Chapter 39: Red Hot

Riku looked down at the huge trail of ink which completely ruined the seal he was working on. Never has he messed up a seal like that. Ever. There was a reason why the seal was completely messed up and that reason was none other than one Uzumaki Karin. To be more exact, her request.

“I’m sorry, what? Can you repeat that for me, please?” he said looking at the redhead.

“I said ‘I want you to use your Boob Expansion Jutsu on me’.”

“...So I heard that right. Why?”

“I don’t know, why would I want you to use a jutsu that makes breasts bigger on my own breasts?” was the answer dripping with sarcasm the dirty blonde got.

“Karin…” he began putting his brush down and turning to the side to face her. “You don’t need that Jutsu, your chest is-”

“SMALL! Between Ino and Hinata, I feel dwarfed!”

“Great, Karin. Your chest is great.”

“Does it matter? I want them bigger, so please make them bigger.”

“... Fine, I’ll do it but I swear if this is for some guy…”

“It’s not! I just… I want to feel part of the group you know? Tsunade, Hinata, Ino, even sensei has relatively big boobs.”

Riku sighed and passed his hand over his face. He stood up from his seat and invited her to follow him in his bedroom.

“Alright, first thing first? You’ll need to have your girls right in the open. No bra or anything restricting them.” he began and went to his closet to pull out one of his two large hoodies and gave it to her. “Second: It will take time. My control of the Iryoken is not perfect but I’m more than good enough at it so the cellular division will be faster but considering the growth you had… multiple use may be necessary or I would have to have my hands on you at all times to speed up the process a bit. I’m talking about hours, Karin. Are you sure-”

“It’s fine. It’s not like it’s anyone else doing it. It’s you.”

“If you say so. Third, you’re going to be tired and hungry for a while.”

“And?”

“And what?”

“Anything else?”

“No, that’s it.”

“Then get to it!”

He moved to the big mirror that Ino just ‘needed’ to have in his room for when she visited, picked it up and put it in front of the bed.  He sat on it in a lotus position and Karin, understanding what she needed to do, sat in his lap facing the mirror and showing him her back. She removed her shirt then her bra and stayed like this. The many bite marks on her body were barely visible anymore.

“You’re not going to put the hoodie on?”

“How am I going to see exactly if the size feels right if I’m wearing it?”

“Right.”

She took his hands from behind her and put them on her modest B-cup. RIku noticed they were Side Set ones. Since she was clearly ready he began to use his Iryoken on her.  It was a tedious task done in silence. He had to monitor the cells constantly to make sure that nothing would go wrong and Karin had to watch herself in the mirror constantly to be ready to tell him to stop.

After three hours, things became awkward. Riku could feel the change in size and weight with his bare hands. Karin’s boobs were now nearly as big as Ino and thinking of his girlfriend or with Karin, naked and with the same breasts made him react down there. Badly. There was no way his patient wasn’t aware of him having an erection since she was sitting on it. Neither of them said anything however.

One hour more and Karin asked him to stop which he did and he removed his hands.

“They look… perfect.” the redhead said, carrying her tits in the palm of her hands. “Look.”

She turned around without shame for Riku to witness their new size. He had to admit, they really looked good. Her nippled were thicker than long and her areolas were really small.

“They’re inverted, you know.”

“Hm?” was his intelligent reply as he raised his head to look her in the eye.

“My nipples. They’re the inverted type. They’re out now because your fucking log got me all hot!” she said with a bit of heat in her voice which confused Riku a bit.

“I’m so-...”

He was so confused that he didn’t react in time when Karin used her chains to tie him up, suppressing his chakra at the same time. In truth, he didn’t even notice because Karin had kissed him at the same time. Riku tried to pull back but the redhead pushed forward, not letting him go.

“Karin! What the hell?!” he shouted when she broke the kiss.

“I WAS SCARED!” she yelled.

“So you kissed me?!”

“What?! No! I kissed you because I love you, stupid! I was scared to lose you if we broke up! That’s why!... That’s why I turned you down, despite wanting to say yes. You were my best friend, the only one who truly accepted me fully in the village. Sure Ino was a great friend and Hinata and I, we were getting to know each other a lot better but Ino was friends with Sakura and they were closer and Hinata I got to know her through you and Ino. I only had you to really relate. I couldn’t lose that.” she confessed.

“...” He didn’t quite know what to say. He had been madly in love with her and in a way he still did love her. Now, hearing that things could have been different… “I’m not mad at your rejection. What I am mad about is that less than a week after it, you were already with some guy after telling me you didn’t have time for a relationship.”

“He meant nothing! He just… asked me out and I… changed my mind but only because I knew it wouldn’t last more than a few weeks. He was safe, I wouldn’t have cared if we separated and I didn’t when we did..”

“That’s the most ridiculous thinking I’ve ever heard, Karin.”

“Yeah?!” she exclaimed unhappily and pushed him down on his back against the mattress. “Guess what? I don’t care! Because it doesn’t matter!” she straddled him  and lowered herself down for another kiss.

“Wait! What about Ino?”

That made the redhead stop. What she was doing was forcing herself on her friend’s boyfriend. A friend she respected, trusted and loved and that she didn’t want to betray. At the same time to say she loved Riku very very much was an understatement. It has been love at first sight for her.

“Are you really the type of person who betrays their closest friends for their own gain?”

“... No. But it’s you… I… can’t not have you. Not be with you. I can’t do it anymore. It kills me to see you with her when I’m on the sideline.”

“You made it that way, Karin.”

“I KNOW!” she shouted and began to cry. “I know! B-but… What am I supposed to do?”

“A talk with Ino would be a good start. Releasing me would be another.”

She looked at him through her eyeglasses and tried to discern any ulterior motive. Not seeing any she removed her chains and let him free. He used his renewed freedom to embrace her and pull her down against his chest to give her some comfort.

“It’s going to be fine. I promise.” he said, letting his finger go through her red mane.

“I-If you lie, I’ll…”

“Do nothing, because I’m not lying. Now come on. No matter how much I love seeing you topless, new boobs or not, you can’t go out in public like this, so put something on and we’ll meet with Ino for that talk.”

Karin nodded weakly. She got off of him and simply put his hoodie on. Not like she had any other choice. Her own top was now too small and so was her bra. Riku’s shirts were all a thigh fit for him and with her new situation may look ridiculous on her. The hoodie was the best option and even then she had some difficulty closing the zipper.

“I’m ready.” was all she said and took Riku’s hand in hers as if she would get lost without him and his support.

They exited the manor and shushined through the village to reach the Yamanaka flower shop. Ino was there but so was her mother. Just when he was about to enter the shop a mission bird landed on his shoulder. Taking a deep breath, he pushed the shop’s door open and dragged Karin in.

“Hello~” he greeted and the two ladies in the shop turned towards him.

“Welcome!” Ino’s mom said with a knowing smile while her daughter put down the flower she had in hands and went to kiss her boyfriend. The kiss was just a peck however and she frowned at that.

“Sorry, but I just received a summon. Any more and I won’t be able to answer it.” he replied apologetically. “Karin and you need to have a talk. Having Hinata present should be better.”

Ino looked behind Riku to see her redhead friend with her boyfriend hoodie. The huge bulge in the chest area nearly made her eyes pop out of their orbits.

“I don’t get why but I may have an idea. Stay safe, okay?” She added the last part looking from Karin to him.

“I will.”

He waved goodbye to the total milf that was Yamanaka Noriko and left the shop in a hurry but not before giving a confident smile to Karin.

Making his way with haste to the Hokage Tower, he was for once not the first to arrive in front of his sensei. Yugao was already present.

“You called, sensei?”

“I did. I need Team Yukari to go to the Land of Iron. The kazekage is insisting on a Kage summit and while I do agree, I don’t hold any hope of the other villages responding. Even if they do, I don’t believe we would come to an understanding regarding Akatsuki. Not even a simple sharing of information. Now, why I sent you there is to meet the leader of the Lands of the Samurai: Mifune. To warn him of a potential attack from Akatsuki at the summit.”

“Why would they? Apart from sowing chaos among the villages by killing the kage and making it easier for them to capture the jinchuriki, I don’t see any advantage in attacking during the summit.” asked Riku.

“It’s just in case. I doubt they will but they lost three of their members thanks to Team Yukari and it’s not easy to find and then recruit S-rank nuke-nin. That, and their relative anonymity would disappear with the summit. Regardless, Team Yukari is going.” Tsunade said with finality and tossed him a scroll. “Everything about Akatsuki that we know about is in there. It’s for Mifune.”

Riku knew he was dismissed and left with Yugao.

“Any idea where he is?”

“There was a sale for the new Icha Icha today.” the purple haired kunoichi replied as if she was talking about the weather. That threw Riku out of a loop.

“And how do you know that, Yugao-chan? Would you happen to be a fan?”

“Not particularly, no. I did buy a few out of curiosity but I don’t really see the appeal, the writing is not that great in my opinion.” she answered with a shrug of her shoulders.

“You know… I made a vibrating toy for Shizune-senpai, if you need-”

“No, thank you.”

With such a curt reply, Riku didn’t insist further on talking about this particular topic. Instead he switched to the samurais. As a swordswoman herself, he was curious to hear her opinion about them and her expectations for when they were in the Land of Iron. Any answer would have to wait for a later time because Kakashi shushined in right in front of them.

“Yo!” He greeted with a two finger salute and an eye smile.

“You’re late taicho, so you don’t get to lead.”

“Mah~ That’s fine.” he answered, pulling out the new version of Icha Icha from his back pouch. “What’s the mission?”

“We’re going to the Land of Iron to meet their boss and deliver a scroll on Akatsuki. Preemptive measure against them in case of a kage summit.”

The silver haired jonin nodded and began to walk alongside his teammates.

“So? Any new seals since our last mission?” the man asked, reading his book.

Riku raised an eyebrow at Kakashi's sudden interest in his creation. Even Yugao was disturbed by this unusual behavior and looked at the pervert from the corner of her eyes.

“Nope. I’m too busy finishing my version of the Hiraishin.”

That not only caught Kakashi’s attention, that made him lower his book.

“You’re working on the Hiraishin?”

“Yes. Sensei gave me her uncle’s and the Yondaime’s notes for it three months back.”

“And did you say ‘finishing’? As in, you’re almost done with it?”

“Yeah. It wasn’t that difficult in truth. The hardest part was to stop myself bashing my head against a wall once I understood the theory behind their way of making it work and their means to do so.”

“Why?” Yugao inquired.

“Because they’re retards, that’s why. Those idiots… They got half the space-time theory wrong and used moronics ways to make it work. Somehow everything got balanced weirdly and worked but in such an inefficient way that it’s not even funny. Now I can give a small pass to the Nidaime, after all he started from scratch, but the Yondaime? He piled his own mistakes on the Nidaime’s mistakes and for such bad returns.”

Kakashi wanted to say something to defend his sensei’s name on principle. Unfortunately he was pants at seals and Riku could manipulate Time, so whatever he said would be meaningless. It blew his mind that both men, considered to be complete prodigies, were seen as idiots by someone not even twenty years old.

‘Sensei had to study the Nidaime’s notes for years before he succeeded in creating his own version of the Hiraishin and he had Kushina and Uzumaki fuinjutsu scrolls to help.’

As usual they entered the Botib before leaving to gear up for the mission they left through the North gate. They took their time to travel, roughly a week of trees hoping to reach the border with the Land of Iron and one week more to reach the capital of the country. Since samurais didn’t like ninjas much, they travelled on the road at normal speed. After multiple checks of them and of their diplomatic documents they finally were able to Mifune. In Riku’s opinion, the man was what a samurai should be, the embodiment of discipline. Despite his strict politeness the man gave them a warm greeting or so Riku thought. After giving him Tsunade’s scroll, they waited for him to read every single document contained inside.

“Hm…I’m not sure I like the idea of my country being used as bait to set a trap.”

“It’s more of a precaution than anything. The land of Iron has always been neutral and its neutrality is the perfect place for a summit, unfortunately it also offers the perfect opportunity for an organization hostile to everyone gathered to strike.” said Kakashi.

“It’s not even sure the other villages would respond to the invitation to such a summit. As my teammate said, it’s more of a precaution than anything. It would be discourteous to not warn you of the possibility of the danger involved should you host the summit. Just because the relationship between our nations is neutral doesn’t mean it can’t be polite, cordial and honest.” Riku added.

“That was well spoken and true.” the samurai replied then after a moment of deep reflection, gave Team Yukari an answer. “I will consent to host a Kage summit should one happen and the security will be tightened for the occasion. As for this… Akatsuki… I’m afraid I can’t really help you with them regarding information. My country is rather isolationist and we don’t use mercenaries. We will be keeping our ears opened however. Many samurai travel the world to train and often hear things here and there.”

The team thanked the country leader for his understanding and cooperation then took their leave but not before Yugao could request a spar. Internally, Riku knew it would end that way.
