Naruto's and Ino's yells could be heard miles away throughout Kohona. People had to cover their ears so they didn't go deaf.

"Are you serious!" Naruto yelled.

"Quiet down brat!" Tsunade yelled.

"What do you mean quiet down!? I'm suppended! I didn't even do anything! It was Ino's fault!" Naruto yelled.

"My fault!? You were the one who just ran into their hangout, guns blazing!" Ino yelled back.

"Well you let them get away! They ran right past you and you watched them!" Naruto shouted back.

"Shut it you brat!" Ino yelled.

"You shut up you anorexic women!" Naruto yelled back.

"How about both of you shut up!" Tsunade yelled.

Naruto and Ino instantly stopped and gave their attention to Tsunade.

"I don't care who's fault it is. The fact still remains that you let those thugs get away. In other words, you failed! This is the third time you two have failed your missions together this month." Tsunade said.

"Well mabye they would get completed if I didn't have to work anorexic women over there." Naruto mumbled.

Naruto was soon lifted off his feet and looking into Ino's angered eyes.

"What was that you little punk!" Ino hissed.

"Uh, nothing." Naruto said.

"Good." Ino said and dropped him.

Tsunade sighed "It doesn't matter if you work with Ino or not Naruto. You're not always gonna work with someone you like. But it comes with the job. You are gonna have to learn that if you wanna become Hokage one day Naruto." Tsunade said.

Naruto sighed.

"So now what? We can't go on missions for one month. What do we do?" Ino asked.

"One month?..." Naruto had forgot about that.

"A month! Do you know how much it cost to pay rent at my apartment!? If I don't go on any missions then I won't have a place to live!" Naruto panicked.

"Don't your parents pay the rent?" Ino asked.

"I don't have parents." Naruto said quickly.

Ino decided to leave the subject alone.

"Don't worry, this all fits in with my plan." Tsunade said.

"What plan? What are you talking about?" Ino asked.

"Well I was hoping I wouldn't have to resort to this after you two failed the second mission but now, now I think it is reall neccesary." Tsunade said.

'Whatever Tsunade is talking about, it doesn't sound good' Ino thought to herself. Naruto thought the same to himself.

"You two are gonna do a teamwork exercise." Tsunade said simply.

"Ok, sounds simple. What type of teamwork exercise?" Ino asked.

"You two are gonna live together for one month." Tsunade said.

Tsunade counted to three in her head until both the blondes blew up 'Three Two One...'

"WHAT!?!?!?!" both blondes screamed, shaking to Hokage tower and everyone in it.

"What does living together have to do with teamwork!?" Ino half screamed, half asked.

"Well the problem seems not to be you skills. The problem is you two can't tolerate each other. So the what better way then to bond if you see that person everyday for a month?" Tsunade grinned.

Naruto didn't know what to say. He was frozen in shock.

"N-no way! I refuse to live with Naruto! You can't make me!" Ino said.

"While you are right, I can't force you to live with somebody you don't want to. But I CAN take away your ninja status. And I will." Tsunade said.

"What will you do?" Naruto asked.

"If you two refuse to live with each other. Or you don't live in the same house for a month exactly, you will never work as ninja again." Tsunade said.

Ino stared at her wide eye. Naruto fainted.

"B-but where will we live. He ain't living at my house! And i'm sure as hell not living at his house!" Ino yelled.

"Don't worry. I have rented you out a house that was just built on the rich side of Kohona. Everything will be paid for. That includes cable, plumbing, and electric." Tsunade said.

She tossed some keys at Ino who caught them.

"But if we're not paid, how will we buy food?" Ino aksed.

Tsunade threw her a envolpe. Ino caught it and quickly opened it. Her eyes nearly popped out her sockets.

"A million Ryu!" Ino yelled.

"That should be enough." Tsunade said.

'Mabye this will be worth it' Ino said.

"There is ONE tiny problem though." Tsunade said.

"What could be wrong with this house?" Ino asked in awe.

"It's one bedroom." Tsunade said.

This didn't seem to shake Ino though.

"Don't worry, Naruto will just sleep on the couch!" Ino said happily.

'Not what I meant when I said teamwork exercise, but whatever' Tsunade thought to herself.

"So, are you gonna do this then Ino?" Tsunade asked.

"Yes Lady Tsunade." Ino said.

"Ok then. Heres the address. Now take Naruto with you." Tsunade said.

Ino nodded and grabbed Naruto by his collar.

"Oh and Ino." Tsunade said.

"Yes Lady Tsunade?" Ino asked.

"Try not to kill him." Tsunade said.

Ino smiled "I'll try not to." Ino said and dragged Naruto out of the tower.

'Everything is so dark...what happened?' Naruto thought to himself as he started to stir awake. Naruto opened his eyes. Standing in front of him was a white house with two windows on the side.

"Where am I?" Naruto asked to no one.

"Your at your new house Naruto." said a voice above him.

Naruto looked up to see Ino looking down at him.

"So, we're really gonna be living together huh?" Naruto asked.

Ino nodded her head.

'If we are gonna have to leave together, might as well get along' Naruto thought to himself

"Look Ino, about the anorexic thing i'm so-" Naruto never got to finish.

"I don't wanna hear it Naruto. You just stay on your side of the house, and i'll stay on mine." Ino said.

"What are you talking about?" Naruto asked.

"You'll see." Ino said.

Ino walked to the door, pulled out the key, unlocked it, and opened the door. Naruto and Ino walked in and stared with awe. The walls were painted light blue with white carpet everywhere. In the living room was a love seat with a big screen plasma T.V. in front of it.

Right behind the couch was a long hallway that led to a huge bedroom. They walked down the hallway and saw that on the right was the bathroom. They entered the bedroom and looked around. There was a huge king sized bed in the middle that had purple sheets on it.

There were two mini fridges on the side of the bed. On the wall was a flat screen HD T.V.

"Wow...this is so amazing!" Naruto yelled excitedly.

"I hope you enjoyed looking at it." Ino said.

"Why?" Naruo asked.

"Oh, no reason. Now, close your eyes. I have a suprise for you." Ino said.

"Is this a trick?" Naruto asked.

"No. Just trust me." Ino said.

"Alright, fine." Naruto said and closed his eyes.

"No peaking!" Ino said and pulled some tape out her pocket.

15 minutes later Ino was done. Naruto heard a door slam and lock.

"Ok! Open your eyes!" he heard Ino yell.

Naruto opened his eyes and horror filled them.

"You taped the house!" Naruto shouted.

"Yup! The left side is your side!" Ino yelled from inside the room.

"But you have the bathroom on your side! And I can't get into the room so you have the mini fridges! That means I have to sleep on the couch!" Naruto yelled.

"Tough luck blondie!" Ino yelled and laughed.

Naruto sighed "This gonna be a long month." Naruto said.
