Hello everyone I'm back once again to bring you another chapter of my story; I hope you all keep enjoying my writing. I apologize if my story seems a little rushed; I'll try to pace my story a little better. Now with nothing else to say lets begin.

Virtue and Venom: Chapter 5

Naruto was walking down the road with Kakashi, Sasuke, Ino and her team with their client; the drunk 'super bridge builder' Tazuna.

Naruto was constantly looking back down the road to the village "calm down Naruto" Kakashi said trying to put his student at ease "Mamushi is fine" he said.

"I know" Naruto said " but I just worry; this is the first time I'm leaving her for more than a few hours. I hope she isn't scared" he said.

"Relax Naruto" Ino said walking up to her fellow blonde "mom and daddy will take care of her" Ino said.

With Mamushi: Yamanaka flower shop

Mamushi was putting flowers into a vase "wow so pretty" she said as she looked to "you're right this is fun" she said with a bright smile.

"Mamushi you are so adorable" Ms. Yamanaka said patting her head "now get ready for school sweetie" she said as Mamushi nodded and went to go get her bag.

"She's like Ino when she was 6 right" Inoichi said walking into the room "brings back memories ehhh" Inoichi said and his wife nodded.

"She's such a sweet heart" said "and we have her for a month; I'm going to teach her everything about flowers while she's here" she said. Just then Mamushi ran down the stairs with the back pack.

"School time" she cheered "bye miss Yamanaka" she said giving her a kiss on the cheek "bye Mr. Inoichi" she said as she gave him a hug. She then ran out of the house ready to start her day.

Konoha streets

Mamushi was walking down the streets as she went to school; as she did so she passed by a bar and 4 men looked at her.

"Look it's her" one of them said "the girl who's always hanging out with that demon brat" he said as they watched her enter the academy grounds.

"Little demon whore" another said "hey boys" he said gaining all their attentions. "What do you say we have a little fun" he said with an evil smirk "she's probably still tight even after sleeping with that demon brat" he said making the other men chuckle.

"Ok" the leader said "we'll wait until she leaves the school then we jump her" he said "what can a girl like her do" he said.

With Naruto and company

Naruto and the teams were walking down the path as they continued to Wave country; Tazuna just got done explaining how Wave doesn't have a shinobi village so he had to go to Konoha to get Shinobi to escort him back home.

As Kakashi read his book he saw a puddle in the middle of the road; as he and the group passed over it the trap was sprung. 2 ninjas appeared out of the puddle and wrapped Kakashi up in chains; they then pulled the chain and sliced the jonin in half.

"Holy shit" Naruto shouted as he saw Kakashi get killed; the 2 ninjas then charged at Naruto and the group. When they were a few feet away one of the ninjas stopped abruptly making his partner jerk back.

"Meizu what's wrong" he said looking back at his brother who was doing a weird pose.

"I cant move Gozu" Mieize said to his brother.

'Shadow possession complete' Shikarmaru thought; he then turned "Naruto, Sasuke; take them out" Shikamaru shouted. Naruto and Sasuke snapping out of their shock rushed to 2 ninja.

Sasuke went for the ninja possessed by Shikamaru and drew out a kunai; Sasuke drove the kunai into his knee making him scream. Sasuke the performed a kick hitting him on the side of his head knocking him out.

The other ninja broke away and was able to dodge Naruto's attack; Naruto chased after him and began to try to hit him with a flurry of punches and kicks. Gozu slashed at Naruto with his gauntlet and nicked him on his ribs. Naruto jumped away holding his ribs and he leaned in pain; Gozu then charged going in for the kill.

'Ok might as well try' Naruto thought as he went through hand signs 'Water style: Mizu Peretto' Naruto then spat out a ball of water from his mouth the size of a fist at Gozu. Gozu was too close to dodge the attack as it hit him in the face with the force of a punch; Naruto used this opportunity to sweep Gozu's legs.

When Gozu hit the gorund he opened his eyes to see the sole of Naruto's sandle; Naruto stomped down with all his might as he heard a crack and saw blood coming out from underneath Gozu's mask. Gozu then stopped moving and Naruto cheered.

"Yeah" Naruto cheered "I knocked you the fuck o- ahhh" Naruto screamed as he forgot he was injured. "My ribs" Naruto whined as he fell to the ground.

"Good job Naruto" came the voice of Kakshi as he waled out of the woods "and thanks for not interfereing Asuma" Kakashi said to the calmly smoking jounin.

"No problem" Asuma said before looking at Ino "Ino, go patch up Naruto; Shikamaru and Choji tie up our prisoners. Me and Kakashi have to chat with our client here" Asuma said as Tazuna began to grow nervous.

Ino rushed over to Naruto and knelt down next to him "let me see Naruto" Ino said as she removed Naruto's jacket and looked at the wound "you have 3 slashes and possibly a cracked rib" Ino said.

"Uhhh Ino" Choji said gaining her attention "this guy's claws are poisoned" he said holding up the gauntlet.

"Oh crap" Naruto shouted "am I going to die" he said beginning to panic.

"Chill out Naruto" Shikamaru said lazily "here" he said tossing a vile over to Naruto. "Nara clan medicine; it's not an antidote but it'll keep you from dying. It works on 90 percent of poisons; lets just hope that it's one of them" he said and Naruto smiled.

"Thanks, Shikamaru" Naruto said before downing the vile "oh god it tastes like blood and garlic" he whined.

"It's deer blood mixed with several other ingredients" Shikamaru said "the garlic is something we add to kill the taste" he said as Naruto began to gag.

"Ok now let me bandage you up" Ino said disinfecting Naruto's ribs and wrapping him up in bandages.

"Ok team" Kakashi said walking over with Asuma and Tazuna "here's the situation- "he began. Kakashi then went on and explained that Tazuna lied about the mission and how his country was ruled by a tyrant named Gato; while the ninja who attacked were no problem, he was certain that there will be stronger opponents waiting for them.

"We will continue on with the mission but I'm sending a message back to Konoha" Kakashi said "we'll tie up these 2 and leave them for the anbu to pick up" Kakashi said as he walked over to the ninja Naruto fought. Kakashi then paused and looked down "huh" he said.

"What is it Kakashi" Sasuke asked; Kakashi then sighed.

"He's dead" Kakashi said surprising everyone; Naruto then felt his stomach drop.

"W-w-what" Naruto said.

"Nose cartilage went into the brain; killed him through a hemorrhage. Probably when you stomped on him" Kakashi said; he then turned around and became alarmed.

Naruto was hyperventilating and shaking; he never killed anyone. Naruto then turned to his side and emptied the contents of his stomach on the ground.

"Naruto" Ino said patting his back "are you ok" she asked. Naruto wiping his mouth looked back at her.

"No" Naruto said "I feel awful" he said; he then got up with some assistance.

"I'm sorry Naruto" Kakashi said as he knew first kills were always the hardest "tie the other one up ad lets get moving" Kakashi said as Sasuke and Choji tied the other one up to a tree and left the area.

Later on, that day

The sun was setting and Naruto was sitting on a log outside the camp he and his team set up; he was still thinking about the man he killed.

"Can't sleep" came a voice from behind revealing Sasuke "me neither" he said as he walked over and sat down on the log.

"I can't stop thinking about that guy" Naruto said "I didn't mean to kill him… but… I just… fuck" Naruto said as he began to rub the back of his neck. Sasuke seeing this started to speak.

"I never killed anyone" Sasuke said "but I intend to kill one person" he said gaining Naruto's attention. "5 years ago, Itachi Uchiha, my brother; murdered my entire clan in a single night" Sasuke said making Naruto go wide eyed "I was outside the compound when it happened; when I returned, I saw the streets lined up with dead bodies. I rushed home to see if my mother and father were still alive; I saw Itachi standing over them after he killed them. I ran away fearing for my own life; he then put me under a genjutsu and mind fucked me for what felt like days when in reality it was merely seconds. I woke up in the hospital the next day and I swore I'd kill him. Killing him is my only goal" Sasuke said.

Naruto was stunned "goddamn Sasuke" he said "I always thought you were an angsty bastard but now I find out there is a reason for it" he said. Sasuke then chuckled at the jab and got up.

"We all go thorough horrible shit Naruto" Sasuke said "all we can do is power through it and try to live another day" he said as he started walking back to camp. "Feel better now" Sasuke asked and Naruto nodded "good now stop being a pussy" Sasuke said which made Naruto gain a tick mark.

"What you say bastard" Naruto shouted and Sasuke flipped him off "hmphed" Naruto huffed. "Stupid emo bastard… saying nice things then insulting me" Naruto grumbled.

"That was kind sweet actually" Ino said scaring Naruto.

"Damn it Ino" Naruto said "how long were you standing there" he asked.

"A few minutes" Ino said as she then sat down "Naruto I want you to know that if you need to talk; I'm here for you" Ino said.

"Thanks, Ino I appreciate it" Naruto said "how are you" he asked.

Ino then sighed and polled up her wrist covering revealing her scar "I'm fine I guess" she said "Asuma, Choji and Shikamaru are all walking on egg shell because of me. I feel so embarrassed for what happened; I walk to a store and people look at me like 'you poor thing', 'she's so damaged', 'bless her heart' and all that other crap" Ino said. "I just want to move past it" Ino said "I want to be known as Ino Yamanaka; cutest genin in Konoha. Not the girl who tried to kill herself because she saw her friends face nailed to a gate" Ino said slightly saddened.

Ino then felt her hand be grabbed by Naruto; she turned and saw Naruto smiling.

"Don't worry Ino" Naruto said "you are the cutest genin in Konoha; I mean you like have nice hair and a pretty face and stuff" he said. Ino blushed at this.

"Aww Naruto" Ino said "would you say that I'm the prettiest girl you ever met in Konoha" she said.

"Ummm" Naruto said in heavy thought "well Mamushi is pretty too, and Ayame from Ichiraku, Hinata has pretty eyes, there was also Kiba's sensei Kurenai, then there was that Anko lady who took a picture of Kakashi, then there's your mom- "Naruto said until he was bonked on the top of the head by Ino.

"First off that ruined the moment" Ino said "second… my mom; really you sicko" she said.

"Hey your mom is pretty… and she made me cookies" Naruto pouted.

"Oh my god you are such a dork" Ino said; Ino then enveloped Naruto in a hug "but in a good way; goodnight, Naruto" Ino said as broke the hug and she began to walk off.

Naruto sat there watching Ino go back to camp; for an instant he felt a bump in his chest 'the hell was that' Naruto thought as he looked at the setting sun.

Meanwhile in Konoha

A man was in an alleyway at dusk; he was currently trying to crawl away from his attacker; earlier he brought up the idea to his buddies that they should kidnap the girl who hung out with the Kyuubi brat and rape her.

They cornered her after she left the school grounds getting ready to have their fun; but things went south. When she entered the alleyway she showed no fear, no hesitation; she lunged at one of his friends and broke his neck.

After that it was a haze of a girl ripping apart 4 full grown men.

As he crawled away trying to hold his intestines in, he felt something grab his foot; he turned around and saw the psychotic grinning face of the girl who was supposed to be his victim. "Please" he begged "please don't kill me; I have kids" he begged.

The girl just began to giggle as she then proceeded to break the mans leg making him scream in agony; she then began to drag the man back to the scene of the carnage.

The next day

Mamushi woke up in her bed once again naked 'huh how did I get here' she thought as she got up; as she did Ms. Yamanaka walked in.

"Oh, Mamushi you're awake" she said "when I came home last night from a wedding, I saw you asleep already; you must've had a busy day" she said. "Uhhh dear…why are you naked; was it hot in here last night" she asked and Mamushi scratched her head.

"I don't know" Mamushi said "I don't remember; I remember walking home but- "she began until Inoichi walked in.

"Honey I- "he began until he saw Mamushi standing naked in the middle of the room.

"Hi mister Inoichi" Mamushi greeted; Inoichi who was now tomato red was grabbed by his wife.

"Inoichi" she shouted "she is changing get out" she yelled as she closed the door. "Now what is it you need to say" she asked.

Inoichi getting focused once again looked at his wife "there has been another killing" Inoichi said making his wife go wide eyed.

"How bad" she asked and Inoichi shook his head.

"Don't know I'm heading there now to head up the investigation" he said giving his wife a kiss before he began to walk off.

Mamushi meanwhile was getting dressed when she saw in her drawer was her cloths from yesterday neatly folded and smelling fresh; she then picked them up and sniffed them 'how come they don't smell dirty' Mamushi thought. 'Dirty cloths go in the dirty bin' Mamushi thought as she tossed them into her hamper missing the small blood stain on the bottom of her top.

At the crime scene

Inoichi, Anko and Ibiki were in a alley near the academy; all looking at the scene in disgust.

"I guess he upped his game" Ibiki said.

There were 4 bodies, all male between the ages of 25-30; they had their limbs hacked off with their heads sitting in their laps with their eyes dug out. Upon further inspection one could see that in each severed head was the victims' genitalia cut out and placed inside the mouth and both testicles in each eye socket.

"I'm thinking it might be a she" Anko said "first victim was a teenage girl who had her face cut off, now these 4 with their junk cut off and stuffed into their mouths" she said.

"Jealousy of beauty for the first victim" Inoichi said "Sakura was a pretty girl; maybe she was targeted for her looks" he said. "Now this" he said pointing "emasculating them and humiliating them" he said.

"This is one sick fucker" Anko said "we taped up the area; lets start looking around for clues" she said as Inoichi and Ibiki nodded.

Meanwhile with Naruto

Naruto and his team arrived in wave country and were walking down a road.

"Shouldn't be too much longer" Tazuna said "my daughter Tsunami will be glad to see some new faces" Tazuna said.

Naruto was looking around; he heard some rustling in the bushes and threw a kunai. Everyone was on guard as Naruto approached; he then saw that he narrowly missed a rabbit.

"Naruto you jackass" Ino shouted as she ran over "you nearly killed the little bunny" she cried as she picked it up and began to cuddle it.

"Aww I'm sorry " Naruto said with Anime tears "I may have killed someone yesterday but I'm not blood thirsty" he said.

"That's weird" Shikamaru said "that rabbit is white; this time of year, it should be- "Shikamaru began.

"Get down" Kakashi yelled; Kakashi tackled Tazuna to the gorund, Asuma ducked down, Sasuke grabbed Shikamaru and Naruto covered Ino with his body as a blade flew through the air before landing in a tree.

"Is everyone- "Asuma began until he saw a sight that made his blood run cold; Choji's head was on the floor and his body was still standing. Choji's body fell to its knees and then collapsed on the floor as a pool of blood formed.

"Choji" Shikamaru shouted running over to his headless friend; Shikamaru looked down in horror as his best friend was now dead.

"Hehe" came a dark chuckle "1 down 7 to go," said a deep voice; as Kakashi looked to the owner of the voice he saw Zabuza Momochi standing on his blade that was implanted into the tree.

"You bastard" Naruto shouted "you killed Choji; I'll rip you apart with my bare hands" Naruto said his eyes turning red and slitted.

"Haha" Zabuza laughed "bring it brat; I'll enjoy cutting you to ribbons" Zabuza said as Naruto got into a fighting stance.

"Naruto hold up" Kakashi said walking forward "me and Asuma will handle this" he said as he and Asuma got ready.

"You killed my student" Asuma said spitting out his cigarette "you don't leave here alive Zabuza" he said.

Kakashi then lifted up his headband covering his sharingan and Asuma brought out his trench knives as both jonin were about to engage with the rogue Kiri nin.
