Naruto and the Red Kunoichi of Konohagakure

Sakura was feeling incredibly annoyed. In fact, she would go as far to say she was pissed.If it wasn't enough that her team hadn't had much time to rest after that hell hole of a second test, then she had been pitted against her beloved Sasuke-kun. Of course, Sakura knew she was no much for her crush and surrendered, drawing disappointed stares from some Konoha Genin, and mocking laughs from Genin from other villages. Of course, Kakashi-sensei hadn't seem disappointed, just whisking away Sasuke-kun to do who knows what. Naruto had been as goofy, but comforting as ever. He hadn't ridiculed her or seemed disappointed which made her feel much better. But her biggest rival, Ino-pig-Yamanaka was quick to ridicule her.

"Ha, look at you now Forehead girl! My Sasuke-kun knocked you right out of the tournament!" Suddenly, the next pairing was announced: Ino Yamanaka versus Naruto Uzumaki. Ino smirked. "Ha, an easy pass to the next challenge!" She bragged, swiftly making her way onto the field. Watching her rival disappear behind the staircase, an idea hatched itself in Sakura's head.

"Naruto!" She said, before he had the chance to leave the bystanders. "I want you to do something for me..." Sakura whispered into his ear. "...And I'll eat ramen with you tonight in exchange- as friends!" She offered, stressing the words friends.

Naruto had been watching the fight between the other two members of Team 7 and the end result pissed HIM off! He probably would have been even angrier if the fight went on and Sakura was actually beaten, so at least that didn't happen.

But it wasn't the crowd ridiculing his crush tat angered him, it was the fact that Sasuke just gave a nonchalant smirk before being whisked off by their sensei. "Stupid teme..." he muttered.

Then he looked up to see that he was facing Ino next, out of all of the members of the Rookie 9, not counting Sasuke, she probably annoyed him the most. So when he overheard the girl running her mouth, he sucked his teeth and was about to head down. But then he blinked as he saw Sakura calling him. "Huh...?"

Then he began to whisper in his ear, something that caused his eyes to widen and his brow to raise. "You sure...?" but then at the incentive, a big fat stupid grin emerged on his face. The word friend was completely blurred out in his mind. This was a DATE in his eyes!

"You got it Sakura-chan!" Naruto's smile beamed before suddenly jumped over the railing and landed on the arena floor below, he was pumped before, but now he was all fired up!

Ino stood across from Naruto, a big smirk on her face. She had this in the bag. Naruto was, after all, the weakest out of all of them. "This will be easy," Ino taunted. "What can a baka like you do? You couldn't even make a clone in the academy!" She laughed a bit. The exam in the forest only cemented her opinion of his strength as he had been out cold. Nevermind that Sasuke-kun had been in the same position for most of the encounter.

Sakura was shaking with excitement as Ino built herself up for a fall. Maybe someone like Kiba would beat Naruto, but Sakura knew that Naruto had improved enough to defeat Ino. He had shown a new ability to form corporeal clones, giving him an advantage in numbers. Not too mention his mastery in the tree-exercise (which Sakura wondered if any of the other Genin could do- they probably could so Sakura knocked that achievement off the list).

"Begin!" The proctor coughed.

Ino sprang into action, sending three shuriken spiraling towards the other blonde.

"Hehe...you haven't seen anything of what I can do now..." Naruto said with a smirk. "Just watch...I'll show you clones...!"

When Hayate gave the go, Naruto sprang into action and went forward, blinking as the shuriken's came his way and he started jumping about to avoid them. "Get ready for a serious butt thrashing, 'ttebayo!"

He landed back on his feet in his sprint and formed handsigns. "You're in luck, I'm about to show you one of my new techniques right off the bat! Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" making those handsigns and suddenly two different Naruto clones appeared o both sides, running with him.

Ino was a bit frustrated at his evasion of her shuriken, but wasn't too steamed at it. Any ninja-even Genin- had the training too deal with such simple tactics. They were mostly used for diversions and scare tactics (directed towards civilians). Her eyes widened when Naruto actually performed the clone jutsu. She scoffed at his arrogance though. "So you managed to make a clone, but you didn't even switch your position!" Which mean his illusions were just a waste of chakra. Sprinting towards Naruto, who was running towards her with his clones, Ino leaped over him, grabbing him by the hair to force him to bend backwards.

"Ha! I got you, now!" She said, her hand reaching into her pouch to grab a kunai and force his surrender. Sakura watched confidently. Ino was about to learn the uniqueness of Naruto's clones. Although she did feel bad for Naruto getting his hair pulled.

Naruto grunted a bit, shutting an eye, but then he chuckled. "Hehe...I don't think so...!"

As the other four clones were getting to work. One grabbed Ino by the shoulder to get her attention with a grin, and the other three attacked.

One kicked her over to the side, causing her to have to release Naruto as a result, the second kicked her again to the right as Ino toward them. And the third gave another solid kick to send her forward again, almost as in a triangle shape, where she ended up falling forward on some type of table.

That 'table', being the lap of the original Naruto, who was sitting on top of his final clone. The blonde boy grinned. "Surprise...!"

The other three clones went to pin her down. One grabbed her hands and the other kept her legs down. This was some turn of events!

"Ugh!" Ino was sent from clone to clone, some spit flying out of her mouth mixed in with blood as she was sent around like a volleyball. Clearly, these weren't ordinary clones and missing that had probably cost her the match. "Oof!" Ino guffawed as she finally fell over the blond's lap, which was surprisingly scrawny despite the illusion the jumpsuit gave it. Sore, she tried to struggles as the clones restrained her. Her eyes darted nervously, and she realized something. Naruto was sitting on the back of one of his clones like a chair. A chair. And she was over his lap...

Feeling a foreboding feeling, but not entirely sure why, Ino tried to gather information. "What are you doing, baka?!" She demanded.

[Sardonyx]

Naruto gave a self confident grin. "Heh, you don't know? C'mon Ino, anyone who went to the academy should know what happens to those in this position...!" he said aloud, so that the other rookies who were probably confused at the display, other than Sakura, can finally realize what the blonde boy was doing to the blonde girl. It was further more cemented as Naruto raised his right hand.

The clone then restraining her legs, chuckled. "Now then, I say we go in order, layer by layer and draw it out for as long as possible...!"

"Hai, 'ttebayo!" both the original and the Naruto clones said as the original dropped his hand and landed a sound smack on Ino's posterior.

Ino flushed with a mixture of anger and embarrassment as Naruto, Naruto of all people, landed a swat to her backside. "How dare you!" She fumed. Her anger was dampered by embarrassment though when whistles sounded from the Genin from different villages. The make-up Sand ninja whistled the loudest. Ino was feeling her pride be crushed bit by bit but the finishing blow came from Sakura, her rival, who laughed and taunted Ino from the stands. And encouraged Naruto!

"Good job, Naruto!" Sakura yelled, a wide smile on her face as she beamed directly at him. Ino couldn't bare for this to happen and opened her mouth to surrender. After all, this would end with the match.

"I," She began.

[Sardonyx]

The original Naruto just grinned and kept landing swats on her covered backside.

"Uh, uh, uh!" the clone hold Ino's hands said with a grinand in a swift motion, used his free arm to cover her mouth while making sure not to loosen his grip on her arms.

At this the original stopped for a moment. "Can't have you stopping this now, can we...?" he said, before Naruto took of his headband and while the clone moved his hand from the girl's mouth, the original wrapped his headband around her mouth tightly and made a new knot that met at the back of Ino's neck. Any coherent speech that escaped her lips would just be silent muffles...well, as long as she could perform coherent speech.

One of the Narutos holding the girl's leg chuckled. "Welp, time for these to come down!" he said, grabbing onto the hem of Ino's shorts and taking them down.
