8. Preparation for the Land of Waves

My daily schedule goes like this: In the morning, Kurenai-sensei gives Team 8 their D-rank mission. We work until the afternoon with a lunch break. Then we go into the forest to spar and practice our ninja skills.

Every day during 1v1 taijutsu training with Hinata I blast my Pheromones at full force. I make sure to praise her hard work, pat her on the back when she improves, and hug her when the opportunity arises.

I’m basically gaslighting Hinata into questioning her sexuality, though my intentions are honest. If she happens to indulge her newfound attraction to her kunoichi teammate I promise to take good care of her! I’d never break up with Hinata, make sure she’s well-loved every day, and give her lots of kids! Fufufu.

Hinata may be developing an odd impression of Kiba, though. He constantly has a hard-on whenever I’m around because he’s more sensitive to Pheromones. He tries to act like a big brother around her but I’m fairly certain she thinks he’s a pervert.

The consequence of hot-blooded sparring in a musky haze of Pheromones is that I have to take Kiba behind a tree and satisfy him afterward with my ‘clone’—otherwise, he’d be humping the leg of the next passerby. That’d be irresponsible of me!

I transferred all my meager belongings to Tenten’s apartment the first chance I got, though I ostensibly still have a bedroom in the Aburame main house. Every day I come home to a warm welcome of steamy lesbian sex with my girlfriend and occasional fellatio. Then we spend the night naked cuddling ourselves to sleep.

This week has been a massive improvement to my mental state. Between my prospective Hinata seduction, carnal gratification with Kiba, and making love to my new partner, I’m feeling more like a woman and more like myself each day.

Tenten has slowly teased out and released the pent-up anger in me ever since the episode with ‘my own personal hell.’ The more I look back on my Shino memories the more I feel betrayed by my family and the more certain I am of my need to take revenge on Choko. The only way for me to defeat old man Deus is to make the most of my life and enjoy it to the fullest!

I’m monitoring Naruto’s D-rank missions—typical cat-stuck-in-tree stuff. I don’t have an exact calendar for the Anime’s timeline, so I must stay vigilant. Every day I wrack my brain for a solution while fearing my opportunity to obtain a critical Kekkei Genkai will slip away.

There’s no way for me to sneak out of the Village with Kurenai keeping a close eye on us. ‘Missing-Nin’ who abandon their duties are put on a list and have bounties on their heads. If I want to stay in good standing here, I need to lose my sensei. Mustering my resolve, I make my decision.

Thus, when Naruto leaves on his first supposed C-rank mission, I’m perfectly prepared to enact my plan.

“What did you want to talk about?” Kurenai-sensei asks.

Earlier, I told her I had something to say in private and invited her to the Aburame main house. We’re sitting together by ourselves in my room.

“…”

“I know what you’re doing with Hinata-chan and Kiba-kun,” she says with a subtle smile. “Leading your team through sexual conquest is a classic kunoichi strategy. Did you really think you could defeat me in such a contest if I were isolated? Fufufu, you have much to learn about seduction and I’m more than happy to be your teacher…”

No, Kurenai-sensei. I’m well aware you’re an +S-rank seduction.

I wouldn’t dare face you alone.

“Shino-chan! Mommy got your note! I’m ready to kiss and make up if you are~!”

“Auto-defenestration jutsu!” I dive through the third-story window, recklessly shattering glass in my escape. I’m pitting the tiger against the dragon here, and I have no idea what the outcome of the mess I left behind will be, though I feel Kurenai has a decent chance of coming out on top.

Asuma-san, I’m sorry if you get cucked because of me. I don’t have a grudge against you and yet I’m resorting to this tactic. I swear I’ll make it up to you somehow!

The last thing I hear behind me before I fall out of earshot is, “Darn it! She got away again. Oh, hello Kurenai-chan! Can you help me with my big thing here? It just won’t calm down unless I can stick it somewhere soft and warm…”

If you can’t defeat one monster, lure it into the nest of another.

I put a female parasitic insect on Naruto before his departure to leave a scent trail for my male insects to follow. None of Team 7 are able to notice such a subtle method of tracking on their own. Kakashi or his ninken noticed, I’m sure, but likely assumed ‘Konoha politics’ instead of a Genin like myself. He won’t get involved unless his team’s lives are directly threatened.

I convinced Choko Aburame to create a fake C-rank solo mission to give me an excuse to visit the Land of Waves. (I told her I’d have a surprise ready in my room if she complied with my request; it’s not my fault she misinterpreted me, fufufu.)

Again, ninjas can’t just wander off on their own without permission. That’s how you become a Missing-Nin! But, with Kurenai thus ‘occupied,’ I’m able to accept this mission and skip town before anyone higher up the chain of command puts a stop to my travel plans.

In terms of the Anime timeline, I’m setting out a bit late. By the time I arrive, Haku will have already faked Zabuza’s death.
