Training and Time skip

Zoro was training inthe words when Ino came and asked him.

Ino : What should I do?

Zoro : Do you know how to climb trees without your hands ?

Ino : No.

Zoro : So do this. *shows her how to do it*

Like that Ino and Zoro started to train and Ino's fangirl attitude came to an end and she started taking training seriously. She was even starting to get attracted towards Zoro but she maintained a friendly relationship with him as it will be awkward if he rejects her. Like that time passed.

- Graduation day -

Zoro has now learned his three swords style and has the strength of pre-time skip Zoro in One piece, however he had some differences, he learned intermediate level of observation haki and has advanced level of armament haki, he couldn't jump start his Conqueror's haki but his swordsmanship and strength became high chunin to low Jonin level and his chakra was academy student level. To make his training swords heavy he attached weights to it, just enough to have the weight of the sword.

In this past months Zoro proposed to Ino and she started to cry and say that even she loved him. Zoro was now waiting for his turn in the exam.

Mizuki : Roronoa Zoro.

Ino : All the best.

Shikamaru : What a drag.. just finish it quickly.

Choji : *smiling while eating* Do your best.

Zoro : *Yawns* Ok will try.

Zoro made friends with Choji and Shikamaru as even he was lazy and had the appetite as he had to keep his body in shape and his muscles tuned up. He could be seen with the most muscular body which is lean with not an ounce of fat a 12 year old can get.

Zoro : ' Tomorrow I can get my sword and I need to visit different weapon shops to find two more suitable swords before I can get the other two. '

Zoro passed his test and came outside and stood besides Ino. He had the headband as a bandana and was black in colour.

Ino : *kissed Zoro* Tomorrow we are going to my house and telling my parents about us and there will also be a feast with the families of Shikamaru and Choji.

Zoro : *internal screaming* Shika, Choji if today I die just say to the Hokage that burry the Sword next to me and my fathers Grave. And write on the grave, trained to become greatest swordsman but died due to the wrath of a girl's father.

Shikamaru : Got it.

While this was going it came Naruto's turn. Naruto didn't train with Zoro but he was stronger than his canon part as he was made to study and had to do the morning workouts with Zoro and was eating healthy. Zoro even made Naruto realize that not to blindly follow Sakura and look at other to find his chosen one.

Naruto : I will pass this and become the hokage and keep Zoro-nii as my advisor and we will be feared as the strongest duo.

Zoro : I will never become an advisor and I think that job is for Shika.

Naruto : Ok so Shika it is.

Shikamaru : What a drag.... I don't want that... man now Naruto will surely make me his advisor if he becomes the Hokage.

Naruto went inside

Zoro : He will become one that is definate. But Shika I have news for you and which will be a long term bet.

Shikamaru : And what are the conditions and stakes.

Zoro : Let's first take the stakes, if I am correct then you will become Naruto's advisor and vice-versa.

Shikamaru : Ok what is the condition.

Zoro : You will be stuck with a blondie for the rest of your lives from the day you have your teams till the day you die.

Shikamaru : Well if you say till I die means a blondie will be my wife and the only blondie girl I know is with you, so you're on.

Ino : Hey what is going on ?

Zoro : Nothing just sum small talk.

Naruto came outside looked at Zoro with teary eyes and then ran away. Everybody knew what happened but nobody knew why and how. Zoro just waited for the Mizuki movement and went to the Hokage.

Zoro : *from the widow* Yo

The ANBU came down but the Hokage said

Hiruzen : Zoro why do you not use a door.

Zoro : A wise old man once said that it is easier from coming through the window.

Hiruzen : *eyes widen but goes back to normal* And what do you want from me for coming all the way.

Zoro : Well I have purpose and advice, purpose to take my sword and advice look for Naruto and he will show you a show.

Hiruzen : Hmmm... ok here is the sword inside this scroll and let's see what you want me to see.

Everything happened as the same in canon and Naruto graduated and the Graduation exam was over.
