Chapter Twenty-Four
"Did it work?" Sakura asked as she got up on her feet.
"We'll know in about an hour." Iyoi told her.
"So what do we do until then?" Tsunade asked.
"Well you don't exactly have to stay here for the entire time if you don't want to, but in that case I insist you not go anywhere unsupervised so your changes can be noted safely." The medic advised.
Tsunade shrugged. "If I've got to kill an hour I'm going to get some sake. Anyone want to join?"
Kushina nodded. "Sure, I don't mind." She turned to the medics. "Will alcohol affect the change?"
"I don't know. But if it's like any other medical procedure, I'd advise staying away from it."
Tsunade groaned. "Damn, then is there at least a casino in the area?"
"Oh yes. You can't miss it." Kiha answered.
"Then that's where I'm going. You coming Shizune?"
"Someone has to ensure you don't go broke." The short-haired brunette stated.
"I'll go along still. Someone who knows about succubi needs to be there and these three ladies have other patients too you know." Kushina said.
"What about me?" Sakura asked.
"You can come with us if you want." Tsunade offered.
"Actually here kids can't go into casinos. No ninja privileges in Alfheim." Kushina pointed out.
"I'm fine staying here." Sakura stated. "I just wondered who would help me if something comes up."
"We'll still be in the area." Meo told her. "Have one of your friends come find us in the hospital if something seems unusual. Just remember the normal progress for succubi development."
"And if I get a Frenzy?" Sakura asked.
"Find yourself a boy or some privacy." Meo answered. "But I wouldn't worry about that if I were you. It's not impossible, but you don't get a true Frenzy until you've completed puberty. So you might get everything except a Frenzy which could come much later. It's unlikely you'd experience a Frenzy today unless you were ovulating now or about to, then it would hit you."
"In either case it would help to get some birth control." Kiha added.
"I'll keep that in mind." Sakura responded, too embarrassed by the advice to say anything else.
Sensing her friend's discomfort Ino decided to brighten the mood. "C'mon Forehead, let's go somewhere and relax for a bit. You look like you sure could use it."
Sakura slowly nodded. "Yeah. Thanks Ino. Got any ideas how?"
"Two words, room service."
Kushina lightly frowned. "I'll allow it but please go easy. And maybe you should use a separate room so you don't bother my son and his girlfriend." The group only had one room so far, so getting a second sounded easier than telling Naruto and Hinata to have their time somewhere else or telling Sakura to handle her new experience out in the open.
The girls nodded and Kushina gave them the money to get a second room and order some room service. Fortunately she was quite wealthy in this world and could spare it.
"I'm so looking forward to when I can join in on this." Tayuya claimed. "Once I can walk again Kushina you are showing me what women do for fucking fun around here."
"Absolutely Tayuya-chan." Kushina told her sister.
Ten minutes later Sakura, Ino, and Isaribi were in their own hotel room. They had ordered lunch and for just this once Sakura and Ino decided to pretend they weren't on a diet and went all out. While they ate they turned on the tv to see what people watched in Alfheim.
"Wow, I'm feeling really hungry right now." Sakura said as she scarfed down a cheeseburger.
"That might be a side effect of your body turning into something else. The extra calories should help you grow the new body parts and everything." Isaribi theorized, eating a cheeseburger of her own.
"Speaking of which, feel any different?" Ino asked, feasting on a simple hamburger since she didn't care much for cheese.
"No, but I do feel something strange by my butt. Maybe that's my tail growing in?" Sakura replied, turning around as if to see such a thing. Ino and Isaribi couldn't help but do the same.
"Is it the tail that comes in first?" Isaribi asked.
Sakura nodded. "I doublechecked with Kushina-sama. The chain of events goes tail, wings, breasts and hips, then a Gift then Frenzy. At my age I should get at least as far as a Gift if not Frenzy."
"How would you recognize this Gift thing?" Ino asked.
Sakura shrugged, wiping her mouth before moving onto a strawberry milkshake. "No idea. Maybe it will be obvious like some kekkei genkai or not. There's no telling what it will be."
"Bet it won't be as cool as Kushina-sama's ability to create chains." Ino claimed semi-teasingly.
"Maybe it will be cooler. Like being able to take over your mind for once Ino-pig." Sakura teased right back.
"Oh no, no way you're getting my abilities. I mean, how would you like it if I made a move on Naruto before you could?" The platinum blonde challenged.
"Are you interested in making a move on him?" Sakura curiously asked.
Ino blanched, realizing what her words could be interpreted to mean. "What? No, I'm not. I wouldn't think of it."
"Actually, you already did if you brought it up." Isaribi pointed out.
Ino blushed. "It meant nothing, just a reference. He's not even my type."
"Then why the blush?" Isaribi asked.
"Cute and kind and loyal to a fault isn't your type?" Sakura asked at the same time.
Ino frowned, irritated. "Look, let's drop the subject. Naruto's a nice guy, but right now I'd rather not think about him like that. I'm more concerned about going back home. Besides, Hinata already has to share him with one former-fangirl, I doubt she'd appreciate a second one getting added into the mix."
Sakura finished off her milkshake before she responded. "You think Hinata is already sharing him with me?"
"Isn't he?" Ino asked.
Sakura looked a little sad. "All she said was she was willing to, but Naruto himself hasn't said anything. I haven't even talked to him on the subject, and until we do, I'm just a friend, not a lover."
"But you want to be his lover don't you?" Isaribi asked. Sakura just nodded, munching on some thick-cut fries now.
"Wow, Sasuke really hurt you for you to switch to Naruto like this." Ino commented, but froze when she saw Sakura hurt expression, one that held a good mixture of pain and anger.
"You really think this has anything to do with that ungrateful emo? He had his chance to have my heart and he blew it. Naruto on the other hand never stopped caring about me even after I hurt him, and even with Hinata holding his heart he had enough to spare for me. If anything I'm glad Sasuke did what he did because he opened my eyes before it was too late for me to do anything about it."
Ino was silent in response, not sure what to say to her friend. Fortunately she got a distraction. "Sakura, I think your tail is growing."
Her bad mood evaporated instantly and Sakura stood up swiftly, putting her hands on her butt. Right away she could feel something new there and growing. Adjusting her shorts and dress she tried to give her new appendage room to grow. In no time she had a tail the length of her arm that ended with a heart shape.
"Wow! It really worked." Sakura said, pleased. Right away she tested its mobility, seeing how it moved. It moved as easily as her tongue could, though at first it did so too fast and jerky until she worked at controlling it better.
"Try to pick up something with it like Naruto can." Isaribi suggested, remembering the time they saw Naruto test his tail and wings. He was able to use his tail like a third arm, fly once he got the hang of it, and after one painful experience knew how to avoid sitting on his tail.
Sakura nodded and with careful tail-eye coordination had her heart-shape end wrap around a fry and bring it to her mouth so she could eat it. "This could really come in handy." She said happily.
"Be glad there's no hair on that. Can you imagine having to shave it like your legs?" Ino asked, that on her mind because she had to shave her own legs this morning for the first time since she left Konoha.
Sakura got an idea and sat down by Ino, avoiding her tail, and had her back turned to the blonde. "Before my wings grow in, can you cut some holes for them in my clothes?"
"Good idea, can't have you go around topless here." Ino said before getting one of her kunai. "Hmm... I think they might come in here." She said as she estimated the best places on Sakura's dress to make the cuts.
"Wouldn't it be easier to go buy a new shirt at the gift shop?" Isaribi suggested. "I'm sure they already have shirts made to accommodate wings so the tears won't spread until the entire top unravels."
"Good idea too. Let's do that." Ino said, feeling a small sense of excitement from this mini-shopping experience.
"Do we have enough money left for it?" Sakura asked.
Isaribi held up their remaining cash. "We'll find out when we get there."
Five minutes later the three girls were checking out the limited shirt selection at the hotel gift shop. Some were obvious vacation souvenirs with slogans and pictures that made Sakura disinterested in getting on.
"Here's one." Ino offered, holding up a normal dark red one with wing slits in the back. "I think it's your size."
She handed it to Sakura who examined it. "Yeah it's my size. Too bad there aren't any changing rooms here."
"Then let's go to one of the real stores." Ino proclaimed.
Sakura shook her head. "We don't know this town at all. We could easily get lost. Besides, if something were to go wrong the doctors know to come here, not somewhere else." She faced a mirror and held up the shirt in front of her to see how it looked on her.
"Hi girls, what are you doing?" Ayame asked as she and Moegi came up to the young teens.
"Ayame? I thought you were with Naruto." Sakura replied, surprised to see the ramen chef here.
"We were, but he and Hinata... clearly needed some alone time."
They all got the message right away. "Again? After only a few hours?" Sakura asked.
"Wow, who would have thought Hinata had it in her to be so frisky." Ino thought out loud.
"I don't think it's all Hinata right now. Naruto looked like he needed it too." Ayame informed.
"Wait, you don't think he's experiencing a Frenzy do you?" Sakura asked.
"I don't think so. He didn't look pushy or irritable or anything like that. My guess is like with ramen he just wanted a second helping." Ayame said. "Though I did consider that and made sure Hinata used the birth control jutsu."
"What's that?" Moegi said, noticing Sakura's new feature.
"Ah, you decided to join Tsunade-sama didn't you?" Ayame asked before Sakura could answer.
Sakura handed the shirt she was holding to Ino. "Take this, I'm going back to the room. My back feels weird." Without waiting for a response she darted away.
By the time she was back in the room and closed the door she could already feel her wings growing in. She quickly unzipped her dress and took it off so a set of bat-like wings could sprout off her back and spread comfortably.
"Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked, surprising Sakura who turned to see Naruto and Hinata on a bed naked and sweaty and connected at the hip.
"Whoops, sorry, wrong room." The pinkette said, covering her bra-clad chest since she was topless. 'Damn, I walked in on them twice in one day?'
"Wait, Sakura-chan, why do you have wings?" Naruto asked, not expecting that for her.
Sakura was about to answer, but she was suddenly overcome with lust. Seeing Naruto again and being this close to his incubus aura was getting her really aroused, and her growing succubus side was more vulnerable to it than her human side had been. Right then she was strongly tempted to take the rest of her clothes off and turn this into a threesome. Her hands were already reaching for her shorts when she regained her senses. Ashamed of herself, she grabbed her dress and fled the room, heading for the right one this time.
"That was weird." Naruto commented.
Hinata nodded. "Yeah. I hope she doesn't show up every time we make love. Otherwise we'll eventually have to ask her to join."
Naruto smiled. "My, is my shy little Hinata-chan actually suggesting a three-way?"
"Would you rather we stop having sex until she's not around instead?" She replied.
"Are you kidding? You're better than ramen and you know how hard it is to get me to stop having that." He replied.
Hinata smiled. "Coming from you Naruto-kun that's a great compliment." She kissed him and he forgot all about Sakura's interruption as he went back to pleasing his mate.
"Sakura?" Ino asked as she knocked on the door. It was locked so after a moment of silence she used the room key to open it. She walked in along with the others, and they saw Sakura huddled on one of the beds in the room, dress still off since her wings were in the way. She looked afraid for some reason.
"Is something wrong?" Ayame asked, coming close to the girl then sitting beside her.
"I... might have made a fool of myself. I accidentally walked in on Naruto and Hinata." Sakura confessed.
"That would be awkward." Isaribi noted.
Ino felt there was more to this. "So why do you look like a beaten puppy?"
"I'm trying to restrain myself. Something about Naruto right now is so... intoxicating to me. I was this close to jumping him and... well I shouldn't say it with Moegi here."
"And?" Ino asked.
"I'm just surprised is all. If those girls we saw at the pool felt this way no wonder they wanted him. But if I end up like that, what would make me any different than them?"
"Trust me, you're different." Ino told her friend. "Those girls don't even want to try to be friends with Naruto, they just want him to give them something then go away. They're like gold-diggers for sperm or something. Naruto is no different than any other male to them, except that he fits a specific fetish of theirs. Even at your worst, you never saw Naruto as no different then anyone else."
Sakura weakly smiled. 'True, even when I disliked him he stood out from the other boys in my mind. Not always for the best, but enough that he made a specific impression on me. Shikamaru, Chouji, Kiba, Shino, they were all alike as far as I was concerned, but Naruto was always special in his own way.'
"Thanks Ino, that makes me feel better." Sakura said, then dropped her smile. "But now I'm feeling something else."
"Another body part growing in?" Isaribi asked.
Ino shook her head. "No, she already has the wings and tail. So what's next?"
The answer came when Sakura's chest started to slowly balloon out, making everyone look at her bosom with surprise and interest. Not perverted interest, but normal curiosity some women get when noting breast sizes. The focus on there was strong enough that no one noticed Sakura's hips were slowly widening at the same time.
Her bra got really tight quickly so Sakura took it off. By then her breasts were easily twice their original size and still swelling. Sakura's shorts and panties were getting tight too but not uncomfortably so she ignored that. When her breasts stop growing they were easily one cup size bigger than Hinata's currently were, roughly the size of ripe oranges.
"Holy crap!" Ino said in awe with a hint of jealousy in her eyes.
Sakura quickly stood in front of a mirror, looking at her breasts from the front then from the side. "Wow, I just went from an A-cup to a D-cup. At least, I think this is D-cup size for my age." She touched her breasts and lightly squeezed them, finding them a bit softer than they had been originally. 'Probably because now there's more fat in them.'
"Please tell me there's a way to get those without the other features." Ino asked.
"If there isn't it wouldn't be too bad would it?" Isaribi asked, also a little envious of the pinkette right now. One of the reasons she never swam in a swimsuit, aside from it looking weird with the bandages she still wore, was that it clearly revealed how underdeveloped she was. Isaribi was always jealous of how sexy the girls in bikinis and even one-pieces were on the beaches and felt so plain by comparison. As a result she resorted to simply keeping her clothes on at the beach or in the water, to hide her lack of curves.
Ayame noticed what the others hadn't. "Hey, your hips are different too." Now everyone, including Sakura, checked her waist. They were a bit wider, more mature-looking if you will, and by default her butt was a little plumper but well rounded. Her legs seemed maybe a tiny bit longer, and because her shorts were tight now there was a clearly visible pantie line on her from both sides.
"Wow, if it weren't for your height, you'd look like a fully developed woman right now." Ayame told the younger girl.
"I wonder if the shirt even fits anymore." Isaribi said, referencing the shirt they got at the store.
"She might need some new pants too. Those look uncomfortable." Moegi added.
Ayame nodded. "Right. My gut tells me she needs more clothes, and this time it would be better to go to a real store. Let's go find a store."
"Now it's okay?" Ino asked.
"I don't think we have much of a choice now. We'll just have to remember our way back here."
"What about Naruto and Hinata?" Sakura asked.
"If we're lucky they'll never know we left."
At another part of town Tsunade was looking over the results of her transformation spell in an alley away from prying eyes. Kushina and Shizune were the only eyes around. Katsuyu had to leave since the casino didn't want her in the casino and wished her summoner luck.
"Wings, check. Tail, check. So far it's going exactly as planned." Tsunade stated, looking herself over. At the moment her gambler jacket was off and some cuts had been made in her clothes to let her new features out. "Now there are two things to test. First, the easy one."
Tsunade put her hands together in the tiger sign and tried to flare her chakra. "Release."
Nothing happened.
"Umm... Tsunade-sama?" Kushina asked. "You do remember that as a succubus you should no longer have chakra right?"
"I thought I'd have some left before the transformation finished." The slug sannin stated.
Kushina shrugged. "Maybe. I sort of assumed your chakra would convert to mana first to help make the rest of the change possible. I know I lost all of Kyuubi's chakra before I grew my wings and tail."
"Hmm..." Tsunade thought before she tried channeling her chakra like she was ready to shatter the ground with her fists. She had enough experience with it that usually she barely felt it anymore, so this time she had to make a conscious effort to feel for it. To her surprise, she felt nothing. "Maybe my chakra is gone now."
"Wait, then why is your age-concealing genjutsu still up?" Shizune asked.
Surprised, Tsunade looked at her hands, now noticing they weren't wrinkled or old-looking. Feeling her face, she found the same results. 'Without chakra I shouldn't be able to support my disguise anymore. By all accounts, right now I should look my real age. Older in fact thanks to the Creation Rebirth jutsu. But instead I still look young.'
"Don't you remember what I said about succubi aging?" Kushina asked. "Old age for us doesn't start until after 113. Tsunade-sama might be old by human standards, but a succubus her age would look like a human in her late twenties, mid-thirties at the oldest."
At that moment Tsunade suddenly remembered why she accepted the change in the first place, to have a body fit enough to give birth again. "I must have gotten carried away in the casino. I can't believe that detail skipped my mind."
"I'm just glad you weren't losing all your money." Shizune mentioned.
Tsunade nodded. "Yep, guess Kushina's got the same devil's luck Naruto does when in comes to chance. Now I know where he gets it from."
Footsteps alerted the three women to someone approaching and all got defensive, but calmed when they saw it was only Ayame. "Hi Ayame-san, what brings you here?" Kushina greeted.
"Well we needed to see you and this was the only casino we could find. And since we can't go in I thought about sneaking in around back and to my surprise you're here. Anyway, Sakura's clothes don't exactly fit her anymore so we need to go buy her some new clothes."
"Oh, of course." Kushina said before digging into one of her hidden pockets and pulling out some of the currency used in this world that they had won at the casino. "This should be enough. I'm sure you can find a store somewhere. How is she by the way?"
"She's looking a lot like Tsunade-sama right now, but a little uncomfortable given she's practically wearing spandex now." The ramen chef answered.
"Go help her." Kushina said. Ayame nodded then left.
Luckily the girls had found a clothing store, thanks to Ino. It was almost like the Yamanaka heiress had a sixth sense for this sort of thing. Sakura had to put on the shirt they got for her at the hotel gift store, but it was as tight as her shorts were so it was a bit uncomfortable. And since she wasn't wearing a bra she was a little self-conscious about her new bosom bouncing around.
But with everyone's help, she managed to assemble a rather likable outfit. A dark red sleeveless blouse with a zipper down the front and wing slits in the back, more relaxed black shorts designed to accommodate her tail, and two pink sets of bras and panties that fit her new frame. For a little touch of flair she decided to get a short pink apron shirt to go around her waist, some pink elbow bands, and some black gloves that looked nice and durable to her.
"Looking good Sakura. Before we leave I should get a new outfit myself." Ino said, looking back towards a purple ensemble she had liked.
"Maybe, but we can only afford this right now." Sakura said, looking herself over in the mirror. "Think I can wear this out instead of taking it off to pay for it?"
"Let me go get a cashier and find out." Ayame offered then went to find an employee.
"I bet Boss will like that outfit on you." Moegi told the pinkette.
Sakura lightly smiled. "Yeah, I bet he will." The way she said it sounded like she had only been half-listening.
"Something on your mind?" Isaribi asked, catching the distracted tone.
Before Sakura could answer Ayame returned with an employee, one that looked like a normal human woman. "I understand you want to wear this out?" Sakura nodded and the employee pulled out a price check scanner. "Just show me the tags and you can." All the tags were scanned, including the ones on the underwear Sakura was wearing, and the spare set was put in a bag. "Alright, I'll ring this up at the register and you're good to go." Ayame followed her back to cover the bill.
"So what's on your mind?" Isaribi repeated.
"Not much, I just... can't really get that memory of Naruto and Hinata out of my mind." Sakura confessed.
"Was his body good?" Ino teased.
"What do you mean good?" Moegi asked.
"You'll understand when you're older." The platinum blonde told the younger girl.
Ayame came back with the receipt. "Good news, we've got plenty of cash to spare. So I guess we can afford a little more shopping now."
Ino perked up. "Great! This one little number has my name all over it." She then darted off.
"Hey, I'm not letting you use the whole budget!" Isaribi claimed before hoping to find something she could use before Ino spent all the remaining cash.
"I could use something new while I'm here." Ayame told herself before checking around, followed by Moegi.
Seeing everyone look around the store, Sakura couldn't help but look outside. 'I'm done here, so maybe I should...' Grabbing her bag, she did something she knew she was probably going to get trouble for. She left the store unannounced.
Naruto was out of bed and washing his face, trying to get the sweat out of his eyes. 'Wow, four times in one day? Guess I'm more of a pervert than I wanted to believe. Then again so is Hinata-chan, she didn't want to stop at all.' He turned around and saw his lover sleeping comfortably and soundly on the bed, looking worn up but pleased to be that way.
'Strange thing is, I still feel ready for more, but I know she's had enough. I don't want to push her any further, but damn I'm still horny. I know Okaa-san said this was normal, but it's inconvenient sometimes.' He added.
There was a knock at his door. "Who could that be? I really hope it's not one of those girls hoping I'll sleep with them." He complained. He put on his pants then opened the door a little so see who was there. "Hello?"
"Hi Naruto. Can I talk to you for a bit?"
"What's wrong Sakura-chan?" He asked, seeing his teammate. "Are those wings?"
"I really need to talk to you alone Naruto. Can I come in?" Sakura repeated.
