===Jan 3, 1:40 PM, Mitarashi Estate===
"Oh come on Aunt Kumo, that's no fair!" Kitara and Kitina said in unison, both now wrapped in vines and lifted 1' off the ground.
Smiling, Kumo walked over to the twins, her 4 year old nieces, both currently in full human form. For the most part they were twins, both had spiky purple hair, both wore the same outfits of black shinobi sandals, black pants, and long-sleeved purple shirts with 1 minor difference, the older Kitara's left arm was bare, while Kitina's right arm was bare. The real difference though was their eyes, Kitara's were blue like Naruto's, Kitina's were purple like her mother Anko. "I'm not being fair to you? So how is two on one fair to Shiyou-chan?" Kumo asked.
"She's a year older than us!" They said together.
"Oh is that all, well why didn't you just say you wanted a team spar, I can solve that easy." Kumo said with a very Anko-like sadistic smile.
A moment later a Kitsune appeared.
"Shiyou-chan, here's your partner for the team spar against your sisters." Kumo said.
Kitara and Kitina paled in fear at who was standing there.
"I get to spar against you two huh... this is gonna be fun." She said and cracked her neck.
"But that's Futeki-san, she's mom's Kitsune Guardian... she'll kill us!" Kitara said.
"Don't be stupid, I won't kill you... beat you, bloody you, knock you out, yes... but I won't kill you." Futeki said casually, interlaced her fingers and cracked them Maestro style.
Shiyou stood there, calm as always, a 6 year old version of her mother Kurenai. "I do hate wasting chakra, so I'll let you fight them Futeki-san, I'll stand out of the way. Besides, I don't have a Kitsune form or a special twins jutsu like them."
"Hey! We weren't gonna use that Shiyou-chan, mom would ground us for a month if we did." Kitara said, then looked at her twin sister. "We're sorry okay Shiyou-chan, we didn't do it on purpose... we're twins, we can't help it sometimes. Come on, you forgive us?".
"They sounded sincere to me, what do you say Shiyou-chan?" Kumo said.
"Sorry Futeki-san, let 'em go Aunt Kumo. You're both annoying, but you're also my little sisters so I'll forgive you, if you buy me ice cream next time we go to Kinomi's." Shiyou said.
"Deal." The girls said in unison then sighed when the vines retracted back into the ground, releasing them.
"I'd of made 'em clean my room for a week, but you're a neat freak just like your mom." Futeki said and laughed.
Kumo smirked, Shiyou was just like her mom Kurenai is many ways, thick black hair, red eyes, and very organized, everything in its place, but they aren't obsessive about it. "Okay, that's enough for today, go get cleaned up, if you behave I'll take everyone to Mouthful of Joy for dinner."
"REALLY? Will Dad be there?" The twin girls yelled together excitedly.
"I think he might, he takes Micchieru-chan there once a week since her daughter Kyouki-chan owns it... I think today's the day, we won't know until tonight so you better behave." Kumo said, she knew they knew that already, but she liked to drag it out.
"We'll be good, we promise." They said together.
"You better, you know how he feels about keeping promises." Kumo said seriously.
"Hai." The girls said immediately, he let 'em get away with a lot, but if they made a promise he expected them to keep it, if they didn't they got in BIG trouble, that was one of the few things he NEVER joked about, and a rule he never bent. That was something they knew everyone in Konoha did. He was their dad and the most fun adult they knew, which was saying a lot for Konoha, but no one broke a promise to him.
"Go get cleaned up then, and stay inside the house." Kumo said.
The 3 girls nodded, smiled and ran inside.
"Thanks Futeki-chan." Kumo said.
"Anything for my lil snake slut." Futeki said, gave Kumo a passionate kiss as she squeezed her breasts, then headed for the house.
"I can't wait until Anko-neechan gets back from MitaYuuhi." Kumo said with a perverted smile and a 'dreamy' look in her eyes.
===1:45 PM, North-East Konoha, Rosewood===
"Why do we always have to walk there mom, can't you just poof us there?" The girl said.
Sakura sighed and stopped just outside the entrance to the 400 acre walled-in forest that looked more like a training ground than an estate. "I told you Hazakura-chan this place is special, even though your Aunts Ino and Konan live here, there are special things here you can't find anywhere else..."
"Like the spring!" Hazakura interrupted excitedly.
"Hai, like the spring, that's why I had to make an appointment with Kintara-chan. Your dad put special seals all over to protect it, remember the first time I brought you to the entrance so you'd know where it was and you just ran in... what happened?" Sakura said.
Hazakura looked down at the ground. "A Kitsune appeared and grabbed me and carried me out to you like some bad puppy at the Inuzuka's."
"You know you don't have permission like I do, that's why the appointment. After you graduate from the academy and pass the test, you'll get the special pass like I have and can come here any time to visit them. And just being the Hokage's daughter doesn't mean you get special treatment everywhere, you know that." Sakura said.
"Sorry Kaa-san, I get a little excited sometimes and can't help myself." Hazakura said.
"Just like your dad when he was your age. Come on, I said we'd be there by two, we can still just make it if we start now." Sakura said.
"Can we run, I've been training hard, I can finish the course in under a minute now... please?" Hazakura said, pleading.
"Ponytail tied tight, sandals snug?" Sakura said and her older daughter nodded. "Were you nice to Namikura this morning, you know how your little sister looks up to you? You're only two years older, but you're also a Kitsune and my daughter, and that means you're special." Sakura said.
"We spent the morning playing ninja with Tsuni and Dan." Hazakura said.
"Okay, we can run... under a minute you say, then you should be able to keep up with me." Sakura said, turned and ran in at what would be fast for Hazakura. A few moments later she smiled as her daughter caught up to her, face serious, ears down, pink tail waving behind her in the wind.
===Ino's Place===
Konan walked into the kitchen, saw an open letter on the table and Ino was at the counter torturing some fresh dough. "I think he's dead, you can stop torturing him now." She said playfully, she knew what was going on just from Ino's actions, she didn't need to read the letter.
Ino growled, sighed and slumped. "It isn't fair Ko-chan... they all have kids... I love 'em like family and am proud to be the Godmother of their kids, but Shika and Choji both beat me to parenthood... CHOJI! He's a nice guy and a great dad, but I was the hottest girl at the Academy, except Hinata no girl had a more sought after pussy than mine, even up to six years ago. I can't believe every check up I ever had missed it, if Tsunade-chan hadn't tested her new diagnostic jutsu on me I never would of known I... I can't..." Ino said then clenched her fists.
Konan walked up behind Ino, gave her a warm hug, kissed her neck softly then held her right hand out in front of Ino, the ring on her finger gleamed under the light.
Ino put her hand over Konan's, her ring beside it, then gently squeezed Konan's hand, fingers interlaced. "I don't regret anything I've done or my life, I'm happily married to a beautiful woman, I'm a kunoichi in the best hidden village in the entire Elemental Nation, I have more friends and lovers than even I know what to do with, I have a huge Estate comparable to any other in Konoha, another estate in MitaYuuhi twice this size, I'm a registered Elite med-nin in four fields that I created special jutsu and techniques for, have my own fighting style and jutsu, teach at the Academy once a week, some of my best friends are the most powerful beings walking the planet, and the most respected non-Kitsune kunoichi in four of the five Elemental Countries... I have it all, why would I want to be tied down by some kids." Ino said with a little sadness at the end, tears forming in her eyes.
"Because being a mother is one of your childhood dreams and the only one left you haven't accomplished." Konan said, leaned in and kissed Ino's right cheek.
"Am I that transparent?" Ino said.
"Like glass... now stop this before you go into a depression again, you know what'll happen if Sakura sees you like this." Konan said.
"She'll tell Naruto-sama and he'll rip me a new ass... okay, if I know Hazakura-chan I'd bet my bush she got Sakura to let them run here from the gate. I'll be fine in a moment, take that letter to my room and seal it with the others. I'll make a pizza out of this. Be a dear and get the usual for Hazakura and Sakura's favorites... this should be enough dough for two mediums." Ino said.
Konan kissed Ino and smiled. "There's my Ino-chan, I'll be right back." Konan said happily.
===2:52 PM, Ino's Livingroom===
"Are you sure you want to hear this story again?" Ino said to the excited pink-haired girl sitting on the floor.
"Yes, please?" Hazakura said with a pouty pleading face the parents referred to as the puppy eyes jutsu.
"I have some really funny stories about your mom I..." Ino said with a smirk.
"Ino Yamanaka don't you dare tell her any of those stories!" Sakura said, glaring.
"Until you graduate at least." Ino said and winked at Hazakura, who giggled. "Fine, most of them you won't fully understand anyway, but I do have a few that I can tell you... later. Okay, on to something that won't get me in trouble with your mom. It started about five years ago in MitaYuuhi, while your mom was still pregnant with you. The fun didn't start until we got back to Konoha and I had a talk with Temari..."
=== 5 Years Ago, Feb 5, 5:36 PM, Namikaze Mansion===
"Can we use the bedroom by the stairs Naruto, I need to talk to Ino privately." Temari said.
"Sure Temari-chan... I should just make that a conference room, that's all I use it for anyway." Naruto said.
Temari lead Ino into the room, shut the door and sealed the room. "Okay Ino, now tell me about this dream you've been having, specific things that happen." Temari said seriously.
Ino went to the left side of the bed and sat down, suddenly slightly nervous about how Temari was acting. "There isn't much to it, its always the same, I'm gliding through the sky with my arms out to my sides like wings, but I don't flap them, I glide through the sky like you do on your fan. It always ends with me looking down, seeing Konoha, then I wake up."
"What were you wearing?" Temari asked.
"I was wearing... um, actually now that I think about it... I think I was nude." Ino said and blushed slightly.
Temari nodded and smiled. "I was too."
"What? You've had this dream?" Ino said, stunned.
"Exactly that dream, except that I saw Suna below me. Believe it or not, I didn't ride my fan until I was almost thirteen, I started having the dream when I was eleven and my tits really started getting big. I told Baki-sensei I was having a dream about flying because I was getting distracted during training and he wanted to know why, and he suggested I try to do it. He showed me how to modify my wind jutsu, and about two weeks later I was riding my fan when I needed to cross Suna quickly. With your wind jutsu you should be able to do it too, but you'll need some wings... hmm, I think that would work, and would even work with your fashion style. Come on, we're going to see Hotaru for a fashion upgrade." Temari said.
"Uh, okay." Ino said still a little stunned, trying to process everything Temari just said.
===5:46 PM, Iron Kimono===
ding ding
Temari entered the shop smiling, Ino following closely. "Hotaru, I have a custom order for you!" Temari called out.
Hotaru seemed to just appear nearby, a big smile on her face. "For who?"
"Ino, but I need to discuss it with you privately first, sorry Ino-chan, please stay up here." Temari said.
"Okay Temari-chan, but if this is a trick you'll spend the next couple hours having screaming orgasms out in the street." Ino said seriously.
Temari swallowed nervously, she KNEW Ino wasn't bluffing. "I promise, trust me Ino-chan, this'll blow your mind when we're finished."
Ino nodded and watched them head to the back of the store. "Its weird we had the same dream, but what does it have to do with my clothes and her fan. A fan isn't my type of weapon and she knows it."
===5:58 PM===
Ino was browsing the new battle kimonos when she saw them come out of the back and head for her along the counter, she went to meet them. "So now will you tell me what your up to Temari?".
Temari smiled. "If this works like I think, you'll have an advantage over every other ninja in the world once you master it."
"Oh really... let me guess, you found a way to let me fly." Ino said sarcastically.
Temari's expression didn't change for an instant. "Yes I did."
Ino glared at Temari a moment, and as she did her expression slowly changed to shock. "You aren't kidding are you?" Ino said nervously.
"No, I'm not. If I'm right, it's also a technique only you can use. So... you want to fly?" Temari said.
Ino fainted.
"I think that was a yes." Hotaru said with a smile.
===Feb 10, 9:00 AM, The Den, Front Yard===
"You know I'm not afraid of anyone... except Naruto, but if this doesn't work, or I panic... I'll need a closed casket funeral." Ino said nervously.
"That's why I'm here Ino, and I promise, I won't let anything happen to you." Naruto said seriously.
Ino turned to her 3 guests, Temari to her right, 6' away stood Tsunade and Naruto. No one else would know about this. "I have the seal that let's me pass thru the barrier, the wind is strong as always... and Naruto will save me if anything goes wrong... I can do this, I don't mind the height... but leaping off the top of a mountain into the open air this far above the ground isn't something anyone would normally do, even a shinobi. Okay, enough whining like a little girl, I'm Ino Yamanaka, Special Jonin!" Ino said, nodded to Temari, then Naruto and Tsunade behind her, Ino ran to the edge at top speed and leapt up and out into the sky, 20' up and a good 30' out, and threw her arms out to her sides. "KUNOICHI STYLE: WINGS OF LOVE!" A cloud appeared around Ino, when she emerged from it a moment later, she had what could only be described as 2, wing-like capes from her back, connected to her gloves curved out and down in a 3' half circle to her waist where it connected to her belt, it was kept semi-rigid by her chakra and the wind she was blowing against her to keep her aloft and moving forward. It took her a few minutes to fully get the hang of it as this was her first real test flight.
They watched Ino a few minutes, she was a little shaky they could tell, then they heard a scream, not of fear, but pure, unbridled joy, then watched her soar around in front and above them getting faster by the second until no civilian would of been able to even see her.
===10:53 AM===
Ino landed and immediately put a crushing hug on Temari. "OH KAMI THAT WAS FUN, THANK YOU TEMARI!"
Temari gurgled and slapped Ino's back.
"Ino she can't breath." Naruto said with a smirk.
Ino immediately released her. "Oh Kami, I'm sorry Temari-chan, I got a little overexcited."
Temari coughed a few times. "A little?" She said with a smirk and questioning, raised eyebrow.
Naruto and Tsunade laughed a few moments.
"Okay, enough fun. Until you've mastered this Ino, this technique is an A-Rank secret, not because it's dangerous, but I don't want you using this unless the situation demands it, I'd like to keep what you can do a secret as long as possible. Your current Hokage will tell you when you can tell your friends. Since many of them only use one hand, I want you to practice hovering and using them at the same time. When Jiraiya gets back tomorrow I'll inform him so he can add it to your training schedule. Any questions?" Tsunade said.
"No Tsunade-sama. I can't believe I'm about to say this... but I miss that old pervert... and if any of you tell him I said that you'll be sorry." Ino said.
They all nodded.
===END FLASHBACK===
"Yay!" Hazakura cheered and clapped. "Thanks Aunt Ino... um, Aunt Konan can we play origami?"
Konan smirked and glanced subtly at Ino and Sakura a moment. "Okay, I think I may have a few new things to show you." Konan said, stood, and lead her surrogate niece to the kids guest room.
"Okay Ino what's wrong? Don't bother denying it I saw the slight redness in your eyes, you were crying not five minutes before we arrived." Sakura said seriously to her best friend.
Ino sighed and looked into Sakura's eyes.
Sakura sighed sadly. "How bad was it this time... do I need to summon Tsunade-chan?"
"No, I'm fine. If anyone should get pregnant just by touching a dick, its me... you know I loved being single, partying with friends, getting fucked into a coma on a regular basis, even after Naruto-kun made me and Konan official we both enjoy the swinging life... but I grew up a Clan Heiress, I should have a couple kids by now." Ino said solemnly.
"We'll find a way Ino-chan, me, Tsunade, Shizune and Naruto-kun promised you we'd find an option other than Marking you... unless you changed your mind about it?" Sakura said.
"No, I haven't. As much as I'd love to have a Mate Mark, you know what Naruto would have to do.to correct my... flaw. You know I love you guys, and I'd do anything for you, kill... even die... but if it can't be done with a Clan Mark, or something similar, normal or Kitsune doesn't matter to me, I'd happily accept any kind of transformation if it meant I could be a mother..." Ino paused, took a deep breath, let it out, then stood and faced Sakura. "DAMMIT SAKURA MY PARENTS REFUSE TO HAVE ANOTHER CHILD OR LET ANYONE MARK THEM UNTIL I'M HEALED!" Ino screamed in rage.
Sakura didn't even flinch, she just stood calmly, gently hugged Ino and just held her. "I know Ino-chan, it'll all work out, you know that, please just calm down Ino-chan... I know you're suffering, but you aren't alone in this."
"I begged them... I debased myself in ways I don't want think about... they won't move on... I just want them to be happy Sakura... they're suffering because of me... because their... their Princess has a broken pussy." Ino said pathetically.
"Do you want me to get Temari? I'll tell Hazakura you got called to an emergency meeting. Konan can baby sit if you want me there." Sakura said.
"No... take me to Naruto-sama then leave... and please Sakura-chan, no questions." Ino said seriously.
===3:02 PM, Hokage Tower===
"What do you want Ino, I know it has to be big from the look on your face." Naruto said calmly from behind his desk after Sakura left.
"I want the necklace, its my only chance to be a mother, and you know I'm the only person that can do this anyway." Ino said.
Naruto sighed quietly. "Ino, I know what that scroll from the Beast's Cave said, but it leads deep into the mountains in Earth Country and for you that makes it an S-Rank mission, and I can't send anyone with you as backup. You could be gone for up to a year, alone in Earth Country, at the very least they'll kill you if you're captured, and unlike me, you don't have a retreat on sight order. You've read the reports, you know they're building a massive army and you know about how long we have before they're ready. Are you absolutely sure you want to do this Ino?"
"Hai, Naruto-sama. I'm truly sorry to put you in this position, but I had another breakdown earlier... a small one, but I can't let my friends and parents suffer any longer because of me, and I can't accept the Mate Mark." Ino said solemnly.
"Have you told Konan?" Naruto said.
"No, I want you to tell her after I'm gone, if she knew she'd stop me. I also want you to tell our friends, but no one else. This is an extended, special training mission as far as everyone else will know." Ino said.
"I didn't want to say anything, but I have another option that might work... the Fusion Seal." Naruto said.
"You mean the seal Kumo has? But how, even if you can modify it, there's nothing powerful enough to use it with that could heal me." Ino said.
"There is... a Celestial Guardian. They're just like the nine, tailed-beasts, but they can't be forced, because of their chakra and how the seal works, the Guardian would have to volunteer and has to feel a connection to you, like Qansiqwottle has with Kumo, that's why they had to wait so long."
'Why didn't you mention this before... what aren't you telling me?" Ino said.
"Because it has the same cost, the sealing ritual requires a sacrifice, but unlike how the bijuu are sealed it doesn't have to be the sealer. Only a few people know that though. I've talked to Allasheena about it, as much as I hate it, there are many in MitaYuuhi that have no children or are near the end of their life that would gladly do this for you. As Hokage I know lives must sometimes be sacrificed for the sake of the village, just like the first four Hokage's did. I hate both choices, but I must admit that despite my personal feelings, the sealing is the lesser of the two because the risk to your life is minimized."
Ino sat in the nearby chair. "I should slap you for not telling me this... but I understand why you didn't." Ino said, sighed heavily and sat silently for a minute. "If I became a Jinchuuriki, how long would it take?"
"A week to do the sealing tattoos, two to four weeks for it to prepare your body, it'll be easier on you because of your level, but beyond that is anyone's guess, it took Kumo almost three years to reach full power, you could take anywhere from a few months to a year because you're already Jonin level and Kumo was only a Genin. You'll also have to spend at least two months in MitaYuuhi, most of it preparing, and then recovering, before you can come back to Konoha. If you take this choice, can you live with yourself knowing someone gave their life for you to gain this power and be a mother?" Naruto said very seriously.
"I was prepared to leave when I had Sakura bring me here, but now I don't know... I know how you feel, and I've talked a little about it with Yugito. I can't make this decision alone, I'll talk to Konan tonight and give you my answer in the morning, I owe it to her. Thank you Naruto-sama... even after all the years I've known you, you can still surprise me." Ino said, bowed and left.
Naruto waited a moment after Ino shut the door then there was a puff of red smoke to his right by the desk. He sealed the room, opened a drawer, lifted something out and sat in on the desk. "You heard?" Naruto said and his guest nodded. "You were right, sometimes this job really sucks... join me for a drink Tsunade-chan?" Naruto said.
"I told you she'd eventually ask for it and you'd have to give her the option, and you know she's going to chose the seal. And Naruto-sama... I'm proud of you, and so would your father and the old man. I'd be honored to share a drink with you for this." Tsunade said.

He's a nice guy and a great dad, but I was the hottest girl at the Academy, except Hinata no girl had a more sought after pussy than mine, even up to six years ago. I can't believe every check up I ever had missed it, if Tsunade-chan hadn't tested her new diagnostic jutsu on me I never would of known I... I can't..." Ino said then clenched her fists.
Konan walked up behind Ino, gave her a warm hug, kissed her neck softly then held her right hand out in front of Ino, the ring on her finger gleamed under the light.
Ino put her hand over Konan's, her ring beside it, then gently squeezed Konan's hand, fingers interlaced. "I don't regret anything I've done or my life, I'm happily married to a beautiful woman, I'm a kunoichi in the best hidden village in the entire Elemental Nation, I have more friends and lovers than even I know what to do with, I have a huge Estate comparable to any other in Konoha, another estate in MitaYuuhi twice this size, I'm a registered Elite med-nin in four fields that I created special jutsu and techniques for, have my own fighting style and jutsu, teach at the Academy once a week, some of my best friends are the most powerful beings walking the planet, and the most respected non-Kitsune kunoichi in four of the five Elemental Countries... I have it all, why would I want to be tied down by some kids." Ino said with a little sadness at the end, tears forming in her eyes.
"Because being a mother is one of your childhood dreams and the only one left you haven't accomplished." Konan said, leaned in and kissed Ino's right cheek.
"Am I that transparent?" Ino said.
"Like glass... now stop this before you go into a depression again, you know what'll happen if Sakura sees you like this." Konan said.
"She'll tell Naruto-sama and he'll rip me a new ass... okay, if I know Hazakura-chan I'd bet my bush she got Sakura to let them run here from the gate. I'll be fine in a moment, take that letter to my room and seal it with the others. I'll make a pizza out of this. Be a dear and get the usual for Hazakura and Sakura's favorites... this should be enough dough for two mediums." Ino said.
Konan kissed Ino and smiled. "There's my Ino-chan, I'll be right back." Konan said happily.
===2:52 PM, Ino's Livingroom===
"Are you sure you want to hear this story again?" Ino said to the excited pink-haired girl sitting on the floor.
"Yes, please?" Hazakura said with a pouty pleading face the parents referred to as the puppy eyes jutsu.
"I have some really funny stories about your mom I..." Ino said with a smirk.
"Ino Yamanaka don't you dare tell her any of those stories!" Sakura said, glaring.
"Until you graduate at least." Ino said and winked at Hazakura, who giggled. "Fine, most of them you won't fully understand anyway, but I do have a few that I can tell you... later. Okay, on to something that won't get me in trouble with your mom. It started about five years ago in MitaYuuhi, while your mom was still pregnant with you. The fun didn't start until we got back to Konoha and I had a talk with Temari..."
=== 5 Years Ago, Feb 5, 5:36 PM, Namikaze Mansion===
"Can we use the bedroom by the stairs Naruto, I need to talk to Ino privately." Temari said.
"Sure Temari-chan... I should just make that a conference room, that's all I use it for anyway." Naruto said.
Temari lead Ino into the room, shut the door and sealed the room. "Okay Ino, now tell me about this dream you've been having, specific things that happen." Temari said seriously.
Ino went to the left side of the bed and sat down, suddenly slightly nervous about how Temari was acting. "There isn't much to it, its always the same, I'm gliding through the sky with my arms out to my sides like wings, but I don't flap them, I glide through the sky like you do on your fan. It always ends with me looking down, seeing Konoha, then I wake up."
"What were you wearing?" Temari asked.
"I was wearing... um, actually now that I think about it... I think I was nude." Ino said and blushed slightly.
Temari nodded and smiled. "I was too."
"What? You've had this dream?" Ino said, stunned.
"Exactly that dream, except that I saw Suna below me. Believe it or not, I didn't ride my fan until I was almost thirteen, I started having the dream when I was eleven and my tits really started getting big. I told Baki-sensei I was having a dream about flying because I was getting distracted during training and he wanted to know why, and he suggested I try to do it. He showed me how to modify my wind jutsu, and about two weeks later I was riding my fan when I needed to cross Suna quickly. With your wind jutsu you should be able to do it too, but you'll need some wings... hmm, I think that would work, and would even work with your fashion style. Come on, we're going to see Hotaru for a fashion upgrade." Temari said.
"Uh, okay." Ino said still a little stunned, trying to process everything Temari just said.
===5:46 PM, Iron Kimono===
ding ding
Temari entered the shop smiling, Ino following closely. "Hotaru, I have a custom order for you!" Temari called out.
Hotaru seemed to just appear nearby, a big smile on her face. "For who?"
"Ino, but I need to discuss it with you privately first, sorry Ino-chan, please stay up here." Temari said.
"Okay Temari-chan, but if this is a trick you'll spend the next couple hours having screaming orgasms out in the street." Ino said seriously.
Temari swallowed nervously, she KNEW Ino wasn't bluffing. "I promise, trust me Ino-chan, this'll blow your mind when we're finished."
Ino nodded and watched them head to the back of the store. "Its weird we had the same dream, but what does it have to do with my clothes and her fan. A fan isn't my type of weapon and she knows it."
===5:58 PM===
Ino was browsing the new battle kimonos when she saw them come out of the back and head for her along the counter, she went to meet them. "So now will you tell me what your up to Temari?".
Temari smiled. "If this works like I think, you'll have an advantage over every other ninja in the world once you master it."
"Oh really... let me guess, you found a way to let me fly." Ino said sarcastically.
Temari's expression didn't change for an instant. "Yes I did."
Ino glared at Temari a moment, and as she did her expression slowly changed to shock. "You aren't kidding are you?" Ino said nervously.
"No, I'm not. If I'm right, it's also a technique only you can use. So... you want to fly?" Temari said.
Ino fainted.
"I think that was a yes." Hotaru said with a smile.
===Feb 10, 9:00 AM, The Den, Front Yard===
"You know I'm not afraid of anyone... except Naruto, but if this doesn't work, or I panic... I'll need a closed casket funeral." Ino said nervously.
"That's why I'm here Ino, and I promise, I won't let anything happen to you." Naruto said seriously.
Ino turned to her 3 guests, Temari to her right, 6' away stood Tsunade and Naruto. No one else would know about this. "I have the seal that let's me pass thru the barrier, the wind is strong as always... and Naruto will save me if anything goes wrong... I can do this, I don't mind the height... but leaping off the top of a mountain into the open air this far above the ground isn't something anyone would normally do, even a shinobi. Okay, enough whining like a little girl, I'm Ino Yamanaka, Special Jonin!" Ino said, nodded to Temari, then Naruto and Tsunade behind her, Ino ran to the edge at top speed and leapt up and out into the sky, 20' up and a good 30' out, and threw her arms out to her sides. "KUNOICHI STYLE: WINGS OF LOVE!" A cloud appeared around Ino, when she emerged from it a moment later, she had what could only be described as 2, wing-like capes from her back, connected to her gloves curved out and down in a 3' half circle to her waist where it connected to her belt, it was kept semi-rigid by her chakra and the wind she was blowing against her to keep her aloft and moving forward. It took her a few minutes to fully get the hang of it as this was her first real test flight.
They watched Ino a few minutes, she was a little shaky they could tell, then they heard a scream, not of fear, but pure, unbridled joy, then watched her soar around in front and above them getting faster by the second until no civilian would of been able to even see her.
===10:53 AM===
Ino landed and immediately put a crushing hug on Temari. "OH KAMI THAT WAS FUN, THANK YOU TEMARI!"
Temari gurgled and slapped Ino's back.
"Ino she can't breath." Naruto said with a smirk.
Ino immediately released her. "Oh Kami, I'm sorry Temari-chan, I got a little overexcited."
Temari coughed a few times. "A little?" She said with a smirk and questioning, raised eyebrow.
Naruto and Tsunade laughed a few moments.
"Okay, enough fun. Until you've mastered this Ino, this technique is an A-Rank secret, not because it's dangerous, but I don't want you using this unless the situation demands it, I'd like to keep what you can do a secret as long as possible. Your current Hokage will tell you when you can tell your friends. Since many of them only use one hand, I want you to practice hovering and using them at the same time. When Jiraiya gets back tomorrow I'll inform him so he can add it to your training schedule. Any questions?" Tsunade said.
"No Tsunade-sama. I can't believe I'm about to say this... but I miss that old pervert... and if any of you tell him I said that you'll be sorry." Ino said.
They all nodded.
===END FLASHBACK===
"Yay!" Hazakura cheered and clapped. "Thanks Aunt Ino... um, Aunt Konan can we play origami?"
Konan smirked and glanced subtly at Ino and Sakura a moment. "Okay, I think I may have a few new things to show you." Konan said, stood, and lead her surrogate niece to the kids guest room.
"Okay Ino what's wrong? Don't bother denying it I saw the slight redness in your eyes, you were crying not five minutes before we arrived." Sakura said seriously to her best friend.
Ino sighed and looked into Sakura's eyes.
Sakura sighed sadly. "How bad was it this time... do I need to summon Tsunade-chan?"
"No, I'm fine. If anyone should get pregnant just by touching a dick, its me... you know I loved being single, partying with friends, getting fucked into a coma on a regular basis, even after Naruto-kun made me and Konan official we both enjoy the swinging life... but I grew up a Clan Heiress, I should have a couple kids by now." Ino said solemnly.
"We'll find a way Ino-chan, me, Tsunade, Shizune and Naruto-kun promised you we'd find an option other than Marking you... unless you changed your mind about it?" Sakura said.
"No, I haven't. As much as I'd love to have a Mate Mark, you know what Naruto would have to do.to correct my... flaw. You know I love you guys, and I'd do anything for you, kill... even die... but if it can't be done with a Clan Mark, or something similar, normal or Kitsune doesn't matter to me, I'd happily accept any kind of transformation if it meant I could be a mother..." Ino paused, took a deep breath, let it out, then stood and faced Sakura. "DAMMIT SAKURA MY PARENTS REFUSE TO HAVE ANOTHER CHILD OR LET ANYONE MARK THEM UNTIL I'M HEALED!" Ino screamed in rage.
Sakura didn't even flinch, she just stood calmly, gently hugged Ino and just held her. "I know Ino-chan, it'll all work out, you know that, please just calm down Ino-chan... I know you're suffering, but you aren't alone in this."
"I begged them... I debased myself in ways I don't want think about... they won't move on... I just want them to be happy Sakura... they're suffering because of me... because their... their Princess has a broken pussy." Ino said pathetically.
"Do you want me to get Temari? I'll tell Hazakura you got called to an emergency meeting. Konan can baby sit if you want me there." Sakura said.
"No... take me to Naruto-sama then leave... and please Sakura-chan, no questions." Ino said seriously.
===3:02 PM, Hokage Tower===
"What do you want Ino, I know it has to be big from the look on your face." Naruto said calmly from behind his desk after Sakura left.
"I want the necklace, its my only chance to be a mother, and you know I'm the only person that can do this anyway." Ino said.
Naruto sighed quietly. "Ino, I know what that scroll from the Beast's Cave said, but it leads deep into the mountains in Earth Country and for you that makes it an S-Rank mission, and I can't send anyone with you as backup. You could be gone for up to a year, alone in Earth Country, at the very least they'll kill you if you're captured, and unlike me, you don't have a retreat on sight order. You've read the reports, you know they're building a massive army and you know about how long we have before they're ready. Are you absolutely sure you want to do this Ino?"
"Hai, Naruto-sama. I'm truly sorry to put you in this position, but I had another breakdown earlier... a small one, but I can't let my friends and parents suffer any longer because of me, and I can't accept the Mate Mark." Ino said solemnly.
"Have you told Konan?" Naruto said.
"No, I want you to tell her after I'm gone, if she knew she'd stop me. I also want you to tell our friends, but no one else. This is an extended, special training mission as far as everyone else will know." Ino said.
"I didn't want to say anything, but I have another option that might work... the Fusion Seal." Naruto said.
"You mean the seal Kumo has? But how, even if you can modify it, there's nothing powerful enough to use it with that could heal me." Ino said.
"There is... a Celestial Guardian. They're just like the nine, tailed-beasts, but they can't be forced, because of their chakra and how the seal works, the Guardian would have to volunteer and has to feel a connection to you, like Qansiqwottle has with Kumo, that's why they had to wait so long."
'Why didn't you mention this before... what aren't you telling me?" Ino said.
"Because it has the same cost, the sealing ritual requires a sacrifice, but unlike how the bijuu are sealed it doesn't have to be the sealer. Only a few people know that though. I've talked to Allasheena about it, as much as I hate it, there are many in MitaYuuhi that have no children or are near the end of their life that would gladly do this for you. As Hokage I know lives must sometimes be sacrificed for the sake of the village, just like the first four Hokage's did. I hate both choices, but I must admit that despite my personal feelings, the sealing is the lesser of the two because the risk to your life is minimized."
Ino sat in the nearby chair. "I should slap you for not telling me this... but I understand why you didn't." Ino said, sighed heavily and sat silently for a minute. "If I became a Jinchuuriki, how long would it take?"
"A week to do the sealing tattoos, two to four weeks for it to prepare your body, it'll be easier on you because of your level, but beyond that is anyone's guess, it took Kumo almost three years to reach full power, you could take anywhere from a few months to a year because you're already Jonin level and Kumo was only a Genin. You'll also have to spend at least two months in MitaYuuhi, most of it preparing, and then recovering, before you can come back to Konoha. If you take this choice, can you live with yourself knowing someone gave their life for you to gain this power and be a mother?" Naruto said very seriously.
"I was prepared to leave when I had Sakura bring me here, but now I don't know... I know how you feel, and I've talked a little about it with Yugito. I can't make this decision alone, I'll talk to Konan tonight and give you my answer in the morning, I owe it to her. Thank you Naruto-sama... even after all the years I've known you, you can still surprise me." Ino said, bowed and left.
Naruto waited a moment after Ino shut the door then there was a puff of red smoke to his right by the desk. He sealed the room, opened a drawer, lifted something out and sat in on the desk. "You heard?" Naruto said and his guest nodded. "You were right, sometimes this job really sucks... join me for a drink Tsunade-chan?" Naruto said.
"I told you she'd eventually ask for it and you'd have to give her the option, and you know she's going to chose the seal. And Naruto-sama... I'm proud of you, and so would your father and the old man. I'd be honored to share a drink with you for this." Tsunade said.
