Chapter #6The Problems by: Oji   'Life just seems determined to keep me from having any sort of happy ending.' Sakura thought sourly. Despite being the only woman on the most powerful team of three in existence at the time, having been invaluable at multiple points during the fourth shinobi war and having unwaveringly backed both of her fellow teammates through thick and thin... neither one of them would give her the time of day anymore. 'Well, in all fairness Sasuke never really gave me the time of day anyways, so that shouldn't come as a surprise.' And if it came down to it, what had caught Sakura off guard wasn't that Sasuke was ignoring her. Rather it was WHY he was still ignoring her that got under the medical ninja's skin. As soon as he had been absolved of his crimes Ino had been all over him. The poor boy had fallen under her charms so fast that Sakura wished she could blame it on some kind of genjutsu. No such luck, and Sakura would know. She'd always had a good sense for the mind trickery of genjutsu... well after that first embarrassing brush with Kakashi-sensei at least. No, Sasuke had been taken in by nothing more then a beautiful body and clever feminine wiles utilized by a spoiled brat who had started to flirt with anything that had a dick and a heartbeat the moment that Sasuke left the village! 'Breathe Sakura, it's alright. You always knew Ino was targeting him, you shouldn't be so mad that she took advantage of the situation the moment that an opportunity presented itself.' It didn't really help much. Sakura had only ever yielded to Naruto's requests for a date on extremely rare occasions, and had made no effort whatsoever to actually pursue anyone else while Sasuke was gone. She had shown infinitely more patience and loyalty then the pig ever had. But as a direct result of her own abstinence from the dating scene as a whole and Ino's endless practice, Ino had the skills to capture the heart of Sasuke while Sakura was closer to a clumsy bull in a china shop in comparison! 'I need to stop thinking about those two. This stress and anger cannot be good for me.'
But her mind was still stuck on the whole infuriating situation. Sakura and Ino had actually gotten fairly close while Sasuke was... out of town. They had shared all kinds of secrets, gone on more then one shopping spree, and spent so many girls night outs together that Sakura could have picked out Ino's best "dress to kill" dating outfit blindfolded. And a pitiful part of that knowledge was an understanding of just how much better of a body Ino had. Sakura looked dejectedly down at her own, still nonexistent chest and sighed. 'I could actually get away with not even wearing the A-cup bras I buy. I should know too, I've done it on more then one occasion and even with the Sharingan or Byakugan, it doesn't matter, nobody has ever even suspected.' By comparison, Ino almost always used her cunning to minimize the presence of her rather large rack. Most would think her a C-cup at best, and Sakura couldn't even count the number of stores she'd seen start off by offering Ino that size... but the boar is hiding a set of breasts that require E-cup bras to hold them. Add in the pig's sizable rump and the difference in their figures couldn't be any more clear. In spite of every trick and tip known to medical ninjutsu for improving her figure, Sakura's own three measurements are still absolutely boyish. 'Well, that killed all the rage at least... but now I'm just depressed.' Needing something to do, Sakura picks herself off of her bed and picks up the latest in a long list of scrolls for jutsus that are supposed to have miraculous effects for improving a woman's figure.
As she reads it her mind turns to her other teammate. While Sasuke himself wasn't a shock to find acting cold toward her, Naruto had shown a crush on her which Sakura had thought would never end. For years she had been praying for the idiot to just give it up, and now that he had she found that she missed the attention and the confidence that it had given her to know that no matter what happened she could always rely on Naruto's affections. 'Never giving up was supposed to be your ninja way you useless idiot. And you almost had me too... After Hinata confessed during Pain's attack I felt so jealous that Naruto reacted to her so strongly. I couldn't believe that she drew that kind of raw emotion out of the man who had always followed me around like a puppy.' If Sakura were to be completely honest with herself, she had developed quite the crush on Naruto in return for his old one. His persistence, charm and kindness had changed her view of him more then it had effected anyone else's heart regarding the kuckleheaded ninja. But she had waited far too long, by the time she'd realized this she'd already lost the boy to Hinata... the shyest and most reserved woman in the entire village. 'Of course, she made some really good moves... For example, how on earth was I supposed to compete with that confession!?' Sakura finished the scroll she'd been reading and put it up in frustration, knowing another dead end when she sees one. She picked out another scroll from the stack, this one a B-rank medical ninjutsu. It easily had the highest rank among all the scrolls that she'd taken to look over this time, but she'd seen others at its rank or higher that were a bunch of lies. Still, it's worth a look over at the least.
As she starts to read she continues comparing herself with Hinata... a comparison that quickly grows even more frustrating then the comparison with Ino. Ino at least has to know how to make the most of her body to be considered one of the most beautiful women in Konoha, but Hinata could roll out of bed and beat Ino's very best effort. 'If Hinata were to take making herself beautiful as seriously as Ino does, forget Konoha, she'd be one of the most beautiful in the world.' From the pretty eyes to the shy smile to the F-cup... or bigger... breasts to the silky hair to the slender feet. It really doesn't matter, go ahead just pick a feature, and Hinata's got Ino beat hollow. It was sad enough trying to compare herself with Ino, but in terms of physical attractiveness, Sakura doesn't even belong in the same sentence. As the Hyuga princess that is now dating her Naruto. 'DAMN IT ALL!!!! Why won't anything actually work!? I just want to find a way to get at least some kind of curve going for myself. Is that really too much to ask!?'
While raging in her own mind, Sakura reaches out into the pile sitting beside her again, desperate for some kind of solution. What she finds as she pulls this blindly selected out of the pile gives her a considerable shock. The distinctive color and seal on this scroll indicate that she's holding an S-rank forbidden jutsu. She drops it as though she'd been bitten by a snake, confident that she didn't purchase anything like that. But still, it was in her pile, and all S-rank jutsu's are powerful. Even if it won't help her with her primary problem it'll be worth the effort of learning. As long as it's not a fake. But that part's easy to verify. If this is a real S-rank forbidden jutsu then it will have a chakura seal on it that will have to be undone. Wow, that was an impressive seal, Sakuta had never seen one that strong before. Alright, let's open this thing up and take a look. So, this is called the "Vore jutsu" is it? Interesting name.   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
