Chapter 171: Chapter 171
Not sure what to do he gave Yugito's hand a small squeeze, causing her to smile before turning back to what they were talking about, "I'm sure you know how important these exams are, and not just for the genin but for their village."
Naruto nodded, "I understand a bit of the politics and economics involved." He looked at her as he thought about what she was saying, "So you're here to basically showcase Kumo's power, and in turn, get more jobs for your village. Being held in Konoha is just a bonus since we were once enemies, this shows that your village's ninja can survive even under hostile conditions."
"Something like that." Yugito smiled, "You know, you don't like to act it often, but you're pretty smart."
"Meh, I studied hard. I actually don't pick this stuff up easily; I had to really work my ass off to learn anything, especially this kind of political crap." Naruto grimaced as he remembered all of the studying he had to do, "It took a while, but I'm pleased to say that for the dead last of his graduating class, I've done pretty damn well."
"You were a dead last?" Yugito asked, not believing it.
Naruto nodded, "Unlike in Kumo where you actually received ninja training, my training was stunted by bigots who didn't want the demon to become too powerful." He shrugged, "That was another part of the reason I did so many pranks you know? I figured if I'm not gonna get the chance to learn anything in class because of the teachers constantly sending me out on trumped up charges, I might as well do something that would actually get me in trouble to make it worth my while."
Yugito shook her head, sometimes human stupidity tended to amaze her, "Then that just shows how strong you really are, as well as how much potential you have. How long have you been a Genin?"
"Six months," Naruto answered.
"Six months…" Yugito whispered. Now that was shocking to her. She had him pegged at maybe a little under her in strength without her using the Nibi, and she was pretty damn good, on par with ninja of the level around Hatake Kakashi if not better. For him to grow this strong in six months was unbelievable. She smiled at him, "I guess you really do have potential."
Naruto beamed in pride, feeling pleased that someone else acknowledged him. Even if she was from another village, "Of course! After all, I am going to be Hokage one day."
For the next hour or so of their time at the lake the two blonds talked about anything and everything they could think of. Yugito even surprised Naruto by unsealing a shamisen and playing for him, he had to admit she was very good. After her performance he had asked her if she would be willing to teach him, after all he figured it would be nice to have a hobby. When she agreed Naruto had once again been surprised, shocked and embarrassed when she had decided to teach him with a more hands on approach.
Yugito had made him sit with his back against her chest while she used his hands to show him the keys. Of course he could not even think about what keys were what or what notes they made. The only thing that had been on his mind were the feel of her amazingly firm and rather sizable bust pressing into his back, and the feel of her deceptively soft hands over his. By the end of their picnic Naruto knew nothing about playing a shamisen. However he did know that it would be next to impossible for him to deny that he was not a pervert, or at least very close to one.
After their picnic Naruto had offered to walk his fellow blond to her apartment, which she accepted with a grateful smile.
"I had a lot of fun today Naruto-kun," Yugito said as she turned around to face him. "Perhaps if we have some more free time before the finals we can do this again?"
"Y-yeah," Naruto replied, the blush that had been on his face since his 'music lessons' had still not faded. "I would love to spend some more time with you."
