Uzumaki Naruto, an Exceptional Shinobi

Filler 001: Naruto's Promise

|Uzumaki Naruto & Ito Aimi, Forever & Always|

"There!" Aimi said with a smile. Naruto looks down and smiles at the newly craved tree. "I love you," Naruto whispered as he brought her closer to him. Aimi giggled as she snuggled closer to him for warmth, "I love you too Naru-kun," Aimi said. Naruto smiled, "Would you like to go on a date with me Aimi?" Naruto asked. Aimi squealed, "Yes!" she answered. Naruto laughed, "Tomorrow at six, it's going to be a surprise," Naruto said as he kissed her lips. Aimi quickly responded wrapping her arms around his neck and his around her waist bringing her closer. A clear of a throat caused them to jump apart. Glancing up they saw Sasuke frowning down at them causing Aimi to blush a beet red. "What Uchiha?" Naruto asked. Sasuke scoffed, "The Hokage is asking for you," he said and vanished. Aimi blushed as she buried her face into Naruto's chest. "Hey, hey, nothing to be shy about or embarrass," Naruto said as he lift her chin up.

Aimi smiled at him, "Come on, I will drop you off with your brother," Naruto said. Aimi smiles at him and nods her head. Naruto stood up and brought her with him, "Ah!" she squealed and clung onto Naruto. Naruto laughed as he vanished. He reappeared in front of Aimi's temporary room at a local inn and kissed her good-bye, "See you tomorrow for our date, Aimi-chan. I love you," Naruto said. Aimi smiled at him, "Bye Naru-kun, see you tomorrow," she said. She entered the room and let out a muffled squeal to which Naruto lowly chuckle before vanishing again. "What to wear?" Aimi squealed as she went to her luggage. After hours of searching she pouted, "I got nothing cute!" she said. Her eyes then widen, "The girls!" she rushed out of her room and towards the streets of Konoha in search for the girls. "If I were them, where would I be?" Aimi asked to herself. "Hey come on guys," she heard a familiar voice of Temari. "Ino-pig!" Sakura. "Bill Broad-Brow!" Ino. "P-Please, c-calm d-down." Hinata. "Haha, who knew they were competitive?" Tenten. Aimi smiled and rushed towards the girls avoiding people on the way.

"Hey!" she called them. In the middle of the market street was the group of girls, Temari, Tenten, Ino, Sakura and Hinata. "Hey Aimi," Temari smiled. Aimi reached them, "You guys I need your help big time!" Aimi said. Sakura and Ino stopped their bickering and stared at the red head, "In what?" Ino asked. "I got a date tomorrow, and I don't know what—whoa!" Aimi barely finished when all the girls pounced at her and dragged her towards a clothing store that sells kimonos. "We need to find the perfect kimono for Aimi-chan's date!" Tenten said. "Yeah!" the rest cheered. Aimi looked nervously at them, 'Maybe I did a bad move?' Aimi thought. Temari smiled at Aimi, "So, where is he taking you?" she asked. Ino popped out from behind her, "Better yet, who's the guy?" she asked with a sly grin. Aimi blushed beet red, "N-Naruto," she stuttered. Hinata looked a bit sad but smiled at her friend anyways, "Naruto? He asked you out?" Sakura asked. Aimi nodded her head, "Yeah, we were together before Sasuke interrupted us," Aimi blushed again.

"Sasuke?" Sakura and Ino asked at the same time. Aimi nods her head, "Well, forget it. So, where is he taking you? You never answered," Temari said. Aimi giggled at her patience, "He said it's a surprise," she answered. Temari groan, "I hate surprises good thing he didn't ask me," she grumbled. Aimi laughed a bit, "So, what's your favorite color?" Tenten asked. Aimi sat there thinking, "I guess red," she said. Temari, Tenten and Hinata left her to find a perfect kimono while Ino and Sakura were fighting over a purple and pink kimono for her to wear. Aimi sweat drop, "I don't think purple or pink is my color you guys," she said. "You're right!" Sakura said as she walked in further followed by Ino. Aimi sighed heavily, "Need any help?" a new voice asked. Looking back she spotted a girl about the same age as her with brown hair and blue eyes, "Actually, I need a kimono for my date tomorrow. He said it was a surprise," Aimi said. The girl smiles at her and nods her head, "I think I know just the think you need. Wait here, it's in the back," she said and walked away.
