CHAPTER 27:MEMORABLE DATE
"Thank you all for your amazing support and for gifting me Powerstones! As a token of appreciation, here's an exclusive bonus chapter for you in Webnovel!"
Naruto arrived at Ichiraku Ramen 15 minutes early, excitement building up inside him:
He pushed open the door, sliding into the cozy restaurant and his eyes widened instantly:
Ino was already seated, looking stunning – her hair styled differently, wearing a bright yellow sundress.
Naruto's jaw slightly dropped – he hadn't seen Ino dressed up like this before – she usually wore her ninja attire or casual clothes.
Ino noticed his entrance and smiled warmly, waving him over:
"Naruto – perfect timing! Teuchi-san already knows our order – Ichiraku Special Ramen for both!"
Naruto slid into the seat across from her, still taking in her appearance:
"Ino, you look... amazing today!" he exclaimed sincerely.
Ino's cheeks flushed softly – clearly pleased by Naruto's compliment:
"Thanks, Naruto – wanted to dress up for our... date," she said softly, eyes sparkling.
Teuchi, the owner, arrived with their steaming hot ramen – Naruto dug in eagerly, savoring flavors while chatting with Ino –
Their conversation flowed easily – laughter and smiles exchanged frequently – Naruto feeling surprisingly comfortable with Ino like this.

Naruto finished his ramen, satisfied with the delicious meal and enjoyable company:
Ino smiled, pushing her empty bowl away:
"Thanks for lunch, Naruto – Ichiraku never disappoints! Now, want to take a walk with me?"
Naruto nodded eagerly:
"Always up for a walk with you, Ino – where to?"
Ino's eyes sparkled mischievously:
"The Hokage Monument – it's nearby and beautiful this time of day. Plus... I want to talk to you about something there."
Naruto's curiosity piqued – he stood up, offering his arm gently:
"Hokage Monument it is – lead the way, Ino. What's on your mind?"
Ino took his arm lightly, walking beside him through the village streets –
The Hokage Monument came into view – a grand stone structure honoring past Hokages, surrounded by serene gardens.
Ino stopped before the monument, turning to Naruto with a serious yet soft expression:
"Naruto, yesterday... and today – I've really enjoyed spending time with you. As more than friends..."
Naruto's heart skipped a beat – her words hung in the air like a gentle challenge –
Just as Ino was about to confess her feelings to Naruto, Sakura appeared behind them:
Sakura's voice cut through the tense atmosphere:
"Ino, what are you doing here with Naruto? Coincidence or...?"
**Inside Sakura's mind, Kokoro's voice cheered silently:**
"Yes! Perfect timing – destroying Ino's romantic moment with Naruto... My plan unfolding beautifully!"
Kokoro gave a mental thumbs-up, observing Naruto's confused expression –
Ino's eyes narrowed slightly at Sakura's interruption:
"None of your business, Sakura – Naruto and I were just discussing... village matters."
Sakura raised an eyebrow, tone dripping with skepticism:
"Village matters – with him walking you home from Ichiraku Ramen and standing so close?"
Ino's face flushed with annoyance:
"Sakura, mind your own relationships – or lack thereof – Naruto and I can handle ours!"
The verbal sparring continued until –
Naruto intervened, looking uncomfortable:
"Hey guys, I should head home – see you both later, okay?"
Naruto nodded at Ino, then turned to leave – Ino watched him go, feeling frustrated –
Her eyes snapped back to Sakura, resentment burning:
"Thanks for nothing, Sakura – your timing was perfect... for ruining everything."
Sakura smiled sweetly, Kokoro's voice echoing in her mind:
"Anytime, Ino – Naruto's attention remains divided... now slightly more focused on me."
