A/N: I'M BACK MOTHERFUCKERS~~!
Life has a funny way of kicking people in the balls.
Congratulations! You have been chosen for a second chance! You ready for round two?
Though this may qualify as the afterlife...dunno.
Well well well, you lucky dog, you've been granted a bit of a special boon. Tell me, do the word 'Klyntar,' and 'Gamer' mean anything to you?
"No to the first, yes to the second."
Well, you'll familiarize yourself with both in a moment here. Now then! The place you're being reborn to is...not like where your last life was. Hence why you get the boon of being a Klyntar.
"What is a Klyntar?"
You'll see. Now then! I'm out of time, so I'll hand the reigns over to your new abilities. Ta taa~!
"Wait, what do you-"
Pain.
Limbs compressing, torso liquifying, muscle control vanishing and multiplying all at once. Suddenly, an end to the pain, replaced by sensations. Body is flawless in reactions but without form. Breathing...I can't. I can't breathe oh god, oh god what-
The sound of hurried, yet quiet feet moving fast towards us.
Me? Us? I-I don't-
Suddenly, without warning, a foot landed on me-us-me-us-me and, almost instinctually, I wrapped around it, crawling upwards...and inwards. He-and it was a he-screamed in fear and agony, confused and petrified by me.

...Fuck it. "Perks."
Perks:
Symbiosis; Can link with any living creature./Host will slowly deteriorate if compatibility below 85%/Player cannot survive for 5 hours in an oxygen-rich environment without linking with a host/Player will boost all abilities of the host in a give-take relationship so both survive easier.
Bonded Boosts; These boosts are based on multiple factors. Compatibility is the main factor that changes the boosts./Boost percentage=overall stat buff.
Klyntar; You are a Symbiote, and nigh impossible to kill./Weak to fire, and sound, so watch yourself./You can feed off of most anything, but Adrenaline is the best source. It lasts the longest and is the tastiest./You will become enraged if referred to or treated as a parasite
The Original; Congrats, you're the first of your kind in this universe! Buuut that doesn't stop the same rules applying to you. If you have any offspring, they will be stronger than you, and if you don't raise them, things could get ugly./Fire and sound weaknesses CAN be nullified slightly over time or with perks, but never fully vanish.
Venom; YOU...ARE...VENOM!/You are the original and share the look of the famous comic character. Unlike whatever offspring you may have, you gain a +20 to all host stats plus whatever Bonded Boost you have based on Host Compatibility.
Gamers Mind; You and your current host are able to stay calm in almost any situation and have a +50% Bonus to mental resistance.
Gamers Body; You and your current host are immune to minor poisons, and will regenerate after just a few hours of rest./Klyntar-Symbiote-GB bonus(combo); You and your current host will regenerate by sacrificing Mana.
Observe; Observe any object or person to see their stats and uses.
Regain; Eating will regenerate Mana at a rate 1-1 with Health regen./Health will deteriorate 5/s if Mana hits 0

I almost lost observe? Woah, dodged a bullet there. Right...which way Is Konoha? Maybe this guy I'm in knows.
The man we-I-we-I Inhabited was stock still, blankly gazing into the middle distance, thanks to the fact I may have taken over his head. Which was not a good thing. Especially since there was a young, adorable kid with pale skin, black hair, and blacker eyes trying to get our attention. Shit. Okay, um…"WAKE UP!" I tried. It worked, miraculously. Our host jolted 'awake' and looked about, a little confused. His eyes finally landed on the kid and he blinked in confusion.
"Who the hell're you?" he asked, eying the increasingly familiar, to me, child.
"I am Itachi. You are inside of Uchiha lands despite being a shinobi not from any clan compounds." The boy drawled tonelessly, drawing a Kunai and glaring single tomoe Sharingan at us. Thankfully, my host was smart enough to look away. Unfortunately, he did so by closing his eyes.
"You dipshit!" I growled in his head, clearly surprising him at how he jerked suddenly. "Run!" I ordered, giving him a bit of a push from inside his own body, sending him skidding out of the path from the very sharp knife that just tried to stab him in the thigh. He got the message and shot off, chakra enhanced speed allowing him to bounce along the forest floor.
"The hell was that…?" He asked quietly, hopping from a fallen log to a distant boulder, landing and bouncing off again.
"It's your moral compass," I said teasingly. "It's been a while since our last chat."
"Okay, what the actual fuck?!" He hissed, coming to a stop and hiding behind a tree and clasping his hands. A moment later, something washed over us harmlessly. Me included, despite the fact that I was inside of him.
"Did you just try to Anti-Genjutsu me?!" I demanded, livid at the man. He flinched, whether it be at my tone, the fact it didn't work, or that I was loud, I didn't know, I didn't care. Bitch tried to get rid of me like some...some parasite! "Well I don't wanna be sticking around in you either, asshole, now listen up!" My host straightened, whether from indignation or instinct of hearing 'listen up' didn't matter.
"What?" He growled, on the move again, eye scanning the surroundings.
"We want to get away from each other, but I can't survive outside of your body. So, you get me to Konoha and into a new host, and we never see each other again. Capishe?" I asked. He growled for a moment but was obviously considering it.
"Fine!" he barked, suddenly altering trajectory and shooting away. I sighed within my own mind, relief flooding my...not-veins.

'Oh goodie.' I thought, body shifting happily. I paused. 'Do I smile by moving my whole body? I suppose unless I take a human-like form that makes sense...still…' I shivered at the creep-factor of that knowledge. A good ten minutes had passed before we, finally, came to a stop, sat upon a high building in what could only be Konoha, gazing down at the sparsely populated streets.
"Now what?" My host whispered, tense.
"Now we find someone I can slip away into. Get onto street level discreetly! Then just walk close to Civilians. I'll handle the rest." I hiss, shifting the majority of my body mass towards his hands. He dropped into an alley without a noise, joining the very light crowds roaming the streets casually, as if he belonged there, mask and armor seemingly forgotten behind a simple Henge.
"How will I know you've left?" He muttered, head low and trying to avoid the gaze off a duo of Genin strolling past, chatting amiably.
"Oh, I don't know, maybe when the voice in your head stops responding?" I drawled, annoyed by the dumb question. Suddenly, I saw them. A family of three heading down the street, dressed as though they had just left a dinner party. The father had pink hair...and the daughters matched, eyes emerald like her mothers.
"Her!" I ordered, most of me now concentrated in his left arm.
"The woman?" He asked quietly, eying the mother of a rather important girl with distrust.
"The girl." I said, anticipation thrumming through me.
"For real?" He asked, taken aback. I growled at him warningly. "Fine, see you never." He drawled back, brushing up against the trio enough to topple himself, the girl, and the woman. "Oh, sage! Sorry about that madam!" He said, laughing good-naturedly as he helped Mebuki up. Then, while both parents were too distracted by the oddly friendly Shinobi chatting amiably with them after the slight accident to notice he had a hand on their child's hair, I struck. With hardly a moments notice or hesitation, I removed myself from his body and hid in Sakura's moderately long locks, using the pink to disguise my black as I sank into her skin quickly. Just before the last of me entered the toddler, I saw him stumble back, eyes rolling into his head as he passed out. Then, I was admittedly quite distracted.

Well...life just got a whole lot more interesting.
A/N: Yes, I'm back, and yes my other stories will be updated soon. To anyone curious, this WILL be a powerful Sakura fanfic. Like, absurdly tough up until the Chunin Exam arc. And the reasoning for that is because I'm treating our dear Venom like a piece of late-game loot. Depending on who wears him and how, he could be nigh unstoppable, or stupidly weak. Also, I'll specify it later on, but I feel I should say it now so I will. Any stat that is buffed by BB(Or Bonded boosts) Is only active when the Symbiote is 'active.' Active being when Venom is more suit then subconscious. When he is on and in control, out for the world to see. Now V(Venom perk)boosts will apply to when the suit is off and on. Any future Symbiotes I add will not have this perk, but their BB's will make Venom pale in comparison. Kind of a balancing act so he doesn't seem irrelevant on the power scale once the others pop up. Phew, this took awhile. I hope you all enjoyed, PLEASE Rate and Review so I can know if its good, bad, what to change, any mistakes, any suggestions. That stuff. Let me know!
Also! Here is the 'end segment' of everyone's stats by the end of the chapter. If you'd like, I can do the math for you on just V stat buffs from now on. Let me know!
