Ero no Kuni
Like many times before, Sakura stood before the desk of the Hokage after Tsunade had summoned her here. But she was unaware that today, Tsunade had not called for her to do some extra training or run some errands for her...
"An A-rank mission?", she asked, her eyes blinking a bit as she wondered if she had just heard her teacher right.
"Exactly.", Tsunade nodded after her student had parroted her. Opening the drawer to her left, she pulled out the bingo book, the book that had all nukenin listed in it, ninja that had betrayed and deserted their village and had thus become rogue ninja to be hunted down for a bounty. Opening it to a specific page, Tsunade showed the entry to Sakura. "This man is an A-ranked fugitive. He remained inactive for a long time but sources have told us he has started some operations in the neighboring Grass Country.", she said as she handed the book over to Sakura.
"He is a former ninja of Otogakure, Orochimarus village. We can't allow him to operate freely, so I've decided to task you with finding and capturing him.", Tsunade said to her apprentice, the mission clear.
Sakura took a moment to study the entry on the man. It had few informations but at least a picture of him so she knew who she was looking for. But there was something odd about this and she couldn't help but ask Tsunade about it. "But Tsunade-sama, aren't A-rank missions supposed to be carried out by a three-man cell?", she pointed out. Even though she was the Hokages apprentice, she was merely a chunin. An A-ranked nukenin was at least on par with a Jounin in strength.
"Normally you'd be right, Sakura. But this mission is special. As I said, you will have to look for him in Kusa no Kuni, the Grass Country. While we're not at war with them, they have their own ninja village and if they learn that Konoha is pursuing individuals in their country, it could lead to political disputes. That is why it is necessary that this mission remains as covert as possible and one ninja is less visible than three travelling together.", the blond Hokage explained.
Sakura nodded. It made sense of course. Especially as the apprentice of Tsunade, she could not afford to draw attention to herself and cause any problems for Konoha.
"That is why I am sending you. I fully trust you to carry out this mission without fail, Sakura.", Tsunade looked at Sakura as she said that, her hands folded in front of her.
"Of course, Tsunade-sama.", Sakura answered and with this, she was dismissed. As she turned to leave the room to rush home and pack her things to set out immediately, she grinned to herself. The praise she had received pleased her and it also made her willingly accept the things Tsunade had told her. She trusted her Hokage, but even she might have found something odd about this mission... yet she chose not to bother too much with it and so, not even an hour later, she departed from Konoha...
Kusa no Kuni was a small nation just north of Hi no Kuni, the Fire Country that was home to Konoha. They had a hidden village, but it was not as powerful as Konoha. Still, a diplomatic incident was best avoided, so Sakura did not travel through the woods by way of chakra-enhanced speed, but used the roads. The woods in this country were dense, the trees huge so any traveller was best advised to use the roads and they all led to a town that was Sakuras first stop. There, she intended to gather intelligence to try and track down the nukenin.
Arriving in the evening, Sakura decided to rent a cheap room for the night. Unfortunately, most inns were inexplicably fully booked. Apparently, some kind of event was taking place that forced her to wander into the seedier part of the town where she finally was given a room to stay. The inn keeper gave her the creeps with his toothy grin as this young woman checked in, but she was a kunoichi. And not just any kunoichi. She could defend herself, she was positive of that.
The lights outside were shining in the room, who was what one would expect for the meager amount Sakura paid, but at least it was clean enough. From the outside, sounds came in, laughter from women who were obviously prostituting themselves. Sakura felt bile rise in her throat, how could any woman with self-respect lower herself to doing these things for money?
Just as she wanted to go to bed though, Sakura heard something that grabbed her attention. "Come in, let the kunoichi of Ero no Kuni take care of you, you won't regret it.", she heard a voice, no doubt a whore trying attract customers. But the way she advertised her brothel as well as the voice... Sakura just had to look. Walking over to the window, Sakura peered into the street below. There, in front of an inconspicuous building, she saw two women standing, in scantily-clad clothes that could only be described as perversions of what a kunoichi would wear. They were handing out fliers and sweet talking passing men, enticing them with promises of pleasure and fun...
But what disturbed Sakura the most was that she thought she recognized them. One was blond and the other was a brunette and both had rather distinctive hair styles... it couldn't be? The blonde had four pigtails while the brunette had her hair done into two hairbuns... just like Temari and Tenten. Looking closer, Sakura was shocked to see some resemblance in their faces too, but their bodies... no way. She would remember if the two would have had breasts that would easily rival Tsunade.
This was too bizarre... for now, her mission could wait, Sakura had to investigate this. As she rushed downstairs, her mind was racing along with her feet. What had she seen? Were those really Tenten and Temari or just fakes? If the latter, she would make whoever ran that brothel pay for using their likeness and the good name of kunoichi to run their business. But, if it really turned out to be them... she didn't even want to consider that at the moment.
But when Sakura stepped outside, Tenten and Temari had disappeared. Sakura looked up and down the street, but they were nowhere in sight. The door to the brothel was wide open, the name 'Ero no Kuni' mockingly sitting over the entrance, but she knew better than to barge in. Determined now to find out what was going on, Sakura rushed to the alley next to it and leapt onto the building, finding an entrance from the roof that got her into the building.
Inside, she was not surprised find some rather dimly lit hallways, but was fortunate enough that there was nobody around. As she snuck around though, not quite knowing what she was hoping to find exactly, more noises came to her trained ears. Sakura strained to listen and to follow them to the source as she heard two voices, one male and one female... and she felt like she had been punched into the gut as she made out what was being said.
"You're the greatest, Ino-Ino... you're really worth every single ryou I paid for you.", the male voice said.
Then, Sakura made out noises that sounded like slurping before there was a giggle coming from inside the room she was closing in on. "Thank you so much, I appreciate your patronage.", the woman responded.
As Sakura approached the room, she peeked inside, the door only having a carpet instead of a door. Inside was a simple chair on which a naked, grossly overweight and naked old man was sitting, his legs spread and in between them she could see a blond head with a ponytail moving up and down in time with the lewd slurping noises she had heard.
Sakuras gasped quietly. Ino-Ino? And that hair...? It felt like her heart was beating all the way up her dry throat as Sakura heard the girl talk again, only briefly interrupting her blowjob. "Tomorrow night will be the first time my womb is for sale, I'd love to have you win me so I'll have your child...", she said something so outrageous so matter-of-factly, like she was advertising a special bonus offer in any other store. In a way, she was.
The man chuckled while rubbing his chin. "Tempting... we'll see, for now get on my cock, you slut.", he ordered her.
"As you wish...", she said demurely and climbed on the lap of the man. Sakura averted her eyes just before his cock disappeared inside of her, but she heard the moans from Ino, how she praised the mans dick and the sounds their intimate joining made.
Sakuras head was spinning. Could this be real? Was this really her old friend and rival? Or an impostor? Why would it be an impostor? Come to think of it, Ino had been away on a mission for a while, but when Sakura asked her what it was, Ino had refused to divulge any details, simply telling her it was secret. Could this...
Before her mind raced any further towards figuring out what was going on here, Sakura stood and took a small step backwards, she bumped into someone standing behind her. Gasping, she spun around to face a familiar face. Dark blue hair, milky white eyes, courtesy of her bloodlie and an unnerving smile as Hinata looked Sakura straight in the eyes. "Hello, Sakura-san... you've been expected.", she greeted her fellow kunoichi in a way that was far too casual for this bizarre situation.
What was even more unusual was her attire. Gone was the trenchcoat that hid the busty physique of Hinata. Now, all she had on was a catsuit made of netweave that hid absolutely nothing. Sakura found her eyes dropping for a heartbeat to see that Hinatas nipples were erect and her crotch shaven... but what caught her eyes the most was the forehead protector of the girl. Like she used to, Hinata had hers tied around her neck, but instead of the sign of Konoha, she bore a new symbol there, an odd cross between the feminity symbol and a heart.
Sakuras head was spinning, but before she could ask Hinata the questions that were burning in her mind, Hinata took advantage of the many openings Sakura had. Her hands surrounded in blue chakra, the Hyuuga heiress slammed her palms into Sakuras stomach and shoulder, causing Sakura to crumple to the floor almost immediately. The Gentle Fist style of the Hyuuga had incapacitated her and as her world faded to black, all she could manage was a whisper of surprise.
"Hi-..na-..."
"She's awake, Erokage-sama."
The soft voice that had spoken these words would normally soothe Sakura since she knew that it belonged to a kind-hearted friend of hers, but now, it startled her awake. Her eyes fluttered open and the first thing she noticed was that her body was completely limp, likely thanks to Hinata blocking her chakra points and more. She could feel the cool ground underneath her and it didn't take her long to figure out that it meant she had been stripped and was now naked.
As she struggled to regain her vision, she heard a mans voice answer Hinata. "Thank you, Hina-Hina. Start fixating her.", he ordered her and now that she came closer, Sakura could see Hinata close to her, still wearing nothing but fishnet and that odd forehead protect. She became dimly aware of her surroundings, it seemed like she was in a small, round chamber of glass, sitting on the bottom of it. Hinata took hold of her ankle and fastened a cuff around it, then proceeded to do the same to the other. Unaware to move her limbs, all Sakura could do was watch her, but the coolness of the metal startled her other senses back to full capacity.
Now, some distance behind Hinata, she saw a man standing there, wearing a coat and smiling at her. "Hello there, Haruno-san. Nice of you to join us...", he greeted her jovially.
Sakuras eyes widened. It was him! The rogue ninja she was sent to capture. "You... you're... how do you know my name?", she asked the first thing coming to her mind which was still a bit rattled from the events of the past... hour? She wasn't sure how long she had been out.
The man chuckled at her question. "You probably know the name from the bingo book, but I'd prefer you call me 'Erokage'. And I know your name because I've been expecting you. I'd be a poor host if I would not know the names of my guests.", he said, obviously feeling some kind of pride because of his odd sense of manners.
Sakura couldn't move her head, but what she saw was unsettling to say the least. While Hinata worked to bind her ankles to the bottom of the chamber she was in, Sakura had the chance to examine the scene. The room she was in was a large and well-lit room, a stark contrast from the brothel... where was she? Was this somewhere else entirely or had this been in the brothel somewhere? "What do you mean by that?", she asked, trying to keep him talking. She didn't like this one bit, but she knew she may be able to get some information out of him.
The man shook his head and looked disappointed. "Oh, don't tell me you can't figure it out, Haruno-san. You've been described to me as a most intelligent young kunoichi. Shame about that, really...", he sighed.
He didn't appear to be making sense to Sakura, but as Hinata pulled her upright and let her rest against her to remain standing unsteadily, a more urgent question occured to Sakura. "These girls I've seen... who are they?", she asked. This girl before her... was it really...?
"They are exactly who you fear them to be. The one you were spying on before Hina-Hina here came to collect you was Yamanaka Ino before she joined Ero no Kuni. And the two I used to bait you inside were indeed Temari of the Desert and Konohas Tenten.", he said, obviously enjoying telling Sakura this as he was grinning widely at her.
As Sakura leaned against Hinata, the girl took her arms by the wrist and move them up to be fixated over her head, one by the one. The pink-headed girl meanwhile was breathing rapidly as the man claimed that these perverted shadows of her friends were indeed the real ones. "Bait me inside? You've been expecting me, why?", she nevertheless asked on.
"I don't owe you an answer, but the reactions I get are usually worth it, so I'll tell you.", the man said with a sinister smile. "You see, the daimyo have given me the mission to put kunoichi to a better use than killing tools. It is a simple deal, really... they provide me with the raw materials and I turn you girls into more valuable toys than you could ever be as kunoichi.", Erokage told Sakura.
And that was when Sakuras emotions got the better of her, just when Hinata got done with fixating her. Her limbs were still numb, but that kept her in an upright position without need support. "That's despicable. You're scum! And Tsunade-sama would never agree to this.", she yelled at the man. His preposterous claims were nothing but lies, they had to be.
But the man simply shook his head. "Then why are you here, Haruno-san? Why were you given this mission? From the way you interacted with your former friends, I take it you were not informed that it was the same mission given to them mere weeks before you yourself were sent out to 'apprehend' me?", he said calmly.
Sakura gasped. "No... NO! That can't be, it's a lie!", she screamed. Tsunade would never set them up for... something like this!
As Hinata moved away from Sakura to walk out of her field of vision, the man still looked intently and with amusement at Sakura, obviously enjoying her distress. "I assure you, it is not. You can try and deceive yourself if you want to, but the truth is that the Hokage had no choice in the matter. None of the Kage did. The Kazekage even had to sent his sister after me, as a token of deference. And just like him, the daimyo made the Hokage send her most treasured apprentice here.", he said with a toothy grin at Sakura. "Come to think of it, the Hokage had to pay the highest price so far. The heiresses of the Hyuuga-clan and the Yamanakas and now, her best student. Aside from other gifted kunoichi.", he pondered aloud to himself as Hinata approached Sakura again.
As Hinata moved her head to the side to fasten an earpiece to her head, Sakura became aware that she was not alone in this fate. To her side, there were at least a dozen more tubes, only a few empty and the others filled with girls she recognized from other villages. They were all floating in a transparent light blue liquid, their faces covered with a mask, and their crotch engulfed by some mechanical contraption. Their breasts were at varying sizes and considering that all of her former friends had rather large breasts now, Sakura figured that was an indication of how long they had been in these things already. She saw the same thing as Hinata moved her head to the other side.
Of course Erokage knew that Sakura had now seen her own future. "Marvelous, isn't it? I was an assistant to Kabuto during my time serving Orochimaru. The technology was rudimentary when I left, but when I presented it to the daimyo, they were more than happy to supply me with everything I needed to complete the project Orochimaru had started.", he revealed. All that he said so casually as he had basically turned these kunoichi into sex slaves without any guilt whatsoever.
"Don't worry, it won't hurt at all. In fact, you'll enjoy it. Your body will be remodelled to be suited for your new purpose and your demeanor will be made more... agreeable as well. It will take around a week or so, but afterwards, you'll never even want to go back, trust me.", he told her.
It was at this point that Sakuras limbs slowly responded to her will again and, although weakly, she began to pull against her restraints. Erokage merely chuckled. "It's no use struggling. You clearly lacked the strength to even save yourself. If you had been strong enough to overcome the cycles of war with your strength alone, you would not be in this position in the first place.", he taunted her, although at least partially, he seemed convinved of the righteousness of his actions. "But you failed. And this is the reason why you are here now, why your friends are here now. This is all to create peace. To make sure that the world isn't divided by violence, but united by pleasure. And you will aid in that vital undertaking.", he said.
Now, Hinata moved to fit the same contraption that was around the waists of the other kunoichi in the tubes around Sakura, having little trouble doing so with the only weak resistance Sakura could offer at this point. "You should feel honored. Maybe you do. Whatever the case, you won't care either way once you've completed your transformation, Haruno-san. Hmm... maybe I should start using your new name, Saku-Saku... or maybe Sa-Sa will be snappier...", he wondered to himself again.
But Sakura shook her head, both to refuse him and try to stop Hinata from fitting some sort of visor over her eyes. It failed and as her vision was taken from her again, all that Sakura was left with was to scream. "NO! I'll never become a mindless pet for you!", she yelled, but whether she tried to convince him or herself with that was not clear.
Erokage wasn't impressed at all. "Brave words... but I've heard them too often at this point to take them seriously. All your friends said something along those lines but in the end, you see what became of them. Now, Sa-Sa... take your place and just relax. Or don't, whatever you do, it won't matter at this point anymore...", he told her.
Still thrashing her head around, Hinata had some problems completing the procedure and fastening a mask over Sakuras nose and mouth that would serve to keep her alive in the tube and well-fed. Her soft hands were trying to steady Sakura, but the Hokages apprentice wouldn't have any of it. "Hinata... Hinata, snap out of it. You don't want to do this. Remember... remember Konoha. You're a kunoichi of the leaf!", she tried to reach out to her friend, to try and bring her back to her senses.
"You're wrong, Haruno-san... I am a servant of Erokage-sama. And soon, you will be too. I look forward to you staying with us from now on.", was all that Hinata said before she summarily pushed two fingers into the side of Sakuras head that made it drop forwards and thus allowed Hinata to finish the process. That done, Sakura was left in the darkness, blinded and mute as she could barely hear the tube shutting and the next thing she felt was a warm goop rising from the bottom of the tube she was in, no doubt the same liquid everyone else was in. It was prickling on her skin as it rose and Sakura sobbed in her mask as she realized that her fate was sealed... it had been ever since she so eagerly accepted Tsunade's mission.
Over the course of the next week, Sakura was subjected to the same treatment that Tenten, Temari, Ino, Hinata and many other kunoichi had undergone. Inside the tube, the liquid removed all blemishes, all imperfections from her skin while also causing her breasts to swell up to the same size that most other kunoichi working in Ero no Kuni had. Her ears and eyes were nearly constantly bombarded with noises and flickering and even though she tried to close her eyes, eventually they tired and she was unable to stop looking...
Somewhere along the line, Haruno Sakura stopped existing and simply went over to become Sa-Sa... a good little whore working for Ero no Kuni. All that she needed to know was given to her and all that was unneccessary was taken from her until, after what might as well have been an eternity, the liquid receeded from the tube.
As piece by piece, the fixtures were removed and like it was over a week ago, she was slumped on the ground of her tube, blinking to try and see. But now, her chest was huge and tingling pleasantly, as was her pussy and that sensation only increased as she looked up to see the man she had been sent to capture standing a few feet in front of her tube. Around him, on their knees, looking adoringly up at him, were her friends, Tenten, Temari, Hinata and Ino. "Now, Sa-Sa... why don't you crawl over here and join your friends?", Erokage asked and gestured for Sakura.... no, for Sa-Sa to enter her new life.
And that was all Sa-Sa wanted to do. Her old life was forgotten. Konoha, Tsunade, Sasuke... Naruto... these names all held no meaning anymore to her. Only one thing was important anymore. "Yes... Erokage-sama...", she answered dreamily. Obedience... and pleasure... her life would be filled with that from now on, Sa-Sa knew as she crawled towards her master...
