The Black Leaves
Chapter 33
'Tonight is the night.' Sarutobi though solemnly as he gazed outside the large window behind his desk. Off in the distance, he could see a massive storm slowly approaching the massive village as the setting sun teased the shadows. Knowing what this meant, the Hokage slowly slumped down into his armchair.
Even though it was a large portion of traitors, he knew were to be slaughtered; they were still members of his village, a village that was his responsibility. He was going to need a very heavy drink before the day was over. Even though he had done all he could to, both, keep the future massacre secret from the rest of the village as well as keep all who were not involved in the conspiracy safe and as far away from it all as possible.
The old man was able to do all that with relative ease; having a large number of stores set their wares on sale as well as a small carnival in the far areas of the market district was a sure fire way of attracting a lot of the attention of the civilian side of the village's population. Due to the massive number of people currently located in that section of the shopping district, most of the in-village ninja were posted around the area to help prevent any form of chaos that might occur.
Sarutobi raised his head and saw that the storm was much closer now and the distinct flashing of thunder could be seen inside of the cloud. The aged Hokage prayed that the storm would hold off until the task was completed, the last thing he wanted was for a mass of civilians running home and into the gnashing jaws belonging to Venom.
The lights from the very active shopping district shown brightly as the last remaining flickers of the sun's light disappeared beneath the horizon. Sarutobi gazed over in the direction of the Uchiha district and saw a large black mass moving from rooftop to rooftop in that direction.
With Venom, we see the beast land rather softly on the large wall that separated the Uchiha clan from the rest of the village. He was far enough away to not draw attention from the guards. He looked out at the last remaining rays of natural light before reaching over to one of the major power-lines of the Uchiha compound with several tentacles.
Just as the sun finished setting and darkness covered the ground, Venom quickly jerked back the tentacles and snapped the power-line apart. Every single light in the Uchiha district flickered before going out completely. Only several buildings that had their own power generators had the lights still on. The symbiote looked up and grinned wickedly as thick storm clouds moved to block out the moon and stars, shrouding the black symbiote in shadow and allowing his natural skin color act as the perfect camouflage.
The only thought that was in the symbiote lord's head was the commands of his female leader. 'Kill. All. Uchiha.'
Venom leaped over to the section of the wall right above the posted guards and quickly shot out two tentacles from his hands that pierced the guards' skulls and ripped their brain in half.
By now, most of the district's population where wondering what had happened to the power and were leaving their homes to check on the condition of others as well as wondering if the coup had already started. It took all of Naruto's self control to NOT slaughter every human he laid his six symbiotic eyes on, he was, however, unable to control attacking anyone who had a halfway decent amount of chakra.
His first meal came from a man who was trying to start up a power generator. Venom landed on the ground directly behind the man before stabbing a large claw through his stomach and silently snapping the man's neck. Venom's hand quickly came up to the corpse's skull and ripped off a large chunk of the skull, leaving the delicious brain exposed and easily accessible for Venom's tongues to get at.
After swallowing the brain, Venom tossed the body aside and continued on his mission, killing any and all that crossed his path in a near silent manner. Blood and body parts all littered the ground with the only similarities being either an empty brain case or no head at all. After eating a good few dozen brains and drinking a good amount of spinal fluids, Venom arrived at his destination; the Uchiha leader's abode.
He licked his fangs and began to drool at the thought of killing the most dangerous human in the village. Dangerous to symbiotes and the villagers.
The lights were on in the large home and excited chatter could be heard coming from inside. Naruto tried to calm Venom down enough so that they could verify who was inside. Venom's large mass slowly moved over to the closest window and his neck extended away from his body so as to not be easily seen while peeking on with a few eyes.
Inside, Venom could see an irate Fugaku, sitting at a table along with several other Uchiha. "Where the Hell is everyone!?" He shouted loudly. The other people sitting around the leader all had angry and worried expressions etched on their faces.
Another Uchiha ninja appeared next to the table and stood stock still until he was given attention, he then whispered into one of the Uchiha sitting at the table before stiffly walking out of sight.
The man the newest ninja whispered to decided to speak. "It would appear we have received a very unwelcome visitor this evening."
"Who?" One of the other Uchiha sitting at the table asked in a worried tone. "A ninja of the Hokage's?!"
"I don't know. All I was told was that the roads are littered with our dead. What is odd is that they are all missing their brain."
Fugaku sat there silently in thought for a few moments, with a very displeases expression, before seeming to come up with an idea as to why there were suddenly a lot of dead Uchiha all over the place. He looked up and his eyes widened just as the wall directly across from him exploded in a mass of splintered wood and roaring symbiote.
Time seemed to slow down as Fugaku crawled out of his chair and bolted for the door while one of Venom's massive claws embedded itself into the spine and out the gut of one poor old fool, who did not even get to turn all the way around to see what had exploded. Venom's massive jaws closed down on the shoulder of another at the same time and tossed him aside.
Time began to return to normal speed as Venom roared and continued to charge after Fugaku, destroying the table, walls and whatever stood in-between him and the running Uchiha. Fugaku made it out the back of the building and was able to leap up onto a nearby rooftop before Venom burst out of the wall, the corpse of the stabbed Uchiha still stuck on the massive claw.
Fugaku did not bother to slow down or look back as he bolted across the rooftops, several other Uchiha came out of the shadows and joined their leader; wondering what their orders were. He told them simply and swiftly. "Distract that demon!"
His men quickly obeyed their leader only to be tossed aside by Venom's massive bulk. Fugaku was able to clear the Uchiha gate and started to head to where the most people could be found, all in an effort to hide from the demon. Pushing himself as hard as possible, Fugaku heard the crashing and roars of the demon slowly fade away until becoming completely nonaudiable as he landed in an alley way close to the village festivities.
During his mad dash, the Uchiha father failed to notice an ANBU agent dash towards the Hokage's tower; where the agent informed the old leader of the events that had occurred. Fearing for the safety of the citizens of his village, the Hokage quickly left the tower and arrived at the festival before putting on the air of enjoyment and serenity.
He calmly walked through the streets and greeted everyone he saw with a false expression of happiness, all the while making his way to where he was told Fugaku was walking. He stopped when he was greeted by a friendly voice that caused a depressing chill to run down his spine.
"Good evening Hokage-sama. Enjoying the festivities?" Uchiha Mikoto asked the aged village leader with a bright smile. Her two sons stood on either side of her. Sasuke looked as normal as usual as did his older brother. All three were completely unaware of the disaster that had just struck their home.
"Why yes, Mikoto-san. What about you? Are you and your boys enjoying yourselves?" He asked in a calm and happy tone of voice. Out of the corner of his eye, Sarutobi saw Venom's massive form silently land on a nearby building and his alien head swivel back and forth rapidly in search of his prey. The two locked eyes for a moment before the black symbiote shimmered away with its camouflage ability.
The Hokage continued to lightly chat with the female Uchiha and her sons as they slowly walked through the streets. After a short while of walking, Sasuke's teammate, Sakura, and her mother were encountered. So now almost all of Team Seven was around along with their families, making the Hokage's task that much harder.
He was about to excuse himself when a slightly sweaty and irritated Fugaku made his presence known. "Greeting, Hokage-sama." Fugaku said while trying to hold in his breath, his eyes were slightly darting all around in fear of finding white eyes staring back at him.
The Hokage was quick to notice almost nonexistent movement of the male Uchiha's eyes and feigned knowledge at the cause for such action. "Is something the matter, Fugaku-san?"
Fugaku's eyes focused on the Hokage and he put up a smile just as fake as the Hokage's. After a short while, the group had moved itself over to a bench and continued to talk about the goings on in the village and why the shops were all going on sale and the existence of the festival.
As they talked, Sarutobi's eyes moved to where he was looking slightly behind Fugaku. A small puff of dust had suddenly popped up without any wind as an excuse. Slowly, large animal-like handprints formed on the dirt behind Fugaku.
"Is something wrong Hokage-sama?" Mikoto asked from her sitting position next to said village leader. The woman noticed Sarutobi's eyes sudden movement and looked at where he was staring at, only to see the dirt shifting in the wind. Except there was no wind!
She reached out for her husband with wide eyes and a terrified expression just as Venom's massive jaws appeared out of nowhere directly behind Fugaku. Everyone turned as Venom's jaws made to close upon the flesh of the mere human before him.
Seeing his wife's expression at the very moment of their formation, Fugaku pulled out a kunai knife from within his robes and was able to swing his arm out and around while twisting on the heel of his foot. The knife embedded itself into the side of Venom's head and the force brought along with the stab caused the symbiote's head to move just far enough that his jaws missed the Uchiha, but the rest of him did not.
Venom's shoulder slammed into Fugaku, knocking the man off his feet before letting out an angry roar and ripping the kunai out of his head, only to have Itachi leap onto his back and thrust his sword straight through the black symbiote's neck. Despite his face not showing it, Itachi was surprised when the symbiote did not die from the weapon piercing both his trachea and esophagus and instead swatted the young Uchiha off with one of his extra limbs.
Itachi easily landed on his feet, but was now without his primary weapon since it was still stuck in Venom's neck. Said monster let out a gargled and bloody roar before attempting to smash one of his massively clawed hands down on the Uchiha heir. Itachi easily leapt back and out of the way as Venom's hand slammed down onto the ground.
Instead of going after Itachi, Venom turned back to face Fugaku, who just completed a series of handsigns. He inhaled deeply while leaning back before suddenly leaning forward and spouting a massive stream of fire from his mouth.
Seeing Fugaku broadcasting his attack, Venom quickly bent his knees just as the fire left Fugaku's and leapt high into the air before the dangerous flames could reach his vulnerable flesh. The attack blew harmlessly underneath him but caused a stand to catch fire as well as increase the already panic stricken crowd.
After finishing his burning attack, Fugaku had to roll out of the way before he could be crushed by Venom landed right where he had stood. Fugaku did not have time to stand up and had to continue rolling on the ground as Venom attempted to stomp the man flat. Every time Venom's stomping missed, it only fueled his ever-growing rage.
Thankfully for Fugaku, his eldest child once again leapt on Venom's back and grabbed his still embedded sword. Venom roared angrily and was able to grab Itachi and throw him off. Unfortunately, this caused Itachi's weapon to cut clean through half of Venom's neck. Seeing what his weapon had accomplished, right when his feet hit the ground, the talented ninja pushed away from the dirt road and launched himself at the black beast.
As Venom's body and head were pulled away from each other, Itachi aimed his weapon and sliced clean through the remaining strands of muscle, ligaments, and skin that held the symbiote's neck as one. Both of his tongues flailed about in the air as his eyes widened and head spun through the air before landing on the ground and remaining motionless.
Venom's headless body thrashed about for a few seconds and was even able to clip a landing Itachi pretty badly with one of its large claws. It too eventually slowed down before falling to the ground and becoming motionless.
Everyone stopped and stared at Venom's corpse, watching for any signs of life returning to the demon. When none could be seen, Fugaku allowed an arrogant smirk to grace his face before sauntering over to Venom's head and grabbing it off the ground. He then leapt up onto the roof of a nearby building and held Venom's head high into the air.
"Look!" He shouted. "Gaze upon what the Uchiha were able to do, that your precious Hokage could not!" More people started to gather in the massive crowd and looked at the dead head and corpse of the demon that had been plaguing their village. Slowly cheers and applause erupted amongst the villagers while whatever remaining Uchiha ninja leapt up to their leader and lined the rooftop while expressing an air of significance greater than any Hyuuga could have possibly created.
With his wife and children at his side, Fugaku made sure that not only did him holding his trophy show that he was a powerful leader, but he had compassion as well. Being a 'family-man' and all. Plus, having a few civilians Uchiha amongst the crowd whispering words of glory did not harm Fugaku's cause.
Amongst the crowd, Yamanaka Ino and Hyuuga Hinata stood with their respective family members and allowed very inhuman grins to appear on their otherwise pretty faces. There was just something entertaining about Venom playing with his prey. A sort of, animalistic pleasure in watching the mixed mind of human and beast play before killing.
People started feeling a little more brave than they should have and started to kick, stomp and walk all over Venom's motionless corpse; all the while shouting jeers at the demon and cheers for the Uchiha.
Suddenly, before anyone could direct their jeers towards the Hokage and his lack of being able to control and/or kill the demon, a platoon of ANBU landed on the ground and roofs surrounding the crowd and Uchiha.
The Hokage finally stood up and turned to direct Fugaku. "Uchiha Fugaku, current leader of the Uchiha clan. You have been found guilty of treason and attempts to usurp the position of the Hokage of this village and several of its council members." One ANBU announced loudly. This caused a wave of confusion to wash over the crowd with conflicted feelings wheeling up and slowly splitting the village between those that wanted the Hokage to stay in power and those that were for the Uchiha. Some people tried to calm everyone down with reminding everyone that the village demon was dead and how that there was one less mark off their villages 'wanted list'. If only they could take care of that other one that the Hokage foolishly protected.
The Hokage quickly became angry over the whole situation. If it had not been for Venom's brutish-ness and ferocity, this whole problem could have been avoided. He looked up at Itachi and saw the youth holding his bleeding side before closing his eyes and shaking his head.
Above the crowd, Fugaku smiled as harder than he could ever have remembered doing before. His initial plan may have not been able to even begin, but this alternative worked just as well. Fugaku felt as his he had already won over the entirety of the village and was already the Hokage.
"F-Father?" Sasuke slowly spoke up.
"Yes, Sasuke." Fugaku spoke confidently. "This is what our clan has been destined for ever since this village was first settled. The highest of esteem and power is the rightful place of the Uchiha clan. And with you, Itachi, and your mother by my side; this village will become the leading power of the world!"
"No, father, that's not what I need to tell you!" Sasuke almost shouted. "The demon's body is gone!"
Fugaku's head snapped to where Venom's corpse was once laying and only saw an empty space surrounded by confused and scared villagers. Before he could react, the roofing directly beneath him exploded and Venom's new jaws snapped close on Fugaku's left leg. The beast landed on the roof and proceeded to violently shake Fugaku around like a bloody rag doll, occasionally slamming the man onto the hard roof just to add a little more pain.
The violent shaking prevented Fugaku from doing anything to free himself and Venom's erratic movements stopped anyone that dared to come close to help. Several tried throwing varies weapons at the monster, only for it to either block them or knock the weapons away using it's claws or the corpse still stuck to it.
Finally, after a relatively long time of blood spraying and screaming, something gave away. Fugaku's leg ripped itself clean away from his body with a bloody rip and, due to Venom's constant thrashing, he was tossed to the ground, hard. The instant Fugaku was thrown clean away, every Uchiha with a hint of ninja training charged at Venom with nothing but pure murderous intent.
Mikoto had quickly followed her husband and helped up to his foot, acting as his crutch while some civilians tried to wrap up the wound while medical help was being alerted. Sasuke appeared next him a moment later with a massive bruise that covered the left side of his face, just getting grazed by a punch from Venom hurt.
Uchiha started sailing off the roof as Venom's enraged roaring rang out. A corpse flew off the roof and crashed into the nearby burning stand, causing burning chunks of wood to fly wildly into the air and into the crowd.
It did not take Venom long to throw off all the Uchiha and land in front of 3/4s of the Uchiha clan head's family. Once again, the symbiote lord made to close his jaws down on Fugaku's head, but this time, Mikoto grabbed a piece of burning wood and jammed it directly into one of Venom's large eyes; ironically, the same one her husband had stabbed at the beginning of this whole thing.
Unlike when Fugaku stabbed him, Venom let out and agonizing screech of pain when the burning wood made contact with his vulnerable flesh. His hand grabbed Mikoto and tried to pull her away, but the force she was using to pierce Venom's eye caused too much pain for him to focus. His normal mighty roar was now a horrific screeching scream of pain and agony.
Eventually, Venom was able to break away with half of his face appearing melted and distorted. His symbiotic body felt drained as he fell to his knees, the fire absorbing and burning away a large chunk of Venom's energy. His face dripped onto the ground has his gurgling panting could be heard loudly.
Seeing the mighty demon brought down to his knees, for real this time filled the injured Fugaku with confidence. Using his youngest son and wife as crutches he glared down at Venom. "Not so powerful now, are you freak!? Just a little bit of fire brings you down to your pathetic knees. Right where you belong." He reached over and snatched the burning chunk of wood away from his wife before holding it high into the air and loudly proclaiming. "I, Uchiha Fugaku, leader of the Uchiha clan and the future leader of Konohagakure shall deliver the final blow that will destroy this demon and remove one of the many blemishes that mare the perfection of this village!"
He raised his weapon a little higher before activating his sharingan. "Let all who live in this village realize the might and power of the great Uchiha clan!" He thrust flaming weapon down at Venom's head, only to come to a complete halt when he saw Itachi's half-melted face looking back at him.
That was all the time Venom needed. He quickly reached up and grabbed Fugaku's arm before reforming his original head and pulled the Uchiha down so that his fang-filled maw could clamp down on his shoulder. Fugaku let out a pain filled scream as Venom tore into his flesh and pushed him to the ground. He continued to yell as the symbiote ripped the man's arm clean off and swallowed it down.
Venom was sick and tired of the old fool and not even having his back suddenly filled with varies sharp object was enough to stop him from violently devouring Fugaku. His claws dug into the man's stomach and ripped away his entrails and tossed them aside as his jaws ripped a large chunk of him away. After a short while of listening to the grown man's cries of agony, along with the shouts and yelling of people trying to distract Venom; the beast grabbed Fugaku's head and quickly crushed it into a bloody paste before throwing the body onto the ground hard.
Venom reared back and let loose a loud, victorious roar before letting out a more threatening roar at the surrounding humans. He slowly looked around at everyone that surrounded him before locking eyes with the Hokage for a split second. Venom's still half-melted face contorted into a bloody grin before he leaped high into the air and his body shimmered out of visibility.
Itachi came out from around the corner of a building, holding both his bleeding side and his newly bleeding head. Fugaku's family and the villagers all surrounded his still warm corpse as rain started to pour heavily from the dark sky.
The Hokage was able to slip away unnoticed by the newly shocked an dumbstruck crowd before any questions could be raised, just as it started to rain. A headache was already beginning to form just from the knowledge that there was going to be a mountain of paperwork along with a mass of angry citizens waiting for him tomorrow.
The rain put out the fire the fight had caused as well as began to wash away the blood that soaked the grounds of the Uchiha clan. It was not a welcome sight for the Uchiha returning home.
Naruto had to deal with his own gruesome sight as well. He held what remaining, melted flesh there was still on his missing face half and pressed it firmly against his dripping skull. He also had a fan blowing on his head to help lower his overheated body.
'We have no clue how you humans are able to survive with such a high body temperature.'
Venom grumbled to his host. Naruto's response was a loud pain filled hiss as he applied an ice pack on his dripping skull. Slowly, the melted bits of flesh adhered to Naruto's exposed skull and began the healing process. Now all that he could do was wait until his face healed. His expression lacked any sign of enjoyment as the fan blew on his face.
He heard his apartment door open and a sultry Ambush slowly walked into his room with a sway of her hips. She gave the unammused blond a gentle wink before sitting down right next to him. She silently pulled out an ice pack from hammer space and gently pressed it on Naruto's still hot face. Naruto gave her a confused look and only received a smile in return.
"Don't worry Lord Venom, we will always be at your service darling."
She continued to hold the ice pack to Naruto's face with one hand while her other slowly rubbed up and down the young male's back.
After a few minutes, Naruto tried to look over at Ambush before making an attempt at conversation. "So," He began, "Um, who is your host?"
"We could tell you darling."
Ambush giggled. "But what fun is there in giving straight answers?"
Naruto gave a dissatisfied groan, "You're almost as bad as Payback." He mumbled.
A wicked smirk formed on the womanly symbiote's face. "Good thing we are not her then."
Naruto thought for a second before making an affirmative noise. "We guess so. We can't imagine how weird it would be with two Payback's acting perverted and weIRD!" He screeched the last word when Ambush cheekily pinched his rear. He quickly shot her a glare while she looked in the opposite direction.
The weeks that followed the near total annihilation of the Uchiha clan were filled with depression, sorrow, and fear. Almost no civilian was brave enough to go outside after the death of Uchiha Fugaku. The mass of ninja and civilian-made militia patrolling the village in search of the demon had become more prevalent around the village than the usual shoppers. Fortunately, like everything else, the somber air surrounding Konohagakure slowly dissipated and life went on.
The Uchiha's, on the other hand, were not so quick to return to normal life. With nearly all of the Uchiha ninja force dead, the remaining few ninja and civilians were forced to work much harder than they ever had needed to before. Not even the main household had time to mourn their late leader as both Mikoto and Itachi had to take every job available to be able to afford to maintain the clan grounds.
While the attack had an effect on everyone, Sasuke appeared to take witnessing his father being eaten alive must harder than anyone else. He was almost never seen by anyone except for a few times, and only then people could see him covered in cuts, bruises and burns. The only expression that was ever shown in his damaged face was one lacking any form of mirth and stricken with a somber yet furious glare.
The once vibrant, young Uchiha had become so very hard and distant from even his mother. Sasuke almost never spoke and when he did, one would be lucky to get even two words out of him. After training started back up, Sasuke trained mostly alone and would only get involved in any teamwork related exercises when it was absolutely necessary.
While not being detrimental to the team currently, Sasuke's aloft nature and unattached attitude could prove to be a lethal hazard in the future. Seeing the possibilities of failure, Kakashi saw it fit to take a more personal charge in Sasuke's training and gave him specialized training to help the youth obtain his goal. Which; as anyone could guess, was to kill the monster that ate his father.
Naruto did feel bad about what he had done to cause such misery to his teammate and his family, but was continuously reminded by Venom that what had happened was completely necessary. That still did not ease Naruto's guilt about eating the kids' dad directly in front if him. In an effort to make up for what he had done, at least to himself, Naruto tried to be more of a friend to Sasuke. He offered to eat with him, train with him and even offered to help around the clan grounds for free. Every attempt at acting friendly was met with either indifference or outright hostility and this only caused Naruto to become short tempered and frustrated with the Uchiha kid.
This hostility started to flare up more and more between the two until it came to the point where whenever one made any sort of screw up, the other would be quick to toss barbs and insults. These would be quickly followed by yelling and more insults until Kakashi saw it fit to break up the conflict before a physical fight ensued. The combination of Sasuke's attitude and the villagers constant patrol of the village caused Naruto and Venom to both be short tempered.
The increase of missions was a pleasure to his wallet, while being forced to buy his own chocolate to keep sane was hurting his wallet just as badly. The limited amount of the sanity sustaining he could get his hands on was nowhere near what he really needed, but hunting was out of the question with so many people searching for him.
And this nearly insane state is where we find Naruto, along with the rest of his team on their way to report in a successful mission of lost pet searching. The team had set up a trap to catch an all too familiar cat; unfortunately, when the trap was sprung something went haywire and nearly killed to feline instead of just capturing it. And, as was expected, the Uchiha began to blame the blonde for the trap's failure.
Naruto's anger was at its peak point of eruption. "Maybe if you Uchiha were worth they eyes you have, you would have figured out what was wrong before we finished the trap!" He shouted in outrage.
A sudden jerk on the back of Naruto's coat caused the youth to stumble back and suddenly face an angry Sasuke. "What did you just say?!"
An evil smirk grew across Naruto's face, making his one large tusk-like fang that much more pronounced. "The Uchiha are all useless. Your eyes serve no purpose. Your clan is," He chuckled. "Or should we say, was, controlled by a moron. In fact, we were happy when we heard about your father being eaten alive. Thought it would send the message how pathetic the Uchiha really were."
"Naruto!" Sakura nearly shrieked in shock at her teammates blunt and rude comment.
Sasuke took a swing at Naruto, only for it to miss and for Naruto to chuckle evilly. "Aww, is little Sasuke-kun upset? Did poor old daddy get a few too many bites?! Hahahahahah."
The entire team was taken aback by Naruto's sudden change in demeanor and voice.
"Naruto, are you ok?" Kakashi asked as he lowered his book. "Are you sure that thing inside you isn't doing anything?"
Naruto's unusual laughing was suddenly cut short by a loud growling coming from his stomach. Everyone just stood around and stared at the frozen mid-laugh Naruto. "Sorry." He mumbled. "We're hungry." Naruto then dashed away in a random direction.
The second he felt he was far enough away, Naruto slinked away into an alley and shifted into his symbiotic body. He pressed one hand against a wall and held his aching stomach with another. "We need foooood." He groaned loudly. The sweet scent of chocolate filled Venom's nostrils and forced him to begin roof hopping on a quest to find the delicious food. It did not take long for him to find one of the few pure candy shops in the village.
The symbiote looked back and forth, making sure nobody was looking and quickly activated his natural cloak. He slowly crawled down the wall and across the empty street until he was at the door of the still open store. He gazed inside and saw that there were only two people inside, the girl working the register and a civilian woman lazily glancing at the sweets that lined the isles.
Hungry, but not stupid, Venom decided on a way that would fill his aching stomach as well as not alert another mob of bloodthirsty villagers. Venom slowly made his way over to the shop's front door and slowly opened the door a crack, his tongue quickly shot out and wrapped around the bell above the door, keeping his entry silent.
He stopped moving and glanced over at the girl over the counter. She was too involved with her magazine to notice the front door of the shop slowly open. The black symbiote tried to open the door as little as possible while wriggling his way into the shop unnoticed. After a good amount of time, Venom finally was inside the candy shop and slowly closed the door with a near silent click.
Again, scanning over the store, Venom could see the bored register girl yawning while turning a page in her magazine. The other civilian woman was still browsing around and had partially filled a small bag with several different candies. Venom slowly went down to all fours and just as slowly crawled along the floor of the shop, reaching for his delicious goal.
When he finally reached one of the many isles containing the sanity delivering chocolate, Venom slowly reached forward with a shaking hand and slowly grabbed a fistful of different chocolate based candies. Venom quickly shoved the fistful of candy into his mouth and swallowed the whole mass, wrappers and all. Venom's nonexistent pupils rolled up into the back of his head as he felt the delicious chocolate roll down his throat and into his starving gut.
The taste was divine, superb, and refreshing. Without thinking, Venom reached forward with his two main hands and grabbed more fistfuls of chocolate. He shoved them down his throat noisily and reached for more. He was so enraptured with eating every gram of chocolate, that he completely forgot he was supposed to be acting stealthy and dropped is camouflage.
Obviously, the noisy eating and the sudden appearance of the large black mass brought the attention of the other two individuals inside the store. The eyes of the girl working the register grew wide and her mouth opened to scream, but a hand quickly covered her mouth and prevented her from doing so. The civilian woman had quickly snuck up behind the girl and it was her hand that was covering her mouth.
The woman covered her own mouth a finger, signaling the girl to be quiet before pointing at the door. The girl nodded before ducking down with the woman behind the counter. The two slowly crawled out from behind the desk and crawled their way to the shop's front door, the loud growls and noises of eating coming from Venom were loud enough to muffle the sounds of their shuffling bodies.
When they finally reached the door, the register girl grabbed the handle and slowly turned it and opened the door up to where it nearly touched the bell. The girl looked over to the older female with a worried look and received a resolute glare and nod. The girl grabbed the doorknob hard before violently pulling the door all the way open and attempting to dash out of the store with the older women right behind her.
Just as she cleared the doorway, something wrapped around her mouth and violently yanked both her and the woman back into the store while a little black tentacle closed the door after they were yanked in. The two females were brought to the spot behind Venom and were held in the air as the symbiote continued to eat noisily.
Venom turned his head a little to get a better look at the two members of the opposite sex before returning to shoving every little bit of chocolate available down his throat. For the next half-hour, Venom ate every single chocolate morsel within the shop while holding the two women in the air with their mouth's gagged by tentacles.
The younger of the two females had seen enough hentai to know where this would go and struggled as much as she could. This only lead to her being completely tied up by Venom tendrils. Seeing as the monster was only interested in the candy, the older of the two stopped her useless struggling after a while and just accepted the fact that she wasn't getting out of the situation.
After every trace of chocolate was gone, the two women were suddenly brought over to in front of Venom's face. Venom brought the younger girl closer and sniffed her loudly before snorting and bringing the older woman closer and doing the same to her. Venom gave a sudden snort and allowed one of his tongues to snake out from in between his parted jaws.
His chocolate dripping tongue climbed up the woman's body and slowly dragged across her chin before diving in-between her cleavage. The younger girl's eyes grew impossibly wide in shock. The slimy appendage continued to travel down before poking out of the bottom of the woman's shirt and digging into her left pant pocket. His tongue wriggled around inside the pocket for a few seconds before coming out, holding a single bar of chocolate.
He pulled his slimy tongue out of the woman's clothing and pulled it and the candy into his evil maw. Venom felt something warm on a tentacle and looked to see that the younger girl was crying. If he had pupils, Venom would have rolled them as a tendril went over to the handle of a 'Employees Only' door and opened it before tossing both women inside and closing the door.
Just as the door clicked closed, the shop's bell rang and Venom turned to see Jiraiya standing there with his arms crossed and a disappointed glare aimed at the massive creature.
