Naruto gets pissed

In the back of his mind, Naruto felt something familliar bubble up: anger. He hadn't felt it in a while, not since he'd been given his team, but now it returned, red hot and ready to blow.

"Oh, so it's okay when you fuck with me, but not okay when I decide to see someone else?" Naruto growled, his voice so low that only Ino could hear it.

Ino turned, shock and a little bit of her own anger on her face. "You little-"

"Now listen to me, Ino." She was rocked back again, this time by the lack of the usual suffix. "I'd be fine with you ending your lessons. I'd be alright with that, even though I thought we were, you know, bonding."

"But what I'm not alright with is this... this bitchy side that's come out. You're offended that I picked a girl that likes me, and I like, instead of slavishly chasing after you. Tough shit."

"How do you think I felt?" Naruto continued, his voice raising unconciously. "Knowing I'm just a fucking practice dummy for you, and at the first moment availible, you're going to drop me for a fucking prima donna who can't string two words together."

Naruto shook his head, clearing out some of the anger that still lurked there. Or, at least, bringing it back under control. "But if that's how you want it, fine. Bring back my stuff to my house later, and after that, we'll never talk outside of missions again. That should at least make you happy. Wouldn't want Sasuke to get the wrong idea."

He turned back to the fence, leaving a gaping Ino staring at his back.
