The Black Leaves

Chapter 38

Venom's nostrils flared as the drool poured from his fanged jaws. The sight before him was one that his rational mind found hard to resist while his alien instincts kicked into overdrive. The large monster's body rippled as he fought the urge to rush over and ravage the attractive female symbiote across from him.

"Who are you?" Sakura questioned. She had no initial hostility in her voice as the obviously female monster had not caused her any trouble or been a problem for her home village. She was still hesitant on believing anything the she-beast might say and was cautious in case the monster tried to attack her since she wasn't in a deal with the village like Venom was.

"You may call us Ambush darling. We are an associate of Lord Venom's, we guess you could say." The female symbiote said with a wide smile. "But is has been such a long time since we last saw our darling Lord Venom and we have changed so much; we just could not wait any longer to show our darling our new and improved features." She struck a somehow shy yet very provocative pose; showcasing her plush rear end and ample breasts.

Ambush turned her attention back to Venom; her host's personality bubbling out. "We hope we are to your liking. We know we are not as impressive as some of the others; b-but we hope that we look at least a little bit intimating on the battlefield." Her voice softened to a nearly inaudible whisper. "We also hope that he sees us as maybe more than just a friend."

Sakura stared hard at the new symbiote in front of her. If she was anything like Venom, then that meant that she too had a human counterpart and was able to roam around freely within the walls of the village without any chance of discovery. That raised several very very important question within Sakura's over-sized brain. Just how many of these demons were hiding inside the village? How did they find a hidden ninja village? How did they initially get within the highly guarded walls without being detected? For how long have they been hiding inside the village?

Sakura shook her head. Maybe she was just being paranoid and there were only the two close to her now that resided within her home village. The young ninja did take a mental note however to inform someone with more authority about everything she had witnessed today and what her thoughts were on the village demons.

"You are very, very much to our liking." Venom tried to say clearly through the throaty growls and streaming drool leaking from his powerful jaws. He pushed Sakura to the ground as his sensibility slowly departed from his mind. Maybe if Naruto's consciousness was awake, then the symbiotic beast would have more self control. But years of limited contact with the female member's of his race coupled with the amazing sight before him were finally taking their toll on his mind. That combined with the hormones radiating off the female symbiote were bringing up Venom's most basic instincts.

Venom violently shook his head to clear his thoughts. "You look astounding Ambush! What have you been feeding on to grow so much?" Ambush's face grew a shade darker at the complement.

"Nothing too far out of the ordinary. A few humans but mostly we have been going out into the more dangerous wilderness areas and have been feeding on the larger wildlife." Ambush was finding it very difficult to look Venom directly in his large white eyes due to Hinata's shy personality fighting her own. Ambush was getting slightly irritated at her host's desire countering her own personality.

So, Ambush decided to take over. Being a symbiote; her host's safety and happiness were second only to the creature's self-preservation and thus, Ambush put it upon herself to get the desired results that Hinata was just not able to obtain. The desired result being the attraction and eventual seduction of Venom's current host.

So, the female symbiote turned her back to Venom before bending over at the waist and sticking her lush butt out as much as possible. "We are worried that maybe we have been feeding too much, our butt feels too flabby." Ambush grabbed a handful of her butt to show the amount of tight meat before delivering a sharp slap to make the flesh jiggle.

'Calm your ass down!' Naruto's consciousness shouted while finally reawakening. Having just awoken from being completely splattered and feeling Venom almost loose all rationality just from a heavily sexualized female symbiote was not how Naruto would like to regain thought.

'Oh.' Was his response upon getting a better grasp at what was currently happening and decided it would be best to try and resist Venom's strong instincts. But Naruto had to admit that Ambush was one sexy alien parasite. Whoever her host was must be one Hell of an attractive woman. Both the human and symbiote were having a hard time trying to pry their eyes off Ambush's jiggly butt.

Venom let out a very loud huff before taking a sudden leap backwards then leaping away as fast as his powerful legs could move. He had to get out of there as fast as possible before the instincts of the symbiote could gain full control and cause Venom to molest anything within a mile-radius.

Sakura finally got back to her feet and watched as Ambush turned back around and gave a half-hearted frown. "Oh darn it." She sighed as she crossed her arms over her ample chest. "We told you this would happen if you didn't let us take control darling. We know how to get a boy's attention." The female symbiote noticed young Sakura staring at her and gave a small smile.

"Thank you for taking care of our Lord Venom for the day darling. We know he can be a bit of a hassle." Ambush said politely while giving a respectful bow. She walked over to the still on the ground girl and offered her hand. "Need some help there darling? We apologize for our darling Venom's actions. He tends to act without really thinking about what might happen to those around him."

Sakura looked at the demon's odd hand, wondering if she was really offering her help or was laying a very poorly hidden trap. She opted to not take the offered hand and got to her feet on her own. The pink-haired girl looked the female symbiote over before walking away without a single word.

Ambush placed her hands on her hips "Well, that was rude." She said quietly to herself before taking her own leave.

Back with Venom; the beast was sitting on the roof of a building a good distance away and was explaining everything to Naruto's consciousness.

'So how long until we have my body back?' An irritated Naruto asked his personal parasite.

'Well since your mind is back we would assume that your brain has at least finished regenerating. We can feel your bones poking into us and your heart beating along with ours. So maybe a few more hours until you are back to normal. That meal the village leader gave us was grand, so it shouldn't be too much longer until you can be reunited with your 'loving' family." Venom chuckled slightly, causing Naruto to sigh.

'Do we have to go back?' He whined only to have Venom chuckle more. 'Well, what are we going to do until then?'

Venom did not have to think long since her knew that his host would not allow him to have the fun that he wanted to have. So instead he when with an answer that Naruto would at least not get too upset over.

"Sleep." Venom leaned back until he was laying on the ground and promptly tried to do exactly as he had said. Surprisingly, not a single individual appeared and disturbed Venom as he napped for several hours. It was only when the last few remaining minutes of daylight did the monster finally awaken. He quickly retracted away, allowing his fully regenerated host to take over.

Naruto tried to get up right off the bat, but failed due to the new muscles and nerves not responding correctly. So, instead of sitting up, Naruto accidentally kicked his legs straight up and was now bent over backwards. It took a moment for his body to correct itself before he could actually stand. An odd airy chuckling sound was heard from behind.

Naruto turned to see the robed Nightmare sitting on the ground with two of her nurse creature creations standing in either side of her. Nightmare's hood was down, revealing her multy-eyed face. Her charred flesh was still present and it obvious that too much movement still caused the young girl extraordinary pain.

Naruto shot the girl a genuine smile. "Hi there Nightmare. How have you been? Sorry we left so suddenly. We hope you weren't bored being here all by yourself." He said as he walked over to the young symbiote. Another soft, airy laugh come out from between Nightmare's fused lips as well as some distorted, cracking chuckles from her two nurses.

Naruto raised a confused eyebrow before crouching down in front Nightmare. "Is the Prayer not helping you anymore?" Nightmare shook her head before slowly placing both of her hands on the ground. Naruto quickly stood up and took a step back as Nightmare put pressure on her hands and ever so slowly raised herself up.

Slowly, the young burn victim shifted her legs and bent her knees before placing them underneath her. Nightmare gently put weight on her charred feet and slowly raised her hands off the ground. It took her several minutes, but Nightmare finally rose up on her own two legs, standing at her full height of being very very short. Seriously, the girl was shorter than Naruto by at least an inch or two; and Naruto is about the shortest individual within his age group.

Nightmare's burnt lips curled up into a shy smile as Naruto's face glowed with how big he was smiling. "You stood up all on your own!" He shouted with the largest smile ever on his face. "That's amazing!"

Nightmare held both of her arms forward and her two nurses kept their hands close to their creator in case she were to take a fall. The young symbiote tried to take a single step forward, but the pain was too much and she started to fall forward. Naruto quickly reached froward and grabbed Nightmare before she could fall very far,; her nurses did the same and the end result was an awkward group hug the smashed Naruto's head in between two pairs of large nurse breasts.

Nightmare grabbed onto the front of Naruto's jacket and the nurses followed suit before rubbing their breasts over his face to the point where their dirty outfits popped open; letting their generous busts free. 'What is with all of the perverted woman around here?!' Naruto thought to himself as he struggled to breath.

After a few minutes of struggling, Naruto was able to free himself from the monsters' grasp and catch his breath. The now bare-chested nurses let out soft moans of displeasure as they pushed their breasts up and tried to entice the young ninja back into their welcoming arms.

"Why are your monsters so perverted?" Naruto asked the still being held up Nightmare. The young girl did not say a word and instead just avoided eye contact; confusing Naruto even further.

Naruto shrugged it off before walking back over to Nightmare and holding out his hand. "We can practice walking all night if we have to." He beamed. Nightmare's mouth chipped a bit as she smiled back and slowly grasped Naruto's.

As the two continued to practice; Ambush stood a short distance away with a soft smile adorning here fang-filled face.

'Thinking about your husband-to-be walking your future child darling?' Ambush teased her host. The mental image of Hinata and Naruto outside with a young toddler; teaching the baby to walk filled the female host's mind. Those thoughts led to thoughts of everyday living with Naruto and a baby. And those thoughts led to the act of making a baby.

Ambush's legs twitched as Hinata's mind started to think of more and more perverted things involving her and Naruto. 'Excited darling?'Ambush teased as she produced several tentacles from the sides of her torso. Two tentacles wrapped around her breasts and started tugging and tweaking the symbiote's nipples. Another tentacle moved behind her and slid down in between her shapely rear and to her slowly soaking front.

'S-Stop it Ambush.' Hinata moaned as she was assaulted by her own parasite. The symbiote continued to molest poor Hinata until the young girl was able to gather enough strength to yank away the tentacles. Without another word, Ambush leapt away and headed straight for the Hyuuga compound; liquid dripping from in between her legs the whole trip. Today had been too much on the young girl and she was going to relieve some of the built up tension no matter what.

It wasn't until the first morning rays of sunlight started to peak over the horizon did Nightmare and Naruto stop their walking practice. Nightmare allowed her nurses to return to her little horror realm before letting Naruto carry here back to his apartment and sitting her down on his tentacle covered couch.

"Sorry to leave you here, but we have to check in with the Hokage and our 'parent'. We will be back as soon as possible and continue practicing, alright?" Nightmare gave a nod and a smile as Naruto left.

With a heavy sigh, Naruto started to make his way to the Hokage's office, knowing how the interaction would end. He dragged his feet through the village as he walked, taking as long as possible to reach the Hokage's tower. When he finally reached the tower, Naruto let out another heavy sigh before pushing open the front door and walking up to the receptionist. The guy at the front desk took a quick glance at the spiky-haired ninja before telling him to go a head.

Naruto slowly climbed up the stairway and dragged his feet through the hallway until he reached the Hokage's office door. Naruto sighed heavily before slowly grabbing the doorknob and turning it as slowly as humanly possible. As the door opened, Naruto tried his hardest not to look inside to see who was in the room.

When he did finally take a glance inside, all he saw was Sarutobi sitting at his desk and doing paperwork. This time, when Naruto sighed it was one of relief. "We thought our father would be here." He said when the old man looked at him quizzically.

The Hokage went back to his paperwork before speaking. "I assume Venom told you everything? About the giant xenophage"

"Yeah, he isn't happy about it but he understand why you have to do it."

Sarutobi put down his pen and leaned back in his chair. "I have to keep up the image that the Hokage is in control while still allowing your kind to continue protecting this village. Even more so now that we have a xenophage with memories of a thousand year old parasite. Just how many still living enemies does your other-half have?"

Naruto struck a thinking pose before naming off a small number of known enemies that Venom currently had. "Well, there is our son; Carnage. The entire xenophage species. A man with a bad attitude and unbreakable bones. A giant cannibalistic symbiote. A giant angry green guy. An invisible lady with her burning brother and stretchy husband and a rocky guy." Naruto stopped for a second to listen to his symbiote. "Um, a guy in a rhino suite. A man that can create shock waves. The Sandman. An electric guy. And an ancient god...Just to name a few."

Sarutobi looked at the young ninja in front of him and nearly wanted to sock him across the face for keeping such information from him. Instead he took a deep breath and looked the boy straight in the eyes. "So, your telling me that we are going to have a veritable army of dangerous people and creatures tearing at the walls to get to you?"

"It's not like things will be any different from before. We just know now that a giant xenophage and any number of potentially dangerous being will eventually come to the village a hunt for our life. It was bound to happen eventually." Naruto responded calmly. "We just don't know when the xeno will return and with who."

Sarutobi rubbed his temples. "And what do you purpose we do about this situation you created?" He stressed.

"How should we know. The author hasn't given us any foresight into what's going to happen for the next few chapters. Why not talk with our leader and figure something out?"

"Fair enough." The old man sighed. "You had better go see your parents. They were worried sick. And your father isn't too happy about the situation with Venom either."

"We figured. Do we have to go? Can you give us another mission or something and just tell them we had to leave too quickly to drop by?" Naruto begged. Sarutobi just shook his head and pointed at the door. Naruto hung his head dejectedly before slowly shuffling out the office door.

Just he had arrived, Naruto slowly dragged his feet out out of the Hokage's tower and towards his family home. When he arrived he was met with his parents and sibling all overly pleased with his safe return. They quickly pushed Naruto into the living room. Naruto's sister tried to get information on the mission Naruto had been on, but their mother was able to quell her before she started to annoy Naruto any further.

"What did take you so long?" Minato inquired of his son. "I can't imagine the third Hokage would let a genin go on too dangerous a mission."

Naruto put on a false smile before answering his father. "You know I can't tell you that dad. You never know who might be listening."

Minato chuckled before putting on a serious expression. "Now that the whole family is here; there is something very important I want to talk about." Everyone looked at the man with confused expressions.

"I do not know what Hiruzen was thinking when he decided to make that deal with that demon; but I do not approve of it and plan on removing that thing from this village as soon as possible."

Kushina quickly filled in her son on what had happened involving Venom before Minato could continue.

"So, until I can convince the village otherwise; I want all of you to help me in the monster's removal. If you see it, follow it as best you can. Stay safe and don't try to engage it unless it unless you have to. And if it comes to that, try to get to find any other ninja around for assistance. I know that at least their loyalties still lie with this village."

The family agreed before going back to their every day activities. Naruto, not being one that sits around the house, tried to leave and go back to his apartment; but his mother and little sister where quick to grab him and pull him aside.

"I've noticed that you two have not had any time by yourselves. Naruto, you need to know more about your little sister." Kushina lectured. "So, for the rest of the day, you and her will stay with each other and get to know one another. Do this for the family."

Naruto sighed, but agreed to go along with it while his little sister just smiled. The two left the home and went to the shopping district of the village.

At first, Naruto was distant; acting uninterested and aloof. However, Venom was able to convince his host to act more friendly towards his young sister. When asked why, Venom only responded that it will pay off in the future. So, taking his symbiote's advise, Naruto started to act more friendly and loving to Naruko; completely unaware of the plan Venom had in mind.

"Do these look good?" Naruko asked her brother while looking at different weapon selections in a shop. He shook his head slightly.

"We are ninja right?"

Naruko nodded her head while looking at Naruto in confusion.

"We use specially made tools that are decide to incapacitate or kill targets or disable equipment. Every single tool must be crafted perfectly by the village smiths. In this village, a form has to be filled out requesting every weapon or piece of equipment that you would need for whatever ninja use you have in mind. Either that, or you make it yourself."

"But what about all this stuff." She motioned towards the many weapons lining the shelves and walls of the shop.

"These weapons are good and could be used as ninja tools; but we don't know their quality and can not trust them to function properly when the time comes to use them. The only people that would bother to buy weapons straight from a random shop are mostly civilians who are looking to protect themselves, their families or their businesses. These are not for highly trained stealth assassins."

Naruko looked around the store a little bit more before looking back to her brother. "Where do I fill out the paperwork?" She asked. Naruto gave a nod and a smile before walking out of the store with Naruko. The pair walked through the village before arriving at the ninja academy and walking through the building's main entrance.

"Why are we here? I thought we were going to the Hokage's tower to get me some of the village's weapons." Naruko pestered her older brother.

"We never said that we were heading to the Hokage's tower. That would be stupid to put every important office inside the primary building. What would happen if any enemy ninja was able to infiltrate the tower and steal or destroy all the papers in there?"

Naruko thought for a moment and realized the logic in Naruto's words. The two walked through the building's quiet halls before reaching an office door. Upon opening it sat two civilians filing paperwork and one ninja that Naruto knew.

It was none other than Naruto's old instructor, Umino Iruka. When the scared man looked up at the sound of the door opening, a large smile appeared on his face at the sight of his favorite student. A similar smile appeared on Naruto's face.

"Ah, Naruto! How have you been?! It has been ages since I last saw you." Iruka said as he stood up from his seat and walked past his desk to embrace Naruto in a larger friendly hug.

Naruto hugged his father-figure back. "We have been doing well Iruka-sensei. A lot has happened since we last saw you."

Iruka pulled Naruto away and saw the young girl standing behind the blond-haired boy. "I assume this is your little sister?" He asked.

Naruto nodded. "We guess you know about our folks and all that stuff. This is Naruko, she aims to be an amazing ninja just like her brother. But we all know she'll never be that good."

That earned Venom's host a sharp jab in the ribs from his little sister. "I am Namikaze Naruko. It is a pleasure to meet you." She said politely with a bow.

"Wow, so polite. Are you sure your related to Naruto here?" Iruka joked. "Anyways, what are you two doing here? Did you miss my classes so much that you just had to come back? Sorry to disappoint but it's Saturday, no classes for the day."

"We are here because Naruko here wants some of the villages real weapons. We had to pull her out of a civilian weapon store since she didn't know any better." Naruto chuckled.

"Ah. Well, if you are in need of any equipment, I can get it for you no problem." He reached over and grabbed several papers. "All you got to do is fill out these papers and you'll have what you need within a few days. Two days tops."

Iruka handed the papers over to Naruko who stared at them for a moment before being handed a pen. Naruko started filling out the paperwork and had Naruto help her on the parts she did not understand or could not do herself.

When the papers were filled out, she handed them to Iruka. He shifted through them. "Everything seems to be in order. I'll make sure these are turned in. Come back in a day or so to pay and pick up your equipment."

"Thanks Iruka-sensei. Later, want to go get ramen and catch up?" Naruto asked before he and his sister left. Iruka gave a nod and a smile before the two left. A few other ninja walked in just as they left and started talking to Iruka.

The rest of the day was rather uneventful and ended with the two siblings returning to their parents' home. Naruto said he had things to do and proceeded to return to his apartment. When he opened his door, he saw Nightmare still sitting there, having waited the whole time for Naruto's return.

"We are so so sorry!" Naruto quickly apologized. "We did not think it would take that long. We honestly tried our hardest to get away as fast as possible." He started to stammer over his words.

Nightmare just stared at him for a while before holding her hand up in silence. A sly smirk cracked it's way onto her face before she held out both of her arms in a gesture desiring to be hugged. Naruto smiled, thinking he had been forgiven and walked over to the burnt girl. He gently wrapped his arms around her delicate frame and she did the same in return.

They hugged for a few seconds, but when Naruto tried to pull away, Nightmare still held on tightly. Naruto stood there for a moment.

"Nightmare, what are you doing?" He asked. He felt an all too familiar softness press firmly against his back and push him further into Nightmare's grasp. The young symbiote's prehensile intestines slowly slinked out of her open gut and wrapped itself around Naruto's waist, pulling him until he fell over on top of the burnt girl.

Nightmare cuddled into Naruto's body while the nurse did the same from behind. Naruto just stayed squished in between the two as confused as ever. The nurse started to rub her gloved hands slowly down Naruto's body when a sudden knock on the door forced the monster to vanish back to her original dimension.

The tentacles that covered his house quickly retracted into any crack or crevasse available as Naruto got up off Nightmare and went to answer the door. The second he opened the door, there was a large explosion powerful enough to send Naruto flying back.

His back slammed into the wall and he fell to his knees before looking up at his destroyed entry way. His eyes filled with a sudden rage; Naruto saw two human-like shapes leaping away across the distant rooftops. With an angry growl, Naruto gave chase; less concerned about why they attacked and more about just killing them.

It did not take long for Naruto to catch up to his two attackers. When one of them turned to see what the loud thumping was, the surprise was evident in his eyes. It was obvious that they were expecting Naruto to die from the sudden explosion; unfortunately for them, they were very very wrong.

It did not take long for other ninja to join in the chase since the symbol on the two attackers headbands showed them to be allied with the Village Hidden within the Mist. The ruckus caused by the explosion as well as the current chase raised a village alarm and now every single villager knew that there were enemy ninja within the village's walls.

One of the two started to form hands signs before muttering something and holding his mouth open. From his open gob spewed forth a massive amount of mist. The mist thickened as it spread across the surrounding area; hiding the two fleeing ninja from their so they thought.

Naruto did not bother to try and scare his prey like usual. Instead, he opted to simply transform and hunt them down as it. It did not take long for Venom to track down the pair.

Without making a sound, the symbiote caught up to the pair and quickly slashed at the legs of one of the running men. One of his claws caught one of the man's legs and left a large wound that would take at least several months in the hospital to heal; should he ever get to one.

The other tried to get away, without even attempting to stop to help his ally; only to be stopped by a thick black tentacle yanking his legs out from under him and towards the large black demon.

"We should kill both of you for attacking us like that." He raised both men high above his head before slamming them down hard on the building's roof. "But you'll be much more useful to us alive."

Since the ninja were caught so abruptly, the mist that hid them started to dissipate. Revealing Venom choking the two ninja to the group of Konoha ninja present.

Venom continued to choke the two as he looked back at the group. "These do not belong here. We were going to feed off them but thought you all would like to play with them instead."

He continued to choke the two before a sudden feeling coursed through his body; a feeling of familiarity. As several ninja started to move in closer to capture the two, Venom spoke up again.

"On second thought; we need these two. You'll just have to play with them later." He said before quickly leaping away and cloaking himself a fair distance away from the Konoha ninja.

Venom continued to leap through the village while holding the two attacking ninja and avoiding any other ninja loyal to the Village Hidden within the Leaves.

It was several hours later that Venom felt safe before slamming the two into a nearby wall and letting them drop to the ground. Their bruises and wounds already healing up.

The one who had used the mist technique still had misty vapors coming from his mouth while the other jut laid slumped against wall. Venom violently slammed his palms into their faces before grasping their heads tightly and ripping away the pair's black masks.

Venom's large white eyes grew even larger at the faces that stared back at him. "We know you!"

In front of him were none other than Momochi Zabuza and his underling, Haku. With a loud growl, Venom slammed his hands around their throats and raised them up against the wall.

"You two should be dead. But here we find you two alive and attempting to kill us?!" He roared. "We don't know how you survived our previous encounter, but we are sure you will not survive this one." He started to apply pressure around their throats.

"W-wait! L-Lord Venom." Haku managed to choke out. "We are not your enemy. We are like you."

Venom thought for a moment before letting go and dropping the pair to the ground. "Explain yourselves."

"We weren't as dead as you thought we were." Zabuza huffed while not making any eye contact with Venom. Mist still continued to pour from the corners of his mouth. "Lady Empress saw value in us and had us saved and bonded."

Venom leaned in close to the pair. "Show us who you really are."

They both stood up and allowed their respective symbiotes to cover there forms and change them into alien shapes.

Haku was the first to finish the transformation. The symbiote was as difficult to sex right off the bat just like the host. To be honest, even Venom was having trouble telling if the creature was a very attractive male or female.

Haku's symbiote was a very very bright blue, and almost icy color; the long hair was the same color as the flesh. Haku's symbiote was covered in thin spine-like needles protruding from the flesh in nearly every conceivable inch of flesh. Besides that though, the alien had a slim build almost similar to it's host; refined, barely noticeable muscling and standing a head shorter than Venom his-self. So, all-in-all, Haku's parasite was pretty basic in physical build and not too unique besides the hair and needled flesh.

Zabuza's symbiotic form was the same gray as his human skin and had even worse teeth. The symbiotes fangs were so viscous that, in comparison, Venom's fangs were the picture of perfect dental hygiene. Mist still continued to pour from the symbiote's mouth through the gaps between the fangs. He stood taller than Venom but not nearly as bulky. The major gimmick of this symbiote was, that instead of arms and hands, from the elbow down were massive blades similar in appearance to the sword Zabuza once used before. While standing still, he had a habit of unconsciously sharpening his bladed arms.

"As you can see, we have become so much more since our last encounter." Haku's symbiote said. "You may call us Trap. Zabuza-sama's other-half likes to be called Vile."

Venom looked at the pair for a moment. "Suitable names. Now, why did you see it fit to attack us? Do not dare use the excuse, 'you had no idea it was us' because we know that is an outright lie. Lady Empress made sure every symbiote on this planet was well aware who were are."

"It was our job my Lord." Trap said urgently. "Just as you are posted here by Lady Empress. After our bonding, we were posted at Kirigakure."

"Having two of the most wanted defecting ninja come back and swear allegiance was too good an opportunity for those fools in charge to let up." Vile snarled with a terrifying smile. "We have been so good out or jobs too that the hapless villagers would riot if the council tried to have us killed, haha."

"You still have not explained to us why you attacked us." Venom's voice was cold and stern.

"We apologize dearly Lord Venom." Trap said with a low bow. "We were commanded by our village leader to assassinate the fourth Hokage's son and then plant evidence that it was an inside job. We were just complying with our orders. We knew we could never kill you and had planned to simply attack and flee and report the mission a failure do to heavy opposition"

"Fair enough," Venom responded. "But, next time. Inform us of your assigned tasks and don't blow up our front door."

"We make no promises." Vile chuckled.

"We do have a message for you, Lord Venom." Trap said. "Lady Empress wanted us to inform you that she will be coming to meet Konoha's leaders in discussion of something very important and that upon her leave, you will be giving a new task to complete."

Venom huffed. "We just reform and she already wants us to go on another errand. Fine, we will comply with her orders; but we demand she inform us of the discussion she will have with our village leaders."
