Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.

Warning: The following chapter has the implied themes of sexual activities with an underage female, attempted sexual assault on a unconscious individual.

Also, since I know someone is going to point this out to me if I don't let it be known I'm aware. Yes I know Naru is considered an adult in the ninja world since she's a kunoichi, however, that doesn't change the fact that she is still physically twelve, and that makes several people myself included uncomfortable. However, I am being realistic hence why I gave the warning for readers who might be sensitive. Thank you for being considerate, Nerdzone6.


The Death of a Parasite:

It was midnight and nearly closing time at the Devil's Island. Hiru silently slipped out the back to take out the trash for the night. The back of the pub was dimly lit compared to the front, giving it a creepier vibe. The man wasn't concerned, however, as only an idiot would attack an employee of Gato. Lifting the lid of the dumpster, he dumped the large trash bags inside; as he moved to dump the last one, he was startled by rustling coming from behind him.

Retrieving his flip knife out of his pocket, he swirled around ready to confront anyone trying to sneak up on him. To his surprise, there was no one there. Hiru narrowed his eyes, looking around the alleyway. 'Whose there!" he said. Only silence greeted him until, "rustle." Hiru smirked, "Ah, there you are," he thought, aiming his weapon. He threw the knife at the trash pile.

"Grrrr!" the terrified tabby growled as it jumped out of the pile, running away before it was attacked again. Hiru smirked, "Serves you right, you stupid feline, for startling me like that," he thought, although he was somewhat annoyed with himself for being jumpy. Shaking his head, he returned to his task; he only had a moment to register movement above him. Looking up, the last thing he saw was a hawk mask before the world went dark.

Taka watched with dispassionate eyes as Hiru's body hit the pavement. This was not his first kill, nor would it be his last. "Target one has been eliminated," he said, whispering into his communications seal.

"Good work, Taka. Now we wait until Widow gives us the signal to continue," Jackals' gruff voice came on line.

"Hn," was the only response he received.

Meanwhile, back inside the pub, Nana was clearing out the last of the customers. A few of the men were so drunk that the girl was impressed that they could stand. Not that it mattered, as they would soon meet Jackal and Taka. Gato was counting the pub's monthly earnings in the back, so she decided she'd clean up a bit while she waited.

Nana could feel her excitement bubbling. Tonight, a month of hard work slaving in this hell hole would soon end, and she could finally return to base. Then she could achieve her goal, but for now, she had to finish this mission first. "You ready to go sweet cheeks?" a slimy voice came from her left. Glancing up from the glass she was cleaning, she eyed Gato's short form.

Nana smiled innocently at the man. "You bet! Let me just find Hiru-san and we can go," she said.

Gato smirked. "Sure thing, baby cakes. I'll be out front," he said. Making his way out front, he fantasized about all he wanted to do to the girl. So preoccupied he was, he didn't notice the girl's smirk as she made her way out the back.

Walking into the alley, her eyes scanned the area, pretending to search for her boss. The action was actually to check out for spies. A man like Gato always had eyes and ears. "Hiru-san, are you out here?" she said. She eyed the area next to the dumpster carefully, making sure Taka had cleaned up his mess. Thankfully, there was no blood in sight. "He actually did a decent job of cleaning his mess this time," she thought, amused.

Getting down to business, she went behind the dumpster to retrieve the scroll she'd hidden earlier that day. Of all the ninja arts, fuinjutsu had to be her favorite next to ninjutsu. It made missions like this one so much easier. Biting her thumb, she smeared her blood over the camouflage seal, which hid the locker seal she'd placed on the wall. Quickly, she retrieved the scroll, which held her equipment. A sadistic smirk made its way to her face. Oh, she was going to have fun tonight.

After sealing away her goodies into her body seal; she activated the destruction code she added to all her seals. It was an extra security precaution to make sure nothing could be traced back to Konoha. Once she was sure the evidence was destroyed, she went back into the bar, making sure to put back on her mask of a naïve orphan. As she was half way to the front, Gato called out. "Oh, sweet cheeks, would you be a dear and grab a few bottles of sake?" he said, trying to make his voice sound kind.

Nana stopped in her steps and repressed the urge to smirk. Just as she had predicted, however, she couldn't risk blowing her cover. So, tilting her head, she called back. "Is that okay to do?!" she said. She was close enough to the entrance that she could hear Gato grunt in annoyance.

The man stepped back into the bar, a fake smile plastered on his face. "Of course it is, dear. It's not stealing if you own the place," he said.

The girl looked at the older man, embarrassed. "Oh, sorry sir. I didn't know," she said, bowing her head down.

The man laughed. "Ha, Ha, child theirs nothing to apologize for. I'm glad to know one of my employees is of an honest mind," he said, walking back outside.

"He really thinks he's all that. Even if I was a real orphan girl living on the streets, I wouldn't fall for that stupid act of his," the girl thought, as she grabbed the special sake she had prepared for tonight.

Gato was waiting for her as she suspected; although he frowned slightly when he realized Hiru wasn't with her. "Where's your boss, honey?" he said, a hint of suspicion in his voice.

The young girl shrugged her shoulders. "I'm not sure. I went to look for him but couldn't find him anywhere. I hope he's okay," she said.

Gato's masked dropped for a moment, but it was all Nana needed to see the demon that lurked behind his eyes. Just as quickly, though, the man slipped his nice guy face back on. Putting a hand on her back, he turned her attention away from the bar. "I'm sure he's fine, dear. It's his loss. After all, I have one hell of a party planned for us at my home," he said.

"I'm sure you do, old man," Nana thought as she slipped on a mask of worry before brightening up. "Well, maybe he got so excited about the party he decided to beat us there!" she said, carefully watching the man's body language.

The man looked contemplative before smirking. "Ha! Ha! Maybe you're right. After all, no one can resist a party of mine," he said proudly.

The girl smiled as the two made their way to the man's home. When the two reached the gate, which was guarded by two men dressed as thugs, she stopped to inspect the place. Gato's home wasn't really a home but a mansion, which was styled to look like a traditional Japanese palace. Nana had a look of awe on her face, which one would expect when seeing luxury for the first time. The awe Nana displayed was for an entirely different reason. "I wonder how many innocent lives he ruined so he could buy this?" she thought.

"Too many," A voice spoke from the back of her mind.

"Jackal," she numbly acknowledged.

A cough caught her attention. Looking over, she saw Gato staring at her. "It's amazing, isn't?" he said, gesturing his hand over the mansion grounds, which were designed to look like a jungle.

Nana widened her eyes and nodded. "It's, It's incredible. I've never seen anything like it before," she said.

"Personally, I think the Raikage's tower was way more impressive," A deep voice came from the back of her mind.

"Oh! Kurama, you've come to join the party?" she said.

"Of course I am. I wouldn't miss the chance to watch some action," he said.

Nana restrained her facial expression even though she wanted to punch that perverted demon. Coming to her senses, she felt Gato put his hands on her back and lead her through the garden. "I know my garden is beautiful, but just you wait until you see the inside," he said, ignoring the girl's silence as awe.

Nana smiled. "Would you be so kind as to give me a tour?" she said, asking as nicely as possible.

Gato smiled. "Of course I'll give you a tour! It's not everyday I get to show off to guest, especially a guest as beautiful as you," he said.

Nana blushed. "Oh Gato-san, you flatter me!" she said, waving her hand back and forth in embarrassment.

The older man smirked but didn't say anything; instead he lead the two of them inside. As Gato had promised, the inside was even grandeur than the outside. One thing that surprised Nana, however, was how the inside was like a maze. "Oh, it looks like the old dirt bag has a few tricks up his sleeves. Nothing, I haven't been trained to handle though," she thought, memorizing every turn and corner.

"So this is why the women Gato trafficked couldn't escape. The place is designed so that they would get lost and be unable to find their way out. she analyzed the situation, very cleaver."

Gato was smirking like a man who just won the lottery as he showed what felt like every room in the place until finally leading them into what looked like his study. Inside, there were at least twenty men, all of whom were dressed as thugs, and giving the young girl lust filled looks. "Everyone, this is Nana, and she's come to party with us tonight. I expect you all to treat her well," he said, giving the men a playful but stern look.

A chorus of, "Yes, boss, or Of course boss, you can count on me," fill the room.

Nana resists the urge to roll her eyes. These men, if you can call them that are all the same. They think they've lured a toy to play with, but they have no idea that they've opened themselves up to a predator.

Gato laughs. "Okay boys and girl, let's get this party started! Nana, would you be a dear, and pass out the sake?" he said.

Nana smiles over at him. "As you wish!" she says, bringing over the sake bottles to the mini bar in the corner. Grabbing the sake glasses from the cup board, she carefully pours each one.

"Come and get your fill, everyone!" she says.

"Hooray, for Nana!" the men shout and quickly begin lining up at the bar.

Nana makes sure everyone gets a glass. Once everyone has been taken care of, Gato pulls her aside. "Nana dear, I think this place is too loud. I can barely hear myself think, why don't we go somewhere more quiet?" he says, his voice sounds soft but she can detect the deceit behind it.

She nods in agreement. "Sure, anything for you Gato-san," she says, following his lead towards the bedroom. She doesn't bother to check behind her.

The room Gato leads them to is his bedroom, as it's not only the largest but also the most luxurious. The walls are painted a relaxing baby-blue, and the floors are dark stained bamboo. In the center of the room is a large four poster bed. "I hate to say it, but he has good taste in decorating," she thinks to herself.

From inside his cage, Kurama huffs. "Such a pity then that it's about to get a makeover," he says.

Nana laughs mentally. "In red," she says. Enough with these games, it's time to start the real show.

Gato turns around and eyes her like a lion to its prey. "Nana, darling, it's been such a long day. Would you mind if I freshened up a bit?" he says, clasping his hands together.

Nana gives him her sweetest smile. "Of course not, Gato-san! Go right on ahead, I'll just go back and hang with some of the guys," she says.

The man's eyes widen in discomfort. "NO! I mean, Nana, you don't have to entertain those heathens. Instead, you can listen to the radio, and sip a glass of sake while you're waiting. Okay?" he says.

"Man! Can this guy be anymore obvious that he's up to no good," Nana thinks to herself, again forcing back the urge to roll her eyes. Instead she smiles at the man, batting her long eyelashes.

"Are you sure that's alright with you, Gato-san? I don't want to impose or anything," she says.

Gato chuckles, wrapping one of his chubby arms around her slim waist. "It's absolutely alright with me," he says, leading her to the bed. Without missing a beat, he walks over to another mini bar and pours her a glass of sake. He's barely suppressing his giggles, as he hands it to her.

"Now, Nana. If you finish this glass before I get back, help yourself to the bar," he says, before walking into the bathroom.

The last thing he hears before shutting the door is Nana's cheery call of. "Okay."

Thirty minutes, that's how long he waits before preparing to walk back into the bedroom. He wants to make sure the drugs have enough time to set in. He's excited, as if the blood to his groin was any sign. Still, as tempted as he is to just march in there and have his way with the girl, he knows it's better to be careful. "Nana dear, I'm coming out. Are you still awake in there?" he says, as he opens the door.

Stepping out of the bathroom in a white bathrobe, he can't help but smirk when he sees the young girl passed out on his bed. Walking towards the pre-teen, he inspects the girl. Nana is laying on her back wearing a purple blouse with a black skirt, black stockings and ninja sandals. The girl's beautiful red hair is spread out like a halo around her head, and her mouth is slightly ajar. The sake glass he gave her earlier was still in her right hand. He can't help but laugh at how naïve the child was.

Taking one of the girl's ankles, he pulls her down till they're face to face. "Such a stupid child. Didn't anyone tell you not to trust strangers? Ha! well it's too late for you now. Enjoy your sweet dreams Nana-chan because this will be the last time you ever have them," he says, removing his robe exposing himself to the world.

"You know, I thought it be bigger," a familiar voice speaks up.

Gato, startled, spins around just as a poof sounds from the bed. Glancing back at the bed, he's surprised to find Nana gone. "What the hell is going on?!" he thinks. He doesn't have long to contemplate, as a masked girl lands in front of him.

The girl is dressed in black under clothing, a grey flak jacket, metal arm guards and gloves, along with black ninja sandals. On her right shoulder in bright red, is the fire symbol. She also wears magatama style earrings. The most interesting part of her attire, though, is the mask covering her face. It's completely black except for a red hour glass painted on top; also, despite the mask having two regular size eye holes, there are also several smaller holes making it resemble a spider.

Gato ignores all of this, his mind only focusing on two things. One being the katana in the girl's hand, which almost hypnotizes him by its gorgeous handle. It was black with a red hourglass pattern. The second being her long, bright red hair, which has a clip on the right side. Once he sees her hair, it suddenly registers that this is a set up. "Those stupid islanders must have set this up," he thinks, anger replacing his fear.

Recognizing the red hair as Nana's, his fear is momentarily forgotten. He foolishly believes that this is just some useless weak kunoichi that he can defeat. His fear vanishing. A tick mark appears when he registers the girl's comment about his manhood. He'd make her regret that! Foolishly, he points a finger at her. "Who the hell are you, and where do you get off commenting about my manly parts? You stupid whore!" he says.

The girl tilts her head and points at his dick. "Was that supposed to be an insult? Also, if you don't want people to judge your manhood, you shouldn't display it for all the world to see," she says, voice monotone.

Gato's face goes beat read in anger. "That's it, I'm gonna make an example out of you, and then I'm gonna make those filthy villagers pay for hiring you! Guards! Guards!" he says, shouting at the top of his lungs.

"They're not going to come, so please stop screaming. It's hurting my ears," the girl says.

Gato growls. "Of course they're coming! Those men are the best fighters I could find. Once they come in you're done for! Plus, I pay them their fucking salaries, so they better as hell show up!" he says.

The girl snorts. "Seriously? Those guys were the best you could find? Any capable shinobi could defeat them in minutes, and that's exactly what I did," she said.

Gato's face is red in rage now. "What, how?" he says, refusing to believe his men were that weak.

The kunoichi shakes her head at this man's stupidity. "One word: Poison," she says.

Beads of sweat appear on Gato's forehead. Suddenly, the reality of the situation hits him. Kami-sama, he was in for it now. Desperate to survive, he goes back to his number one trick, bribery. "Look, um.. sorry I didn't get your name?" he says, looking at her questionably.

"Wow, now he's asking me who I am?" The kunoichi thinks in amusement.

"He's kinda slow, isn't he? Makes me wonder what other areas he's slow in?" Kurama says.

"Be glad we don't have to find out," his jailer says, who is ignoring his perverted comment for now. She'll punish him later.

Standing up straight, she stares down at her opponent. Gato could swear that she was smiling behind her mask. "I have a name, but I don't give it to my enemies. So, you can just call me Black Widow," she says.

Gato is sweating heavier now, his hands clasp together. "Well, Widow-chan, how about you and I make a deal? I can pay you whatever you want, and in return you let me live. How about it," he says.

Window looks at the man before her in disgust. "Look at this piece of crap begging for his life. I wonder how many of his victims were in this same position, and how many he said no to," she thought.

Kurama hums in agreement. "It's funny how the predator becomes the prey," he says.

Widow mentally laughs in agreement with her tenant. "Yes, it makes me want to crush their hopes," she says, eyeing her target.

Kurama smirks. "Do it!" he says.

"With pleasure," she says.

Widow turns her full attention back to her target. "All right Gato-san. I'll make a deal with you," she says.

Gato eyes her hopefully and smiles at her kindly. "Thank you, thank you so much! Name your price, anything you want, it's yours," he says. Although he really shouldn't be thanking her.

Widow gets into a thinking pose and pretends to think for a few minutes before clapping her hands together. "Okay! Here's the deal. If you can run out of this house without me catching you, I'll let you live," she says.

Gato's face goes from relieved to confused to back to relieved. "What? That's it? All I have to do is outrun her? Easy Peasy, I can outrun a little girl," he thinks, a smirk adorning his face. As stated before, he wasn't that bright.

"Oh kit, that's not a fair challenge, as no one can match you in stealth,"

"Yeah, but he doesn't know that,"

"I love how you think, Kit,"

"I know,"

Widow's attention is pulled back by Gato's reply. "Deal, let me just get dressed first," he says, moving to grab his robe when a shuriken enbeds its self inches from his hand.

The man looks at her, confused. Widow shakes her finger at him. "Uh-uh-uh. Since you have no shame forcing yourself on people, you should have no problem running through your home naked. Also, your time starts..Now!" she says.

Gato growls at the humiliation. Another shuriken, being thrown at him, gets his ass in gear. Without thinking, he throws a sake glass at Widow, and takes off running.

Widow catches the glass and shakes her head. "How disrespectful, and after I was no nice as to make a deal with him," she thinks in annoyance.

Meanwhile:

Gato was running as fast as his slimy legs could go, however, being overweight and short was working against him. He glanced behind him and was please to find the red haired bitch wasn't behind him. Turning back, he made it to the staircase. Unfortunately for him, though, some carefully placed ninja wire tripped him, and he went tumbling down the stairs. Too bad it didn't break his neck.

"Ow," the man cries out, the pain temporarily stopping him from moving. The sound of laughter makes his eyes shoot open in terror. Rolling over, he's shocked to see Widow standing at the top of the landing.

"Yo, Mister Badass Gangster, is this all you've got?" she says mockingly.

"The sadistic bitch is enjoying this," the gangster thinks in annoyance and slight humiliation.

Gato gives her a sadistic smirk. "You wish, bitch," he says, standing up. Pushing past the pain, he begins running again, this time he doesn't stop. After what feels like forever, he finally sees the front door. "Thank Kami, this nonsense is almost over," he thinks.

"Phwooooh,"

The gangster doesn't register the whistle until it's too late. It happens the moment he reaches the door. An arrow rams into his chest. Gato's eyes widen in shock, his body unable to move. He barely registers the sound of footsteps coming up behind him, but can feel Widow's icy breath against his neck. "We, we, had a deal," he says, falling onto his back.

Widow looks down at him. "The deal was only between you and me. I said nothing about my teammates," she said, watching the light leave his eyes.

Widow doesn't blink as Jackal and Taka swoop down behind her. "Good work, Jackal. You saved me from having to dirty my blade," she says.

"Phwooooh," Jackal recalls his arrow from Gato's body before turning to his female teammate. "I don't know why you even have that sword, since you always complain about using it," he said.

Widow ignores him. "Is everyone else taken care of?" she says, still staring at Gato's body.

Jackal and Taka nod. "Good, then you know what we have to do now. As much as I hate it, it's part of the job," she says, unsealing her second blade, which was the standard Anbu chokuto blade.

The woman's two associates nod before leaving to finish the mission. Leaving Widow alone to deal with dismembering Gato.


Authors Note: So here's chapter twelve of The Black Widow of the Leaf. I hope you enjoyed the chapter. I do have something I'd like to point out. I know the Anbu use a Chokuto sword, however, the Katana I gave Naru is her personal weapon. I also gave Shikamaru basically Yondu's arrow from Guardians of the Galaxy, because I think that would be the perfect weapon for him. Yes, he has a sword too.

P.S.S. Sasuke's special weapon has not been decided yet.

Also, I hope I didn't come off as bitchy at the beginning of this story.
