The Black Leaves

Chapter 19


"So," A bored out of his mind Naruto asked a hard at work Tazuna. "Is this all you're going to be doing?" The blond asked. Naruto, Baby, and Nightmare were the only memebers of Team Seven who were not required to train with Kakashi on chakra control. Mostly because none of them had any. Thus, the three abnormal members were left to guard the old bridge builder while the rest of Team Seven trained.

Tazuna paid Naruto no attention as he passed the kid with a stack of wooden planks held over his right shoulder. He and his small construction crew were working their asses off to complete the nearly finished bridge. Tazuna looked at the unfinished end and sighed in relief. If they worked straight through today and tomarrow; then the bridge should be finished by late afternoon the next day.

Naruto was standing against the railling with Baby lazily hovering around his head. Nightmare was quitely sitting on a wooden box, dressed in her rust stained white cloak. Naruto had yet to understand why she would not summon the Prayer or some kind of other Otherworld creature to help her around since only Naruto could carry her around otherwise.

The good news, however, was that she had regained the mobility in her upper body. For the past week and a half, Naruto had helped the burnt girl with her movements. He even chipped off some of the burnt flakes of skin that prevented the movement of her joints. Both were pleased when less damaged skin started to appear after several flakes were repeatedly removed. Nightmare was slowly healing.

Naruto simply couldn't wait for his guard duty shift to be over. Besides helping Nightmare regain her mobility, he had also been training to control the Venom symbiote. Just yesterday he was able to access, what he called "Symbiote Vision". The same vision that Venom had used while in control of Naruto's body when the Demon Brothers were eaten.

While Naruto was practicing at using his new vision, he discovered that he could see animals and humans through solid object; much like the byakugan of the Hyuuga family. Only he could only see the brain, heart and cerculatory system instead of the organs and vital locations when looking at a living being directly. He also took note of the slightly red-ish black hue everything took when using the symbiote vision.

Today, Naruto was planning on training with Venom's tentacles and blades. 'Just because the symbiote can't use them doesn't mean I can't.' Naruto had thought. He looked up at the sun to try and find out what time it was. It took the blond a few seconds to realize that he had no clue how to tell time by use of the suns positioning and instead just went back to watching the construction crew work.

Several hours of guard duty, switching posts and training, all of Team Seven and Tazuna's family, minus his daughter, were sitting at the kitchten table waiting for dinner.

The smallest person at the large table was a little boy named Inari. He was Tsunami's son and thus Tazuna's grandson. The child had not said a word the whole time Team Seven had been staying in the household and he constantly through dirty looks at the ninja. None of the ninja team payed him and head and would just continue with whatever they were currently doing.

Tsunami was just placing dinner on the table when Inari slammed his hands hard onto the table. This caused everyone's attention to focus on the silent child.

"Why do you guys even bother?" Inari shouted. "You will all just die if you continue to do this crap!"

"Inari!" Tsunami tried to reprimend her child.

"Gato's men are too tough for people like you! You will all just get yourselves killed if you continue to try and defy him!" He continued to yell and rant for a good five minutes.

Just before Inari's rant; Naruto once again felt that internal pain of symbiotic hunger. Since the time of the teams arrival to Tazuna's village, Naruto had not fed on anything and quickly ran out of chocolate. He had searched every nook and cranny of the small village for any amount of the delicious food. Unfortunatly, only a few stores carried chocolate, and those that did had it in such small quantities and high prices that Naruto couldn't really make much use out of it.

At the very end of Inari's rant, Naruto quickly stood up with either a pained or angry expression written on his whiskered face. Considering the situation, everyone assumed it was anger.

"P-please, excuse me," He said rather quickly before leaving out the front door. Naruto ran into the surrounding forest in an effort to get as far away from civilization as possible. He came to a stop in a rather large clearing and hunched over holding his pain filled gut.

Suddenly, Naruto felt something else. Like as if a part of him that had been missing was slowly comming back. He turned his to the side so fast that hes neck nearly snapped. He say a tall white figure standing at least a hundred yards on the other side of the clearing.

"Anti-Venom!" He roared as the Venom symbiote took complete control over his young body and forced the transformation into his demonic form.

"Today," Anti-Venom said. "One of us will die and the other will eat the defeated." He then loose a mighty roar and charged at his counterpart.

Venom released his own terrifiying roar and charged as well. The two ran across the length of the clearing and met in a massive head butt.

Anti-Venom realled back from the pain as purple blood dripped from the point of impact. Venom in turn completely ignored the pain of both the head butt and the pain caused by touching his poisoness twin. He swung his right arm and smashed the back of his fist against the side of Anti-Venom's bottom jaw with bone shattering force, sending the white symbiote sailing.

Anti-Venom shot out several tentacles out of his back and used those to both slow down his flight and to catapolt his self feet first at Venom. His human-like feet slammed into Venom's black chest forcing the beast to lean back. One leg was used to deliver a painful kick to Venom's bottom jaw while the other was used to push the white warrior off the muscled area. The force used drove Venom into the ground.

Venom gave a loud pain filled roar and gripped at his chest as twin trails of smoke emitted off the very spots that Anti-Venom's feet had been pressed against. Anti-Venom took the chance and lept at his target, head first with his jaws wide open and prepared to chomp down on Venom's neck. Before he could reach his target, however, Venom swung his arm and grabbed Anti-Venom's head in mid-flight and precedded to flip his self over and slam the white symbiote's head into the hard ground.

A few fangs shattered and fell from Anti-Venom's inhuman mouth and he caughed up a little blood. He rolled out of the way of Venom's incoming fist and swung a clawed hand at the attacking arm, causing three large gashes to appear on the limb along with a smoking trail.

Venom roared and pulled his arm back in pain. Anti-Venom jumped to his feet and shot several tentacles out of his hands and pierced Venom's shoulders before lifting the beast high into the air and slamming him hard onto the ground.

Venom dug his claws into the ground, thus preventing Anti-Venom from attempting the attack again and yanked hard on the white tentacles. This caused Anti-Venom to loose balance and allowed Venom to tear the offending tentacles out of his shoulders, leaving two smoking holes.

"Hunger!" Venom roared before sniffing the air. He growled at Anti-Venom and jumped backwards before turning around and jumbing into the surrounding woods.

"You shall not excape!" Anti-Venom yelled before giving chaice.

Venom ran through the woods untill meeting a small campsite that had two men sitting around a camp fire. Before they could even react, Venom scooped up one of them in his powerful grip and tore him in half with his mighty jaws and swallowed the man's head. The other camper tried to make a run for it but didn't even make it off the log he was sitting on before his head dissapeared in Venom's jaws.

"Die evil monstrosity!" Anti-Venom roared as he lept out from the woods only to have a thrown corpse knock him out of the air. He hit the ground and rolled out of the way of a log slamming down right were he had fallen. Before he could get up, Venom grabed his right ankle and hurlded the white symbiote at the deceased campers' tent.

Anti-Venom roared in agony as several of the tent's poles pierced his stomach. He lept to his feet and renched out the poles before roaring in rage at Venom, who returned the symbiotic insult. He shot out several tentacles in an attempt to wrap them around the black symbiote. However, Venom simply jumped over the attack and attempted to land on Anti-Venom.

Anti-Venom dodged backwards just before Venom landed and shoulder slammed the black symbiote the instant his feet hit the Earth. This caused Venom to stumble back and nearly land into the camp fire. Venom shoved off the aggreser and delivered a powerful right hook to the side of Anti-Venom's head. This sent Anti-Venom sailing into a tree.

Venom roared before charging at the temporaraly stunned white symbiote. Before Venom could reach his target, however, Anti-Venom tore off a large tree branch from the tree he had hit and smacked it across Venom's elongated face. Instead of sending Venom flying, Anti-Venom just used the make-shift weapon to repeatedly beat Venom's skull.

After several wacks with the tree branch, the weapon snapped and Venom took the chance to attack. He swung his left arm and connected the back of his fist with Anti-Venom's face and slammed a fist down on his other's back as Anti-Venom's body was knocked to the side from the first fist. Venom picked up the downed Anti-Venom and slammed him into the Earth head first. He slammed him several times before tossing him hard through the forest.

Anti-Venom's body tumbled through the forest as Venom lept after him. Just as Anti-Venom's body slowed down in it's tumbling, Venom landed near it and smashed a powerful fist against it to force it to continue to tumble across the ground. Unknown to the two combatents, they were quickly approaching the quite little village.

Venom again, lept into the air and landed just near his other. But instead of punching the still moving form; Venom grabbed one of Anti-Venom's legs and hurled the symbiote into the air and directly at the village.

Anti-Venom shot a few tentacles out of his right wrist and wrapped them around a street lamp. He tried to use the same tactic from earyler, catapulting himself directly at his target. Instead, a black fist smashed into his chest and sent him to the ground with enough force to cause his form to bounce off the dirt road. The same black fist bashed Anti-Venom's fanged face while he was still in the air from the bounce.

Venom grabbed his enemy's arm and swung him into the nearby household, basically destroying the entrance to the building. Once again, Anti-Venom sailed through the air; past the living room and kitchen of the small abode, untill slamming into the kitchen sink.

The family of four, that had been eating their dinner in peace, was surprised by the monster crashing through their house. The mother quickly grabbed her two little kids while the father stood between them and Anti-Venom.

Anti-Venom glared at Venom from across the house and dug his claws into the countertop before tearing out a rather large chunck and hurling it at the black symbiote. Venom knocked it aside before leaping head first at Anti-Venom; mouth agape. He sailed past the terrified family and nearly reached his target untill said target smashed his fist against the side of Venom's head.

This attack knocked Venom off track and caused him to smash his head into the refrigerator. Venom's powerful jaws crunched the metal door and he tore it clean of the fridge before tossing it aside and roaring in anger.

Seeing that the two monsters were focused on each other; the family of four quietly made their way out of the house and ran to try and get help. The two charged at each other and met in a clash of fangs and claws. The two clawed at each other while fangs dug into flesh.

The beasts continued to wrestle and crash through the house for the better part of an hour untill the sounds of a crowd could be heard from outside the abode. The two crashed through the second floor of the building and fell away from each other upon impacting the ruble covered floor. The instantly got to their feet and faced each other once agian and roaring challanges.

"Oh man! Kick-ass!" A teenage boy's voice could be heard coming from the front of the crowd.

"What the Hell are those things?" Another boy asked.

"Who cares? I'm betting my money on the black one. Just look at those arms! I bet he could tear a bear apart without even trying!"

"I think the white one will win," A girl's voice spoke out. "He doesn't look as scary as the black one. Plus, he's much leaner then the black one, so he must be faster. Speed always beats brute force." She ended smuggly.

Anti-Venom produced two rather large blades from his palms and dove straight for Venom with the weapons prepared to impale his muscular form. Venom caught the arial symbiote by the blades and slammed him onto the floor hard. He violently broke one of the blades nearly in half, causing blood to flow from the destroyed weapon.

Venom gave a loud roar before driving the white blade directly into Anti-Venom's right eye and raised the screaming symbiote into the air by the empailing weapon. Anti-Venom gripped Venom's arm and tried to wreanch his self free. He only succeded in driving the blade further into his cranium and into his symbiotic brain.

His body slowly became limb as his still living brain shut down all other bodily functions to allow the energy needed to repair the damaged brain.

Venom's jaws opened into a hidious laugh before unhinjing and opening wider then should be possible.

"Oh, no way." One of the teenage boy's laughed. "He's going to eat him, man. That black thing is going to eat the white guy. Sweet!"

Venom violently shoved Anti-Venom's head into his mouth and used his hands to shove his upper body down his gullet. The crowd out front gave a collection of gasps, shouts of fear and several other emotions as Venom tillted his head back and allowed his sharp tongue to wrap around Anti-Venom's remaining body hanging out of his mouth.

Venom tilted his head back and slowly pulled the rest of Anti-Venom's body into his stomach untill all of the white symbiote had dissapeared from view. Venom let loose an ear splitting roar of victory before grabbing his stomach in agony and falling to his knees.

Before his large, white eyes; countless memories flashed and returned to him. He could feel it; the feeling of completion that he had been lacking for so long. He could remember everything. His first host, his coming to Earth, the birth of Carnage; everything.

His stomach suddenly gave an incredibly painful convultion that brought the mentally returned Venom back to reality. He raised a closed fist and smashed it into his gut and tore his hand through his stomach. He grabbed at a small arm inside of him and violently pulled the unconscious body of a small child out of his own. The child's form was thrown and landed near the crowd, where a concerned woman quickly picked up the kid and scurried away.

Venom looked down as his body changed slightly. His muscular form shifted and changed into a more human-like form. He was still more muscular then any human, but in a way that just appeared to go right with the rest of his body. The still slightly smoking wounds he got from Anti-Venom healed as a white blotch formed on his chest and upper stomach.

The blotch changed into the shape of a rather large spider with eight extended legs. The top two legs wrapped over Venom's shoulders while the second and third pair went underneath his arms and around his midsection, respectively. The final pair of legs went over his hips. The same exact pattern formed on his back and each leg meet with it's frontal counter part. Like his large eyes, the spider symbol looked torn and frayed on the outside areas.

"Heheh," Venom chuckled while looking down at his hands. This caused the frightned crowd to back away a few feet. Venom looked directly at the croud and shouted out in joy. "Venom's back baby, and we're better then ever!" He then gave a rather loud, hearty laugh before leaping backwards and smashing through the back of the house and dissappearing from sight withen the woods.

One of the teenagers looked to the other one. "Dude, you owe me ramen for a week."


The next day, Naruto, Baby and Nightmare were to take guard duty after the human member's of Team Seven. This gave time for Naruto to fully train and get to know the real Venom. Everything he was told by Payback and Empress about his powers was true. The tentacles, symbiotic vision, growing claws/blades; all came second nature to young Naruto. As if he had always had them his whole life.

Baby screached in joy as she watched her father swing from tree to tree in inhuman acts of flexability. Nightmare could only sigh in delight as she watched the return of the great Lord Venom. Naruto had notices a slight change in his physique after completely bonding with the Venom symbiote.

For one, his body had grown a little more muscle; not enough to be noticed at first glance, but if stared at long enough one would notice the slight change. Naruto also noticed the spider tattoos on his front and back that matched the white spiders on Venom. Except these were only black outlines of the marks and not the white symbol.

Naruto enjoyed his new abilities and shifted from his human for to Venom's new level one look. He had a talk with Venom over who would gain control and when. Naruto would always be in complete control unless his life; and thus Venom's, was in danger, Venom's was almost starving to death or if Naruto had lost consciousness and was unable to continue a fight.

Venom argued against these rules at first. He tried to point out how his own grandchild, Toxin, was allowed at least four hours of 'play time' just as long as it was within the rules of law. Unfortunately for the symbiote, Naruto was too hard-headed to listen to any of Venom's complaining and stuck with his idea. Venom begrudgingly agreed to the terms.

After a few hours, the two factions switched guard duty and training before, hours later, returning back to Tazuna's residence for the night. Inari was as silent as he normally was, but he didn't give the death glare he normally gave to the shinobi. Instead he seemed to show a slight bit of admiration to the blonde haired ninja on the team.

'Must have been something Kakashi-sensei said to him last night,' Naruto thought to himself. Venom just shook his mental head in slight dissapointment.

"Excuse me, Naruto-kun," Tsunami said as she placed that evenings meal on the kitchen table. "Are you okay this evening?" She asked generelly concerned.

Naruto gave her a confused look before Venom mentally slapped his host. The blond remembered running off before dinner last night and returning late into the night. He came up with a quick and well thought out excuss.

"My stomach hurt last night. It must have been something I ate. I'm okay this evening," He ended with a smile. It was not a complete lie.

"Eating too much ramen and chocolate will do that to you Naruto," Kakashi said while reading his smut. The one eyed jounin had finally fully healed and was able to train with his team without the hinderence of any broken bones. Naruto simply pouted at the remark. Baby squeeled and nuzzled into her papa to try and cheer him up. The action did cause a chuckle to escape his mouth as he tried to pry off the friendly metroid.

During dinner, nothing but some light conversation was had and then followed by everyone getting ready for bed.

Naruto was the fifth one to take his evening shower, after Tazuna, Tsunami, Inari and Kakashi. He was relatively quick and was looking at his self in the mirror while only wearing a towel.

"We gotta' say," He said outloud. "We think we like this tattoo." He turned a bit so that he could see the back of the spider. A sound from the bathtub drew Naruto's attention to the white porcelain fixture. He produced a tentacle out of his right shoulder and used it to move aside the white shower curtian.

Inside were two nurses rubbing their heads in pain and sitting on the floor of the bath tub. They appeared to have accidently bumbed heads while trying to sneak up on Naruto. The blond shot the Otherworld monsters a confused look.

'Hey Venom, why couldn't we sence these two nurses?' He asked the symbiote. He had already learned of the built-in alert system, but the lack of any signal did not exactly fill Naruto with confidence should a real threat appear in the future.

'We can't sence dangers from other dimensions.' Venom stated bluntly, like as if it was no big deal. However, Naruto did think it was an important matter.

'What if an enemy uses dimensions to try and kill us?' Naruto mentally paniced. Venom just sighed.

'Do you know anybody else, besides Nightmare, that can use any form of dimensions?' He asked the idiot. Naruto actually tried to think of a response and almost missed the two nurses reaching for his towel.

Just before their dirty hands could touch the cloth, Naruto simply moved his hips backwards to avoid their grasp. That did not detour the determined monsters. The twin nurses climbed out of the bath tub and lunged at Naruto with their arms wide open.

Naruto was able to dodge the grasp of one of the nurses, the bathroom door prevented his escape from the second nurse. She wrapped her arms around Naruto and pined his own arms to his sides. The other nurse quickly tore away Naruto's towel before wrapping him up in her loving embrace. Naruto tried to escape, but for some reason his symbiotic abilities seemed to have dissappeared.

'Venom, help us!' Naruto begging his parasite. All he got was Venom's laughter echoing around his skull.

'After several hundred years of barely even existing; we could use some enternainment. And guess what, kid? Your it.' He laughed heartily as his host shoved off his adorrers and tried to force open the door.

Naruto finally opened the bathroom door right when both nurses double-teamed him and all three were sent to the hallway floor. Nightmare just so happened to be sitting right on the opposite side of the hallway and watched as Naruto tried to wrestle off the two nurses. Naruto would bet his whole life savings that Nightmare was smiling while watching the whole event.

Unfortunatly, the noise attracted the other occupants of the house hold. Everyone came running into the hall to see Naruto being assulted by two Otherworld nurses moaning while trying to get as much physical contact as humanly possible.

Tsunami and Sakura blushed and covered their eyes when they saw Naruto's state of dress, or, lack-there-of. Sasuke, dissapointed that there was not any real threat, went back to bed while Kakashi and Tazuna watched with rapt attention as one of the bottons on a nurse's outfit popped off.

"Why isn't anybody helping!" Inari yelled as he ran over to try and 'save' Naruto from the monsters, only to be shoved aside by a nurse dry humping Naruto's left leg.

"This kind of stuff always happens with Naruto. Just enjoy it while you can." Kakashi barely explained while another botton popped off. Baby squealed happily and zoomed over to her father and sat ontop of his head.

Suddenly, the final button on one of the nurses' blouse's popped off and the blouse slid off her shoulders and revieled her surprisingly clean and healthy breasts. Every male in the room began to have a nose bleed as that one nurse sat straigh up ontop of Naruto's stomach and proudly pushed out her ample bosom.

Naruto's bright blue eyes slowly rolled up into the back of his head as he descended into unconsciousness. A shroud of darkness slowly overtook Naruto, the two nurses and Nightmare; thus blocking the view from perverted eyes. Baby popped out from withen the shadow and gave an angry squeal before charging back in, only to appear on the other side. Tazuna and Kakashi gave groans of protest before returning to their rooms while Tsunami and Sakura tried to find something to occupy themselves and try and get Naruto's naked image out of their heads. Inari just continued to stare at the curtian of darkness.

Inside said shadow; the two nurses' assult had settled down a great deal. Both were gently rubbing themselves against Naruto's naked body while cooing softly. The fully clothed nurse slowly got off Naruto and got to her feet. She walked over to the observing Nightmare and used herself as a crutch for the symbiote. The nurse's half naked sister stoped her actions to watch her sister slowly bring over their weakened creator.

Both of the nurses helped remove Nightmare's make-shift cloak and set her down next to Naruto. Nightmare stared at Venom's human host and slowly raised a crispy hand up to his sleeping face and placed it on his cheek. She was well aware that Venom was only a hunter class of symbiote, while she herself was an immature queen; she still could not hold back her admiration.

Like every other species of social insects; the symbiotes had their own diversity system. The queen, obviously, was at the very top of the system and whose main duty was the rule over the horde. Only one queen existed at a time withen the Hive Just below the queen was the soldier type of symbiotes, whose purpose were to protect the Hive and the queen and her offspring. Only a handful of soldiers existed withen the Hive.

After the soldiers was the hatchers; the birthing symbiotes. Though all symbiotes can easily reproduce both asexually and sexually, the hatchers sole purpose was to give birth to specific types of symbiotes. The number of hatchers inside the Hive varied depending on what was needed. Just after that class was the hunter type, whose purpose is to, obviously, hunt down food and bring it back to the Hive. The final type of symbiote was the cleaner class, simply put, they were the janitors of the Hive.

There are also countless other types of symbiotes with their own purpose withen the Hive. After several million years of evolution, the need for a cast system had nearly been removed. Now, all symbiotes can reproduce any type of symbiote; excluding queen symbiotes, find and hunt prey and defend themselves. The physical evolution's of the symbiote race, however, had not yet fully caught up with the mental evolution. So the symbiotes still had most of the physical characteristics of their ancient cast system.

Nightmare pressed her charred, naked body up against Naruto's and reveled in the feel. She completely ignored the pain the physical contact created as she layed her head against Naruto's chest and listened to the sound of his symbiotic heart. All symbiotes had their heart on the right side of their body, as apposed to the left-sided heart humans had. This included their hosts. Nightmare slowly fell asleep while listening to the thumping of Naruto's heart.

Some time in the late evening, several Otherworld denizens appeared from the shadows and carefully picked up the sleeping genin and set both down on Naruto's bed. They were even kind enough to clothe Naruto in his jumpsuit and Nightmare in her make-shift cloak before setting the two down in the same position they passed out/fell asleep in.


The very next morning, Naruto awoke to a loud scream and the sound of shattering pottery. Without even thinking completely; Naruto jerked his self over to his side while his left arm became fully incased in symbiotic tentacles. The arm punched through the floor and streatched out to grab a male person's head. Naruto pulled back his arm, bringing the man up through the floor and delivered a quick punch to the guy's gut.

Naruto turned the man upside down and dropped him head first down the hole and dropped down after him. The blond landed ontop of the man's head, knocking him clean out. In front of Naruto stood another man with an undrawn sword holstered on his hip. He held Tsunami by the hair and Inari was on ground, looking like he had just been pushed over.

"What the fu-" The swordsman started to say, but got interuppted by a black arm grabbing his face and smashing him into the kitchen table so hard that the table's legs snapped. The guy no longer moved.

Naruto turned to Inari, who was helping his mother up to her feet. "Inari, we want you to stay here and protect your mother." He ordered. Inari looked directly into Naruto's eyes and saw the burning determination mixed in with unmatched power. He instantly knew that Naruto was releing on him. He nodded somewhat dumbly at Naruto.

Naruto returned the nod. His Symbiotic sence was going out of control; something was seriously wrong. Naruto prepared to rush off in the general direction that the tingling in his brain was directing him, but first needed to get something.

He shot his symbiotic upwards at the whole in the ceiling and several tantacles came out and attached themselves past the second floor. Naruto pulled his arm back hard and flew through the hole and landed gracefully on his feet. He rushed over to the closet door and nearly tore it of it's henges.

Inside was the terrified form of Gato's daughter, wrapped up nice and tight in a bundle of symbiotic tentacles.

"You're coming with us," Naruto said as he tossed the struggling over his shoulder and lept down the hole and out the open front door. He leapt up into the surrounding tree line and headed twards the bridge.

Since His whole team were not in the house just a few minutes ago, Naruto atomatically assumed that they had gone to the bridge along with Tazuna. The thought that something bad was happening to his team pushed Naruto to go faster, causing him to break the large branches he stood on upon lift off from one to the other. All the while, he slowly transformed into gis symbiotic body unconsciously.

As his body was slowly overtaken by black symbiotic tentacles, Gato's daughter tried to scream her head off. Luckily, the tentacles binding and gagging her were oreventing said screaming.

Something out of the corner of his large white eye caught Venom's attention.* It was the cut up corpse of a wild boar. Venom came to a sudden halt and leapt to the ground next to the dead pig. He looked at it, then to the direction of the bridge, then to Gato's daughter then back to the boar. He shrugged his large black shoulders and dropped the girl before dropping to his knees and taking a large chomp out of the still warm flesh.

Gato's daughter was trying her damndest to scream as loud as humanly possible as she watched the grotesque sight. She tried to look away, but the tentacle wrapped around her neck was also wrapped around her shoulders and forced her to constantly face forward.

Venom ate at a pretty rushed pace and decided against devouring the boar's digestive system. He did crunch on a few bones just for the Hell of it. When he finished, Venom licked his face and fangs clean of the gore.

"Not as good as a fresh kill, but it will do." He said before grabbing Gato's daughter and hoisting her over his shoulder. He took to the trees and continued on his way to the bridge. He couldn't help his already terrrifying face grow into a massive, fang filled grin.

'This is going to be fun.'


* For now on, whenever Naruto is using the Venom symbiote. He will be refered to as Venom.
