Soflateam

Seriously, great job everyone.

It was really hard for me to pick my favorites this time around.

I'm really am loving this drabble contest. Maybe I'll participate myself sometime, all depends on if an idea hits me.

I've updated it with Chapter 6 - Testing


I'm not completely satisfied with the chapter, but I wanted to release it before I went on the one week break I'm taking. (Explained in the AN)

Hope you guys enjoy it, at least! :thumbs:

I'll have to agree with you on the demeaning part when it comes to these clan plots. I've seen stories where Sakura is forced to marry Sasuke so she can have his babies. Then theres the ones where, like you said, Naruto/Sasuke is forced by the Hokage to marry multiple women and breed like a rabbit. It's not fair to the women.

I'm a very indecisive person, but once I make up my mind, it usually stays that way. It's one reason I'm so stuck on this Ino thing, and I'd rather try and figure it out before I get too far into the story. Not only so I can build up the story to fit it better, but because some people don't exactly agree with the trio, so I'll give them a warning if it'll happen.

Your post gave me a lot more food for thought. I have read those stories you mentioned multiple times, but I went back this morning and reread them.

Mind of Others' way of handling the relationship was believable, and it made sense. It makes me doubt that I'd be able to come up with a viable reason to build the foundation of the NaruIno relationship.

Your questions made me think the most. I only had an answer to two of them, and the answers weren't all that great if I were to be honest with myself.

My problems lie in building up Naruto's interest, I believe. Building up Ino's interest in Naruto would be a lot easier than building up his interest in her. With that problem, two of those questions you had asked go unanswered.

The sharing part would be tricky, also. But I believe it would still be easier than building up Naruto's interest. By the point in the story the NaruIno relationship would start, there would have been many changes with Sakura and Ino, bringing them to a very close friendship. (Teammates should be very close, they do go through sticky situations with each other, after all.)

All in all, I'm not entirely sure I could succeed in building a believable relationship. As much as I'd personally like to include Ino in the relationship, I also don't want to ruin the story by just throwing her in as part of it.

*Sigh* It's a pity all of the friends I know that are into Naruto are SasuSaku/NaruHina shippers or I'd be able to bounce ideas back and forth with 'em. They won't help me with this cause they don't think Sakura is right for Naruto. (I don't think they care for romance, either.)

Thanks for the reviews, and comments, guys!

I've already got quite a few ideas for the next chapter, now I just need to tweak 'em and get to writing! (Yeah, yeah, I work fast, can't ya tell?)

And Vyse, you are correct. Us men can be perverts sometimes (It might be a reason to why I like Ino so much. I like the way she looks.)

I'm still debating NaruSakuIno, but, I've put a lot of thought into it so far (I've been thinking since I first came up with the plot a few months ago) and I've determined I most likely will make her part of it, but not until later in the story. There needs to be sufficient development first.

On a side note: Does anyone else ever get those PMs from fans of another pairing? I've gotten three just today from NaruHina shippers badmouthing my pairing choices (Which is shown on my profile.)

*sigh* Better get used to 'em I guess. (Although they are creative. One even told me that NaruHina is cannon because when Naruto's lineage is released, Hinata will gain him through the clan restoration act. Is there even such a thing?)

Eh, got off topic a bit. Anyways, I should have the next chapter out in a day or two. Just a matter of motivation on my part.
