An Intense Workout

“See that booth over there” Sakura conspiratorially whispered to Ino as she pointed to a spot just close enough to easy drop, but out of view of both Hinata and Naruto.

Ino shuffled her feet forward. She hated how she knew there was no way to get out of this, at least not with out arousing Sakura’s suspicion. Sakura knew that Shikamaru was at some clan function because he kept complaining the week prior. And Choji has been gone for the last three days running a C-rank escort mission with Asuma. So, forcing a grin…Ino feigned enthusiasm and slid into the booth. The blond tightly pressed her thighs together and remembered when it all started to go downhill.

Ino strode into the clearing behind training ground twenty-seven. It had been a few days since she had really put her taijutsu skills to the test and it never hurt to keep in shape. Plus, on a bright sunny day like this, there were bound to be a few other Shinobi with the same idea. Call Ino vain, but she could appreciate how her workout outfit drew an extremely flattering outline of her curves. With her dark purple top accentuating her breasts; while, at the same time, her tight black pants gave her ass some great framing. And there was something flattering about getting a few extra hits in just because your opponent suddenly developed a wondering eye.

However, instead of a field full of ninja training, in the middle of the clearing was only one blond spikey haired ninja doing push-ups. Ino felt her heart skip a beat before continuing to walk forward. She felt that pleasant sensation she had quickly come to associate with Naruto start to overwhelm her. Reflexively, a lascivious grin formed on her face and her eyes locked in on the perfect spot to start her workout. Placing her hands and feet on the ground, she started her own set right next to her fellow blond. Ino felt a little sting after the first couple dozen push-ups. Although still a strong ninja, Ino knew that her forte was in ninjutsu and infiltration rather than hand to hand fighting. In order to distract herself, she started looking over the training field. However, she quickly grew bored looking at the same tree line and rock formations.

She turned to see how her fellow blond was holding up and maybe ask if he wanted to take a break when her breathing hitched. She looked over to see Naruto focused on his routine. His eyes were locked forward as his body moved up and down in one clean motion. Her gaze slowly moved from his face towards his chest muscles that were still visible even under his coat. She suddenly felt how dry her lips were.

It was a distracting rhythm of up and down, up and down. As sweat began to build up, Ino could feel her own abs start to show through her shirt. She looked further up to gaze at Naruto’s arms. Ino started to trace the toned outline of muscle that appeared every time his arms pushed down and back up. And slowly the up and down became a different kind of rhythm in Ino’s mind as her eyes started to slowly make their way further south…

“Hey Ino,” Naruto suddenly said, pulling her out of her reverie,” I didn’t realize you were trying to beat bushy brows.” Naruto grinned as he slowly got up and stretched out his arms. To Ino’s delight, he took off his overcoat giving Ino an unobstructed view of his toned stomach and pecs.

After taking a moment to enjoy the sight, Ino finally parsed out what Naruto meant. It was as if her body finally realized it should be in pain. Her arms and abs flared. She let out a minor wince as she started to rub her aching muscles. “I think I overdid it on that set,” Ino said, panting slightly. She tried to figure out how long she had been working out for or even how fast, but the only thing her mind could conjure up was an intense image of Naruto’s muscles.

Naruto tilted his head before moving his hands forward to cover Ino’s biceps. His palms started to glow a faint green and a pleasant shudder crawled through Ino’s body from the tips of her toes to the top of her head. “Now how does that feel?” Naruto asked as he slowly released her arm.

Ino experimentally stretched out her body by placing one arm over her shoulder. She waited for any kind of pain, but only felt a pleasant afterglow. “Wow, since when did you know any healing jutsu?”

“That’s a secret” Naruto chuckled as he looked over his handy work.

Ino couldn’t help but roll her eyes and give him a little show as she lifted both arms high above her head and arched her back straight in an exaggerated stretch. “Well, then how about a spar as thanks?”
