In the land of the toads, on Mount Myōboku Hinata was surrounded by a gaggle of toads, all of them staring at her in fascination. It was understandable. Most of their encounters with humans had been through their summoners, who were often male. It was very rare that they got to meet a human female.
Especially, one in their minds, who was as beautiful as this one. Many of them seemed eager to try and make the girl as comfortable as possible, fetching her bowls of water, sake, and some kind of tea made from the various algae's that grew in their waters. Others brought her plates of grubs and other insects. All of these the human girl politely declined, but her voice was so sweet that the toads only rushed off to fetch more.
"So why are you wearing Naruto's clothes again?" Gamatatsu asked while looking at the human girl who was sitting on a log that had been covered with fabrics to make it more comfortable. The girl did not answer right away, she kept looking like she was waiting for something, or rather someone.
"It's a very long story." Hinata finally answered, giving the toad her full attention.
"So where is he?" Gamakichi asked looking around, hoping Naruto would appear with a bag of chips to share.
"Fighting off a very bad man who wants to do very bad things to me."
"Well you're safe here." The orange toad told her. "No one can get here except one who knows the secret route between the realms or if they are reversed summoned by one of us."
"Speaking of which..." An old toad in a cloak said while coming up to her, and despite the fact he was an amphibian he somehow had hair. "You are not an official toad summoner, are you miss?"
Hinata shook her head. "No, I'm not. But Naruto-kun is and he brought me here to keep me safe for a bit."
"Well, as bad as this is to hear, we cannot have you be here. We can escort you home, but you can't be here."
"Aw come on Fukasaku, it's not like she'd be here for long." Gamakichi defended.
Fukasaku kept a firm expression. "It's not that. There are rules about this and we cannot bend them. Not even for the blonde-haired baka. If we do then where will we stop?"
Hinata withheld a sigh. "I understand. But please don't take me back where I was last. A demon named Aru is trying to-"
"Wait, did you say Aru?" Fukasaku asked before letting loose a set of troubled croaks.
Hinata nodded her head slowly.
"As in the Incubus King Aru, one of the 9 demon lords of Hell?"
"How do you know him?" Hinata asked.
"We have tangled with that entity a few times in the past when a toad summoner and him got into scuffles. If he's pursuing you, that would explain why you're here."
"So I can stay?" Hinata asked, a little hopeful again.
"No, if Aru seeks you then he might come here, and bring his demons with him. Despite his arrogance he is not foolish enough to attack the toad realm alone. But such an attack would end up putting the lives of many toads in jeopardy. And that is something I will not allow."
Hinata's hopes fell, but only briefly. Because the cloaked toad then added..
"But we can get you somewhere safe. Finding a place he cannot go is difficult, and likely just delaying the inevitable. Despite his low pecking order amongst the other demon lords he is powerful and dangerous and has his position for a reason. And if he's kept from you that will only make him want you more than simply stop trying."
"If I could just get his mate out of me that might solve the problem." Hinata commented.
Fukasaku blinked. "You have his mate inside you?" Hinata nodded again and gave a brief explanation of what happened, though leaving out some of the more intimate details.
The elderly toad rubbed his webbed hand against his pulsating throat for a moment. "Well why didn't you say so? That's something we can do something about easily."
"Really?" Hinata asked, surprised. "You can get Lilith out of me?"
"Yes, if she is in chakra form then she is nothing but pure energy, which we are capable of drawing out. Though we will need to set up some preparations first to make it work."
Aru had been caught off guard by the suddenness of Naruto's attack, he barely had enough time to raise up his arm in defense against the powerful dropkick Naruto would have otherwise landed on him.
"You are strong, for a child."
"You haven't seen nothing yet!" Naruto said as he placed his fingers together. "Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!" He shouted as he leapt back and away from Aru
Hundreds of Naruto's appeared, surrounding the Incubus king in a semi-circle, all drawing out kunais and cracking their knuckles.
Aru looked around at all of the clones, his eyes narrowed behind his dark shades as he shrugged off his suit jacket. "Oh this is going to be interesting." He held his jacket in one hand.
There was dead silence in the air for a moment and then Aru tossed his jacket to the ground. Right on cue the mass of Naruto's surged forward, all of them yelling and trying to get ahead of each other to get first crack at the demon lord.
Aru simply stood there as the shadow clones fell upon him, dog piling with one Naruto on top of another trying to keep Aru down, while the real Naruto stood back and watched. For a moment it seemed like the fight was over, but despite the comments of his thickheadedness Naruto knew that it could not be this easy.
Suddenly, in between the gaps of shifting Naruto's a deep purple colored light glowed brightly for a second then vanished. There was a faint rumble and finally an explosion of energy that tossed all of the shadow clones every which way into the air, all of them shouting in pain as they each vanished in a puff of smoke.
And standing there in the exact spot, having seemingly not moved an inch was Aru, his gaze directed straight at the original Naruto.
"So you say you make impossible things happen do you boy?" Aru asked, his breathing slightly heavy from expending a bit of his energy into that small chakra explosion he triggered to free him of the mass of shadow clones.
Naruto simply shrugged. "That's what I've been told."
Aru smirked slightly and put his hand on his sunglasses. "Well, let's put that to the test" He said before removing them, exposing his glowing slit eyes, which had turned from a golden yellow to a blood red.
Naruto looked at the demon's feet to avoid his gaze. "Nice try, but I know better than that. My girlfriend has a doujutsu too."
"But can you fight someone you can't look at?" Aru asked, coming at the teen and throwing a punch aimed at his solar plexis. He didn't stop there, he added more punches swiftly to the boy's frontside, bombarding him with a flurry of fists.
Naruto had been able to dodge the first couple, but could not dodge them all. He took many of the punches. But to Aru's surprise the boy did not go down, in fact he was forced to stop when Naruto managed to grab both of his wrists and yank him forward, intentionally smashing their heads together.
'Damn, can't believe I'm saying this, but thank you Sakura for hitting me so much.' The whiskered blonde thought to himself, experiencing only a mild throb that was going to fade away soon.
Aru fumbled and dropped to one knee, hand rubbing his scalp. His eyes were clenched shut, yet he grinned. "I'll give you that one boy, I sure as hell didn't see that one coming."
"You haven't seen nothing yet." Naruto stated, coming up and throwing a punch at the demon's jaw. Aru swerved so it missed and he retaliated with an uppercut. Naruto stumbled a tiny bit, and Aru kicked his lower leg to force the whiskered blonde to kneel. Taking the opportunity, Aru got behind Naruto and put him in a headlock.
"I am growing tired of this game Human. Now tell me, where is Lilith?"
Naruto smirked despite the pain. "Wouldn't you like to know." Balling his fist, he swung it in an attempt to punch the sex demon in his dick. He missed, but the impact was close enough to make Aru let him go, so Naruto ducked, pivoted, and jumped away in that order to regain some distance.
"You can't win boy. Sooner or later you're going to have to look into my eyes. Then you cannot possibly win." Aru threatened aloud while mentally thinking how lucky he had been that the hit had missed his precious jewels.
"Hinata-chan told me all about Lilith's eyes alright. She didn't want me thinking that she was using them on me." Naruto commented, throwing some kunai.
Aru blocked with his wings, which didn't even get a scratch from the knives. "Well that was nice of her." Aru said with a smile then with a growl he bent down and rammed his hands into the earth, grunting as he drew a large chunk of the ground, with bits of dirt and rocks falling out, he hefted it over his head and hurled it at Naruto who dodged it quickly.
"However, my eyes are much different than Lilith's. I don't play on your hormones and libido boy, I target another part of your psyche." Aru said as he dusted off his hands.
'Is it just me, or do a lot of people tend to brag about themselves when they're fighting?' Naruto thought, creating some more shadow clones. 'It's almost like they're saying 'I'm so confident you can't beat me I'm not afraid to tell you what I can do to you'.'
Aru simply shook his head. "These guys again? You are running out of tricks boy."
The clones swarmed Aru, trying to pummel him to a pulp. The real one stayed back with another clone, prepping a rasengan.
The clones didn't have to beat him, and Naruto had realized that even if they did have to, they couldn't. So for now they only had to keep him occupied. But, unlike their maker, none of the clones were bothering to shield their eyes, and Aru was able to look right into the eyes of many of them.
Aru, rather then expending more of his energy with another chakra explosion, decided to do things the old fashion way and fought hand to hand against the clones. He managed to kill some of the clones, and oddly enough once this started the rate of clone dispersal only got quicker.
'What's going on? It's like my clones aren't fighting as hard as they usually do.' The real Naruto thought, getting memories from the clones in bulk like usual and thus too much to notice any pattern immediately. But there was an underlying feeling accompanying the memories. A feeling of ineptitude, of self doubt, and lack of confidence.
Ignoring that, Naruto got his chakra orb ready and charged forward along with the clone, this tactic helpful in preventing the enemy from knowing right away which Naruto to defend against. More of the clones fighting Aru died off, the Incubus King, held up his hand, which turned black and scaly and jagged claws grew from his once well manicured nails. In an instant he had gone from punching to slicing them into smoke.
This however gave Naruto an opening and he went right in, slamming the rasengan into Aru's chest. The Demon lord's eyes widened and he let loose a single snarl before he received the full force of the rasangan's attack.
There was a loud 'BOOM' and the impact sent Aru back with a powerful force into the woods crashing into several trees which in turn collapsed on him.
"Ha! And you thought I'd be no challenge!" Naruto boasted "That's a new page for my ninja handbook, how to take down arrogant youkai."
Just then, all the broken trees were forced away like something had exploded under then, and Aru emerged soaring into the air before hovering in place. He had some blood covering the right side of his face and torso, and his shirt was reduced to little more than sleeves, but other than that he barely looked hurt at all.
But he did look mad.
"I am done playing games with you, boy."
"So what are you going to do?" Hinata asked when Fukasaku led her to a place filled with giant praying toad statues. From their mouths sprouted sacred oil which flowed down into a basin.
"If I am correct, Lilith is not contained in you by a seal is she?" The old amphibian asked.
"No, it was more like a symbiotic relationship deal than a sealing." Hinata answered.
"Ha, you should have known better, never make a deal with a demon. They are a crafty bunch and all of their promises are poisoned. There are always hidden prices to pay for what they offer."
"Yeah, I am starting to realize that." Hinata said with a sigh.
"However, this means there is nothing there to actively prevent Lilith from leaving you. Your case is similar to a Yamanaka jutsu except you're still allowed to be the dominant mind."
Hinata nodded her head "Yes, I have been able to maintain control. She's only ever had control over my body when I have allowed it."
"I suspected as much. Then, like with a Yamanaka jutsu, a stronger force of will can push the secondary spirit out. But, with Lilith, it's going to take more than mere willpower to do so. But I know a method that should work here."
"What is it?"
"First my dear, you'll need to sit down and get comfy. Then when you're ready, I'm going to have to hit you in the head with my staff." He said as he gave his heavy wooden stick a few test swings.
Hinata's eyes widened. "What?"
"Rest assured there is a reason for this. Though in the case of that perverted Jiraiya, I just liked to see him whine about the lumps I gave him." He finished off with a sneaky laugh.
Hinata was beginning to see why Naruto did not stick around very long after he dropped her off here.
"Anyway, this place we're in right now is often used to train toad summoners like Jiraiya and when he's ready that Naruto boy too, in the art of senjutsu. In order to learn senjutsu, one must first be able to feel and absorb natural chakra into themselves and keep it even compared to their own physical and spiritual energies. But it doesn't always work out and many who fail turn to stone in the process."
Feeling unnerved, the white-eyed girl glanced over the many statues in the area.
"Your unspoken question is correct, these are not mere statues but the remains of those who tried to learn senjutsu and absorbed too much natural chakra." Fukasaku continued.
The idea of a Naruto statue came to her mind. 'I'm not sure if I want Naruto-kun to try this.'
"Now don't go getting scared or nothing, there is a way to save them before it becomes too late." The old amphibian assured. "These were just the times we couldn't save them. When it looks like a trainee is on the verge of petrifying, I hit them with my staff. The wood it's made from helps to eject the natural chakra from them and return them to normal."
Hinata blinked, realizing what he was trying to explain to her. "You mean that staff might have the same effect on Lilith?"
"I cannot promise it, but I do not see any reason why it would not work. If this does fail, then the best we can do is try an extraction and new containment seal for her. Though that will be the more painful and lengthy of the two, not to mention the riskier."
"Then let's give this way a try. But where with Lilith go once she's out? And how do we prevent her from getting back into me?" Hinata said.
"I'm not quite sure where she'll go, either somewhere to get herself safe and stable while she lacks a body, or worst case scenario inside another woman she's already made a deal with. As for preventing her return, if she only got into you via voluntary consent I'm sure the lack of it now will prevent her from returning to your body. But again, I cannot promise it."
The white-eyed girl sighed. "Even so, this is still my best chance to get rid of her without complying with her demands that I let her mate have my body. So go ahead sir, I'm ready."
She removed the sapphire shards on her meant to reinforce her control over Lilith, placed them on the ground, then closed her eyes and awaited his part.
'I kinda feel bad for doing this to her, but like with taking off a bandage it's best to get it over with.' Fukasaku thought, jumping and hitting the Hyuuga heiress in the head.
For a moment Hinata did not know what to expect, she thought she would simply experience a sharp pain to the head. But she was wrong about that it was much much worse.
It was like her entire body was being split apart. She felt as if she was on fire one moment, like her very blood was boiling as sweat began to perspire on her skin. But that quickly vanished and it then felt as if she had just been dropped in a freezing cold river with every ounce of warmth being drain from her body.
Then came the… well she did not know how to accurately describe what came next. It was almost just like she said earlier, ripping off a band-aid. But this band-aid felt as if had been wrapped around her entire body and that by removing it, it was like removing her skin, tissue, her very soul itself was slowly being ripped off.
Fuakasku watched, he could see dark purple chakra slowly flowing from Hinata's pores seeping out of her slowly but surely. But that was not the only thing, he could see Hinata herself physically changing. Her plump luscious lips slowly loosing their fullness and the dark coloring that made it appear that she was constantly wearing lipstick. Her breasts were seemed to be shrinking as well, as if one was releasing air from an over inflated balloon, they went from a possible E down to a normal D. The same process was happening to her backside as well.
The more of the purple energy that exited Hinata, the more she reverted back to her normal form. Finally, Hinata could sense there was only a small amount of Lilith left in her, so she gathered up all of her strength and inner power and cried "GET OUT OF ME!" as she mentally pushed the last of Lilith's essence out of her.
Suddenly the mass of purple chakra ceased to seep out of Hinata, instead in simply floated there like a cloud.
Hinata sat there for a moment, panting heavily, feeling utterly drained and light.
"Are you alright child?" The elder toad asked.
Before Hinata answered, she patted herself down. Touching her face, her hair, her ears, her breasts, her legs, hips, everywhere.
"I'm… I'm myself again?" She said, knowing she should have felt sad about losing the goddess style body that she had been granted from hosting Lilith. But in truth, she felt happy to be back to her normal figure, her true self again, not some pimped up trophy to be goggled out by everyone who looked at her.
There was only one man in the world she wanted to look at her, and she was happy with that.
She then turned to Fuakasku and nodded with a small smile "Yes, I am fine."
Fuakasku croaked happily. "Good, then all that is left is to deal with-"
Before he could finish though, both of them felt a surge of energy. They turned their heads and looked at the the cloud of lilth's purple chakra. It was pulsating violently as light green chakra was being absorbed into it.
"Impossible! It's… absorbing the Nature Chakra around it, like a sponge!"
The more nature chakra the cloud absorbed the bigger it got, and the bigger it got the more it started to take shape. At first it appeared to be nothing more then an amorphous blob, but soon it started to take on a more humanoid shape, that was growing more defined and detailed. At first it looked like a human woman, then it large batlike wings exploded from its back as did a tail, the hands grew long claw like nails as well.
Fuakasku and Hinata could only watch as suddenly the Nature Chakra vanished and the glowing humanoid of purple chakra remained there for a moment. Then there was a flash of bright light, so bright that both the toad and the Hyuuga princess were forced to cover their eyes.
When the light faded they uncovered their eyes and were greeted by a sight that neither of them were prepared for.
Standing there, as naked as a newborn with her tail snaking back and forth as if it had a mind of its own was Lilth, her old body returned.
Her perfect lips were twisted into a smirk and there was a sharp gleam in her eyes, and when she spoke it was as smooth as silk and cold as ice. "Hello Hinata, miss me?"
