Naruto grinned as he looked at the two girls standing in front of him.
"Well… about the surprise."
Before either of them could ask anything else, Naruto lightly bumped their fists again.
Golden chakra instantly flowed through Naruto's body and into theirs.
The sensation was immediate.
Ino blinked in shock as warmth spread through her entire body.
"This chakra… it's so warm and comfortable."
Hinata placed a hand over her chest as she felt the same sensation.
"I can feel it too… Naruto-kun. It's healing the small injuries from training… and my stamina feels like it increased."
Golden chakra gently circulated through their chakra pathways.
Even their breathing became smoother.
Inside the seal, Kurama opened one eye and watched carefully.
"Hmm."
The massive fox narrowed his gaze at Naruto.
"Brat… your chakra control has reached an unknown level."
Naruto raised an eyebrow slightly.
Kurama continued with clear irritation.
"The chakra you're passing to them is pure Yang. Even I can't manipulate my chakra with that level of precision."
Naruto grinned proudly.
"Hehe… I had a breakthrough with my Six Eyes."
Kurama growled deeply.
"Monster… what kind of eyes are those?"
Naruto ignored the fox completely.
Instead he turned his attention back to the girls.
"Hinata, Ino… that chakra I gave you is pure Yang chakra."
Both girls listened carefully.
"It will increase your stamina, vitality, regeneration, and overall body growth."
Naruto crossed his arms confidently.
"So train harder from now on."
Hinata looked slightly worried.
"Naruto-kun… will this cause you any problems?"
Naruto immediately shook his head.
"Nope."
Then the world around them faded.
In the next moment, the three of them returned to the real training ground.
Naruto stretched his arms slightly before pulling out two kunai.
"And take these."
He handed one to each of them.
The kunai had a strange seal mark engraved on its handle.
"When you get home tonight, send a little chakra into it."
Ino looked at him suspiciously.
"And why would we do that?"
Naruto flicked her forehead lightly.
"Ouch!" Ino rubbed her head and glared at him.
Naruto smirked.
"So I can teleport you to my house."
Ino blinked.
"What?"
Naruto continued casually.
"I need to put a few seals on you."
Hinata tilted her head curiously.
"What kind of seals?"
Naruto began counting on his fingers.
"A wrist storage seal where you can store ninja tools or anything else you need."
Ino's eyes widened slightly.
"A chakra storage seal where you can store excess chakra."
Naruto continued.
"And a few others that will help you with training."
Hinata looked surprised.
"I have never heard of any seals like that."
Naruto grinned smugly.
"Well of course you haven't."
He pointed to himself.
"I created them."
Ino stared at him silently for a moment.
Then she started counting with her fingers.
"So let me get this straight."
Naruto raised an eyebrow.
Ino continued listing things.
"You're handsome."
Naruto nodded seriously.
"Correct."
"You have unmatched chakra control."
"Also correct."
"You're secretly a master of fuinjutsu."
Naruto smirked.
"Obviously."
"You're a Jinchūriki."
Naruto shrugged.
"Can't deny that."
"And you're number one in class… and the strongest in our generation."
Naruto grinned proudly.
"For now, yes."
Ino stared at him for another second before sighing.
"You're ridiculous."
Still, she took the kunai.
Hinata smiled softly and accepted hers as well.
Naruto waved at them as they left the training ground.
"See you tonight."
---
Naruto returned home soon after.
A shadow clone transformed into a civilian and went to purchase chakra ink.
Thanks to Naruto's perfect chakra control, the transformation was flawless.
Only an elite jōnin or a Kage could detect it.
Once the clone returned with the supplies, Naruto immediately got to work.
He placed a wrist storage seal on his own wrist first.
"Perfect."
Naruto grabbed a kunai.
It disappeared into the seal instantly.
He focused his chakra again.
The kunai appeared back in his hand.
"Instant storage and retrieval."
Naruto nodded approvingly.
"Works perfectly."
Next, Naruto opened a storage scroll.
Inside were several pieces of weighted training gear he had prepared earlier.
One set for Hinata.
One set for Ino.
And one for himself.
Naruto removed the original seals and replaced them with his own.
"This seal will adjust gravity on the body based on regeneration, chakra reserves, and physique."
He looked satisfied with the result.
"It will constantly force the body to grow stronger both internally and externally."
Naruto placed the equipment aside.
Just then, his senses reacted.
He felt chakra flowing into one of his Flying Thunder God markers.
Naruto smiled.
"Ino."
In the next instant—
Naruto disappeared.
And instantly reappeared again.
Ino stood in his room now, looking completely confused.
"What just happened?!"
She blinked repeatedly.
"It was so fast I couldn't even tell what happened!"
Naruto chuckled.
"That's the Flying Thunder God technique."
He picked up the marked kunai in his hand.
"It lets me teleport instantly to any place marked with my seal."
Ino stared at him in disbelief.
"That's cheating."
Naruto raised an eyebrow.
"How can a jutsu like that even exist?!"
Naruto shrugged casually.
"It just does."
Then he held out his hand.
"Alright, miss Yamanaka. Give me your hand."
Ino obeyed curiously.
Naruto gently held her wrist and began drawing a seal with chakra ink.
The seal glowed faintly before disappearing into her skin.
"There."
Ino looked at her wrist.
"So I just send chakra into it…"
She tried.
A kunai appeared inside the seal space.
Her eyes sparkled.
"And I can store or summon anything instantly?!"
Naruto grinned.
"Yep."
Ino suddenly jumped forward and kissed his cheek.
"You know how amazing this is?!"
Naruto laughed.
"Yes. That's why only you and Hinata are getting it."
He poked her forehead lightly.
"So no showing off."
Ino nodded obediently.
Then Naruto suddenly leaned forward and kissed her lips.
Ino froze completely.
Her face turned bright red.
"Y-you shameless guy!"
Naruto smirked.
"Where's the Ino who kissed me on the training ground?"
Ino covered her face.
"S-stupid…"
Naruto chuckled softly before handing her the gravity training gear.
"Keep this only for yourself."
Ino looked at the equipment curiously.
Naruto explained calmly.
"With pure Yang chakra and this gravity gear, your body will constantly grow stronger."
He tapped her forehead lightly.
"And your Yamanaka techniques won't damage your body anymore."
Ino blinked in surprise.
"You even knew about that?"
Naruto suddenly hugged her tightly.
His voice turned slightly serious.
"Girl… I will never let you hurt yourself."
Ino melted slightly in his arms.
She liked this side of Naruto.
Possessive.
Protective.
"Ohhh… how romantic."
Naruto rolled his eyes.
"Stop teasing."
He then placed another seal behind her neck, hidden by her hair.
"This seal will create a training space inside your mind."
Ino blinked.
"A training space?"
Naruto nodded.
"It will work like my mind space where Kurama lives."
He smirked slightly.
"But inside yours, time will move slower."
Ino's eyes sparkled.
"That's so cool!"
She was already imagining dozens of new mind techniques.
Naruto placed one final seal behind her ear.
Then his voice echoed inside her mind.
"Yo Ino… can you hear me?"
Ino's eyes widened.
"No way!"
She looked at Naruto in shock.
"Did you just create a telepathy seal?!"
She tried speaking in her mind.
But Naruto immediately heard her thoughts.
"This guy can be any more awesome? He looks so handsome when he's serious… I wanna kiss him."
Ino froze.
Her face instantly turned bright red.
Naruto was also blushing slightly.
"Well… you can control what you send using chakra."
Ino looked completely embarrassed.
"Hmm…"
Before she could recover, Naruto pulled her closer and kissed her again.
"Baka!" Ino shouted telepathically.
Naruto smirked.
"Didn't you want a kiss?"
Ino covered her face completely.
Naruto gently hugged her again.
This time she leaned into him quietly.
