One possible plotline could be that Naruto and Ino are on a mission together. They start off bickering like they used to in the original series, but as the mission progresses, they begin to understand each other better. For example, they might face a powerful enemy that forces them to rely on each other's unique skills. Naruto's brute strength and Ino's mind - control abilities could complement each other in combat. Another plotline could be a more emotional one where Ino helps Naruto deal with his inner demons related to his past. She could use her skills to get inside his head in a more positive way and help him come to terms with things.
