Ayame appeared before Naruto as he walked toward his house, looking a little nervous but still stepping closer to greet him.
"Hello, Naruto."
Naruto turned his gaze toward her and replied, "Haa… Ayame. What brings you here?"
Holding the packed ramen carefully in her hands, Ayame explained, "My dad wanted to say sorry to you from his side and that he got bewitched by Sakura. He packed ramen for you to eat."
Naruto looked at the ramen and then back at Ayame, his voice calm and almost indifferent as he answered. "Ohh… it's okay. Old man is always kind to me. It's not a big deal."
He did not look angry, when he addressed Teuchi, because to Naruto, the ramen shop owner was one of the very few people in Konoha who had shown kindness to this body even when the rest of the village treated him like a monster.
Looking at Ayame more seriously, he added, "Ayame… can you come after my Chunin Exams? I will cure you completely… but there's a condition you have to fulfill for it."
"What condition?" Ayame asked, her eyes widening slightly.
Naruto's expression did not change at all as he stated, "If you want a cure?… If you want power to learn ninjutsu?… Become my maid."
[Soon...after thier Ramen meeting...Naruto thaught some ninja techniques to her....but she is unble to learn even basics also, Ino who is along with them also equally shocked...then naruto looking at ayame said, that her body is not fit to learn ninjutsu..may be she can excel in other ninja ways like fuinjutsu, Genjutsu and Taijutsu. Naruto got complete picture after learning the info from Teuchi, about Ayame body condition.]
As Ayame froze in place, Naruto continued in a calm and direct tone. "You may not take it well... but to completely heal you ...I need to have sex with you. I have a fire which is rare Yang fire which will fully heal you after having sex with you. Think about all this and come after you've made a decision."
Ayame's cheeks flushed, and she could not respond immediately because the offer was entirely too sudden and heavy. It was not just a cure, but a demand for submission, and Naruto was speaking like someone who fully understood the exact value of what he was offering rather than a normal teenage boy. There is no ounce of embarassment in Naruto face.
Without waiting for her answer, Naruto turned toward his house and said, "Now I want to practice. Can you leave by walking the same side and tell your dad I accepted his apology? You can place the ramen on the table outside, and I will eat it."
Ayame nodded silently, placing the ramen on the outside table before slowly making her way back home with a mind filled with chaotic thoughts.
Walking inside, Naruto looked at Haku and took out several food pills, each potent enough that a single one could replace all meals a day. He handed them over, instructing, "I want to go into seclusion for four days, so take these and guard me."
"Yes, Master," Haku accepted obediently.
The two of them walked outside, where Naruto pointed toward a flat area directly in front of the house, and told Haku. " Prepare a small hut for me, to live four-days as seclusion."
Haku immediately set to work, preparing the structure exactly as instructed. Once it was finished, Naruto entered the small hut with the intention of purifying his available qi and gathering as much natural qi as his body could safely hold. Although opening all the meridians in his body would cause his cultivation to skyrocket, Naruto did not want to rush blindly and preferred to wait until the Body Purification Pill was completed. For now, his solitary goal was to purify his qi, absorb natural energy, and prepare his weak body for the next necessary step.

Meanwhile, Sakura who was at her home, had a heavy heart, her thoughts drifting to memories of Naruto's childhood. She recalled how the village and her mom had discarded him, treating him like a monster and nuicance and avoiding him as he wandered the streets completely alone.
To a person, like that....Teuchi gave food. Sometimes, he would eat at Ichiraku Ramen stand even without the money to pay properly, yet Teuchi had always allowed him to eat and shown him genuine kindness.
Her chest tightened at the realization. 'Now I destroyed the only people who gave him food and kindness, so he is angrier toward me… that's acceptable.'
Her steps slowed as she paced in her room towards the wall, wondering why she had acted that way.
'Naruto made it clear to me, that he would teach in his own way, before accepting me as disciple and I had accepted it, but I become impatient and failed to respect him properly as my teacher.'
'It seems I was wrong, not Naruto. I was the one who asked him to take me as his disciple, so I have to bear it…what ever he does..... I need to say sorry to him or even beg him to accept me again.'
However, her inner self quickly questioned.
'cha.....why I should merely bear it, instead of finding joy in the process to make naruto helpless.'
Pausing in her tracks, the memory of what had happened earlier returned to her vividly—the cold sensation of being controlled, her body trapped in ice, and her neck forced down while her strength proved completely useless to break it. She had been watching entirely helpless, unable to resist or do anything to defend herself when Ice covered her and when she was moved to Konaha streets from forest.
Her breathing grew heavier as she realized that if someone other than Naruto had trapped her in ice or anything, and forced her down, she would have been equally powerless.
Clenching her hand into a tight fist, Sakura slammed her hands against the wall with a loud thud. The pain spread through her knuckles, but Sakura did not care, as her resolve only hardened further.
'I would rather be his servant and become strong than be weak and helpless.'
Opening the scroll Naruto had given her,...she thought, Lets see how powerful is this technique.
Sakura instantly started practicing....Two days passed.
After relentlessly practicing the breathing technique, Sakura began to feel entirely different, having almost perfected the method despite a few minor lingering mistakes. Her chakra flowed much smoother, her control felt distinctly cleaner, and even her chakra reserves seemed to have increased slightly. The change was not imaginary, as Sakura could clearly feel the newfound power flowing through her body.
Although she wanted to show the technique to her father, she immediately stopped herself to avoid angering Naruto. Even if he never found out, she did not want to take any chances anymore and instead wished to visit Naruto to show her utmost respect while asking about her remaining doubts.
'I don't know how he got a technique like this. Lately... He becaame like a mysterious guy… but I want to risk this and become strong.'
With that thought in mind, Sakura hurriedly ran out into the streets, eventually taking a detour into the thick forest, unaware that Ino had seen her with curious eyes.
..........
Ever since Sasuke had returned from his mission, Ino had devoted almost all her attention to him for three straight days, yet she had not encountered Sakura even once during that time. This made Ino wonder if Sakura had finally lost interest in Sasuke.
Ino is suffering from a strange disease, called Sakura-Competition Syndrome. Ino had spent her entire childhood competing with Sakura over toys, dresses, cosmetics, pride, and eventually Sasuke.
Everything Sakura wanted, Ino automatically wanted as well....
The same goes for Sakura too...who is suffering from Ino-competation-Syndrome. whatever Ino wanted, sakura wanted too.
However, since Sakura was no longer showing any interest in Sasuke, Ino found her own enthusiasm strangely fading. The truth was remarkably simple: Ino's driving push toward Sasuke was entirely tied to Sakura's feelings over Sasuke, meaning that without Sakura actively chasing him, Ino's own competitive fire began to weaken.
While walking through the village, Ino spotted Sakura running in a rush and narrowed her eyes.
'Where does she heading to, in such a rush?'
She immediately followed, hiding herself carefully behind buildings and trees to keep pace. Surprised by Sakura's unusual speed, Ino tried her best to keep up, but Sakura took several winding side paths and moved deeper into the forest until she completely lost track of her.
Stopping near the edge of the woodland path, Ino breathed lightly as she scanned the dense trees, but Sakura was already gone.
'where did sakura go..?.'
Frowning in frustration, she eventually returned home with a restless mind, constantly wondering what Sakura was doing and where she was going.
'I have to follow her one more time, if she headed to forest again....I wonder where she is going in such a rush in that forest?'
The more Ino thought about it, the more certain she became that something drastically important was happening with Sakura, and Ino desperately wanted to uncover the truth.
