The Black Leaves
Chapter 22
Danzo and his surrounding ninja watched the video screen for a few seconds. Only seeing static with some garbled words being heard every now and then. Slowly, after one of the ROOT ninja banged the desk hard enough, the video and audio became crystal clear...
Danzo's top infiltration team had finally hacked their way into the symbiote's secret lab and had found just a mass of hallways on the third floor. The only doorway they were able to hack into. They had been traveling as silently and slowly as humanly possible to not attract any attention at all what so ever. The only sounds that could be heard were the near silent buzzing of a few faulty lights.
Suddenly, an echoing clang was heard a short distance away from the team. The ROOT team leader gave a few silent hand signs and the team pressed themselves up against the wall and tried to hide in any possible hiding location. After staying motionless for exactly five minutes; the team leader gave the hand sign to keep moving.
A sudden series of loud metallic bangs and clangs were heard coming from both behind the team and from an adjacent hallway. The ROOT ninja took to their heels and dashed down the "safe" hallway until the banging came to a halt. The ninja team instantly slowed down to a silent walk and continued onward.
Not two minutes later, the newest member of the ROOT team; who wore a simple white mask with only one thick red line running across the width of the mask; spoke out. "They're watching us."
The team came to an immediate halt and the other members of the team turned to face their comrade. "Explain." The team leader emotionlessly commanded.
"From the moment we blasted open the main gate. I have had the feeling that we were being watched. I refused to mention it in hopes that it was just paranoia due to this being my first mission as a ninja of Lord Danzo's. But, I swear I keep hearing this unusual scratching noise from within the walls." The newbie looked from his superior to one of his teammates and noticed a sudden movement from behind one of the large vents that ran along the ceiling and walls of the many hallways.
The vents were rather simple. Just some thick metal grating with a large fan in the center. The slowly rotating fan and large metal frame prevented the rookie-ish ninja from fully seeing what was inside the ventilation system.
"They are using the vents, sir." He stated with no emotion. The team leader gave a slight nod of his head and gave the signal to run. The ROOT ninja bolted at breakneck in the supposed direction of the cell holding Carnage. The team took several sharp turns this way and that while never decreasing their running speed. They could see the movement from behind the vents clearly on some occasions, but had no other interaction with the lab staff beyond such instances.
After at least thirty minutes of well paced running, the ROOT team finally came to a steady halt in front of a large set of steel doors with a large red X painted on. The demolitions expert of the team stepped forward and prepared to use his remaining explosives to demolish the obsticle. But before he could get close enough to place an explosive tag; the large doors made a series of loud clicking noises, like as if a large number of locks were being released. A thick plumb of steam shot out of the the four corners of the twin doors as they slowly opened. The loud metallic groan that resonated from said doors was proof enough of their lack of use.
Behind the massive barricade was another set of giant steel doors with two large red X's painted on them. The ninja slowly stepped forward and the second set of doors unlocked, released steam, and slowly parted. Behind them was a short hallway that was lined with large speakers; the speakers were constantly making a high pitch whine that was a cause of slight irritation for the ninja. The next set of doors were exactly like the last two, but with three Red X's.
For the next forty-five minutes; Danzo's ROOT ninja slowly continued forward past over a dozen of the steel doors, each with one more X than the last. Behind each set of doors, was a short hallway lined with speakers making a high pitch whine. After the twenty-first door, however, the team was introduces to a new room.
The room was gigantic; at least as tall as Hokage Mountain and was longer/wider as training area forty-four, eight and seven combined. The room was just as deep as it was tall and was almost filled to the height of the door with magma. Along the walls of the massive room were small-cone shaped spouts that released jets at exactly fifteen second intervals. Between each fire spout was a speaker playing the same high pitched continues tone.
In the very center of the room was a much smaller square structure; completely composed of thick steel plating. The small square structure rested upon a cylindrical platform surrounded by a wall of white hot fire. Painted on the side of the steel square was a single word painted in blood red; CARNAGE.
The leader of the ROOT ninja team took a single step forward. A loud saxon alarm started up as the whole room was covered in dark red light. "WARNING!" A mechanical, female voice rang out through the whole lab. "PRISONER DESIGNATED: CARNAGE HAS BEEN AWAKENED! ALL PERSONAL PLEASE REPORT TO YOUR DESIGNATED SAFETY QUARTERS! LADY EMPRESS AND THE ROYAL GUARD HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED! ALL SECURITY SYSTEMS HAVE BEEN ELEVATED TO EXTREME! PLEASE HAVE IDENTIFICATION PREPARED FOR SECURITY SCAN OR RISK COMPLETE DESTRUCTION! HAVE A NICE DAY!"
The voice repeated itself three more times before both it and the alarm came to a sudden stop. The area was still bathed in the dark red light and the room started rumbling violently. From both sides of the massive room; two thick steel floor panels came slowly out and traveled to the center of the room. Each floor panel had a series of square "teeth" with two sets of latches attached to both sides of each metal "tooth".
The two floor panels came together with a mighty slam and each latch locked into place. No sign of the magma below could be found and the flaming jets had stopped as well. The leading ninja took a very cautious step onto the new floor before slowly walking towards the center structure. The door behind them slowly slammed shut and locked itself. As the team slowly approached the steel plated prison cell, the speakers stopped producing their constant high-pitched whine. The team leader turned his head and gave a signal to his teammates; who all prepared themselves for a dangerious confrontation. They would learn much too late the futallity of their preperations.
Another loud saxon alarm rang out and the female voice spoke up once again. "WARNING! PRISONER DESIGNATED: CARNAGE WILL BE RELEASED IN EXACTLY FIFTEEN SECONDS. PLEASE HAVE ALL SONIC WEAPONRY PREPARED! LAB DEFENSE SYSTEMS HAVE BEEN SET TO COMPLETE OBLITERATION OF ANY SYMBIOTIC MATERIAL! PLEASE HAVE IDENTIFICATION PREPARED! HAVE A NICE DAY!"
The voice repeated itself two more times before quieting down, but the alarm continued as jets of steam came shooting out of the sides and corners of the steel prison cell. The front of the structure slowly cracked open with a loud groan of protest. The lack of the gates use was evident not only from the loud metallic groaning, but from how long it took for the doors to part. At least a whole minute for them to move just barely an inch.
After a good length of time, the doors opened completely; revealing a room completely hidden in pitch black shadow. This only caused the ninja to raise their guard even more. Suddenly, two symbiotic eyes popped into existance from withen the darkness. Unlike the pure white eyes of almost all other symbiotes, the rims of this pair of large ocular tools were a mix of orange and yellow which faded when getting closer to the actual white parts of the eyes. Underneath the bright eyes a large, evil, insane smile made up of countless orange sharp, jagged, and different sized fangs slowly split into existance.
"Fire!" The ROOT team leader shouted before sending a volley of kunai with explosive tags attached directly for the insane smile. The rest of the ROOT ninja tossed whatever weapons they possessed at the wicked face before unleashing whatever jutsu they could think of. After they had drained themselves of whatever weaponry they had and used up a large portion of their chakra, the team stopped their barrage of attacks.
"Is it de-ack!" The rookie of the team tried to ask, but a red and black spear piercing his gut put a sudden halt to his questioning. With a surprised gurgle, the man looked down and grasped the weapon imbedded inside him in a desperate attempt to yank it out; but to no avail. He heard a soft chuckling sound just in front of him and looked up into the face of a true monster.
Carnage's skin was mix of blood red and black streaks, spots and swirls placed randomly all over his form. His skin appeared to constantly be moving, like as if it was an amorphious liquid-like gel. He stood at just under six feet with actual human-like feet and legs. Only the black talons on each of his toes and the obvious 'moving' flesh proving otherwise. The same claws were also on his one hand; the other hand had transformed into the spear currently puctering the ROOT ninja's gut.
The soft chuckling slowly increased in volume as Carnage raised his other hand high into the air and shifted said hand into another spear. He held the new weapon high into the air before driving it into the ninja's stomach, right beside his other spear. Carnage's chuckling became louder and more intense; sounding almost like as if he was trying to hold back his laughter.
The symbiote slowly raised the gurgling ninja high above his head before violently yanking out one of his spears and plunging it back into his prey's gut. He continued to repeatedly stab the man over and over while holding him up with the other weapon; his insane chuckling increasing in volume every second. He stabbed the man over and over untill the life slowly drained out of his body.
Carnage tossed the body to the ground before finally exploding into a violent fit of maniacal laughter. He stepped over the corpse so that it was in between his feet and started to stab the lifeless body repeatedly, all the while laughing louder and louder in mad joy.
The sudden violent act of insanity temporarily stunned the remaining ROOT ninja. The leader quickly snapped out of his daze and quicly gave the signal to capture the clearly mentaly unstable monster. Each of the reamining ROOT ninja tossed a pair of metal orbs high into the air; just above the still stab-happy Carnage. The orbs suddenly exploded in small clouds of black smoke while over a dozen metal nets with small weights attached fell towards the red and black symbiote.
Before the metal traps reached their target, however; Carnage swivled on his feet and transformed his left-handed spear into a Roman style battle-ax and effortlessly sheared the metal nets into ribbons. All the while still laughing hard. He gazed up at the metal ceiling of the room, where the nets had just been a moment ago while slowing down his laughter. His head suddenly snapped to the direction of the rest of the ROOT ninja and he held up his ax-hand and grinned wider than what should have been physically possible.
He leapt high into the air with his ax-hand poissed to strike down on a human skull. He let out a small burst of laughter before coming down, hard. His target(s) were quick to dodge the strike and the result had his weapon embed itself into the metal floor. Before Carnage's prey could prepare a counterattack, however, the symbiote had shifted his other hand into an ax and gave a mighty swing while stretching his arm in a wide circle, cleaving in half two unfortunate ROOT members who were unable to move quickly enough.
Carnage started laughing harder and shouted loudly in a inhuman and insane voice, "What color do you bleed?" Before slamming his reformed hands onto the floor and spreading a giant mass of red and black tentacles across the floor. Shredding anything that was unfortunante enough to get near them. The few ninja that tried to use the walls to escape their deaths were too late to realize how futile such an attempt was as the deadly wave crawled up the walls. These enemies are also disposed of in a similar manner, just not on the ground.
After every living thing inside the massive room was nothing more than torn cloth and bloody bits. Carnage stood back up and calmly waltzed over to a random pile of remains. The remains belonged to the ninja that had the camera. He was still smiling big and chuckling lightly as he bent over and shoved his hands into the gorey mess. He moved his hands around to make sure an adequite amount of blood and gore was coating his hands before walking over to the closest wall
The deranged monster slapped his hands against the wall and slowly began to paint the wall with his blood soaked claws. He would go to the closest mass of gore and replenish the blood on his claws before returning to the wall and continuing his painting. He started crawling on the wall when his "art work" became too tall for him to reach comfortably.
Eventually, Carnage finished his gorey painting after using up at least two whole corpse-fulls of meat and blood. He leapt off the wall and took a few steps back to gaze at his wonderful piece of art. It simply read "CARNAGE RULEZ!" The symbiote proptly burst into a massive fit of insane cackling.
His joy was suddenly cut short, however when the room was bathed once agin in a dark red light while the saxon alarm picked back up. "RE-ENACTING ALL DEFENSE MEASURES IN HOLDING CELL FOR PRISONER DESIGNATED: CARNAGE! PLEASE LEAVE THE ROOM AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE BEFORE ALL SECURITY MEASURES ACTIVATE IN 3...2...1! HAVE A NICE DAY!"
Carnage's pleased facial expression quickly shifted to one of complete anger. He dashed for the only exit as small whisps of smoke started to puff out of the countless number of fire spouts lining the walls. He was almost at the door when every single fire spout unleashed a massive jet of white hot fire. Carnage leapt backwards far enough away to avoid any of the deadly flames, but could still feel the intense heat. He was already panting hard and was beginning to growl in frustration.
The symbiote quickly scanned the surrounding area for any possible alternate routes and only found one. The ceiling. He pressed his feet firmly on the metal floor and bent his legs and gathered energy needed to jump straight up and hopefully through the metal ceiling.
Carnage launched his lithe frame straight up towards the ceiling. He did not get even halfway to his target when the speakers started up with a high pitched whine at such a level of volume and intensity that the several of the fire spouts burst. The red and black symbiote let out a loud, agonized scream as he brought his hands up to the sides of his head; where his ears would have been. The sudden painful noise and movement caused Carnage to fall short of his target and plummet back to the metal floor.
His body slammed into the steel floor with a loud thud. But the pain of the impact was almost non-existant compared to the pain Carnage was feeling due to the sonic waves pounding him. He started to roll across the ground, screaming loudly as small tendrils of his flesh would sprout out, twitch in pain before receading back into his body.
The insane symbiote's body arched in a beyond painful manner with only the tips of his toe-claws and the top of his head touching the ground. Bits of his flesh dripped off his body as the sound waves completely disrupted his bodies molecular make up. The extreme heat coming off of the fire spouts was not helping much either.
Seeing as how the only exit was protected by a wall of white hot flames; Carnage tried to make for his small holding cell. He knew that what his fellow symbiotes were using could only cause him increadible pain and agony; not kill him. He was Carnage after all. Nothing could kill him! The fools had already tried everything known to both man and symbiote kind to kill him. Hell, they couldn't even separate the symbiote from it's host!
Carnage slowly crawled back to his cell, dragging his slowly "melting" legs behind him. All the while leaving a thick trail of symbiotic goo behind. His bottom jaw had slipped off his face when he finally arrived at his holding cell and got into it's relative safety.
He turned his head as the cell slowly closed and saw a muscular symbiote with a light gray skin tone. His slowly reforming eyes widened upon seeing said symbiote and he released a massive scream of pure anger and hatred. "BLIGHT!" His slowly reforming hands splattered onto the slowly closing walls as he let loose another enraged roar before he was incased in his prison once again.
The video cut off when Carnage was sealed away once again. Danzo knew what the meaning behind the sending of this video was. To scare him away from attempting to obtain the Carnage symbiote. Unfortunatly; it had the exact opposite effect on the man then was intended.
The aged man's face was split in a powerful grin that rivaled the insanity shown on the face of the Carnage symbiote. The smile even frightned his ROOT subordinates. Seeing the power and strength of the symbiote race was causing Danzo to be almost as giddy as a horny school girl. 'I MUST have one!' He thought.
His face suddenly took on a devious glare. 'If I can't have Carnage. Then I'll just have to settle for his father.' He chuckled darkly as he started formulating his evil plan.
Naruto had a giant grin plastered on his slightly tanned face as he dove into his third bowl of ramen. After reading the short letter from Lady Empress, the blond shinobi went straight to Ichiraku with Baby following him. Nightmare went home to visit her mother and tell of her exploits on her latest mission. How, Naruto was unsure of.
Baby was currently resting on top of her daddy's head as he absorbed his next bowl of noodles. Old man Teuchi was out of town at the moment on some kind of supply search or something, according to his young daughter, who was making the ramen for her favorite customer as he completely over-exaggerated the story of his mission in wave. Or, it sounded that way at least. With what Naruto truly was, one would have to know exactly what Naruto was to determine if he was really telling a false story or a true adventure.
Well, whatever you decide, Ayame just knew that the blonde ninja's stories were always fun to listen too if not always a little different with every retelling. As she made the next batch of beef ramen for Naruto, the little creature sitting atop his spikey head suddenly gave a very happy squeal and zoomed off her father's skull. Both the ramen waitress and the young ninja turned to see who, or what, had excited the fission metroid.
It was none other than the shy heiress to the Hyuuga clan. Hyuuga Hinata. Said girl just so happened to be passing by from her teams latest D-rank mission and was doing what she had been doing for the past few days. Hinata was aware that Naruto had been out on a mission outside the village when she caught a glimps of him and his team leaving.
At first, Hinata was fully confident that whatever the mission was, Naruto's team would be able to complete it no problem. Or, at least her Naruto would. But after one week with no sign of his return; The lovely lady started dinning at Ichiraku's to both, get a good cheap meal, and to descretely get any information on if he had returned home or not. Since it was well known around the village how much Naruto trusted the father-daughter team of the restaurant. Hell, he gave both of them a copy of his room key should they ever need him for anything, or a place to stay, or whatever.
Baby smacked directly into Hinata's chest. Luckily for the girl, her natural cushioning easily softened the blow. She could not help but giggle at Baby's adorable display of affection as she snuggled into the Hyuuga's hidden breasts.
Hinata looked up to see Naruto smiling his usual big smile and returned her own, much smaller smile while blushing a tad. The blue-nette walked over to the ramen stand, with Baby still clinging to her chest, and sat down next to her crush.
When Hinata took her seat next to the Uzumaki and turned her head to speak to him. She was only able to part her lips slightly before a massive blush developed and her eyes slowly grew in size. 'Holy Hell in a handbasket!' Hinata thought violently. 'Naruto-kun looks soooo hot. Oh my, I think I might need to change my panties when I get home.'
The young Hyuuga was unable to actually see any real physical difference in Naruto from now and just a few weeks ago. But something must have had happened to him on that mission. He had this stance, aura, whatever you want to discribe it; it just made Hinata's heart flutter. And when Naruto turned to her and gave her one of his real, caring smile; Hinata had to clench her hands tightly, almost to the point of bleeding just to attempt to hold back her fangirl-ish faint. She would not faint like that, she was too far above a horny fangirl.
"So, Hinata-chan? How have you been? Have you and your team been on any really awesome missions yet?" Naruto asked enthusiastically. While his enthusiasum was well known, what surprised the only other two people in the ramen stand was his interest in what Hinata had been up to; not bragging about his adventures like he was prone to normally do.
Hinata's cheeks turned bright red when this 'hotter' Naruto gave her all of his attention. She gave an almost audible gulp and stuttered out a conversation involving the going ons with her, her team, and her family. Naruto gave her his rapt attention and contributed his own part into the conversation. Baby eventually got bored of clinging to Hinata's chest and went back to her favorite spot atop her father's head.
Hinata giggled a little at the cute image before her. With Baby sitting on Naruto's head, his normally spikey hair was pressed down and he looked like the space parasite was trying to tickle his scalp with the way her litle pincers were constantly futsing with his blond locks. Hinata's light blue eyes focused more on how soft Naruto's hair looked as a pincer would run effortlessly through it. 'I am sooo jealous of that thing right now,' Hinata thought as she imagined her own hands running through Naruto's soft locks while he gently nipped at her neck.
"Hinata-chan, are you ok?" Naruto asked as his friend suddenly turned bright red and a small trickle of blood leaked from her cute nose. Hinata quickly wipped her nosebleed away with a napkin and stuttered out a completely incoheriant excuse.
Naruto just gave her another of his heart warming smiles and just decide to pretend he understood what Hinata had said. Hinata finally ordered something and the only three/four individuals inside the little ramen stand continued to give light conversation and just enjoy each other's company.
After a few hours had passed by, it was getting late and Ayame had to close up shop. Thus forcing the two ninja to leave.
"G-good night, N-Naruto-kun." Hinata said to her friend just before turning to head home.
"Hold up, Hinata-chan," Naruto called out after the Hyuuga's back. Hinata turned to look at her crush, wondering what he could possibly want. "Want me to walk home with you?" He asked. "It'd be just like when we were kids!" He ended enthusiasticaly.
Hinata blushed and giggled quietly before nodding her head and starting back towards her home with Naruto walking beside her. The walk was nice and quiet as the two young teenagers enjoyed each other's company. Naruto walked Hinata to the entrance to the Hyuuga estate and wished her a good night before leaving and heading home.
Naruto's slow walk home was relatively pieceful, until he heard a loud shout of laughter followed by a mass of giggling coming from the other side of a tall fence. It took the idiot a few seconds to remember that to get from his house to the Hyuuga estate, one must pass by the Momo Onsen (The Peach Hotspring).
Now, normaly Naruto would act like a good little boy and just ignore the sounds of several women having a good time. Unfortunatly for him, Venom was very far from being anywhere near a good influence and caused a tentacle to shoot out of Naruto's wrist and latch onto the wooden fence.
'Woah, woah, there our young host,' Venom addressed Naruto. 'Just where do you think your going?'
'Home?' Naruto responded; wondering what Venom was planning.
'And let a pool of too-hot water filled with breasts and ass go unappreciated!' Venom practically shouted at his host. To do such an act was almost cruel; to Naruto, Venom, and the women in the bath house.
Several more tentacles streatched out of Naruto's sleeve and latched onto the fencing before hoisting the boy ontop of the roof of the changing rooms. From there, Naruto was forced to crouch down behind one of the corners of the traditional style roof to keep from being scene.
With as much stealth as inhumanly possible; Naruto slowly peaked over the corner he was hiding behind and his bright blue eyes widened to the size of dinner plates. Before him was a rare sight that had not even been seen by any other man than his self.
It was bath night for the entire female population of the Inuzuka clan. It was a rare event that only occured twice ever other month, where every available female member of the Inuzuka clan comes to the Momo Onsen and just relax in the scented waters. The whole hotspring would be closed for the whole day so that all of the bariers could be taken down, the water given special scented oils, and all the male staff chased out.
The last man who tried to spy on the whole dog clan was never heard from again. Untill he was seen in the middle of town, naked with a dog coller around his neck, a leash, and a false dog tail shoved up a forbidden place.
Venom was very confident that such a thing would not happen to him and his host. Every single pool of spring water was filled with luscious Inuzuka women. It was basically any male's wet dream come true. Only two of the women stood out more so than the others.
The spikey haired and rough looking Inuzuka Tsume and her stern and profesional daughter Inuzuka Hana. The two were sitting at the very back of the whole hotspring and were almost completely surrounded by at least ten other clan mates. But, for Naruto, every single inch of the two womens' delicious bodies could be seen.
Every single inch of tan, tantalizing skin was throughly studied by Naruto's young eyes as he drank in their forms. Their impressive bosoms, Tsume's only just slightly larger than her daughter's, each pair peaked at an unfortunatly hidden nipple. 'Damn towels. MOVE!' Naruto shouted in his head while he stared. His concern about being a pervert or not was completely thrown out of his mind.
Inside their conjoined mind, Venom slowly licked his chops. 'Can we-?"
'NO!' Naruto inturrupted Venom's request. This was followed by Venom groaning loudly in pure frustration.
'Come on! Eight hundred years of built up sexual frustration and you won't help us fix that!' Venom complained. 'You know we could just shift into a female form and rape you inside your mind.' He threatened.
'Um, okay. One: Ew. Two: No. Three: Tsume is standing!' Naruto's nose started to leak a little bit of blood as the Inuzuka matriarch stood up to streatch her legs. Unfortunatly her sharp eyes caught the slight movement of one of Naruto's tentacle. Her gruff facial features turned into an infuriated frown as she released a light growl of anger. The other Inuzuka heard the growl and looked at the direction of their leader and scowled at what was assumed to be hidding from them.
Before Naruto had a chance to panic and attempt a futil escape; Venom curled his tendrils around the young boy's mind and decided to influence him into doing something rather bold.
Naruto jumped out from behind his hiding place and used the surrounding darkness to allow himself to only be seen as a shadowy figure before applying his camoflouge ability. A few screams from the younger generation coupled with a few enraged shouts were all that was heard besides the clan's collective growling.
Moving at a very slow pace so that his camoflouge would still function; Naruto made his way down to the ground. With his ability to adhere to almost any surface, Naruto had no problem getting to the coblestone flooring at his snail-like pace. He could not help but smile at his plan, no man with any sense of self-preservation would even think of attempting.
Several of the Inuzuka women, wrapped in towels of course, leapt onto the rooftop to try and find the intruder with absolutly no luck what so ever. All the while, Naruto continues his slow approach to Tsume. Crawling on all fours in a lizard-like fashion to assist in making as little noise and praying silently that the strong smelling water was hiding his scent.
He was almost at his target when one of the women searching for him jumped down directly between him and Tsume to give her "report". Tsume gave a loud, aggrivated sigh before slowly sliding back down into the water and allowing the warm water to soak away her frustration. The other women slowly did the same and the light wave of conversation washed over the the whole hotspring area.
Naruto was able to inch closer to the Hana's very, very attractive mother.
'Hana's mom has got it going on!' Venom sang happily as his host slowly approached their target.
Naruto was almost right beside Tsume, when the matriarch whispered. "I'd leave right this moment if I were you."
Taking her commanding tone as a form of challenge; Naruto was quick to completely ignore what the woman had said and instead decided to remain completely motionless. He hoped that Tsume would assume that he had left if he showed no sign of being there.
Naruto had to wait for a good fifteen minutes before he saw Inuzuka Tsume relax her shoulders and sink a little further into the water. Now he just hoped his cramped joints would not pop when he makes his move.
He slowly reached out with his right hand, using his feet and left arm to balance his self, and slolwy inched closer and closer to his intended target. He froze when Hana shifted into a more comfortable position and accidently nudged Naruto's arm and almost caused him to fall onto her terrifiying mother.
"Oops. Sorry mother." Hana apologies.
"For what?" Tsume replyed.
"I just bumped your arm, mother."
Instead of denying Hana's claim, Tsume suddenly threw her right arm out into a straight jab, directly behind her. Hana was shocked at her mother's sudden violent act, but was even more surprised wen her fist came to a sudden halt mid-thrust and she was slowly lifted out of the water by her fist.
The women in the hotspring watch in mixed shock and fear as the air in front of Tsume rippled and slowly faded into the large, muscular form of the black and white monster, Venom. He pulled the hanging Tsume closer to his face and smiled a big, toothy smile. "Remember us?" He chuckled.
The Inuzuka matriarch's eyes widened as she remembered the beast that almost shattered her leg. She pulled back her other fist and let it fly; only for it to be caught by one of Venom's black tentacles. She gave a growl od anger while Venom only chuckled lowly.
"Now, now. Is that anyway to treat someone that wishes to apologize?" He chastised with a hearty chuckle.
"What the Hell are you talking about, freak!" Tsume snarled.
"Well, about our actions upon our last meeting. We wish to apologize for the harm we caused you. We were not in the right state of mind at the time and regret harming such a delectable woman such as you." Venom sloely set the woman down on her feet before stepping back a little and giving a long, elegant bow. "We, Lord Venom, wish to formally apologize to Lady Inuzuka Tsume for out past transgressions towards her."
Venom could see the other Inuzuka women slowly approaching with murderious intent in their eyes. So, before Tsume could ask a burning question of what the hell Venom was; said monster lept up onto the surrounding fence and gave another bow. Before standing straight once again.
"We shall take our leave," He chuckled. "It's been a blast. Inuzuka and we think our young host will enjoy this glorious view. Hahahaha."
The women inside the hotspring all suddenly looked down and noticed that all of their towles were missing. Screams and excited shouting was heard coming from the hotspring along with Venom's laughter.
In he hands, Venom held every one of their white towels with an open mouth smile. He tossed the bundles high into the air before leaping away; his loud boastrious laughter echoing through out the lare village.
