Looking at iconic board and remembring naruto's previous experience and his prank of spilling paint over all the flowers .
Naruto's eyes twitched but a special place from original story and Ino's place he still walks over while making a plan .
While praying and hoping for someone else to be in the shop but Ino , Naruto looks at the sign-board
Yamanaka Flowers
pushing the door open a small bell rings
" ting ting"
" Welcome"
=========================================
Yamanaka Ino POV :
Helping out in shop is so boring , I had an appointment with my friends but Mom dragged me to spend time with her and now she puts me on the counter alone and has gone to the back to tend the flowers .
I could have gone and looked for sasuke-kun around the village maybe after finding him , we will have a dat-----
Ino's thoughts interrupted when the Shop's door pushed open and she instinctively greets the customer
" Welcome "
Looking at the newcomer with black T-shirt and orange shorts , white shoes with a block stone necklace hung around his neck her eyes goes to his face and her heart skipped a beat .
Her face flushed red and she forgot to speak when the Blonde looks at her with those blue eyes .
They both stay still looking at each other for a while .
After some time the boy near her same age starts looking around the shop , seeing her not speaking .
At this point her mother comes out from the backdoor listening to the bell and addresses the boy , not noticing her daughter's predicment
" what would you need "
" uhmm yes , some flowers for home decor "
replies the kid and the Matron starts to inquire further
" hmm will you like flowers with pot for home or only flowers for decoration"
" If possible both , but those that donn't need much care all day "
" Minimum tending , yes i understand , let's come over here "
Meanwhile the embarrassed Ino takes deep breath to calm herself down while thinking
( get yourself together Ino , Sasuke is the only one for you )
while calming herself down , Ino see's the the blonde smiling while holding the flower pot of Sunflowers
( hmm this is just a test , nothing more )
Breathing out she approaches them and heard their conversation with her mom speaking first
" Do you like it "
"yes "
" There are also marigolds, zinnias, petunias, Lavendar and coneflowers that doesn't need much maintenance , especially marigold it can bloom all year with little care "
" hmm then I will take 4 Pots of sunflowers and 2 each of other four "
hearing the affirmation her mom took him near counter and introduces some artificial flower home decor
" these can be used around the house including kitchen, table and other places "
seeing some other things the boy chooses two white flowere Vases and finalized his purchase
" only these then "
" Would you like them to be delivered"
" Yes please "
" Your Name and Address "
hearing her Mother inquiring his name , Ino's ear perked up and she uses all her concentration that she never used in any classes or at home , especially the later , his address , by which she can personally deliver and look out for that face more .
The blonde boy looks at her a little , seeing her not saying anything he answers
" Uzumaki Naruto "
" .........whatttttt----"
" ..........araaaa "
A surprised scream of her gets out on in total shock and also a surprised voice of her mother
" You are that annoying Naruto , impossible "
at this her mother interjects
" Ino , behave yourself "
" but , but ------nooooooo"
( How could it be Naruto of all people , my dreamsss , my heart , how could they betray me )
Anger washes over her and she questions him
" why , why and why didn't you tell me sooner "
hearing her questioning Naruto says calmly
" You didn't say anything after seeing me first and even now , when Mam asks me my name , so i thought you just didn't want to talk to me "
hearing Naruto's explanation , she explains herself
" But how could you not have that stupid face , that loud mouth and that orange monstrosi---"
at this Naruto point to his shorts
" Orange "
She shrieked
" whiskers--"
Naruto points at hairlined whiskers on his face who she couldn't see because of distance
" here "
" but but-----"
at this her mom intervenes and Karate-chopped her on head
" Enough Ino , calm yourself down , the world is not ending "
hearing her mom , she quiets down and find a corner and hears their conversation amidst the shocking revelation
" I apologize , Naruto-kun , she is a little handful "
" .....It's alright I guess "
" As an apology , how about a little discount "
" It's alright Mam , no need for that "
" No , I insist and you are also my daughter's classmate now give me the address "
" well "
She tuned herself out , and decided to see if all this is genjutsu .
Ino hears her Mom addressing her in their conversation
" I will have Ino personally deliver and help you explain the tending of flowers and other things "
" There is really no need for that "
Hearing naruto denying her , something flips inside of her
" What , do you have a problem with me "
" Ugh , that's not it and wouldn't it inconvenience You "
" I insist"
She uses the same tone as her mother , As for inconvenience
( I need to see for myself what has changed )
================================
Uzumaki Naruto Pov =
When he got inside the shop and signed-in , the reward was actually Product Knowledge Skill ( flowers ) .
Coming back to his senses he saw red-faced Ino glaring at him , deciding to not trigger her , he wondered off and looked around the shop and flowers when The manager who looked Ino's mother inquires him.
Getting introduced with diffrent flowers , the only reason he planned to have flowers was because
( The apartment is open with glass doors and windows around , I can plant these around for some cover )
that is why he focused on Sunflowers , as long as they grow they will cover glass doors , others will be put near terrace and windows with the same reason .
Getting swept around Shopmanager's pace and buying some other things was because he still felt guilty when he put paint over these flowers , one-time playing a prank on Ino in the past .
He was pretty suprised when Manager asked his name and Ino looked at him with blank no-expression face , and then it's like some bomb exploded , to think she didn't recognize him at all and other gibberish .
He has watched plenty of anime and experienced enough to know , where this is coming from , a shame there is only one girl in his heart whether from previous life or this , the only reason he hasn't approached her is because
Uzumaki Naruto is No Lolicon .
Getting inside his house he heads to bathroom , while washing his face he looked himself in mirror
( Those students in academy and now Ino , they both didn't recognize me )
he looked at his much sharper face and fading whiskers then turns a little and put his hands in pocket and looked sideways opposite mirror.

( Damn , that's definitly something , is it Kage's Charisma )
Naruto comes to this conclusion quickly , just when he was in the middle of thinking he heard doorbell ringing.
' Ding-Dong'Ding-Dong''Ding-Dong''Dong''Dong'Dong'Dong'
" coming "
( who is so impatient )
