Ino (1)

The flower was a woman, the woman was a flower.

That's what I thought when I first saw Ino Yamanaka. she had blond hair, styled in a ponytail that reached all the way to her slender waist, her eyes were ocean blue, the left side was covered with the bang of her hair, in fact, it covered half of her beautiful face, and oh, God, her attire, although it wasn't super revealing, compared to Tenten, she was the absolute winner. She wore a purple outfit that revealed her midriff, and she wore a mesh armor on her thighs, elbows, and knees, supported by an apron-like skirt.

I could see the outline of her body, sexy was the first thing to come into my mind, she was like a flower that attracted the bees, fighting one with another to get the taste of her honey. I felt bad, horrible, I subconsciously compared her with Tenten and realized how short-sighted I was, the dreamy woman of mine was not Tenten but Ino, and when I thought about it, I felt like I wanted to punch my own face.

Thankfully, I had the idea of a harem, it's a perfect solution for the confused heart in choosing the suitable mate, why just pick one when you could take both? Why selected 10 when you could have 100?

Un, the harem was perfect, no one had to be sad from being left behind, everybody rode the ship together.

By the way, the Yamanaka family although fairly distinguished due to their ability related to mind and the head of the clan's espionage team, they weren't really big, and they also ran a flower shop.

At the moment, Ino was at the front of the shop, grooming the flower on the display, inside my mind, Ino was like a mother, and these flowers were like her child, she's nurturing her own child at the moment, and well, sold them later, so I guessed it's not really a good comparison.

I thought how should I seduce this flower... I wondered if there were already many suitors from her side, making this pursuit very competitive.

After thinking for a while, I took out my phone and captured her image, afterward, I bought a pencil and a sketchbook, then I started drawing, it took me about 45 minutes to complete, and when I came back to the flower shop, she's still in the front of the store, thinking this was my chance, I extended my hand toward the sketchbook and said, "Move."

The book floated in the air, following the movement of my hand, I drifted it slowly toward her and purposely let the book fell on the top of her head, she immediately yelped at the hardcover that nudged her crown, looking slightly upset when she noticed it was a sketchbook that looked for trouble with her.

She picked it up and opened the book, realized the drawing on the first page was a cat, looked pretty horrible and cute at the same time, it's like a scrambling drawing but still recognizable. The second page was a flower, a little bit better, quite artistic in fact, and then the third page, it was her... thought only her neck and above.

"I am sorry, can you please return my sketchbook?" after looking at Ino opened the third page, I knew it was a cue for me to show up, and so I did.

Ino sent her glance to me, then looked back at the book, said, "You draw these?"

"Um, yeah."

"And is this me as your object?" she flipped the book and showed me the drawing I drew myself. It's not perfect, in fact, there were quite few scrabbling on it, but it was much better than the flower on the second page.

"That depends, do you like it?" I said with a bit unsure in my tone.

"Well, I don't dislike it," Ino curled the corner of her lips, looking at the sketch again.

"Then, yes, it's you," there was firmness in my tone.

"Haha, smooth," Ino giggled slightly, this meant she wasn't a stranger to a pickup line, I wondered if there were other guys used this kind of method before or she just knew my intention.

"Do you like drawing?" Ino asked with a curious tone.

"It's a new hobby," I stood on a couple of feet away from her, bending my body slightly to look at the flowers.

"Well, yes, I can see that... the cat's drawing is horrible..." Ino flipped back into the first page, adoringly looked at the weird cat.

"Un, I am looking for inspiration to improve my drawing."

"That makes me your third object? I can see it's not yet great, but it's not horrible," she looked at the drawing of herself again.

"Somewhat between you and Sakura," I secretly smirked, I knew the rivalry between them, and it's the good way to pull her into a bait.

"What?!" sure enough, she was a little upset, the beautiful face complained, "is that means Sakura is going to be your fourth object?"

Yes, she could make the connection, since my drawing from the cat to her was improved each time, this meant Sakura's sketch would be much better than Ino's sketch, that's definitely something unforgivable for her.

"Um, you got it right," I nodded.

"That's..." Ino seemed wanted to say something, but she decided not to continue in the end, naturally, I knew what she wanted to request, yet she couldn't out of embarrassment.

"You know, I always want to know how to groom a flower..." I extended my hand and caressed the flower in front of me slightly, I circulated the mana into my hand and whispered, "Life."

All of a sudden, the flower in hand swayed along with the caress of my hand, it's a kitten was purring, or a puppy was wagging its tail.

Ino was obviously startled at this, a man and a flower became harmonized with one another that was like a mysterious illusion but actually real in front of her eyes, she couldn't help but stare at me, somewhat became enchanted.

"I... I can help you," Ino declined her face, said lowly.

I glanced at the girl with a smug on my lips, hum, you little girl, eventually hooked by this master's seduction, this master felt proud.

I erased the smug smile and replaced with a gentle one, said excitedly, "Really?'

Ino nodded, then she lifted her face, said, "But, if only you make me your object to improve your drawing."

"Uh..." I was immediately taken aback, pretended thinking harder like I was trying to win a chess game, which I never did actually, why king was so useless than Queen?!

Ino looked at me with bashful eyes, there was a slight hope within.

"Deal!" I nodded eventually, actually if you thought about it, all of these were a win-win only to me; I could get closer with this flower, I could learn how to cultivate a real flower, and I could improve my drawing, which I actually didn't need anymore, I was a pro.

"Yeah!" Ino cheered excitedly, perhaps in her mind, this was her winning from Sakura, in fact, she didn't know she just entered a tiger mouth... why this made me sounded like a bad guy?

"When do we start?" She walked to me and handed my sketchbook back.

Hmm... how should I draw her? Naked? Semi-naked? Sexy posture? Perhaps eating apple sexily? Ufufu, my imagination ran wild.

"Well, when are you free?" I tried to suppress the beast nature inside me, you must treat a flower with gentleness.

"Huh... how about the afternoon?"

"Sounds fair," I thought for a while, then said, "I'll pick you up later."

"W-will you?" Ino's pair of cheek turned red, right, a man picked up a woman from their house was usually a sign of date.

I nodded firmly which made Ino's blush turned redder, she said in a mumble, "Then please."

Afterward, we separated for a while, along the way, I was deep in my thought, it seemed I miscalculated Ino, compared to Tenten, she's more open in romantical perspective, which getting her actually seemed easier than Tenten, but anyway, I had poached two women, Sakura was out of the village and Hinata was on the mission. So this left me with nothing to do for a while, maybe I should just cultivate my Qi or pondering a new spell, it's been a long time since I didn't create anything, I believed there were many things in this world could I take inspire of.

Or maybe I should find a way to make money? I was rather on a pinch here, if I wanted to soak women, I needed at least a lot of capital to support it, there was no harem for the poor.

There were several quick cash grab methods but the most lucrative one in this world was to hunt a missing-nin or defected Shinobi.

Should I just went on and grabbed this Sasuke Uchiha? He's the most wanted at the moment, and he was with Orochimaru and Kabuto, both were Konoha's high-profile missing-nin.

Itachi Uchiha related to Akatsuki... although it wasn't clear yet, I had a feeling the rest of their member was definitely super strong, it was not wise to bring fight openly with them.

I took out the missing-nin book and flipped on the pages, I decided my first target would this water-user shinobi, the reward was enough to make me eat for the entire month, and somewhat I just remembered that I didn't have a home here wasn't I? Otherwise, I would have not appeared in the middle of the forest.

Therefore, getting money was important for me now, without much hesitation, I started looking for information about this guy...

3 hours later...

So I got the guy and hunted him down, done and simple, I earned my reward and rented a small apartment, the building at least looked decent and the neighborhood wasn't like a graveyard, as I entered my new house, it was originally just a bedroom with a bathroom, no kitchen or living room whatsoever.

"Expand," I slapped my palm onto the floor and now it was like a presidential suite place, I also expanded the bathroom and enlarged the bed, yup, this became a place worthy to bring a woman into.

I only needed an entertainment system, a refrigerator, and a kitchen set, then all would be set.

It was close to the afternoon now, I should pick Ino anytime now, I took out my phone, there was no notification of adding Ino into the chat, it seemed like I need to raise her affection for 30% first, just like Tenten.

I checked on Tenten's chat, and I couldn't help but widen my eyes in surprise.
