Mind Games

Chapter 1

Lee, Tenten and Neji, all three were specialist ninja in their chosen area. Lee with his Tai-jutsu, Tenten and her weapons, and Neji with his Gentle Fist. With such people to work with Ino couldn't go wrong.

Confidence was never one of her failings and she was so sure of herself that she strutted about the village with an air of superiority.

Finding Lee was no problem, ever pushing himself to the limits he could always be found at the training grounds at every free moment.

"…one thousand and twenty…one thousand and twenty one…"

"Lee! Over here!"

"…one thousand and, huh? Ino?"

Lee stopped kicking the tree stump and mopped his brow that glistened from perspiration.

"Lee! I need your help!"

"Help? What do you need my help for?"

"I'm trying to develop a new technique, but I need others to try out my new jutsu!"

"Special training? I bet it'll be a challenge." Ino watched as he clenched his fists and was sure she could see fire burning in his eyes. "Gai Sensei, I'll do my best!"

"Hehe, that's great Lee! Just be here at 1500 hours ok?"

Lee snapped into a salute. "Oss!"

"Thanks Lee." Weirdo!

Ino soon left the pumped up Lee as he continued his training with even more zeal. Next on the list was Tenten. Where does she usually go? I know she helps out Neji with his training, not that that helps a great deal. Hmm, maybe Gai Sensei knows where they are.

Might Gai was also very easy to find due to his loud and boisterous nature he was helping a citizen of Konoha to move furniture into her house.

"Gai Sensei!"

"Hmm, Ino! Can I help you?"

"I was wondering if you knew where Neji and Tenten were."

"I see, well they can usually be found in the woods training together, why?" Ino was already off; she barely had time to shout a 'thank you' back.

Looks like he was right, I can hear them now. Pushing her way through the foliage she knew that they were hard at work from the sound of weapons clattering to the floor. They sound busy, maybe I should come back later.

"Tenten stop. You there hiding in the bushes. There's no use. Show yourself now!"

Jumping out from the bushes Ino's face was a bright red.

"Um, hi! Aha hahaha."

"Oh, it's just you. What do you want?"

'just you.' "What do you mean 'just you'?"

"I mean that it is just you, no-one special, an unexceptional person. Want me to continue?"

"Ahem. No thank you."

"Well then, why are you here?"

"I was hoping you'd both help me with my training."

"I see, we don't have time."

"I'll help you!"

"What?"

"Come on Neji, it's not like we're making any progress. Besides we could use some fresh ideas."

"So you'll help me right?"

"Fine."

"Thanks, I'll be at the training field at 1500, ok?"

Turning his back and walking away was all the response Ino was going to get. Geeze what's his problem anyway?

It was nearly 1500 hours and Ino was really excited about her new technique training, if everything went according to plan then she could become the most powerful ninja in the leaf village.

Everyone turned up on the dot each looking intrigued about this training to some degree.

"Thanks for coming."

"Ino, what sort of training is it you need help with?"

"Glad you asked Lee, I've been trying to develop a new jutsu that'll let me split my mind transfer jutsu multiple ways."

"I see, so you can effectively enter all three of us, correct?"

"Not only that Neji, it will hopefully allow me to use it against a single moving target."

"Well let's get this over with."

Ino concentrated on building up as much chakra as she could; forming her signs she brought a cut crystal out inside her usual mind transfer sign. Activating her jutsu she slumped to the ground. Lee, Tenten and Neji all stood their ground expectantly, and then it hit them. Ino was inside Lee's body, it felt like raw power, she felt as though she could smash through boulders with her fists alone. Looking to the others she noticed how they were reacting to the bodies they were in.

"I feel strange, incomplete somehow." Grabbing a weapon made the Ino inside Tenten feel that much more at home.

"I can see everything!"

Looking at Neji the Ino inside Lee could clearly see that his Byakugan vision was active; it was slightly unnerving looking at the other two knowing that it was she who was inside them. Still this was only part of her plan. Now I just need to find out as mush as I can of their own techniques before the jutsu wears off.

It was a cheep trick to invade another person's mind and steel the knowledge they had acquired through hard work and patience still, if it made her a stronger ninja she was willing to do it.

Neji collapsed clutching his head, both Lee and Tenten spun to look as he rolled about on the floor screaming. Then Tenten began to clasp her head and she too fell to the floor. Ino started to panic she needed to release the ninjutsu, pain was starting to creep into her temples and a loud whistling drowned out all sounds.

Using Lee's incredible speed she darted to Neji and deactivated the ninjutsu. Nothing happened. Of course, Lee can't use ninjutsu! It was too late the pain was overwhelming her senses and lee too collapsed to the floor.

****

Hours later Ino woke up once again in her own body. Looking around she saw the three others all unconscious but breathing steadily. Heaving a sigh of relief she realised that the ninjutsu must have cancelled itself over time.

Tenten began to stir and opened her eyes, looking directly at Ino. "What the hell did you do?" What the? That's not my voice! Looking at the two others Tenten's eyes widened. "What is my body doing over there?"

"Huh? Tenten?"

"I'm not Tenten you idiot! I'm Neji!"

"What?"

Before Neji could say anything else his own body began to move.

"I'm exhausted. That must've been some excellent training! Huh? Why does my voice sound so strange?"

"Lee? Is that you?"

"Hmm? N-Neji?"

Neji looked wide eyed too know.

"Ino, was this part of the training?"

"Um, hehehe, err…"

Lee's body began to shuffle about causing everyone to remain silent. Ino eventually plucked up the courage to speak.

"Uh, Tenten?"

"Ino is that you? What the?"

Sitting bolt upright in Lee's body, Tenten looked around at everyone then down at herself.

"M-my boobs, they've gone! AAHHHHH!"

Lee's body then collapsed back down again as Tenten feinted. Sudden realisation flashed into Neji's mind, grimacing he looked down at the two breasts protruding from his chest. Anger flared in his eyes as he looked at Ino.

"You'd better tell me that this was supposed to happen and that you know a way to release it."
