The Hungry Ninja - Page 245 - Hinata can wait, salvage the Tongue - By JohnQ - Overview
“We’re going to seize the Behemoth’s Tongue,” Temari said firmly. “Our orders are to retrieve the artifact intact.”

“Are you nuts?!” Ino cried. “We can’t worry about that anymore! Look what she did to Hinata!”

“I know!” Temari said. “But how do you know the Tongue isn't required to return her to normal? Anyway, the faster we retrieve the artifact, the faster we can make Marunomi spit her up.”

“Right…I understand,” Ino said. She might not like Temari’s rigid adherence to the mission, but Temari was still the team leader, and working with her on a good-enough plan would be much more help to Hinata than arguing for what she thought would be a better plan. She watched Marunomi carefully with her sensory jutsu. “But we need to hurry. The Tongue was overflowing with chakra before she got Hinata, but now there’s barely any. Its chakra is slowly increasing, though, so we should grab it before she can use it again.”

“Got it,” Temari said, and lowered her voice to a whisper. “Get ready to cast your Mind Transfer jutsu. I'll distract her until you signal me, then I’ll restrain her. Take over her body then give me the Behemoth’s Tongue. Once I secure it, make her spit up Hinata if you can and we’ll take her in. Good?”

“Yes,” Ino whispered back, “I’ll need you to hold her still for just a few seconds.” Mind Transfer was always a risky maneuver in battle: if she failed, she'd be left near-lifeless for several seconds, a terrible risk in the face of a competent enemy. But with Hinata’s life already on the line, it was hardly the time to play it safe.

“Did you just come here to chat?” Marunomi asked. She could hardly mind if they chattered away until the Behemoth’s Tongue was fully charged, but it wouldn’t do to let them come up with a good plan. “Well, if you’re just tenderizing your vocal chords, let me tenderize the rest of you.” She charged at them, holding her arms out to deliver a double lariat. But per their plan, Ino leapt far out of the way of Marunomi's attack, while Temari blocked the attack with her fan and forced Marunomi into close-quarters combat. While Marunomi and Temari exchanged a flurry of blows, Ino channeled her chakra and prepared her Mind Transfer jutsu. In a matter of seconds, she was ready.

"Now!" Ino cried. Temari slammed her fan into Marunomi’s chest, and, without loosening her grip, flipped over Marunomi, landed behind her, pulled the fan towards herself as hard as she could, and swung to face Ino. For the moment, Marunomi was stuck in a perfect position for Ino to show off her specialty.

Temari watched Ino’s jutsu crawl across the ground like a desert tortoise as she desperately tried to overcome Marunomi’s wild resistance. She lost her grip and reeled backwards when Marunomi finally managed to smash her head into Temari's face, but Marunomi hadn’t even taken a step before she stopped still.

Temari tried to blink the stars out of her eyes. She looked at Marunomi with caution, but growing hope. Was she actually looking at Ino in Marunomi’s body? Certainly Ino’s body was frozen solid.

“Got her,” Ino said from Marunomi’s body, as she turned Marunomi's wrist over to get at the straps on the Behemoth’s Tongue. A bit of tension slipped out of Temari. “Now I’ll just—UGH!” Marunomi's free hand paused on its way to the device's straps, and began to shake.

“Ino?!” Temari cried.

“She’s…resisting.” Ino bit out the words. The jutsu had succeeded, the Behemoth’s Tongue was almost in her grasp, but Marunomi’s consciousness was still fighting her. Marunomi was one of the strongest-willed enemies Ino had ever encountered. It felt like she was trying to swim through mochi. But she had to persevere, not just for the mission, but for her safety and that of her teammates. One centimeter at a time, she pulled one of the two buckles loose.

“COME ON, INO! YOU CAN DO IT!” Temari yelled, moving towards Marunomi's body.
