He has an idea.

"Umm, listen Ino, can I talk to you in private?" he looks back at Tenten and smiles shyly.

"Umm... I guess," she can't find an objection to it, "My room's OK?" she pauses, and laughs at Tenten's expression, "Relax, I don't want to steal your boyfriend,"

"Whatever," uncomfortable Tenten grumbles, "I'm going to go change,"

"You do that," Ino nods, showing Naruto where her room is.

Silently they leave the room and enter Ino's bedroom, closing the door behind them.

Ino sits on the bed cross legged, offering Naruto a small seat bedside.

"Umm I'm sorry for doing this to you and Tenten, Ino, it's just... Tenten and I are a little confused how it happened, and I would really appreciate it if you held off telling people for some time... and..."

"Naruto, you're a dunce. Of course things are going to be awkward," Ino sighs.

"No, umm... anyway, I have an idea on how to convince you."

"You do huh? Well, what is it?"

"Mind techniques."

"Mind techniques?"

"Yeah, isn't your clan master of... umm I don't remember the name..."

"Shinranshin no Justu?"

"Umm yeah..."

"Well, maybe... I thought, if you could look at my memories... maybe," he blushes, "It would help make you understand?"

Ino crosses her arms, "It's certainly possible Naruto, but I don't know if I want to know that much about your love life."

"Please Ino... you'd seen how confused I am... maybe you can help us."

She sighs, "Oh alright. But I'm not doing it for you. If anything, I'll do it for Tenten's sake."

Naruto sighs in relief.

"Thanks," he nods, "So what do I have to do?"

"Nothing, really, just sit still and I'll perform the technique on you. I'll find you inside your mind right away, and then we can access your memories. I've done it tons of times."

"Oh, good," Naruto is relieved.

Ino stars making several signs with her hands, focusing on Naruto eyes squaredly.

"Shiranshin no jutsu!"
