Yes, with not a second to lose

"Hmmmm. I admit I'd be furious if I was locked out naked and someone wasn't letting me in. I'll tell you what..."

Sakura looked up hopefully but Ino was gone from the window.

'That Bitch!' Inner Sakura screamed.

Ino abandoned Sakura. She stifled a sob and turned from the street to hide, leaning desperately on the door. She could hear footsteps getting louder, like subtle beats of a humiliation drum. Was it Naruto? Sakura hoped not. On the other hand, if it wasn't, some stranger was going to see her naked, and Sakura couldn't decide if that was better or worse.

Right before whoever it was rounded the corner to see her, Sakura felt the door open and she fell face first into her house. The door shut quickly as Sakura picked herself up. Ino looked smug standing above her, holding out a smaller towel than the one she was recently parted from. Sakura begrudgingly took it and held it in front as cover. It could barely cover from the top of her nipples to the very bottom of her unshaven vagina.

"That wasn't funny, Ino! I seriously could have been seen by someone! Now turn around so I can put this on."

Ino's retort was lost as someone pounded loudly on the door. Ino smiled and moved to open it as Sakura hastily wrapped the towel around her exposed body, making do with a loose knot just barely keeping her dignity intact. Just in time, too. She turned to see Naruto standing there, without Hinata. Ino walked off and sat down in a chair, enjoying the awkward situation she had plugged Sakura into. Sakura inwardly thanks the stars (but never Ino) that she had been let inside. It was him who was about two seconds from seeing her in all her naked glory. Naruto looked confused for a moment at why Ino was there, but then he ogled Sakura's towel for a moment before snapping his eyes back to hers. Sakura's blush gave away her embarrassment at being clothed so little around him.

"Hey Sakura, are you ready to go? Hinata said she wasn't feeling well, so it's just the two of us. Kind of like a date!" His enthusiasm was as annoying as ever.

'Damn, so it is true. Hinata just couldn't handle a day with him after all.' Inner grumbled. Her plan had failed. Angrily, she corrected him, "It's not a date you dope!"

Of course, the truth was that Sakura's original plan had been to use the excuse of the social female nudity of the baths to loudly talk about Hinata's assets and general attractiveness while sitting in a spring right next to the male/female partition, knowing full well that Naruto wouldn't be able to resist listening in. She'd hoped that talking Hinata up in a reasonable setting for it would raise the boy's interests. Unfortunately that had spectacularly backfired.

Naruto merely shrugged it off. "Whatever you say. Are you ready to go?"

"Of course no-" Sakura began, but was cut off by Ino suddenly interjecting.

"Oh yeah, she's ready to go." She reached over and started Sakura by her towel, forcing her to follow else she end up exposed again. Sakura desperately held on to the knot, trying to ensure it wouldn't fail. Right as Ino shoved the pair out the door, she yelled "You two have a good time!" after them and slammed the door.

Sakura gulped as she heard the distinct sound of the lock turning. Naruto piped up in a malicious tone he obviously meant to sound innocent. "So uh, Sakura, are you wearing anything under that towel?"

She slapped him. What now? She seemingly had to go with Naruto to the hot springs, which would be bad enough, but she now had to traverse there in nothing but a small towel in a loose knot.
