Naruto held up the pitcher of glowy bits with a flourish. "Essence ready, pouring in the Mixer."
"Mixer ready," said Hinata, standing by the stove.
"Okay, stir it while it simmers," said Naruto as he handed Hinata a white lab coat and a pair of dark glasses.
"Right," said Hinata, putting the two on, then discovering it was too dark to see and moved the glasses to atop her head.
This does not fill me with great confidence, said Sakura's spirit.
"Switching on essence purifier," said Naruto, turning on a couple of copper orbs sitting atop copper pipes that immediately began sending little electrical discharges back and forth.
"Stirring," said Hinata, as she began stirring the stew on the stove.
Uhm, I'm really begining to get concerned here, said Sakura's spirit.
"Anti-evil-spirit barrier, switch ON!" said Naruto, throwing a knife switch.
Evil spirits? asked Sakura.
Little discs began throwing sparks up. A glowing purple circle formed around the lab area.
What evil spirits? asked Sakura.
SCREEECH! went something vaporous that nonetheless seemed to have more fangs and claws than was reasonable.
AHHHHHHHHHHH! summed up Sakura as she saw the whatever-it-was clawing at an invisible barrier.
"Purifier warmed up," said Naruto as he looked into the weird gadget.
"Her glowy bits melted into glowy sludge," noted Hinata. "Is that supposed to happen?"
What's that floating down from the ceiling?! exclaimed Sakura, pointing. It fell in the pot! Waitaminute. Hinata! You turned off your Byakugan! Turn it back on!
"La da dii da dee da," sung Naruto to himself as he adjusted knobs. "Let's see. Spiritus Desirae Revelation!"
"What was that?" asked Hinata as Naruto cast a spell on what had been an empty box.
"Oh, it's a spell to materialize the desires of a spirit about to return to life," said Naruto, looking up. "I've got a book called 'Spells For Any Occasion' - and it's really weird how many odd situations are in there."
"I guess so," said Hinata.
"Huh?!" asked Naruto as he opened the box. "That's weird."
WHAT'S WEIRD?! asked Sakura. Then realized she could just go over there and look in the box. Huh? Is that one of my desires? I don't think so.
"Here we go," said Naruto, taking it over and dumping it into the pot.
"Was that... a bra?" asked Hinata.
"Mine not to wonder why," said Naruto. "Because if I DO wonder why, Sakura will probably hit me."
I'm not that bad.
"Y-yes, you're probably right," said Hinata, stirring the stuff into the pot, and somewhat surprised when the stuff DID melt in there.
"Hmmm, nice and gooey," said Naruto, who then went and checked the page of 'Mad Sorcery For Fun And Profit' that he'd propped open. "Okay. Now I prepare the mold."
Just say no fungus! insisted Sakura.
"I don't see one," said Hinata after checking around.
"Oh no, it's formed of magical force," said Naruto. "If you could pour it in while I maintain it?"
"Oh, yes," said Hinata.
Naruto made a couple of gestures, checked another book, and cast it.
At one point, Sakura felt herself being sucked down into the Sakura-sized brick that Naruto had formed. She couldn't help but scream.
Eventually though it finished, and Naruto let the mold break apart into a burst of pink light.
Sakura stood there, apparently asleep.
"Uhm," said Hinata. "She didn't have those did she? She didn't have that much of a figure before."
Naruto looked at Sakura's chest. "No, and I'm really not sure where the costume came from."
"Those aren't part of a costume, are they?" asked Hinata, indicating:
