Chapter 4: Cry of pain
Sakura had managed to move both of her teammates to a tree that had been lifted up by another one's roots, creating a small den of sorts. She had both lying down, wet cloths on their heads. Both had a fever and kept jerking and twitching in pain. They seemed to be having fever driven nightmares, Sasuke mentioning his parents and someone named Itachi a few times, Naruko begging people to leave her alone and to stop hurting her. Sakura found it odd that she preferred listening to Naruko. Sakura had long since figured the two were reliving past memories, so who would have hurt the girl so much that she would beg them to stop?
"You know," Sakura said, having nothing better to do than to talk to the redhead, "you better not be going after Sasuke-kun or else I'm going to beat the crap out of you. You may have taken his first kiss, but everything else is mine!"
Seeing that both were fine for a while, Sakura went and started setting traps so she could keep an eye on her teammates with relative calm. Afterwards she returned and continued talking to the redhead, keeping herself awake.
[Day 3, 8am]
Sakura was exhausted. She had very little stamina to begin with, so this was just plain self-inflicted torture. She lifted her gaze and saw a squirrel headed towards them. She threw a kunai to scare it away. She looked at her teammates, watching that creepy black chakra rising from Sasuke's neck. Naruko's had long since turned a dark, stormy blue color. She wondered what that chakra was. Even the tiny wisps of it felt oppressive. She wrung out Sasuke's cloth and replaced it after soaking it again.
"Well well well. What do we have here?"
Sakura looked up to see three people, two boys and a girl. The girl looked normal enough, actually kind of plain. One of the boys wore an over coat and bandages all over his face, only revealing one eye. The other boy was wearing fairly normal clothes, though he used a face protector to hold his hair back. All their headbands identified them as Oto-nin.
"What do you want?" Sakura asked as she prepared a shuriken.
"We are here to kill that Uchiha and redhead," the one wearing the headgear snapped as he stepped forward.
"Zaku! Stop!" the mummy man ordered, "there is a trap in front of you."
Zaku looked down and lifted up the camouflage over the trap. "What the hell... This is just sad."
The kunoichi laughed slightly as she looked at the trap. "Did a civilian do this?" She looked around, noticing the other ones easily. "So pathetic."
"Don't let your guard down Kin," Mummy man warned, "there may be very well hidden traps amongst the obvious ones. Remember, double traps."
Zaku didn't listen and started moving forward through the gaps. "This bitch is too weak, Dosu," Zaku said as he neared the tree, "this is too easy..."
Dosu twitched. "Zaku! Down!" he shouted.
"Wha?"
"Konoha Senpū!"
A spinning whirlwind of green appeared and slammed into Zaku, sending him flying back to his team. The whirlwind stopped and became a boy with bowl cut black hair, extremely thick eye brows. He was wearing a green spandex outfit with orange leg warmers. "Rock Lee, Konoha's Beautiful Green Wild Beast arrives to help Haruno Sakura, Konoha's most beautiful flower," he stated, the last part accompanied by a wink and a kiss being blown in Sakura's direction. She dodged the flying kiss. "I will protect you and then we will go on a Youthful date," the declared. Sakura silently screamed 'NO!'
"Pay attention," Dosu said as he appeared before Lee, arm pulled back for a punch.
Lee dodged the attack, but suddenly spat up blood. Dosu seemed satisfied until Lee kicked him into the air. He then jumped after him, appearing behind him. "The conditions have been met," he stated as the bandages on his arms unravelled, only to wind around Dosu to immobile him. Lee redirected them so their heads were pointed towards the ground, then sent them spinning. "Omote Renge!" he shouted as they slammed into the ground, Lee flying out of the dust cloud. When the cloud cleared, it showed Dosu buried up to his waist in the dirt.
"You got him!" Sakura cheered, but Lee's hard gaze dampened her mood.
"It was too soft," he muttered.
Dosu pulled himself out of the ground. "Thanks Zaku," he said. Sakura and Lee's gazes trailed to the aforementioned genin, who had somehow lifted the ground after placing his hands on it. He had softened the ground to minimize the damage.
Lee went to move, but his body suddenly started aching. It was the side effect of using Omote Renge. Zaku pointed his hands at Lee, revealing holes with pipes in the palms of his hands. "Zankūha!" he shouted as concentrated air slammed into Lee, sending him sailing into a tree. "Now that green boy is down, let's get rid of pinky here and crush the sleeping idiots," Zaku said.
Zaku swung at Sakura's head, making her scramble forward. Sakura got up and swung a kunai down, striking Zaku in his shoulder. "Bitch!" he roared as he backhanded her across the face.
Sakura didn't even get a chance to get up, Kin 'helped' her up by grabbing her hair and yanked Sakura onto her knees. "Such nice, soft hair," Kin admired as she ran her free hand through the pink locks, "are you a ninja or a hair stylist? So much time wasted when you could have been training."
Sakura had come up with a plan to escape, but it required cutting her hair short. She drew out the kunai when three figures ran, well one had help, into the clearing. "I've heard enough!" Ino shouted as she stood there with Shikamaru, both holding onto Choji's scarf, "no one is going to hurt my Sasuke-kun!"
Before anyone could truly recover from Team 10's random entry into the battle, Shikamaru had captured Zaku with his shadow jutsu. "Shintenshin no Jutsu!" Ino shouted as she took control of Kin's body, releasing Sakura's hair.
"We have one of your teammates, leave or we will destroy her," Shikamaru warned. Dosu smashed Kin/Ino in the stomach, making both bodies cough up blood. "Dammit! Release the jutsu, these guys don't care for their teammates," Shikamaru ordered. Ino released the jutsu, feeling the pain as soon as she re-entered her own body. Zaku managed to break free of Shikamaru's jutsu as well.
"This isn't good," Shikamaru muttered.
Suddenly, a blue clad figure appeared next to Zaku. "You did this to Sakura," Sasuke said as he swung his arm down on Zaku's head, sending the boy skidding across the ground. Now that they got a good look at the Uchiha, they saw he had black splotches all over his body, all of them coming from his neck.
"Sa-Sasuke-kun?" Sakura asked.
"I know what she gave me now." Sasuke lifted his left hand up to see the marks take it over. "Power. Just like I wanted."
"What?" Sakura didn't know what he meant. Did he mean the bite mark?
"I am an avenger. I live to destroy that man." Sasuke dropped his hand as the marks spread over more than half his face. "First, I have to deal with this trash." He vanished, reappearing next to Kin. He drove his knee into her stomach, sending her into the air. He reappeared above her and slammed a heel drop into her side, sending her flying into Dosu's arms.
"Fuck off asshole!" Zaku shouted as he fired a very large Zankūha at the heir, but Sasuke vanished again. The Uchiha delivered a vicious blow to Zaku's back, then smirked at him.
"So that is all there is to you?" he asked as he seized Zaku's arms. "Without these arms, you are even worse than trash." He placed his foot on Zaku's back and started pulling.
"Wait! Not my arms!" Zaku pleaded. Those pleas fell on deaf ears as Sasuke pulled back, sickening cracks coming from Zaku's shoulders as the bones dislocated from the pressure. The crazed heir grinned down at his enemy as he reached forward. Breaking his arms wasn't enough, no, trash like him needed those useless things ripped right off!
"Sasuke!" Sakura shouted as she wrapped her arms around the boy's upper body. "No more. You've done enough."
For Sasuke, it was like a bolt of light cut through a black haze. The marks receded. "S-Sakura?" He looked around. "Did I...do this?"
Sakura shook her head as she rested it on his back. "You weren't in control of yourself."
"What? Stop!"
They looked over to see Naruko straddling Kin, strangling her. The rust red haired girl had a blank, but savage look in her eyes as a vicious, snarling grin spread across her face. Naruko had whisker-like marks again, though the two red markings on each cheek looks more like fang tattoos than the old whisker scars. Kin gurgled, losing the ability to futilely fight off the girl.
"Does she have to curse seal too?" Dosu asked himself, catching Sakura's interest. Dosu ran over and swung his arm at Naruko, but the girl used the same speed she used in Wave to avoid the attack. Dosu only had enough time to register that he had missed when Naruko decided to assault him off. Blurs of red, black and silver appeared and disappeared around him as he was pummelled from all sides. A sweeping, slap-like strike knocked him onto his back and Naruko jumped onto him, grabbing his arms as she pinned him to the ground. He tried to throw her off, but she was far too strong!
"These things... Do you think something this weak and pathetic makes you strong?" she asked as she held her face a few inches from his own, "you can never be as powerful as me!" She crushed Dosu's right arm, armor and bone snapping. Dosu screamed in agony as one of his arms become useless. She threw him away using his uninjured arm.
"Naruko!" Shikamaru shouted, "stop it! They're finished!"
She turned her gaze on him, scaring him at the levels of KI that suddenly hit him. Her slitted eyes seemed to bore into his soul and set it ablaze with freezing fire. "I will stop when I want to stop!" she growled, then vanished again.
"Shit!" Shikamaru grunted as he realized what Naruko was about to do and how he had absolutely no way to counter it.
Luckily, the local wild life decided it wanted a meal.
A giant tiger jumped into the clearing, drawn to the blood and fear it smelled. Naruko reappeared a small distance from it. To everyone's shock, the great beast balked in fear before the tiny redhead. It backed away slowly, keeping her in its sight as it practically dragged itself away. This sight amused Naruko long enough for Sakura and Sasuke to grab her.
"What? Let me go!" she barked as she tried to shake them off.
"No!" Sakura whined as the redhead shook her hard, "you are not the Naruko I know right now!"
"She is right," Sasuke grunted as he almost lost his grip on the girl's other arm, "You are the dobette, not a ruthless killer!"
"Get off me now! I want to rip them apart!" Naruko roared, the shock wave from her shout knocking everyone but her down. She went to go finish Kin off, but Sakura grabbed her around the waist from the front. "Get off!"
SLAP!
Everyone looked in shock, having just seen Sakura slap a girl who just caused a very large tiger to basically wet itself in fear. The slap caused Naruko to watch in shock as Sakura stood up before her.
"You are Naruko!" Sakura shouted in the girl's face, then she wrapped her arms around her, "you are Naruko...not Gato or the old Zabuza."
Naruko's eyes widened. Everyone watched as the pupils returned to a normal shape, the claws changing to long nails, the hair becoming a lighter shade of rust red and the incredible KI weakening. The fang marks remained though. "Sakura...chan?" she asked, then she slumped to the ground, taking Sakura with her. Rather than lie the girl down, Sakura cradled her in the same hug that returned the redhead to her senses.
"We have no hope of defeating Sasuke or Naruko," Dosu said, getting everyone's attention, "I give you this in hope that it will satisfy you in place of our lives." He put a scroll case down, an Earth scroll laying half out of it. Dosu put Kin over his injured arm's shoulder, then grabbed Zaku by the collar of his shirt and dragged him away.
After about twenty minutes of rest, in which Team 9 showed up and took Lee away for field treatment, Sasuke and Naruko recovered from whatever episode they had suffered. Naruko, upon awakening, almost knocked herself out again when she noticed she was in Sakura's lap. She had literally shot up, a stream of apologies falling out of her mouth as she flung herself at a large stone. Sakura had giggled as she warned Naruko about the stone, which Naruko turned to look at it time to bang her forehead protector off it. She was definitely back to normal.
"Well..." Shikamaru said, "that was all weird even by Naruto, I mean Naruko's standards, which are extremely high. We should go before it gets more troublesome around here." Team 10 made their exit.
"What happened while I was out?" Naruko asked.
"You don't remember?" Sakura asked. She had also asked Sasuke if he remembered. He claimed he could, but it was hazy and it felt like he hadn't been in control of himself.
"I remember..." she said in shame, "but I was talking about this!" She held out her hands, showing the now clean and well manicured nails. They even had pale red paint on them. "They weren't like this before... Oh no! Did I hurt somebody else?"
Sakura bonked her on the head. "That was Ino-pig. She said something about your nails being an insult to women, then cleaned, cut and painted them while you were out." She looked at her own rough nails, wondering if she needed a bit of a cut.
"Enough girl talk. I didn't sign up for it. Besides, we have more important things to worry about" Sasuke said.
"I didn't sign up for it either!" Naruko shouted, "and how do you know what girl talk is? I still don't know what it is and I'm a girl!"
Sakura wanted to hear of Sasuke's worry. "Is this about the scrolls?"
Sasuke nodded. "Our original scroll is gone and we got this scroll from Team Dosu." He held up the Earth scroll. "We need to get a Heaven scroll and then head for the tower."
"And because she burned our scroll up, that means there is one less team going through..." Sakura wished she had been able to save the scroll. With their old scroll and Team Dosu's scroll, they would have been able to head for the tower.
"It might be worse than that," Sasuke said, "for all we know, more than one scroll has been destroyed." He let the two girls process this before he spoke again. "We should make a camp and rest." Sakura agreed right away, she was exhausted after staying up all night and then fighting. Naruko silently agreed, neither of her teammates noticing her wince as she moved.
[Day Four, 3pm]
Sakura was fishing for something to eat that wouldn't eat them back while Naruko was contemplating something. Sasuke had gone scouting and gathering, saying fish wasn't enough to replenish their strength.
Ziiiiiiip.
Sakura looked over just as Naruko was about to remove her dress. She saw what bothered her from before and grabbed the girl, holding her tightly. "S-S-S-Sakura-chan!" Naruko stammered as she turned bright red.
"I need to talk to you about...that," Sakura was blushing now, sending the wrong signals to Naruko.
"W-what is it?" Naruko asked with more than a little hope in her voice. Could Sakura be talking about what Naruko was thinking about? She discreetly pinched herself, thinking the the last two days had been a dream. It wasn't a dream! She looked down at the pink haired girl.
"You can't keep that up," Sakura's blush started travelling down her neck, then she pointed to Naruko's chest, "going...c-c-commando"
Naruko looked down at her chest, wondering what Sakura meant. What was missing? A shirt? Suddenly, she remembered that time when she had been crawling around in the air ducts at school, attempting to sneak into the teacher's lounge to set up a prank. The ducts had disagreed with the extra weight and broke, dumping the then boy into a classroom. When she managed to look up, she remembered a very pissed off Ino standing there, fists ready for a beat down. She remembered that all the girls had been in their underwear with Ino and Hinata wearing something on their chests none of the others were wearing. What was that called again? Kakashi-sensei had mentioned it once when trying to teach Naruko about women using his Icha Icha novels. Oh yeah! It was a bra.
Naruko felt like she was half idiot, half moron now. Girls were supposed to wear two pieces of underwear. She had made the awkward transition to girl's underwear, just tight underwear that didn't cover nearly as much as boy's underwear, with some trouble. (It kept going where it wasn't supposed to!) She had been so nervous that she didn't realize the shop keeper was trying to help her out with a full set.
Naruko didn't want to do that again, so she had to find a way to avoid going back. Hmm. IDEA! "Sakura-chan! Can you lend me yours?"
Sakura's blush came back with a vengeance, making her neck and face the same color as her dress. "N-No!" she shouted/stuttered as she turned away quickly. Naruko felt bad. Maybe girls didn't share underwear, even when they wore the same size and brand. As Shikamaru said; girls are troublesome.
Sakura was blushing hard, but it was embarrassment that fuelled this blush. She couldn't admit it. She couldn't and wouldn't share her underwear with Naruko because she dreaded hearing the redhead say that they were too tight, especially the bra. Naruko had to at least be a B-cup while Sakura was an (A)A-cup. She would have to round up Ino later to take the redhead to a store to get what she needed.
"Hey, Sakura-chan!" Naruko called over, having done up her dress again.
"What?" Sakura turned to see the redhead holding their Earth scroll up.
"How are we going to get another scroll?" Naruko asked, "there's less than a day left." Sakura started thinking. It was true that at least one Heaven scroll had been destroyed. For all they knew, all the scroll pairs had been gathered and they were just wasting their time. "I have an idea," Naruko dumped a ton of scrolls on the ground. "I always carry lots of scrolls with me, lots of them blank. All we need to do is make one of them look like a Heaven scroll."
Sakura thought it was brilliant, but then it hit her. "We don't know what is written in the scrolls."
Naruko frowned. She had thought it was like the first test, where just having the scroll meant it was a pass. She never thought that something was actually written inside. "Then we just write what we need on the inside."
Sakura sighed. "It is most likely some kind of complicated ninja code."
"Then we open this Earth scroll and figure out what is probably on the Heaven scroll." Naruko was getting more and more annoyed now.
Sakura thought for a few moments. "But what if it is a different code in each scroll."
Naruko grumbled. Seems this was a useless idea. She gathered up her scrolls and put them away. Then stared angrily at the Earth scroll. "How can we get a Heaven scroll..."
"I may be able to help there."
Both girls turned around to see Kabuto walking up to them. "I must say that I am glad that you didn't open that scroll."
Naruko tilted her head slightly. "Why is that?"
"Because you would have wound up like those Iwa genin I passed about twenty minutes ago; knocked out on your back." Kabuto smirked at the amusing memory. The girls didn't find it so amusing. "I heard that you needed a scroll," the grey haired teen said, "I can help you get one."
"Thanks for the help," Sasuke said as he appeared behind Kabuto and placed a kunai at his throat, "put the Heaven scroll down and you can walk away."
"Now Sasuke-kun," Kabuto said in a calm tone as he held his hands up, "what makes you think that my team would trust me, the information gatherer, with something as important as the scrolls?"
Sasuke grunted, then removed the blade. "You said you could help us get a scroll..How?"
"Simple, we go to the area near the tower," Kabuto said as he straightened out his glasses.
"Why would we go there and how does that get us a scroll?" Naruko asked.
"Follow me and I'll explain on the way," the grey haired genin said as he and Team 7 went towards the center of the forest. He explained that there were people who gathered spare scrolls, sort of like trophies. They normally waited near the tower and ambushed others to steal their scrolls even if they already have the scrolls they need. All Team 7 needed to do was ambush an ambush.
Sadly, the moment they landed where they were going to plan their next move, ninja literally started coming out of the wood work. They were all Ame-nin.
"Were there this many Ame genin in the exams?" Sakura asked.
Naruko didn't wait for anyone to explain and rushed at one, delivering a wild punch to the ninja. Said ninja sidestepped the blow as his allies threw kunai at her, hitting the off balance kunoichi. She jumped back in time to avoid getting fatally injured, but her left arm was covered in cuts.
"Naruko!" Sakura shouted as she watched blood drip off the girl's scarlet nails.
"Don't do anything rash!" Sasuke commanded, "they are all bunshin!"
Kabuto nodded. "Sasuke-kun is right. The method used by these ninja is to wear down their opponents with hidden strikes that line up with the illusions to deal damage. Once we are worn out. They will come out and finish us off."
Naruko growled angrily. Then started her best to defend herself against real weapons and illusions alike, as did the others. After fifteen minutes, the four Konoha genin were tapped out and ready to fall over. The last of Naruko's shadow clones bursting apart.
"Time to end this," a young man said as he came out of the bushes. He was dressed like the other Ame genin that Sasuke had killed earlier, probably a standard outfit, but this one had pouches on both thighs as well as two on his belt. Two more Ame-nin stepped out, one being tall and thin while the other was short and fat. "Now, die loudly and make sure to keep the scroll clean," gas mask hissed out.
"That was a good plan, Naruko-san," Kabuto said as he stepped out from behind the Ame-nin. Sasuke stepped out as well, barely a mark on him. Sakura came out of the bushes as well. "Thanks for distracting them, Naruko."
"How?" average Ame genin shouted.
The genin next to Naruko were covered in a swirl of smoke, then turned out to be three shadow clones. "During the fight, I switched out the others with henged Kage Bunshin," she growled, "you aren't the only ones who can lay down a quick ambush." She then fell to her knees.
"Naruko, you used up lots of your chakra and you haven't been able to replenish it properly. Take a break while I finish them off," Sasuke pointed out.
Before anyone could react, Naruko rushed forward and punched one of the Ame-nin, knocking him into the others and sending them sliding away a small distance along the slick forest floor. "I'm tired of you hogging the spotlight!" Naruko snapped.
"Dammit!" Tall snapped. He formed a hand seal. "Oboro Bunshin no Jutsu!" he shouted as twenty clones appeared.
Naruko glared at the clones. "Kage Bunshin?"
Kabuto shook his head. "No, just regular bunshin."
"How are we going to beat them all?" Sakura asked.
"Like this!" Naruko yelled as she charged forward and swiped at one, only to fall through. She rebalanced herself, then went through another with a jumping side kick. "Dammit!" she roared as she tried to strike at one's legs. She didn't see the the Ame-nin standing over her with a kunai. Kabuto tackled her out of the way, but took a blow in his leg.
'Damn this bite!' Sasuke thought. Every time he tried to mold too much chakra, the bite throbbed and burned. Sadly, using the Sharingan was past this safe point. 'Just a second,' he thought as he activated his Sharingan and looked at the Ame-nin. All he saw was Naruko, Kabuto and chakra. Sasuke gasped in pain, "Don't waste your time! They are all clones!" He almost fell over from the pain.
Sakura saw those marks spreading from his bite again and realized what was happening. "Sasuke-kun! Stop using the Sharingan!" she cried as she moved to help alleviate his pain as well as stop the mark from spreading.
While Sasuke and Sakura had their own little drama over his bite wound, Naruko felt that strange cool tingling sensation where she had been bitten by that creepy woman. It felt strange, but it didn't hurt. What was even stranger was what had been happening since she had been bitten. Her senses were sharper and her chakra control was improving. There was also something else. That strange heat that she felt back in Wave, that hot chakra. It seemed she could almost feel it again at times.
Kabuto saw a clone move to attack Narko, then saw one of the ninja rise from the ground with a kunai in hand. "Naruko!" he called out, "they are underground! They come up to attack with the clones!" Naruko saw the ninja and jumped out of the way of the kunai, then delivered a sharp kick to his head. The ninja flew out of the ground and slid away, completely knocked out. Another rose up before Kabuto and sliced him across the face. For some odd reason, he stood completely still long enough for Sasuke to knock him out. The third one didn't reappear, seeming to have retreated. Upon searching the two ninja, they found a Heaven scroll as well as an Earth scroll.
"We did it!" Naruko cheered.
"Kabuto-san!"
The genin turned to see Kabuto's teammates walk up. "Guess it is time for me to get going," Kabuto said as he put his glasses back on, "I'll see you at the tower." Kabuto and his team left.
"Let's get to the tower!" Sakura shouted. She was worried about Sasuke and Naruko's bites.
[Day 5, Tower Arena]
Team 7 walked into line to stand before the Hokage, the proctors and the Jōnin sensei of each participating team.
"Congratulations on making it here," the Hokage said, "now I will explain the next part of the exam."
A/N~
Oh! I am going to have sooooo much fun with that shopping trip. (Grins wickedly) Next up is the prelims. I am not going to write about unaltered battles other than the important fights. Also expect a bit of a switch up for the main tournament. Sasugay is going to get screwed and not in the way Hebi-homo wants.
chm01: I HATE that word! This is 'on hold,' not hiatus. Hiatus is when the person stops all together. No activity. DEATH!. On hold is when you halt something due to numerous reasons. Like I said, planning for this fic is spotty and limited. What would you prefer: me working on both fics and it taking forever and a day to do, or me finishing off Part I for the other one and focusing solely on this one so I can write and plan? Fact is, I'm almost done Part I for KTD.
SuperNeos2: I thought so as well.
Anonymous: Most people who knew me from before thought I died when they met me again. That's how little I stand out and how often I make contact with people.
And why do people keep wanting me to go to Hell? The food sucks, service bites and the lines haven't moved since Creation. Anyways, holding a kunai to my throat in Hell would be pointless since Hell is eternal torture. Knowing how things go down there, they would lock you in a soundproof box while I told everyone else in Hell the story.
If you insist on hunting me down, here's a few tips:
My eyes can change color slightly.
I have three hair colors, thought two are barely noticeable.
Despite the above traits, I can easily vanish into a crowd if I will it.
I'm nocturnal.
I have light sensitivity, mostly to sunlight and florescent lights.
I'm Sanguine.
Now don't go lumping me together with those emo fakers you see on TV talk shows. Sleeping in a coffin, dressing in Euro goth and acting like some supernatural monster of the night. Those are nothing more than freaks who want to be even creepier than before. One look at me and you wouldn't know I had a taste for blood. I don't even follow the religion of other sanguine, I just have a sip of blood every once in a while.
ShadowCub: Of course.
Bilingualkyuubi: I'm going to fix the chapter up later to smooth it out a bit. I'll admit that I was dead on my keyboard when I wrote the chapter, so there will be errors in it.
God Emperor of GAR-halla: Trolling? Hmm. Don't spoil it for me, I've barely read anything in Part II. Too focused on writing my fics to the end of part I.
Dinian: I didn't intend to make a twist there. It is a plot device for later, which is the real twist. What you saw last chapter was just me taking hold of the thread. When I twist, I TWIST!
Sky Zephyrus: Berserk Naruko: homicidal check. Sakura and Ino stopping her: check for Sakura. Beating Sasuke to a pulp: no check yet. Beating Team Dosu: sort of check.
The Dark End: Of course. What else could beat a yuri harem other than a larger yuri harem? Maybe I should add Hinata to the mix? The three sexiest girls in Konoha all in one bed with Naruko... (nose explodes in a red geyser. Jiraiya gives thumbs up of approval)
