She can hardly believe what Naruto is offering, and she is definitely interested!

They carried her to the ramen stand, and rested her against a seat. "So... Do we just wait for her to wake up?" Naruto asked her.

"Yeah, that seems best," Sakura nodded, before Naruto approached Ayame, who stood behind the stand.

"Hey, sorry to bother you," he waved to her, getting her to turn to him and give him a warm smile, showing that he had her ear. "But can Hinata rest here for a moment?" he asked Ayame. "She passed out... Guess the heat got to her or something. Which... Actually isn't a surprise, given the jacket she's wearing..." he added, pretending to not know about Hinata's crush.

Ayame held back a sigh at Naruto's obliviousness, and replied, "Of course, Naruto. Happy to lend a hand, or a seat in this case."

"Thanks! Oh, and while we're here!" Naruto grinned, before proceeding to order several bowls of ramen.

"Coming right up~!" Ayame nodded with a grin, and headed to the back to prep the ingredients.

"...Naruto, didn't you just have some cupped ramen for breakfast back home?" Sakura asked Naruto skeptically, using his name in public. Thankfully, he had actually thought of that before they left.

Naruto paused and turned to look at her, genuinely confused. "...what's your point, exactly?" he inquired.

"... nevermind," she shook her head fondly. Once Naruto was served the bowls and started eating, Sakura took a moment to look Ayame over. Yep, definitely recommending that he try to recruit her for the harem later.

...

Hinata slowly stirred, several minutes later. Her eyes opened, just in time to see Naruto pay Teuchi, who had come back from an ingredients run and left Ayame in charge. She flushed, realizing Naruto was still around. "Oh... N-Naruto," she stammered out.

"Oh, hi again, Hinata!" he grinned, and realizing she was in danger of fainting all over again, quickly said, "Hey, can we go somewhere private? I wanna talk to you about something confidential."

Hinata's face invented a new shade of red, and yet, instead of passing out like she was afraid of, she felt oddly alert now. Naruto had started the process of asking her, after all, not that she knew that. "O-oh, um... Sure," she answered nervously.

He nodded, and she eeped as he took her hand, and led her towards one of the more secluded training grounds that weren't often used by most Shinobi, due to the fact that they were often used by Team Guy, which, he had heard in passing, were out on a mission, so it seemed safe enough. Sakura followed after her.

Hinata's heart was pounding so hard, she was a little worried it might actually manage to escape her chest. "Don'tfaintdon'tfaintdon'tfaintdon'tfaintdon'tfaint!" she was chanting in her mind desperately, unaware that she was currently in no danger of doing so. They reached the training grounds, and Naruto looked about, making sure they were alone, before turning to Hinata, Sakura immediately getting behind her, and embracing her from behind, cupping her breasts through her jacket. "Eeek! Sakura, what are you doing!?" Hinata yelped, jumping away as Naruto face palmed.

"...Sakura, when I said, "straightforward," I didn't mean THAT straightforward..." he chided her.

"Sorry Master, couldn't resist... Her body is just so enticing!" Sakura pouted playfully, stepping back with her hands behind her back, casually turning her legs back into her tail, which stretched to his bag, and entered to find the Lamp spout.

""Master?" W-what's going on? A-and... Wait, what happened to your legs!?" Hinata yelped, backing up a bit, staring at the tail, momentarily shocked out of her stutter. Naruto decided to let Sakura start the explaining for now, as he was feeling a bit awkward. He'd let Sakura's shameless attitude handle it for now.

"Oh, they're fine, just in limbo at the moment~!" Sakura winked. "This is my genie tail!"

"...g-genie tail?" Hinata asked, approaching cautiously, and with one closed hand over her chest in a shy stance, her other hand moved tentatively to the tail, poking it with a finger. Instead of passing through, it felt... Soft, but solid. Almost... Velvety. Sakura giggled.

"Oh, that feels good~!" Sakura teased Hinata, who flushed deeper and stepped back. "For context though, I found a magic Lamp, and it turned me into a Sex Genie! I'm basically now a magical **** that grants sexual wishes! Naruto then found the Lamp, and he is now my Master!"

"...um... WHAT!?" Hinata summed up her thought process succinctly.

"Yeah... it's hard to believe. It also made her submissive and eager to please," Naruto added, blushing as he scratched his cheek with an index finger, looking away.

"Yep~! It's amazing too! And I'm completely sexually uninhibited! All societal and arbitrary norms? They mean nothing to me now!" Sakura added. "Totally liberated from indoctrination! I now get that nothing that happens between consenting adults is wrong, and other people have no business judging it!"

"Erm... Okay?" Hinata asked. "So... Um... W-why are y-you telling me th-this?" she stammered out.

"Well... Sakura wants to... Uh... Expand," Naruto replied, a bit awkwardly. "She mentioned you had a crush on me, so she suggested we ask you first..."

"Eh!?" Hinata whirled on Sakura, who was laughing hysterically. "Why would you tell him that!?" she shrieked, embarrassed as she grabbed Sakura's shoulders and started shaking her. "That was personal!"

"In my defense, you did a poor job of hiding it~!" Sakura tittered. "Only Master's obliviousness hid it from him!"

"Oh my god, just kill me now!" Hinata freaked, her hands on her cheeks. If her face was any hotter, her hands would be steaming on contact.

...

It took about ten minutes, but they finally managed to calm Hinata down, and answered all of her questions. She was sitting on a stump, her mind reeling with the implications. "...you... Want me, N-Naruto?" she finally asked, barely daring to believe it.

"...yes... I do. And... I'm sorry I never noticed you before..." Naruto replied. "But looking back, I really can see what I had missed, all this time. I'm really a big dummy, aren't I?"

"N-no, you aren't!" Hinata denied.

"... seriously Hinata?" Sakura asked her flatly. "It's not like you are interested in him for brains, so you can still like a guy while acknowledging that he is a total nincompoop..."

Hinata pouted at Sakura, but didn't argue. "So... Are you interested?" Naruto asked Hinata.

"We can totally do something about your shyness too, if you want!" Sakura added. "I wouldn't remove your embarrassment entirely, but I can add a bit of boldness to you!"
