach me the Rasengan."

Naruto rolls his eyes "There is three stages to the Rasengan, I will show you the first process."

Naruto smiles and picks up one of the balloon's and shows her just what to do, Ino watches on first in confusion before shock seeing the Balloon change shape before it pops.

She looks at Naruto "What the hell was that? what did you do to make the Balloon change like that."

Naruto smiles and tells what what he did causing Ino to be shocked but tries to do as asked.

Naruto steps back and watches her as she starts trying to pop the Balloon, as he's watching he senses Kakashi arriving, he's had five years to get over the lack of training that Kakashi gave him Naruto doesn't even look his way at first but after Kakashi says nothing he finally looks his way.

"So lying to her so I'd teach her the Rasengan, she told me about you teaching her the Kage Bunshin, honestly I have mixed feelings on the matter on the one hand I'm happy about that, but on the other hand I'm also quite annoyed because I'm trying to understand that you would train someone that isn't your student and neglect your own students, your actions are not enough for me to forgive you for your past actions, so I'll ask you to leave."

Kakashi looks at his student he knows he failed him he can also tell that this Naruto is more mature but he also holds a grudge against him maybe the same with Sakura he's not sure.

He sighs and just leaves, Ino stopped what she was doing when she saw Kakashi arrive she was about to say hello until she heard what Naruto said to Kakashi-sensei.

She herself wasn't really happy with Kakashi-sensei that's why she asked him to teach her the Kage Bunshin, she thought Naruto would be happy and it seemed he was, but he was also annoyed not that she can fully blame him it's quite surprising the venom that came from Naruto though, it's not like him it seems that things must have happened during his trip that he never told her about.

She places the Balloon on the ground and approaches Naruto "Are you OK Naruto-kun."

Naruto looks at her and smiles "I'm OK Ino-chan, it's just that Kakashi's actions rather annoy me, it will take time for me to forgive him fully."

Ino smiles and places her hand on his cheek "I understand, he really fucked up I pretty much demanded he train me, it wasn't only you but Sakura who he neglected."

Naruto nods "I know and it annoys me."

Ino gets a serious look "He knows he's fucked up as I said both you and Sakura have learned more from Tsunade and Jiraiya respectively then you ever did from him and he knows that."

Naruto sighs "That is true, it won't be easy for me to forgive him unless he proves me wrong."

Ino grins "Well, lets change this gloomy scene and get back to the training it's pretty tough."

Naruto smirks "Well, it took the 4th Hokage two years to learn it, it took Pervy Sage less time but it took me two weeks of course I used Kage Bunshin's to help me."

Ino looks shocked "Why didn't you tell me about that dammit, I better create a clone to help me."

Naruto just nods at her and she jogs back over to the Balloons and creates two clones before they all grab a balloon and starts training.

For several hours Naruto watches as Ino gets frustrated at her lack of getting the first stage done, Naruto just shakes his head knowing just how frustrating it is.

He even chuckles when he sees the pout on Ino's face after several more hours Naruto calls a stop and Ino tosses the Balloon against a tree in frustration.

Naruto just rolls his eyes and approaches Ino "Don't take it so serious, your not going to get it straight away it takes time, nobody got it on the first day Ino not even me, we have plenty of time."

Ino groans "It's just so frustrating I haven't even done the first step yet and there's two other steps."

Naruto just chuckles "Come on let's get something to eat, huh, then we can continue tomorrow, don't worry you'll get it soon enough."

Ino again pouts and folds her arms under her breasts, causing them to lift up and Naruto looks he immediately looks away but Ino saw him so grins "Naruto-kun, checking out my breasts huh, I bet you want to play with them rub your hands over my breasts, causing my nipples to harden you probably want to hear me moan at the feel that's what you want to hear isn't it."

Naruto looks at her with a blush, "You've been hanging around Anko to much, now who's the pervert."

Ino grins and struts up to her boyfriend swinging her hips as she does "If you have the body then you work your body to drive guys wild, it's flirting 101, Naruto-kun."

Naruto raises an eyebrow, before walking to her causing her to back away with a grin on her face until her backs against a tree.

Naruto then steps into her personal space but she doesn't mind as she wraps her arms around his neck and he smiles and leans into her as they share a kiss, oh how they've both missed this even if they only kissed briefly before they left it left them both wanting more.

She grins into the kiss enjoying kissing her boyfriend, other than Kiba asking her out there were others, even people she met on missions asked her out and she turned them all down, most were nothing but pigs anyway, especially the ones on missions.

She'd never tell Naruto of the one man who propositioned her to sleep with him and bare his children, of course she declined, the man was so shocked apparently nobody even declines him, when he tried to demand it, Asuma got involved, he'd never let his Student be used like that, especially as she was with Naruto sort of Asuma wasn't sure what there relationship was.

It did, cause the rest of the mission to be tense though not that she cared, she didn't even try to gain his attention when he did it he just saw her as a young piece of meat, of course, there was a slim possibility that he could try and arrange a marriage to him, luckily that never happened thank the stars for that.

Of course Ino wasn't the only one who had troubles, with the looks Naruto got and the propositions he got throughout the five years it caused quite a few problems, like Ino, Naruto would never tell her of those instances, because she'd get jealous, and he doesn't want that.

He's happy with Ino, saying that during the academy would have been totally weird he only had eyes for Sakura during that time, but they've both grown up since then, there more mature, the problem though is that there both trained by Perverts.

After kissing for several minutes they break apart both with red faces and she leans her head against his chest content to just stay like this for a while, Naruto's also just fine staying like this.

All things must come to an end though and after staying like that they once again move apart, and Ino takes Naruto's hand and heads back into the village, Ino knows that Naruto is still seen as a monster a murderer even if he isn't one, so finding a place that will allow him to enter will be a problem.

After a while of thinking and realizing that Yakiniku Q is packed Ino leads him back to her place, she's not a very good cook though.

Naruto is surprised when she leads him through the shop and into the main house, she tells him to take a seat and she will cook but once she looks what she sees realizes she can't cook anything with what they have luckily Naruto surprises her by pulling out some steaks, and some potatoes.

He starts cooking for them turning the potatoes into mash adding a little Garlic which surprised her and starts on the steaks, also making a nice gravy.

Ino watches this in shock "Since when can you cook, I thought all you ate was Ramen and BBQ Chicken."

Naruto smiles "Actually living alone I had to learn how to cook, but because of the treatment I received from the village I couldn't get ingredients so I just stuck with Ramen."

Ino looks shocked and saddened by that but he smiles "But when I left on the training trip I cooked all the time, Pervy Sage maybe many things, a Cook isn't one of them, as I found out he also doesn't know how to follow suggestions."

Ino smiles 'Damn, I really hit the jackpot super strong, super handsome, can cook, damn suck on that girls snooze you loose Sakura, and you Hinata.' "What did he do."

Naruto chuckles "Well we were camping and I was making a thick Rabbit Stew with Potatoes, carrots and peas with a nice thick broth, with some bread to go with it, but we'd run out of seasoning so I told him to keep an eye on it all just stir it every minute or so and I'd be back because I saw some herbs not far away."

Ino grins knowing something must have gone wrong "So what happened."

Naruto grins "Well, I was gone maybe 10 minutes tops and when I got back everything was burnt, he was so engrossed in those trashy books that he didn't stir it once, I wasn't best pleased, luckily I had some instant Ramen left over so I just had the ramen and the bread but if he wanted to eat he had to eat what he let get burnt, suffice to say it wasn't edible so he went to bed hungry, serves him right for being an idiot."

Ino laughs "Had to have been there moment huh, I would have been pissed you probably spent a lot of time with it as well."

Naruto nods "Yea you could say that, honestly we didn't even need the seasoning I just thought it would give it more flavour."

Ino shakes her head "I take it he learned his lesson."

Naruto laughs "Yea, after that day whenever I was cooking he stayed at the ready so to speak encase he was needed, of course, I made sure to grab spices and all that whenever we stayed in a village long enough to grab supplies, usually when he was meeting contacts from his spy network or doing his so-called research."

Ino nods "You mean perving over women right," When Naruto nods she sighs "Well, if I ever catch him perving over me I'll kick his ass so hard he won't be able to sit down for a week."

Naruto laughs "Why not do one better, and just make him think he's a girl or something or gay."

Ino laughs "Oh, I guess I could do that also." She then gets off her chair and approaches Naruto and wraps her arms around his waist "Damn that smells good."

Naruto nods "It should be, It will be OK for me to you know use this stuff you wasn't saving the steak for anything was you."

Ino shakes her head resting her head on his shoulder "Nah, whenever mum or dad are away for a while they stock up with food, usually most of it's still there when they return they don't seem to realize that I don't cook that much, and before you went on your training trip and I was focused on the Uchiha, I had my stupid dieting so nah your fine."

Naruto smiles "Well that's good then." Then he gets a confused look "So what do you usually do when there gone."

Ino blushes "Well, I either eat out or I go over to either Sakura's mums or Shikamaru's and they either cook what I brought over or they feed me."

Naruto nods "Well that's OK, at least your still eating."

Ino smiles then gets a sad look "But now your back are you going to go back to only eating Ramen."

Naruto looks over his shoulder "I don't know it's either get over charged for what I need or eat only Ramen."

Ino pouts "No, I won't stand for that, you give me a shopping list and I'll buy you what you need OK, Ramen is OK but not for everything, it would make me sad if you went back to what you used to do."

Naruto turns the food down and then creates a clone to keep and eye on the food while he takes her hand and leads her back to the table and sits down and is momentarily surprised when she sits in his lap but he just shrugs and hugs her.

"It's OK Ino-chan, I'll give you a shopping list if it will make you happy."

She snuggles into him more and nods, "It would, I hate how they treat you don't they know your not the stupid Kyūbi."

Naruto is surprised she knows but maybe she was told he's kind of surprised she still wants to be with him even though she knows.

"People fear what they don't understand, people are ruled by fear they don't know what a Jinchūriki is, they don't know what Fūinjutsu is, there blinded by there fear and hatred, it took me a long time to understand that."

"Does it still make me sad that there to stupid to understand, yes of course it does, do they have a right to hate the Kyūbi yes they do, the Kyūbi is a part of me whether I like it or not."

Ino sighs "But your not the Kyūbi, why can't they understand that."

"Because like I said they don't know what a Jinchūriki is or what Fūinjutsu does, they lost loved ones friends to the Kyūbi, they don't think clearly but I won't let them attack me, they can glare all they want call me whatever names they want I don't care."

"I'm a ninja of Konohagakure, my job is to protect the village and them, even if most of the village would rather I die, I'm not going to let them dictate how I live my life."

Ino looks at her boyfriend in shock "I don't know how you do it, any normal person would have broken but you haven't, this village doesn't deserve you."

"Trust me Ino-chan, when I was younger I hated the villagers, I hated what they said, why they said it, I wanted them to acknowledge me to show them that I wasn't the Kyūbi."

Ino looks into Naruto's blue eyes that she could get lost in "Wanted don't you still want that don't you still want to be the Hokage."

Naruto sighs "For years I thought it was what I wanted now I'm not so sure, if they can't accept me then fine I'll still protect Konoha, like I always have even if I'm not the Hokage, this is my home and I will protect it from any threat, foreign or domestic."

"I will also protect what is precious to me, like you, Iruka-sensei, Baa-chan, Shizune-Nii-san, Ayame-chan, and old man Ichiraku, not to mention my other friends, they are my precious people and I will protect them with my life."

Ino blushes "Your precious to me to, I don't want to you die though, you are just as important as everyone else, maybe even more important, although your a Jinchūriki your also a deterrent from other villages attacking us, the stronger you are the better."

"Through your actions you've made us better allies with Sunagakure, we've made alliances with the Land Of Waves, The Land Of Spring formally the Land Of Snow, not to mention other places."

"It wasn't Kakashi-sensei, or Asuma-sensei, or anyone else that did that it was you, through your actions we've made allies you saved us from a rampaging Gaara during the invasion you saved this whole village, when Sasuke couldn't do anything you did the impossible."

Naruto looks at Ino and kisses her on the lips and they melt into the kiss showing all there passion into the kiss.

Then they hear a cough and break apart as they see the clone placing two plates on the table with a large steak, with mashed potatoes and gravy with some bread to soak up the gravy, the clone even got a large jug of Lemonade and placed that beside them with two glasses before dispelling.

Ino climbs out of Naruto's lap before sitting down she leans down "Damn that smells good."

Naruto grins and they both say Itadakimasu before digging in.

After they've enjoyed the cooked meal one of the best Ino's ever had not that she'll ever tell her mum that they sitting on the couch with Ino sitting in between Naruto's legs and there watching TV.

After an hour Naruto realizes how late it is and gets up to leave, he noticed Ino had fallen asleep so he carried her up to his room as she wasn't that heavy, he lies her down in her bed,

He contemplates on whether to put her in her nightwear but thinks against that, he's not a pervert and it's to early in there relationship to do something like that.

He then heads back downstairs, he looks into the kitchen and groans thinking he should have made another clone to wash up but he just shrugs and starts washing up himself, after a short time he's finished and has placed everything back where it belongs then heads to the front door before putting on his sandals.

He opens the door but before he can step outside he feels a tug on his arm and looks back and sees Ino. "Ino I thought you were asleep, you should go back to bed."

She nods "I will once you join me."

Naruto blushes "Ino, we've only just started dating I don't think sleeping together is acceptable yet."

Ino grins "Oh Naruto-kun, I don't expect you to rock my world just yet, as you said we are still not ready to go that far, yet, but I'm asking you to share my bed just to cuddle, I've missed you so much I just want you to hold me as we sleep, nothing will happen, unless you want it to, we could always fool around."

Naruto looks at her, luckily it's dark so she can't see his face and the small trickle of blood on his nose before he wipes it off, although she probably saw him do that.

For a moment he stands there wondering what people will think, of course he's not given the chance to decline even if he could easily have gotten out of her grip If he wanted.

She pulls him inside and locks the front door and she stands there while he takes off his sandals before she escorts him back upstairs.

Now he's upstairs he notices she's already in her sleepwear and damn it's hard not to pass out from blood loss as she's wearing a tight T-shirt showing off her amazing figure, really defining her breasts, lower down she's only wearing black panties showing off her amazing legs and nice ass.

Ino watches him checking her out, and finds it so amusing knowing that he's probably having a hard time not passing out from blood loss, she then grins as she reaches for his top and pulls it over his head with Naruto being to shocked to argue with her, after she's disregarded his top she works on his trousers once she lowers them she sees the tent in his boxers.

She's so tempted to do something more then what she said they were going to do but she is quite tired, Naruto's now in his boxers once again Ino takes his hand and leads him over to her bed.

As soon as Naruto joins her she cuddles up with him and already her hardened nipples are pressing against her T-shirt which is resting against Naruto's rock hard abs, she just grins and kisses him on the lips before resting her head against his shoulder and closes her eyes.

Naruto has his arms wrapped around her surprised this is all happening and so quickly but there not doing anything he knows that because he can already hear the light snoring coming from Ino he thinks it's kind of cute, he just shakes his head "Night Ino-chan." He then closes his eyes and quickly joins Ino in dreamland.

Over the next few weeks Naruto and Ino train but also Ino continues to learn the Rasengan she only learned the first step a day ago so she's now working on the next step and this step is even harder than the first.

Naruto and Ino didn't always train together Ino spend some time with Sakura at the hospital or just hanging out, Naruto spent time with Shikamaru and Chōji.

He even surprised Shikamaru when the three of them were at the Nara compound when he saw the Shogi board and asked Shikamaru if he wanted a game, now this surprised not only Shikamaru and Chōji but also Shikaku and his wife Yoshino.

All of them knew what Naruto was like before he went on the training trip with Jiraiya both Shikaku and Yoshino were surprised that Naruto already knows Sage Mode and has learned so much, but to hear Naruto ask Shikamaru about playing Shogi which is a strategical game that also means you have to have patience to play suffice to say there were in shock not knowing that Naruto had to learn to meditate while learning Sage Mode/

That didn't stop Shikamaru from agreeing to play with him, the game was won by Shikamaru though, although they all agreed that Naruto wasn't half bad at the game, they all agreed that only Shikamaru and his dad could beat Naruto at Shogi maybe Asuma.

For all of them though they were all surprised but also happy that the Naruto that returned from the training trip is not the same loudmouth, cocky knuckleheaded Naruto, but a new improved Naruto and they were all happy with that.

Now back to the hear and now, once again Naruto is watching Ino try the second part of the Rasengan even Jiraiya was surprised she learned the first part in just under two weeks,

As there doing the task they both see a messenger bird heading toward the Hokage tower and wonder what it's all about, a short time later they find out what it was about as Naruto is summoned to meet with the Hokage.

Naruto says he'll see Ino later and heads off meeting both Sakura and Kakashi also making there way there, Sakura says hello to Naruto who also says it back before they head inside and are about to get one of there toughest missions yet a rescue mission and to fight against S-Ranked Ninjas from the Akatsuki.

Once they find out Naruto is already rearing to go, he wants a piece of the Akatsuki and wants to show these idiots that he's not weak anymore and If they want him then there going to have to bring there A game.

Sakura looks at Naruto and clenches her fists, she may not really be on speaking terms with Naruto, as since he's returned he's spent more time with Ino than anyone else, but she'll be damned if she lets the Akatsuki take Naruto, because not only does she want to prove to Naruto that she's changed but also because if the Akatsuki took Naruto than Ino would be devastated.

Kakashi looks at both his students it still pains him that he wasn't the teacher that taught them but he's determined to change that and the Akatsuki will not get there hands on Naruto, not if he has anything to say about it, besides Minato-sensei or Kushina would never forgive him.

Tsunade looks at them and tells them to prepare and they all leave, Naruto heads to the Yamanaka flower shop to inform Ino of his mission she hugs him and tells him to come back to her, she wishes she could go but knows she won't be allowed especially as they're dating.

Naruto quickly kisses her on the lips before heading home to gather his supplies, a short time later they all meet up at the main gates they all nod to each other before setting off to save Gaara and kick some Akatsuki's asses.
