AN: So guess who is back everyone? After years of hiatus I am finally back to writing fics. Well sorta. Look I won't beat around the bush I have left my fics unattended for a very long time. I deserve the controlled level of criticism I've received for all my hiatus. But please understand this is life, I have one outside of writing my smut and fantasies. In the time I was gone, I've left the service in the USMC and have worked on carving out a decent living to keep my head afloat. I've had to get my heart broken multiple times by women I never even been in a relationship with, how sad and pathetic is that? I've also lost good people in my life in the last few years. So please keep that in mind if I end up disappearing again.
Anyways enough on my own personal dilemmas, I know this is probably not the fic my readers want to see updated. Venom Kunoichi is still by far my most popular work easily overshadowing all my other works. Funny considering it's probably my least organized fic and was merely a mashing of ideas I had. So why Malice? Well in short it is my most full fleshed out story, plot wise. And please don't interpret that as meaning the story is complete. Don't get your hopes up. It is just that I have a huge amount of plot already thought out and it is just a matter of managing my time to type everything out. Trust me if you like VK you will love how this story will develop. I feel this is something truly grand. Mind you all that I have a job to contend with and my social and personal life to maintain. So don't expect my return to guarantee an onslaught of updates or new stories. Although I do have a few story ideas I want to get out there just to scratch my mental itch to get them out there. Malice will have my primary focus. And of course as you will see from the description. This is a relaunch ladies and gents. Luckily Malice was not very well focused on so I only had to relaunch on just two chapters that were previously posted. Eventually I'll get back to work on VK and relaunch Shinku Arashi. I have no say in when that will happen. So for now Malice will be steadily updated and there maybe a potential title change down the line. I'm still debating it. Anyways without further a due, here is the first chapter in the relaunch, enjoy!

0: A Grand Plan
"NOOOOOOOOOO!"
A monstrous scream echoed under the ferocious roars of igniting rocket boosters. The once man turned monster was now forcibly having his humanity thrust back upon him. Barely covering this man's muscular body was a sentient amorphous organism called a symbiote. It would attach itself to a host improved them physically and mentally, and fed off their emotions and bodily chemicals. Depending on the host it would usually be a very codependent relationship.
"Damn you Parker…"
The man weakly cried while collapsing to the cold hard metal walkway, the symbiote peeling off his body due to the mighty roar of the rockets behind him. His name is Eddie Brock, a former reporter of the Daily Bugle turned revenge driven super human known as Venom, soon to be was Venom. With the loud screeching roar of the space shuttle launching from its platform the symbiote could not hold its bond with Eddie.
Watching the alien suit peel off Eddie was Peter Parker as his superhero alter ego, Spiderman. It was his last minute plan born out of desperation. The living nightmare that was Venom was faster, stronger and cleverer, but a chance destination arrival and quick thinking yielded a victory for the Web Head once again. Acting quickly Spiderman restrained the symbiote in webbing. Binding the creature up in a multilayered near air tight spherical cocoon. Trapped in its webbing prison the symbiote was pinned onto the departing space shuttle.
'This won't kill it but it will trap it in space for the time being. Let's hope atmospheric reentry will kill it when the time comes. 'Spiderman thought breathing a sigh of relief as he quickly moved the now unconscious Eddie Brock to the platform elevator to avoid having the now powerless adversary incinerated by the takeoff blast.
Outside the launch pad military police authorities were quickly being dispatched to intercept Spiderman. Seeing that it was a clear sign to leave and knowing Eddie Brock wasn't in any immediate danger. The friendly neighborhood wall-crawler took off.
The symbiote continued to struggle against its web bindings. In a constant weakening state due to the engine noises the symbiotic mass could not free itself from its prison. Unknown to the symbiote, Eddie, and Peter, their struggle and battle against one another was observed by an unknown figure. He stood ominously in the skies somehow invisible and unseen by all as he watched Spiderman defeat Venom. He wore a Romanesque golden armor around his humanoid body with an adjoining red cape. His features were devoid of anything distinct besides his pure white eyes and a very prominent bald head. As the large space shuttle began to jettison its boosters the spacecraft was on a direct collision course with the humanoid being. But instead of impacting the shuttle merely passed through the body showing that this being was not just invisible but intangible as well. He turned his head to see the shuttle fly past him but unnervingly enough it seemed as if he was looking at more than just the shuttle as if he had some sort of audience.
I am Aron, a Watcher or I was. I am better known now as the Rogue Watcher. My race of ancient hyper intelligent life forms have for eons chosen to observe and study all aspects of the known universe called 616. My forerunners had chosen to merely observe as means of their policy of non-interference. Instilled upon them due to a past mistake, a chaotic disaster yielded from good intent. The Watchers, my people are forever afraid to interact with any of the lesser beings. My uncle however Uatu has forsaken the Watcher ways for what he has seen as the better good.
I too have forsaken the Watcher oath. But unlike my Uncle, I do not do what I do for the better good…no I do what I do to see my ideas play out. To see effects my tinkering can yield on an entire universe. Thus is why I am here observing a planet no…a universe just outside the normal range of the other Watchers but still similar enough to the core universe 616. This is Universe 92131, one that has similar unique life forms but have yet go through all of the same course altering events as its much more developed counterpart.
It was cold, scared, and alone once again. It found a worthy host; one that it felt would surely evolve past its predecessors. Then it was rejected, found salvation with a vengeful man and sought to make its previous host pay. Ultimately its worthy host was far too adaptive and just out of chance lucky enough to overcome the symbiote. Revenge proved to be its folly and rather than move on it was now stranded in space once again. Set adrift for maybe even an eternity now. There was no telling when the next living host would come by.
"Cold…alone…need new host…"
The symbiote thought morbidly as it continued to struggle against its web cage. The white material eventually giving way having been weakened the heat quickly being generated by solar radiation, if the symbiote did not seek shelter soon it would also succumb to the solar radiation as well. But with nowhere to go and no host to survive off of the symbiote could only do what it had done before to survive prolonged interstellar travel. It would sleep until opportunity would present itself. Managing to squeeze between what was meant to be an environmentally sealed hull, the symbiote penetrated the seals keeping the atmosphere of the ship separated from the deep space void. It was a pain staking and draining matter nearly exhausting the amorphic creature into a disbanded unconscious state that would have truly marooned it in space.
It would seem that the rather intelligent yet still very primal parasite has settled into its new shelter. Worry not my sentient parasitic guinea pig. You will not be alone for much longer. I have seen your future for it is nothing but failed vendetta, exile, and once again solitary loneliness in an even deeper darker void. You will be used by a Demigod in his ploy to break free of his own imprisonment and seek domination of the universe. But I will change that, for you will be used in my own plans.
In a different galaxy, a different universe altogether, there exists a world where the warrior class of Ninja rules. Built upon a history of supernatural beasts, bloody wars, secrets, lies, and betrayals, one part of this society, an individual village stands out from the rest. This village is called Konohagakure no Sato. Its history shrouded in bloodshed between wince allies and brother clans clashing, to facing near annihilation at the claws of a nine tailed vulpine that quite literally embodied destruction and wrath. But it seemed with every near collision with destruction. Konoha rose up stronger than ever.
In the aftermath of its most recent near apocalypse, the combined warrior class of Konoha struggled to prevent the Biju, Kyubi no Yoko from destroying their beloved home and land. Only at the cost of their most skilled, powerful, and loved Warrior Leader, the Yondaime Hokage. Did Konoha survive and prosper. The creature of such great power was not however killed but instead imprisoned. Within the navel of an infant child was such destructive force sealed. Unknown to the citizens of Konoha, this lone child was the newborn son of their beloved deceased leader. It would seem that forgoing such information only yielded detrimental effect. Ignorance, fear, and feelings of loss would drive these people to view a mere child as a monster. With no family and the scorn of others brought upon him, this child, Naruto would begin to lead a lonely existence.
Out in the midday streets of Konohagakure, a mere child with blonde hair and blue eyes tried to stay out of sight of the public. He was trying his best to avoid crowds, to avoid anyone that would recognize him, which unfortunately was the entire village. He felt the anxiety building up of being surrounded by people that would speak ill of him or even cause physical harm. Naruto regretted every bit of his decision to try and see the Hokage.
"I hate being out here, I shouldn't have come out. I need to go home now!"
Naruto changing his mind decided he would turn around and just return to his lonely apartment. Turning around suddenly Naruto did not realize he would run head on into a towering figure. Although any adult would be a towering figure to the mere child, let alone one that would dislike Naruto. Falling onto his rear Naruto looked up frightened knowing what would most likely entail. Not even a second to utter an apology. A disgusted angered face greeted Naruto.
"You little…" The man paused. "You're that damn demon child!"
In the clear blue skies above the village the same golden clad cosmic being stood on thin air unknown and unseen to all. Aron observed the scene with Naruto unfold below. The Rogue Watcher's gaze of indifference only slightly gave way that he was excited to see his new prospect.
This universe, it exists and is part of a unique multiverse cluster that would be out of reach of the multiverse I and my race originate from. However it is thanks to my brilliance and desire to go beyond the limits and order of the way things are meant to be that I, Aron the Rogue Watcher, would be able to journey beyond one infinite expanse of universes to whole other infinite collective of universes. These collectives were never meant to be crossed, intertwined, and even acknowledged by the other. Even the most brilliant minds of my kind or any other species that exists in my collective universes of origin, ones who have mastered and understood cross dimensional, multiverse travel have only scratched the surface of this complexity of existence. Their minds, their system of quantifying and understanding would never even dream of their not just being an infinite number of parallel and alternate universes but that in the grandest scale exists multiple infinities of universes.
Whereas one infinity of universes exist based on the multiplying alternatives of simple to complex outcomes of decisions, choices. An entirely different infinity of universes independent and unique to the other would have its own course, even its own origin drastically or simply different from the other, no others yes. To simplify it has been seen by my race that our key universe, the one that all other alternates draw their outcomes from was born of a great and powerful bang. But these other collectives, these clusters of clusters, they do not exist and come to be based on different decisions. Entirely different sources of creation! A multiverse that does not even have a shred of matter that would even relate it to my place of origin; you cannot even begin to fathom the grander scale of complexity in series, these multiples of multiples of alternating existences! I have so much more to study, observe, and experiment with. But I know that this multiverse has not even yet considered the possibility of alternate universe. There is not a single bit of anything in these universes that could relate to anything born of my multiverse of origin.
Aron the Rogue Watcher paused in his monologue. He looked up beyond the skies and into space. In but a fraction of a moment Aron was in space.
My categorization of this multiverse is still developing, but I have already labeled this universe in my archives. I call it Universe N1N, though it may soon have to change once a certain symbiotic creature yielding from Universe 92131 arrives. It has taken a rather pain staking amount of time, effort, unfathomable levels of power and other resources to isolate N1N from the rest of the multiverse. In my multiverse of origin I had never dreamed of doing something as monumental as to isolate Universe 616, preventing its outcomes from yielding alternates that would spawn new universes. Such an act would have certainly brought down the fevered panicked efforts of the powers that be to stop me and would certainly by no means be conducted unnoticed. But with a new multiverse where even my advanced race the Watchers not even existing I can go about unhindered.
And why isolate N1N you might wonder. This is my project, my experiment and I would rather it unique and independent. The mere act of introducing the symbiote into N1N would create a whole new infinite cycle of universes in this multiverse. I would rather focus on observing the fruits of my labor in one place. And it is also a possibility my actions if unregulated could yield a multiverse death caused by possibly the birth of a new multiverse within an existing multiverse. Assuming that what I am about to do would have such a great effect on this universe to begin spawning infinitely more. So this is why I have gone so far as to barricade and dare I say neuter this universe. Fear not however this multiverse will continue to grow and expand without N1N as with each alternate outcome comes another alternate to the alternate, so on and so on, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera…that is the nature of a multiverse.
Aron stopped in his monologue once more to change his expression just enough to show more emotion in his rather unyielding face.
I do shamefully confess that I may have been sloppy in some areas of my efforts to neuter N1N. It is possible an alternate could still come to be. But in the event of such things, I only expect a handful of new universes to be spawned, and these alternates will certainly be sterile. But enough on my ramblings, it is now time, the pieces are in place and my experiment shall begin.
Once more without even a slightest moment passing Aron the Rogue Watcher disappeared into nothingness.
Deep in space the lone unmanned craft would soon launch its cargo. A deep space probe that would seek out the vastness of the universe on its own, the moment the probe would launch a signal of successful deployment would be sent to Earth. But that moment would not come…
And it all begins.
Aron's voice echoed as he appeared before the craft.
Not even sparing a second for the spacecraft to open up its hull. The cosmic being gestured with his hand and a literal tear appeared into the void of space. This cataclysmic phenomenon would momentarily shake the universe itself alarming all who lived in it. And it would certainly alert the Watchers or any other near omnipotent level beings. But for just a second, the spacecraft was violently pulled into the tear. The massive object passing through Aron's intangible body and disappearing forever into another universe taking with it the symbiote into Universe N1N, a place where nothing in that known universe does anything like the symbiote exist or ever will. Just as instantaneously as the tear appeared, it would disappear, closing up. Those in 92131 that would question or seek out the one responsible for the disruption of the order of their universe would not know how to find Aron for they only grasped that there is only one multiverse not knowing Aron the Rogue Watcher would now continue his ill guided deeds in another infinite collection of universes separated from their own.
Naruto cowered, crying as an unforgiving and uncompassionate mob formed and grew. All he wanted to do was see the Hokage, now he just wanted to go home. It seemed the mere act of accidental physical contact would be this child's undoing.
"Why can't you just leave us all alone?!"
"You damn monster! We live in fear because of you!"
The hateful words rained onto Naruto. The boy had nowhere to go. No crack in the encompassing wall of people that surrounded him. But then suddenly without warning or explanation the land shook for a moment maybe even shifted. It would have been thought to be an earthquake but it would not be realized it wasn't the land that moved but the entire universe itself. Everybody fell to the ground or shambled in their standing. Naruto didn't understand what happened short of one thought.
'RUN!' Naruto's thoughts screamed to him.
The child ran as fast and hard as possible. His small feet stamping over the collapsed crowd only further angering everyone, granting more motivation to do horrid things to Naruto.
Just outside the orbit of the blue planet that Naruto resided on a universe shaking tear appeared for a moment bringing into N1N, the craft that held the symbiote. But the process of opening one universe into a whole other multiverse was such a violent and unstable process that the spacecraft entered one side of the tear intact, only to come out the other in ruins. The hull was crushed and torn, breaking apart and even beginning to disintegrate. Systems in haywire, not knowing where it was with emergency signals going nowhere. The carrier began an emergency protocol to fire away its probe before succumbing to its own destruction.
"Too soon to awaken…still weak…but must survive."
The symbiote thought as it clung to the probe that would for the moment be the only thing of the craft to survive the sudden unforeseen cross-multiversal trek. With draining strength the ichor creature fitted itself into the spaces between circuitry and wire, struggling to find shelter from the flames that began to grow inside the craft.
WARNING, WARNING, CATASTROPHIC FAILURE IMMINENT, BEGIN EMERGENCY DEPLOYMENT OF JAMESON 1 PROBE.
The deep space exploration probe launched just as small explosions erupted on the carrier that would spiral into a massive blast. Behind the soon to be wreckage was Aron in his golden armor. He merely floated through space and the explosion as time seemingly came to a crawl. With restrained amusement Aron positioned himself in perfect view and touching range of the probe being shot out of the exploding unmanned spacecraft. Aron leaned in closer to the probe seeing the tiny tendrils of the symbiote just barely escaping incineration from the blast.
Welcome to your new home Symbiote.
Aron says just as time itself resumes normal pace but with such destructive forces exuding did it seem like everything shifted into double speed. The damaged probe was propelled by the blast and its own small boosters. More damage was accumulated the probe would not be long of this new universe either. But the computer system that was part of and controlling of this probe would not merely accept its own destruction. It had protocols to follow.
WARNING, WARNING, TELEMETRY LOST, GUIDANCE AND NAVIGATION UNABLE TO PINPOINT CURRENT POSITION. ALL PROPULSION SYSTEMS FAILING…SEEKING NEAREST PLANET FOR EMERGENCY LANDING.
The probe struggled to reorient managing just barely to face a blue planet that to the uninitiated would believe it out to be Earth. But the computer system controlling the probe did not recognize it as Earth because it was not. With one final boost the propulsion system fired up and hurled the probe towards this new world. The damaged boosters exploding into pieces while fulfilling their final task. The onboard computer shut down permanently as it attempted to make some form of adjustments to insure a precise landing into the Earth-like planet. But now an uncontrolled hurtle instead began.
Aron watched the probe begin its dying descent towards the planet he knew would house the spiraling chain events he would begin. Although the now dead computer system onboard the probe did not know where on the planet it would land. The Rogue Watcher already knew precisely where probe would crash land. It would be exactly where he wanted it to be at the exact time and moment he would desire. And with that moment of knowing Aron disappeared once more from space.
In Konoha, Naruto ran for dear life. More adrenaline than any child his age should be subject to was flooding his system as he struggled to push himself harder than he ever had before in his short life. It helped that a mere second ago not seeing what flew up from behind him at an angle skimmed his upper right arm. The child would be considered lucky by some and not so much by others. But where his right sleeve used to be was tattered fabric and a bleeding gash. A sharp object had been thrown at him while he was running.
"GET HIM!"
The crowd echoed behind Naruto as he ran. In his fearful state of mind Naruto did not know where he was going. But it seemed as luck would have it, the boy could see ahead a familiar structure. It was the main gate entrance gate to Konoha, which in this case if Naruto would be able to run fast enough would be his exit out of the village and hopefully into somewhere he could hide from the masses that chased and harassed him.
Standing unknown and unseen to all Aron watched Naruto's sprint for life. The Rogue Watcher had already known where the child would ultimately end up. His planning guaranteed that.
This mere child I have observed would ultimately become the savior of his world and for that matter Universe N1N. Within him is a great power nearly beyond this world's understanding and a will that given time will grow to equally match. However in the alternate outcomes that will alone have had the opportunity to grow into a variety of factors that as I have observed yielded many different universes on that basis itself. I have chosen to allow a new path to be created through the introduction of a certain extraterrestrial symbiotic organism. Let us see if you will still become the Hero you were meant to be after this encounter young Naruto.
The Rogue Watcher observed below Naruto running towards the Konoha Gate with a mob hot on his tail. At the same time Aron glanced to the skies above to see a small shimmer that could possibly be made out as a shooting star if not for the fact that it was broad daylight. The Rogue Watcher knew his plans would soon start a new baffling path for Universe N1N.
Naruto ran at a surprising rate considering his small lightly developed legs. His stamina somehow holding strong keeping him at a pace just above the speed that the angry mob traveled at to capture Naruto, he could see his salvation just ahead. A stream of traders, merchants, and other foreigners came into Konoha through the large open gate. But as the crowd started to dwindle entering the enormous gates started a slow shutting.
"I-I…hugh…have…t-to…hugh make it!" Naruto screamed out loud in between labored breathes.
Bumping into merchants going the opposite direction he was traveling, Naruto quickly recovered momentum while the larger mob behind him began to trip and fall into each other in domino effect due to rage and uncoordinated movements they displayed. It bought Naruto a second's gap between himself and the lynch mob. But his borrowed time would not last as the large gates neared shut. In a desperate last ditch effort Naruto leaned back and slide across the dirt road that both lead into and out of Konoha. His tiny form just barely getting through the narrowing space between the shutting gate doors. The blonde child just barely making it through before the gates were now closed fully, leaving Naruto outside of Konoha and the angry mob inside the village walls unable to at least for the moment get to the boy.
"M-made it…" Naruto struggled to say as he dropped his head onto the dirt the rest of his body lay on.
It was a moment of rest for Naruto after barely escaping with his life but making out the angry jeers of the mob behind the gate snapped the blue eyed boy out of his moment of rest. Fearing that the gate would be opened up in seconds he ran into the vast expanse of forest that lay outside Konoha's protective walls. Not knowing the consequence of these actions would serve to strand Naruto into a deep unknown.
In a chaotic downfall outside of planetary orbit the space probe hailing from a different universe began its emergency descent. The probe's systems all but shut down as the power flow trickled to nothing. But the adjustments however sloppy they were, was now implemented. The probe literally breaking apart as it quickly approached the Earth-like planet in view. The symbiote inside the probe hurriedly pushed deeper inside the machine trying its best to stay as safe as possible inside the largest remaining piece of the probe.
"Fire, chaos, afraid…"
The symbiotes thought to itself with near incoherence still worn out from its separation anxiety and forced exile from Earth, and now even its own universe of origin. The largest remaining piece of the probe soon began to fireball as it started entering atmosphere.
Naruto had run through the outer laying forests around Konoha for some time before exhaustion settled in for the child once more. By now the cuts and gashes began to scab and heal as Naruto took rest against a tree. The boy not yet knowing he was blessed with an advanced level of physical healing. His moment of rest soon turned into exhausted slumber.
Unknown to him, burning wreckage was fast approaching from the Heaven's above. All the while the invisible and intangible hyper intelligent Watcher did as his race has always done, watch. Everything was unfolding as he had planned. A chance encounter that others would perceive was actually a grand scheme bringing together two different beings of two different worlds, universes for that matter.
No longer speaking to himself the Rogue Watcher observed everything in calculating attention. His view somehow able to see the slumbering Naruto and the hurtling probe wreckage with its clinging to life stowaway. Time seemingly once again moving by fractions of seconds, in a way it seemed the series of events would move frame by frame. The steady but strained breath of Naruto seemingly in sync measured distance the burning probe traveled. At that last moment before impact Naruto exhaled once more before a terrifying new creature would be wrought upon this planet.
BOOOOOM!
It would have been considered pure luck that Naruto would be just outside the range of the point of impact that he would be unharmed but still shaken up by the probes final landing, more or less crash. The violent forces of the crash strong enough however throw Naruto off the tree he lay on and roll him across the grassy ground.
"Whaaaa…ahhhhhh!" Naruto screamed while being thrown across the ground by the brutal shockwave that rocked the earth.
By the time Naruto stopped rolling and sliding he was caked in dirt and dust as debris rained down from above a mushroom cloud of sorts forming in the sky above. Dazed and confused the young child barely got on his knees. Once more afraid and fearful, his adolescent mind quickly assuming someone from the village would soon come to investigate this sudden destructive event. Stumbling on his feet Naruto once more ran with no actual direction to follow.
"ALIVE!"
A blotch of writhing dark sludge screamed within its own mind. Somehow surviving the crash and further incineration of what remained of the deep space probe it escaped on, the symbiote struggled to crawl out of the crater that now lay in place of the fireball that fell from the skies. Exhausted and even more injured now the symbiote was now just a handful of its former self. It would surely die if a host was not found soon. There was no time to be a picky symbiote. The symbiote would make do with any living creature. But with resulting explosion of the crashing probe, any decent host that could have been made of by land based wildlife was now frightened away.
Naruto had managed to find himself a small stream a bit of a ways from the smoldering crater that was formed from the impact and explosion of the falling space debris. Exhausted and dirty, Naruto dropped to his knees before the stream. He splashed handfuls of water to his dirty face feebly scrubbing before taking gulps of the water. Once he had his fill he collapsed onto his back quickly falling back to sleep. His fears of being found by someone from the village fading away not out of sense of security but from mental and physical fatigue, Naruto unconsciously curled up by the stream.
The symbiote unable to find any forest dwelling animals to latch onto took a gamble and crawled into a small flowing stream of water. It knew already the likelihood of decent aquatic life forms to bond to being in the stream was not likely to happen. But it hoped that the stream would carry it to a larger body of water, or maybe if luck favored it. Something would be by the stream as the symbiote passed to bond onto.
It is finally coming together now. In mere measures of minutes this insignificant stream of water will be the means for this dying creature to meet another. And a new path shall be forged for this world, this universe.
Aron watched from above as the symbiote slipped into the steady flow of water. Because of how small and lite the symbiote had become it was quickly carried away. For what was only minutes of time felt like an eternity to the dying organism. It nearly lost consciousness until it sensed something it was coming upon by the stream. Hoping for some sort of land creature drinking from the stream, the symbiote instead realized it was a young boy laid out on the ground.
Now too weak to break free of the streams coursing flow luck would have it that the boy's foot was close enough to the water. The symbiote shot out however many tendrils its dying body could generate, with only two reaching the sole of child's sandal. One tendril lost its cohesion to the footwear but the last one held on. The symbiote struggled for a moment before managing to pull itself out now anchored onto a blue sandal.
"Success! Host…survival…"
The symbiote felt a sense of relief now that it finally found a host to bond to. It would have rather a more able bodied adult but at least it was a human with more physical dexterity than a simple animal. Crawling over the sandal the symbiote made contact with the skin of the boy's foot. Slowly the symbiote tapped into the exhausted reserves of the boy.
"Weak…tired…but will do for now." The symbiote thought to itself as it steadily regained strength from a very slow bond, careful not to wake its new host.
The symbiote's thoughts were becoming more focused. Its mind more calculating as it slowly spread itself thinly across the child's body. Lacking its usual body mass the symbiote could easily be torn off the boy if someone or something were to happen by. But the symbiote needed to deepen the bond quickly. As it covered more skin the symbiote began to learn as much as it could of its new host while taking more the boy's strength to recover.
"So much anger and confusion…feelings of neglect…" The symbiote began to see deeper into the memories of the child.
"A nice malleable mind to use…you shall be useful…We shall ensure our mutual survival."
The boy groaned in his sleep as he rolled over the grass on his side. By now the symbiote had spread and covered his legs. Soon it would take to the abs and eventually his entire body would be encompassed. As the symbiote continued to probe the boy's mind it learned his name.
"Yes Naruto, you will not be shunned and shamed no more…" The symbiote's thoughts were growing darker in tone.
"What's this?"
Something peculiar was found or more so sensed. The symbiote could sense something else inside of Naruto. Its mind more bound to the scientific understandings of the world from its previous host, Peter Parker. The symbiote did not fully comprehend what it perceived to be inside of its new host. Not knowing that what it could feel was a creature of mysticism. It could only conclude one thing, it was powerful and the symbiote wanted that power.
"Whatever this is Naruto, we will now be unstoppable."
The symbiote feeling itself up to strength began to penetrate deeper into the recesses of Naruto's mind while finishing layering of the blonde's upper body. Naruto groaned more a chilling sensation could be felt not just physically but mentally as well. Unconsciously Naruto could feel something was wrong. His eye's snapped open in time to see the symbiote spring from the base of his neck straight onto his face. There wasn't even time to scream. Naruto was quickly robbed of consciousness, his world now dark. He was too tired to resist.
Drip…
Drip…
Drip…
"Uugh…"
Naruto once more stirred, the eerie chilling feeling replaced with feeling wet dampness. He figured he rolled into the stream of water he slept next to before sitting up. His eyes slowly opening trying to awaken, some sort of dimmed illumination met his eyes. Naruto figured he must have slept for too long and that day was now gone.
"I slept too long…" Naruto said aloud to no one but himself.
"Wait…" Naruto said slowly before remembering what had happened the last time he opened his eyes.
He jumped to his feet shaking around trying to brush something off of himself. It took a moment to realize that whatever had covered his body earlier was now gone. He calmed down and took a sigh of relief. But that moment of terror was now replaced with confusion as Naruto took in his surroundings. He was no longer in the forest. Nor was he in a stream. Instead he found dark murky water covering his feet and to his left and right were old decaying stone walls. Wherever he was, it wasn't meant for a human sized occupant. The space between the walls and the height of the ceiling were too much for even a tall man. No this corridor seemed to have been meant for something very big to travel through.
"What is that…?" Naruto looked off into the distance not able to see anything ahead of him in the corridor but feeling something.
With nowhere else to go but forward, Naruto hoped he would get an answer to why he was in this strange dark place. Unknown to Naruto the dripping of water from the ceiling and walls was slowly being replaced by a dark oozing substance.
For what seemed like forever to the child, Naruto continued following the strange feeling from before. He didn't understand it but it seemed as if something was calling out to him. Just when he felt he would be wandering forever Naruto could finally something in the distant darkness forming. Tired of not knowing what it was he was looking for Naruto broke out into a run. Suddenly the child would feel regret for getting closer. To match the vast amount of spacing in the corridor was an equally massive wrought iron gate. It appeared very sturdy but just as aged at the same time and in the center where lock would be to hold the gate shut was a large parchment with the kanji for Seal written on it.
Naruto didn't want to get any closer, he found what he was looking for and felt that no further investigating would be needed. He could feel darkness before him, he was too afraid to get closer to see if there was anything on the other side even if it was the exit out of this dark and dank place.
"Hey…"
A loud somewhat lazy toned voice erupted from the other side of the gate. Naruto yelled in surprise and fell onto his rear splashing upwards the dark water beneath.
"Come here kit…come to me so I can see you better."
"W-what? W-who are you?" Naruto squeaked afraid out of his mind.
"Just come here, I can't see too well. I need you over here. I'll tell you anything you want to know if you just come here." The voice teased Naruto.
"T-that's okay I d-don't n-need to know anything! I'm just a boy that wants to go home is all."
Naruto was ready to run the other way. This day was proving to be the most confusing frightening day ever for him and his young life. From leaving his lonely apartment to being harassed and almost lynched in the streets, nearly being killed by an explosion, the boy just wanted it all to be over. He just wanted to return to his simple existence. Whatever it was behind the gate, he couldn't explain it or understand. But he knew it was dangerous beyond belief.
"But Kit, don't you want to know why you're here? What this place is? Or better, do you want to know about your mother and father?"
Naruto's expression turned to surprise. That had definitely piqued his interest now. For as long as he could remember he had wondered once he had seen other children. Why they had parents and he had none. Even for his young mind, he understood there was a need for children to have parents or just a family for that matter. And he had no one and didn't know why. The Hokage was the closest thing to family for him and the elderly leader never mentioned anything to him about his parents. A strong desire to know seemingly overwhelmed the fear and need to run for Naruto.
"O-okay…I'll come a little closer…just a little!" Naruto said getting up and hesitantly walking closer to the gate.
"Yes…yeah little closer Kit. It's okay I just wanna see you better. Do me that favor and I'll answer all your questions okay?"
Naruto neared the bars he could see the gate better but still not whoever it was beyond the gateway. He could feel a slow breeze of air, maybe the way out was beyond the gate. But he could hear something as well it seemed like a slow and steady sound. There was something very familiar about the sound and seemed somehow linked to the breeze.
"That's right Kit, right there. So you want to know about your parents' right?"
"Y-yes please…"
"You see about your parents…"
It occurred to Naruto what it was about the noise seemed familiar. He then realized it wasn't a breeze, being closer he realized the air was being pulled back and pushed forth. It was breathing.
"I KILLED THEM!"
CRASH!
Massive claws sprang forth from the darkness Naruto just barely falling back to avoid being utterly destroyed by the massive appendages. He could see the razor sharp tips just inches away from his face. Shock and horror were among the cavalcade of emotions he felt right now.
"Damn you Kit, just a little closer and I would have finally gotten you."
"J-just what a-are you?!" Naruto yelled with both terror and anger in his voice.
"Insolent little whelp I don't need to answer you unless I want to. But seeing as you will die soon I'll grace you with knowing you are in the presence of greatness and ferocity beyond your own understanding. I am the Kyubi no Yoko! The Legendary Nine Tailed Fox! And I am the one who killed your wretched parents just as I am going to kill you and finally be free of this prison!"
While the legendary fox boasted to Naruto, the slowly oozing darkness that seeped out of the cracks of the walls and ceiling were now dripping. The droplets of thick ebony further darkened the murky water. Suddenly the drips and drops turned into a downpour of darkness before cracks in the walls turned into fissures as a flood of black ooze poured in. By then Kyuubi and Naruto noticed what was happening in the opposite direction of the sealed gate.
"What have we here? I knew I smelled something dirty and disgusting. So you brought a stowaway Kit. I was wondering what could have brought you here to your mindscape without being near death. Show yourself you abomination!" Kyuubi roared at the intruding darkness.
"Mindscape?" Naruto asked aloud as his situation was further complicating itself.
Behind Naruto the black liquid slimed across the floor getting closer to the other occupants while at the same time taking a strangely deformed shadowy shape. It was vaguely humanoid but it stretched and bent without any real solidity. At the very top of the shifting mass was what could be assumed as a head only after a pair of white tear marks forming in the place eyes would it be interpreted now as the creature's head. It now seemingly slid across floor to get closer, it's now massive head leaned against the gate staring blankly with a nearly featureless head and face into the vicious eyes of Kyuubi. It seemed the two paid no heed to Naruto's presence at the moment. The two inhuman creatures focused on each other.
"You are the host's great power, I see that now. You will be of great use to us." The living ooze spoke in a deafly hollow yet loudening voice.
"Use to you? You know nothing of what you speak of or presume. Who is this "us" and "host"you speak of you filth?" Kyubi asked with a mocking and condescending tone.
"The boy is my host."
A massive flowing arm formed out of the liquid form of the creature. The appendage of sorts was pointed directly at Naruto. Once more all focus was now on the child. Naruto could only become more confused while Kyuubi looked at Naruto with even more disdain.
"One's host is another's prison. You can have the boy and use him until he's a dried husk. But I'm afraid you're both going to die very soon."
"How do you intend on doing that when you cannot even reach us?" The symbiote fired back now mocking the great Fox.
Without warning the symbiote flooded the corridor with its form and rushed forward. It gushed through the gates bars dragging Naruto with it onto the other side of the structure. The symbiote smashed into Kyubi and threw the massive fox onto his back. The symbiote reformed after retracting from its sudden tackle. Naruto was face down in the dark waters after being dragged along.
"Your power is ours for the taking. Don't resist us." The symbiote said with a matter of fact tone, its head looking down on Kyubi just inches away from his snarling snout.
"You're far less intelligent than I thought parasite." Kyubi suddenly swiped a massive clawed paw striking and literally slapping off the symbiote's head, the hunk of black ooze smashing into a wall.
The symbiote retracted back formed a new head while the dismembered mass returned to its source. Kyubi rolled and hopped onto all fours and viciously growled. Naruto could only stare at what was unfolding feeling there was nothing he could possibly do.
"Stupid enough to come over to my side and you brought the boy. Now I can kill you both and finally be free of this prison cell."
More of the symbiote seemed to materialize from the walls as the alien form expanded to match Kyubi's size.
"You fail to understand that we are so much more. You will fall to us."
"You took the words right out of my snout."
Aron stood on thin air above Naruto's black encased form. The symbiote had bound the child up and looked like a featureless black sheened mannequin that was laid out. Suddenly a crimson glow appeared over the abdomen it was an intricately designed seal. The energy that seemingly lit up the marking bleed through the ichor and showed prominently for Aron to see, this turn of events further intrigued and drew the Rogue Watcher's attention.
It would seem that the child was not such an easy conquest for the symbiotic organism. This is certainly proving to be quite the development. If only I can peer into exactly what is happening in the consciousness of young Naruto. But that will have to be for another time. For now we wait to see who will be in control when this is said and done.
"You want my power? Come and take it, if you can!"
Kyubi exploded off the ground with incredible force, lunging straight at the symbiote with the intent to pounce. Claws forward and fanged mouth open, Kyubi had every intention to obliterate the alien creature. The symbiote almost appeared to disappear but instead flattened itself to the ground tricking the fox into lunging straight at the sealed gate.
CRASH!
The great fox slammed into the bars, without being given time to recover or even hit the ground massive tendrils pinned Kyuubi and began to spread and melt over his crimson fur. The symbiote intended to smother fox right then and there trapping him in its own liquid flesh. But the Nine Tailed Fox would not go down so easily. With a roar and violently swift movement Kyubi's claws made short work of the liquid bindings. Without pause Kyubi diced the symbiote sending massive chunks of ooze splattering everywhere sliming down the walls post impact. Kyubi didn't stop until the symbiote was splayed out all over the walls and ceiling.
"This is crazy!" Naruto yelled as he pressed his back against a wall as close as possible trying to avoid getting caught up in this behemoth of a brawl. He had to duck and crawl to avoid the symbiote's flying pieces of oozing flesh.
"Hahaha you pathetic disgusting little parasite, petty tricks is all you have? You can't hurt me nor overcome like that and there is no way you can even hope to take my pow…"
Kyubi's taunt was cut short. A prompt and immediate response from the symbiote erupted from the side, no effort to return an insult was given. Instead a massive muscular disembodied arm with a solid balled fist crashed into Kyuubi's snout. The fox retaliated with another powerful claw swipe. This time however the arm melted before contact was made. Before Kyubi the symbiote took on a new form. It was now taking a much more humanoid shape. Its body was now inhumanly muscular to match the gargantuan size. It lacked any distinguishing features save for the tear drop splotches where the eyes would be. This powerful form was reminiscent of the symbote's previous bonded incarnation, Venom. Only it had no fanged mouth or spider motif.
Kyubi looked to throw another insult at the black colored alien. But the symbiote was all business now. Not wasting a moment of effort to say anything. It coldly sprang into attack. Powerful clawed hands closed shut Kyubi's mouth. The symbiote then proceeded to slam the fox into a wall and dragged the vulpine across while bursting into a full sprint. The deafening scrapping noise echoed, Naruto cowered and covered his ears and tried to close his eyes shut hoping that this titanic battle would just disappear.
"This can't be real! This can't be real!"
In one powerful swing the symbiote slammed Kyubi into the gate while still maintaining an iron clad grip on the fox's head. Letting go with one arm, the symbiote pinned and raise the demon fox higher up the gate. With its free arm the symbiote willed its limb into long dagger like blade. The enormous flesh formed weapon was thrust forward right at Kyuubi's head. Jerking his head to the side the blade arm missed with little space to spare. The fox clamped his fangs down on the blade and broke it off from the rest of the body and with a stronger head movement; he chucked the broken black blade right into the symbiote's head.
The attack had no effect whatsoever. The blade melted back into symbiote's body as the momentum of the throw propelled the weapon into its creator. Without even waiting for the blade arm section to melt fully back into its body the symbiote reformed its right arm and proceeded to pummel Kyuubi's head. It relentlessly throttled the fox, the punches impacting echoed through the vast emptiness of the corridor. The walls were shaking violently now and Naruto once more being drowned out by the noise while he cried and cowered helplessly.
The violent head beating only ceased for a moment reasons yet to be understood. Kyubi's snout now covered in blood. The symbiote's massive fist had fang fragments stuck in its knuckles. Not even a moment long enough for blood to drip passed by as another feat of shapeshifting occurred. The symbiote's right fist morphed into a massive hammer head. In a downward motion it crashed down on top of the fox's vulpine cranium.
SMASHH!
CRASSHHH!
Kyubi was laid out on the water covered floor and without delay the symbiote kicked the fox's side flipping him onto his back. It brought its massive fists up gesturing that it was ready to further pummel the fox. But there was a brief pause as in another feat of shapshifting. The fists twisted and expanded into even bigger spiked balls imitating a wickedly designed version of a mace head. A rapid flurry punches rain down on Kyuubi's belly. Every hit yielded a loud boom that shook the walls and splashed water high on up into the ceiling.
"You…"
"Little…" Kyuubi struggled to say between punches to the stomach.
"ENOUGH!"
Kyubi reached out through the barrage of spiked punches and made an upward swipe that stabbed into the chest of the symbiote and sliced up through and out of the symbiote's head creating multiple sectioned pieces of black flesh. Although an impressive looking injury it failed to halt the attack. Instead the entire upper body of the symbiote began to grow, expand, and divide into a massive cluster of arms. Once more the symbiote had a less than human shape instead appearing to be a nonsensical and grotesque monster that was a pair of massive legs connected to an abdomen that formed into more than a dozen conjoined arms, in place of fists were also enormous spiked spheres. All while this transformation was happening the symbiote never once let up with its two original arms. But now its onslaught would be multiplied.
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
The spiked balled arms rapidly piston into Kyubi, now every part of the Nine Tailed Fox was getting hammered down. What was originally a series of paced impacts felt through the floor was turned into a speedy and consistent vibration that sounded like a machine hum only a thousand times louder. The storm of punches were relentless, unyielding, to the point that the floor itself was deforming and sinking the two titans below ground level. The dark waters itself were flowing rapidly into the forming crater underneath the fox's pounding body.
The symbiote felt that a rapid and unyielding assault would be enough. That if it kept the pressure on that the Kyubi no Yoko would be weakened enough to be taken over. But as the assault continued on, a blood red glow emanated from the fox below and with that glow a piercing heat rose. Every spiked fist began to lose consistency and shape with every successive blow to Kyubi. Before it could register with the symbiote an explosion of pure chakra halted the attack and slammed the symbiote's freakish form against a wall. The symbiote was literally pressed flat against the wall, coating the stones with it's now fully liquid body.
"You want my power so bad you wretched little parasitic waste?! Here you go!" Kyubi roared as he got on his fours and inhaled strongly.
His massive form pouring with blood red chakra, Kyubi proceeded to exhale. A destructive beam of crimson energy shot out of his mouth and blasted the flattened symbiote. It screeched with a horrendous inhuman shrill. Its mass that was struck by the beam was eviscerated. Within a large radius of the beam the symbiote's body was being destroyed. It quickly split apart and flowed away from the wall and beam of destruction. The creature reformed and attempted to regenerate behind Naruto who stared with awe and terror at the crimson death beam.
"Oh what's the matter? Don't like the heat? Well guess what you little shit, my being is affined to FIRE! Now I'm going to obliterate you both in one blast!"
Kyubi once more inhaled rapidly, only this time it was like a vortex vacuuming everything up, forming a massive ball of chakra in front of the fox's mouth, orbs of blue and red chakra molding together. The ball was almost like a miniature sun only it emitted dark energy. The symbiote struggled to yield some kind of form other than its current blob shape. The symbiote realized just how much it underestimated Kyubi's prowess and sheer power. If it was going to win it would need a boost and the key to that was also in front of it. There was also something unique about Naruto other than being the jailer of the Kyubi no Yoko. Something else was hidden about the child and the symbiote intended to use that to defeat the great Kyubi and consume his power.
"We shall truly become one now!" The symbiote yelled as it launched tendrils to ensnare Naruto.
Much like it tried to do with Kyubi. The tendrils quickly flowed around Naruto and began smother the blonde haired boy. Naruto could feel a crash of cold dark thoughts. He could hear the desperate thoughts of survival and domination clouding out his own mind. Naruto felt his own self disappearing into the symbiote's psyche.
Just as it seemed the fox was ready to launch his attack. The symbiote brought Naruto closer to its mass and formed its familiar head, only now it had a massive gapping mouth. The alien intended to fully consume Naruto.
'Someone…anyone…please save me!' Naruto cried within his own mind.
"GET YOUR DIRTY HANDS OFF MY BOY!" The angered synchronized scream of multiple women echoed, all seemingly the same voice.
With blinding speed a mob of women all with red hair tore the symbiote's head and extended tendril apart. Naruto was freed from the symbiote started to fall to the ground until gentle arms of one of the red haired women caught him. He could see one of his savior's faces. She had a beautiful elegant face that was adorned with a rather goofy childish grin; much akin to his mischievous grin he had developed. Naruto could see that the woman had on a simple green dress. Naruto looked around blinked; he could see that he was surrounded by exact duplicates of the woman carrying him. It was if they were all clones of the same woman.
"Are you okay my precious baby?" The woman's grin was broken by a concerned expression.
"P-precious baby?" Naruto stuttered at the question. He was so shocked and confused by the question he had nearly forgotten about the demonic fox that was ready to unleash a ball of pure destruction.
"Rasengan!" A male voice yelled over the rapid humming noise of the chakra ball that belonged to Kyubi.
Almost out of thin air an adult male dressed in a Konoha Jounin uniform with a white with flame adorned coat dropped down on the behemoth. In this man's hands was an ever expanding ball of blue chakra much like Kyubi's own attack but on a much smaller scale. This sphere of blue chakra was rapidly spinning and rotating in multiple directions. What it lacked in sheer size made up for with insane spiraling force.
CRASH!
Kyuubi lost his concentration, his mind focused on the sheering pain that tore into his head. The familiar attack brought back angered memories of a past confrontation further breaking apart the demon fox's concentration. Losing control of his attack the fox ended up dropping all that concentrated chakra. At the same time the man disappeared in a yellow flash.
BOOOOOM!
A massive explosion consumed Kyuubi while the blonde haired nin reappeared next to Naruto and the woman carrying him in a spectacular yellow flash. Naruto stared even more wide eyed at the man. He knew there was something familiar about this man who was also smiling at him. It took but a second to fully realize it was the Yodaime Hokage, whose face was sculpted onto the Cliffside that looked over Konoha, the Hokage Monument.
The mob of women clones and the Hokage shielded Naruto from the ensuing blast. It seemed in but a moment Kyuubi was replaced with a massive black cloud of smoke and the symbiote was once more displaced in pieces all over the walls and ceiling. It seemed that Naruto's prayers were answered.
"Ha! That'll show that furball and oil stain, nobody lays a hand on my son! Dattabane!" The red head holding Naruto said proudly while her clones all nodded in agreement.
"Kushina it's not over yet." The Hokage rubbed the back of his head sheepishly, the woman now identified as Kushina and by proxy her clones all gave an annoyed grin.
As the Hokage had pointed out the obvious, it seemed timing would prove the point. In the smoking blast zone where the Kyuubi had prematurely detonated his chakra sphere, the Nine Tailed fox emerged roaring with in pain with hate and discontent. Signs that the surprise attack had yielded damage were apparent. All around the fox's snout and head were burns and blast marks. The rest of his body was frayed and smoking. Behind Kushina and her clones the symbiote struggled once more to reconstitute itself. Slowly a blob of darkness grew and started reforming into some sort of a humanoid.
"Well then I guess we're just going to have to beat them down some more to get the point across. No one threatens or lays a paw or disgusting tentacle on my son. Dattebane!" Kushina proclaimed with sheer determination.
"Son?" Naruto said looking at the woman savior with utter confusion.
Looking at the child's expression, Kushina gushed giving the child a warm if not crushing hug. This gesture of kindness only further proving that this was the most freighting and confusing day of Naruto's very young life, when he woke up this morning he certainly wasn't expecting to be chased out of town, nearly killed by an enormous demon fox or nearly eaten by an equally huge black sludge monster. And now he was rescued by a Hokage who was no longer of this world and a woman who was calling him, her son.
"Kushina, dear, he doesn't know who we are." The Kage said still with a sheepish look on his face. It seemed for the moment the group would take focus off of the two monstrous creatures that had them blocked on either side.
"Easy for you to say Minato, you're the Hokage I'm sure he would know of you." Kushina said with a childish if not somewhat mocking tone; however she quickly added a wink.
"You know what I mean Kushina."
Kushina broke the embrace and looked directly into the confused blue eyes of Naruto. "Naruto dear, I am Kushina Uzumaki, the Legendary Red Habanero and the awesome badass that is your Mother, dattebane!"
Minato looked at Kushina a little bemused and waited for a second to be introduced by the red head, Naruto as well was a little surprised she stopped there with no additional introduction. But knowing that the woman had a similar verbal tic to his did make it a little harder to be skeptical of the claim made.
"Oh right silly me!" Kushina said a little embarrassed.
"I don't see why you can't just introduce yourself to your son." Kushina said teasing Minato. "I'm sure you know already, that man is the equally awesome, sometimes just a little bit more so, sometimes of course." Kushina paused to stick her tongue out a little at the Kage.
"He is Minato Naimkaze, the Yondaime Hokage. But what you don't know. He is my loving husband and your father. Naruto, we are your parents." Kushina said proudly to her son.
It took a moment for Naruto's mind to process the revelation. All the while Kyubi and symbiote encroached on the now reunited family. With the just too much having happened already and more things spiraling about into chaos and confusion for the child, he did the only thing he felt he could do. Squirming about and breaking free of his mother's hold Naruto stumbled to the floor. He regained his balance only to go into a panicked rant.
"What the heck is going on here?! Why am I here? What is this place? Why does everyone hate me?! Why is that fox trying to kill me and that oil thing trying to eat me! How are you both my parents?!"
The boy was in a frenzy breaking down in tears and firing away his questions he wanted answered so badly. Doing only what parents would naturally do despite the approaching dangers. They kneeled down to their son and gave a comforting hug.
"We know you're confused and afraid, there are a lot of questions that need to be answered." Kushina said as she kissed her son on the cheek. "I know that you've gone through so much already. But we need you to know that we love you so very much."
"But right now this takes priority son. Kyubi and that parasite need to be dealt with and we don't have much time." Minato said breaking the hug just as he placed his hand atop Naruto's head. "There's something we need you to do, it is very important."
"W-what's that?" Naruto hesitantly asked unsure if he was going to be able to do whatever it was that would be asked of him.
"We need you to help us stop these two pests." Kushina said.
Naruto blinked wide eyed. "W-what?! But I'm just a kid. Y-you're the Hokage!" Naruto pointed at Minato before looking at Kushina. "A-and you're some crazy awesome l-lady."
Kushina blinked at her son before grinning proudly. "And don't you forget it! But I'm also still your mother, dattebane!"
"Naruto listen…" Minato looked at his son. "You're stronger than you know. And even more brave son. Where we are right now is your mindscape. And this is your domain. The Kyubi is your prisoner and that parasite is intruding. You control this world and you can squash them both. We can't do this alone Naruto. We need you more than you can imagine." Minato said to his bewildered son.
"Your father is right. We have a lot to catch up on. But right now these two bastards need to be taken down a peg. And you're the one who can do it. After all you're my awesome son. You got the will that can put the boot on them. All you need to do is focus and believe in yourself. We'll hold them off but you're the only one that can finish this." Kushina said sternly now as she stood up and face the direction of Kyuubi.
"Minato honey, I'll deal with furball this time. Touching that pile of grim was just nasty. I'd rather put that fox in his place. Be a dear and do your share of cleaning now." Kushina said jokingly while her husband stood and faced the symbiote.
"Anything for you love, I guess it is my turn to get my hands dirty." Minato said once more patting Naruto's head. "Daddy's gotta work now son, don't take too long to join in alright? I love you Naruto."
"And I love you too my dear precious son." Kushina quickly hugged Naruto once more, kissing her child on the forehead. "We'll hold them off till you're ready to kick their asses too okay?"
Kushina stood up and faced Kyubi once more while Minato readied a pair of tri-pronged kunai. As if on an unspoken countdown husband and wife, father and mother leaped into battle. Minato launched one of his unique kunai before firing off the other a second after straight at the symbiote. The symbiote in response fired a large tendril from its mass straight at Minato. Kushina and her clones charged at the giant Nine Tailed fox. Kyubi roared before attempting to stomp out the group with his massive paws.
Some of Kushina's clones were caught in the attack and subsequently crushed, however they merely burst into smoke as a result of the crushing paw. Massive claw swipes followed the stomping. More of Kushina's clones were destroyed. But Kushina dodged and stayed unharmed getting underneath the huge fox and sliding to one of his nine tails. She quickly latched on began a heaving pull, accomplishing an amazing feat of strength, Kyubi easily thousands of times bigger than the Uzumaki woman was now halted and gradually being dragged back.
"Oh yeah you're definitely still very heavy furball!" Kushina yelled out. "Gonna need help with that, ladies!"
POOF!
POOF!
POOF!
In a series of multiplying smoke blasts that swarmed Kyubi. An impressive army of Kushina clones materialized all quickly grabbing onto Kyubi like an army of aggressive fire ants. Before long the great fox was now being pulled and pinned by the clone army. Just as he was about to utter a threatening roar of destruction to Kushina, Kyubi's snout was quickly ensnared by glowing chains that shot out of the Kushina's clone's bodies. In a matter of seconds Kyuubi was mummified in glowing chains. These were the Kongo Fusa, the Adamantine Sealing Chains of the Uzumaki Clan.
At the same time Minato disappeared in a yellow flash once more. He reappeared near the first tri-pronged kunai he deployed. This kunai was closer to the now extending tendril. While momentarily airborne Minato formed another ball of powerful spinning chakra. The tendril was ripped into a gushing splatter symbiote matter. Just as he countered the attack, Minato disappeared in a flash once more. The second kunai found its target quickly disappearing inside the symbiote's main body that was now fully formed into the muscular Venom like humanoid of before.
There was a small yellow glow that emanated from the chest of the symbiote, it noticed looking down before a force inside its chest began an outward expansion of the torso. The symbiote shrieked before an even bigger Rasengan exploded the symbote from the inside out. Minato leaping out from the center of the messy explosion quickly performed a series of hand seals. With speed and precision Minato exhaled blasts of violent flames, this technique was the Katon: Karyu Endan.
"Whoa…" Naruto said completely entranced by the amazing display of his parents. He then broke from the stupor before going back to what his parents had said earlier.
"They're my parents, my father is the Hokage and my mother is a Habanero…and they said I can stop both these monsters…they believe in me to be strong enough. My parents…" Naruto said aloud to himself as the realization began to fully dawn on him.
"I have parents! A mother and father…and they need my help!" Naruto said as feint blue glow slowly rose out of Naruto's small body.
"They said I can put an end to this, that I'm strong enough." The glow became stronger, expanding outwards rapidly flaming out like an inferno.
"My parents, my family needs me. And I am strong enough!" Naruto's eyes were now a blazing pair of dark blue spheres.
A blinding cerulean light began to drown out everything. Kyubi managed to break free of his chains only to howl in pain while Kushina turned to look at her son smiling proudly. Minato likewise halted his fire campaign against the symbiote, while the symbiote shrieked cowering away at the blinding blue light. Both parents paid no more attention to the fox and alien. They knew the fight was over now.
"He's far more amazing than we could have possibly imagined Kushina." Minato said in admiration.
"Of course, he's our son Minato. I already knew that, he's gonna be bigger than life and I'm damn proud of that fact." Kushina replied somehow able to hear her husband off in the distance.
The light only grew brighter and brighter as soon Kyubi showing actual fear now backed against his prison door as if it would somehow delay what was to come. The symbiote as well could feel itself evaporating to the sheer intensity of the blue light. Kushina and Minato were now beside each other. The red head's arms wrapped around the waist of her husband while his own arm was draped over Kushina's shoulders, proud parents both enjoyed the moment together as their son would take control of his own life.
In the outside physical world and reality, Naruto's symbiote encased form began to bleed out blue chakra. The seal on his stomach still blazed crimson out of the sleek black form. But now the blue chakra overwhelmed the black form of the symbiote. Naruto's motionless body was a solid blue adorned with a blood red seal. Blue chakra bled out and created a flaming aura that started to sheer off the grass causing the surrounding trees to shake and the earth to rumble.
"What is this feeling…?" A male nin with silver hair and an eye covered by a headband dressed in the garb of Konoha's elite ANBU said among a sizable group of other ANBU.
They stopped started to feel a powerful force growing as well. They were dispatched by order of the Hokage to investigate the earlier impact of the falling space object. The silver haired nin in particular was also ordered to find Naruto once word gotten out that he had ran out of the village to avoid a mob.
"Kakashi look there's a blue light over there!" An Anbu-nin called out from a tree top.
By now the cadre of Anbu could see it and at this point people from the village as well. Naruto's immobile body could not be seen as the aura turned into an azure inferno that looked to consume the entire forest. But as quickly as it formed it just as quickly disappeared being sucked back into the source. The crimson seal on Naruto's sleek blue body burst forth with a geyser of red chakra.
BOOOOOOOOOMMMM!
An earth shattering explosion of red and blue energy consumed a large portion of forest. And further out of the energy blast trees were flattened in an outward radius. Low flying debris was stopped by the enormous walls of Konoha but falling dirt, trees and rocks rained down on the village while the Anbu struggled to stay together and not get completely swept away by the violent explosion. The sheer force of the explosion was many times more powerful than the probe's crash. It was possible this could have even been felt in neighboring villages and even countries. The resulting mushroom cloud could be seen by many.
It would seem that this battle is over whatever it may have been. I must acknowledge this was nothing I had anticipated to happen. Such a spectacular display of power rather than a simple assimilation of one living organism by another, even I cannot say for certain if Naruto and the symbiote are still alive. This incredible feat is rather hard to measure; it's like the destruction of a star system on a less massive scale. Though my race knows better than any other that destruction can also be the key to creation, for now I shall continue to do what my race has always done, watch.
AN: And there you go, yeah there was a lot of talking, and I mean a lot. Especially coming up with a shit ton of babble that makes no sense whatsoever about multiverses. That's probably what makes this chapter only slightly different from the original posted. And if you haven't picked up on it. Aron is speaking to all of us readers hahaha. Well I hope people will have enjoyed this decently and trust me this will get better as the chapters go on. Like I said, you like Venom Kunoichi, you will like this a lot Anyways I gotta unwind with some video games and finish unpacking from Anime Expo 2015. Hope everyone had a good Fourth of July, peace.
