The hidden leaf village was always warm, even in the normally cold parts of the year. Sasuke was calmly sitting on the roof of Naruto's usual Ramen shop, deep in thought.
Up above, in the distant trees of Konoha Forest, stood a black cloaked man, looking down over the village. "Good to be home... Not really" he said quietly as he scanned through the village, looking for his latest subject, a boy with powerful eyes... He then spotted him, jumping down and going from roof to roof.
Sasuke was considering going to see Sakura or possibly working on a few things as he leapt through town, walking calmly on the ledges of various buildings. He continuously stared down at the world below, the small ant-like figures milling around carelessly as he debated his mission to kill Itachi against enjoying some time with Sakura.
He jumped a few more ledges and landed quietly behind him, following him on his walk.
Turning slowly, Sasuke effortlessly brought up an intimidating evil eye, "You want something?"
"Oh me?" he asked, stopping and looking at him. "Oh, nothing. Just you. Now, if you will follow me, I will lead you to your holding spot" he said, gesturing him to follow.
"Sorry," he said aloofly, turning back to continue on, while still keeping aware of his opponent, "I have a date to keep."
"Well, you may want to cancel it. Now, stop before I kill you" he said
Closing his eyes tight, Sasuke opened them again, revealing his red Sharingan, "Bring it."
"Heh. So? They are just red now, and can see things faster then usual. No big whoop" he said, jumping to a clearing in the woods
Sasuke seemed to phase into existence directly in front of him, "There's more to it then that."
"Well then, why don't you show me?" he said, calmly crossing his arms in front of him
Narrowing his clan's sacred eyes, Sasuke drew out two stars, placing them between his fingers and dashing in for the kill.
He got into a fighting stance before running forward, taking a needle in each hand
Sharingan leading him, Sasuke leapt to the least vunerable point of space, and let his stars fly in the path most likely to make contact...
Sayotoki watched closely and moved the needles, the weapons colliding and flying to the side
"Well then, are you ready to fight, hand to hand?" he asked, his hands starting to glow
He smirked, "Sure."
Using the old standard "borrowed" from Rock Lee, Sasuke phasing right below his opponent, preparing to deliver a hard kick to his chin....
He grabbed his foot, instead lifting him up and sending him flying in the air. "Don't use that old trick on me" he said, putting his hands together and powering up
Turning wildly in mid-air, Sasuke tried to right himself....
He kneeled down and jumped to his height, thrusting his glowing hand into his stomach, before grabbing his shirt and throwing him down to the ground.
Sasuke tried to raise his head, feeling a stiffening sensation pumping through his spine. It was getting hard to move...
He smiled, landing lightly. "Heheh... I see you are feeling the effects of my special chakura... You see, through a bit of experimentation on my own part... I have made some special techniques..."
"Go....to... hell..." he managed to growl out, sitting up with his elbows...
"Been there, sorry... Now, you may want to clean up..." he said, smiling wider
Sasuke, joints feeling like bone on bone, got slowly to his feet, reaching for another star...
"What are you trying to do now? I don't want to have to cause you more embarassment" he said, pointing to his shorts
Straining his neck, Sasuke followed the stranger's finger down, only for his blackened eyes to widen. His white pants were rapidly becoming a dark grey from a damp spot expanding from between his legs...
"What... the... hell...?"
"My hands are special... With a simple touch, I can focus my energy to take an object and regress it back in time" he said, smiling. "When I hit your stomach, I focused on your bladder..."
Feeling the warm liquid going down into his shoes, Sasuke took a step forward, "You... dick."
"Are you sure you want to continue this?" he asked, powering up his hands again
"Never give up without a fight..."
"Alright then... Have at you" he said, getting into a fighting stance
Sasuke began to force his legs foward, quickly going into an unbalanced run of tough momentum.
"Too easy" he said, leaning down deep and thrusting his palms into his thighs, causing the strength to leave his legs
"ARGH, SHIT!" he cried, falling to the ground. He turned over onto his side, looking at his legs. They didn't seem paralized anymore but... he tried moving them only to get them to flop limply and wildly....
He smiled, reaching down and grabbing his throat. "Now for your voice box... while going for your vocabulary" he said, using the other to touch a specific place on his head
Sasuke growled, barely having it escape his throat. He pulled out a star, holding it to his enemy's neck...
His smile never left, as he let go of him, reacing down and licking the tip of the star. "Ah... the sweet taste of blood... I think your torture should come to an end..." he said, putting his hands together.
"Big meanie! You..." Wait, what was wrong with his voice?
He puts his hands to the ground, a dome of light surrounding Sasuke. "Now... are you ready to relive life?"
"NO!" He shouted, squirming in his captors grip. "Ka-ka come help, he..."
All around him, tentacles of light came out of the dome, connecting to him, as a sucking feeling came from inside his body.
It was like.... he was compressing. The ground was getting further away.... The grip around his throat was becoming more gentle...
He watched as Sasuke slowly started going in reverse in the growing process, waiting for the precise moment to start.
Sasuke screamed, voice twisting and turning in his throat, altering in pitch, tone, and urgency.... His knees buckled, his muscles ached....
"Yes... give me your power, your energy, your chakra... Give me... Your age" he said, lauging evily.
"A...a...Age?" he sputtered out, voice raising with each syllable.
"Yes... your age... I want it all" he said, putting his hands to the dome and powering it to full max.
Sasuke finally lost balance and fell onto his back, wet pants flying off, belt-line too long for his waist. He kicked his feet, the soaked fabric bouncing off his legs.
"Yes... all the way back to infancy..." he said, closing his eyes as the energy entered his body.
Sasuke felt something rising in his throat. He opened his mouth, and a baby's cry came pounding out.
He smiled, closing the dome and walked over, picking the naked infant out of the clothing. "Heh... Look at how things have turned out..."
Sasuke kept crying. He felt dizzy, confused, and actually very tired. He had no idea what was going on...
As he held him there, chakra weaved around him before stopping showing a blue sleeper. "And I have made sure to give you a double thick diaper" he said, holding him in one arm as he picked up his shorts... seeing a peice of paper fall out of the pocket. "What is this?" he asked, picking up the paper... to reveal a picture.
Sasuke's crying slowly stopped. He felt really warm and cared for in his sleeper. He opened and closed his mittened hands and reached down to feel the extra-thick diaper on his bottom. He felt like he wanted to cry again, but too tired to think he just put his head on the stranger's shoulder and fell asleep.
"Heh... Well, you will have company soon" he said, as a woman appeared next to him. "Here Aya, take the boy. I am out for more" he said, handing her to him before jumping off
Sasuke's lips kept moving, as though they wanted something. Aya put in a pacifier and all was well.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
Sayo jumped through the village, looking at the picture for either of the people that showed up first
It was then that Sakura, grin practically ripping her skin apart, emerged from Ino's flower shop. There was a white rose in her hands, just waiting to be handed to Sasuke. She twirled around as she walked up the street, feeling lighter then air.
He smiled, landing on a roof and looking down at her, wondering where she was heading.
Sakura continued happily down the street, cutting down a back alley toward Sasuke's place. The street noise died away.
He smiled widely, landing on a roof of one of the buildings and putting his hands to the wall, letting the chakra form a wall, casing her in
She rose the flowers to her nose and inhaled deeply when she bumped against the newly-formed wall. Rubbing her forehead, she looked at the spot that stopped her. She rose a finger to touch it....
What she felt was cold, hard concrete, raising up several stories into the air
Narrowing her eyes and reaching for her holdster, she turned to look back down the alley, "Who's there? Show yourself!"
"Look up, little missy" he yelled down, walking along the edge of the wall
"What do you want?" she said, pulling out a star and going into a fighting stance.
"I want you, my darling" he said, taking a step forward and dropping down, landing in front of her
Startled, she took a step back, "Wha... what kind of sicko are you?"
"Sicko? Probably. But it might be saying too much that I want you. I actually want your energy" he said, leaning on the wall
She smirked, digging her feet into the ground and rooting her stance, "Come and get it, then."
"A lowly genin, fresh out of the acadamy, versus a Class S criminal? Well then... if you think you can defeat me, then try" he said, not moving an inch from his position.
She blinked again, "S Class...." she considered trying to get over the wall and getting help, but he'd surely nail her on the way up... No, she needed to collect her thoughts and figure out an intelligent way to get word to Kakashi or someone....
"You are considering help, I am guessing. If that is the case, then I think this will help" he said, moving from his position and quickly scaling the wall, getting to the top before doing several hand signs and touching the edge, creating a transparent layer above them.
Watching it form, her eyes widened. She needed to do something, find Naruto, Sasuke, Kakashi, someone... figuring she might as well distract him, she threw out her stars....
As he fellback to earth, he did several elegant twists before landing, looking at her. "Stars is all you could think of?" he asked, slowly pacing forward.
"How about THIS?" She began her hand signals, and an instant later was surrounded by shadow clones, packing around the alley's narrow space...
"Hm... Interesting development... Well then, there is only one strategy for this" he said, putting his hand into his cloak, and taking out a single kunai.
"No chance, lamo!" cried a half-dozen voices, leaping into the air and moving in for the kill as blurs of red and pink.
As they dove in, he smirked, and started wildly slashin in all directions, hitting anything that came close
POOF! POOF! POOF!
The clones were gone in puffs of white. Finally, Sakura was nailed, cut across the chest and leaving drops of blood onto the cold concrete as she fell to her knees. The remaining clones vanished into nothingness.
"I see I found some meat" he said, walking forward and grabbing her by the collar, lifting her to eye level. "Now, little girl, I think it is time you listen to what I say"
"Listen to this."
She thrust her foot forward, aiming right between the man's legs. He winced, but grit his teeth and looked at her, taking his other hand and slapping her across the face, letting go with the hand he was holding on with.
She fell to the ground, cheek turning red and stinging like the dickins. Turning away from her opponent, she began hand motions for a substitution jutsu.
"Oh no you don't!" he said, quickly moving over and stepping on her hands
She screamed. She screamed as loud as she possibly could, hoping that it would somehow puncture the concrete walls surrounding them. What did this guy want? What did she have to offer?
He lifted his foot, reaching down and bring her to her feet. "Now, if you will not do anything... I would like to ask you a few things" he said
"S....screw you...My friends'll be here soon... I-I was about to meet with my tea... my teacher..." She wheezed out, tears in her eyes as she tried to take the pain of her mangled hands....
He moved forward and took her hands into his, encasing them in both of his as they lit up with chakra. When he removed them, they were healed. "Now, will you answer a few questions?" he asked, taking out the picture
Her sobbing stopped quite suddenly. Cheeks still wet and shiney, she looked at her hands... they were perfect how could... "What do you want from me?" she demanded, looking back up at her enemy.
"I want your energy, your life force, to be honest. I have already taken it form one of your team mates" he said, holding up the pictures. "The dark haired boy was no problem for me" he said, ripping him out of the picture.
"Sa...Sasuke?" Her face became hard, and she dashed forward, grabbing her much-taller opponent by the collar, "What did you do to him?"
"Let us just say that he is not dead, just no longer able to... function properly" he said, looking down at her. "What do you plan to do now?"
The fact that if this guy could beat Sasuke he had a great chance of beating her didn't register in her mind. She just reared her fist back in anger, "I plan to hurt you until you tell me where you're keeping him."
"Alright then, punch me" he said, not making any type of defensive maneuver.
Not waiting for another go-ahead, she threw her fist toward his nose.
He barely flinched, his face moving back a few inches. "Alright then, my turn" he said, moving his arm back, and hitting her on the stumach with a chakra powered fist.
"Uhhhh..." She keeled over, rubbing her aching tummy with both hands. The punch seemed to blow right through her intestines, ramming hard into her back and zipping up her spine. Her legs gave way under her.
"Heh. Pretty strong, no? Try and walk" he said.
Pulling up her legs as hard as she could, she managed to get into a squatting position. With a thrust, she tried to stand, but immediately fell again backward and let out of little cry of pain. Now in addition to the huge ache in her tummy her rear-end hurt.
"Heh. Reduced to crawling. I think you would be more suited as an infant then a genin ninja" he said, lauging out loud.
"Shut up!" Getting on her hands and knees, she looked up at her opponent. He was already so tall, but from this perspective, he was like a giant. She managed to pop her torso up again for a moment, though still on her knees, and grabbed the bottom of his shirt, using it to hold her in an upright position.
He smiled, putting his hand on her head. "You know, I like that idea" he said, looking down at her. "But where to start?" he said, pondering out loud.
Pulling herself up on his clothes, she lifted her feet slowly, getting into a shakey standing position. Her knees pointed away from one another, and would surely collapse under her if she were to let go.
"Wha...wha..." she said, muscles screaming as she lifted herself up on her enemy's body, "What did you.. d-do with Sasuke,"
"He is at my resting area, eagerly awaiting companions... Do you want to be with him?" he asked.
Not sure what else to do, she nodded.
"Alright then" he said,  grabbing her arms. "Lay down softly... And relax..." he said
Tired mentally and physically, she lowered herself down as best she could, putting her back on the hard concrete.
He kneeled down, putting his hand to her stmach, and slowly started taking chakra from her, making the nerves around her bladder and bowels useless.
She made a cry in surprise, feeling a slightly painful shift in her lower torso. She farted loudly and felt something wet and squishy barrel into her panties. Feeling tears in her eyes, she made a couple of meek and helpless noises...
"Yes, one of the drawbacks" he said, waving his hands over the shorts, as they formed into a black diaper. He then moved his hands to other places, draining power and causing her muscles to become less control and more spastic.
The muscles were widdling away under her skin. She could feel her own body being rendered useless. What would Sasuke or Naruto say if they could see her here? Getting her butt kicked by a mysterious weirdo and now lying helpless on the ground messing in her panties, which had been replaced by a messy diaper.
"Now, close your eyes" he said, moving his hands above her eyes, activating a mix of ninjutsu and genjutsu.
Feeling strangly comforted to have someone tell her what to do, she obeyed.
She now appeared in a completely white room, ala the matrix, now with complete control of herself. In front of her was the man. "Hello again Haruno Sakura"
Perplexed, she looked around. "What is all this? I thought you said..."
"We are inside your mind right now, the only part of your body that is completely under your control. But don't try anything, because I have taken temporary dominance," he said.
She frowned, "So what is it you want?"
"A major part of what I want involves your memories, and your skills. So here, let me summon up your subconcious" he said, clapping as they are surrounded by images, going up and around for miles
"What do you intend to do to me? What happened to Sasuke?"
"I intend to do the same to you that I did to Sasuke. Now I want you to take one last look around. Closest to you are your first moments of life, spanning out to your current moments. I want you to pay special attention to the close ones" he said
She glanced at the images. Her holding a teddy, her crying over hunger, her throwing up at three AM, her splashing naked in a bathtub... "What's so important about all this?" she cried, blushing at having all these thoughts be displayed to anyone, even a total stranger.
"Because you are about to lose them" he said, as everything started spinning quickly and fading, untill all that was left was the early memories
With a jerk, Sakura was back on the floor of the alley, dressed in a poopy diaper. Feeling dirty and uncomfortable she did the only thing she knew how- she wailed her head off.
He smiled, reaching down and lifting her, rocking her. "There there, don't cry" he said, summoning a pacifier
Having the smooth soother in her mouth, the pink-haired ninja quited down a little, but still kicked her legs and squirmed on the pavement. She was still messy.
He layed her down, summoning another black diaper and quickly changing her beofre standing. "Almost done..."
Feeling clean and fresh again, she perked up. She looked up at the clouds between the walls of the alley and innocently wondered where they were going, pacifier still stuck in her mouth.
He pointed his hands at her, as bubbles of light floated torward his hands. With each buble that escaped, she lost a year off of her age
One by one, the little blue bubbles flitted out of her skin. Her chest became flatter, bra vanishing as her shirt shrank to fit. The genin headband holding her bangs back disappeared into thin air. Her hands and feet became chubby and tiny.
He smiled, summoning back the headband and setting it in his pocket before lifting up Sakura. He chuckled lightly, tickling her stomach as Aya poofed in
Pretty lady looked nice. She giggled and kicked her feet as the tall man tickled her...
He handed her over to Aya, summoning away the walls. "And make sure to use the black diapers. I have a feeling she will be going alot" he said, slowly walking away and looking for the final child in the pic, ripping out Sakura.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
Naruto exitted his favorite noodle shop after slurpping down a few jumbo-sized bowls of noodles. He headed back down the street, considering going to see what Sasuke was up to.
Sayo jumped to the nearest bilding, looking down apon the boy. "Hm... Strong chakra pours from this boy... I think I have fond the one" he said, following him closely.
Naruto continued quietly down the street, pushing his legs up high and humming carelessly to himself.
He touched down to the earth and looked at the boy. "You there, turn around" he said, still staring at him.
"Hm?" Naruto turned around, blinking at the stranger which was hard to do as his eyes were closed. "You want something?
"Yes. I would like you to follow me" he said, gesturing for him to go into an abandoned building.
The orange-clad ninja peered at the newcomer, ".... Are you gonna teach me a new technique?"
"Yes, yes, whatever" he said, walking away.
"Cool!" Naruto ran to the stranger's side, walking beside him. "What kinda techniques are you gonna teach me?"
"A special kind of transformation technique" he said, smiling as they walked into a place with very little sunlight.
"Huh, pretty dark in here," he said, looking around. The twelve-year-old looked up at the stranger obliviously happy, "So what's your name?"
"My name is not important... Now, I want you to gather up all your chakra."
Naruto blinked at the stranger confused, "You wanna teach me a new technique and you're not even gonna tell me your name?"
"Do you want to learn it or not?"
Naruto rolled his eyes, assuming the collection pose, "Yeah, yeah, okay." Naruto began to charge his chakara into his chest, feeling its blue energy into his body.
"Hm.. dom't focus it in your chest... focus in your stomach" he said.
Hearing the advice, Naruto lowered his point of focus to his stomach and let it flow around freely as he increased its concentration.
"Good... Good... " he held his hand out, which had a seal on it. "First thing's first..." he said, putting his hand to the ground, causing several tentacles of chakra to come out of the ground and hold him in place.
Naruto opened his eyes, looking at the glowing tentacles wrapping around his legs, "Hey, wha... what kind of technique is this?"
"Not a technique that you will ever learn... Now, I am about to do a great thing for you... Take that demon out of you."
"The Nine-tailed fox?" cried Naruto struggling against the binds. "But that's dangerous! I dun.. I dunno what'll happen!"
"Yes, I do... I have rigged this... To where you will revert to before you had the demon in you," he said.
Naruto stopped struggling for a moment, looking off in thought, "But... but I don't even remember what I was like before I got the Nine-Tailed Fox in me. I must've been like... two.."
"Actually, for a seal like yours to work, you would have had to have been... a Newborn..." he said.
Naruto's eyes bugged out, gazing at the stranger, "Wait... are you saying I'm gonna turn into a baby?!"
"Well... Yes" he said, lifting his shirt.
The pre-teen looked at the stranger in fear as he lifted up his shirt. Visions of inappropriate touching entered his mind.
"Wha-what're... The Nine-Tailed Fox'll kill you when he gets out! You know that!"
"Heh... I have thought of that... Which is why this seal is large" he said, moving up his sleeve to reveal the seal on his palm extending up his arm.
Naruto's eyes followed the tattoo up Sayo's arm, confused as hell, "What're you gonna do with that?!"
"Take your demon" he said, making a few signs and moving his hand torwards his stomach, touching the seal.
His touch was pretty gentle, but once it touched his skin, he felt something violent and wiggly zooming out into his arm. As it happened, his legs started turning to jelly...
"Heh... the more I take out, the younger oyu get..." he said, as long lines of orange chakra shot from his stomach, up his arm.
The ninja fell onto his back, Sayo pinning him there with his hand. His feet receeded out of his shoes. In a panic he started screaming but nobody could hear him. His voice soon became higher and higher in pitch. He was already smaller then Konohamaru and shrinking fast.
"All this power... All mine..." he mumbled, powering the extraction to it's fullest potential, causing the chakra to shine brightly.
Naruto's cries for help started to get more and more fragmented until they were nothing but a continuous wail. A newborn was sitting on the cold floor, kicking his feet blindly and screaming up a storm.
He receded his hand, and watched the seal wash away from his stomach, now simply wet ink. "Well then, as you still have your mind, I will give oyu a choice. You can either keep your adult mind, and grow up completely concious. Or, I could take that away, and you could grow up again. Want to make a decision now?" he asked.
"Ah goh famwy!" piped up Naruto, barely controling his vocal cords and tongue. "Saa-se an' Sa-kwa an' Kakaka...."
"Sasuke and Sakura are already oyur age... and Kakashi should have his mind erased by now... So, I will let you meet them, then decide" he said, lifting him up, and handing him to Aya, who just appeared.
Naruto lost control and started wailing again. As Aya picked the child up she felt warm liquid falling onto her shoes.
"Hm... Well then Aya, We have the power... I am going to go celebrate. You take him back and diaper immediately. And spank, if you like" he said, walking off. She obliged, and disappeared.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
Hinata walked slowly down the street, pleased with herself that she managed to get all the items that she was asked to. She had been sent to get groceries for her team and was heading back, loosely reading a list of items, plastic bag in her other hand.
He smiled, looking at this girl. "Pale skin... black hair... pale eyes... A hyuuga" he said. "A nice one to have in my collection" with a flick of his finger, the bag ripped on the bottom, letting everything spill out.
Hinata let out a small cry seeing the plastic bag rip at the bottom. She knelt down immediately and started picking up the various objects and foodstuffs, making a pouch with her jacket and cradling them inside.
He walked over and kneeled next to her, helping her. "Need help?" he asked.
Turning to the stranger, blushing red, she nodded, as usual not being able to find her voice.
"I see your nervous... Why is that?" he asks, helping her carry stuff.
"I... I'm just... like that..." she said quietly, letting the stranger finish putting the objects into her jacket. "Well, th-thank you for the help," she said, rising to leave.
"That is too many tihngs to carry by yourself. Let me help you" he said, taking some items.
"Oh...." she blushed as he took some of the larger objects and began walking alongsied her, "You don't have to... Everyone's um... waiting for me a bit of a way away..."
"It is no problem. But you are a bit young... Acadamy student, you are?" he asked, knowing full well that she was a genin.
"Mm," She smiled and pointed to the Genin band around her neck. "My... my team's waiting for me."
"I see... But you are still a little girl... Are you sure you can do what a ninja does?" he asked, thinking up a scheme.
"I... I'm tougher then a look," she interjected, trying and failing to put on a tough face. "I train really hard."
"I am sure... But you still do not fit the mold of a ninja... Would you like to put that to the test?" he asked.
Hinata blinked, "A test? What kind of test?"
"Well, follow me, and I will show oyu" he said, taking a turn to a training ground.
Being put on the spot on this made Hinata a little unsure of herself. She began to look around, feeling awkward, "I... dunno about this. Maybe we should go meet my sensei... she... she wants this stuff an-and she'd be able instruct me..."
"Who is your instructor?" he asked, looking at her.
"Kurenai-sensei."
"Hm... Yuuhi Kurenai... Jounin level... I know her. I know her... very well" he said, chuckling lightly. "But I could teach you more then she could... Follow me..." he said, staring into her eyes.
Hinata continued to follow, letting Sayo lead her into the center of the training grounds, but still voicing her doubts. "Well... It would be n-nice to have her here. She's real... real nice and gives... y'know, m-moral support and everything..."
"Do not worry... I am one of her former teammates... I know how she handles you, and I shall do the same" he said, setting the items down. "Now... we shall play a game."
Hinata put down her own items and went into a shaky battle stance, "O..okay..."
"Alright, how old are ya?" he asked.
"Twelve."
"Alright then, you have twelve minutes to take me down... For every minute wasted, there is a nice consequence..." he said, making a few hand seals and letting the chakra do the rest of the work.
Hinata blinked, "You... you just want me to come at you?"
"Yes, I will be completely on the defenses... just try and get me down" he said.
"O...kay." Hinata closed her eyes, and opened them again, Byakugan revealed. She rushed forward, gentle fist style prepared.
"Heheh... one minute wasted already..." he said.
Hinata ran forward, slightly off balance. Not much was different, but her training bra had vanished under her jacket. In her "battle mode" mindset though, she failed to notice as she thrust her hand forward toward Sayo.
He moved his hand out, giving her hand a simple flick and directing it to the ground below him.
At ten, Hinata brought her foot upward to make a roundhouse kick, aiming at a main Chakra point. She could she chakra a strong red chakra inside her opponent and was sure it would be best to block it.
He put his hands together and gave a burst of chakra, throwing her off balance.
Nine, then eight... Her legs became shorter and she stumbled back, stepping over her own feet just to stay upright. Getting her bearings straight again, she thrust forward toward Sayo, palm ready for another strike.
"Heh... Very strong little girl" he said, putting his hands behind his back.
As she reached seven, she lost a major growth spurt. She rose her leg as high as possible, but her wide kick was only level to his stomach, not his chest. Moot point anyway, he leaned back and let it pass him easily. Making a fist, she brought it toward his gut...
He caught it and simply threw it aside, forcing her to do a few spins. He then stepped back, waiting for the next move.
She spun around like a tornado, arms flailing. When she was six she managed to stop herself, then at five, her head stopped spinning and the dizziness passed. Noticing her pants were a little low, she hitched them up again, but Sayo still saw a bit some pink panties peeking out o f the top. She clenched and fist and went forward again. But it was taking so many steps to bridge the distance...
He waited for her to come, before lifting his leg and puttting it to her head, pushing her back.
Four. Back in training pants. Sayo held her leg there for a moment, letting the tot hold her position. Hinata let her fists fly wildly toward the enemy, but her arms were so short... and Sayo's leg was so long.... The criminal smiled grimly, and gave her a little nudge with his toe. Pushed back, the three-year-old fell innocently onto her diapered rump.
"Still got anything left?" he asked, walking over.
Hinata got to her feet uneasily. The three-year-old trotted as fast as possible toward her enemy. He side-stepped casually and she fell onto her face, diapered rump clearly showing through her pants. At two she got upright again... She was still so off balance and there was a warmth between her legs. It felt like there was something wrong... Her thoughts were interrupted as Sayo picked her up by the collar of her little jacket.
"I think this is done. You have lost" he said, tickling under her chin.
Being tickled, Hinata started giggling innocently, but once it stopped, so did she. Her diaper was really itchy... While as a twelve-year-old, Hinata was so quiet that she barely said a world. But this was apparently not a tendency she had as a two-year-old. At this discomfort, she opened her mouth and let loose a wail loud enough to wake the dead. He started rocking her, cooing softly and singling a lullaby and whimpering, Hinata closed her eyes. She took one of the little dangles on her jacket and put them in her mouth before turning over and falling asleep.
"Heh. I'll personally deliver you..." he said, teleporting back to home base, and going to the nursery room.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
Sasuke felt very warm and cared for as he roused from sleep. There was a soft fabric covering every part of his skin below his neck. The only major discomfort he had was between his legs which felt a little itchy when he moved. Opening his eyes, he saw a blur of pink and red. Blinking, it came into focus as pink hair with a red bow....
Sasuke sat bolt upright, shocked that he was spooned up next to Sakura. Before he could register anything else strange about what was going on, he noticed he was sucking on something. He turned his head and spit it onto the floor.
Sakura stirred, hugging him tighter, already dreaming of Sasuke and her making out...
Pulled closer, Sasuke squirmed, kicking his feet in a childish manner, "Sakura! Stopit!"
She woke up, sitting on her bum and rubbing her eyes with her small fists. "...Huh?" she asked, looking through squinted eyes.
"Don't hug me li..." He blinked, noticing not only the ribbon, but the rest of her wardrobe, "Wha... what're you wearing?" Turning to look down at himself, he found he was dressed in blue feety pajamas with mittened hands and snaps on his bottom. "What am I wearing?"
"...What?" she asked, looking down. "Ah!" she yelled, looking at a bright red onesie, with little booties on her feet.
"Are... are we in diapers?" the boy asked patting his own bottom. "What happened?!"
"I... remember talking to a man... then a white room... then it goes fuzzy" she said, trying to stand, but only falling down.
Sasuke crawled over to her, making sure she was okay, "I was in a forest... Think I was attacked by someone..." Seeing she was fine, he planted his feet onto the soft floor they were sitting on and pushed upward.
She watched him, crawling over for support. "Wow... this feels weird" he said.
Sasuke, more out of stubbornness then muscle, managed to stay on his feet for a moment. His legs finally buckled and, arms flailing, he landed down onto his bottom.
"Being so weak or being in diapers?" he asked bitterly.
"Both" she said, kneeling next to him. "Where are we?" she asked.
Sasuke looked around. There were tall plastic walls surrounding them and soft cloth beneath them. He noticed several toys like rattles and stuffed toys scattered on the floor.
"I think we're in a play-pen...."
"A playpen? So... It's true then" she said, touching a stuffed rabbit, seemingly to see if it was real
"Yeah. We're toddlers somehow.... Maybe not even that..." Sasuke thought for a moment, his thumb finding its way into his mouth.
Sakura sat there, hugging the bunny and sucking her thumb, rocking back and forth and ready to cry.
Sasuke noticed the tears in her eyes. He plucked his thumb out of his mouth and crawled next to her, "Don't worry. We'll figure this out."
"But how? The only person to save us is Naruto and... And..." she sniffled, pointing across the room.
Sasuke and Sakura stared. Lying a short distance away was Naruto, dressed in a little version of his jacket and a diaper, snoozing soundly.
Sasuke finished her sentence, "Kakashi. Just Kakashi."
"There is no Kakashi to save you" Came a soft, female voice, walking over.
Hearing a new voice, Sasuke instinctively stood up. Then fell down. Dejected, he just turned in place to face the stranger.
Aya stood there, arms crossed in front of her. She bowed to the two. "Hello, my name is Aya. I am Sayotoki's assistant and wife. I shall be your caretaker" she said softly.
Sasuke glared at her, as best a toddler could, "How'd we get like this? What'd you do with our clothes?"
"You were regressed by master Sayo while he was looking for power. You were nude when you came here, so I changed you" she said, walking over.
Sasuke's face went red and he folded his legs out of instinctive modesty, "You're not getting away with this, you know."
"Young sir, it is my job to take care of you to my fullest extent, and make sure no harm comes to you" she said, reaching down and unbuttoning his crotch.
"Wha... What're you doing! STOPIT!" through instinctive body language, Sasuke kicked his feet weakly, trying toback away.
She slipped her hand into the front of the diaper, checking for wetness. With the other hand, she checked Sakura as well, who gave quite a fight.
Composing himself, Sasuke wrapped his tiny mittened hands around Aya's large fingers, trying with all his might to get her hand away from him.
"Hm... You both are dry for now... You may continue playing. Would you like me to bring your other playmates here?" she asked.
Sasuke came out of it and blinked, "Other playmates?" Had Kakashi been captured too?
"No, the blonde boy over here, and the black haired girl napping with him" he said, gesturing to the crib.
Sasuke turned, peering, "Sakura-chan, is that..."
"Yes, that's Hinata... And..."
"...Naruto" finished Sasuke. He turned back to Aya, "Who else are you holding here?"
"Currently, these four. But, with master's new machine, we can go to any time in reality and collect anyone."
"We're getting out of here," said Sasuke as seriously as he could.
"I am sorry, but there will be no leaving... If you attempt to, then I will be forced to activate the Mind Enhancer" she said, taking out a small remote.
"Do I want to know what that is?"
"Your mind, to mend with the body, is seperated into two parts. One is your mature, consious self, and the other is that of an infant. If you attempt to escape, I am afraid that I will have to activate it," she said, bowing. "Gomen."
Sasuke frowned, "You hardly seem sorry."
"I am sorry, but it is my duty. This will also be used for punishment."
"Punishment for what?"
"Anything against what a normal infant does," she says, walking torwards the two sleeping ones.
Sasuke gulped. His thumb was in his mouth again as he started trying to think of a way out without getting caught.
Hinata moved a little, her eyes opening and looking forward... Into orange. Naruto was still snoozing, a snot bubble in his nose... She looked up... Before squeaking, scuffling to the other side of the crib, breahing heavily.
Awoken by the high-pitched squeak, Naruto stirred, opening his eyes and sitting up, "Hm...?"
She then started looking at herself, and around, and started breathing faster.
"Hinata?" he asked, still half-asleep. Eyes partly-closed he looked at his legs, "Wha.... what're these thick boxers?"
She looked at him, before squeaking again. "That' a diaper!" she said, in a very high voice, even higher then usual.
Naruto's eyes opened fully. She was right. "What? Why am I diapered?" His head cocked up, flying around in all directions, "What're you doing here?! Where are we? Whe-" he tried to stand up but somehow remained seated no matter how much pressure he tried to put on his feet.
"We're... We're babies..." she said, curling up in a little boall and sobbing.
"Why're we babies? What happened?" He struggled.... he was so tiny, so weak. He managed to get into a crawling position and started to make his way to Hinata.
She looked up and saw him coming closer. She then instinctively tried to move back away, but she was already against the bars. So she sat there and watched him approach. Once he was a few inches away... A hissing sound was heard.
At a loss of what else to do and oblivious to her attempts to shy away, Naruto struggled into a sitting position against hte bars with her. He blinked, looking around, "What's that noise? You hear it, it's like a hissing..." He turned to her, looking her straight in the eye, still clueless but direct all the same, "It's like a gas or something."
She simply blushed, face in hands, as her diaper got darker.
Naruto peered at her, not noticing, "What're you so sad about? Uh..." He cast his eyes from the stiff baby mattress and found a teddy bear, which he offered to her, smiling in his doofus sort of way. "We'll be fine. Kakashi-sensei'll save us!"
She looked up, sniffling, taking the bear. She then smelt something terrible and shoved her face in the bear, guessing what it was...
Face becoming a perfect shade of red to match his jacket, Naruto backed away from Hinata, slowly. "S-Sorry... I just... Didn't feel..."
"I... U-understand... I wet" she said, moving the bear to reveal the diaper.
"Oh..." Naruto looked around, twiddling his thumbs. "So... what do we do?"
"You get changed" came a gentle voice from behind them.
Both tots turned with difficulty, backs being against the bars. Naruto looked at this newcomer in confusion, "Um... who're you?"
"I am Aya, your caretaker. I will be caring for you and keeping you safe from harm" she said, bowing.
"Oh. Uh..." Naruto looked from side to side, then back to Aya, "Do you know why we're babies?"
"In Master Sayotoki's search for power, he regressed you to stop the threat of battle" she said softly.
"Sayotoki..." repeated Naruto, rubbing the back of his head, "That must be who that guy from outside the noodle shop was... I remember talking to him I think..."
"Yes... I talked to him too... And we sparred" Hinata piped up.
"You sparred?" asked Naruto, turning back to HInata. "How good of a fighter was he?"
She looked down at herself and blushed. "...Too good" she said.
Not sure what that meant, Naruto turned back to Aya, "So.... You gonna change us back?"
"I'm afraid I cannot do that. I am ordered to keep you like that from now until it is said otherwise" she said, lifting them both up.
Looking around feveroushly, Naruto began to kick his legs in struggle, "What're you doing?! Put us down!"
"From the smell, you both need a change" she said, walking past the playpen.
"Naruto!" Seeing his team member was awake, Sasuke tried to rise again, maintaining a standing position but his legs trembling feebly.
Hinata looked over, but before she could say anything, they were at the table, their positions changing... Naruto laying down, and Hianta, sitting next to him and looking straight at him as Aya took off the diaper.
Naruto, blushing bright red at being half-naked in front of Hinata, brought his legs up right into a sort of fetal-esque position once his diaper was off.
She creamed and powdered him, before slipping the diaper under him. She them turned him to face Hinata. "I think you should try taping him up," she said, giggling softly as Hinata froze, staring at Naruto.
Naruto stared up at his gigantic captor, stupified, ".....What?"
"From files, she seemed most reliable and caring. Therefore, I think it would be a treat if she was to be the one who diapered you," he said, as Hinata started shaking, reaching forward.
Naruto sat up, grabbing the diaper and pulling it up between his legs, laughing nervously, "Th-that's okay. I can just do it myself, see?"
"Nice try" she said, grabbing his hands as Hinata folded up the diaper, getting a full look at his tiny nether regions. By the time she was done, she was stunned, simply sitting there.
Once it was over, Naruto sat up, refusing to look in Hinata's direction. He stared off for a long moment.
"Once we're out, we don't speak of this again."
"A-agreed" she said, as they were lifted and set in the playpen
"Naruto!" Sasuke took a feeble step forward an fell on his face. Remaining face-down, he sighed. "You two okay?"
Sakura crawled forward, looking at the two. "Naruto looks fine, but... What's wrong with Hinata?" she asked, looking at the girl, who seemed to have lost all color in her body.
Naruto, who had entirely too much color in his body, patted Sakura on the shoulder, "Sh-she's fine. Just a little shocked at what's happened. Y'know?" He gave a nervous laugh. "So how long have you two been here?"
Sasuke begrudgingly crawled over to the other three, "Dunno. We just woke up here."
"Well, let's see... From what I have seen, we are under constant surveillance by this woman," Sakura said, pointing to Aya. "We need a distraction, a route out... then a way to change back," she said, thinking deeply.
Being even smaller then the others, Naruto looked at his limp feet, "Umm... I guess one of us could raise a fuss to let the others get out, but how far could any of us get like this?"
"Well, we don't even know how strong she is. For all we know... she could be stronger then that man," She said, grabbing to the side net and stnading up, looking around.
Sasuke also got to his feet, "You're right. Our best bet would be to get word out where we are."
Naruto blinked, looking at his stomach, "Um... Before we start thinking of a plan, I'm getting kinda hungry."
"I think it is snack time" Aya said, walking over and lifting them all and walking to the kitchen.
Frowning and being squashed between Hinata and Sakura in Aya's arms, Sasuke looked up at his caretaker, "You enjoy this way too much for me to be comfortable."
"I enjoy taking care of children. I have for years," she said, setting each in thie color coded high chairs. "You are Uchiha Sasuke, correct?"
He squirmed as Aya tied a bib around his neck, "Y-yeah..."
"Ah yes. The familiar evil eye... I have had a run in with your brother before," she said, walking down the line. "And you are Naruto," she said, smiling warmly
"Yup!" Naruto was actually feeling a little eager to be fed. His stomach seemed to be caving in on itself.
"My, your widdle tummy is grumbling up a storm!" she said, tickling him.
He couldn't help it. He giggled and squirmed in his chair, kicking his feet wildly.
"Oh, you're so adorable!" she said, kissing his cheek as she moved on, tying bibs on the girls before getting baby food out of the cupboard, walking to Sasuke first.
Sasuke narrowed his eyes at her as she started putting jars of baby food on his high-chair tray, "What're you going to feed me?"
"Whatever fruit you would like. Anything," she said. "How does grape sound?" she asked.
He backed away as much as he could while locked in his chair, "I'm... I'm not really hungry."
"Aw, now don't be shy. Here comes the plane," she said, zooming the spoon torwards his mouth.
Sasuke gripped his the edges of his tray, forcing his jaws together.
"Hm... Fine then... I think someone else would enjoy this," she said, moving ot the orange highchair.
While he did feel better about not being so degraded, Sasuke did feel strangly jealous at seeing Naruto get more attention. Plus he still felt a little hungry.
Naruto smiled widely at seeing the lunch wagon come his way.
She smiled. "Now, will my big boy open wide for the choo-choo?" she asked.
Naruto complied, opening his abnormally large mouth as wide as possible.
She smiled, starting to feed him. "You are too cute. I may just adopt you," she said, finishing.
As Aya's attention was focused on Naruto, Sasuke leaned toward Sakura, face deadpan, "Are you believing this?"
"Yeah... She seems to have taken a liking to him, and him to her... what do you make of it?" she asked.
He narrowed his eyes, "Naruto never really had a mom. This must be a new experience for him. He shouldn't get too wrapped up in this though, considering that she's still kidnapping us, regardless of her demeanor."
"Yes, but we could use this to our advantage. Let him get carried away in this, and then we escape with her help," she said.
Sasuke put a hand to his chin, "Good idea. That may be our only way out as long as she has that remote with her... We'll let him run his course now, then tell him to ask her when we're alone."
Face covered in mashed bananas, Naruto had finished his jar. He looked down, feeling his ribcage, "My chest kinda hurts... Likea pressure..."
"I'll get that for you sweetheart" she said, lifting him up and patting his back.
Naruto felt the pressure coming up to his throat with each gentle pat until he finally let out a tiny burp. He felt weird. The panic of being kidnapped was ebbing away. He didn't feel like he was being kidnapped at all. On the countrary he felt really happy and comforted. Bringing up both his little arms he wrapped them around Aya's neck, giving her a thank-you-hug.
"You're just so cute..." she said, setting him back down next to Sasuke before moving on, feeding the other two reluctant victims.
Sasuke sat watching as Aya went on to feed Sakura and Hinata. Now he was really regretting being so stubborn. He was starving. As Aya finished burping Hinata and tickled her as he put her back in her highchair, his tummy let out a particularly loud grumble.
"Well, is little Mr. Grumpy ready for his snack?" she asked, walking back over with one last jar.
An angry pout on his face, Sasuke turned away. "Yes," he said in a low voice.
"Well then, open up" she said, taking out the spoon and scooping up some food.
He obeyed, turning back to her and swiftly bringing his jaws apart.
She put the food in, slowly pulling back out. "Hm?" she asked, scooping up some more.
He was surprised to find it tasted rather good, and felt nice on his toothless gums. He swallowed and actually found it difficult to supress a smile.
"There we go" she said, feeding him the entire jar.
Despite having a large amount of it on his face, he felt alot better after eating, his stomach was full and his eyelids a little heavy.
She looked on and saw all of them slowly drifting off. "I guess it's naptime," she said, lifting them all up and walking to the crib room.
Though he was tired himself, Naruto still felt a little sad about being sepearted from Aya so soon. As she picked them all up, he snuggled into her chest, yawning.
She set Sasuke and Sakura into their crib, before setting Hinata into hers. She then held Naruto up. "I have taken care of many victims. But you, Naruto, are special. You are the only one who hasn't tried to fight it. You remind me of someone from long ago. Goodnight," she said, kissing him on each cheek before setting him down next to Hinata, who instinctively cuddled with him for warmth.
He felt so happy when she kissed him, like everything in the world was okay. As she pulled a blanket over him and Hinata, Naruto sleepily put an arm around his bunkmate, without a care in the world.
Sasuke however, kept his eyes open, waiting for Aya to leave so he could talk to Naruto.
Aya walked out of the room, going back to her normal chores.
Sakura sat up next to him, looking over to Sasuke, wondering if the coast was clear.
Sasuke waited a full moment before giving his pink-haired team-mate a solumn nod. He crawled over to Naruto, shaking him gently, "Naruto? Naruto, wake up!"
"Hmmm?" The little ninja sat up, eyes half-open. "What's goin' on?"
Hinata stirred slightly, only to move in closer to Naruto and continue sleeping.
"Alright Sasuke, what's the plan?" Sakura asked.
"Naruto, we need you to keep snuggling up with our nanny/kidnapper," said Sasuke, face hard in the yellow light from the windows.
The ninja blinked, thinking hard, "I dunno what you mean."
"We need for you to be as cute as possible for her, and maybe she will let us go," Sakura said,
Naruto looked from his first team-mate to his second, "Y-You think that'll work?"
"Were you paying attention?" Sasuke gestured toward the door Aya just exitted from. "She's crazy about you. You need to make her feel bad about holding you hostage and guilt-trip her into letting us loose."
"Yeah. We need to get out of here and stop these maniacs!" Sakura whispered,
Naruto looked confused, "But... how exactly do I do that?"
The blue ninja rolled his eyes, "Just keep doing what you've been doing. Snuggle up with her, cuddle, hug. Just throw in some boo-boo kitty faces and say how much you miss Kakashi-sensei."
"No no, leave that part out. Then Kakashi might join us here," Sakura said hastily. "Just butter her up, then ask her to let us go," she said, looking at him desperately.
"Kay," said Naruto, lying back down again. "She seems really nice, anyway."
Sasuke yawned widely. Being a baby made things so tiring.
Sakura yawned after Sasuke did. But, being the more tired one, she instictively leaned onto Sasuke and started drifting off. Already weak and too tired to try supporting Sakura's weight, Sasuke laid down too. Naruto turned and put his arm back around Hinata, his sleepy brain mistaking her for a large white teddy bear. Hinata cuddled up to him as well, moving her face into his jacket before finally nodding off, just as Sakura did.
In the dark room, the four toddlers, confused and exhausted, slept through the afternoon.
