"Oh dear Kami.... what have you done Ino?" Inoichi said with a big fatherly sigh of exasperation, then turned to Inoiki when she tried to surpress her giggling. His face hardened as he glared at his wife, he could see her hands in this. "Are you two trying to give me a heart attack?" He said with VERY restrained anger. He wouldn't hit her, publicly or privately, but he had many ways to punish his wife when she got like this.
Inoiki looked at her husband, withered under his glare and subconsciously crossed her arms over her breasts, she knew they'd only be safe until they returned home.... then her big girls were in BIG trouble. "I can.... okay, maybe I can't explain Inoichi-kun." Inoiki said in submissive voice, trying to charm him.... though she knew it was useless. "You saw what happened in her prelim match, she wants to be unique. Hotaru-chan helped Ino-chan design her new outfit and I gave her some.... tips. She's worked very hard the last month, she's off that stupid diet and trains very hard every day, just watch before you decide."
Inoichi sighed and looked at his 'little girl', she wasn't little anymore, he just didn't want to let her go, but her new outfit gave him no choice. She had on custom. purple leather kunoichi knee boots with metal shin guards, instead of her usual skirt she had on what was basically tight, purple micro-shorts with a flap in front and back that went halfway down her thighs and just covered her crotch and butt, but not by much. Her top was basically the same, but the back looked like it was either padded or lightly armored, and a front strip directly below and as wide as her neck, down to the strap around the bottom just below her full breasts, was bare. Her cleavage was fully visible almost out to her nipples, which he was thankful were still covered. The final touch was elbow length, armored, purple leather fingerless gloves. Nearly every boy in attendance was yelling and.... well acting like boys do around a sexy girl, he surpressed his fatherly urge to start hurting them for looking at his princess like a piece of meat or some whore in the Red Light District. He knew exactly how far Ino had gone sexually with boys, and a certain girl, and though she was still technically a virgin, as a doctor would tell him if she was checked, she wasn't as pure as he would of preferred, but he trusted her judgement.
"Begin!" The Proctor said and leapt back.
Tenten was amazed at Ino's new outfit, it was taking all her willpower to not submit before the match even started, Ino looked STUNNING. Tenten leapt up and back, as she did she pulled a handfull of her custom mini-kunai from both weapon pouches and threw all 10 at Ino in 2 waves of 5.
Ino used her forearm and shin guards to block all 10, which stunned both Tenten and the entire crowd a moment, especially those from Konoha that knew her, she surprized everyone with her new speed. She knew she'd never be a powerhouse like Sakura, strength just wasn't her thing, but she had discovered what did work for her. "You're suppossed to learn new tactics the last month Tenten, I expected that.... you'll have to do better if you want to win, and I know the flaw in your fighting style." Ino said with a smile, pulled a kunai with her left hand, took a loose version of the basic Taijutsu stance, and started rocking her body gently, as if listening to music.
Tenten wanted to ask Ino what the hell she was doing, this was a fight, not a dance club. "Sorry Ino-chan." Tenten said, pulled a scroll from her belt pouch and wih a quick hand sign released a 6' bo staff, and slipped the scroll back in. She did a quick kata then charged in. Ino threw her kunai, but she deflected it easily with the staff, she was surprized Ino would do that though, everyone knew you didn't try to trade ranged attacks with her. Just before she was in range she whipped the staff around for a quick and painless knockout blow, and almost lost her focus when Ino just dropped out of sight. Her sharp eyes quickly found Ino, on the ground in a full side splits, she followed through on her swing and brought the other end straight down hard at Ino's head, again going to a fast knockout, Ino crossed her arms above her head and blocked the strike, immediately turned her arms and grabbed the staff with both hands and yanked her forward using the momentum of the swing, released it with her right and a send a punch at her pussy. Tenten immediately released the staff and leapt forward, sailed over Ino landing hands first did a roll, twisted up onto her feet so she was facing Ino, a look a genuine shock on her face.... Ino had improved dramatically.
Ino did a roll into a handstand, pushed off with her hands, twisted in the air and landed on her face in her stance, facing Tenten,.a big smile on her face. "Impressed?" Ino asked. The sudden roar of the crowd told her they were, and she loved it.
Tenten smiled and nodded. "You've been busy." Tenten said casually.
"You have no idea." Ino said, remembering the Hell she'd put herself through the last month.
In the stands Kurenai smiled proudly. She'd apologized to Ino for what she'd done to her during 1 of their private sparring sessions when she realized she'd reacted to ino's 'speedbags' comment as a woman, not Ino's Sensei. She was proud of Ino for how much she'd improved. Once she'd figured out what worked for Ino and how to make her absorb her lessons as fast as she did all the information on clothes and fashions, Ino improved by leaps and bounds. 'If Naruto-kun knew what I did to Ino.... I wouldn't be able to wear a bra for a month.' Kurenai thought and hid the shiver of fear that ran down her spine and crossed her arms a little tighter over her large breasts protectively. As much as it pained her as an experienced, hard-as-nails Jounin, and the greatest Genjutsu expert in Fire Country.... Naruto could wrap her around his finger and make her do anything he wanted.... she was VERY glad he hadn't though, beyond a few childish pranks and common favors. She also knew the ONLY thing keeping him from turning 'the Ice Queen of Konoha' into his sex crazed subbie bitch was the simple fact he hadn't married Hinata yet.... and once that happened she was gettng fucked and there wasn't a damn thing she could do about it. Except for Might Guy who was too much a gentleman, there wasn't a man in her age range that hadn't tried at least once to get her in bed. or at least see her topless, though only a few people knew she was dating Kakashi, she'd asked them not to tell anyone because she liked her rep. She did enjoy teasing him, she'd only let him get as far as fondling he breasts through her clothes, a few more dates and if he behaved she'd get topless for him. There was another thought that brought a subtle smile to her face though.... she wasn't the only experienced Kunoichi in this situation with Naruto, they all were.... even the legendary Tsunade was under his power. She knew what that power was now, but that knowledge didn't help her any. She wondered how Naruto would react if he knew every kunoichi of Special Jounin rank and higher, including the female ANBU and Clan Heads, had recently started holding a secret 'Naruto Club' meeting twice a week like a bunch of fangirls.
Down in the arena Ino was flipping, twisting, spinning and rolling to avoid barrage after barrage of kunai from Tenten. Ino finally stopped and stared at Tenten, panting, slightly out of breath from the extreme exertion. "Damn it Tenten are you trying to turn me into a pincushion? A couple of those almost gave me pierced nipples the hard way!" Ino asked.
Tenten landed from her last jump, three kunai in each hand, a big smile on her face. "They weren't fatal attacks Ino-chan.... the med nins could of healed you easily. As much as I'd love to advance, there's another reason I'm trying so hard.... I can't tell you here though."
'It has to be Hinata-chan, I can see her big tits in this somewhere. I have to end this soon, I'm no match for her at a distance and she'll never run out of weapons.... I need to get closer.' Ino thought then smiled deviously. 'It's a dirty trick.... but there aren't really any rules for these matches.... I'm sorry Tenten-chan, you know I love you, but your giant clit is the key to my victory. Please forgive me.' Ino thought, stood straight, fixed her hair then released her almost waist-length ponytail, causing her blonde hair to cascade down her back. Ino did the 'hair flip' with her head then ran her fingers through her hair to fluff it, smiling seductively the whole time. She saw Tenten's reaction, then swallow nervously and her long nipples harden beneath her shirt. She wanted to save it for later but this was her only chance to win. She slowly reached down and ripped off the front and rear flaps, as they were designed to do, revealing her prominent 'cameltoe' and micro-shorts hitched halfway up her firm ass. Gyrating her hips in slow circles she turned a circle as she ungulated in a very erotic matter, accentuating her sexuality. As she turned back towards Tenten Ino saw she'd dropped her kunai and was struggling to hide her arrousal. Her arms over her head, hands together, she carefully did several hand signs. As soon as she was in position she changed and locked her stance, and held her hands straight out in front of herself. "MIND TRANSFER JUTSU!"
"Noo...." Tenten yelled too late, she knew it was over, she had no defense against this jutsu, she just wasn't strong enough. She could see and feel Ino in her mind
'Give it up Tenten, you can't escape. Surrender or I'll make you do something I guarentee will be so humiliating you'll never live it down. Please Tenten, I can also make you knock yourself out.... please don't force me to do either.' Ino said to Tenten inside Tenten's mindscape.
Tenten nodded.
"Proctor.... I, Tenten, forfeit the match." Tenten said.
"Winner, Ino Yamanaka!" The Proctor said.
Ino ended her jutsu, opened her eyes, looked around a moment, then smiled happily and stood up. One of the things she hated about using her family jutsu was her body went limp and always got her clothes dirty. She walked over to Tenten. "Congratulations Tenten, You made me work my ass off just to keep up with you. If I hadn't fought dirty like that you would of beaten me. I had to distract you or I never could of hit you with my family jutsu. You forgive me?" Ino said sincerely.
Tenten sighed sadly, then smiled gently. "I understand.... and I forgive you Ino-chan. Besides, I'm getting something special for doing my best, so it was worth it." Tenten said then hugged Ino, picked up the kunai she'd dropped, put'em away, gave Ino a quick kiss on the lips and headed for her locker room.
Ino waved to the still half stunned crowd, then headed for her locker room.
Inoiki turned to her husband before he could say anything. "I swear Inoichi-kun, I didn't teach Ino how to do that!" She said sincerely.
Inoichi sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. "After this is over we're having a long talk with our daughter.... and then I'm goung to ground her for three months!" Inoichi said angrily, then glared at Kurenai. Though disturbed and upset at what he just saw his princess do, underneath it all he knew she was a woman now and he had to treat her like one. He wanted to stay mad at his wife and daughter, but knew he'd apologize to them when they finally had that talk.
Kurenai felt the glare on her, turned towards it, sighed softly then nodded to her fellow Jounin. 'I'm going to get an earful on this from him, but Ino is an adult now and there's not really anything he can do about her. He always was too protective of her, he needs to let go of the fantasy she's still his pure little princess, he knows what she's donee. I hope Tsunade doesn't mind me bringing her in on this.'
Little did Kurenai know that very thing was forcing its way into the front of his mind. 'Oh Kami, I'm going to have to give Ino.... the talk!' The Yamanaka Clan Head thought, as a hidden shudder of fear ran through his body. 'On the other hand, she's probably ready to learn our Clan's advanced jutsu now.... damnit, I owe Kurenai an apology now too.'
In her chair with the other visiting Kages and the former Third Hokage, the newly appointed Fifth Hokage Tsunade was subtly smiling at the incredible show Ino had just put on, it matched anything she'd ever seen by an experienced infiltration kunoichi or exotic dancer. 'That girl has serious potential in several areas, she just needs the right Sensei.... I'll have to talk to her and her parents after the Exams.... shit, I forgot about the invasion. I haven't had this job long, and still hate this place a little.... but I'll be DAMNED if I'll let anyone I care about get hurt!' Tsunade thought and her small smile started to turn into a snarl.
"Something wrong?"
Tsunade snapped out of her thoughts, looked to her right and her smile returned. "No Sarutobi-san, nothing to worry about. Are you okay, you seem to be little flushed, would you like some water, it is rather hot today." Tsunade said and gave him a subtle look that let him know she knew it wasn't the weather that had him overheated, but Ino. When he nodded she signaled a Chuunin guard to bring him some. She hoped his heart could take it, she'd spent a lot of time with him since she returned, and although she now knew he was as big a pervert as Kakashi had been, and almost as bad as her former teammate Jiraiya still was, for some reason she thought it made him cute.... and was glad he was still capable despite being in his seventies. 'No... we're just friends, that's all.... he was my Sensei.... I can't be having these feelings for him.... can I?' Tsunade thought, a little confused inside. 'Then why do I want to show him my tits? If I did it could kill him.'
Hinata walked out into the Arena confidently, she was looking forward to a great match with Sakura-chan, very curious to see what her friend could do now. Hinata was anxious to show everyone what she could do as well, especially her family. She faced the Kage booth and gave them a full, formal bow of respect, then found her family in the crowd and politely bowed to them.
Sakura walked out full of confidence and pride, a month ago she'd been near death, and now she was stronger than ever, and not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. After she'd recovered from her surgery and found out she had a kekkei genkai.... Tsunade had verbally ripped her a new ass about what she did in her preliminary match, never in her life had she heard such language, but afterwards Tsunade had explained why she did it and made several things crystal clear to her, she was never to open more than three Chakra Gates again unless it was a serious life and death situation and all other options had been exhausted first, if she did Tsunade would personally beat the lesson into her, kunoichi-to-kunoichi and wouldn't hold anything back. Tsunade then gave her two glances that had made her cover her small chest and cross her legs.... that message got through very loud and very clear.
"Ready...." The proctor said and waited a moment for them to nod. "Fight!" He yelled ten leapt back.
The instant The proctor said fight Sakura dropped down, almost to 1 knee, punched the ground with her right fist and opened a fissure in the ground that went about 6 feet past Hinata and was about 5 feet wide from end-to-end.
Hinata just barely managed to dive and roll to her right and was instantly back up to her feet in her Gentle Fist stance, Byakuugan blazing. 'Dear Kami that was fast.... and that was Tsunade-sama's Fissure technique!' Hinata thought.
"Damn!" Sakura said quietly to herself, she really didn't want a long battle with Hinata, or have to fight her with Taijutsu, Hinata was too fast and would shut down her chakra in moments, leaving her helpless. 'I hope this works.' Sakura thought and began flashing through a series of hand signs Sakura finished and held the last sign. "CHERRY BLOSSOM PETAL STORM!" Sakura yelled as she put nearly half her chakra into her ultimate Genjutsu, Kurenai had told her it would only be about fifty percent effective against the Byakuugan, but it was her best chance without having to reveal her Bloodline-Limit to everyone, that was her secret Ace, she really didn't want to use it against Hinata.
"A new Genjutsu!" Hinata said, not sure if the Byakuugan would let her see through it, it didn't feel like a D-Rank, she could defeat those, this was a C-Rank, possibly B-Rank Genjutsu she had to of learned from Kurenai. Hinata watched as hundreds, then thousands of cherry blossom petals filled the arena.... and basically hid Sakura from her vision, but not completely. Hinata put her hands together. "KAI!" Hinata said trying to dispel the Genjutsu....and gritted her teeth when it failed. 'She's too strong.... I'm sorry Sakura-chan.' Hinata said, then focusing chakra into her hand raced at Sakura.
In the stands, more than half of everyone watching lost sight of the fighters, unable to see through Sakura's Genutsu. One of the people that could see was Kurenai. 'Come on Sakura-chan, I want to win this bet with Anko too.... make it a clean sweep against Anko's team and I'll give you something special.' Kurenai thought. Kurenai saw Hinata charging in and saw Hinata's right hand glowing blue. The moment she knew what it was she paniced inside.... she knew what Hinata was going to do, and though temporary would end the match if it hit. She saw Sakura try to counter, but couldn't watch the outcome of the clash and closed her eyes. There were 2 screams, she quickly opened her eyes as the Genjutsu faded.... and gasped. Sakura was sitting on her feet, arms wrapped around her stomach, Hinata was 2 feet away on her knees, face twisted in pain, both hands clutching her crotch. Hinata's chakra scalpel had hit just before Sakura's kick and cut off her chakra, which is why Hinata wasn't on the far side of the arena unconscious. Hinata, still wincing, moved forward on her knees and raised her right fist, her Byakuugan was still active. She knew Hinata wasn't going to use a Jyuuken strike, she was just going to knock out Sakura the old fashoned way.
Sakura looked up from the ground, saw Hinata just within range for her punch, lashed out with her own punch.... and froze in fear when Hinata simply caught her fist in her left hand. "What did you do to me?" Sakura asked, quickly getting scared.
'I severed your connention to your chakra coils.... you're just a regular girl Sakura-chan, I'm sorry, but without your chakra you can't beat me." Hinata said sadly then drew her fist back a little more and gritted her teeth.
"Proctor I surrender!" Sakura yelled sadly, tears forming in her eyes. It crushed her to say it, but there was no way she could beat Hinata without her chakra.... short of resorting to some very nasty, and extremely painful, humiliating catfight tactics that made a kick in the crotch look like nothing, she wouldn't do that to Hinata.
"Winner, Hinata Hyuuga!" The Proctor said.
"I've very sorry Sakura... let me reverse what I did." Hinata said, reformed her chakra scalpel and reattached Sakura's severed primary chakra coil.
"hank you Hinata.... and I'm sorry I kicked you, it was a reflex. Congratulations." Sakura said sincerely as she pushed back her tears, she was dissappointed she lost, but that didn't mean she still couldn't be promoted to Chuunin, she'd done her best and was proud of herself. "Besides.... Ino is my teammate, and I think you have a better chance of beating her than I do.... you're better equipped." Sakura said quietly with a smirk and glanced at Hinata's chest, being sure Hinata saw her do it.
Hinata giggled, blushed slightly for a moment and nodded. "Thank you Sakura-chan."
In the stands Kurenai glanced at Anko and saw a subtle but very familiar sadistic smile on her face. She was really regretting what she'd bet Anko for this match, but it was Anko's condition for accepting the rest of her bets. She hid it perfectly, but inside Kurenai was whimpering at what Anko was going to make her do. 'Maybe I'll get lucky and get injured during the invasion, that'll give me time to work out a compromise with Anko.... or at least guilt her into letting me out of it.'
