"~Wheeere are you, sweet dumpling? Come out, come out, wherever you are!~"
Marunomi was scanning around her surroundings while searching for her prey in a playful manner. She knew that the Konoha ninja was somewhere within the thick underbrush of the forest. She could practically taste the fear radiating off the Hyuga girl.
Though the more she searched, the more her stomach growled in hunger. Clearly it was not going to wait for Marunomi to find her prey. This in turn made her impatient.
"Ugh! This is seriously taking too long!" Marunomi then shouted out to the forest clearly wanting the Konoha ninja to hear. "Okay little girl! I'm giving you this one chance to come out and join your little friends in my belly or I'm going to flush you out myself!"
Marunomi was only met with silence as a response to her threat.
"Okay fine then! I'm going to be giving you a sample of my real power! You asked for this!"
It was at those words that Marunomi lifted her arm up and pulled it back as far as she could. She began to focus chakra into her arm until it began to glow. Then, with one fell swoop, she swung her arm in an arc unleashing a devastating wave of energy. The resulting burst of chakra completely decimated a huge chunk of the forest leaving dozens of trees toppled over. Once the commotion had settled, Marunomi surveyed the area, but still did not find Hinata.
"Hmm...not there." She then faced another direction of the forest, pulled her arm back, and fired another devastating wave. Once again, though, she found no pearl-eyed ninja.
This got Marunomi growing more frustrated and hungry, "Ugh! Come on, Hyuga girl! You know that you can't keep hiding from me as I could keep this up all day! Your friends are providing me with all of the chakra that I need!"
Before she could continue her rampage, a loud gurgling noise echoed throughout the forest. Marunomi looked down and saw that it was her belly causing the commotion. Marunomi gave out a menacing grin as she placed a hand upon her large abdomen, from which she could practically feel the fluids beginning to bubble and brew from within it. The sensation helped to calm Marunomi's annoyance as she continued to stroke her big belly as an idea formed in her mind.
“Do you hear that, Little Girl?” cried Marunomi towards the forest thicket. “The digestion process has just begun. In less than an hour, your little friends will be nothing but a nice soupy mix in my belly. Yeah nothing but extra padding on my body as well as extra chakra for me to use. So what will it be?”
Marunomi smiled as she drummed her fingers all over her mammoth mound as she waited for her prey to respond.
"How will you respond, my sweet rabbit?"

Hinata panicked at her current dilemma. She had just discovered a weakness in Marunomi's defenses only to have obstacle after obstacle thrown at her. The latest deciding whether to throw herself into her predator's jaws or continue to find a solution.
"What do I do?! What do I do?! If I continue pondering like this my friends are going to be digested. If I give up then I will end up in her belly anyways!"
The Hyuuga pondered up until...
**What Happens now?
