65 Training Simulation 2(18+)

[This is a special chapter occurs before Clarice and Miata trying the simulation and after Miria and Undine Team trying the simulation for the first time.]

Today was a rather boring day today. It was a rarity in these times. As he leaned against the battlements, Naruto stared down at the town below with partially closed eyes. It was peaceful, relaxing. It was surprisingly quiet too, because no one was training. Another rarity in itself, because there is always someone out in the bailey training.

Then again, he should probably be more surprised that this isn't more common, as so many of the women had kids of their own, were actively trying to make kids of their own, or were just constantly gushing over how cute they found the kids of the other women to be.

He perked up slightly upon hearing several footsteps, and looked in the direction they were coming from. He found Miria, Queenie, Tabitha, and Yuma making their way over to him. And they were garbed in their old uniforms, their swords sheathed on their backs in the classic fantasy manner.

Naruto found them wearing their old uniforms to be odd, but he wasn't going to complain. They were still left little to the imagination. "Hey you four," he greeted them with a loving smile, "What brings you out here?"

Miria gave her husband a smile of her own and pecked him on the lips after embracing him. "We were wanting to use the simulation for training." the sandy-brunette answered, "We want to try something different though."

"Oh?" Naruto thoughtfully rubbed his chin, "I can think of a few things that will be different from usual. Want me to set it up?"

Miria nodded with a gentle smile, "Please and thank you."

Naruto smiled and beckoned them to follow him down to the bailey. They gladly did so; each one of them were eager for a new experience. Now in front of the simulation seal several minutes later, Naruto pressed his hand against the seal on the ground and sent his chakra into it. A dome barrier manifested, and Naruto took his hand off the seal and put it on the barrier itself. A mass of blackness suddenly formed, concealing what was happening inside.

"Alright," he started, "do you four want a debriefing?" he looked at them, directing his focus and attention to them and the simulation at the same time.

"Yes, please," Miria nodded.

"Alright," Naruto said. "You will be going in mostly blind. This simulation is going to take place in a forest. The enemy is unknown, and everyone sent before you to investigate and deal with this threat has disappeared, mostly without a trace - only their clothes were left behind."

"There's no bodies?" Queenie asked, perplexed.

"No. There are no bodies. There is a rumour, that an experiment had taken place in the forest you're being sent into years ago. But something went wrong. No one knows how long ago it took, and no one was able to confirm it - because they went missing." Naruto gave them a mischievous grin that reminded them just a bit too much of Ophelia, as he added. "You don't need to win, though - just to survive."

The blond took his hand off the barrier and gestured for them to walk on in, but not before giving them one last piece of advice. "Also: keeping a close eye on your environment is key to winning. Good luck you four."

Miria, Queenie, Yuma and Tabitha nodded before stepping through the barrier. It solidified behind them, effectively trapping the women inside until the simulation finished. Naruto smiled widely, "Now, let the games begin…"

----

Inside the simulation, Team Miria all took in their processively generated surroundings for the first time. Like Naruto had said, it was a forest. And Tabitha didn't sense any yoki in the area. However, they knew a lot of things were not normal at all; several of the flora and fauna, like plants and bugs were far bigger than they should be. Were mushrooms supposed to be capable of getting that big? They saw several spotted mushrooms that were tall enough to be level with their thighs!

"Very strange," Queenie said with an arched eyebrow. "Flora of that kind don't normally grow that big, do they?"

"Not on our continent," Yuma said, looking at the plants oddly. "According to Karui, however, there are mushrooms the size of houses in places like the Lands of Water and Fire."

"Really now?" Miria asked, cocking her head.

Yuma shrugged. "She gets homesick, sometimes, and tends to talk a lot about her continent." she looked around for a moment, "From the looks of it we may be in the Land of Fire. Or maybe this simulation is based off it? Naruto does power them with his imagination, after all."

"I see," Miria slowly nodded as she took that information into account, "First of all, we need to find out where these people have gone missing. If Naruto's briefing is any implication, the place they were last at shouldn't be hard to miss." If the victims' clothes were left behind, then they would have a general idea of where to begin their search for this thing. The sandy brunette looked at her teams sensor, "Tabitha, do you sense anything out of the ordinary?"

Tabitha closed her eyes and furrowed her brow. She shook her head. "...No. I don't sense anything. Either this thing is an awakened being suppressing its yoki, or we are dealing with something else entirely."

"I see, then in that case we have to keep an eye out the old-fashioned way. Be vigilant, everyone!" Miria beckoned Tabitha, Yuma, and Queenie to follow her.

With that the team of four delved further into the forest and kept to the path. Neither had drawn their swords, due to them being both confident and underestimating their unknown enemy. And soon, the four found themselves looking off into a large clearing, through the shrubbery with a small, but relatively conspicuous sunflower in the middle. It stuck out like a sore thumb, being the only plant in the area that was more than four inches tall.

They slowed their pace but didn't stop walking to the clearing. They exchanged looks with one another before looking back at the clearing. This was very suspicious. That being the only flora in the area that small, and it's the only one in the area? Something was fishy. They passed the treeline, and came to an abrupt stop.

The instant they were out, Team Miria found themselves agape at the sight of thousands of clothing items - possibly in the tens of thousands - strewn about the clearing, especially around the flower.

"What the hell…?" Queenie said, her voice shaking. "Wh-what happened here?"

"U-uh, should we turn back?" Yuma asked, her voice shaking, as she cautiously looked around. She looked to Miria for orders, "Captain? What should we do?"

Miria narrowed her eyes. Her silver irises quickly darted around surveying as she tried to locate any potential enemy. "We are here to figure out what is causing this," she said, drawing her claymore. "Stay close and be prepared for a fight."

The others nodded and took out their own swords, following her orders to the letter. Then, they followed Miria into the clearing and kept their eyes peeled for their potential enemy. Miria, on the other hand, had kept her silver eyes solely on the sunflower; if she was not considerate of those under her command, she would have sent someone else in her stead. But she wasn't that kind of person. She believed the lives of others had more worth than her own. She would never put her life before theirs.

But her eyes did glance around, and she found some discarded weapons, and armour, lying flat amongst the clothes. It made sense; if people came to investigate went missing then armed adventurers from all over, would have been drawn to this place like a moth to a flame.

"It looks like some adventurers were unlucky," she said, just loud enough for Tabitha, Yuma, and Queenie to hear. "It is more than likely that hundreds have met their fate here."

"You think it might have something to do with the flower?" Queenie asked and got a questionable look from Miria, Yuma, and Tabitha as a result. "As unlikely as it may seem, everything here seems to be centered around it. Also, Naruto's simulations have been known to feature some crazy shit. For all we know, it ate them."

"...Do you have any idea how ridiculous that sounds?" Tabitha asked her with a disbelieving look. "It's a flower. For all we know, it could be something else; Naruto did say there were some rather big snakes in his homeland. He even got ate by one."

"Do you know how ridiculous that sounds?" Queenie threw Tabitha's words back in her face, mockingly. "He has talking toads, too. You saw the ones he calls 'Ma' and 'Pa'. His whole continent is ridiculous, by our standards. For all we know, there could be some weird species of man-eating plant over there."

"That's enough, you two," Miria said, looking over her shoulder. Then, just as she took her eyes off the flower, Several long, vine-like tentacles sprouted and launched forth from the sunflower, ensnaring and lifting Miria off the ground before she even knew what happened.

Queenie, Tabitha, and Yuma all nearly jumped out of their skin upon hearing Miria's startled yelp and the sound of her sword hitting the ground with a clang. They all looked and found their captain was getting her armour stripped off, by the vines coming out of the bloom. Her claymore was on the ground forgotten. She did her best to get free, but simply couldn't pry herself from the plant's grasp; even releasing her yoki did jack shit against its remarkably strong grasp!

Her teammates, however, sprang into action, slicing at the vines. Their claymores sliced through the limbs like wet toilet paper, drawing an unholy, vicious hiss from the plant as it withdrew its dismembered stumps, that were oozing green ichor, and promptly replaced them, snatching all three girls up, and their captain, just as the latter hit the ground - landing on her ass with a grunt. Luckily for Yuma, Tabitha, and Queenie, they still had their claymores in hand. They did manage to dismember several vines, causing the green ichored stumps to retreat - and for them to be replaced - before they were finally snatched up.

But, just before she was restrained, Tabitha managed to sever the vines that were holding her captain up once more. Miria hopped back on her feet, grabbing her sword, and faded away like a mirage, just before the flower tried to grab her again. She was not going to let this thing harm her team! Reappearing behind the flower, a look of righteous fury in her golden eyes, she cut off its head and chopped the vines holding her friends into bits for good measure.

"Huh…" Miria put her sword back into its scabbard, "That was surprisingly easy." she couldn't help but feel smug about it. She gave the beheaded flower a nasty look, before scurrying on up to her teammates to check on them. With her back turned, she had no way of noticing that the severed vines were slowly sinking into the ground. The stem was doing the same and was underground in the blink of an eye.

"T-thank you, Captain," Tabitha blushed as she was hefted to her feet.

"I told you that flower was dangerous," Queenie grumbled.

"Okay, so you were right," Tabitha growsed, "It's dead now right?" she looked to her girlfriend, Miria for confirmation.

"I'm sure, it - GYAH!" Miria was interrupted mid-sentence as several vines snatched her up once more. The others followed soon after, grabbed by thicker, veiny tentacles with suspiciously bulbous tips sprouting from a newly-restored sunflower before they could react. "W-what the hell!? I killed you, damn it! I know I did!" Miria yelped as she felt the vine caressing her nethers in a lewd fashion as another slipped under her leggings to rub her directly. "DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE!" She yelled at it in comical wide-eyed outrage. "ONLY NARUTO CAN TOUCH ME THERE, YOU SON OF A BITCH!!"

----

Back outside, Naruto couldn't help but find it jarring to hear Miria swearing up a storm like that. "Huh… didn't know she had it in her…" He said aloud nervously. Thank god no one was around to hear or see this. She was going to kill him after this, wasn't she? Actually, he was pretty sure they were all going to try and kill him. Still, though… "By the Twins, she's so, damn sexy when she's angry!"

He can't wait to see what happens next. They still have a chance to get away after all. If they remembered to use their chakra affinity, they may be able to cut it off at the root. They can destroy the ground, after all.

----

Back in the sim, a heavily flustered Yuma let loose a guttural moan as her eyes rolled back and her tongue lolled out at the feel of a tentacle entering her womanly folds, its bulbous head touching her in all the right places, just like the mighty meatstick she'd grown to love. A hot shiver running up her spine, she dropped her sword and went limp, physically unable to fight back as the flower stripped her down - removing her armour first.

Queenie was almost completely naked, her leggings pulled down to her shins and her sabatons in the process of being removed. She was completely topless and unarmed with her arms bound over her head and a tentacle across her mouth like a gag as she squirmed with all her might. Two vines poked and rubbed at her nipples while two more teased her folds, coating themselves in her juices for lubrication.

A now-naked Miria let loose a guttural moan of her own, the tentacles inside her folds and anus feeling exactly like Naruto's dick as they violated her. Her cheeks burned in rage and embarrassment, but no matter how hard she tried, she simply couldn't break free. Then, one more caressed her little nub in just the right way, resulting in a guilty wave of pleasure washing over the former Number 6.

Finally, a disheartened Tabitha willingly dropped her sword and let herself be taken upon seeing the state of her teammates. She blushed and mewled as several grabby vines started rubbing against her sex while the others went to work on removing her clothes and armour.

Miria wailed once more as yet another unwanted orgasm wracked her body, too out of it to notice that the flower was bringing her towards it. A gaping, circular maw stretched itself open from the very center of the bloom, as a still-writhing brunette found herself suddenly unable to see. Immediately going into a panic, Miria started squirming with all her might once more as the vines in her sex and anus continued fucking her. Slowly, the flower started gobbling her down head first as it expanded to accommodate its meal like a snake. She went down kicking and screaming all the way as she was completely enveloped with a lewd slurp. Then, the bulge containing her body slowly started to shrink and stop moving as it went down into the roots with a loud, wet gulp.

Yuma was next, letting out an orgasmic wail of her own, she simply didn't care what happened to her, anymore, as the flower's greedy mouth stretched around her head. She was exhausted, shuddering as a second orgasm drained her of what energy she had left. The flower happily slurped and gulped her down, expanding around her nude, sexy body as she slid down into its gob without any fuss. The stem shrank down, now stretched over her female form like a second skin as the flower took its time, seeming to savour the meal as it let her slide down at an agonizingly-slow pace. Then, the bulge started to shrink and lose shape as Yuma's body was no more, swiftly digested before what was left sank down with yet another wet gulp.

Then, a now-naked Queenie followed, writhing in both pleasure and panic as she did her best to struggle against the violating and grabby limbs. She made a remarkable, but futile effort in it too. The shaft-like tentacles were simply too strong for her to break free of. Queenie was brought to its gaping, drooling mouth, and it stretched comically wide to accommodate her head. She squealed in exertion as the plant devoured her little by little, gulping the former Number 20 down at a slow, deliberate pace. Like Miria before her, Queenie kept on fighting, even when she was far beyond hope, she refused to give up. Slowly but surely, the sunflower happily gulped the woman down, stretching and expanding to impossible proportions and slurping lewdly as it enveloped her torso. The flower crudely gulped and slurped, pulling its meal farther and farther into its expanding stem, despite Queenie's persistent struggles. Its tentacles, once teasing her folds, coiled around her legs, spreading them open and inserted themselves into her vagina and anus and started fucking her senseless.

Queenie's muffled squeal reverberated off the trees as she was almost immediately wracked with a mind numbing orgasm. As she went stiff and her juices gushed forth, literally shooting up like a geyser, the flower inched its way up her rigid frame, then, as she went limp, the flower let her immobile body slide down its stem with a lewd slurp. Meanwhile, a limp and panting Tabitha watched with morbid fascination as the the bulge containing her last teammate lost its feminine shape and shrank as Queenie was swiftly digested. The contents of the flower's stem then disappeared, swallowed into the roots as the ravenous plant brought its final meal closer.

Tabitha closed her eyes and let herself go limp, accepting her fate as the wet sensation of her head being ingested drew a disgusted groan from her. As the flower lewdly and crudely slurped her down, the stem expanded and stretched itself to accommodate her torso like the others. And like Queenie before her, the tentacles coiled around her thighs and shins and spread her legs wide open. Then the tentacles that were rubbing against her folds slammed into her snatch and started fucking her silly. Tabitha mewled, instinctively spreading her legs further as her toes curled in pleasure. She obediently let the plant have its way with her, not putting up even the slightest resistance as she slid further and further down. Then, she stiffened and shuddered in guilty bliss as she came. No sooner and no later, the flower extracted its limbs from her violated cootch and let its last victim slide on down. Then, everything started fading slowly to white as the feminine bulge lost its shape, the body within being reduced to a soft goo and swallowed into the roots with a final gulp.

Team Miria had lost...

----

Naruto had to admit: he was damn aroused - far more so than he should be, in fact. Also, Team Miria were taken down a lot quicker than he thought they would. The team, as a whole, barely lasted a minute. He admittedly thought they would win, considering they had Miria - someone who was damn good at making strategies - leading them.

As the barrier powered down, Naruto found Team Miria sitting down on the floor, fully clothed and armoured; Miria had an expression on her face that reminded the blond of an angry cat. Yeah, he was going to be busy giving her makeup snuggles for the next few nights after that…

With a heavy sigh, Naruto walked on over to them.

"Naruto… what. The. Hell. Was that?!" Miria demanded with harsh eyes. It took everything Naruto had not to wince at her harsh tone.

"That was 'something different', like you wanted." he told her with a shrug, "It wasn't a simulation for combat; it was one for identifying a threat - and you all failed horribly at that. All four of you barely lasted a minute."

"You had a flower **** us, and then eat us…" Yuma looked so dead it wasn't funny. "A flower."

"Which you all died to." he added nontohelpfully. "You wanted something different to do, and I gave you it. Heck, as vague as I was, I did say you didn't have to fight, only to survive. With Miria as your leader and tactician, I was fully expecting you all to turn around and go back where you came from. That was one of the ways you could have won." Naruto let out a sigh and said, "But if you're really that pissed off at me…" he spread his arms and made himself defenceless. "I'll let you get in a good hit or two."

Miria groaned and glowled; she hated it when her man made such offerings… it was bound to get him killed, some day. Tabitha stalked on up to him, and took Naruto by complete surprise when she pulled him into a lustful, overwhelming kiss. She was pissed the fuck off, yes, but that was admittedly the best damn sex she's ever had behind her husband, and she needed to feel him inside her!

"You're a bastard." Tabitha growled as she withdrew from his lips, "But you're my bastard! And that was one hell of a fuck~!" Her hands immediately went down to his trousers as she made to undo them.

As his pants and boxers dropped to his ankles and his erect cock was stroked, Naruto thanked his lucky stars that Tabitha still loved him enough to do this.

----

Not long after…

A sexually satisfied Tabitha was walking along her captain and girlfriend, along with their teammates Queenie and Yuma. Miria was still angry for what Naruto had put them through - even if she secretly enjoyed the tentacle fucking. Tabitha 'cleaning up the mess' after Naruto gave her some makeup lovings certainly helped her mood turn far less dire, but she was still angry, damn it… mostly at herself for failing the sim.

"Hey, big sis!" The four stopped when they heard Helen call out to them. When they looked at her the woman, came to a stop and blinked in surprise, "Woah, what the hell happened to you? Apart from Tabitha, you all look like you want to strangle something." she pointed out.

"We asked Naruto to give us a different kind of sim to use for training." Miria answered her after huffing and crossing her arms against her bosom. "All of us lost, badly. We barely lasted a minute against it,"

That got Helen's attention and she got a devious idea, "Oh? If you lost to this simulation so fast, then it has to be tough! I have got to try this new simulation out for myself!" before any of them could tell her anything else, Helen turned and sprinted into the citadel. She had a friend to get!

"Uh…" Queenie looked to Miria and asked, "should we tell-" The former Number 20 cut herself off when she saw the look in her Captain's eyes.

Then Miria smiled, finding herself to be more cheerful, now - albeit for terrible reasons. "No. Helen is always getting herself into trouble. Let her find out herself."

Helen searched for her best friend with a purpose in every step. She was eager, so full of anticipation. Anything that manages to defeat Big Sis so fast has to be challenging! She wanted Deneve to try it out with her. It would be so much fun, rubbing it in Miria's face that she and Deneve managed to beat the simulation with flying colours! It would really drive Big Sis up the wall that they managed to win by themselves! She can almost see the look of annoyance and irritation on her face when telling her!

Eventually, Helen found Deneve hanging around with her Captain, Undine and her lips spread out into a wide grin. "Deneve!" Helen cried, startling the living hell out of the pixie-haired blonde. Deneve blinked owlishly at her friend, who suddenly appeared beside her with an arm over her shoulder. "You'll never guess what I've been told!"

"...I'm almost afraid to ask," Deneve said with dull eyes.

If anything that answer got Helen's smile to grow bigger. "I'll show you instead then! Let's go!" she cheered, and started dragging Deneve out into the Bailey with her.

"Wha- Helen! I was talking to Undine!"

"This is more important!"

"Oh for the love of- Helen!!" Now carried off over her friend's shoulder with an unamused scowl on her face, Deneve sighed heavily in exasperation. "Where are you taking me?" she asked, looking at her friend from over the shoulder as best as she possibly can.

"To the Bailey!" Helen answered, and since she knew her short haired friend was giving her a look that demanded her to elaborate even more, she went and did just that. "Big sis and her team took part in a new simulation, and lost in under a minute. I want to see what it's all about!"

Deneve let out a tired chuckle. Of course she would… "Should I get geared up, then?"

"Definitely," Helen chirped. "We have to try it out!"

"Okay, okay," Deneve let out a sigh, "...at least put me down. I can walk the rest of the way. My old armour is still in my room."

"Why wear your old armour? The one we're wearing right now is just as good." Helen pointed out, though she did stop to put her friend back down on her feet.

Deneve sighed, "You do have a point." she admitted, "But for 'old times sake' I want to be wearing my old stuff. If this simulation managed to beat Miria's team then I want something that gives me a lot of maneuverability and protection at the same time."

"Eh," Helen shrugged, "fair enough. I might as well get into my own armour myself, then."

With that the two friends backtracked and went to their own rooms to get a change of clothes. When they came out of their rooms several minutes later, Helen and Deneve were out of their black, leathery and cotton-like garbs and back in their old uniforms when they were still part of the Organization; they had their swords back on the slot on the back of their pauldrons.

"Ohh…" Helen rubbed at the black fabric that was on her arms and legs, "it feels really weird wearing this again after so long."

"It does," Deneve agreed. She was rolling her arms and bending her legs to get used to the feeling of wearing her old uniform again. "So," she exhaled, "let's go see Naruto about this new simulation."

"Alright," her friend chirped, "Let's go!"

"Wah!!" Deneve was startled when Helen hefted her over the shoulder and ran out into the courtyard. "Helen! Put me down!"

"Nope~!"

"Damn it, Helen!" If Sophia and Noel were there to see their antics, it would be as if they were seeing a carbon copy of themselves.

----

Several minutes later.

Naruto was surprised to see Helen and Deneve in front of him. He was even more surprised when he heard their reason for being here in the bailey in the first place. It wasn't even an hour and already word has already spread that Miria's team had lost to the new simulation in under a minute…

"So… you two want to take the same simulation Team Miria has taken?" he asked them, just to make sure.

"Yup!" Helen chirped, prompting Deneve to roll her eyes in both amusement and exasperation. "I want to rub it in Big Sis's face that Deneve and I managed to clear this simulation by ourselves. The look on her face would be priceless!"

Naruto shook his head with an amused smile, "I bet it would." he said, then he closed his eyes in thought. From the looks of it Helen and Deneve only know that Miria's team had lost. They had no idea what Miria's team had lost to… and that gave him quite the devious thought. His eyes opened and he looked at them with quite the mischievous grin, "Alright, I'll let you partake in the simulation, on one condition."

"Oh?" Helen and Deneve looked quite curious.

"You are not allowed to tell what the enemy is to your teammates or anyone else once it's finished. Them knowing would make the simulation useless if they knew what to look for."

Helen and Deneve exchanged looks, shrugged, and then gave him a nod of agreement. "Alright, we can agree to that." Deneve said, then she looked at the currently inactive simulation behind her hubby and asked, "What's the mission?"

Naruto turned around and pressed his hand against the barrier that shot into existence. The blackness enveloped the barrier, preventing the women from seeing what's inside. "This is going to be a search and rescue mission: Team Miria went to investigate the forest as hundreds of people have gone missing. They never returned. Your mission will be to find out what happened to them… and survive."

"Do we know what the enemy is?" Deneve asked. She wanted to get as much information about this possible enemy as possible.

To her dismay Naruto shook his head, "The enemy is unknown, and everyone sent before you to investigate and deal with this threat has disappeared, mostly without a trace - only their clothes were left behind."

"Only their clothes were left behind?" Helen gave and Deneve both gave him odd looks at that detail.

"Yes. Only their clothes were left behind. Again, no one knows why." Naruto told them with a chuckle. "But what you all do know is a rumour: an experiment had taken place in that very forest, and something went wrong. No one knows how long ago that experiment had taken place, but over the years a very high number of people have gone missing when they delved inside. The number is unknown, but rumours say it ranges from hundreds to thousands." Naruto then took his hand off the barrier and raised his fore and middle fingers, "You have a few objectives to this mission. None of them are vital to the success of this mission, and are purely optional. Find Team Miria, and find the creature lurking in the forest and eliminate it if possible. You can give yourself a self imposed challenge of finding out what happened to the victims as well. But what is essential to the success of this mission is surviving. Good luck you two."

Helen and Deneve nodded, slipping into the barrier. Once they were in, it solidified and the sim began.

----

The second they found themselves in the simulation Helen and Deneve took their time in getting a feel for their surroundings. The former was very interested with the environment the simulation generated as the flora and fauna, like plants and bugs were far bigger than they should be. Never in her life had she seen a tree that thick! You could fit a cathedral in its trunk!

"Damn! I never knew trees could grow this big!" Helen whistled and she reared her head back to try and look as far up as possible. "You can't even see the top!"

Deneve being the only one who was focused on the mission grabbed her friend by the arm and pulled her deeper into the forest. "Come on, let's go find out where Miria's team is and get them out." She was in awe at the flora and fauna herself, but unlike her friend Helen, she had a much better control over herself.

"R-right!" Helen followed, snapped out of her little trance. "So…uh... where do we start?"

"We start with searching obviously," Deneve answered as if it were blatantly obvious. "We have no idea where they are so finding a clue would suffice. Some footprints to follow will help immeasurably as well."

"Oh… you mean like those?" Helen asked, pointing to a set of footprints in front of them. Deneve and Helen both came to a stop and examined them. They came from sabatons, but they weren't from their own. It looks like a small group of adventures came by here a few days ago. The same amount of time that Miria's team had gone missing.

"Yes, Helen, like these." Deneve said, "They're a few days old. Around the same time Team Miria went missing. Let's follow them. Maybe it'll lead us to them." Well Helen wasn't about to argue with that. With no other option available to them Helen and Deneve both followed the trail of footprints.

"Have to admit, this is a nice place." Helen admitted with a cheerful grin. She was looking around with wide eyes. "I wonder if this is based on Naruto's home? I've never been there… outside of Nami of course."

"Miria did say Naruto's former home had unnaturally tall trees." Deneve pointed out, "This simulation may be based off of it." Eventually, after following the foot tracks for what felt like an hour, found it had led them to a clearing with a single, innocent looking sunflower in the middle. It's bloom was back to them, so they were unable to see the mass amounts of vine-like tentacles putting the swords and uniforms of its previous victims in a pile together, before slipping underground and back into its gaping maw in the middle of its bloom.

Helen and Deneve both came to a stop at the treeline, there was a lot of foliage that covered up everything except the clearing and the flower itself.

"Huh, that's admittedly odd." Helen said.

Deneve looked at her friend and quirked an eyebrow, "Why?"

"'Why?'" Helen gestured to the single, four inch flower and said, "We are in a place with overgrown mushrooms, plants and trees. A single, little flower surrounded by four-inch-tall grass in a place like this doesn't scream 'suspicious' to you?"

"That could just be the last remaining flower that wasn't affected by whatever this 'experiment gone wrong' had done." her pixie-haired friend pointed out.

"Hell, for all we know, it could be the experiment gone wrong," Helen rebutted with a worried frown

Deneve gave her friend an odd look, "That sounds absurd…" she pointed out to her. It sounded rather ridiculous...

"Yeah, it does, but I'm just saying we should probably assume the worst..."

"Fair point, I suppose," Deneve relented with a sigh. "Still, we need to find out what happened to Team Miria... and take out whatever took them down before more people become victims."

"In that case I'll let you go first. I have a much longer reach thanks to me being able to stretch my arms."

"Uh-huh…" shaking her head Deneve sighed and walked out of the treeline with Helen following after her. When they did and got closer to the center of the clearing, Helen and Deneve frowned at the sight of thousands of clothing items strewn about the clearing. It was unsettling to say the least. What the hell happened here?!

Then, as the two women walked around the flower, they saw them… there amongst the clothes were four claymores, uniforms and sets of armour, scattered about and unattended. "So Big Sis was one of the victims," Helen muttered. That made sense. The brunette's unit had failed the simulation, so this being how was the most likely scenario.

But… what got them… and why the hell were they apparently stripped down?! Were they raped?! Helen turned beet red at the thought. Naruto wouldn't put that into a sim, would he?!

As if just to answer her internal questions, the little sunflower sprang to life - a dozen vine-like tentacles sprouting from the face of the plat and launching themselves towards the unsuspecting women. It was pure instinct that saved Helen from being grabbed. She heard the sound of movement behind her and the woman quickly leapt forwards, just before she could have been grabbed by the tentacle-shaped vines. Deneve on the other hand was not so lucky. The vine-shaped tentacles coiled around her wrists, waist, and ankles and Deneve let out a startled cry as she was lift off the ground.

Helen swiftly turned on the heels of her sabatons and bared her teeth in wide-eyed shock from what she is seeing. "Hang on, Deneve! I'll get you free!" she yelled, drawing her claymore with a narrow-eyed snarl.

"Just cut these damn vi-AH!!" Deneve squealed when the tentacles spread her legs and started to lewdly rub and grind against her nethers. She ground against them out of sheer reflex, but caught herself and stopped through force of will. It didn't stop the tentacles from rubbing and grinding against her clothed pussy by themselves, though.

Helen obliged without hesitation, pointing her swordarm at the tentacles she extended the limb and sliced through them. The stumps began to seep out green ichor, as the flower let out a hiss of pain and Deneve fell onto her rump with a grunt. The sunflower quickly pulled its stumps back into its bloom. It had learned from the previous mistakes with Miria's team and quickly retreated into the ground before either of them could lash out.

Deneve hopped back onto her feet and looked around the clearing warily as she drew her sword from its slot. Where did that little shit go? With her friend free and armed for a fight, Helen got close to the woman and they went back to back; protecting each other's flanks would keep the flower from getting the drop on them.

Of course… if only it were that easy. The flower had gone underground, and it was small enough for neither woman to realise it was moving underground. Right in the middle of the two, and they were completely unaware of it. Its maw opened up in the middle and several tentacles, the thicker, veiny ones with suspiciously shaped heads shot out of it in the dozens.

Both women let loose an undignified squawk as they were hoisted off their feet by the ankles. It was so sudden, so unexpected, they had lost the grip on the handles of their swords when the women were pulled up into the air. And they were very unlucky when they were several feet in the air. Then, both Helen and Deneve squawked and shuddered at the feel of the vines gently caressing their sexes.

"OI!" Helen snapped at it. "Where the HELL do you think you're touching me?! Quit i-Mph!" Her protests were cut short as a very thick and veiny vine with a suspiciously shaped head shoved themself into her mouth, serving as a makeshift gag. Her silver eyes grew wide with outrage and indignation, even as the tentacle started thrusting in and out of her mouth like a piston.

Beside her a wide and teary-eyed Deneve gagged as an equally thick tentacle of her own shoved its way into her gob, and started thrusting away at her throat. She gagged and choked on it as her tongue tried to force the intruding, cock-shaped vine out of her mouth and throat, to no avail. Their situation only got worse when the rest of the vines slithered their way up to them and started stripping the women. Their armour being the first to go.

As her spaulders fell to the ground with a clang, Helen felt a shiver run up her spine. So, Big Sis and her team were raped! But… what happened to them? As she thought on this, her gauntlets were next to be taken off, her faulds followed suit, as did her sabatons. All of them fell to the ground with a clang next to her spaulders and claymore. Moaning around the tentacle in her mouth Helen gazed at her friend from the corner of her eyes.

She looked just in time to see Deneve being penetrated, a massive, dick-shaped tentacle sliding into the former Number 15's vagina, before pounding away as the others continued to strip her down. Helen's eyes nearly popped out of her skull at the feel of her leggings being pulled down and squirmed with all her might. But alas, it was all for naught as one particularly eager tentacle started rubbing up and down her slit, lubing itself up, right before venturing into a place only ever explored by her man's dick. Helen roared around the tentacle in her mouth with outrage, squirming and thrashing with twice the vigor as she did her damnedest to break free. Of course that only got the tentacle thrusting away in her snatch to fuck her even more.

Soon enough when their bodysuits were pulled off, the tentacle in their mouths and cunts had to pull out briefly in order for the clothing to be discarded properly. They were dropped in a pile alongside their armour.

"D-Deneve!" Helen gasped, and she looked at her best friend before those vine fuckers could come back to say. "U-use Earth techniques or something to kill this fucking flower!" instead of getting an answer she was expecting from her though, Helen was surprised when Deneve lewdly stuck her tongue out, blatantly offering her throat for the tentacle that used to be in her mouth. Was… was she offering herself to it?! What the flying fuck!?

"Deneve! What the fuck!?" she cried out with indignation.

The woman in question only gurgled in response, completely lost as her addiction reared its ugly head. Unfortunately for the two of them, Deneve was a straight up sex junkie to the point that even touching her when she was sufficiently hungry was enough to make her buckle, though she pointedly hid that fact from everyone but Helen and Naruto.

Helen's eyes went wide with realization when she saw the lustful look on her face. "Oh, shit..." Her skin lost its pigmentation; she knew what was about to happen next. All she could do is prepare herself for what was about to happen.

"C'mon," Deneve purred huskily to the plant, "give it to me~. Fuck my brains out, make me your bitch! Give me the fucking only you can provide with your thick, fucking tentacle-like cocks~!"

The plant didn't need any more provocation than that. Deneve let out a pleasured wail as her cootch was stuffed with a tentacle yet again. Then, another went and shoved itself into her ass, stretching out Deneve's anus and pussy so deliciously. Two more tentacles slithered up her stomach and coiled themselves around her tits and started squeezing them while the cock-shaped tips teased her nipples. Her toes curled and her juices gushed forth as Deneve let loose an earth-shattering, orgasmic wail as she felt her cunt and anus being fucked to oblivion. Her wail was muffled when a third tentacle shoved its way into her gob, and Deneve enthusiastically moaned and slurped around the vine while it happily fucked her throat.

Meanwhile, Helen was struggling against the vines and biting her lip to keep the pleasured moans in. No! She simply couldn't give in! She shook her head and inhaled and exhaled through her nose heavily, she was not going to give in so easily! The former Number 22's eyes nearly popped out of her skull and she did her damnedest not to mewl at the feel of a tentacle trying to wiggle its way into her ass. And when two more went and coiled themselves around her firm, well-rounded breasts and started kneading them, she almost cried out. Then the tentacle wiggling against her anus finally forced its way in, and the tentacles coiled around her bosom started rubbing against her nipples… it was like a dam had broken. Helen threw her head back and howled her enjoyment as she was finally getting a cunt and ass-pounding, the likes only Naruto can provide. It didn't stop there however, as the flower saw that her mouth was open; and so, it did the only thing when offered such an opportunity… it stuffed her mouth with a fifth veiny tentacle and plundered her mouth and throat to its hearts content.

A wide-eyed Helen mewled around the tentacle in her mouth, and closed her eyes as she tried to ignore the pleasure that was wracking her body. But, it was proving too much… Already, she could feel a guilty pleasure building in her loins. Every thrust brought her closer; every inch of her inner walls were being rubbed in all the right places; were it not for Naruto's dick being bigger, this damn plant would have ruined her for any man with all these vines. If she hadn't been fucked by him already, then this plant would have been the best fuck she ever had! It was both embrassassing and rage inducing to admit!

The plant didn't let up in its pleasurable assault upon the two women, even as it spouted several more vines to move their pieces of armour, swords and clothes to Team Miria's. Its tentacle wiggled in both womens cunts and anuses, rubbing them in all the right places, and drew even more muffled moans and mewlings out of them. Soon enough, Helen got into it and started sucking against the bulbous shaped tentacle in her mouth. She was all but lost as a paralyzing wave of pleasure wracked her to the very core.

If it were capable of speech, the plant would be mocking them right about now. Instead it merely hissed that had many rapid pauses - its form of laughter - as it fucked the two hybrids stupid with its thick-veiny vines. Bringing them both closer, the flower continued to play with its food for just a bit longer.

A close-eyed, and mewling Deneve was actively bucking her hips against the vines thrusting away at her pussy and anus. Her hands were bound together above her head, and the tentacles coiled around her bosom were now being used to titty-fuck another tentacle. The woman opened her eyes to glance at her friend, and found Helen was in the same state as she was. Completely overtaken by pleasure, and lost to the world as the plant gleefully and lewdly had its way with her. She closed her eyes once more and shuddered helplessly as yet another orgasm hit like a ton of bricks, having lost count of how many times she came.

Was… was this how Captain Miria and her team had lost? Stripped and fucked stupid by a plant that barely passed their foot? She had to get Undine and the rest of her team to take this simulation.

Helen and Deneve both squealed in pleasure as another wave of pleasure washed over them and the flower hissed once more. It was simply too hungry to play, anymore...Then it pulled the tentacles out of their mouths to listen to their pleasure addled voices directly. As it listened to the women moaning and mewling like a pair of whores, the plant contemplated on how it should end this… devour them one by one…? Or, devour them together? In the end, the sentient flora decided to take them one by one. It loved the way they would struggle in its stem as the realization they were going to die was setting in.

Starting with the pixie-haired nympho, the flower brought Deneve closer and its massive, circular maw spread wide open to reveal a red, fleshy inside with dripping mucus. Then, it engulfed her head and slowly started gulping her down with a series of lewd, noisy slurps. Almost immediately, Deneve started to struggle when she felt her head enveloped by the fleshy, dripping insides of the sunflower's bloom. Her struggles were weak, very weak, due to the tentacles in her ass and sex still pounding away at her. And she had been enduring the best sex, just behind her man, for what felt like hours. So her struggles were a lot weaker than they should be.

Of course, her struggling did not go unnoticed.

"D-DENEVE!" cried out Helen. Her eyes went wide with horrific realization as she saw the plant lewdly slurp her friend even further into its gullet. Deneve's sizable bosom disappeared into its mouth and the former Number 22 saw her friends head and shoulders stretching out the plant's stem to comical proportions. Baring her teeth with a fierce determination Helen started to struggle against her captor too with all her might, and even went so far as to bring out 20 percent of her yoki to increase her strength, to no avail.

Deneve's wriggling torso slipped in little by little, stopping at the hips, until she stiffened once more, her toes curling and a muffled squeal coming forth from within the flower's stem as she went limp. Then, the flower withdrew its tentacles from her abused ass and cunt before slurping down the rest of its meal in one long, fluid gulp.

Helen watched in horror as her friend's twitching form slipped down into the stem and stretching it out. The stem then shrank down upon her form like a second skin, and the feminine bulge started to move as Deneve screamed in panic, but only briefly. Soon after it stopped moving, the bulge lost its shape, shrinking down into an amorphous blob as Deneve was swiftly digested and gulped down towards the flower's roots.

"...Oh… oh, shit," Helen muttered as the lifeblood drained from her face. "S-so, this is how no bodies were left behind…" she let out a nervous laugh as the plant brought her to its gaping maw to devour her next. "H-hey, plant, you don't need to eat me. Y-you must be full right?" to her surprise, the plant stopped bringing her to it. Holy shit, that worked?! She mewled as the plant kept thrusting away at her cunt and anus. M-maybe she can convince it to let her go? "Y-yeah! You had a full meal already, p-plus, you had four more beforehand right?"

The flower tilted its head at her, pausing for just a moment.

"S-so if you just… let me go, I'll promise to never return! I'll even throw in a nice, uh… p-prize for you!" she paused again and tried to think of something else to sweeten the deal, "I'll even lure other people for you to enjoy! S-so, what do you say?"

The flower did nothing at first, her offer appearing to have appeased it… only for it to suddenly engulf her head.

"N-No! Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait dammit!" Helen cried out, her voice muffled greatly due to her head being enveloped by its massive, dripping mouth. The flower slowly started to gulp her down with loud, obscene, slurps. The former Number 22 struggled with everything she had against its deceivingly firm grip; but like before it was to no avail. The tentacles in her cunt and anus were still thrusting away, making her struggles weaker than they should be. Soon Helen felt her shoulders being enveloped next, and then her sizable bosom. She felt the tentacles unwrapping themselves from around her breasts as she slid in even more with one loud obscene slurp.

"Wait! J-j-just listen for a moment will ya'!?" Helen snapped at it, "If you eat me now, then… then how long will you have to wait for another meal?!"

The plant kept slurping and sucking her in, little by little, only to stop at the hips upon hearing her speak. By now Helen's head, shoulders and torso were stretching out the stem at comical proportions, just like her friend had done.

"Y-yeah! I can bring you more meals! Weekly, even! A-and if you eat me, then… who knows how long you'll be w-waiting for... a-another… another one? GAH!" Helen stiffened and gurgled, her toes curled as one last orgasm washed over her. Despite the situation, her body simply couldn't help but enjoy what this damn thing was doing to it. Truth be told, Helen had the right idea; only, there was one problem: the flower was hungry… and stupid. There was no reasoning with it, simply because it lacked the intelligence for such a thing.

Then, Helen was slurped on down in one fluid motion and everything faded to white as the feminine bulge stopped moving, was rapidly digested into goo, and swallowed down to its roots like Deneve was.

----

When the simulation ended, Deneve bolted on over to Naruto and tackled him to the ground and proceeded to snog the daylights out of him. The blond in question wasn't surprised; knowing how sexually active his woman can get if the right buttons were pushed, he was expecting this outcome the moment the simulation ended.

Helen came out moments after and started going after his dick. The second his prick sprang free from its confinements Helen opened her mouth wide and took him into her gob in one fluid motion. Then she started bobbing her head up and down on his dick like a woman possessed.

He groaned into Deneve's mouth as Helen went to town on him. Sometimes he just loved his life.

----

Thanks to the condition Naruto had given them, neither Helen nor Deneve were allowed to tell anyone who the enemy in this new simulation was. It made things more genuine as well - the less people that know of the plant, the better their threat assessment would be. If they already knew then it wouldn't even be a threat assessment.

Of course, seeing as she was with Undine when Helen came and abducted her, Deneve was not surprised in the slightest when her Captain sought her out immediately. Needless to say, the woman was not expecting to find her second in command actively trying to make a baby with the man they shared - in the open, no less!

The things she said, too… It was nothing short of shocking and left the two of them rather flustered for some time thereafter.

"So…" Undine started after everything settled down and the three of them away from Naruto's listening ears, "what was it that you were doing in there?" she looked at the simulation to let them know what she was talking about.

"We were taking part in a new simulation." Helen answered with a sheepish grin, "We can't tell you what it's about though."

Undine quirked an eyebrow, "Oh? And why not?"

"It's a threat assessment type of simulation." Deneve answered, "If everyone knew about it, then there's not much of a point in anyone taking part if they knew what to look for."

"Really?" Well that caught her interest. A simulation that requires someone to assess threats rather than fighting them? That's a breath of fresh air. "So what happened? How come you two took part in it yourselves?"

"That was my fault, admittedly," Helen answered sheepishly. "Miria's team took part in the simulation and lost in under a minute. I wanted to do it with Deneve just so I could rub it in her face that we beat it by ourselves… it didn't turn out the way we were expecting it to,"

Undine's expression brightened. So the uppity woman's entire team were defeated in under a minute? Okay, now she really wants to take part in this simulation! She'll get her team involved too, maybe get Glissa dragged in - she and Zelda get along swimmingly, and the girl proved to be quite the teammate, though the former Number 11 never thought she'd say such a thing about an awakened being of all things.

A wide menacing grin spread across her face, "Alright, Deneve come with me. We're getting the team together."

The woman in question blinked in surprise, "...you're going to do the simulation aren't you?"

"Of course," scoffed Undine, "I'll be getting Glissa. She works well with Zelda. Once we get everyone together, we'll take this simulation on and win."

Deneve shrugged and gestured for her Captain to lead the way. "I'll talk to you soon, Helen," the pixie-haired blonde said to her friend, as she followed Undine.

"Yeah," Helen waved Deneve goodbye. Then she began to plot herself, "I'm going to get my Captain to take this simulation with our team if it's the last thing I do…" she cackled evilly to herself.

----

Naruto was not surprised to see Undine again with Deneve by her side. He was even less surprised to see Zelda and Glissa were with them. Undine and Zelda were garbed in their old uniforms, while Deneve was wearing her 'newer' black outfit and Glissa was still wearing her thong, leotard outfit. He saw the look in Undine's silver eyes and he knew at that moment his wife was here to partake in the simulation again.

"I take it you're here for this?" he asked, jerking a thumb over his shoulder at the inactive simulation behind him.

"You know it!" Undine chirped with a confident grin. "I hear Team Miria got their asses kicked in under a minute, and that Helen and Deneve themselves lost. I thought I'd take a crack at it with the rest of my team."

"I changed clothes, to show everyone else that I lost." Deneve added on with a bored look on her face.

"Oh… that explains that, then," Naruto said, chuckling with a smile. "Alright, do you have any idea what you're looking for?" He wanted to make sure none of the other three knew what they were going to be up against.

"Nope. Deneve's been rather tight-lipped on that." Undine replied with a shrug. "I'd rather know what we're going to be up against, but it makes sense that this sim would have a few surprises, so I won't force anyone to spoil them."

Naruto smiled approvingly, "That's good. There are missions where you have little to no information on what you're going to be up against. This simulation is meant to replicate that. The less you know the better. So, I take it you want a debriefing?"

Undine nodded, "Please."

"Alright… I'll change it up a bit, but first…" Naruto turned around and pressed his hand against the barrier. A black void slithered on up along the barrier within and kept everyone from seeing the otherside. "This simulation is taking place in a forest. Team Miria, plus Helen and Deneve have gone missing when they went in. Team Miria for investigating missing people, and Helen and Deneve, for going inside to find out where they had gone. Deneve, we're going to say you and Helen got separated and she disappeared. You all are going in there to find out what happened to Helen, and the team before her."

"Do we know who the enemy is?" Glissa asked.

Naruto shook his head. "No. But due to Helen and Team Miria going missing though, you all suspect it's an awakened being or two which is why you brought Glissa along. There's also an unconfirmed rumour of an experiment gone wrong that took place in there. But no one's been able to confirm it."

"How come?" Zelda asked.

"Anyone that tired, went inside the forest and never came back out. That's been happening for... at least seven years. Possibly more." Naruto took his hand off the barrier, "Alright, that's it. Oh, and one more thing: you have to survive this simulation. Fighting and defeating your foe is a secondary objective and not vital to winning. Good luck you four."

Undine scoffed confidently, "We'll pass this sim with flying colours! Let's go you three!" With that, the former Number 11 delved through the barrier. Deneve walked in after her, with Glissa and Zelda being the last ones through. The barrier solidified behind them and the black void eased down to the ground giving Naruto full view on their progress.

----

As she stepped on through to the otherside of the barrier Deneve was already familiar with the landscape of this simulation. The overgrown flora and fauna were in different places than she remembered them being though. She quirked an eyebrow at that; how curious, did that mean every person and team would end up in a new 'spawn point' when they took part in this sim? That was rather genius.

"Oh my… those are some rather large mushrooms." Glissa thought aloud. "So, where to now Captain?" the dark haired awakened one asked, looking to Undine with expectancy.

"We go further in." the woman said with a confident smirk, "Find out if we can see what happened to Helen and Team Miria. Let's go and stick together. If there are awakened beings here then I want us to be ready to take them out the second they show themselves!"

"Right," the three replied in unison.

And with that Team Undine, plus Glissa, delved further into the forest generated sim with a single thought in mind: finding out what happened to Helen and Team Miria. Or in the worst case scenario, where their remains are. Of course, due to them being in a different place, Deneve had no idea where to go. So she wouldn't be able to lead them to the flower anyway.

"I don't sense anything," Zelda said with a suspicious tone. Her narrowed eyes glanced in every direction in search for their quarry. "This awakened being must be good at suppressing their yoki."

Deneve wanted to correct her so bad… that it wasn't an awakened being... but she didn't. The short-haired woman kept her lips sealed. Eventually, after minutes of walking, stepping over logs, bushes, and small-sized boulders Team Undine finally found the clearing Deneve and Helen were at just minutes before. And like the last time the rest of the clearing was blocked off by the flora and fauna, only showing the deceptively harmless sunflower in the middle. And Deneve knew they had gone in at a new spawn point, because they were looking at the flower from the side, rather than its back.

As they slowly entered the clearing to see if there were any clues lying about, the whole damn team knew something was amiss.

Deneve already knew something was off. She's been here before after all. Still, she kept quiet… though she couldn't help but rub her thighs together with anticipation for what was to come.

There was thousands upon thousands of clothing items strewn about the clearing. All of them seemed to circle around the lone flower, which happened to be the only place that was left clear. Team Undine took out their swords. and all except Deneve looked around with caution.

"What...the...fuck...?" Zelda hissed with wide eyes. "How many victims are there?!"

As Undine, Zelda and Glissa moved into the clearing, they didn't notice Deneve was trailing back behind them. Purposely keeping a distance from them as they got more and more closer to the middle.

"Thousands... we weren't told only their clothes were left behind!" Glissa said. She frowned and sniffed at the air. "Is that… fear I smell?" I certainly seemed so… Stepping a bit closer to the center, she took another whiff. "Fear.... arousal and… death? I… think it's coming from the flower."

Once again, Deneve didn't say anything. Though, the heavy blush on her face was quite telling. Thankfully, she was behind the three of them - fairly far behind them - so, they didn't see the reddening cheeks.

"I uh… shit, I think I found them," Zelda muttered, eyeballing the swords strewn about among the clothes. She could see the uniforms and pieces of armour, too. Helen's being amongst them. Naruto didn't have Deneve's outfit and sword shown for this sim, however, seeing as how she was participating.

Undine had seen and heard enough. She drew her swords and bulked up, before releasing ten percent of her yoki and giving the flower. "Cowardly, little shit, turning into an innocent, little flower so you could hide yourself from us… Show me your true form, bitch, and fight me!" Not waiting for the plant to reply, she charged forth with a sadistic grin.

"Captain, wait!" Zelda cried out too late. Undine was already bringing her claymores down on top of it.

The flower hissed and sent forth several viney tentacles out to grab Undine, but she was too quick, slicing through the limbs like a hot knife through butter. Then she severed the thing's 'head' and chopped it to bits. Its stem bled green ichor from where its 'head' was severed.

"Huh… Well, that was rather anticlimactic," Glissa commented. "I was expecting it to put up more of a fight." she sheathed her sword with a chuckle.

"Yeah…" Undine sighed, before sheathing her swords and reverting back down to normal, Zelda and Deneve doing the same.

"...I didn't sense it using yoki." Zelda pointed out. "That's rather… suspicious." She then looked to Deneve and asked, "I know you can't say anything, but what do you make of this?" she and the others took note how far away she was from them but didn't say anything.

"Naruto did say this forest was where an experiment gone wrong had taken place." the pixie-haired woman answered.

Undine hummed thoughtfully. "Very true… I guess that flower was the experiment, then?"

"That or just the result… definitely not an awakened being," Deneve replied with a nod, she then looked around and frowned, "Strange… Why hasn't the sim ended?"

Her question was answered by several vines snatching up Glissa, Zelda, and Undine while their backs were turned, drawing two startled yelps and an undignified squawk from them. The flower, now full back to full bloom, had removed their swords from their scabbards and bound their arms above their heads.

For a brief moment, Deneve could only stare - first out of shock, then out of embarrassment. Forcing herself to do something upon hearing an indignant Undine barking at her, the former Number 15 drew her sword and charged, before faceplanting in a pathetic, comical heap as a vine slithered around, wrapping itself around her ankle, and lifted Deneve off the ground.

"My hero…" Undine muttered, rolling her eyes. Then, she yelped and closed her legs upon feeling one of the vines very deliberately caressing her sex. "Gah! What the hell?!"

"W-what's it doing? Gah!" Zelda squawked, closing her legs as well when one of the vines deliberately caressed her sex as well.

"Th-this is what happened last time!" a very flustered Deneve squeaked, trying to break free from its grasp before she lost control and embarrassed herself. "There's no point in withholding information, now; that thing is going to **** and eat us!" She still had her claymore, so maybe there was still a chance for her to escape!

Alas, it was all for naught… Deneve realized that the instant she brought her sword down upon the vines and found herself unable to cut through. "Oh, you have got to be kidding me!" she groaned. These vines were thicker, broader; and of course intimately familiar to her. "The vines are tougher than they look!"

"So how the hell are we going to get out of this?!" Zelda yelled out indignantly.

"...Glissa!" Undine barked, an idea sparked within her, "You can transform! Turn into your awakened form and rip these vines apart!"

"Way ahead of you, Captain!" The elf-eared brunette released her yoki and shifted into her awakened form without a second thought. Her hair twisted into a mass of black, writhing tentacles as her skin turned green and her sclera turned black, her irises turned gold, and her pupils slit. Golden metal plates formed on her arms and legs, her finger and toe nails morphing into razor-sharp claws. Her awakened form filled out her brown jerkin, and sleeveless black thong leotard quite nicely, giving her a fuller bust, curves and womanly hips. Her lips curled back to reveal her new fangs as the former Number 45 roared in exertion, trying her damnedest to break free. The vines creaked in protest, but didn't break. She clicked her tongue in irritation and tried extending her claws to scratch and cut at the vines, causing the flower to hiss at her, but all she seemed to do was irritate the damn thing.

"Don't hiss at me, you little SHIT!" Glissa snarled viciously, her struggles were just barely able to overpower the tentacles, but several more shot forth to help and keep her pinned. "Put us down the FUCK down, or you'll be in for a world of hurt!" she promised before biting down on one of the vines. She was unable to break skin, however. It was tough enough to withstand a cut from a claymore, so it wasn't that much of a surprise it was able to withstand a yoki-powered chomp from her. It did seem to hurt, though...

The flower hissed once more and started violently shaking the brunette with the vine in her mouth, in an attempt to get her to let go. It gave her a few swats on the rear for good measure, drawing a yelp from her every time and ultimately got her to let go. Now, the flower was pissed. It was going to focus on her, first. It was going to focus on her and make everyone else watch!

The first to go were the modest bits of armour she wore on her arms and legs, followed by her jerkin and then her slutty, black thong leotard. Once that was out of the way, the flower produced a particularly thick vine, with throbbing veins, and a suspicious bulge at the tip, much to the collective shock, horror and embarrassment of the four women. It was even ripped for her pleasure. The vine slithered forth and then Glissa shrieked in rage and indignation at the feel of it poking at her sex.

"Don't you FUCKING DARE! ONLY MY MATE CAN TOUCH ME THERE YOU FUCKING PLANT!!" Glissa bellowed viciously, her struggling was now more ferocious and she used her strength to bring one of the vines to her mouth and tried to bite down on it.

The flower heaved Glissa's wrist away from her mouth and shoved that large, dick-like vine right into her cootch. The former Number 45 squawked and gurgled, her eyes rolling back at the sensation of having her cunt stretched out so deliciously wide and feeling so deliciously full. Only Naruto's glorious dick surpassed how good this felt~!

"Glissa!" Zelda cried out in dismay.

"Glissa! Snap out of it!" Undine barked commandingly, though her eyes were wide with a franticness only a team leader could have.

The brunette shook her head and snarled at the flower, goaded by her friend and captain. "I WILL FUCKING MURDER YOU!!" Her eyes glowed a demonic gold as she brought more of her yoki to the surface. She was going to break out of this and tear this plant to shreds! No! She was going to rip it out by the roots and eat it! Her eyes nearly popped out of her skull at the sensation of the plant pulling out and shoving itself into her ass, using the lubrication from her dripping cunt to slide right on in. Then, another 'dick' vine sprouted forth and slithered on up to take its place. "U-urk…" Glissa trembled at the sensations washing over her. She could feel the heat coming off of her cheeks, realization washing over her that she was being made the bitch of a damn plant.

"Glissa! Use your chakra or something! Use lightning! O-or earth!" Zelda told her with wide eyes. Those two cock-vines were utterly wrecking her! She had to do something now or she'll be nothing more than a cocksleeve for it!

"I can't without making handseals!" Glissa cried out. "My wrists are bound!"

The four women heard the flower hiss in a suspicious manner at that.

'DON'T LAUGH AT ME YOU SON OF A BITCH!" She shouted at it with wide eyes, "YOU'RE NOTHING MORE THAN A COWARDLY, LITTLE SHIT WHO LIKES TO TAKE PEOPLE BY SURPRISE! YOU DON'T GET TO LAUGH!"

The flower's response was to start viciously pounding the awakened brunette. There was no rhythm to it either. All it wanted to do was show the bitch in its grasp who's boss - to show who was the apex predator, here. And that apex predator was the plant, not her. Not her friends who were also bound and watching. It was the plant! And it would show it in the most demeaning way possible!

It spawned another bulbous shaped tentacle, a much thicker one with throbbing veins and it hovered in front of the awakened bitches mouth. Once she opens her gob, it'll take advantage of it and plunder her mouth and throat and truly destroy her. But first, it increased the pace of the thrusting tentacles that are currently pummeling Glissa's ass and cunt to oblivion. Her tits were jiggling nicely with every thrust into her cootch and anus, too. Those were far too tempting not to be put to use. A few of the vines holding her in place slithered down and started coiling around her breasts, the tips playing with the black nipples as the awakened, green-skinned brunette was raped into submission.

"Glissa! Get ahold of yourself!" Undine barked, but the awakened one was completely unresponsive. Or seemed to be. Glissa was struggling to escape still, though her struggles was getting more and more subdued with each passing second. The former Number 11 growled and drew upon her yoki - as the leader of this team it falls to her to protect those under her charge. And there is no way in hell she's going to stop doing that now! With that thought Undine's frail, petite form began to bulk out with muscles. "OI! Plant! Pick on someone your own size!"

The flower hissed as its vines creaked in protest, struggling to contain the woman. It shot two more out at her to hold her wrists down and promptly drew a pleasured yelp from her by swatting the former Number 11 on the rear. It also let go of her legs and focused all of its vines on the woman's wrists for good measure.

"Y-you think a f-f-few spanks, and vines are going to hold me down? Think again you dumb fuck of a plant!" Undine roared with exertion and brought her arms down in front of her. The vines groaned in protest as it tried to keep her arms above her head. This one was stronger than she looked… and that was saying something. Good. It liked its victims struggling.

Glissa wailed in unwanted orgasm as a wave of guilty pleasure wracked her being. With her mouth wide open so invitingly… the flower sprung into action. The vine in front of her mouth lunged forth and slipped into her gob before she could react.

"Gak!" Glissa's glowing, golden eyes grew wide as the thick, throbbing veiny tentacle started fucking her mouth and throat at the same time. She gagged in protest at the intrusion and her struggles renewed with twice the vigor. Again, the vines creaked, but didn't break. She bit down on the vine in her gob and shook her head with a vicious growl, much like a dog as she kept on fighting, bringing all of her yoki to bear.

Sadly it didn't work. Not completely. While she was unable to bite it off with her sharp teeth, Glissa was able to make it as discomforting as possible. But that wasn't a problem for this plant. It brought her closer and opened its gaping maw withdrawing the tentacle in her mouth, before engulfing her mouth with what sounded like an enthusiastic 'nom'. Then, it started slurping and gulping the brunette down, stopping at the hips, before tripling the pace of its sexual assault. Glissa squealed in panic as she did her damnedest to fight back, not giving up even in the face of death.

"Glissa!" Zelda cried out in shock and horror. Holy shit, this thing was going to eat them! Was this what happened to the others?! Was this what Deneve had to go through?!

"She's finished," Deneve said solemnly. Though she was trembling with anticipation for when her turn comes up. Everyone else, when they turned to look at her, thought it was because she was afraid. "Once it gets you in its mouth, there's no escape… unless…"

"U-unless...?" Zelda asked, she was up for anything at this point!

"If Glissa is able to use her claws and cut her way out from the inside, then we would have a chance of beating this thing." she took a deep breath and exhaled shakingly, "It's a long shot, but it's all we have… the question is: can she even do it? Once you're fully inside its stem, the plant digests you in a matter of seconds."

Glissa wailed once more in pleasure as another orgasm wracked her frame and her struggles waned. Then, the flower happily gulped and slurped her down. But it was in for a nasty surprise. Glissa brought her hands to her chest and attempted something. "Raiton: Kangekiha!" The flower hisses and squealed in pain as thousands of volts of electricity shot through it from the brunette. Then, with a loud, muffled roar she swiped her clawed hands out and sliced through the stem. A spray of green ichor gushed from the wound as Glissa pulled it open and gasped for air. "Motherfucker! I will eat you back out of sheer spite!"

Then she turned around grabbed the hissing plant by the stem and yanked it out of the ground. The tentacles holding everyone else up slackened and they were dropped to the ground, just as Glissa tore her teeth into the flower and ate it ravenously. She was a woman of her word, after all, and pissed off as all hell.

Then the simulation faded to white.
