Growing Numbers

The next morning, Naruko woke up with an aching body and a deep sense of satisfaction in her mind. Her eyes fluttered open with a great smile, straight into spiraling red eyes. Once again her mind shut down in a wash of pleasure and Satsuki smiled to herself. Last night had been far too tense for her taste, even though the outcome had been far better than she had even dreamed.

"Naruko, from now on you won't consciously realize that I've hypnotized you unless I tell you to remember. You will ignore any lapse in time and make excuses for yourself to avoid realizing what I am doing to you. If I ever want to put you back into this state without using my eyes, I can just tell you 'Sleep Time for Naruko' and you will enter a trance."

There. She was safe now, no matter what she did her...friend? Thrall? Playmate? ...Naruko wouldn't even consider leaving her. The power she had over Naruto, bending him so completely that he wanted to live as a she, completely under her command, it was so addicting.

She wanted more.

"Today, while you are back in your Naruto form at the team meeting, I want you to think about each and every last time Sakura has rejected you, or struck you. I want you to let those feelings grow until you desire nothing more to pay her back for all of the trouble she has caused you. And then, once your emotions are at a peak, you shall inform me that you want my help in taking her mind. Now, 3...2...1...awake!"

"What do you mean you two are dating?!" Sakura exclaimed. "What the hell did you do to her Naruto? There's no way that she would willingly date someone like you!" Naruto scowled and stalked over to Satsuki's side, shoving Sakura away.

"What do you say we have a bit of fun with her?" He whispered into her ear.

45 seconds after her arriving. That was...honestly a lot faster than she had been expecting. Whatever works.

"After training I'll invite her over to hang out with me. She's been begging to spend time with me for over a month, it should make this really easy. We just need to make sure Kakashi doesn't catch on."

Sure enough, when Satsuki invited Sakura over, she was more than happy to oblige. The pink haired girl practically dragged her teammate through the streets until they reached the Uchiha district.

"Okay spill. What does Naruto have over you right now, and how can I help you get out of it?" Were the first words out of Sakura's mouth as soon as the door behind them slammed shut.

"What? He doesn't have anything over me Sakura! I'm the one that asked him out!"

"What? But, why? He's Naruto! He's awful at everything, he's loud obnoxious, and he's such a pervert! How the hell did he make you think that dating was a good idea?"

"At first I just wanted help avoiding Kiba-"

"Oh! Using one loser to block another! That makes so much more sense!" Sakura breathed out a sigh of relief, convinced that the mystery was solved. Satsuki scowled at the assumption and decided then and there that toying around or dragging it out had lost any sort of appeal. There was a flash of red light and Sakura's mind slept.
