As Naruto walked through the streets of Konoha for the very last time, he noted what a great morning it was. I couldn't ask for a more perfect morning than this to be my final one... Naruto mused.

"Naruto?" A feminine voice questioned. Naruto mentally groaned as he turned to face Ino.

"Oh hey Ino, what's up?"

"What are you doing here?" Ino questioned. She knew about Sakura's plan, and she realized that the plan was absolutely fool proof. When Sakura told Ino of her plan, Ino realized that there was no way Naruto would not become Sakura's slave.

"Oh you know... Just enjoying a walk." Naruto lied.

"Did your master give you permission?" Ino asked with her eyebrow raised in suspicion.

Naruto's eyes widened. "You know about that?"

"What? Oh, of course I do you idiot. Sakura told me all about her plan, I was actually going to come over and help break you in yesterday but she never contacted me..." Ino replied.

"WHAT?!" Naruto gasped.

Ino gave Naruto a smile. Truthfully, she had no problems with the blond-haired boy. If anything, she was actually kind of grateful to him. Naruto was a big reason why Sakura was so confident, he would always sing her praises whenever she started to doubt herself. Ino wasn't even sure if Sakura realized that. But Ino always wanted a foot slave, she loves dominating men with her feet, so there was no way in hell she would've tried to stop Sakura from going through with her plan.

Besides, Ino knew how much Naruto loved Sakura and she figured he would eventually come to enjoy being Sakura's slave. He already acted like her bitch, and that made Ino suspect that he had submissive tendencies.

"Yep, now answer my question before I call your mistress." Ino replied with a smile.

Naruto's brain went into overdrive. He needed a lie that Ino would believe. If Ino figured out what he was up to, then Sakura would know quickly and his opportunity would be lost.

"Fine you got me." Naruto sighed as a perfect lie came to mind. "Sakura doesn't know about this, she's at work. It's just... I have some things at my apartment that Sakura has always liked and I noticed she didn't have anything like those around hers. So I'm going to get them and bring them to her apartment to surprise her when she returns from work."

Ino smiled brightly at Naruto. "Aww that's so sweet! I'm glad you're embracing being Sakura's slave so full-heartedly. I knew you would like being her slave, I was just worried that you would try to resist at first. You know how Sakura can get with that temper of hers..."

Naruto put a fake grin on his face and scratched the back of his head. "Hehe, yea, but that's Sakura-chan."

"But seriously Naruto, you need to be careful with this. If Sakura got wind that you were out against her orders she would be furious. I know for a fact that she fully intends to make you her complete slave. She won't react very well if she finds out you disobeyed her orders."

"Aww come on Ino, this is for a good cause!" Naruto whined.

Ino chuckled and patted Naruto's head. "I know it is, and it's sweet which is why I'm going to let it slide for now. But to repay me I expect my feet to be absolutely spotless whenever I come over to play with you ok?"

Naruto nodded his head and gave Ino another forced smile. "Deal! Thanks Ino!"

Ino chuckled. Sakura really had broken Naruto in already. She expected some sort of reaction from him when she said he would have to clean her feet, but he just accepted it in stride. She was definitely going to compliment Sakura on a job well done when she got to the hospital. She just needed to figure out how to do it without alerting Sakura to the fact that Naruto had disobeyed her orders. Ino didn't want Sakura killing Naruto after all..."

"Oh and Naruto, you might want to think up an excuse as to how your stuff got in her apartment. An excuse that doesn't revolve around you breaking her orders. I wouldn't want Sakura to kill you before I get a chance to use you as my foot slave!"

Naruto nodded and gave Ino yet another grin. "Thanks for the advice Ino, I'll be sure to do that."

Ino patted Naruto's head one last time.

"See you Naruto!" She smiled and resumed her walk to the hospital.

"Goodbye Ino." Naruto replied. Ino had no idea that he was actually saying goodbye for the last time...

Naruto let out a sigh of relief, he had managed to make it past Ino. He was home free now. He resumed his walk to his apartment.
