The feeling of using Breast Flow was so orgasmic that it was a wonder Sakura hadn't yet succumbed to the pleasures of the flesh and gone on a breast-hunting rampage, until her breasts grew so large and heavy they touched the ground even while she stood upright.
"Ngh…" Sakura moaned, her entire body quivering with pleasure. "Oh~!"
Sakura's tits, which had swollen from full F-cups to gigantic G-cups over the past half hour under the influence of the energy-dense curry pill she had taken, began to quiver and shake, straining to escape the already tight confines of her garments.
Her red top was the first article of her attire to give up the ghost.
The front burst open, sending the zip pull shooting off like a bullet, and revealing the white sarashi beneath, wrapped tightly around her chest. Pulled taut as her breasts expanded, the layers of cotton strips tapered into a single, narrow band of cloth that barely concealed her nipples… yet despite being neatly covered, her pink teats stood tall and proud, plainly visible through the stretched thin, almost see-through fabric.
"Ow, my eye!"
[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining half of the breast chakra required to redeem the Advanced Nature Kekkei Genkai Synthesis function! Please strive to obtain Terumī Mei's breast chakra next!]
"Oi! Get off Lady Guren!"
Sakura raised her head.
"You've got to be kidding me," Sakura muttered.
Led by Kabuto, Orochimaru's mutant test subjects poured into the arena through the tunnel that had once been blocked by Guren's crystal thorns. Unfortunately, Sakura had accidentally reduced the blockade to dust when she had broken the Crystal Style, and now she was about to be swarmed by creatures more beast than man!
A low buzzing sound suddenly began filling the underground arena.
"Did you know?" a disembodied voice echoed throughout the coliseum. "The life cycle of a Kikaichū is two years— but when exposed to the chakra of an Aburame clansman, this process can be shortened to half a day."
The droning of insect wings was growing uncomfortably loud.
"Shino!" exclaimed Sakura.
As one, everyone in the arena looked up.
Still wearing his signature sunglasses despite venturing underground, and clad in a windbreaker with the hood drawn low over his brow, Shino descended from the ceiling on a swarm of flying insects.
Sakura screamed internally.
"I have done nothing but cultivate new insects without rest over the past four days," Shino said calmly as he stepped off the cloud and landed by Sakura's side. "But to think that just as I'd finally bred Kikaichū immune to crystallisation, you'd already finished off the Crystal User... As expected of Sakura-san."
Shino spread his arms wide, and Sakura screamed and cowered as a seemingly endless swarm of Kikaichū spilled from his sleeves in a thick, black cloud of buzzing wings, mandibles and segmented legs. The bugs began attacking the mutants, stripping the flesh from their bones and devouring them alive in a chorus of their victims' screams.
Sakura huddled in a corner, trembling in fright, and five minutes later, there was nothing left of the mutants but white bones. It was only once the insects had finally stopped buzzing about and returned to roost inside Shino that she dared open her eyes. Even the putrefied corpses that had been stinking up the arena had been picked clean, leaving the air far more breathable.
"What's the matter?" Shino asked in a level voice. "If you're running low on chakra, my Kikaichū can replenish yours with the chakra they absorbed from—"
"No, thank you!" said Sakura hastily, before swiftly changing the subject. "There's not much left of this lot… identifying them's going to be a bit tricky."
Sakura examined the white bones strewn about the floor, but Kabuto's glasses were nowhere to be seen. Perhaps he'd taken advantage of the confusion to run away? She seriously doubted a ninja of his calibre would have been beaten so easily.
As for Guren, she appeared to have been spared, perhaps because she had been unconscious. At any rate, her body was sure to be a treasure trove of information, so Sakura slapped a chakra-suppressing seal on the woman's forehead and hefted her onto her shoulders.
BOOM!
A distant explosion echoed through the underground. The ground trembled, sending a shower of pebbles and dust raining down on Sakura and Shino from the cave ceiling.
"That'll be Kabuto and Nanashi destroying the evidence," sighed Sakura. "We should probably get out of here before the ceiling comes down on our heads."
…
Once they had returned to the safety of the surface through the passage Shino had dug to reach the underground coliseum directly, Shino and Sakura made their way back to the hideout via the main entrance.
Just as Sakura had guessed, by the time they arrived, any room containing experiments of any significance had already been artificially caved in, and all important documents reduced to cinders, so they were forced to return to camp with only one Guren to show for their efforts.
But when they arrived at Takumi Village, they were met with a strange sight: Lady Tsunade, her foot pressed firmly on the chest of a white-haired, ornately dressed man, right in the heart of a crater. A crowd of people, artisans and Konoha-nin both, had gathered along the perimeter to watch.
"Damnable… crzzt. Konoha interlopers…" croaked Seimei, his voice sounding oddly tinny. "The era… of bzzt. Takumi Village… has cruiik. Come… crrk. At last."
Tsunade stomped hard on the mechanical man's chest, crushing it beneath her sandal. Gears and springs spilled from his innards in a slick splatter of engine oil, and with his voice box shattered, the patriotic, pre-recorded lines he had been repeating on a loop fell silent.
"Anyone else foolhardy enough to try and assassinate the Hokage?" Tsunade thundered, slapping her chest with an open palm, causing her heavy hangers to jiggle and ripple wildly. "I'm standing right here!"
"Lady Tsunade!" cried Sakura, pushing her way through the crowd. "What in the world are you doing here!?"
The Hokage was the last line of defence against invaders, after all.
Having seemingly ditched her honour guard, the Fifth Hokage had come with the current Head of the Hyūga clan, and even Naruto, Kakashi and Yamato had interrupted their all-important training to accompany her all the way to the Land of Rivers.
"It's all right, I'm just a Shadow Clone— the original sent me to help you restore Hinata," Tsunade replied dismissively, her eyes falling on Guren's unconscious body on Sakura's back. "But… you did obtain what you set out to get, haven't you?"
Sakura nodded.
"Then, let's begin," said Tsunade's Shadow Clone, turning on her heel. "Follow me."
