The Black Leaves
Chapter 31
The crowd was silent as everyone waited to see who would turn out to be the victor of the Uzumaki vs. Hyuuga fight. For at least three full minutes, no movement could be seen from the male genin. Suddenly, Neji's arm popped out from under Naruto's body and started to violently pound into the ground and beat against Naruto's body. He pulled in both arms and was able to violently shove Naruto's upper body off him.
The sonic dagger was nowhere to be seen but Naruto's dagger-like tongue stabbing into Neji's right eye was clearly visible to all. Both were struggling against each other.
"We've already missed one meal. We will not miss another!" And with that, Naruto extended his tongue and plunged it deep into Neji's skull before twirling it around and effectively tearing apart the Hyuuga's brain. Naruto's tongue quickly hollowed out before draining Neji's skull of all brain bits and cerebral fluids.
Naruto wrenched his tongue out of the corpse's empty skull and shuttered at finally tasting living food after a month of synthetic feed. His body suddenly went ramrod straight for a few seconds as a small trickle of blood trailed down his forehead and over his face. His eyes slowly rolled up and into the back into his skull before his whole body fell straightforward and hit the ground with a thud.
Standing directly behind where Naruto was just standing was the towering figure of the Butcher; the blunt back of his cleaver's blade was positioned right where Naruto's head was. Considering the amount of punishment that Naruto was able to take just prior shows that the weapon mostly used it's own weight to slice and chop.
The Butcher looked down at Naruto's body before looking at Nightmare then over to the procter. The procter looked back before giving a short, awkward cough and turning to the crowd.
"The winner of the free-for-all and completer of the chunin exam is, Nightmare!" He announced to the silent crowd. The Butcher turned to the crowd as well before raising his cleaver high into the air and slamming the blade hard into the ground and puffing out his bare and blood-stained chest in victory. The crowd remained silent for only a moment before erupting into a deafening roar of cheers and applause.
The Butcher made his way over to Nightmare and picked her up before exiting out of the arena. He passed two medics carrying a stretcher that was heading over to where Neji and Naruto's prone forms were. The stopped beside Neji and dropped the stretcher before kneeling over the Hyuuga's body and examining it.
The empty eye socket and dry braincase was all that they needed to see to verify that the young Hyuuga Neji was dead. A solemn look appeared on their faces as one of the medics reached over and closed Neji's only eye. They slowly lifted the Hyuuga's body onto the stretcher before slowly caring it out of the arena.
Hiashi watched the scene with a grim expression; his youngest daughter did the same as well as several other Hyuuga. He stiffly stood up and sent a deadly glare at Naruto's still laying body before silently leaving the stadium. Any positive thoughts he might have had for the boy was quickly dashed away as he looked near the back of the bleachers and saw Neji's mother's tear-stricken face and his wife trying to comfort the poor woman.
The only positive thing about this was that there was now evidence that Naruto needed to die! For one, he had killed a fellow ninja and a Konoha citizen; and two; he had 'stolen' a very valuable bloodline. There was no possible way that Naruto would be alive within the next three days.
Nobody came to pick up Naruto, so he was left lying there until a familiar high pitched squeal was heard. Baby slowly appeared over the edge of the arena and lazily floated down and over to her unconscious father. She gave a purr before suddenly landing on Naruto's head with an audible 'plop' and gripping her perch. With a happy squeak, Baby slowly started to float up into the air with her papa and slowly left the coliseum with his limp body.
Nobody noticed Payback and Ambush slink away silently. Empress took her leave, as did everyone else in the coliseum. Several Uchiha had gone to grab Sasuke while Fugaku fumed over the humiliation his clan just experienced.
Inside the walls of the coliseum, the two medics silently carried Neji's corpse towards the exit and were coming up to a turn to turn a corner when Revenge stepped out from around the corner. The two medics immediately stepped back and set Neji's body down.
"We have need for that corpse. Would you kindly had it over?"
She asked in a kind and calm voice. The two medics quickly dropped into fighting stances, which only caused Revenge to sigh. She slowly rolled her head back before shooting it forward and releasing a nasty green-ish yellow glob out of her fanged mouth. The mass splattered onto the face of one of the medics, who instantly started to scream as his face started to quickly dissolve.
His coworker turned to help only to feel a hand on his shoulder force him backs around. Another pulled the man's head back and forced his mouth open. He could see Revenge staring down at him and heard the tall-tell signs of violent stomach activity as her stomach started to surge and lurch. She tilted her head back once again before opening her mouth wide and holding it over medics forced open mouth.
The same green-ish yellow acid came splashing out of her mouth and directly into the medic's mouth, down his throat and into his lungs and stomach. After she felt she had spewed enough acid, Revenge released the man who was quick to push her away before grabbing at his throat and coughing loudly as his insides burned.
The man fell to his knees as he hacked loudly in an attempt to purge his body of the acid. The skin around his mouth had bubbled and was started to dissolve when he suddenly vomited violently. A mix of acid, blood, and bits of dissolved organs splattered on the floor. He looked up at Revenge's permanently wicked grin before falling face-first into the puddle of fluids.
Revenge looked down at the two bodies for a moment before calmly walking over to Neji's and lifting it over her shoulder and walking away from the grisly scene, some of her acid dripping from her jaws before gently wiping it away with her unoccupied hand.
La da da da...Two Days Later...At Naruto's Hive
Naruto slowly woke up and sat up in his bed, his head had healed completely. He slowly moved the sleeping Baby off his legs as he heard footsteps approaching his newly enlarged room. Since his whole apartment was now covered in his tentacles, his whole apartment had now become his bedroom. He had opted to change his cocoon into a bed just for convenience sake.
The tentacles that blocked his doorway parted to allow Empress and Nightmare entry. "Nice to see that you are awake, Lord Venom." She said with a creepy smile. Naruto returned the smile and waved with his left tentacle before stopping mid-wave and staring at the appendage that had replaced his missing arm.
'Ok, what the Hell Venom. Where is my arm?"
Naruto asked in a surprisingly calm voice.
Venom gave a loud grunt before responding. 'That Butcher hit your head hard enough to splatter your brain against your own skull. Do you have any clue how much energy it takes to reconstruct, repair, and reconnected damaged brain cells? Your lucky you're not blind and deaf. We just got started on your arm barely an hour ago. Be patient and it should be done this afternoon. The tentacle is just a base we need to get started on the actual limb. You should be ok with that since almost 87% of our body is now symbiotic material.'
Naruto blocked out most of what Venom said and instead turned his focus to the Payback that has slithered her way into his room, onto his bed and was currently playing with his tentacle arm. She currently had the appendage wrapped around her neck and was slowly pulling it down her chest, through the valley between her breasts and down her belly. Naruto forced his appendage to stop moving when Payback tried to get it to go lower than her belly button. The female symbiote pouted cutely when she realized she wasn't getting anywhere.
Empress ignored her follower's sad expression and continued speaking to Naruto. "Due to a combination of your defeat of the Uchiha and Hyuuga, along with some new information we have been able to gather. You will soon be sent out to gather information and to gather whatever items we request for you. And before you ask, everything you will be looking for will be to find a way to fix our daughter's condition unless we specify exactly what you must do." Empress suddenly clapped her hands before smiling.
"But before any of that. We thought it would be nice for us all to relax a little before sending you off on a bunch of life threatening missions that no normal human could possibly survive."
She extended her hair and wrapped it around a low hanging tentacle and used the tentacle to pull herself towards the ceiling; which pulled apart every wooden plank aside for the female symbiote to reach the roof. She quickly disappeared onto the roof.
Naruto quickly followed using his tentacle arm and softly landed on his roof. The second he looked up, his jaw literally smashed to the floor, thanks to Venom. Before him was Ino, Nightmare, Samus, Marta and several nurses were all wearing some form of swimwear and lounging around on beach chairs.
Ino was in a basic purple colored bikini and was lying on her stomach while reading a magazine. Nightmare simply sat there while her nurses; in their flesh colored bikinis leaned back and enjoyed the sun. Marta was laying on her back and was holding a sun reflector while a cold glass of tea rested on her armrest. Samus however was wearing nothing but string. The largest parts of her outfit were the two hears that barely covered her nipples and the larger heart covering her almost visible slit. In fact, there was no string at all; Samus was simply wearing three stickers. Her child, Baby slept quietly next to her.
Empress quickly shed her symbiotic form and stood in a modest one peice outfit before laying down in her own beach chair next to her daughter. Naruto was about to question what was going on but decided to keep his mouth shut and shifted his outfit into a pair of swimming trunks and sitting down in a chair between Ino and Samus.
Naruto noticed a squad of Anbu standing on the building directly next to his. Naruto tried to relax but kept an eye on them while wondering why none of the ladies seemed concerned.
Suddenly one of the ninja pushed off the building's roof directly for Naruto's; only for a thick black tentacle to shoot out from one of his windows and slam into the ninja's stomach with enough force to send him right back where he had come from. Naruto couldn't help but smirk at his home defense system and closed his eyes as the sun slowly warmed up his cold-blooded body.
An hour later, Naruto opened one eye to see that the crazy snake chick from the chunin exams had arrived and was standing right next to the Anbu and was eyeing the group. With out any kind of warning, Anko leapt from the roof and quickly stripped herself of her trenchcoat and skirt while in mid-air. Whatever she was expecting, a tentacle tipped with a massive blade was not one of them.
Anko was able to turn just enough to avoid the blade, but not the section of tentacle that had curled and smashed into her pretty young face, knocking her to the ground below. The tentacle did not stop traveling until it had embedded itself into the roof that the ANBU were standing on. It suddenly wrenched itself free, tearing out a large section of the building's roof and one wall; forcing the ANBU to move.
They all quickly gathered at another roof with Anko pouting and not even trying to cover her surprisingly pink panties. Seeing this, Samus sat up and with a wicked smirk puffed out her chest to show how much larger her breasts were compared to Anko's. This caused the snake user to get red in the face with rage end tightly grip her fishnet shirt.
In one smooth motion, Anko tore her shirt right off and allowed the sudden motion to jiggle her breasts around. Samus frowned before standing up and grabbing her two breast stickers with her index fingers and thumbs. With a quick flick of her wrists, the stickers were ripped away from Samus' flesh, causing her pink nipples to turn a light red color. Her breasts jiggled more than Anko's and a fire burned behind her eyes. A fire matched only by the half naked Anko.
Anko looked next to her to see the two ANBU out cold and that the only male around was Naruto; who was watching with one eye open. Samus noticed this and looked at Naruto too before quickly glancing back at Anko and then to Naruto again. Naruto quickly noticed he was the only male nearby and his only open eye slowly grew wider.
In the blink of an eye, Naruto had dashed away and was running across the streets of Konohagakure with half-naked Samus and Anko right behind him. Several ANBU saw the three and decided to give chase as well, for more than one obvious reason.
Samus slowly gained on Naruto and almost had him in her grasp when Naruto gave a sudden sharp left and slipped clean away and caused Samus to smash her face directly into a wall. Anko gave a wicked cackle when she passed, her trenchcoat in hand.
She reached her other hand into her coat and brought out several shuriken with steel wire tied to them. Anko threw the weapons with precise accuracy and watched as they sailed through the air and wrapped around the still moving Naruto. Anko quickly ripped one of her leg bracers off and placed it on her arm before wrapping the either end of the wire before digging her heels into the soft dirt road. She quickly realized how futile her plan was when Naruto effortlessly continued running and started dragging her behind him.
Anko fruitlessly continued to try and slow Naruto down until the boy took another sharp turn and the snake user was sent into a wall herself. The ANBU stopped at each scene of impact and were quick to reprimand the women for jumping around the village half-naked.
This gave Naruto all the time he needed to get as far away as he felt need be. Naruto leaned his back against a while and closed his eyes and panting lightly. He completely missed the pair of long-fingered arms slowly reach out from behind him. The arms ever so slowly wrapped themselves around Naruto and Ambush's net-like head laid itself against Naruto's shoulder. Her dark pink tongue snaked out and slowly moved over to Naruto's check on the opposite side before lightly caressing it.
"Why hello there, Lord Venom."
Ambush whispered.
Naruto sighed, "Look, whatever fangirl you are. We are not going to go out with you or sleep with you either. So you might as well give up now and go home." He did not even bother to look at the female symbiote when he heard her chuckle lightly at his response. Her hands slowly trailed down Naruto's chest and down the sides of his legs.
"You may not know this, but we are not like all those other
whores and sluts
you've had to deal with."
"How
so?" Naruto asked without any hint of real curiosity. After his cheek was completely covered in her saliva, Ambush moved her tongue to underneath Naruto's chin and started to slowly draw the appendage down and around his neck.
"We, for one: we know more about Naruto-kun then he probably thinks one could know."
Her arms trailed back up to Naruto's chest as she lifted her head off his shoulder. She slowly pulled him back against her massive fleshy mounds. Naruto's eyebrow arched at hearing that.
"Also,"
She whispered into his ear. "It is not Lord Venom we both love, but his host instead." She ended with a wet kiss on Naruto's cheek before sinking into the wall and vanishing from Naruto's senses.
Naruto quickly spun around to face the wall and pressed his nose right up to it to try and find the slightest sent of her. After sniffing around for a minute or so, Naruto pushed off the wall and turned to make his way back to his hive.
"...Cinnamon."
One the opposite side of the building, Ambush leaned her back against the wall with a massive grin on her face.
'How could you tell him that!?'
Hinata screamed at her symbiote.
'Calm down dear. We never told him who we are, but we did leave behind a little something with will struck a cord in that Payback woman.'
Ambush thought calmly. 'We will win Naruto's heart not with slut-ish behavior, but by showing our love and care for him...Of course, acting a little perverted is fun too.' She giggled as she spread her legs a little bit and looked down.
'Any woman can give a man a blowjob and titfuck at the same time. But only we can give our Naruto a blowjob and full-blown, hard raw
sex.' Ambush was about to make her way back to her host's home, when she suddenly received a mental calling from Empress and quickly rushed towards Naruto's home.
When she arrived, she saw that all the symbiotes' hosts were lounging about and soaking up all the sunlight they could while a small group of ninja glared on nearby buildings. Since bonding with a symbiote causes the host's body to turn cold-blooded so that energy can be used for feeding. A good sunning was a luxury all of the species enjoyed. They just had to be careful not to heat themselves too much. She sent a confused glance over to her leader who returned it with a warm smile.
"Come young Ambush, join us and relax. Tomorrow, Lord Venom will be heading out on an assignment. Who knows, maybe you might join him." She smirked. This caused a smile to form on Ambush's face and Naruto to roll his eyes.
The still topless Samus did not find this the least bit funny and narrowed her eyes at Ambush, who returned the look with a smug one before waltzing over and sitting down in the chair next to Naruto.
The group remained quiet for a short while before Samus smirked at an old idea. She quickly flipped onto her belly before a bottle of suntan lotion popped out of the roof and into her hand. "Oh Lord Venom~." She cooed, eyeing the boy while holding the top of the bottle in her fingers swinging it lightly.
Before she could voice her desire, Ambush spoke up. "Oh please." She sighed loudly. "Like as if Naruto-kun would fall for such a straight forward and rather simple form of seduction." She sat up from her laying position and gave a condescending look at Samus.
Samus glared back before smirking and slowly pouring a generous amount of the lotion and sitting up. She slowly trailed her hands up her firm stomach and grapped her breasts with enough force to make her fingers sink into the soft flesh.
Naruto's eyes slowly widened as he watched Samus work the lotion into her fleshy globes. Seeing this, Ambush pouted before stretching her arms out and gently wrapping them around Naruto's torso. She spread her legs and pulled Naruto into her so that his back was pressed up against her front. Naruto looked up at her and she looked down at him.
"You see, old hag, Naruto-kun does not need such rough and raunchy treatment."
She smiled down at Naruto before nuzzling the top of his head. "Naruto-kun needs a much more gentle and subtle touch."She spoke as she slowly trailed her claws up and down Naruto's respective arm and tentacle. Ambush tilted her head down and gently kissed Naruto's forehead.
This actually caused Naruto to blush, which caused Payback to grow angry and to growl in irritation. The now woken Baby gave a happy squeal and quickly zoomed over to Naruto and snuggled into his chest while cooing adorably.
Several thousands of miles away...
"Are you sure?" A man in a red robe asked Adrian Toomes. His face hidden by the large hood.
Toomes glared down at his damaged suit and gave a stern breath before announcing his confirmation of what had caused its destruction. The hooded man gave a grunt of understanding before turning around.
The darkness behind the man slowly parted to make way for a well-lit pathway lined with several floors of room separating from the path by blue shielding. Next to each shield was an apartment number, a name, and the symbol of the Order, the Halo of the Sun. The man started walking down the path and motioned for Toomes to follow. The crooked nosed man quickly fell in step behind the red-robbed man.
They walked quiet a distance before stopping at a wall that separated two slightly larger rooms. The man raised his hand and pressed it against the Halo of the Sun, which sank into the section of wall before parting directly in half. The man moved out of the way when the wall had stopped moving he grinned underneath his hood as he caught a glimpse of Toomes dumbstruck face.
"Take it." He said while motioning to what was held within the wall. "If what you told me is true then you will most definitely need it." The man stood there silently while Toomes walked over to the wall. The robed figure suddenly moved his head up when an idea struck him.
He quickly strolled over to one of the shielded rooms and smiled at what it contained before turning to the preparing Toomes. "I think this too will help you." He placed his hand on a panel next to the shield and said cover crackled before dissipating completely. The man smiled as several stomps echoed through the massive hall followed by a grunting snort.
The newly equipped Adrian Toomes walked over to where his leader was and widened his eyes at the mass that stood before him before smirking wickedly. His expression quickly changed to one of confusion before turning to the man.
"I know it is not my place to ask, but where did you get all this?" Toomes asked as he motioned towards his new equipment and to the being still inside the room. He got a chuckle as a response and a motion to follow as the leader started to walk along the massive hallway.
"We have been as war with these demons for countless years." He began. "Ever since the corrupted and stole our glorious god. They are many as are we, but the demons have much greater power than we do. So all we have ever been able to do is very small strikes and small and almost unimportant locations. After several short years of losing our holy followers, we discovered that fighting them head on was very unwise; the Order then opted to do things a little more...'covertly' you could say." He took a sharp left down a bend in the hallway.
"We started doing more stealth bases attacks. Instead of bombing a toy store, we stole all the merchandise. Everything in this room, even the walls, are things that we have liberated from the demons. Such heretic creatures should not be allowed to possess anything the Order does not have." He lectured. "Of course it would be foolish of us to just take what the demons possessed and not use it. As you just saw, we have been using their technology in an effort to destroy them and reclaim our god."
The two turned around another corner and the hooded man continued his speech. "We have also, over the years, gained powerful members and positions around the world. The Order owns at least eighty-nine percent of all of the worlds major business' and we have at least two dozen members in each country and city's political offices. Now then..." He stopped in front of a raised platform and a hologram of the Elemental Nations.
Toomes walked up beside him along with five other robbed figures that all surrounded the map, which slowly began to expand to show the rest of the world, "...we plan."
Toomes explained everything he knew to the group before going silent and allowing the members to silently talk amongst themselves. The original robbed man was the first to speak.
"We know that the host of our god is still burned; so it is safe to assume that every location that she will go to, along with her bodyguard, will involve her current state."
"And considering the village that the bodyguard resides in..." Another robbed figure said. "Then we can expect for the very first target for them would be to retrieve Tsunade Senju."
"That would be very problematic." A third spoke up. "We know she has the best medic skills of any ninja on Earth and that it should only take her at most only a year to completely remove our attempt at releasing our god."
"Not true." The first interjected. "The burns we inflicted with our holy flames can not be removed as simply as any other, as you should be aware."
"Then there is no problem?" The third asked.
"Wrong." The first snapped. "Very wrong. There are countless people, creatures, and artifacts that would easily corrupt our god if combined with Tsunade's healing power." Hundreds of tiny blips appeared all over the map to show exactly what the leader meant. The room fell silent as each member thought of possible strategic plans.
"Toomes." The leader finally spoke up. "You will prepare to leave as soon as we locate Tsunade. We want you to find her and try to convince her to join us against the demons. Try everything you can, but if she refuses, kill her." The leader turned his head towards Adrian so that his next sentence would hold the most impact. "You will be killed if you fail at either option."
Toomes' stern face showed that he understood completely but continued to remain standing until he was properly dismissed.
As they continued to talk and made agreements and plans, doors opened, shielding fell, and a multitude of shapes exited the rooms only to be told where to go on the planet and who they were to look for. The only thing they all were told that was of the utmost importance was:
"Kill Venom!"
Back with Naruto, inside his hive...
"So, we are to find this Tsunade chick?" Naruto asked, as he looked a photo of the woman. "She doesn't really look like anything special, got big tits though."
"Yes, to both." Annette said while giving a soft chuckle at the symbiotic fighter's words. "She may not look spectacular, but her medical skills are beyond that of anyone still alive and getting her on our side will help with the healing of our daughter." She reached into her large robe and pulled out a backpack filled to the brim with money. "Tsunade has racked up quiet the dept in her years of travel. In this bag contains enough to pay off all of her dept as well as a considerable sum if she chooses to join us. Also..." She reached into her robe again and pulled out a slip of paper. "This is how much she owes several of our smaller villages."
Naruto took the slip and his eyes literally popped out of his head. It was only after they had retracted and popped back into place did he speak again. "How can anybody rack up that much of a dept?!" Naruto nearly shouted. He looked down at the picture and saw the Senju's nickname underneath it. "We are going to take it her nickname relates to her gambling dept and not how talented she is with her mouth?"
"Yes." Annette said quickly. "Now please don't use that over-used joke ever again."
"Yes ma'am."
"Good, now, to discuss who will be accompanying you on this little quest." She struck a quick thinking pose. But before she could say anything, Samus flipped over the coach and Ambush dashed from the kitchen before both smashed into each other trying to wrap their arms around Naruto. Both fell to the floor and quickly untangled themselves from each other before standing straight up.
"We would like to humbly volunteer to go with Lord Venom on this mission Lady Empress." Samus said firmly. "We would like to contribute our power and knowledge in assisting Lord Venom in any way possible on this mission."
This caused Ambush to state her opinion on the matter. "Lady Empress, we would like to remind you of the old hag's obsession with Naruto-kun and how it could possibly create problems if Naruto is expected to face any opposing force on his mission. We feel that if we were to accompany Naruto-kun on his mission that we would be of greater assistance, our youth will make sure that we do not slow down or hinder his progress at all."
Again, before Annette could reply her subjects interrupted her. "Who are you calling 'old hag' brat?!" Samus shouted. "If anybody would hinder Lord Venom then it'd be you, when all you'd do is rush off into the woods every five seconds to masturbate!"
"At least we would not be annoying Naruto-kun with nagging and pick-up lines from an ancient cougar."
And so, the two continued to argue about who was the most worthy of going with Naruto. This caused their leader to start developing a headache and leave the hive to get some peace. Annette rarely ever got headaches or was ever short with her underlings, but something about those two arguing just drove her up the tentacle-covered wall. She leaned her back against the door and sighed heavily.
As she was gathering her thoughts, a messenger symbiote leapt down right in front of her. His long legs bent slightly while he fished out a message for the symbiotic leader. Annette quickly took the note and dismissed the messenger before reading the note and scowling. She re-read the note several times before turning in her heels and walking back into the building, where the arguing between Ambush and Samus was stilling going on.
"Silence!" Annette said sternly and the building was suddenly very, very quiet. "Both of you will be going with Lord Venom." She held up the note. "From what we have just read, it seems that they have found out who Naruto is and have a plan on where he will be going."
"Then that means they'll have sent at least a few formidable opponents to try and probably kill Tsunade." Samus stated the obvious.
"Well." Naruto stretched. "We'd better stop wasting time and get moving." Naruto said with a big smile. "We've been itching to really tear something apart."
It was at this time that Baby decided that she wanted some attention and flew over to Naruto and squeaked loudly. Naruto looked down at her then back at Annette. "After we play with Baby for a while." He chuckled sheepishly. Baby chirped loudly while Annette gave an amused smile and an approving nod.
Baby lifted her father into the air and zoomed out the door all the while squealing happily. Samus smiled and was about to follow when Annette stopped her. "We might be in need of an upgrade." She said darkly.
Samus' grin grew before she raised her right arm. Said arm quickly changed into a small cannon that took up all of her forearm and winked. "Not a problem milady." She then dashed out after her 'man' and child.
