A/N: From this point on, the next few chapters won't be focusing on Hinata and Sakura, but on the other guys for a bit. I beg for you guys to review more, though! When things get further, of course Sakura's going to be important again and actually do something this time! Also, more Naruto characters are going to appear!
Yamanaka Ino awoke to the smell of burnt flesh and incense.
Her head was pounding like crazy, and she felt like she hadn't had any food or water in days. Ino tried to move, but she found herself tied to a chair not by rope, but by chains. The only light source was a small candle on a table a few feet away, and even that wasn't enough to help her judge her location.
Then...she saw a man's voice suddenly appear out of the darkness, hovering over the candle's flickering flame. He had piercings all over his face, and spiky orange hair. He seemed to be speaking to someone across the table, but Ino couldn't make out who it was. She could hear what they were both saying, though.
"Things have gone well today, madam. Deidara has been able to recruit about three more of those pitiful teenage sluts to join our 'whorehouse', Zetsu has obtained the location of Haruno Sakura's lodgings, and I have confirmation that Nagato, the traitor, is dead..."
The other person, who Ino figured was a woman by the sound of the voice, chuckled softly and said, "Thank you, Pein. I'm glad that Orochimaru #3's death was worthwhile. I will miss him, though; he always followed his orders so faithfully. At least unlike the original, he actually listened to me."
The man named Pein grunted and nodded his head in response.
The woman continued by saying, "Oh, well. We had no choice, anyway. Is the 4th one done by now?"
"Kisame and Hidan are busy setting him up. Orochimaru #4 will be fully prepared to carry out your orders in less than two hours..." explained Pein.
Suddenly, the woman seemed to have noticed Ino was awake, even through all this darkness, as she then remarked, "Well, well...it seems our guest has finally awoken."
The lights suddenly flashed on, and Ino snapped her eyes shut in response.
"Hello, Yamanaka Ino...welcome."
Slowly, Ino opened her eyelids and adjusted to the light. She was in the middle of an empty old room and the walls were covered with huge stains of a red substance. Ino let out a small gasp when she noticed a skeleton lying by her feet. A single table sat a few feet away, and the candle was now gone.
Besides the orange-haired man Ino had seen earlier, there was also a woman with blue hair and a single piercing under her bottom lip standing next to him, smirking.
"W...Who are you people? Why did you kidnap me? Wait...are you going to force me to be one of your prostitutes?" Ino asked fearfully.
The blue-haired woman chuckled. "You heard about Pein mentioning the 'whorehouse'? Oh, no! Of course not! Our 'whorehouse' is only a cover, anyway; besides using it to make a nice amount of money, it also allows us to obtain some new test subjects..."
"T...T...Test subjects?"
"Yup!" replied the blue-haired woman cheerfully, "By the way, my name is Konan! Nice to meet you!"
Ino was so afraid of what was going to happen to her, that pee began to trickle down the side of her leg.
"...Maybe I should get her a diaper or something..." Pein remarked to mock the poor blonde girl.
Konan smiled widely and said, "I like you, so I decided to let you know about what I plan on doing first before I put you to work...m'kay? What we're doing is trying to do two things...create perfect clones and be able to alter the human body into something deadly. Following me so far, pretty girl? We're almost done with the clone thing...wanna see?"
Ino shook her head.
Ignoring her, Konan turned to a wooden door at the end of the room and shouted, "It looks like it's time for you guys to come in!"
The door slowly creaked open, and three people walked in: a man with pale skin and long black hair, Principal Sarutobi, and...another Ino Yamanaka.
Ino stared at the three of them for a moment before screaming out in complete terror. "AHH...AHH...AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!"
"Ah! I love the sound of a young girl screaming!" Konan purred as Ino continued to shriek. After about a minute, Konan nodded to Pein, who then slammed his fist against Ino's face, and that shut her up good.
When she regained her composure (which took quite a bit of time), Ino stammered, "Y...Y...You cloned me? WHAT THE FUCK? HOW DID YOU DO THAT?"
"...With machines, of course." Konan replied.
"But where would you get machines that let you create clones like this so easily? And human clones, at that?" Ino exclaimed.
"Where I got my technology doesn't matter," Konan replied, "You are now #1223, the newest of my test subjects! The original #1223, a girl from your school, was used as a prostitute first before being experimented on, and it so happened that your beloved Principal had requested her services. In fright, she attacked him and ran off. Thanks to Sarutobi's info, we were able to find her and punish her. But...like the technology, that matters not anymore. What matters now...is that I make all of Konoha mine. Got it? We are not 'NEON', but 'AKATSUKI'!"
"H-How are you g-going to do that?"
Konan smiled at Ino's question; she had been waiting for it. Reaching into her pocket, she pulled out a needle filled with a strange light-green fluid. Without warning, Konan injected the fluid into Ino's neck. The blonde girl tried to struggle, but Pein grabbed her head and held her still until all the fluid had flowed into her body.
Tossing the now-empty needle aside, Konan said, "This is how I'll take over Konoha. Prepare to be...transformed. Hopefully, this concoction I had made today will work..."
Nothing happened for a moment, and Ino thought she was safe.
Then...she started to change.
Hinata roamed the streets of Konoha in a drunken slump, her mind blank. Even after drinking over ten bottles of beer and abusing various types of drugs over and over, she couldn't rid herself of the sexual desire to be raped.
That was when she noticed a flier for 'NEON' fluttering through the wind and landing at her feet. Picking it up, she read it...and smiled.
'OH GOD, YES!'
In the midst of her increasing confusion, Hinata had forgotten all about Sakura and the love they shared...
"Hurry it up! We're almost to Mt. Hokage!" Kiba called over his shoulder to Naruto and Sasuke, who were struggling with carrying about 30 pound of camping supplies each on their backs.
"W...Why do we have to come here?" Sasuke called out to his sensei, "I hate Mt. Hokage! My brother, Itachi, disappeared up in these woods five years ago!"
"STOP BEING SUCH A BABY AND HURRY UP!" Kiba screamed so loudly that birds hiding in the trees flew out in a hurry, cawing and tweeting their displeasure.
At the base of the forest-covered mountain, the three young men were surprised to find a police outpost set up. A woman with blonde hair in pigtails was standing with her back against the car, looking bored out of her mind. Kiba immediately recognized her as Temari, one of the officers that arrested Ino.
"Yo! Temari-keisatsukan! Wazzup?" Kiba exclaimed as he, Sasuke and Naruto began to walk past her to go up the mountain.
Unfortunately for them, it wasn't going to be so easy.
"Hold it! Where are you three going?" Temari snapped.
Kiba shrugged and replied, "Well...we're going up to the mountain of course. We're gonna train!"
"Yeah!" Naruto exclaimed, pumping his fists to emphasis his excitement.
Temari shook her head. "Sorry, but no one is allowed up the mountain for this whole week. I've been sent here to make sure no one gets in or out..."
"Why?!" Kiba cried.
"Have you two ever heard of...'The Two Green Beasts Of Konoha'?" Temari asked.
All three boys shook their heads.
Temari sighed and rubbed her temples as if in pain. "Alot of people claim they've seen two figures dressed in green, one taller than the other, running around the forest with abnormal strength and agility. I think it's utter bullshit, but Police Captain Tsunade doesn't think so. She's getting married this weekend, at the old church located around the side of this mountain, and she doesn't want any 'Green Beasts' ruining it."
"Oh, she's getting married? Who's the lucky guy?" Sasuke asked.
"Actually, it's a woman. Her name is Shizune, and she and the Captain have been dating for quite a while. Shizune asked for the Captain's hand in marriage about two days ago, and she said 'yes'. The entire Police Department's been invited. As long as they serve cocktails and alcohol at the same time, then I'm going for that reason alone."
"Hell yeah! I love lesbian weddings!" Kiba exclaimed happily.
"Really?" Naruto asked him.
Kiba nodded. "Yeah, but I've never been to one."
Unable to take their idiocy anymore, Temari exclaimed, "Look, just go back to your homes and play your PS3s and X-Box360s and whatever, and forget about the goddamn mountain! Okay?"
Naruto and Sasuke gave up, and were about to head home when Kiba grabbed them both by the backs of their shirts and whispered, "Don't give up so soon, boys. I've got a plan..."
Kiba spun around, about to confront Temari, when he saw that she was lying on the floor, unconscious. And, standing over her...were two men wearing clothes made out of leaves...and nothing else.
The taller of the two men gave the dog boy a thumb's up and exclaimed, "That, my brother, is the Power Of Youth!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"
Poor Kiba's horrified screams rang throughout the valley...
