Push your luck?

Naruto said, "Honestly, I don't want to pick any ONE of you, because I'd go with all three of you if I could."

Ino said, "What are you saying? You don't want to choose any one person?"

"Yes! That's what I'm saying. I think you're all pretty great and I'd actually go out with any one of you happily."

All three girls stood there; glad that he would have chosen each of them, but something still bothered Ino. She turned to the other girls and said, "You two should just give it up, because if I remember correctly, Naruto gave me one hell of a compliment earlier."

TenTen said, "Uhm, sorry Ino, but he complimented me too if you 'remember correctly.'"

Temari threw her two cents in and said, "He complimented me as well."

"I still say mine was the best, because he said he'd be THRILLED to get flowers from me," Ino said.

"You're full of it, because he said he'd jump over the MOON for ME," TenTen shot at her.

"I think you're both stupid, because he said he'd have heart failure if I gave him flowers ? but in a good way!" Temari said, then the three girls began arguing loudly again.

Naruto was again stunned to silence that the three girls were fighting over him. He'd given them each a heartfelt compliment and now they were fighting over whose was best! And he wondered why he didn't understand women.

Temari broke away from the argument and said, "Just tell us Naruto, who you gave the best compliment to."

TenTen and Ino both nodded. All three waited for his response.

Naruto was again faced with a decision that he dreaded making. He didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings. He had sincerely meant each compliment when he had said to them. So he said to the group, "I don't think any compliment I gave you was any better than anyone else's. Each one was sincerely meant for each of you. So I don't think any of them were any greater than the rest."

All three girls thought about that for a minute. TenTen finally said, "Could you just please tell us which one of us you like best?"

Temari said, "Yeah, I'd like to know that too."

"I don't know why you even have to ask him ladies, because he OBVIOUSLY likes me best," Ino said.

Then the three of them started talking all at once again, while they moved toward him. Naruto quickly got overwhelmed as they started grabbing at his arms while talking to him, trying to get him to pick them. Naruto didn't know who to choose, nor did he know if he wanted to choose any of them. And they called HIM an idiot. THEY were all acting like idiots as far as he was concerned. But they were demanding an answer, so he blurted out...
