Hypnotic Induction: Yamanaka Style

Ino thought back to some scrolls she had been fascinated by. While her father had personally taught her the mind scribe, she had taken a personal interest into researching her clan's hypnotic techniques. How to entrance someone, how to charm them, how to ease someone into a suggestible state and make them your puppet without them even realizing it. She couldn't explain why but to her, there was just something so enticing about it over the other mental abilities of her clan. So she had poured over dozens of scrolls on the subject and even memorized a couple. She hadn't mastered any of them, yet, it was all purely theoretical. But she had always longed to be able to try it out on someone. And for it to be with Naruto of all people, with him offering himself up to her like this, it made her heart flutter.

She took his hand and guided it to her chest. She ignored Naruto's gasp in anticipation as she closed her eyes and took a deep breath in.

"I want you to match my breathing," she instructed as she let the breath out.

She breathed in again, held it for a moment, then exhaled. She could feel Naruto trying to sync up with her breathing. In, and out. In, and out. Little by little, she could slowly feel him begin to match her breath. She let go of his hand and was pleased to feel that he kept it on her chest.

She made two quick hand signs and whispered: "Ninja Art: Siren's Voice Jutsu."

It was a jutsu that would enhance the frequency of her voice and would allow her to alter her target's brainwaves to an extent. While not powerful enough to affect memories nor anything close to that, this jutsu was designed as an effective and subtle means to turn an unsuspecting target docile and malleable. With the jutsu activated, Ino opened her eyes and stared straight into Naruto's with a commanding gaze. Naruto hadn't been able to make out what she had just murmured, nor was he sure what she was doing, but he felt compelled to match her gaze.

"Before I start the mind scribe," she began, "I want you to get into a comfortable position. I want you to feel at ease as you listen to me. I want you to relax as you listen to me. Drift into a state of sublime relaxation as long as you listen to me."

Naruto immediately noticed her voice had changed. It still sounded clearly like Ino, but it took on a new quality to it. It was a lower, yet still sweet and soothing tone that transfixed Naruto. A slow and rhythmic cadence that seemed to flow over and through him, and left him hanging on every word. It was like that initial rush of getting the potion on him all over again. Everything else in his room began to shrink away, all that he could see- all he could hear, all he could feel- was Ino.

"I want you to be conscious of your body," she continued. "Be mindful of physical sensations."

Naruto suddenly became acutely aware of her hands on his bare chest, softly massaging him in slow, measured caresses. He briefly contemplated how and when his clothes got removed, but he quickly stopped caring. That didn't matter. It felt good to listen to her. He just needed to relax for her sake. A faint smile spread formed on his lips.

"I want you to continue breathing with me."

Their breaths were completely synchronized by now. Naruto continued to listen dreamily as their eyes continued to be locked on each other.

"As you inhale, I want you to feel your chest raise as you breath in."

He could feel his lungs expand, feel her hands on his body, see only her face, hear only her words.

"Exhale," she softly commanded as they both let their breaths out. "Each exhale will chip away at your thoughts...your worries...anything that might distract you from becoming calm. Cleansing you. So that all your focus and attention... is on me. Now breath in again."

They breathed in together, again.

"Feel the air but also make note of how your breath is drawing in my words, my presence." She paused as she gave a smile at seeing Naruto already captivated. "Now exhale."

It felt like he was sinking into the bed.

"Again, your thoughts are beginning to dissipate. The noises are getting quieter, pay no attention to your surroundings. The outside world fades away. It's just you, and me. Nothing else matters right now."

Her words became truth to him. Naruto had lost all awareness of where he was, the time, what he had been doing before. All that he could focus on was the alluring angel before him, and her words.

"Continue relaxing as you breath. As you listen to me," she moved her hands from his chest up to his shoulders, "-listen to me closely."

Naruto couldn't imagine not.

"Allow me to pull you in. Closer to me." And as if to emphasize, she leaned in so that her face was only a few inches from his. "You're safe here so all you have to do is continue to breath...and relax."

Naruto's eyes were beginning to close as well as dim, but he tried his best to keep them open so he could continue looking into hers.

"Shhh, it's okay if you close your eyes. You'll still be able to see my face. Every inch of my beauty has already engraved into your mind."

Naruto's eyes drooped shut. But he never lost sight of Ino. Even with them closed, he could still envision her perfect form right before him, staring adoringly at him.

"I know that you're already paralyzed by my voice, my beauty. And it leaves you in a state that all you can do is listen. All you want to do is listen."

They took in another breath and let it out.

"And listen closely, knowing how weak I make you. With each word that leaves my lips, you find yourself sinking deeper into my spell."

Ino paused. She was pretty sure he was under enough for her to move on to the actual Mind Scribe. But, seeing her man entranced like this, by her own hand, it awoke something in Ino. It can't hurt to push this further, she figured.

"Keep breathing. Keep listening. Keep absorbing my words." Her tone had shifted to something more commanding, though it remained soft and soothing. "When we start, I will be molding you. And you want to be the pliable clay in my hands. But in order to mold you, there is something you must do."

Anything, I'll do anything, Naruto called out internally, **** to hear her instructions.

"You must break down the walls between us in your mind. You must lower all your defenses. You want to tear them down....so I can bring us closer."

Ino waited for her words to take effect. Naruto’s brow furrowed in concentration momentarily as he tried his best to do what she asked, but otherwise didn’t react. He was more than willing to destroy whatever lay between him and his Ino. If that meant fully baring every part of his inner being to her, he’d do it in a heartbeat. After a few seconds, his expression returned to a serene smile.

"You feel defenseless,” Ino declared and it became reality for Naruto, he had never felt so ****. “Yet, you've never felt safer than right now, with me."

It felt like she was cradling his mind. It was such a strange feeling; comforting yet exhilarating. He felt so weak yet empowered simultaneously, completely trusting her loving hold on him. And every breath sent him deeper into this embrace. Having spent his life alone, he had never known such intimacy and tenderness. This was a love that he hadn't even realized he had yearned for. Tears began to seep out of his shut eyes. He wanted to stay in this place with her forever.

"You're noticing this wave of pleasure that's overtaking your entire body right now. A pleasure that you know you could only feel because you gave yourself to me."

Naruto took in another breath and sunk deeper. The last of his resistance, stress, and strength had completely vanished.

"You don't care that you're exposed and **** in front of me, do you?" Ino asked rhetorically. No, Naruto instinctively answered back in his thoughts and he subconsciously shook his head ever so slightly.

"You want it in fact." She gently encouraged. Yes, Naruto silently admitted as he gave a weak nod.

"You want it desperately," she insisted. "And I want this for you. You want me to pull you deeper...."

Ino barely noticed her head began to dip.

"...and deeper...."

She could feel her owns eyes begin to close.

"....and deeper..."

Her body began to slump and she almost collapsed onto Naruto. She caught herself and shook her head. She couldn't believe she had very nearly slipped under too from her own technique. That would've been bad. Maybe that's enough for now, she thought, time to move on.

"-So deep, that you won't be able to awaken, until I say so."

She leaned in and kissed Naruto, who didn't even react in the slightest. The platinum girl took a deep breath of her own. Here we go. She made the signs for her jutsu.

"Mind Scribe Jutsu!"

And with that, she placed the palm of her hand on Naruto's forehead.
