The Kitsune Demon

If not for the quest reward Naruto wouldn't even go to the tournament but the chance to strengthen his bloodline was too good to pass up. As Naruto and Hinata left the school together they were stopped by Sakura and Ino who shouted at Naruto telling him to wait for them. Turning around Naruto saw the two girls come to a stop panting from their brief exertion.

" Is there a reason why both of you came running after me " Naruto questioned them while they caught their breath, " We wanted to see if you could help us become strong for the tournament? " Sakura said recovering first. Thinking it over Naruto couldn't find a reason not to help them, " Sure, follow me I have a place where we can go " Not waiting for them Naruto started to jog heading were he used to train with Kakashi. It took them longer than normal because Hinata and Naruto kept having to stop for Sakura and Ino who weren't used to such heavy exercise.

When they finally arrived at the river Naruto spoke once again while the duo recovered from the jog, " Since we only have a month we will have to prioritize your training. Now the both of you will fight against Hinata wearing these vests " Sakura and Ino were confused about how Naruto pulled out two bulk vests from nowhere but didn't question it as they each took one of the fore-mentioned vests. Both of them struggled to put the vest on as they were weighted but after a bit of struggling Ino and Sakura faced Hinata, " Isn't a little unfair that it's two against one " Sakura objected turning her attention to Naruto.

Sakura turned back to the fight when she heard Ino's cry of distress, Hinata had struck Ino in the stomach knocking the wind out of her. Gritting her teeth Sakura went to punch the purple-haired beauty but the weighted vest put her off balance and she missed Hinata completely. The next ten minutes was Hinata brutally beating Sakura and Ino into a sorry state, but it was extremely valuable for Naruto to see how the two girls fought. Whenever Sakura went to strike Hinata she made put all of her strength behind the strike with a surprising, Naruto was shocked when her fist made a crater in the ground. If she could land a solid hit on a person the fight would probably be over in one strike.

Ino, however, didn't fight with Hinata instead she tried to use mind transmission Jutsu but every time Hinata would doge and Ino would be stunned as her consciousness took a minute to return to her body. When Naruto had seen enough he stopped the fight giving Ino and Sakura a break, " As you can see the both of you have no coordination, no endurance, and certainly no chance of winning in the tournament. " Both of them gritted their teeth at his mockery but his next words took away their anger " That is what I expected, however, If you do as I say I promise you that within a month the two of you will place in the top ten. So what do you say "

When he saw the grin on there faces Naruto knew they would agree, little did they know that during their training Sakura and Ino would question why they would ever willingly agree to Narutos training. The rest of the day Naruto and Hinata broke the duo's bodies making Sakura and Ino go through the same training they had gone through with Xua and Yua. Every time Naruto thought the two would walk away they surprised him as they just gritted their teeth and soldiered on.
