The Black Leaves
Chapter 5
When Sarutobi Hiruzen arrived at his office, the first thing he noticed was an unconscious and naked Naruto lying in the middle of the room. Several black chains hung limply around his young body.
The second thing he noticed was his plush and expensive chair flying through the air, directly at him. Hiruzen ducked just in time before said chair embedded itself into the hallway wall behind him. The second he stood back up, he had to side-step his incoming wooden desk, which was turned to wooden splinters upon impact with the wall and his chair.
When the aged Sarutobi moved back in front of his office doorway; he noticed a third thing standing behind Naruto that subsequently caused a small trickle of blood to leak out of his nose.
Standing before the Hokage was a completely bare female symbiote. She stood at just under seven and a half feet and had silver-blue skin. Her pure silver hair reached the small of her back and appeared to wave without the need of wind or any other outside stimulus. Her eyes were large and white like Venom's, but lacked the tears around the edges and were smooth, unlike Venom's face; which was elongated and more muzzle-like. This symbiote's face was more human like, except for her eyes and the millions of needle-like teeth in her jaws. She had three clawed toes on each of her feet, two faced forward while the third faced back. On each of her fingers, the female symbiote had sharp serrated claws. A thin layer of muscle could be seen underneath her uniquely colored skin showing that she was healthy and thin. The creatures large, naked breasts stood firm and with dark blue nipples. The only hair that the old man could see was the flowing mane on her head.
"What the Hell have you done?" The female symbiote screamed. "Do you have any fucking idea how lucky you and your pitiful village are to be alive right now? You had better be grateful that Venom didn't reach his level two form, or else there wouldn't be a village standing here at all!"
Hiruzen just stared at her. "Excuse me?" He mumbled slightly, his eyes still transfixed on her slightly jiggling breasts.
She snapped her fingers a few times, "Our face is up here you old pervert," When she saw that she had gained his attention she continued. "We are the symbiote known as Payback, bitch. And you are in a Hell of a load of trouble!"
The Hokage instantly went from 'old pervert mode' to 'village leader mode' at her words. "What are you talking about?"
"Let us get you up to speed on your predicament here grandpa," Payback snarled. "While you were sitting in your pretty little office reading your porn, some old man wrapped up like a mummy decided to harm our poor Naruto-kun. If he did not have Venom inside of him he would be dead right now," She glared at the Hokage as his eyes widened in shock. "Fortunately, the sudden shock of the attack forced Venom to take over his host and eat the persons responsible for the attack. Then he came to the academy. Around the time of his arrival, someone finally alerted you to what was going on."
"And then I had everything taken care of-"
"Wrong!" Payback yelled. "You almost made things worse!"
"How?" The Hokage asked forcibly. He did not like this symbiote. She was acting too much like one the Konoha council members.
Payback gave a heavy sigh, "Because of Venom's current lack of intelligence and self-control, he could have easily reached his level two form and destroy everyone and everything inside of this village."
"Well it does not matter now. Naruto has returned to normal and the casualties were kept to a minimum."
"Our leader is still pissed off."
"What leader?" Sarutobi asked as he pulled a folder out from within his robes and opened it to a marked page. "You never mentioned any sort of leader or organization in this report!"
Payback chuckled darkly. "Old fool, no one with even the smallest amount of intelligence would hand over all of their secrets, even to an ally. We only told you what you needed to know. Nothing else. There are at least ten thousand symbiotes that live on this little planet."
"You also mentioned a 'second form' that Venom possesses; that's not in the report either!" The Hokage shouted.
"As we just said, 'we only told you what you needed to know." Payback countered calmly.
Sarutobi glared at Payback. "Well then, I feel that since I am the one who has to give an explanation to this entire village on what the Hell is going on; then shouldn't I be given at least some information that could be useful in formulating a good lie?" He asked with as much authority in his voice that he could muster.
Payback sighed and slightly turned her head so that she could see the window better. She then shrugged her shoulders. "Eh, we've got an hour or so to spare. We guess we can have a friendly conversation with an old fart. It will do you some good to actually know what you're going to have to deal with soon." Payback then walked over to the unconscious Naruto, picked him up, carried him over to the coach in the room, sat down and placed the little boy's head onto her shapely lap. She then gave the naked boy a loving glance. "He's so cute." She whispered to herself as she began to slowly stroke Naruto's hair.
The Hokage just gave an indifferent stare.
Payback stared back. "What?" She asked defensively.
The old man simply raised one of his hands up in a 'never mind' like fashion. "Nothing, nothing. Please tell me about your home and leader."
"Very well." Payback said, and then cleared her throat. "First, the home of the symbiotes. There is no real name for our home, but just like yours; it is also a hidden village. Obviously we're not going to tell you were it is. That would ruin the whole point of having a hidden village."
The Hokage gave a small scowl at the information.
"But we will tell you that it is hidden in a large mountain range. Only those that are allowed to enter our village either have a symbiote or have been given permission from our leader. And that's our entire home that you need to know. As for the leader of the symbiotes; that we can give you more information on."
Hiruzen's grabbed a chair from within the closet inside his office and sat down.
"First off, our leader is female and goes by the name Empress. Empress is the most powerful symbiote on this planet; except for our Venaru* and has the power to back up such a claim. She has the power to control almost completely control anything that has even the smallest strand of symbiotic DNA inside of it. That is how she created our village. Empress very rarely has to use her awesome power; we all love and respect her too much to go against her orders, even if it means our deaths."
Before Payback could continue; Sarutobi pulled out the note he had received earlier. "What about this?"
Payback looked at the piece of paper for a moment then calmly said, "Oh, that? Empress, her top advisor, her best steed, and myself are coming in about a week. And before you ask; the reason behind the visit is quite simple. Because one of your village citizens is in possession of the most powerful symbiote in existence, Empress feels that she should come here to discuss with you about a possible treaty."
Payback turned her head to the window and gazed down Yondaime Lane. Yondiame was the main street in Konoha and lead a straight line from the village gate to the Hokage tower. The street was about half a mile on either side. During the Kyuubi's attack on the village; when Gamabunta and the demon fox fought; The Kyuubi used an attack that sent the toad boss straight through the front gate of the village. He skidded across the ground in a straight line, destroying everything between the Kyuubi and the Hokage tower. Before he could demolish the tower itself, Gamabunta came to a sudden halt with the hero on top of his large head. It was at that spot that the Yondaime Hokage was able to seal away the chakra monster, and so thus the stretch of land was left undeveloped and was given its name.
"You're lucky that this street is so wide." Payback said.
"And why would that be?" Sarutobi asked with a smug tone.
Payback turned her head back to face the Hokage. The corners of her large, toothy, mouth curled up into a twisted smile. "Cuz Kraid is pretty big." She giggled.
Hiruzen simply raised a confused eyebrow at her remark.
"Well," Payback said as she gently moved Naruto off of her, stood up and stretched. "We guess that we'd better go now." She silently walked over to the window and opened it. "Oh, before we forget." She said as she placed a foot on the window sill. She turned her head a tad to look at the Hokage. "Don't worry about mummy man. After we tell Empress about what he has done. We are sure that she will enjoy giving him a little bit of Payback!" She leapt from the window sill, laughing with maniacal glee.
Just as her laughter faded away, Kugimiya Madoka, the Hokage's personal secretary, burst through the door. "Hokage-sama!" She said in between gasps. She was not a ninja and appeared to have rushed over to the Hokage's office. "The council is requesting a meeting immediately. All of the council members have already gathered in the meeting hall, they are awaiting your arrival, sir."
Sarutobi looked over to her. Madoka was a young woman of about twenty-five and had the figure to prove it. But her youth was not the main reason that she was hired. Her exceptional ability as a secretary, however, was the reason. She had somehow been blessed by the gods with the amazing ability to complete at least a week's worth of paperwork in a single day. But, alas, most of that paperwork still had to be done by the Hokage himself, so Madoka's awesome power was very rarely used. The other reason that she was hired was her unusual kindness. No one has ever seen her get angry at anyone or anything. That includes Naruto. One time Naruto pulled a little prank on Madoka that caused a bucket of ice cold water to fall on top of her; she simply laughed it off and smiled the rest of the day.
"Thank you, Madoka-chan. Could you please do me a favor, and take Naruto-kun home and put him to bed, please?" Sarutobi asked his secretary.
She glanced over at the boy and smiled. "No problem, Hokage-sama. I'll have him at home and in bed before you're out of your meeting."
The Hokage thanked her and left his office. As he made his way to the meeting hall, he tried to think of how he was going to handle the chaos that he knew was going to happen.
"What the Hell was that thing!" One Yamanaka Inoichi demanded the moment the Hokage stepped through the door. The whole meeting area was abuzz with conversation.
"Please, calm yourself." Hyuuga Hiashi's emotionless voice said.
"Shove it, Hyuuga! Your daughter wasn't almost killed by some freaky demon from Hell!" Inoichi shot back.
"Inoichi!" The Hokage's voice boomed, causing all conversation to come to a halt and the room to go silent.
The Yamanaka clan head glared at the Hokage for a moment then took a deep breath. "I apologize." He said.
"Despite Inoichi-san's temper, Hokage-sama," Utatane Koharu interjected, "We all would like to know what this great black demon is."
Sarutobi cleared his throat. "I do not have any clue as to what that monster was. I do know that it has been destroyed by my personal squad of elite ANBU."
"That is all fine and dandy there Hokage-sama, but beyond its destruction did you learn anything?" Koharu asked again. The urgency in her voice caused Hiruzen to raise an eyebrow.
"Like I said, no information about the beast could have been obtained. But, I feel that it had some relationship with Orochimaru."
This caused the room to once again be filled with murmurs and whispers. The thought of Orochimaru creating something as fearsome as that monster was enough to cause some of the clan members to think of upping there clan defenses.
"Why do you say that, sir? From what information we have gathered so far, there has been very little activity involving your past students, including both Tsunade and Jiraiya." Fugaku said.
Sarutobi just stared at all of the clan heads and his old team-mates for a moment. "The tongue." He said with a smile. Everyone fell over at his blunt answer and his apparent joy at figuring out a resemblance between the snake master and the black demon.
"Please be serious, Sarutobi." Mitokado Homura chastised his old friend.
Again, Hiruzen cleared his throat. "All joking aside, we have a very important matter to attend to."
Everyone's attention was now back on the Hokage.
"In about a week a very important person shall be arriving into our village. I want everyone here to have all of their closest family members and their strongest clan members to be in front of the Hokage tower by then," He turned to the civilian part of the council. "As for the non-ninja council members, I want you all to gather your families and best wares at the same location. I don't want any foul-ups; this person has enough power to completely destroy this village without as much as a flick of a finger. Be prepared, I don't know the exact time when they will arrive so be at the location in the early morning. Am I understood?"
"Yes, sir, Hokage-sama!" Everyone said.
After several more hours of random matters that needed to be addressed; including the ever so popular 'What to do with the demon child', the meeting was finally over. As all of the council members left the room, Sarutobi's eyes fixed themselves on Danzo's limping form. 'Just what are you planning to do to Naruto? What do you know?' He thought to himself.
Suddenly the head of the Nara clan walked up to the village leader. "Hokage-sama," Shikaku began. "Could you please get a table in here? It's so troublesome to just stand in here for sooooo long, I get tired."
"I'll see what I can do."
And that is it for chapter five my perverted friends... And before you ask, yes there will be some naughty tidbits here and there...give me a break it's my first fanfic.
