Chapter 21 – TRAINING! Mind-Body Switch Technique!

After a good portion of time spent on Gentle Fist training, I decided to branch out a bit in terms of jutsu. I wanted to learn more from my peers and such; I still felt the need to catch up, despite being Chunin now. Normally the first person I would go to for such things would be Sakura, but she was still on a mission at Sunagakure with Naruto. Since Hinata and Neji were both Gentle Fist specialists, and I'd learned a lot from them already, I went to the first person I thought of:

Ino Yamanaka.

I don't know why I thought of her to go to first. One would think maybe Shikamaru or Kiba, Tenten even, before going to Ino for new Jutsu, but my brain moves in mysterious ways, and I tend not to question it, as it seems to be right a lot of the time.

So, during a beautiful morning in Konoha, I decided to walk down to the Yamanaka Flower Shop to ask her about it. As I entered, the familiar scent of many mixed flowers hit me, and I couldn't help but inhale deeply to take them all in.

"Hey James, how's it been?" I heard a familiar voice call from the other side of the store. I looked to see Ino manning the checkout counter, as she was usually.

"Yo Ino!" I replied cheerfully.

"So I'm guessing you're here for a gift for Hinata?" Ino said. I couldn't tell if she was teasing or actually being serious.

"Well, actually no," I said, "I'm here for you."

A slight beat.

"Whoa there James, you're not single, and that's a bit fast even for me!" Ino exclaimed, grinning the entire time.

I gave her that flat 'really?' look and said, "You know I didn't mean that."

Ino and Luna should be friends. Seriously.

"She seems my style; I like it." Luna replied in my head.

Do you just lurk around in my head whenever you feel like it?

"Yeah, pretty much James-kun."

I can't believe I'm getting used to being called that by you.

"Oh, fun!"

"Anyways," I started, "Basically, I wanna learn more jutsu from people, and my goal is to go around and learn one jutsu from all of my friends, and I was wondering if maybe you'd be okay with helping me?"

Ino thought about it for a moment before saying, "Sure, why not. You gotta wait 'till I get off though."

"That's what she said." Luna said suggestively.

I totally thought the same thing. Not gonna lie.

"Alright then. Works for me." I said. So I waited there.

Amidst waiting, at one point Ino said suddenly, "You know, looking at it, you and Hinata are kind of a weird couple."

"…umm…okay?"

"I hope you don't mind me harping on it," Ino started, "But you and her are both somewhat shy, and VERY submissive. Two submissive people in a relationship, frankly, doesn't make for very good…bed situations."

"That's an unusual euphemism. To be honest, I never really gave that aspect of a relationship much thought."

"You're still a virgin, right?" Ino asked.

"The hell kind of question is that?"

"The kind that could make or break a relationship!"

"Oh that's bullshit! Something like that would not make or break a relationship."

"Okay, fine, just tell me because I'm curious!"

"I'll tell if you tell." I said to her, grinning.

"Of course I'm still a virgin!"

"I am too. Also, I call bullshit." I said playfully.

"WHAT DO YOU TAKE ME FOR, A SLUT!"

"Sorta, yeah." I said, grinning, hoping for a reaction.

Ino whacked me hard for that one. It was so worth it.

Afterwards, I said, "I hope you know I was kidding. I'd never think of you as a slut."

Ino grinned and said, "Yeah I know. You still deserved to be hit for it though!"

Ino and I chatted friendly for a while before her shift ended. She then took me to some training grounds, and announced, "Alright James, today you're gonna learn the Mind-Body Switch Technique! Basically, it's an ability that allows you to take control of somebody else's body! You have to beware, though, that during this, your own body falls unconscious, so you have to be careful and make sure your own body isn't exposed too badly."

"Damn this sounds sexy!" Luna exclaimed in my head.

Shush you.

"Hey, you suppose you're gonna take control of her body?"

I think not. She'll probably have something to test it on.

"Because I trust you enough," Ino said, "I'll let you take control of my body ONLY for practicing purposes."

"Told you so."

Shut up.

"You're gonna love it."

Shut UP.

"Are you sure about that?" I asked tentatively.

"Well, who else did you have in mind?" Ino asked, as though it were obvious all along.

I paused. "Well, you have a point there." I said. "Show me how to do this crazy shit."

"Right! I'll just show you the pose, then you can actually try it on me." She showed me the hand sign, the pose (that looked something like you were about to aim a laser beam from your head by putting your index finger and thumb together), then said, "Alright, try it on me now."

"Okay then, I'll give it a go." I made the hand signs, the pose, and said, "Mind-Body Switch!"

I started to feel really weird, as if I were moving forward against my will, sort of like a conveyer belt was carrying me towards Ino. Everything got really blurry and started to fade, then clearer again as I began to focus in on my unconscious body. I felt a bit dizzy, and I shook my head back and forth a little, my extremely long, bright blonde hair hitting my face.

Wait my hair isn't that long or bright blonde.

I slowly lifted my arms, realizing that my skin was much more exposed than usual. Most of my clothing was gone, with the exception of a purple chest piece and-

…I have boobs.

…I HAVE BOOBS!

Then I realized the true weirdness of this all. WHERE THE HELL DID MY…MY…PARTS GO!

"It's because you're inside of MY body now, smart one!" I heard a voice in my head exclaim.

"Ooh, you're inside of her," Luna said suggestively, "Very kinky. And here I thought you were faithful, James-kun!"

Shut up Luna.

"Wait who's that?" Ino asked.

Oh, that's just- wait you can here Luna?

"Seems so," Luna said, "I guess in a way, we're BOTH inside of you, Ino! Gawd this is awesome!"

"…Ooo…kaaay…wasn't aware of this." Ino said, slightly confused.

Please don't tell anyone. It's really against my will.

"Keep telling yourself that, James-kun!" Luna said teasingly, "You know you secretly LOVE mind rape!"

It's funny how you admit to it!

"It's funny how you didn't deny it." Ino said.

Oh gahdammit, now Luna AND Ino are ganging up on me.

"THREESOME NO JUTSU!" Luna exclaimed at the top of her mind-lungs. I had the odd feeling that a rather small, furry fiend on a bridge way back when had said something similar during my travel before I found myself in Konoha.

"Oh if only that WERE a real jutsu!" Ino exclaimed. "Hey James, I know you really want to, and we're reasonably in private, so you can go ahead, get it out of your system and fondle yourself."

W-WHAT! I made Ino's face that I was controlling blush incredulously.

"Just do it! I know you want to!"

To be honest, yeah, I did want to. I'm a guy, I can't help it. And when other than now does a guy ever get a chance to be in control of a very attractive female's body, with that female GIVING PERMISSION to go ahead and feel herself up?

So I slowly, tentatively, lifted my arm, and felt her boob. Softly at first, then I started grabbing at it. It felt…weirdly arousing.

"I think he's enjoying it." Luna said. I could hear Ino just rolling on the floor laughing in the back of my mind. I didn't care. I was liking this. A lot. I grabbed harder. It was odd, being totally turned on and not having a giant tent pitched at my mid-regions.

And then I started panicking because I thought I was peeing my(her)self.

AHH INO INO INO INO HELP HELP INO INO HELP I DUNNO WHAT'S GOING ON, I'M REALLY SORRY I DIDN'T MEAN TO!

I heard an audible facepalm in the back of my head.

"That's NORMAL, smart one!" Ino exclaimed.

Uhh…you're kidding me. Girls…pee themselves when they're turned on?

Now I heard TWO audible facepalms in the back of my head.

"You really are a virgin, James-kun." Luna said in a 'you're hopeless' tone.

"Shall I explain?" Ino asked Luna?

"Either or. I don't care. But he's gotta learn somehow" Luna said.

So they both explained it to me.

After the explanation, I was just standing there, still in Ino's body.

…that's all…very…disgusting…and disturbing…and I don't ever want to do that with anyone…ever…

"That's because you're a virgin," Luna said, "Trust me, it's AH-MAY-ZING."

"You'd know!" Ino retorted, "To be honest, I've kinda been iffy on the whole putting-that-part-of-a-guy-inside-of-that-part-of-me section myself."

"Again, because you're a virgin!" Luna practically repeated, "You two, gah, you two need to just LOSE it already! Who knows, maybe you can experiment on each other before going in with your lovers so that at least ONE of the two is prepared!"

"HELL NO!" both Ino and I yelled hotly to Luna at the same time.

"I'm saving myself for someone!" Ino exclaimed.

And I'm not a cheater! Never will be!

"Alright, alright, just suggesting." Luna said defensively.

After that, I practiced moving around in a different body. God, it was so weird not having junk. Kind of nice, to be honest. Not as much 'baggage'. It took a little getting used to, but after a while, I was perfectly comfortable inside of Ino. I was able to make the same movements I could normally use, only as her. She then taught me how to release it, and after a bit more teasing from Luna and Ino, that was that. New jutsu acquired, learned about the birds and the bees, and got practically mind raped.

A successful day, indeed.
