Ino oft thought to be a master of deduction.
Curiosity ran thick in her blood, just like every other Yamanaka, hers a bit more. Her compulsion for gossip, to find out more and more about everything regarding everyone stemmed from both an insatiable thirst for knowledge.
To find out what makes a person 'click'. She had almost everyone figured out, or so she liked to think.
So watching Hinata who was normally shy, reserved, nervous turn confident and braver. It piqued her curiosity. By no means was she feeling animosity towards the change, she welcomed it.
The only thing that did bother her was the fact that it happened so suddenly.
"What are you doing, piggy?" Of course some things never changed. Sakura looked at her blonde teammate, former friend, with narrowed jaded eyes."You're slacking off more than usual."
While the Haruno may not have been the strongest in their batch, she did feel bit a better physically speaking. Her sensei was a torturer, but labors brought good fruits.
Though Sakura did wish she her stamina would increase more.
"Shut up, flattie," Ino countered and the twitching of Sakura's eyes was satisfying. But for now she would cease fire. "Don't tell me you haven't noticed."
"Noticed what?" Sakura followed Ino's vision to the Hyuga heiress. Oh. The pinkette had indeed noticed the small changes in Hinata.
While she looked the same, her skin looked to be glowing, as if her skin had been reinvigorated with some sort of magical beauty cream.
"Exactly," Ino continued, eyeing their sensei who was chilling by resting on the bench as the three of them continued to paint the high fences. "Don't you find this weird at all?"
"Well, maybe sensei's giving her extra training," Sakura's answer seemed worthy of its weight. Over the last two weeks since Hinata had moved into the Uzumaki Compound, there had been a change.
In the early mornings she seemed tired. 'Eyes that looked like were about to fall asleep' tired. But she blistered through everything at a usual pace, even quicker at times. Her sensei also seemed brighter.
Maybe Hinata's innocence had affected him. She did have that peaceful air about her.
"Achoo!" Naruto sneezed and looked at his genin. Ino and Sakura were in close proximity, but there was no bickering. "Hinata, they're planning to kill you."
"W-What?" The Hyuga surprised looked at them. Last night had been amazing, as usual. Naruto-kun quite often went overboard. She was honestly surprised she could go that long.
A bit of guilt rose too, not for having sex with her Sensei-kun. Gods, no. She would never give that up. He was a 'vagician', and the blond had openly laughed at that term. No, she was supposed to begin her lessons on sealing, something that had been on hiatus even before she left her home.
Of course long hours of passionate and thorough lovemaking made her forget about all that.
"Don't believe anything he says, Hinata," Ino answered. She then pointed at their sensei and let loose. "He's been making us work day and night. Do you have any idea how dirty we become at the end of the day?"
"She doesn't complain," Naruto pointed out. "In fact, she never does. Now stop slacking, or I'll personally request a mission."
"You wouldn't," Sakura began with fear kicking in her mind.
Her teammates too felt that tingly shiver down their spines. A cold dark wraith harrowed their minds. Images of a bleak black terror resurfaced and went, "MEOW."
"Do you want to bet on that?" Naruto received no answer. "Yeah, that's what I thought. Now get back to painting that fence."
He didn't say a word further as all of them did so diligently. In between reading books, sensing the two ROOT agents keeping an eye on him – silly Danzo-sensei and his machinations – he would glance at Hinata's ass. By the Log that girl was insatiable.
He didn't consider himself a sex god, though many females told him otherwise, but she… she just kept coming back for more. Maybe this was why there was a premium on Hyuga virgins as he heard a Daimyo once joke. Naruto knew a fair bit of what went on behind the scenes of some clans; it wasn't uncommon for high ranking clans to 'marry off' their daughters for political alliances.
An hour or so later, the job was done, the tower was visited and they were back in Training Ground Six. Naruto sat on the grass and kept quiet for several minutes.
Why?
Because he was a cheeky bastard who wanted to mess with their minds.
"What are we here for?!"
It was working.
"Training," Naruto said and took out a scroll.
Unsealing it, he produced three sets of Maito Gai patented leg weights, only they had a significant amount of less weight in them. Very less, in fact he could probably wear them on his pinkie. ANBU was a harsh place, and he had learnt from the best of course.
Ah yes, drinking piss for water, eating mud for dinner and holding back thunder cone pine shit bricks for days so the enemy couldn't trace him.
He missed those blissful times.
"What are those?" Sakura asked. She'd feel like she had seen those before. But for the life of her she couldn't remember where.
"Weights," Naruto explained, "to be more specific Sealed Weights. Unlike normal weights where you have to add more weights this requires simple hand seals, 'Tiger' if you're interested to know that much."
"We know what weights are," Ino sashayed her hair. It flickered like a long golden wave dancing in the air. "But what do we have to do with them?"
"Simple really," Naruto threw them at his genin. Without much effort they caught it, but he could see they felt the weight of it. For now it was good. "Put them on."
He didn't need to tell them twice; Hinata listened to him without a question – the girl really wanted to get stronger – and the loud pair did so too; Ino didn't want Sakura to be better than and vice versa went in the pinkette's case.
"Sensei," Hinata spoke first. She'd been talking a lot more recently, at least from her teammates' standpoint. "Are we going to wear them all the time?"
"Not ALL the time," Naruto yawned. "Just as long as you're on missions, training and of course we'll increase them every four days."
"Wait, we have to wear these for over six hours?" Sakura asked feeling the weights around her ankles like ironed shackles forged in hellfire. Granted it wasn't unbearably heavy, but if this kept up . . . her legs would look all muscled up and gaudy. WHAT THE HELL WOULD SASUKE-KUN THINK!
"That's right, you girls are lucky to be honest," Naruto relayed. "My sensei were pretty much rougher."
"Wait, 'were'?" Ino caught on quickly. "You had more than one?"
"Perceptive," Naruto complimented, Ino took it without showing too much. "I was a... rare case. So I needed more than one teacher. But all of them had one thing in common."
"What was that?" Sakura asked, her mind eager to know more about the shinobi system. Fangirl she was yes, but a booksmart and eager kunoichi too.
"They all tried to kill me." On cue a wind began to blow from the western front. Like nocturnal shrieks of eerie horror they whispered in their ears. Tales of blood and death and torture.
"S-Sensei," Hinata didn't know everything about him, Yet. This was surprising to say the least. From what he'd told her, he had great teachers and got along with them well; there was never mention of any hatred or prejudice. "What do you mean they tried to kill you?"
"Exactly that."
"Why?" Hinata continued, Ino and Sakura mentally nodded. It was eating away at them. "Why would they do that?"
"To train me, duh." Naruto rolled his eyes. Honestly, his generation was filled with snowflakes.
"WHAT!" Ino screamed at him and Naruto had half a mind to shut her mouth by increasing the weights, Fun for later. "How is killing you equal to training you?"
"That's the point. They taught me all the ways a person could kill me, and there were times when I did think I was going to die. But I'm not kicking the bucket this soon. There are a few things I have to take care of before that." Visions of a couple appeared in his mind, along with blood and a full moon. A masked man stood in the distance, mockingly laughing at him. "Until then, I'll be the kind and perfect sensei that I am."
