Seven days later, the Hokage's office.
"That snake got his hands on Neji and a wild Uchiha, eh?" muttered Tsunade to herself, lifting her eyes from the mission report in her hands and looking at Anko, Ino, Naruto and Sakura in turn. "That's… troublesome, to say the least. What in the world could he be planning…?"
Sensing Tsunade's gaze falling on her, Sakura straightened up and stood at attention. The sudden motion sent her chest bouncing like any large breasts would in an anime produced by Gainax— and it was only a few seconds later that the jiggling finally ceased.
"Sakura," said Tsunade, setting the document on her desk and steepling her fingers. "Anko's report mentions you referring to this UchihaNanashi's eyes as the Mangekyō Sharingan. The existence of those eyes is considered an S-rank classified secret among the top brass— did Sasuke tell you about them?"
Naturally, Sakura had had plenty of time to get her stories straight on the week-long journey back to the Hidden Leaf with her prisoners of war in tow: Isaribi and Amachi the sea monsters, as well as the two defectors, Tsurugi Misumi and Akadō Yoroi.
"He didn't," said Sakura smoothly. "I actually learned about the Mangekyō Sharingan a few days before meeting you for the first time, Milady. I'm sure you've heard from Lord Jiraiya about our encounter with Sasuke's older brother?"
Tsunade nodded.
"Right, then, I'm sealing the Kaima Capture Mission's records," she said after a moment's thought. "You are to tell no one of anything you've witnessed. Understood?"
"Understood!" replied Anko, Ino and Sakura.
Failing to hear a certain unruly boy's response, Ino and Sakura glanced in Naruto's direction.
"Sasuke needs to know," said Naruto defiantly. "That guy tries to look like he doesn't care about anything, but he's lonelier than anyone I've ever met, y'know."
At first, Naruto hadn't understood what had caused Sasuke to change so drastically back at the academy so long ago, but after travelling with him and getting to learn his story, he had come to understand his pain. As a fellow orphan, Naruto knew what it was like to be truly all alone in this world…
"Sasuke is the last person you should be telling this to!" snapped Tsunade. "It took a while, but he's finally calmed down after his encounter with Itachi, so I don't need you riling him up again and sending him on a wild goose chase after Orochimaru!"
It was impossible for someone to stay mad all the time, even Sasuke.
Sasuke knew where and when Itachi would next appear— he did have a clear goal to strive towards and a timeline to respect, so it's not as if he had lost sight of his vengeance, but unlike in the original timeline, he couldn't single-mindedly immerse himself in revenge.
He hadn't severed his ties with his teammates, and he still had to show up for work every day. If he ran from the village, he'd lose access to his training resources, which would only stunt his growth in the long run.
So, for lack of better teachers to follow, he was stuck enduring life as a Leaf shinobi… for now.
"I think… I think Naruto's right," said Sakura haltingly. "I think transparency's the best way to deal with—"
"Haruno Sakura, I am the Hokage!" Tsunade thundered, slamming her fist on her desk. "And what I say goes!"
'Tsunade!' shouted Inner Sakura. 'You'll regret this!'
But in reality, Sakura could only manage a terrified squeak in response. Lady Tsunade could get awfully scary when she was angered…
"Everyone but Sakura, you're dismissed," said Tsunade, sighing. "You too, Shizune."
Sometimes, Shizune and Tonton would get so still and quiet that they would practically blend into the décor. Sakura had barely noticed they were even there— so when they finally moved, it gave her quite a start! …Or maybe, Sakura was just nervous about having to face Tsunade alone, since she'd accidentally taken Ino's breasts, and was about to receive the tongue-lashing of her life…
A few moments later, everyone else had gone. Naruto shut the doors behind him with a bang that gave off a sense of finality, leaving Sakura alone with Tsunade in the Hokage's office…
"Come closer, Sakura," said Tsunade, beckoning for her to come over.
Trembling, Sakura approached the Hokage's desk. Why did she need to get so close? Was this… corporal punishment? Was she about to get her butt paddled!? That sounded kind of hot, now that she was thinking about it!
Tsunade rose from her seat and leaned forward, her robes shifting to reveal a valley of cavernous cleavage. Sakura's eyes automatically drifted downwards, her gaze attracted to the older woman's chest, as if she had a magnet sandwiched between her breasts.
"Don't move," said Tsunade softly, taking Sakura's chin between her thumb and forefinger and lifting it up gently.
'This isn't S&M play at all!' said Inner Sakura, sounding oddly disappointed.
Sakura gulped.
Tsunade's face was getting really close to hers, and she was gazing into her eyes rather intensely. Forced to look at Tsunade head on, Sakura's eyes shifted to the older woman's luscious, glistening lips...
Sakura's face turned as pink as the hair on her head, and her heart began beating a mile a minute. Wasn't this… that thing that happened after a kabedon, in romcoms? Was Tsunade-sama going to pin her to a wall, hold up her chin to force eye contact, and then steal a kiss off her lips…?
A thousand thoughts swirling at once through her fevered mind, Sakura closed her eyes and puckered her moist lips.
If Lady Tsunade wanted her body this much, then she would have no choice but to reluctantly submit, and allow her to take her everything, right there on the desk, like animals!
!!!
Kyaah, Tsunade-samaaaaa! My body is readyyyy!
...
Wait, did her breath stink? Couldn't she quickly run back home to brush her teeth? She'd eaten a lot of not-so-fresh fish over the last few days! A shower, she needed to shower too!
"Why are you closing your eyes, you stupid girl?" snapped Tsunade. "I need to look into your eyes to check if they're showing any signs of developing into Sharingan! You did steal this Nanashi girl's breasts, did you not?"
Sakura's eyes flew open, her cheeks turning a deeper shade of pink in shame.
"I don't see anything," muttered Tsunade, pinching Sakura's eyelids open and staring into her green eyes. "Do your eyes feel any different?"
"Well, my eyes did feel rather itchy the first few days," said Sakura, feeling rather uncomfortable in this position. "But it stopped after a while, so I think they were just irritated from all the salt water that got in them…"
Tsunade sighed and released Sakura's head.
"Tell me if anything changes," she said at last. "Dismissed."
