The Black Leaves
Chapter 45
Naruto gave an audible gulp before slowly making his way into the family room. He moved to sit near his family when he was suddenly wrapped up by Payback tentacles and pulled over to the couch she and Ambush were sitting. He was plopped down right beside the two and squished in between the two buxom symbiotes. Ambush appeared to pay no mind at all to having Naruto pressed up so close to her.
Minato had to hold his wife back from potentially harming herself when she tried to take a step forward against the symbiote's actions.
"Why are you here?" Minato snarled.
Payback gave a light chuckle. Isn't it obvious by now? We are here for your son. We plan on fucking his cute little brains out over and over and having millions of spawn with him." She wrapped Naruto with her arms into a massive hug.
Before anyone could say anything else; a massive fist composed entirely out of hair smashed itself against Payback's face with enough force to shatter several of the symbiote's large fangs.
Payback fell over before grabbing her bleeding jaw and sending an icy glare towards Ambush.
"We apologize for our associate's crude language and blunt manner of speaking. So allow us to elaborate." Ambush cleared her throat as her hair slowly wrapped around Naruto and pulled him even closer against her. "To help strengthen the good will between our two factions; our Empress and your Hokage have agreed to have your child married off to several of us."
"That is absolutely stupid!" Kushina said while jumping to her feet. "How can our human son get any of you things pregnant?!"
"Well, when a man and a women get horny and wanna' fuck they-" Payback started before another fist composed out of hair slammed into her.
"Let us just say that it is a lot simpler than you think." Ambush said before said hair gently wrapped around Naruto and sat him down directly between Ambush's luscious thighs.
Again, Minato had to hold back his wife; but by using two hands this time instead of just one.
"I don't know what the Hokage is thinking by allowing such a thing; but I refuse to except this and will have a long talk with our leader. It's bad enough he let's your kind roam around here unsupervised so you can kill us." Minato spoke coldly.
"You can try all you like; but we will be sure to fuck your son so hard that he won't even remember this village." Payback cackled loudly before dodging another fist made by Ambush. "You really have no one else to blame but yourselves and the villagers. You all may not be able to appreciate the boy's abilities and mind and my only want him for what he holds inside; but we do. We see the potential he has and we will take him if you don't." She said in a surprisingly serious and scary tone of voice.
The two symbiotes stood up and started to leave; with Ambush still holding and carrying Naruto in between her massive bosom. It took a moment for Naruto's family to notice that their son was being carried away before making their discovery known to everyone else.
Naruto was dropped before the two monster women left; leaving him with his family.
"Come." Kushina snarled as she grabbed her husband's hand in a vice-like grip. "We are going to talk with that old fart this very minute."
Minato did not even get a chance to say anything before his wife pulled him out the door and towards the Hokage's office. Leaving both of their children in stunned silence.
Naruko looked over at her brother with an emotionless glance before slowly standing up and walking to her room. Naruto just stood there while his inner voice laughed and started off on the possibilities of his host's potential future. It took Naruto a moment before he too decided to go to his own room.
When he opened his bedroom door, Naruto stood in the doorway and stared in stunned silence at the scene before him. In his room; hanging from the ceiling, was both Anko and Ino both stark naked, tied up in bondage rope, with their crotches pressed firmly against each other while wearing ball-gags.
Both women looked at Naruto with pleading eyes as their moans were muffled by the gags when just the slightest movement forced their pussy's to rub together. Naruto stared for a moment before silently turning around and closing the door and stood facing the opposite wall as his brain tried to put together what he had just seen.
Naruto slowly turned and opened his door before staring at the sight before him once again. With a loud gulp, Naruto stepped closer and tried to figure a way to let the two ninja down without harming either of them. After some awkward stares and a few accidental gropes; Naruto was able to untie the two bound women and allowed them to fall flat on their rumps.
Being the gentleman he was, Naruto covered his eyes and turned around as the two women rubbed their sore bottoms. "You can take some of our clothes." Naruto offered while still looking away.
He heard the sounds of his drawers and closet being opened and closed along with the ruffling of fabric before a small 'thank you' was uttered before the sound of someone leaving through his bedroom window reached Naruto's ears. He waited for a few moments before turning back around and almost falling over in surprise.
Sitting comfortably on the bed; still stark naked, was none other than Anko. The older woman had decided to make herself comfortable while Ino had figured that it would be better to just leave as quickly as possible.
"Not a bad place you got here." She said while looking around and crossing her shapely legs.
"Why are you still here." Was all Naruto could say. He tried to keep his eyes off of Anko's breasts but found it very difficult.
"I haven't given up." She looked directly at the lad. "You got a good head on your shoulders..."
'If she only knew.' Venom chuckled.
"Your not half bad looking. Bet you'll be fucking hot as all Hell, given a few years." She looked Naruto up and down for a moment. "The fact that your the son of the most famous ninja ever doesn't hurt." She chuckled.
Naruto expression soured considerably before he stepped forward into his room and shut his door behind him.
"If you are only here for the money and power then leave now because I will have nothing to do with either of it." Naruto stated firmly.
Anko turned to better face the younger ninja before slowly spreading her legs wide apart. "Nothing but power, influence and money is boring and will do nothing but cause trouble." She held her breasts up. "Sex, however, solves everything." She winked at Naruto before slowly rubbing her nipples. She raised her knees up and leaned back on the bed. "So come fuck me and show me what the son of the Fourth Hokage can really do.
Before anything could happen; a mass of dark blue hair burst out from the window and quickly enveloped Anko before quickly retreating away with the bound woman. Naruto went over to his window to see Payback giving him a smile and a wave while carrying her hair covered bundle away from his home.
Naruto gave a half-hearted wave as his brain tried to once again process what just happened. He quickly decided to not concern himself with it and go about doing his own business.
For the next few days; Naruto's parents were busy coming and going from the house, all the while with very sour expressions on their faces. Naruko kept to herself most of the time and would refuse to utter a single syllable to her brother; for whatever reason he did not know. The only aspect of his life that was normal was his still existing apartment that he would return to whenever possible as well as the consistent training he and his ninja team would do.
An oddity that Naruto did notice; was the looks he was receiving from a large number of the village girls and women. Even some of the married women were giving Naruto lust filled glares. He even witnessed a few of the more loose women flash Naruto their breasts and private regions; giving little Naruto quiet a start.
'What the Hell is going on?!' Naruto mentally shouted.
'We might have an idea.' Venom chuckled. 'Why don't you ask instead of just walk around looking like a confused chicken?'
Naruto looked around and saw three women all giving him the same sexual glances that every other one had; and gave them a soft, nervous smile and a short wave. Seeing that they had the boy's attention; the three women all started making overly exaggerated sexual movements while beckoning Naruto over to them.
Naruto looked to see if anyone was watching before slowly making his way over to the women while giving a loud gulp. The women must have heard him or could see the nervous look on his face; because they were already giggling loudly when he approached the small group.
'Man up!' Venom shouted at his host; causing Naruto to shake out of his stupor and look the women directly in the eyes.
"Well, well, well, looky what we have here girls." One of the women said while resting her hand on one of her friend's shoulder.
"Yes." Said another. "The sexy and single son of the Fourth Hokage came directly to us when he had all of the women in the village to choose from."
"Well, aren't we lucky." The third said while leaning down and pulling her top down with her finger; letting Naruto see nearly every inch of her bosom.
Naruto shook his head a bit to get rid of the naughty thought permeating his head and the foul words being spouted out from his inner parasite. "Um, why are you so happy to us?" He asked with genuine curiosity.
All three women giggled before giving the confused boy an answer. "Oh my! To think that his own father would not tell him something so important." One of them said.
"I heard that is was his mother that made the decision." The second said.
"I heard that she threatened him with several different kinds of sex torture." Third said.
"I would never have guessed that the Fourth was into the kind of extreme play; let alone his wife." Number One said in shock.
The three continued to talk to each other until Naruto cleared his throat loudly to regain their attention. The three women looked him like as if they had completely forgotten he was there to begin with.
"What is going on?" Naruto asked. "Why are you women acting like this around us? We know we're the son of the Fourth Hokage and all but we never got as much attention as this." He whined.
"You poor thing." one of the women cooed.
"Should we tell him?" The third asked with genuine concern for the kid. The three looked at each other before looking back at Naruto.
"Your father issued an order for all women of the village to try and get you to marry at least one of them." The first one said.
Naruto just stood there dumbfounded. His mind was nothing but static as this shocking information tried to make it's way into Naruto's barely functioning brain.
"You can have m if you'd like." Woman Number Three said.
"Or me." Number One quickly said.
"Hell, you could probably marry every single woman in this village all at once if you wanted to. I don't think that many will say no at the chance of sleeping with the son of the Fourth Hokage." Finally said third woman.
Without saying a word, Naruto leapt straight up into the air before turning his body and heading out away from the village. He was outraged at the information he just heard.
"How could they do this to us?!" Naruto roared as he leapt over the village's outer walls. "They can't control our lives just like that!"
'What will we do then? The village is still ignorant to you and I being one and the same. Should we continue to keep it that way?' Venom asked his host. He did not really care for the boy's answer and instead simply wanted to see how far his influence upon the lad had gotten him so far.
Naruto landed on a tree branch and stood there while in thought. Letting the village know that he was the demon would finally get him respect of his own as well as send a message to any potential enemy villages that his village was in control of the demon. On the other hand; Naruto could kiss his social life good-bye within the Hidden Leave Village as way too many people would become scared and cautious around the boy. Sure he would have the entirety of the Symbiote Hive, but Naruto liked a few people within the walls of his home village and would rather not completely ostracize himself from them.
Naruto sat down and continued to think about what he was going to do about his parent's brash decision about his future.
'We obviously can not go along with their wishes. We are hardly even human at this point.'
"True." Naruto said out loud. "What can we do to prevent this?"
'We are honestly surprised a bit here.' Venom said with sincerity. 'We had expected you to go into a blind rage and destroy everything by now.'
"We can't do that whenever things don't go our way." Naruto explained aloud. "Part of being a ninja is keeping a cool head."
Venom scoffed. 'You? With a cool head? Fine, let's see how long that lasts.'
Naruto took a long, deep, calming breath before trying to think up a solution once again. After only a few minutes of thinking, an idea sprung to Naruto's mind.
"We won't be married if we don't pick a girl right? So there. Problem solved." He said with a smile.
'What if daddy-dearest decides that he get's to pick your bride? Worse yet. What if your mother decides your wife? You could end up marrying some very unfavorable people boy.' Venom spouted out matter-of-factually.
Naruto's blood ran cold when he imagined the possibilities. "That would not be very good." He shuddered at the possible women he would be stuck with if either of his parents decided his future bride for him.
He continued to think for a while before giving in. "What do you thing we should do?" He asked Venom. "And don't say murder, torture, or consume."
'Damn.' Venom chuckled. 'Why not go find yourself your own bride instead? There are plenty of women around that would enjoy sharing your bed. There has to be at least one of the many women we have met in our life that you would at least take as a wife.'
"We can't force anyone to marry all of a sudden. It wouldn't be fair to the girl."
'Fair to the girl? Boy do you hear yourself!? You have had symbiotic women nearly begging to fuck our combined brains out and you think that they will actually get upset about marrying you?!' Venom sighed heavily. The lack of awareness the boy had was almost to the point of complete and total frustration for the symbiote. One would think being inside the boy for so long that Venom would be used to it by now.
"Ok then wise guy." Naruto snarked. "Who would say would be willing to marry us?"
'Name a woman and I can guarantee she wouldn't say 'no' to being your wife.'
Now Naruto had to think for a moment since he did know several women-ish things that wold not mind being his. It took the boy longer than he thought it would to come up with an answer, but he finally was able to come up with one.
"We know someone that won't want to marry us; Ichiraku Ayame." He said proudly.
'Not so fast there boy. We can assure you that that young waitress has the hots for you too. And don't use that "little brother" nonsense. If anything else, she might have a little bit of an incest fetish. We can feel the same coming from that little girl you are forced to call a sister as well.'
Caught off guard at Venom's quick response; Naruto tried to think of another woman that would have no interest in him. "Um...What about Hinata's sensei? We doubt she'd be interested in us." Venom was about to retort when Naruto suddenly spoke up again. "What about her sister? OR what about Kiba's mother and sister. They don't even know us."
'As far as you know. You are the Fourth Hokage's son; everyone knows who you are.'
"How many times are we going to go over this?! That doesn't mean they want to marry us!" Naruto shouted.
'We are not going to talk about this any longer!' Venom shouted before forcing control over his host. Without a single word, Venom controlled Naruto leapt back over the village wall and to the center of the village market district.
'What the Hell do you think your doing?!' Naruto mentally yelled at Venom.
"We are going to solve this issue right now and your going to like the solution." Naruto's body hissed. Venom landed his host's body on a roof and looked over the edge; scanning the crowd down below. His eyes locked onto a random young, civilian woman and he leapt down nearby. He was about to approach the women when his body suddenly locked up.
'What are you doing boy?' Venom asked harshly.
'This is MY body, not yours!' Naruto mentally shouted at the parasite. Naruto's body suddenly leapt back up onto rooftop above.
"What are you doing?! You dare to defy me!?" Venom roared. "We are you boy! Defying us is defying your own body and power!"
'Geez Venom, calm down.' Naruto winced. 'We'll find a bride already. Just, calm down.'
"Finally. We don't like having to get rough with you boy." Venom sighed before returning control to his host.
Now Naruto really had to think. Out of all the women willing to be his bride; who would he enjoy being with the most. To be strictly honest there really were not that many that either enjoyed his company or vice versa.
"We guess we could ask Hinata..." Naruto thought out loud. Now, to say that he hadn't had a dirty thought about the girl or two would be a very blatant lie. Just as saying that he wasn't attracted to her quiet personality would also count as a lie.
'What about Ambush and Payback? What about Nightmare? Will they not be heartbroken?' Venom whispered into his host's mental ear. Naruto tried to shake the thought out of his head but his too-big of a heart would not let him. How could he possibly hurt the people/creatures closest to him?
Not being able to think of anything; Naruto decided to return to what he considered his real home. His apartment was as welcoming as ever upon his arrival; relatively dark and covered in tendrils. Exactly the way he liked it.
Naruto stretchered his arms and tried to forget about his problems as he walked over to his cabinet and pulled out a large cup ramen. To be honest, it had been a good long while since he had last eaten the stuff. His parents had been forcing Naruto to eat a variety of different and healthy foods that he really did not enjoy.
Tendrils moved of of his microwave as he filled the cup with water and placed it into the machine. He hit a few buttons and the device sprung to life with a low hum. He leaned against his kitchen table as he watched the cup slowly rotate inside the microwave and reveled in the silence around him. He took a deep breath just as the machine beeped to signal that the ramen had finished cooking.
Naruto took the cup out of the microwave and walked back over to his kitchen table and prepared to sit when the tendrils that made up most of his floor shifted and shaped themselves into a comfortable chair directly underneath the boy. Naruto gave a small thanks before slowly digging into and enjoying his small meal.
The boy ate in complete silence with the only sounds coming from a moving tendril or the slurping of ramen noodles. Naruto finished his meal and tossed the empty cup to a random part of the room; where several tendrils quickly attacked it, ripped the cup apart, and took the pieces elsewhere to be discarded.
Naruto stayed seated at the table as he looked over to his front door. "We expected for someone to burst in here at any moment right then." He said to himself. He pushed away from the table and stood up. "It's good to have some down time."
Seeing that it was getting late; Naruto decided to take a shower before heading off to sleep. He really missed his comfortable cocoon. Naruto went into his bathroom and started to strip when he decided to take a peek outside and look at his apartment door again. He waited for a moment in utter silence before slowly returning back into his bathroom.
He finished removing his organically made clothing and setting them aside before several tendrils turned the shower on for him. He waited for a few moments as the water warmed up and took another peek at his front door. Seeing nothing; Naruto shrugged.
"Looks like we are actually going to have an uneventful evening for once." He said to himself. He got into the shower and let the warm water wash over him as he reveled in the sounds the water made as it his the bottom of the shower.
He was sure to wash his body even though Venom was sure to remind him that he could simply shed his skin instead. Naruto simply enjoyed one of the few things his human side used to do before becoming half of the being known as Venom.
After he was all done cleaning; Naruto turned the shower off and stepped out before realizing he had no towels at all to dry himself with. He quickly peeked out of his bathroom again and, once again, saw that no one was in his apartment besides himself.
"This would be the absolute perfect time for someone to burst through the door and see us naked." He said aloud. He waited in anticipation for someone to either come bursting through his door, or wall.
Naruto waited for a full minute for someone to appear; and when no one did he slowly stepped out of the bathroom in all of his naked glory. Again, Naruto just stood there completely naked and dripping, just waiting for someone to burst through the door and see him. And, once again, he saw that no one did.
'The author is really trying to resist the cliche.' Venom mumbled to himself.
Naruto walked into his bedroom and quickly snatched a towel before drying off. Not even bothering to form new clothes, Naruto leapt up and allowed the tendrils within his cocoon to wrap around him and pull him in for some much needed sleep. Yet, even as the cocoon closed, Naruto still kept a keen eye open for any sign of any one entering his abode while in is unclothed state.
The next morning had Naruto a little hesitant about leaving the safety of his cocoon. Knowing how things usually went for him; he speculated that the very second he opens his bed, there will be a girl standing right there with his male bits right in her face.
The boy took a deep breath before slowly opening his cocoon and being greeted by absolutely nothing. Naruto got down out of the cocoon and looked about his apartment for any signs that any one had been in his home. Everything was exactly the way it should be.
"This is so weird." He said to himself. "By now at least Payback should have come bursting through the door at least a dozen times by now."
'Miss the attention?' Venom chuckled. Naruto refused to respond. 'Have you thought about who is to be your bride? That is; if you are given the choice.'
Again, Naruto did not respond. He only reformed his normal clothing and left his apartment in silence. He decided to head to his favorite restaurant and partake in his favorite breakfast; and as much of it as possible.
Seeing that the place was not too busy, Naruto seated himself and waited for either the owner or his daughter to come and take his order.
"It's been awhile, huh kid?" Ichiraku said with a big smile as he come out from the back of the place.
Naruto returned his smile. "Way too long. We've just been busy with our awesome ninja stuff that we can't come by every single day."
"Shame." Ichiraku said as he cleaned a glass. "You have helped us pay for so much stuff." He pointed to the stove behind him. "See that? All you." He then pointed to the ceiling and more specifically a large spot covered in paint newer than the rest of the ceiling. "A heavy storm hit here while you were gone and part of the roof collapsed. You pretty much payed for the repairs with all the money you've given us."
"Wow." Was all Naruto could say. He knew he had spent more money at this little restaurant than probably anyone has ever spent anywhere; but it never really occurred to him how much he had really helped this old man.
Naruto looked around a bit. "Hey; where's Ayame?" He asked after giving the man his order.
Ichiraku gave a heavy sigh. "She's with that group of hers." He stopped to lean his head back and give another sigh. "Now; that demon hasn't bothered me or my daughter so I don't have that much of an issue with the thing. Heck, it hasn't even touched the store...much."
He served Naruto before continuing on. "I just worry about her, ya' know? She is my only daughter and now she is a part of some cult or something that praises a demon of all things."
Naruto paid the man his full attention as he went on about his troubles.
"I don't know what will happen to her. As far as I know this cult of hers could really be some sort of human trafficking club or something worse. She hasn't told me a thing about it; even with how passionate she is about it. She loves it for reasons I don't know about."
His eyes slowly widened as he came to a sudden realization before he made eye contact with Naruto. "Hey...Mind doing me a favor?"
Naruto could since the tone in the man's voice and had a feeling it was less of a question and more of a demand. "Yes?"
The old man made sure the coast was clear before leaning in closer to Naruto. "Next time you see my little girl; could you try to find out what her little group really does? If you do this for me; your next weeks meals are all free."
Now that peeked Naruto's interest. "Throw in your weight of chocolate and you got yourself a deal."
Not concerning himself with the finer details; the old man agreed while shaking Naruto's hand in gratitude.
And, surprise, surprise; the very girl that they were just talking about pushed her way out from the back of the store with a big yawn before noticing the young blonde sitting near her.
"Oh hi Naruto." Ayame said in her usual cheerful voice.
"Hi Ayame." Naruto said with his trademark grin. "Haven't seen you in a while. What have you been up to?"
A big smile appeared on Ayame's face. "I recently joined this group of really amazing people. We do so much cool and fun stuff that not only helps us out but the whole village too." She said passionately.
"Can I get into this group?" Naruto asked with fake excitement.
Ayame gave a nervous chuckle. "Um, I don't think they'd let in a kid like you Naruto. You may be a ninja, but your still a kid to us civilians."
"Aw, come on! Please?" He begged. He tried to look as innocent as possible.
"Sorry, but no. It's adults only and that is how it is going to have to be." She said with her arms crossed. "But I can tell you about all the cool stuff we do."
Before Naruto could argue; Ayame noticed the time. "I better get going." She gave her father a kiss on the cheek and gave Naruto a small hug before waving bye and running out of the building.
Naruto locked eyes with the old man; who gave the boy a confident nod. The boy quickly finished his meal before hopping off his chair and following Ayame a good distance away.
He did not really have to try that hard to stay out of the girl's sight since she didn't expect anyone to be trailing her. It did not take her too long to find where she needed to go and enter an average looking building.
Naruto looked at the building as he got closer to it. There was absolutely nothing out of the ordinary about it. It did not look like it could be some ritzy sex club or a seedy terrorist hideout; it was just a plan old house. Looked almost like the home of this old woman that he and his ninja team helped out at one time.
Naruto proceeded to leap up to the second floor of the building and quickly cloaked himself before sliding open a window and making his way inside.
