In denial

Naruto shot up as he heard his door slam open. A quick look at his clock told him it was 4am, he tried to get up and ready for a fight when a figure cane charging into his room.

He saw a flushed Hinata sucking wind. She reached into her pocket and threw something at him.

He ducked under what he assumed were throwing stars but the projectile didn’t whirl past him, it instead quickly slowed to a halt before drifting down onto his face. He pulled the cloth off and saw a pair of panties in his hand.

She had her hands on her knees and was sucking wind. Before he had a chance to say anything Fu ran in behind her and not long after the blond girl who’d tried to brainwash him arrived. Temari, that was her name.

“What are you three doing here.” He asked, glaring at the two who were now breaking into his home for the second time.

“I Umm, I don’t know? I just know you needed my panties.” Hinata answered, somewhat unsure of herself.

“What? Who said, I needed them?” Naruto asked, glaring at the two who he’d explicitly told to “not let them know” if they were gonna mess with a girl.

“No one. I just umm. Well I could feel that having my panties would mean you wouldn’t feel lonely.” She said, fidgeting as her shy nature battled her brainwashing induced confidence.

“Nah it’s true. The girl is nuts for you master, like totally in love to a freaky degree. She somehow knew that giving you her panties was what you wanted to trust us, and that you’d feel less alone. And that was apparently good enough for her.” Fu exclaimed.

“Alright that’s it. I’m sick of this bullshit, what do you want?” Naruto asked ina cold voice.

“Wait what? What do you mean?” Temari asked, confused at his sudden shift and scared as she realized a demon container nine times more powerful than her brother and immune to her jutsu was getting angry right in front of her. Even worse still he seemed to be angry AT her.

“That story screams so much bullshit that even I’m not dumb enough to believe it, but sure let’s keep pretending. Stop. I’m ordering you to tell me what you want.” Naruto said scooting back as he did to make distance.

“We want to make you happy.” All the girls called out at once in a monotone voice. Naruto wanted to scream but settled for grabbing his hair and nearly pulling a chunk of it out.

“No besides the brainwashing stuff what do you want with me, why are you here?” He clarified.

“I don’t wanna be left alone again.” Fu said.

“I want to feel safe.” Temari admitted

“I want to stand by your side.” Hinata added.

Naruto sighed as he thought about what to do. Hinata was obviously brainwashed since there’s no way she’d throw him her panties otherwise. Even if the other girls were just lying about being hypnotized themselves they obviously could do it to others. The only question was, how could he make use of that fact to catch them?

He could order Hinata to answer him, but maybe the girls had actually ordered her to think that whatever story they had was true. He had to think of something they wouldn’t or couldn’t order her into lying about or faking. Something they’d never think he’d order but that would catch their lie.

Naruto scratched at his head in frustration. If only there was some way to ask Hinata without any of the brainwashing stuff in the way. Hey wait that might work.

“Hinata when I clap my hands all the brainwashing will go away and you’ll remember everything.” He said with a bang.

Hinata’s eyes seemed to immediately focus up and she looked at her panties still in his hand, turning a bright red and finding that her words were caught in her throat.

“Hey Hinata it’s okay now, they can’t mess with your head. Can you tell me what they’re really up to?” Naruto asked and suddenly Hinata felt her urge to faint as she felt sorrow well up in her gut.

Naruto just had three girls who were totally subservient to him but couldn’t accept it because the feeling of someone putting his needs first was so alien to him.

“N-n-Naruto-Kun, The-they umm, they didn’t lie.” Hinata managed to **** out the words.

Naruto froze and stared at her for a moment he shook his head and looked at her confused.

“What, what are you talking about?” He asked shakily.

“They they umm, they are totally under your hypnosis an-and I was too.” She bit out as she started to feel light headed. And saw him grabbing his head as if unable to comprehend what she’d said.

“Umm Naru-naruto-Kun, could could. Could you um, put the brainwashing b-back?” She asked him, feeling like the words choked her as she said them.

“Wait what? That’s the craziest thing you’ve said all night. Why would you want to be under someone’s control?” He asked now feeling like he had even more questions than when he started.

“They- well, they did-dint change m-much an-and it’s easier to-to talk.” She admitted embarrassingly.

Naruto stared at her as she fidgeted. He was tired and he was annoyed and he’d always been better at figuring out things on the fly rather than trying to plan shit out.

“Fine, when I clap my hands the brainwashing will come back and you’ll tell me what you wanted to say.” He said was a slap of his hands.

He saw Hinata stand up straighter and look at him with a smile, she ran up and hugged him tightly. Naruto was already dazed by the action and certainly wasn’t ready for what was next.

“I love you Naruto. I’ve been too shy to ever say that or do anything but it’s true, it’s been true for years. I wanted you to brainwash me again because it’s not making me do stuff I don’t want to, it’s just making me do stuff I’d want to do anyways but never could.” She said as she stood back and then froze.

Come to think of it Temari and Fu were frozen as well, they had been this whole time. Oh right he’d told them to stop.

Naruto’s blood raced as he saw them. He actually had three girls who he could do anything with, do anything to. This was actually real and exam later that day or not, he was gonna at least try out this privilege.
