Sakura Haruno & Ino Yamanaka

"Forehead girl?" Ino raised an eyebrow, "What are you doing here?"

Ino couldn't put her finger on it, but something about her age-old rival seemed a bit... off.

On most days, Sakura was fairly put together, as was befitting of the Hokage's apprentice. She wore her bubblegum pink hair short, to nearly shoulder-length, which ensured that it couldn't be gripped by enemy nin. To help with that, she tied it back, using her forehead protector as a makeshift headband. Despite herself, Ino was rather proud of her age-old rival for that choice. She recalled that up till the chunin exams, Sakura used to wear her hair long to impress Sasuke.

Her choice to wear it shorter was a good sign that she was taking her training more seriously.

Similarly, she had traded in her red dress for a red zip-up jacket and black shorts, once more a practical choice for an aspiring kunoichi, though admittedly the shorts were covered by a rather pointless light purple skirt. The ensemble was completed with light purple elbow sleeves, dark purple gloves, and combat sandals.

This, combined with the contrast of Sakura's gem green eyes, gave her a certain appeal to men who liked the color pink or red. Ino might even be jealous of Sakura if the man they had both started this rivalry over hadn't gone ahead and turned traitor.

Today though she had made minor changes to her outfit, though Ino couldn't say that they were anything unusual. For starters, she had decided to leave her jacket unzipped and hadn't worn a bra.

Even as Ino watched, the man standing next to her-

There was a man next to her. How had Ino missed that? It must have been because he looked so normal. He just blended into the scenery.

-leaned down to her exposed chest and took one her nipples into his mouth biting down gently, turning Sakura's answer to her question into an incomprehensible shriek. That was normal too. There was a reason more than a few people used to call Sakura a harpy when she was younger.

The man let go of her nipple after a few seconds (Ino noted with a bit of interest that even Sakura's nipples were pink, her eyes drawn by the glittering saliva left on it) and changed the angle of his attack to suck on the side of her breast. That would leave a hickey, Ino thought to herself, but what's one more to the two that were already there?

Eventually, the man drew back from the squirming kunoichi and kissed her on her blushing cheeks. Even while he continued to play with her rival's body, Ino noticed that his eyes were fixed on her. Ino noted the hunger in his gaze but made no move to back away or do anything to demonstrate discomfort. Why would she?

His gaze was perfectly normal.

Ino Yamanaka was gorgeous, one of the two girls that he had spent his time in the academy fantasizing about, the other being Hinata Hyuga. Thinking back to those days, he recalled both Ino and Sakura had a crush on a traitor by the name of Sasuke Uchiha.

If he had chosen Sakura over Ino, then Izuko could conclude that in addition to being a treasonous bastard, Sasuke was blind, deaf, and dumb.

Ino was stunning with long platinum blonde hair that reached her ass and light-blue green eyes, a color that reminded him of cotton candy. Coupled with her tall, willowy frame, her features ensured that she would have wonderful prospects as a model if she wanted it.

Going by her confidence and dress sense, Ino knew it. Her clothes exposed more than they covered, with a skin-tight button-up tank top that left her creamy stomach bare and hugged her tits closely enough that every male couldn't help but stare. Her skirt parted in the front, exposing her shorts, most of it mesh as well, and only went to her mid-thigh regardless. Her knees and elbows were also covered in mesh.

"You'd do great on seduction missions," Izuko mused out loud, staring at Ino, while still fondling Sakura's ass. It didn't matter though. After he got her, Ino would only be having one lover, and that was him.

Going after Ino came with risks, of course. As the heiress to a clan of mind-experts, if anyone could break out of his hold, then it would be her.

To minimize the risks, one of the first things he had done, almost immediately after fucking Kurenai for the first time, was to seek out Inoichi Yamanaka, Ino's father and Head of the Yamanaka Clan, and use the earring's powers on him. After verifying it worked, Izuko breathed out a sigh of relief and accepted it would probably work on Ino as well.

That said, he had taken a few extra steps as well.

He assumed, of course, that Inoichi was the most powerful, but there were no guarantees that if he stuck around the hundreds of Yamanaka's in the compound, one of them couldn't figure out what was happening. To minimize the odds of that happening, Izuko concluded that it would be for the best to remove Ino from the compound altogether and order her to move in with him. He also intended to forbid her from continuing her ninja training.

Without new techniques or outside aid, the odds of Ino breaking out were slim enough that he was willing to risk it.

It was probably for the best, all things considered. Useless fangirls tend not to make the best shinobi or clan heads. Without Ino, someone more worthy could take over the clan once Inoichi was gone. He was doing Konoha a favor.

Regardless, he should probably stop making out with Sakura and answer her question. What was it again? Oh yeah...
