Okay… new chapter.
I know, I know… Naruto is overpowered yada blah, whatever… That's just part of the fic. So what if he's too stong to lose any of his physical conflicts… it's his and the girls' internal mental conflicts that this fic is about. Plus the fact that I just HAVE to use the ending I've got planned… XP
For the record, Kimimaro wears a battle kimono, and what Sasuke wears post-timeskip is damn close too… Just a reference for this first paragraph…
For the record, yes. She's covering her boobs with her forehead protector. They're not that big, y'know... (Small enough for that, at least)
The man couldn't believe his eyes… he refused to believe them… amidst the sounds of clashing metal and rending flesh, he found what he'd been searching for these past thirty days; a young woman with long blond hair, much like his own. As she turned to face him, his eyes were met by hazy blue orbs, and a face with such beauty and youth it would make any of the blossoms she'd tended most of her life wither in envy. From behind, she appeared to be wearing nothing more than a simple light grey battle kimono, but when she turned, it was revealed to be far from ordinary… the top of her kimono was completely open, tied as such by the gunmetal grey obi around her waist. Her kimono was tied to show off as much of her nearly bare torso above her waist as possible, easily for the purposes of distracting male enemies, with nothing but her hitai-ite and the chest bindings under it obstructing the view of her body.
When her eyed met his, he could see the tears welling up in her eyes, and couldn't help but feel tears of his own flow when he heard her call out to him. "…Daddy?"

(Two days prior)
Ino had given it much thought, and decided that she needed to be there for the invasion, at least… to save as many lives as she could… But she never imagined the price she'd have to pay...
Naruto stepped into the room with Tayuya following close behind, while Kin sat beside Ino on her bed, comforting her lover. "I hear tell you've made up your mind…" Naruto said. At Ino's nod, he continued; "And what is your answer?"
"I agree to join Otogakure in the invasion against Konohagakure… on the condition that you let me leave this… place… tomorrow." Ino said, tears streaking down her cheeks. She didn't want to leave Kin behind, after all, she did have strong feelings for the girl… maybe not love, but what she felt could easily develop into such.
"Okay then…" Naruto said. "All I have to say to that is… sorry."
"What do you me-"Ino started, only to find that Naruto vanished instantaneously, reappearing as his fist plunged into her stomach.
As she was drifting out of consciousness, Ino heard Kin repeatedly calling out her name, Tayuya asking if that was really necessary, and Naruto apologizing once more.
---
When Ino awoke, she was in a dark room, the only light being the blinding rays from beyond the door in the corner. It took her a moment to realize that she was lying on a stone table, oddly she noted it was about the size of a coffin… when she leaned up, and put a hand to her aching head, she realized that she was topless. It didn't matter that she was laying face-down… someone took her shirt off, dammit!
The only thing greater than her aching head and stomach was the mysterious ache in her back… "INO!" She heard from the door, seeing Kin run up to her, throwing herself on the table as well and embracing her. "I didn't think they'd go that far… I wish I could've stopped them, but… but…" Ino could feel Kin's tears flowing onto her shoulder and down her back.
"Shh… it's okay…" Ino cooed, not bothering to act on the stinging sensation running over her back along with Kin's tears.
"No, It's not…" Kin choked out. "Look in the mirrors…"
Ino hadn't noticed before, but there were two mirrors in the room, angled just right so she could see her back in either of them… her jaw might've hit the floor if Kin's shoulder hadn't stopped it. Covering most of Ino's back was a large, intricate black seal, it took her a moment to realize it, but the seal was also ominously similar to the formula for an explosive note… "Oh Kami… what is it?" Ino asked, even though she had a good idea what it was…
"It's… an explosive seal…" Kin sputtered between sobs. "To be used… should you ever… disobey an order…"
Ino's eyes widened in understanding… THAT'S why they're willing to let me go… I can't do anything unless I want to die before I can even manage to do what I need to… She thought. "Dammit…"
"Naruto… really is the most kind and gentle man in the world…" Kin said, surprising Ino. "He wouldn't let Orochimaru hurt you…"
"What do you mean?" Ino asked.
"Only one person has control over your life… and Naruto wouldn't let it be Orochimaru." Kin answered. "If he did, you'd surely die. Naruto used his blood in the seal… so he's the one who controls it."
Ino couldn't believe her ears. Her life belonged to Naruto now. If she didn't do everything he wanted her to, she would die. She was little more than a slave, and Kin said he was kind and gentle? "Kin… I don't know what he told you, but…" Ino started, but she couldn't even finish her thought at Kin's next words…
"He loves you too, you know…" Kin said, pulling away from Ino. "I don't think he'd ever let any harm come to you, let alone cause it himself…"
"W-what do you mean, 'he loves me'?" Ino asked, blushing.
"I meant what I said… while you were unconscious… he asked if I wouldn't mind sharing you with him, because he wanted to date you as well…" Kin said, looking away in embarrassment. It was no small secret in Oto that Kin and Ino were 'seeing' each other, often more than once a day… "He said he'd already asked Tayuya, and that she even encouraged him to fraternize with you…" She giggled.
Ino flushed red. "Y-you… you mean he wants to have sex with me!?"
"Among… other things…" Kin said, giggling again. "I'm sure he wouldn't' mind a foursome…" This made Ino blush further… sex with Kin she could handle, but she had no idea if she'd be able to stand Tayuya in bed, and having sex with a man was, in a word, frightening for her… "Ino… one thing is certain in all this… we want you to stay with us…" Ino was about to voice some sort of objection when she was cut off. "As soon as Naruto becomes the Otokage, I'm sure he'll use his influence to make sure there wouldn't be a problem marrying all three of us…" Kin blushed. "Or… me marrying you…" Ino blushed as Kin leaned in and kissed her passionately.
Me? Marry Kin? Ino thought as their tongues lashed together. I don't think I'd mind that at all… and I suppose if Kin loves him, I can give Naruto a chance too… When Kin and Ino separated, the blonde girl took in a deep breath and said; "Kin… I would like to stay here, with you…"
Kin smiled as she leered at her lover. "That's good…" She said, leaning towards Ino, sliding her hand into the blonde's pants as their lips met once more.
---
Around morning, Naruto walked into the sealing chamber, wondering where Kin and Ino were, when he found them. Both of them were naked atop the altar in the center of the room. "Jeez… don't those two know to shut the door at least?" Naruto sighed, walking up to their side. Ino was lying atop Kin once again, in a position that almost made Naruto question if his second love had been suckling the blonde… "Kin, wake up…" He said softly, nudging her shoulder. "It's morning…" when she didn't stir, he backed away slightly, smiling down on the pair and what they brought to mind… Naruto would admit to himself that he'd partaken of Kin in the fashion he'd imagined Ino might've, but he still chuckled at the thought of it. Soon he decided on a different approach… "Ino, wake up!" He said sternly, occasionally stealing glances at the seal on her completely bare body.
The blonde girl stirred, and when she saw the boy, immediately let out a short shriek and grabbed for the nearest pieces of clothing she could find and covered herself. "W-what are you doing here!?" Ino asked, somewhere between embarrassed and downright violent.
"I came here to tell you breakfast was getting cold…" Naruto said before turning to leave. "You wouldn't mind waking up your girlfriend, would you? And get Sasuke up, too…"
Ino blushed. That was the first time anyone other than herself and Kin even played at calling them that… part of her was embarrassed by it, but part of her, deep inside, liked it… "Kin, it's time to get up…" The blonde girl said, rubbing her body against her lover's again.
---
It didn't take long for Kin to wake up, but she was so aroused by then that they couldn't leave without expressing their love once again… When they were dressed, Ino told Kin to go on ahead and save her some food while she woke up Sasuke. It'd been days since Ino thought of Sasuke as anything more than a friend, and she was getting used to treating him as such… it was fun being in an actual relationship, rather than simply fawning over someone. After reaching his room, she opened the door and gave out a standard greeting; "Good morning Sasuke…" Once she said this, she was taken aback by the state of his room, but that only lasted an instant… The place was a mess; shelves, plants, and articles of clothing everywhere thrown and disheveled haphazardly. She couldn't help but smile, though… the boy looked so happy, surrounded on either side by no less than six young women. The Uchiha had decided he liked sex… and he liked it a LOT. Nothing could make him sleep with any less than ten of his own personal 'concubines' as his fangirls were now being referred as… she decided to let her old crush sleep, and closed the door, blushing only slightly at the memory of his naked body.
"Where's Sasuke?" Naruto asked, as Ino walked up to their table in the mess hall. 'Their' table meaning Orochimaru's personal table, but since the old snake wasn't there, that made it Naruto's personal table.
"Still sleeping with his women…" Ino muttered. She honestly thought those girls were a disgrace to their gender, throwing themselves at Sasuke like that… She couldn't help but feel a little hypocritical though… a month ago, she would've done the same in a heartbeat. "I can't believe I used to be like that…" she added halfheartedly.
"There, there, Ino… you're not one of them anymore…" Kin said, rubbing her hand along Ino's shoulder blades before letting it drop down and softly squeeze her hind, making her jump ever so slightly, much to Kin's satisfaction as she left her hand under her lover. "You're with me now…"
"Quit yer' fucking whining and eat your fucking food…" Tayuya muttered between bites. This was how breakfast was now… just the four of them…
"Ino… I bet you're wanting to know your new privileges, right?" Naruto asked, and when the other blonde nodded, he continued. "You are hereby allowed to leave the base, provided you check in every three hours. Fail to report in four, and your seal will be activated." Naruto said, causing both Ino and Kin to cringe. "The seal on your back is quite ingenious, if I do say so myself… it derives its power from you. The more chakra you have, the bigger the explosion will be. No matter how much you drain yourself, though, there's enough in the seal itself to be quite fatal." When Naruto saw Ino's mood shift into dangerous depression, he smiled and continued once again. "Don't worry, Ino… the seal will be removed the day after the invasion."
While this was cause for her to perk up slightly, she still felt less than her best. I can't make it to Konoha in ten hours, let alone three… she thought, deciding to change the subject, but only one thing would come to mind, and it made her face flush red. "K-Kin tells me that… you… are quite interested in me, Naruto…"
This caused the other blonde to blush slightly as well. "Erm… yeah, I am. That is, if you're interested…" Naruto muttered.
"Well, the girl I love loves you, so… I guess I can give you a chance…" Ino said, trying her best to sound seductive without sounding suggestive. She didn't want to sleep with the boy… not yet, anyway…
"That's great…" Naruto said, smiling. "Listen, I've got business to attend to… invasion stuff… Tayuya, Kin, why don't you show her the field of flowers I like?" With nods from both his lovers, Naruto bowed slightly and took his leave.
"Oooh!!! This is going to be so much fun!" Kin said, almost squealing.
"Yeah, that place is sure to blow your fucking socks off." Tayuya added.
"So, who all was Sasuke sleeping with?" Kin asked. Ino smiled… gossip was one thing she could handle…
---
Only about an hour later, Ino was stunned. The flowers were breathtaking. Naruto was right to call this field his favorite place in the world… "Amazing…" Ino muttered. "It's like it goes on for miles…"
"It doesn't…" Kin said. "But it is pretty big, huh? There's a bare spot right over there, we should lay down…" She added, pointing near the center.
Ino complied, and soon she was on the ground, looking up at the sky as the scent of the flowers washed over her. "I love this place…" Ino said. "Now I know I want to live here…"
Kin smiled and giggled slightly, as she lay down atop the girl. "I knew you'd love it…" Kin said, resting her head on Ino's right breast while kneading the other with her hand. "Ta-yu-ya-chaaaan" Kin cooed seductively.
"No thanks Kin, I got fucked raw last night, so I'm fine." The red-head answered.
"Aww… you're no fun…" Kin whined playfully.
"Yeah, well fuck this… I'm heading off by myself for a while." Tayuya said, walking off through the flowers.
"I guess that just leaves you and me…" Kin sighed. "Oh well… I guess there're some things I wanted to say to you privately anyway…" Ino glanced up at her questioningly. "Ino, you want to stay with me, right?"
"What's this all of a sudden? Of course I to…" Ino said as she caressed her lover's back.
"Well then… I'd better tell you my condition, then." Kin said, causing Ino nearly gape at her as she crawled up and leaned her mouth next to Ino's ear, and whispered something, causing Ino's eyes to go wide and her face to flush crimson.
"You want me to-!?" Ino started, before Kin clasped her hand over her mouth.
"Shhh… yes, dear. That's my condition… as long as you don't mind doing that from time to time, we can stay together forever." Kin said, sliding back to where she was previously, softly biting down on Ino's nipple through her shirt, causing the blonde to moan.
---
Naruto soon came out to the field looking for his girls, only to find Ino and Kin once again embracing each other in the nude. "I see you naked more often than clothed these days, you know that?" Naruto asked, causing Ino to roll off of her lover and glance up at the boy while flushing red. Kin merely took it in stride, her hand slowly skimming over her right breast, where Ino's mouth had been clamped until a moment earlier. Rather than shriek and cover herself as she usually did, Ino merely lay there, propped up on her elbows, and growing an ever brighter shade of red.
"Y-y-you… l-like what you see?" Ino asked, failing to cover her embarrassment under a provocative mask.
Naruto scoffed. "Of course I do… Tell me, do you shave, or are you naturally that… bare?" His question caused the young Yamanaka to flush red to the point where she was starting to think she'd pass out.
"T-that's none of your business!" Ino snapped, reaching for her clothes and covering herself. "If you excuse me, I'll be over here…" She said, walking off into the tall flowers and dropping out of sight to clothe herself.
"Kin…" Naruto asked, his eyes still locked to the point where Ino had been. "When I got here… were you and her…?"
Kin rose to her feet and embraced him. "I… you know I'm not old enough to make much, yet… but what I can is yours and hers…" Kin said, locking her lips onto Naruto's, and sliding her tongue into his mouth. Naruto's eyes went wide as he realized he could taste Ino's flesh in her mouth. "I want to share her with you, love…" Kin whispered, pulling the boy to the ground.
---
Ino was horrified when she began to hear the sounds of passion from beyond the flowers. They're having sex!? HERE!? Her mind roared. I guess I can't say anything, me and Kin did before he showed up… She had just finished dressing herself, and was about to walk away when a thought crossed her mind. I could always look… NO! That would be rude… and embarrassing… and hot… She thought, biting her lip as she felt a fire within her once more. I guess… one peek couldn't hurt… And thus, Ino crawled through the underbrush, following the sounds of her lover moaning in ecstasy.
Ino pushed aside the last of the flowers to see Naruto atop Kin, who'd wrapped herself around him as she let him have his way with her. Both were completely nude, and Ino noted quite curiously that from what she could see, Naruto was even bigger than Sasuke…
As she watched, she couldn't help but feel her hand moving down her pants, almost of its own accord. I can't believe I'm even TEMPTED to do THAT… I mean, what if Kin saw me masturbating to her and Naruto? She'd think I was just some voyeuristic slut! She watched as Naruto and Kin's lips separated for a moment, before the boy latched his mouth to the nape of Kin's neck, a line of red falling from his lips as she turned her head and looked into the blonde girl's eyes. For an instant, her look was one of shock, but that soon turned to a grin as she winked at her lesbian lover before letting out a cry of pleasure.
"Oh, Naruto! Harder!" Kin said as she lifted her waist up as high as she could, letting Naruto's grip latch around her hips as she continued to moan.
She saw me… Ino thought. By Kami… she saw me, and it was almost like she WANTED me to watch! Ino slowly pulled down her pants and undergarments, and slid her foremost two fingers inside herself. I feel so wrong, but she wants me to, right? Maybe knowing she's being watched is making it better somehow? Ino shook the thought from her mind. All she should be thinking about is her own pleasure right now…
Kin wasn't the only one to know they had a visitor… Naruto had also seen the other blonde, and was intent on giving her a show…
---
Ino couldn't believe her eyes. They'd gone through four positions, two of which Ino didn't even recognize, and they were still going. She'd stopped pleasuring herself nearly half an hour ago… The boy obviously had tremendous stamina. She was spared any further observations when Tayuya walked back into the clearing.
"So you two are fucking again?" She asked, and the two stopped to look up at her. "I take it I'll be lonely tonight, huh?" Kin nodded apologetically, but the redhead simply shook her head. "Fuck that… I'm still raw anyway…"
Naruto nodded, removing himself from Kin before standing up and grabbing his clothes. "Come on you three, let's head back…"
Ino was paralyzed. 'You three'? He knew I was here!? She thought, as Kin trudged over to her.
"Amazing, isn't he?" Kin asked, Ino couldn't do anything but nod. "Well, let's go find something else to do for the rest of the day, shall we?" Kin asked, winking to Ino, who nodded in return.
---
Naruto was lying in Kin's bed, waiting for her to get back from her walk with Ino. After all, he was under the impression he was supposed to sleep with the ebon-haired kunoichi tonight… Much to his surprise when a long-haired blonde walked in instead… "Ino?" Naruto asked.
"Naruto…" Ino said. "K-Kin said that… I-I was s-supposed to c-c-come here a-and…"
"Ino, is something wrong?" Naruto asked, sitting up as the girl shook her head violently.
"I'm just trying to get this to come out right…" Ino said, taking a deep breath. "Kin said that I could stay with her… on one condition…"
"And that was?" Naruto asked. This piqued his interest…
"T-that I… sleep with you." Ino muttered. Naruto sighed, he was worried about that, but didn't say anything because he'd hoped the condition was something else.
"I see…" Naruto said. "And do you want to sleep with me?"
Ino stared at the boy in surprise for a moment. "I-I I… Y-ye-"
"Ino. We honestly don't know each other well enough for your answer to be 'yes'." The boy said suddenly. This shook Ino to her core. This boy was turning her down! "That's not to say I'm not interested, far from it… but if you're just doing this for Kin, then I think you should leave…"
Ino stared at him for a moment before walking over to sit on the bed next to him. "I want to leave, I really do…" She said silently. "But I also want to be here… Kin said that we'd wind up sleeping together eventually, and I believe her. I just… want to get it over with, you know?"
"And then it won't be quite so awkward when we do?" Naruto asked.
"Yeah…" Ino muttered. "That and…" Naruto saw her look down at her feet, probably to hide the deep crimson blush she was sporting. "I've… never been able to make her moan like that." Naruto could instantly tell what she wanted… "And… I… Naruto, I…"
Naruto stopped her as soon as he saw tears in her eyes. "Ino, don't cry, okay? I want you, and if you want me too, then… why not?" He asked, sporting a wide grin. Ino nodded, and in an instant, Naruto's shirt and pants were strewn on the floor with enough gusto to make Ino giggle. She slowly pulled her shirt and pants off in reply, setting them in a neat, yet unfolded pile on the floor. She was startled as cold hands touched the bare skin near the latch of her bra, causing her to jump, and look back at an apologetic Naruto. She sighed and turned back away from him, letting him undo the latch, and watched as the article fell into the pile with the rest. "Ino, do you want me to…"
Ino shook her head, and pushed her panties down herself. She could feel his eyes on her as she leaned down, causing her to blush as she set the last of her clothes with the rest before turning back to the man who would be her lover to see that he was turned away from her, having already taken off his boxers, and was setting them aside and neatly piling up his haphazardly strewn clothes as Ino had. The sight of it caused her to giggle silently, but it was loud enough to catch the other blonde's attention as he turned back to face her in all his glory. Ino flushed crimson as she saw him; the fullness of his body and muscles, his lithe frame, and most of all, the serious look he wore. After taking a deep breath, she crawled onto Kin's bed, and laid down on her back, watching him almost fearfully before calling out his name. "Naruto…"
Hearing her coo his name like that, Naruto couldn't resist her further, and began to make his way onto the bed, and held himself suspended above her. "Ino… you sure?" He asked. When the other blonde nodded, Naruto saw her tense slightly. "Okay then…"
Ino let out a small yelp as he entered her, before she realized something… That didn't hurt nearly as much as I thought it would… True, most of what she'd heard of first time pain had come from non-kunoichi friends, and her pain tolerance was monumental compared to theirs, but she still expected a little more than that… Ino then pulled the boy down onto her, and latched her mouth to his.
---
Tayuya and Kin sat outside the room, listening to the happenings inside. "You see? I told you they'd do it…" Kin muttered.
"Fuck off… he was just itching for a new fuck, that's all…" The red-head replied.
"Sure he was, I still say it was my genius that did it, though."
"Tch… fuck your 'genius'…"
---
Two hours later, Naruto lay next to a very satisfied Ino. "You know… this might be the best night of my life…" Ino said, pulling the covers of the bed up to her chin. "That was just amazing."
"Everyone says that about their first time…" Naruto groaned. "Just wait until the second…"
"I thought we were on four…"
"Erm… fourth time." Naruto corrected himself. "You know, maybe we should get some sleep, considering we're going to invade tomorrow…"
Ino sighed. "Yeah…" That place feels less and less like home by the day… She thought. "Just one more time, okay?"
"Okay…" Naruto chuckled, rolling back atop his new blonde lover.
---
The next morning, it took some time before they were ready to go as the rest of the forces were. For one thing, Kin had a new outfit she and Tayuya found for Ino, which Naruto thought looked 'hot' on her, so they felt no harm was done… now, only the four of them remained behind out of the invasion force. Naruto and Tayuya were critical, yet Kin and Ino were simply two more of Naruto's soldiers… "Okay, Ino, Kin… your jobs will be to target the Genin and Chuunin. Take down as many as you can without killing them, and if you see someone that looks like a Jounin, run." The two in question nodded. "Tayuya already knows her part, and I'm just going to waste every Jounin I come across… Ino, you're going to wait outside the gates until the invasion starts, then you charge in. Kin, you are coming with me, Henge'd as Sasuke to take his place in the finals, since he's staying back because Orochimaru doesn't want to endanger him for some reason…" Naruto said, scoffing after the last part. Once again, Ino and Kin nodded.
Kin put her hands together into a seal, and in a puff of smoke, a duplicate of Sasuke stood in her place. "I think we're ready, then…" 'He' said.
"Yup." Naruto muttered, grabbing hold of Ino and Sasuke-Kin's shoulders while they each grabbed onto Tayuya's wrists, and one queasy sensation later, they were standing in a dense forest. "Okay, Tayuya and Ino, you two head off that way…" Naruto said, pointing northeast. "And I'll go with 'Sasuke' here." Naruto said, once again grabbing hold of Kin's shoulder and teleporting them with Shunshin.
They reappeared atop one of the walls surrounding the arena, just above the spectator seats. "You think we're too late?" 'Sasuke' asked.
"Nah. I mean, look at this…" Naruto said, holding out a piece of paper with scribbles on it, obviously belonging to Zaku, and this is what it read:
Temari VS Nara Shikamaru
Aburame Shino VS Kankuro
Kinuta Dosu VS Abumi Zaku
Sabaku no Gaara VS Uchiha Sasuke
Rock Lee VS Eichi Kanjin
"You see?" Naruto asked. "Plenty of time… that, and you won't be doing any fighting…"
"What do you mean?"
"Gaara has been informed that the Uchiha will not be joining us. Instead, the invasion begins when your match starts…" Naruto said, squinting as he looked down on the battlefield. "Ooh! I think our boys are up next!" Naruto added, having just seen Kankuro forfeit.
"Kinuta Dosu against Abumi Zaku!" The proctor announced, and the young Oto nin appeared in the middle of the arena.
"Now, you know how this must end…" Dosu stated.
"Fate is on my side!" Zaku proclaimed.
Dosu's hand shot out of his sleeve for an instant, and a glint of metal could be seen rising into the air from it. "HEADS!" Zaku yelled.
As the coin fell, it was caught by Dosu, who slapped it onto the back of his hand. "…Tails."
"FUCK!" Zaku snapped, raising his hand before stating; "I forfeit."
The entire crowd went silent. Even the proctor was gaping openly at them. They decided it with a coin toss!? That just isn't supposed to happen! "Winner… Kinuta Dosu… apparently…"
Naruto smirked. He knew exactly what they did. No fighting means no wasted chakra. They're still at their best when the battle starts… "Your turn, Kin…" Naruto stated, slapping his hand onto 'his' shoulder, and transporting them to the arena's center.
Gaara too used Shunshin to appear in the arena, and in an instant, he and the false Uchiha were glaring daggers at one another. Questions arose from all around them throughout the spectator seats of where the Uchiha's been, and why he was with an Oto nin when he mysteriously reappeared… until thousands of white feathers began descending from the sky…
Kabuto's Genjutsu… Naruto thought. Right on schedule… now, I just need to make sure everything goes off without a hitch… He watched as the 'Kazekage' spirited the Hokage away, and saw as thousands of people fell unconscious, but it was the ones still awake that he was concerned with… "Kin! You know what to do!" Naruto yelled as he dashed away.
"Right!" Kin yelled, reverting back to herself in a puff of smoke. Gaara's siblings appeared beside him, and in an instant, they were gone.
---
Ino took the initial explosions of the assault as her cue, and dashed into the village. Being a Konoha native, she easily found her way through each of the streets and avoided a handful of combat situations and Jounin Konoha ninja. Huh… looks like all the 'weak' people are at the arena… She thought, dashing off in the direction Kin and Naruto were surely to be found, until a familiar voice caught her off-guard…
"Ino!" The man yelled, causing Ino to skid to a halt atop the roof she was running along.
No… it couldn't be… She thought as she turned to see her father with tears welling up in his eyes. She convinced herself the sight of him tearing up was what caused her own tears, but hers had begun to form as soon as she heard his voice. "…Daddy?" She asked.
"Ino… it is you…" The elder blonde said, holding out his arms as he took several weary steps toward her. "My little princess is safe… come on, now, I'll take you home to your mother, everything is going to be fine…" He couldn't help but let out joyous sobs as his daughter ran into his arms.
"Daddy…?"
"Yes, princess?" He asked, before he felt a sharp prick in the back of his neck. "Wha-!?"
"I'm not 'your little princess' anymore…" Ino answered as she pulled the small syringe from his artery. As she watched her father fall to his knees, the sedatives already taking effect, she added; "I'm sorry, but I just saved your life, daddy..."
"Inoichi!?" She heard from behind her, and spun on her heel to find two of the last people she wanted to see right now…
"I-Ino?" Choza asked. "Shikaku! It's Ino!" The elder Akimichi exclaimed.
Nara Shikaku, the man who called out to Ino's father, glared daggers into her eyes. "Choza… her chest…"
"…Now that's just not right, Shikaku…" His teammate muttered.
"NO! Her hitai-ite! She's an Oto-nin!" The Nara man said, with what Ino could see was a lot of energy on the part of the notoriously lazy Nara men. (Although still quite lackadaisically in her opinion)
"By Kami…" The large man said. "You're right…"
Ino backed away slowly from the two, who each now had a hand on their kunai pouches. I can't beat them! They're both JOUNIN! Daddy was a fluke, but now I'm going to die! Ino thought. T-they might not kill me, and just take me in, right? Her mind went over the situation thoroughly before she came to a conclusion. She was going to die… either by their hands or the executioner's after being tried as a missing-nin… "Shikaku-san… Choza-san…" Ino said, tears flowing down her cheeks as she drew a kunai of her own. "I will not… be taken alive…" Both of the Jounin looked at the girl in shock as she put her kunai to her own throat. "Stay back…" She muttered coldly.
"Ino… don't do it. We can help you…" Choza said, dropping his kunai and holding a hand out to the girl.
"She's obviously been brainwashed, Choza…" Shikaku said, his tone matching the ice of Ino's. "She's the enemy now."
In the time it took Ino to blink her tears away, the two Jounin in front of her fell to the roof, a familiar figure standing between them. "K-Kabuto-hentai?"
The silver-haired medic-nin sighed. "I've told you and the other girls not to call me that, have I not?" He asked, pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose. "Anyway, you are needed elsewhere, ne?"
"R-right!" Ino said, sprinting away across the rooftops.
"You two… are rather lucky…" Kabuto said after she had left earshot. "That Kazama-sama forbade me from causing or allowing any unnecessary loss of life on either side of this conflict…"
"K-Kazama!?" Shikaku asked, his body temporarily paralyzed by Kabuto's strikes to his and Choza's nervous systems.
"Kazama Naruto-sama, apprentice of my master, Orochimaru-sama." Kabuto answered as he walked away.

On Kakashi's order, Sakura was waking everyone 'she could trust to help' in his own words, and was currently crawling over to Shikamaru with a confused Chouji, Hinata, Lee, Tenten, Shino, Kiba, and Iruka behind her. Several of them, like Iruka, were already awake, and she simply collected everyone up. As she neared Shikamaru, she saw him twitch slightly. "You're still awake, aren't you?" Sakura asked, her voice permeated with Irritation.
"Tch… of course he is…" She heard from behind her.
"I-Ino?" Sakura asked, turning along with everyone, including Shikamaru, to gape at the girl. "W-what the hell are you wearing!?"
Ino was about to answer when she felt soft hands wrap around her waist. "She's wearing the outfit I found for her, isn't that right, Ino-chan?" Kin asked, drawing her name out seductively.
"Yeah…" Ino answered, twisting her body as Kin leaned over, planting a soft kiss on her lips, leading the jaws of all present to hit the floor. "Where's Naruto-kun?"
"Oh, he's off playing with some Jounin…" Kin answered, rubbing her hands over Ino's stomach sensually. "So, who are your friends?"
Before Ino could answer, she was cut off by a rather… rude… comment. "No wonder she'd never go out with me!" Kiba scoffed. "She's a lesbian!"
"Tch… I'm BI dog-face." Ino snapped. "Everyone, this is Kin, my girlfriend… Kin, these are my ex-teammates Shikamaru and Chouji, my old friend Sakura, the loudmouth dog-boy is Kiba, that's Hinata and… I'm not sure I know the rest of you… Oh! And Iruka-sensei…"
"Y-you're… an Oto-nin?" Iruka asked, a slight tinge of fear in his eyes that spread to several of the others as they heard the question, but an answer was destined never to come…
"HYA-HURK!" They heard, as the silver-haired Chuunin from the academy known as Mizuki tried to thrust a kunai into Kin's back, only to find that she'd jammed three senbon in his stomach. The man gurgled slightly before falling back, coughing up blood.
"Huh… well, that was stupid of him, wasn't it?" Kin asked, looking back at the man.
"G-girlfriend?" Sakura asked. "What about Sasuke-kun!?"
"What about him? Last I saw of him, he was surrounded by about a dozen whores, and I'm not lowering myself to that level…" Ino answered.
"S-Sasuke-kun wouldn't…" Sakura muttered.
"Yes, he would." Ino cut in. "He's rebuilding his clan. If memory serves, he's already gotten three of them pregnant…"
"N-no… Sasuke-kun wouldn't… how DARE you say such things about-" Sakura started.
"Hey! At least MY man is worth something!" Ino snapped, wrenching herself from Kin's grip for a moment.
"Yeah!" Kin concurred.
"I'm going to be the third wife of the Nidaime Otokage someday, while you still want to be the Uchiha's…" Ino started counting on her fingers sarcastically before continuing; "twenty-sixth whore? Honestly, Sakura… you can do better than that…"
"S-Sasuke-kun wouldn't…" Sakura started, before Kiba cut in.
"Third wife!? Who's the first two then?"
Kin cleared her throat before speaking up, beaming with pride. "I'm number two, and Tayuya is number one, although she's not here right now…"
Just then, the entire foundation of the arena shook as a green blur was smashed through the side of the arena. "GAI SENSEI!?!" Lee yelled.
"Go Naruto-kun!" Ino and Kin cheered together.
"Rooting for the wrong side, aren't you Ino-pig?" Sakura asked, an instant later Kin's vice-like grip had pinned the pink-haired girl's throat to the wall.
"You weren't talking to my Ino-chan, were you?" Kin asked.
"Oh, let Sakura go, Kin…" Ino muttered. Sakura hadn't realized it until now, but she hadn't called her 'forehead girl' once so far… "I'm sure she didn't mean it, ne Sakura-chan?" Ino asked, adding a seductive suffix to her name for reasons Sakura couldn't quite understand… "Besides, Naruto-kun is my lover, I'm allowed to cheer for him, aren't I?"
"Y-your…" Sakura started, letting out a shriek as Naruto appeared behind Ino and Kin, two large red tails flitting behind him. His eyes were practically glowing red, his whisker marks were more pronounced, and his teeth and nails had grown and sharpened considerably. In a word, he looked feral.
"We're leaving…" Naruto stated coldly.
"But… I haven't gotten a chance to catch up with Sakura and the gang yet…" Ino said, pouting.
Naruto sighed. "All right, we'll just bring them along, will that work?" He asked, no small amount of irritation in his voice.
"Yup, that'd be great!" Ino said, hugging the demonic boy before tackling the group of Genin and their teacher, making certain the entire group was connected by skin contact in some way or another as Naruto sighed. Kin set her hand on his shoulder as Naruto planted his hand on Ino's hind and gave it a firm squeeze, the entire group vanishing as Naruto used Shunshin.
"GAH! Where is Gaara!?" Baki roared from the fray.

Near a clearing in the forest, Temari sat on a tree branch next to her youngest brother, tapping her foot impatiently against the wood. "Tch… 'Pull back and await further instruction' my ass…" Kankuro muttered from another nearby tree.
"Orders are orders…" Temari muttered.
---
The group appeared in a flurry of leaves on the outskirts of Konoha's forests, Naruto's chakra tails retracting into his body along with the rest of the red chakra covering his body. "We're on the outskirts of your village." Naruto said, answering the unasked question everyone was wondering. "Now, get to your talking while we wait for Orochimaru."
"O-Orochimaru!?" Iruka asked, a twinge of fear in his voice.
"Yes. He led the invasion." Naruto stated.
"Yay!" Ino cheered. "Now we can catch up!"
"Catch up about what exactly?" Sakura said coldly. "You turned traitor and helped try to destroy your home…"
Ino nearly glared down at Sakura, tears forming in the corners of her eyes. "I'll have you know, Oto is my home, now!" Ino snapped.
"Plus, there's always the fact that she kinda had to…" Kin said, walking over to Ino and pulling down the back of her kimono top, causing each of the boys save Naruto and the Aburame to flush red at least slightly.
"Oh, grow up… my boobs are still covered…" Ino scoffed.
Kin then turned Ino around, the majority of the explosive seal now visible, save what was covered by her bindings. "With this seal, she goes boom if she disobeys an order." Kin stated. "Probably take out, what, everything in a quarter-mile radius?"
When Kin said this, every Leaf nin present backed away. "I think you're overestimating the explosive power of Ino's chakra a little…" Naruto said, and the group sighed. "The seal takes all of Ino's chakra and detonates it… at about full capacity, I'd say she might be able to take out a quarter mile radius, yes… but right now I'd probably say it's more like a quarter mile diameter…" Everyone started backing away again.
"Oi… Na-erm… no one would set off the seal with Naruto standing right next to her…" Kin said, somewhat knowingly.
"That makes me feel sooo much better…" Sakura shot sarcastically.
"Uhhm… do we really have to stay here?" Kiba asked, trying for the life of him to sound polite.
"Nope…" Naruto muttered. "But here is a lot safer for you than back there, so I'd probably just camp out over there until this whole thing blows over if I were you…" he added, pointing to a small clearing in the trees, just inside the border of forest.
"Or…" The boy in green spandex said, dropping into his attack stance. "We could simply defeat you and be on our way…"
"Lee, was it?" Naruto asked. "I beat your sensei, Lee… That guy who looks just like you, right?" Lee's eyes widened in shock "I gave him two fatal wounds, too… I tell you, he's more stubborn than pinky, here…" The blonde added, pointing to Sakura. "That man just wouldn't die, I tell you… so I flung him out the other side of the damn stadium…"
"You threw Gai-sensei THROUGH the arena!?" The girl known as Tenten asked.
"Actually, I'm pretty sure he took out the building on the other side too… scary thing was, I think I saw him get back up before I came to get you guys…" Naruto scoffed, smirking slightly. "That man can take a lot of punishment… Two tails and he was still a decent challenge…"
"Two… tails?" Sakura asked. She was starting to be the speaker for the group, since she was Ino's friend, and the least likely of them to die for speaking out of turn…
"I am the Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi no Youko, better known as Kyuubi no Kitsune, the bijuu that nearly destroyed Konohagakure twelve years ago." Naruto said, not giving anyone time to interrupt. "I was referring to drawing on the power of two of its nine tails. I'll admit, I've gotten to three… once… but Orochimaru said two was good for now since I kinda' go crazy if I try any more…"
"Tayuya has the scars to prove it…" Kin muttered.
"B-but… the Kyuubi was ki-"
"Sealed, not killed." Naruto said, cutting off the pink-haired Kunoichi. "Even dad couldn't kill a bijuu, let alone the most powerful of them, so he gave his life to seal it in his own son… I think he was hoping I'd grow to love Konoha, and use the Kyuubi as a blade against their enemies… But, all good plans have a few kinks in them… namely the fact that I got snatched right out of dad's dying arms…"
"Y-you're saying that…" Sakura stuttered, trying with all her might not to believe her ears.
"My name is Kazama Naruto, son of Kazama Arashi, better known as Yondaime Hokage-sama. I am also the vessel of the Kyuubi no Kitsune…" He stated, his tone cold and almost condescending.
"By Kami…" Iruka and several of the Genin muttered.
"So, Sakura!" Ino said, kneeling down in front of her friend. "Did Sayuri ever ask Tomaro out or what?"
The pink-haired girl was completely taken aback. They were in a life-and-death situation and she wanted to gossip!? "Erm… yeah… he turned her down." Sakura answered.
"Oh, that's too bad, they would've been cute together." Ino muttered. "What about you? Anyone ask you out?" She added, smiling.
"Erm…" Sakura blushed slightly as she turned back to the group, and Ino saw her eye Lee suspiciously. "Well, yeah…"
"Oh my… you and Lee?" Ino said, just loud enough do that the entire group could hear it, causing Sakura's blush to further exponentially. "He is a step up from Sasuke, though…" She stated, hearing a firm 'YOSH!' from somewhere in the group.
"How can you say that about Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked; scorn laced in her voice.
"Because it's true, Sakura… face it, he'll never have romantic feelings for anyone, let alone you, but if you still want to bear his child then I guess you can come with us, and you can stand in line!" Ino snapped.
"What gives you the right to say things like that!?" Sakura yelled, tears forming in her eyes.
"A: I've SEEN Sasuke with his whores, and trust me, that's all they are, and that's all you'd be. B: I've seen and heard that perverted doctor Kabuto telling Naruto and Orochimaru that Sasuke already has at least three kids on the way, and C: I'M not a virgin like some of us here, so I know a hell of a lot more about sex than you." Ino snapped, blushing slightly as she realized what she'd just admitted to everyone there…
"You've had sex?" Sakura asked, this new revelation doing its best to push all other facts from Sakura's mind, including those about Sasuke.
"Erm… yeah…" Ino muttered, taking a deep breath as she grinned, leered at Naruto and practically tackled the immovable blonde boy. "Naruto-kun here made me a woman last night…"
Naruto turned his head away and scoffed, trying to hide his embarrassment and the light blush on his cheeks as Kin stepped up beside them and added; "Over and over again…" which caused the boy's face to flush crimson.
Sakura, along with the other Genin and Iruka, gaped at the pair as Ino's hand floated to Naruto's chin, turning his head until they faced each other, and kissed him passionately. This elicited a rather… unique reaction from her pink-haired friend. "Have you no SHAME!?"
Ino glanced over at the other girl with a perplexed look adorning her features for some reason. "Why should I?" Ino asked. "He's my boyfriend, and my lover, I'm allowed to do these things, aren't I?"
Before Sakura could answer, Kin strode up behind Ino and clasped her hands to the blonde girl's hips, turning her around before resting her arms around her waist. "Of course not, Ino-chan…" Kin said, before leaning forward and engaging her in a fervent battle of the tongues that easily put Ino's kiss with Naruto to shame.
"Daaaayum…" Kiba muttered, causing each of his fellow Leaf-nin to glance at him curiously before glaring slightly at his next words. "I'm on the wrong side…"
If any of you think Ino's a little too OOC for her own good, too bad. My fic, MY naughty Ino. Frankly, she's just coming to terms with the fact that she's one of the 'bad guys' and doesn't HAVE to abide by Konoha's 'social taboos' anymore.
Assume the Sarutobi/Orochimaru fight went as in canon. That's exactly how it goes.
To anyone who's wondering anything about this fic; I'm pretty sure I'll explain it all next chapter… I'll try to answer any questions though, and the pertinent ones at the start of next chapter, unless of course they give away plot. Then you'll just have to find out for yourself, ne?
