To see Ino.

When he leaves his room, he's relieved to see that Hanabi and Tenten, though awake, are only slightly so. They're still on the couch, zoned out and staring at the ceiling with leaden eyes.

Naruto wonders where Kin has gone. She was in their room last night, right?

Out of habit, Naruto enters Ino's room, finding the "princess" snoring noisily, Tayuya on the bed beside her, facing the other way. Temari's sleeping naked in a folding chair on the bedside.

Naruto blushes as he realizes he's not wearing pants. His cock stirs to life.

It's strange, he thinks, leaving their room and returning to Tenten's so he can pick up his clothes and change, This is so surreal. Everyone is quiet. It's so peaceful.

Karin leaves the bathroom looking suitably groomed. They cross paths.

She whispers to him, "Thanks," as they pass.

Naruto's relieved, but a little regretful when his eyes catch her behind again. Karin is tightly built back there, and it's hard to fight the images of her sweaty nakedness in his mind.

When Naruto's morning routine is finished, Ino finally rises, a satisfied smile on her face. Business as usual, it seems.

"Alright," Ino says, to everyone, ? Naruto cal palpably feel everyone become alert at her command, "Today we will begin to complete the adding to my ranks. We will be taking control of an Inuzuka clansmen, the Hokage's assistant, and Sakura-chan. That will cement our powerbase for taking the Hokage."

Naruto goes pale.
