The stone walls looked damp from the place where the secret base was located. Right there, a boy with black hair and eyes of the same color walks. Beside him stands a girl and a boy. The girl had blood red hair and the boy had pale skin and sharp teeth.
'It won't be long until that day comes'.
The black-haired boy, Sasuke, narrowed his eyes as he remembered the past. He remembered that day as if it had been yesterday, even though it had actually been two years. That scene of Toru looking at him with that stupid emotionless face still had Sasuke internally conflicted.
'Toru... you said we're enemies now... I was hoping you could join me in my revenge against Itachi. Haha... but who would have guessed that you would end up being betrayed in such a stupid way. Well, I guess I can't change your way of thinking anymore. You're a coward, you're someone who is incapable of matching my hatred..."
Sasuke clenched his fists tightly. Although he was frustrated that his childhood friend wasn't able to hate Itachi like he did, he had to look to the future, a future where Itachi's blood covers his hands, a future where his revenge is carried out.
This makes Sasuke start to laugh silently.
'Toru... I wonder where you are. Surely you're still running away like the coward you are...'
Sasuke's eyes shone with the light of suffering and his smile widened. There was no doubt that, like Toru, Sasuke had also lost some of his sanity.
-Amegakure-
BOOM! SPLASH!
A gigantic explosion of water attracted the attention of all the villagers. Although it was obvious what was happening, everyone was still surprised to see Toru and Konan training.
Toru kept moving through the water like a swift insect while Konan tried to cut through it with the sharp paper blades. But even if she tried with all her chakra, Konan couldn't hit him, the only option she had was to use one of her most powerful jutsu and knock him out, but that wasn't going to be easy, as Toru moves at high speeds and getting him distracted was out of the question.
"Each time her attacks become faster and more precise. She, even though it's only been a few days, is learning fast."
Dodging the blades with a certain elegance in his movements, Toru's eyes momentarily lit up, however....
"¡¿?!"
Blood splattered, one of the blades managed to stab him in the back, causing Toru to fall face first into the water. Why was the blade able to hit him? Well, Toru lost his sight again in a single second. His entire field of vision went dark, as if everything had been filled with black fog. For this reason he could not see the blade approaching.
Konan noticed this, but did nothing and waited for Toru to come out of the water, which didn't take that long to happen.
Emerging from deep in the water, Toru closed his eyes. At that moment the shigan was activated, so even though he had closed his eyes, he could see the lines of death through his eyelids. Even if he went blind, he could still see the death lines.
'My sight is back... If I don't do anything about this, I'll end up going blind.'
Looking up, Toru saw Konan and his eyes flashed. Almost instantly, he disappeared and reappeared in front of her.
Toru took Konan by the chin and looked into her eyes. Konan didn't change her serious expression at that moment, but Toru did. He smiled softly as he said, "Learn from your mistakes by using pain as a means."
Boom!
Being hit by Toru in the stomach, Konan fell into the water, but Toru appeared at once to take her in his arms.
For a second, Toru felt the warmth of Konan's body in his hands. He was soft, very soft. It was a strange feeling for Toru, but somehow he liked that feeling. This made Toru smile as he looked at Konan.
"You stabbed my back. At least I should have a little revenge."
Konan looked at Toru and frowned. Feeling Toru's hands touching her body was a bit unpleasant, so she quickly summoned a wave of paper sheets that took care of hitting Toru and sending him flying into a building.
After that, Konan sighed and called an end to the training, as Toru was bleeding to death. Nagato had previously told Konan that he must not let Toru die, as he is a key player in Akatsuki's plans.
-Country of the wind-
Night fell so fast it was hard to notice. The sandstorms intensified and giant beasts began to prowl through the sand.
Inside the shelter, all the ninja who qualified for the next trial were gathered. Among them was Ajisai's team.
Ajisai and his team came in second place thanks to Toru allowing Ajisai to establish a contract with the Ōkami, this made it possible for her to summon Okaminaru.
"Fuyo, haven't you found anything yet? I have suspicions of someone, but I can't be sure" Ajisai frowned and looked at all the ninja that were in the place.
In the middle of the large room, there were two tables filled with food. It was a perfect feast for ninjas tired from running for three days straight. The Ajisai team was far away from everyone, so it was almost impossible for anyone to overhear them unless they had very developed hearing. Suiren had already taken measures regarding that, though.
"I suspect someone too. I guess we suspect the same person. You haven't found anything, Suiren?"
"No, not yet. I have analyzed most of the shinobi present here, but there is no one with chakra as great as Shi no Tenshi-sama's. Well, there are two people with ridiculous chakra, but they don't surpass our sensei."
Looking at two specific people, Suiren felt chills when she saw the chakra those people have. Although it wasn't even half the chakra that Toru has, without a doubt those people are extremely dangerous.
Ino and Hinata...
They were near the food table next to Sakura. There was also Enko and Hakuto, who had left their teammates for a few minutes to talk among girls.
"This is going to be tough. Without Shikamaru-san, I..." Hakuto covered her eyes with her hands. Just the thought of all the other shinobi made her body tremble with fear, after all none of them would show mercy.
"Relax, girl in love. You have me. Even if we're on different teams, if I ever find you I'll help you. Besides, you should let go of those ridiculous feelings you have. Shikamaru is already with that woman from Suna, and it's obvious that the two of them have something."
Enko was right. Everyone is suspicious about the relationship of those two. Shikamaru and Temari have been together for the past few months, so they could easily come up with some theories regarding that. However, this hurt Hakuto, who had been in love with Shikamaru for a long time.
Hinata looked at this and couldn't help but feel bad for Hakuto. The same thing was happening with Ino and Sakura.
"Ha~ I'm hungry" Interrupting the conversation, Ino decided that they shouldn't think about such sad things and forget about everything by eating Sunagakure's food. So she got up to go get some snacks, but realized something.
Far away from that place, in the other corner of the dining room, was a fat guy, who was sweating like a waterfall.
Ino sensed danger as the fat guy stood up and started walking in the direction of the food tables. She could feel a shiver run down her back and then a small bead of sweat fell from her forehead. At that instant, everyone stood up and thought the same thing. "If that guy gets anywhere near the food, we're screwed."
Suddenly, at that very moment, a gentle breeze touched Ino's arm and then she realized that Hinata had disappeared. It only took a second to realize that girl rammed into the guy using one of her palms to push him back, but that didn't do any good, the fat guy's sweat splashed with direct trajectory to the food on the tables.
Neji acted fast and used Hakke Kūshō to push the drops against the wall.
"Did he make it?" Rising from his seat, Rock Lee felt nervous. At the same time, Tenten, who was nearby, sighed nervously. For she realized the tragedy.
"No, he didn't..."
Hearing Tenten in such a disappointed voice, Enko looked at everything in disgust, for now the food was on the ground thanks to Chouji appearing out of nowhere and being hit by Neji's jutsu.
This, for some reason, started a pitched battle between all the shinobi present. The Suna shinobi were offended at losing the food, while the shinobi who were the fat guy's companions stood up to start a fight. Neji was the one who received the first blow, while Rock Lee appeared to defend him.
One after another, the others joined the fight and in a single second the whole dining room had turned into total chaos.
Meanwhile, Hinata looked at her hand and couldn't help but feel nauseous. The fat guy's sweat had stuck to her hand.
"I think I'll take a bath..."
Sneaking through all the Chaos, Hinata disappeared. Ino and Sakura saw this, so they followed her, running away from all the conflict. At the same time, a little further away, Ajisai's team was fighting against some guys looking for a fight. They were able to beat them easily, however, earlier when Neji prevented the fat guy's sweat from falling on the food, they received some of the sweat because they were close, or rather, farther away.
So, taking advantage of the fact that they saw some girls running away easily, they continued on the same path and disappeared.
-Elsewhere...-
One of the doors of the exam participants' rooms began to move violently. The door had chains and padlocks on the outside, so it was to be expected that someone was locked inside the room.
Boom!
The door exploded and slammed against the wall, although no one could hear the noise because a pitched battle was taking place nearby.
"Get out!"
Raising her arms and celebrating his victory, Fuu smiled. Now that she was free, she could go in front of all the other shinobi so she could invite them to be her friends.
"Huh? That's the wolf girl?"
Fuu frowned when she saw Ajisai walking next to her team, apparently she was following someone. This was weird for Fuu too, since, for some reason she felt like she should be following them.
"When I asked her if she wanted to be my friend she didn't respond. I guess I can ask her that in a better way this time. Hehe..."
-Somewhere else different
Hinata sighed heavily and closed her eyes.
"When we arrived I didn't see this bathroom. It's big and I'm surprised it's not outdoors. It's good though, because this could keep the perverts away."
Sakura felt at ease when she saw the bath. It seemed to be artificial hot springs, which would make any girl happy.
Ino also thought the same thing. So they wasted no time and followed Hinata, who at that moment was about to take off her clothes to leave them in the locker basket on the wall. However, she looked at Ino and Sakura for a second. Her face turned red and she stood with her arms raised about to take off her sweater.
Ino saw this and couldn't help but hold in her laughter. She had bathed together with Hinata before, but every time they bathed together, Hinata felt embarrassed to show her naked body. Even if it's just in front of her female friends, she feels very embarrassed.
This was something Sakura did not understand. So an evil smile formed on her mouth and appeared behind Hinata. She took this girl's sweater and forcibly took it off.
That moment was something strange. For Sakura could have sworn she heard the sound of a bounce. The answer to that came instantly when she saw Hinata's very well developed breasts squeezed inside her bra. Her jaw almost hit the floor when she saw these two large mountains.
"Don't do that, Sakura-san..."
With a flushed face, Hinata covered her chest with her hands. She avoided making eye contact and kept quiet after that. This had happened before, so Ino understood how Hinata felt. Therefore, Ino approached her and touched her shoulder.
"Me and Sakura will go in first. Take your time, but don't take so long."
Hiding her breasts even more, Hinata nodded her head and waited for Sakura and Ino to take off their clothes and access the hot spring baths. After that, Hinata was left alone in the dressing room.
She looked at her breasts and sighed.
'They are getting bigger... it's uncomfortable and my back hurts' Hinata thought as she took off her clothes.
Certainly the size of her breasts had been increasing lately and Hinata doesn't know what to do about it. She was feeling back pains because of this, plus she was finding it difficult to train with those two masses of flesh hanging from her chest.
Ignoring the fact that her own breasts were making her suffer, Hinata took off her clothes and became completely naked.
It could be clearly seen that the two years that passed made her grow in different places. Both her hips and breasts had grown.
After that, Hinata took a towel and covered the front of her body. She then entered the hot spring and saw Sakura and Ino, who had already submerged themselves shoulder-deep in the hot water. They looked pleased with the temperature of the water, so Hinata hoped that the water would not be too hot.
"Ha~"
Submerging herself up to her shoulders, Hinata let out a long sigh. She felt the tiredness from so much time training without rest begin to leave. Her face looked a little flushed due to the temperature of the water.
"This feels really good. It's been a while since we last went with Tsunade-sama to the hot springs" Ino let her back rest on the stone wall while still submerged in the water.
"Haha... When we're with her sometimes it can be fun, and other times it can be complete hell" Remembering her experiences training together with Ino, Sakura felt nostalgic even though it hasn't been long since the last time she trained with Tsunade.
Hinata seemed interested in the conversation, but only limited herself to listening, as she didn't have much to say about it. Besides this, Hinata noticed something uncomfortable in the water that made her clutch her own chest with her arms.
The water was making those two big mountains float. This made Hinata feel embarrassed again.
"Uh... you guys are..."
Sakura abruptly stood up from the water and looked at the people who entered the baths. She recognized them instantly, as those girls were the ones who came in second place, that is, one place before her own team.
Apparently, Ajisai's team ignored Sakura's team and went to the other side of the hot spring. They bathed before entering the water, finally all three of them met and relaxed in the water.
From here on, the situation was a bit awkward, since after that no one said a word.
