Helloooo,

Sorry for not updating in a while, so I made this chapter a bit longer to make up for it.

I hope you enjoy!


Chapter 13 – Black Suit

Naruto drifted in and out of a deep, disorienting darkness. The world around him was a swirling void of pain and confusion. The last thing he remembered was Sasuke no, Venom throwing him through the shattered window, his body careening toward the unforgiving streets of New York. Now, all he felt was agony.

"Naruto… Naruto, wake up!" a voice pierced through the haze. It was familiar but distant, echoing in his mind like a faint call from far away. "Come on, Naruto, stay with me!"

It was Mikasa.

Naruto groaned, his entire body aching as if it had been put through a meat grinder. He could feel the rough pavement beneath him, the cool night air brushing against his battered skin. Slowly, painfully, he forced his eyes to open, the world around him blurring into focus.

"Naruto, you need to get up," Mikasa's voice urged, now more distinct. "Your vitals are weak, but you're alive. You need to move before anyone finds you."

Naruto blinked slowly, his body refusing to respond at first. He could barely make sense of his surroundings. His Spider-Man suit was torn in multiple places, his arms and legs covered in bruises and blood. Every breath he took sent a sharp pain through his ribs, likely broken from the savage beating he'd endured.

"Mikasa… I…" Naruto's voice was hoarse, barely a whisper. He tried to push himself up but collapsed back onto the pavement, the strength drained from his body.

"You're severely injured, Naruto," Mikasa said, her tone urgent but steady. "But you have to get up. I'm here to guide you. Just focus."

Naruto gritted his teeth, summoning whatever willpower he could muster. With a trembling hand, he pressed against the ground, his muscles screaming in protest. Slowly, painfully, he managed to roll onto his side, the city lights above him spinning.

"I… I can't," Naruto muttered, his vision blurring again. His face felt swollen, and blood dripped from a cut on his brow, stinging his eye. The taste of iron filled his mouth, a reminder of how close he had come to losing everything.

"You can," Mikasa responded, her voice like an anchor in the storm of pain. "You have to. Sasuke is still out there, and you're the only one who can stop him."

The mention of Sasuke jolted something inside Naruto. He remembered his friend's face the brief flicker of recognition, the struggle buried deep within the monster that had overtaken him. Sasuke was still in there, somewhere, and Naruto had to reach him.

With a grunt of effort, Naruto forced his body to cooperate, slowly dragging himself up onto his knees. Every movement sent waves of pain through his battered body, but he clenched his fists, focusing on Mikasa's voice.

"That's it," she encouraged. "Just keep moving."

Naruto pressed his hand against the nearby wall, using it to pull himself to his feet. He swayed, barely able to stand, his body trembling from exhaustion and pain. His vision swam, but he forced himself to stay upright. He had to keep going.

"Mikasa," Naruto rasped, his throat dry and burning, "how… how bad is it?"

"Your ribs are likely fractured, and you've sustained numerous contusions," Mikasa replied. "But you're alive, and that's what matters right now. You need to get to a safe place and recover."

Naruto wiped the blood from his face, the cold night air doing little to numb the pain that pulsed through him. His thoughts were a jumbled mess, the image of Sasuke, consumed by the symbiote, haunting his every step.

"Where is he?" Naruto asked, his voice barely above a whisper.

"Sasuke,Venom is gone," Mikasa said. "I lost track of him after you were thrown from the building. He has the meteorite. We have to assume he's growing stronger."

Naruto nodded weakly, leaning against the wall for support. He took a deep, shaky breath, trying to ignore the stabbing pain in his chest. "We… we need to stop him."

"Yes," Mikasa agreed. "But not right now. Right now, you need to heal. You're in no condition to fight."

Naruto wanted to argue, but he knew Mikasa was right. He could barely stand, let alone face off against Venom again. The last encounter had nearly killed him, and if he was going to save Sasuke, he needed to be at full strength.

With Mikasa's guidance, Naruto stumbled through the empty streets, making his way toward a safe house. He had used in the past, his mind was clouded with worry and guilt. He had come so close to reaching Sasuke, to pulling him back from the brink, but the symbiote's hold was too strong.

"I'll get him back," Naruto muttered under his breath, his resolve hardening despite the pain that wracked his body. "I won't let him go."

After what felt like an eternity, Naruto finally reached a sage house, his body barely able to hold him upright. He collapsed inside, the door clicking shut behind him as he slumped against the wall. He was a mess physically and mentally, but he had survived.

"Mikasa, get me some time. I'll recover, and then we go after him," Naruto said, his voice thick with exhaustion.

"Rest first, Naruto," Mikasa replied gently. "We'll find him when you're ready. But for now, let me monitor your condition and get you stable."

As Naruto lay on the floor, his body aching with every breath, he closed his eyes, drifting in and out of consciousness. The image of Sasuke's twisted, venomous form haunted his thoughts, but Naruto held onto one single truth: Sasuke was still in there, somewhere.

And no matter how far gone his friend was, Naruto would bring him back even if it killed him.


Naruto woke up groggily the next morning, the pain in his body a constant reminder of the beating he'd taken the night before. Every inch of him ached, and he felt like he'd been hit by a train. As he slowly tried to sit up, he winced, clutching his ribs. His suit was torn in several places, and his face was still swollen from Venom's vicious assault.

Mikasa's voice chimed in, soft and concerned. "Naruto, you should take it easy. Your injuries are severe. I recommend resting for at least another day before you attempt anything."

Naruto groaned, pulling himself to his feet. He needed to check on Tsunade, to let her know he was okay or at least as okay as he could be. He didn't want her worrying unnecessarily.

He carefully changed out of his ruined Spider-Man suit, slipping into his civilian clothes before staggering out of the safe house and heading home. His body protested every movement, but he kept going, driven by the thought of his grandmother.

When Naruto finally arrived home, it was late morning. As soon as he opened the door, the familiar warmth of his home washed over him. Tsunade was in the kitchen, cooking breakfast, the smell of food wafting through the air. She turned around, her face lighting up with a warm smile until she saw the state he was in.

Her eyes widened in shock, and the frying pan in her hand nearly slipped from her grip. "Naruto!" she gasped, rushing over to him. "What happened to you?"

Naruto tried to smile, but the pain on his face made it impossible to hide how beaten he was. "I'm fine, Grandma. Really."

Tsunade grabbed his arm, leading him to the couch. "Don't 'fine' me! You're hurt badly. Sit down." Her hands moved quickly, her eyes scanning every bruise, every cut, as if assessing the damage. Her medical instincts kicked in almost immediately. "Tell me what happened. And don't you dare lie to me."

Naruto sighed, wincing as he sat down, his ribs screaming in protest. He had known this was coming, but he still wasn't prepared for the flood of worry in her voice. He rubbed the back of his neck, trying to think of the right words. "I… ran into some trouble last night while I was out. A big fight, but nothing I couldn't handle."

Tsunade gave him a look, the kind of look that said she wasn't buying a word of it. "Naruto, you're covered in bruises and barely standing. What kind of trouble was this?"

He shifted uncomfortably, avoiding her eyes. "It was… a villain. Really strong. Things got a little out of hand, but I got out before it got too bad."

Tsunade narrowed her eyes, clearly unconvinced. "And you're leaving out the worst parts. I can tell." She sat beside him, her expression softening. "You don't have to protect me, Naruto. You've been through a lot, but that doesn't mean you need to handle everything alone."

Naruto's gaze fell to the floor. He didn't want to burden her with everything that had happened. He didn't want her to know that he had nearly died last night, that his best friend, Sasuke, was trapped inside the monster known as Venom. He couldn't let her feel that kind of helplessness.

"I didn't want you to worry," he said quietly. "It's already enough that you've been through so much. I can handle this, Grandma."

Tsunade frowned, her eyes filled with concern. She reached out and gently cupped his face, her fingers lightly brushing over the bruises. "You've always been strong, Naruto. But that doesn't mean you need to hide everything from me. I can see the weight you're carrying."

Naruto's heart clenched. He hated lying to her, but the truth would only cause her more pain. He forced a small smile, though it was weak. "It's just a rough patch. I'll be back to normal in no time."

Tsunade's expression softened, but the worry didn't fade. She stood up, her hands on her hips. "Well, you're not going anywhere until you're fully healed. I'm going to patch you up first." Her tone was gentle but firm, the maternal care she had for him showing in every word.

Naruto knew better than to argue, especially when Tsunade shifted into her medic mode. She retrieved her medical supplies and began treating his injuries, working silently but efficiently.

As she worked, Naruto watched her, the guilt still gnawing at him. He hated seeing her like this, knowing she was holding back her own worries to stay strong for him.

"I just… I'm sorry," Naruto finally said, his voice low.

Tsunade paused for a moment, her eyes meeting his. "Sorry for what?"

"For making you worry. For not being able to tell you everything," Naruto admitted. "There's a lot going on, and I don't want to drag you into it."

Tsunade smiled softly and placed her hand on his shoulder. "Naruto, I'm always going to worry. That's what family does. But I'm also proud of you. You've faced things most people couldn't imagine, and you've come out stronger every time." She gently squeezed his shoulder. "Just remember, you don't have to carry the world on your own. I'm here. Always."

Naruto nodded, feeling a lump form in his throat. Tsunade always knew what to say to ground him, to make him feel like everything wasn't falling apart.

After treating his wounds, Tsunade sighed, sitting back down beside him. "You need rest. And don't think for a second I'm letting you out of this house until you've recovered."

Naruto chuckled softly, wincing at the pain in his ribs. "Yes, ma'am."

For now, he would rest. But his mind was already racing, thinking about Sasuke, about Venom, and the looming threat that still hung over the city. He would have to face it all again soon, but at least for now, he was home, with Tsunade watching over him.

As the quiet moments passed, he leaned back against the couch, closing his eyes for the first time in what felt like days. He didn't know what the future held, but one thing was certain he wasn't going to give up on Sasuke. Not now, not ever.


A few days had passed since Naruto's brutal encounter with Venom, and although his body was still sore, the worst of the pain had begun to fade. Thanks to Tsunade's medical skills, the bruises and cuts had started healing faster than he expected. But the mental weight of his fight with Sasuke lingered, heavy on his shoulders.

Still, Tsunade insisted he take it easy, which included returning to school and trying to get back into a normal routine at least for a little while. Despite the lingering aches, Naruto knew she was right. He needed to regain some sense of normalcy.

The morning light filtered through his window as Naruto stood in front of the mirror, adjusting his shirt. He still had faint bruising along his jawline, though most of his injuries were hidden beneath his clothes. His ribs, while still sore, were wrapped tightly, making it easier to move around without wincing at every step.

"Mikasa, any word on Sasuke?" Naruto asked quietly as he finished getting dressed.

"Negative, Naruto. No sign of Venom or Sasuke. It's like they've disappeared," Mikasa replied. "But I've set up monitoring systems across the city. If anything, unusual happens, you'll be the first to know."

Naruto sighed, running a hand through his hair. "Alright. Keep me posted."

He grabbed his backpack, slung it over his shoulder, and headed downstairs. Tsunade was already in the kitchen, sipping her coffee and pretending not to watch him too closely as he moved around. He could feel her eyes on him, still cautious, still worried.

"You sure you're ready for school today?" she asked, raising an eyebrow as he grabbed a piece of toast from the counter.

Naruto smiled faintly. "Yeah, I'm fine. I think I'll go crazy if I stay home any longer."

Tsunade smirked, though her eyes softened. "Alright. But if you start feeling anything pain, dizziness, anything you come straight back. Got it?"

"Yes, Grandma," Naruto said with a playful eye roll, earning a light smack on the back of his head from Tsunade.

"Don't 'Grandma' me. I mean it," she said firmly.

"I know, I know. I promise," Naruto replied, smiling despite himself.

As he stepped out the door and made his way toward school, the familiar sights and sounds of the city began to ground him again. It was strange after everything he had been through, school seemed almost... normal. But beneath the surface, there was an undercurrent of tension. He still had Sasuke to worry about. And Venom. And the meteorite.

But for now, he would focus on getting through the day.

Naruto arrived at school just in time for the first bell. The crowded halls were filled with students chatting, shuffling books, and preparing for the day. He blended into the background easily enough, though he noticed a few lingering stares from students who had heard about his recent absence.

As he made his way to his locker, he heard a familiar voice behind him.

"Naruto!"

He turned to see Peter Parker approaching, looking relieved to see him. "Hey, man! You doing, okay? You've been MIA for a bit."

Naruto forced a smile. "Yeah, just had to take care of some stuff. You know how it is."

Peter nodded, though concern flashed briefly in his eyes. "Well, I'm glad to see you're back. You look better than you did before."

"Yeah, Tsunade's been making sure I don't overdo it," Naruto said, closing his locker and shouldering his backpack.

The two of them walked toward class together, falling into an easy rhythm. As they rounded the corner, they spotted Gwen Stacy and Mary Jane already waiting by the classroom door.

"Hey, Naruto!" Gwen greeted him with a bright smile. "Glad to see you back on your feet."

"Yeah, we were starting to think you were avoiding us," Mary Jane teased, though her eyes scanned him, clearly looking for any signs of lingering injuries.

Naruto shrugged, offering them both a grin. "You know me can't stay away for too long."

Mary Jane smiled warmly, stepping closer. "Good. We were worried about you."

Naruto met her gaze, appreciating the concern but not wanting to dwell on it. "I'm fine, really. Just had to handle some things."

The bell rang, cutting off any further conversation, and the four of them headed into class. The day was filled with the usual lesson's lectures, assignments, and the steady hum of student life. Naruto did his best to focus, though his mind kept drifting back to Sasuke and the looming danger. His hands clenched under the desk when he thought of how close he had come to reaching Sasuke, only for Venom to tear him away.


At lunch, Naruto, Peter, Mary Jane, and Gwen sat at their usual spot in the cafeteria. The conversation flowed easily between them, though Naruto found himself mostly listening, occasionally chiming in when needed. The light-hearted banter among his friends helped distract him from the weight of everything on his mind.

"Hey, Naruto, you sure you're alright?" Peter asked quietly when the others were distracted. "You seem... distant."

Naruto forced a smile, though it didn't quite reach his eyes. "Yeah, I'm good. Just... a lot on my mind. But I'll be fine."

Peter didn't press, but his concern lingered. "Well, if you need anything, you know we're here, right?"

Naruto nodded. "I know. Thanks, Pete."

The rest of the school day went by in a blur. Naruto attended his classes, did his assignments, and interacted with his friends, but his mind was never fully present. Even though he was back at school, surrounded by the normalcy of his life, the shadow of Sasuke and Venom loomed over him, always there, always in the back of his mind.

Walking towards his last class for the day, Naruto froze mid-step as an overwhelming sense of danger crashed over him. His Spider-Sense blared in his head, more intense than ever before, warning him of something, someone nearby. His heart began to race as his eyes darted around the classroom, scanning for the source of the threat. But there was nothing inside. The students were going about their day, unaware of the impending danger.

Mikasa, Naruto thought urgently. What's going on?

"I'm detecting an unusual presence just outside the school grounds," Mikasa replied, her voice tense. "Naruto, it's Venom. He's here."

Naruto's stomach twisted into knots. Sasuke. He knew this moment would come, but not like this not at school, where his friends were. He had to act fast.

"I've got to stop him before anyone gets hurt," Naruto muttered under his breath, standing up abruptly.

Peter, Mary Jane, and Gwen all turned to him, confused by his sudden movement.

"Naruto?" Mary Jane asked, concern clear in her voice. "What's wrong?"

Naruto met their eyes, his expression grim. "Get to safety. Right now."

Peter immediately recognized the seriousness in Naruto's tone, his eyes widening as the realization hit him. "Is it…?"

Naruto nodded. "Venom. He's outside the school. I need to stop him."

"Are you sure?" Peter whispered urgently. "You just got back—"

"I don't have a choice," Naruto interrupted. "Get everyone out of here. Keep them safe."

Without waiting for a response, Naruto ran away, his mind racing. He found a secluded spot near the stairwell and quickly suited up, his Spider-Man costume barely containing the tension that thrummed through him. The second he was ready, Naruto sprinted toward the school's exit, his heart pounding in his chest.

As soon as he stepped outside, he spotted him. Venom stood menacingly on the far edge of the school grounds, his towering, hulking figure covered in black tendrils that writhed and pulsed. Sasuke's form was buried beneath the symbiote's monstrous exterior, but Naruto could still see flashes of his friend's face twisted and controlled by the creature.

Venom turned his head, sensing Naruto's presence. His glowing white eyes locked onto him, and a low growl rumbled from deep within his chest.

"Naruto," Sasuke's voice came through, distorted, and filled with malice. "I told you to stay away."

Naruto took a deep breath, trying to remain calm. He stepped forward cautiously, his hands raised in a non-threatening gesture. "Sasuke, listen to me. You must fight it. This symbiote it's messing with your mind. It's making you do things you don't want to do."

Venom's twisted grin spread across his face, exposing sharp, gleaming teeth. "I can feel it, Naruto," Sasuke said, his voice barely his own anymore. "It wants to kill you. And it's getting stronger."

Naruto's heart clenched at those words. Sasuke was still in there—he was fighting, but the symbiote's hold was tightening. He had to get through to him, somehow.

"You can resist it," Naruto said, taking another step forward. "You're stronger than this, Sasuke. You don't need this power. We can figure this out together—just let me help you."

But before Naruto could say anything else, Venom let out a vicious roar, the sound reverberating through the air. Sharp tendrils shot out from Venom's body, lashing toward Naruto with deadly speed. Naruto barely had time to react as he flipped backward, narrowly avoiding the attack.

"The suit… it's feeding off my rage," Sasuke growled, his voice more twisted by the second. "It wants control. It needs to kill you so it can finish what it started."

Venom lunged forward, slashing at Naruto with his claws. Naruto leaped into the air, flipping over Venom's attack, but he could feel the power behind it—Sasuke was holding nothing back.

"Sasuke, stop!" Naruto shouted as he landed, breathing heavily. "You're not a killer. This isn't you."

Venom paused for a brief moment, Sasuke's face flashing through the dark tendrils. "You think I want this?" Sasuke's voice trembled with a mix of anger and desperation. "It's consuming me, Naruto. I can't fight it… not for much longer."

Naruto's heart ached for his friend. "You can fight it! You're stronger than this thing!"

But Venom had heard enough. With a vicious snarl, the symbiote surged forward, its tendrils elongating into sharp, blade-like appendages. Naruto barely managed to dodge the first strike, but the second tendril slashed across his chest, tearing through his suit and drawing blood.

Naruto stumbled back, clutching his chest as pain flared through him. "Sasuke…"

Venom advanced, his eyes glowing with cold fury. "This is your last chance, Naruto. Stay away. I don't want to kill you, but the symbiote does. And I'm losing control."

Naruto clenched his fists, his mind racing. He couldn't give up on Sasuke, but it was clear that words alone weren't going to be enough to save him. He had to fight.

"I'm not leaving you, Sasuke," Naruto said, his voice steady despite the pain in his chest. "If you want to take me down, you'll have to fight me."

With that, Naruto leaped into action, shooting webs at Venom to try and contain him. But Venom tore through the webs effortlessly, roaring in rage as he charged at Naruto. The battle was on.


Naruto flipped through the air, dodging a barrage of sharp tendrils as Venom unleashed his full fury. The symbiote extended its limbs, lashing out with brutal force, each strike tearing through the ground and walls around them. Naruto ducked and weaved, trying to keep his distance, but Venom was relentless, faster and stronger than ever before.

"Stop running, Naruto!" Venom bellowed, his voice a mix of Sasuke's and the symbiote's guttural snarl. "You can't hide from this!"

Naruto gritted his teeth, shooting webs to try and slow Venom down, but the tendrils sliced through them effortlessly. Each time Naruto tried to get closer, to reach Sasuke, Venom lashed out with deadly precision, forcing him to retreat.

"Fight it, Sasuke!" Naruto shouted, dodging another strike. "You're still in there, I know you are!"

But the symbiote's grip was too strong. Venom growled, his tendrils wrapping around Naruto's legs and yanking him off the ground. Naruto crashed into the pavement with a heavy thud, pain shooting through his body as Venom loomed over him.

"You're too late," Venom hissed, raising a clawed hand. "This world is ours now."

Naruto's eyes widened as the claws descended, but at the last second, he rolled out of the way, the pavement cracking beneath Venom's attack. He couldn't keep dodging forever—he had to make a move.

Summoning all his strength, Naruto leaped back to his feet and launched himself at Venom, aiming for the weak spots in the symbiote's form. His fists connected with the dark tendrils, but Venom shrugged off the blows, swinging a massive arm at Naruto and sending him flying into a nearby car.

The impact knocked the wind out of him, his vision blurring for a moment as pain wracked his body. He tried to push himself up, but his limbs felt heavy, his body battered and bruised from the relentless assault.

Venom approached, slow and deliberate, his eyes burning with fury. "I warned you, Naruto."

As Venom's tendrils wrapped around Naruto's neck, lifting him into the air, Naruto's vision darkened. He gasped for breath, struggling against the crushing force. But even as the world started to fade, one thought kept him going—Sasuke is still in there. I have to save him.

Summoning the last of his strength, Naruto whispered, "Sasuke… don't let it win."

For a brief moment, Venom hesitated, the symbiote's grip loosening ever so slightly.

But then, with a guttural roar, Venom slammed Naruto into the ground, his vision going black as consciousness slipped away. The last thing Naruto saw before everything went dark was Sasuke's face twisted by the symbiote's control, but still there, somewhere deep inside.

And then, there was nothing.


Naruto lay unconscious on the ground, his body battered and broken. Venom stood over him, breathing heavily, the symbiote's tendrils writhing with satisfaction.

"Sasuke..." Venom growled, Sasuke's voice barely audible beneath the symbiote's control. "He's gone. You're all that's left now."

As Naruto lay sprawled on the cold pavement, the world around him a blur of lights and sounds. Pain coursed through his body, every muscle screaming in agony after the brutal beating he had just endured. His vision swam, but through the haze, he could hear something a crowd. Voices rising in unison, louder and louder.

"Come on, Spider-Man!" someone shouted from behind the barriers of the school grounds.

"He can win! He has to win!" another voice added, full of desperate hope.

"Spider-Man, get up!" The chants grew louder, filling the air. Students from his school had gathered, cheering him on, urging him to stand.

Naruto's head tilted weakly as he caught sight of Mary Jane and Peter among the crowd, their eyes filled with concern. Mary Jane's hand was tightly gripping Peter's arm, her face pale but determined. Peter, who knew the weight of carrying a secret like Naruto's, watched with the quiet intensity of someone who understood all too well what this fight meant.

But then, Naruto's gaze shifted to Gwen. She stood beside them, her eyes locked on him—not just on Spider-Man, but on him. Naruto's heart clenched as he saw the realization in her eyes. Gwen had figured it out. She knew who he was.

For a moment, their eyes met, and Gwen's expression shifted no longer just concern for Spider-Man, but for Naruto. She knew, and there was no turning back.

Naruto shook his head, forcing himself to push past the pain and confusion. "Mikasa," he whispered through gritted teeth. "I'm not giving up. Not now. I'll fight with everything I've got."

"Understood, Naruto," Mikasa replied, her voice steady in his ear. "Your vitals are low, but you can still move. Be careful."

Gritting his teeth, Naruto pushed himself to his feet, the cheers of the crowd driving him forward. His legs trembled, his chest burning with each breath, but he refused to fall again. He had to win. He had to stop Venom stop Sasuke.

Venom, sensing Naruto's rise, turned his head with a growl. "Still standing, Naruto? You never learn."

The symbiote lashed out again, its tendrils whipping toward Naruto with deadly force. But this time, Naruto was ready. With a swift leap, he dodged the attack and swung up into the air, his webs catching onto the school building as he pulled himself higher. Venom followed, crashing through the structure with reckless abandon, their fight now spilling onto the rooftops.

On the rooftop, they clashed once more. Venom's strength was monstrous, but Naruto's agility allowed him to keep pace, dodging blow after blow. Their fight took them from one building to the next, their movements a blur of power and speed, until finally, they landed back on the streets below.

Venom swung a massive arm at Naruto, but he leapt over the attack, landing on top of a parked car. The impact sent a jolt of electricity surging through the vehicle, and Venom, who had landed beside it, stumbled backward as the electrical shock coursed through the symbiote's body. The tendrils that wrapped around Sasuke shuddered, and for the first time, they began to retract, bits of the symbiote pulling away from him.

Naruto's heart raced. This is it. I can end this.

He jumped forward, thinking it was finally over, but as he reached out, the symbiote lashed out with a last-ditch effort. Tendrils wrapped around Naruto's body, pulling him toward Venom with a force so strong that Naruto barely had time to react. The symbiote began to envelop him, trying to absorb him into its twisted form.

"Naruto!" Mikasa's voice rang in his ear. "You need to break free!"

Naruto gritted his teeth, struggling against the pull of the symbiote. His mind raced, the weight of Sasuke's fate hanging in the balance. But he couldn't let this thing win. He couldn't let it take him too. With a burst of strength, Naruto tore through the tendrils, breaking free of the symbiote's grip.

As Venom staggered back, Naruto grabbed the nearest object he could find a tire and swung it with all his might, slamming it into Venom's side. The impact sent Venom crashing into a streetlight, his form shaking from the force of the blow.

But just as Naruto thought he had the upper hand, the sound of sirens filled the air. Police cars screeched to a halt around them, their lights flashing as officers poured out of their vehicles, guns drawn and trained on the towering figure of Venom.

"Freeze!" one of the officers shouted. "Stand down!"

Naruto stumbled forward, holding his side as he tried to explain. "You don't understand! He's dangerous you can't just shoot him!"

But the police weren't listening. In their eyes, Venom was the immediate threat, and they were prepared to take him down by any means necessary.

The officers opened fire, but Venom's symbiote absorbed the bullets effortlessly, the creature barely flinching. With a feral snarl, Venom lashed out at the police, sending them scattering as his tendrils swiped through the air.

"No!" Naruto shouted, his heart pounding as the scene spiralled out of control.

Thinking quickly, Naruto grabbed an exposed electrical cable from a damaged streetlight. Without hesitation, he swung the cable toward Venom, the live wires crackling with energy. The second the cable made contact with the symbiote, electricity surged through Venom's body, sending him into violent convulsions.

Sasuke's form appeared briefly beneath the black mass, his face contorted in pain. The symbiote screeched in agony, parts of it peeling away from Sasuke's skin, leaving him vulnerable.

"Come on, Sasuke," Naruto muttered, gritting his teeth. "Fight it. You can beat this."

But before Naruto could press the advantage, Sasuke his eyes filled with fury and pain managed to wrench himself free of the cable. Though heavily weakened, Venom lashed out one last time, creating a barrier between himself and Naruto before retreating into the shadows of a nearby alleyway.

"Sasuke!" Naruto called out, but it was too late. Venom, with Sasuke in tow, had escaped into the night.

Breathing heavily, Naruto stumbled backward, his body barely able to hold itself together after the brutal fight. The sound of approaching police sirens forced him to act quickly. He couldn't stay here especially not with the police still gunning for him.

"Mikasa," Naruto panted. "We need to get out of here."

"Understood," Mikasa replied. "I'll guide you to a safe exit."

With one last glance at the chaos surrounding him, Naruto shot a web to the nearest building and swung away, disappearing into the night. His body ached, and his heart felt heavier than ever. Sasuke was still out there, and the symbiote was growing stronger.

But Naruto wasn't done. Not by a long shot.

I'll bring you back, Sasuke, Naruto thought, his resolve hardening as the wind whipped through his hair. I don't care what it takes. I'm not giving up on you.


Naruto perched silently on a rooftop, his eyes locked on a figure below. Nick Fury, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., moved through the busy streets of New York with practiced ease, blending in with the crowd despite his unmistakable presence. Naruto had been tailing him for nearly an hour, his instincts telling him that Fury held answers he desperately needed answers about the symbiote, and even more importantly, about his parents.

Naruto had grown used to shadowing people undetected, but he knew Fury wasn't just anyone. The man had eyes and ears everywhere. Sooner or later, Fury would notice he was being followed.

Sure enough, Fury suddenly stopped, glancing over his shoulder. His one good eye scanned the rooftops with casual precision, his lips curling into a slight smirk. Naruto felt a surge of anticipation he had been caught.

Before Naruto could react, Fury reached into his coat and pulled out a small device. He clicked a button, and a wave of electricity shot through the air, hitting Naruto before he could dodge.

Naruto's body locked up, his muscles refusing to respond as paralysis overtook him. He toppled from the rooftop, crashing into the alley below, landing in a pile of garbage bags with a dull thud. The world spun as Naruto lay there, unable to move, his mind racing.

"Kid," Fury's voice echoed through the alley as he approached. "You know, if you wanted a meeting, all you had to do was ask. You didn't have to stalk me like some third-rate ninja."

Naruto gritted his teeth as the paralysis slowly wore off. He managed to push himself up, glaring at Fury. "I needed to talk to you. And you're not exactly the easiest person to get a hold of."

Fury crossed his arms, his expression unreadable. "So you decided to follow me like some kind of amateur spy? Not your best move, Uzumaki."

Naruto stood, brushing garbage off his suit, the irritation clear in his voice. "I didn't have time to wait. I need answers about the symbiote, about Sasuke, and…" Naruto's voice trailed off for a moment. "About my parents."

Fury raised an eyebrow. "Your parents? What makes you think I know anything about them?"

Naruto's eyes hardened, his frustration bubbling to the surface. "Because you know more than you let on, Fury. And I have a feeling you've been hiding things from me. I need to know the truth about everything."

Fury was silent for a moment, his expression inscrutable. Then, with a slow sigh, he slipped his hands into his pockets and leaned against the wall. "Alright, kid. Let's start with why you're really here. What's got you so worked up?"

Naruto clenched his fists, trying to steady his breathing. "It's Sasuke. He's been taken over by the symbiote. He's… he's almost killed me, Fury. That thing is driving him insane. I need to know what it is, and how to stop it."

Fury's face remained impassive as Naruto spoke, though his eye seemed to flicker with understanding. "The symbiote," he muttered. "That's what this is all about."

Naruto nodded, his frustration giving way to desperation. "I can't lose him, Fury. I have to save him."

Fury let out a long breath, considering his words carefully. "The symbiote isn't just any alien parasite, Naruto. It's part of a much larger entity one that thrives on bonding with hosts, feeding off their emotions, their power. It's dangerous, unpredictable. But as far as how to stop it…" He shook his head. "That's not exactly a one-size-fits-all problem."

Naruto's jaw tightened. "So, you don't know how to stop it either?"

Fury gave a slight shrug. "If I had all the answers, we wouldn't be having this conversation, would we?"

Naruto's anger flared again, but he forced himself to remain calm. There was something else he needed to ask—something that had been gnawing at him for years. "And what about my parents?" he asked quietly, his voice tinged with pain. "I know you had something to do with their deaths. I want the truth, Fury. No more lies."

Fury's eye darkened, his expression becoming colder. "Your parents' deaths were a tragedy, Naruto. But I had nothing to do with it. S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't either."

Naruto's fists clenched tighter. "Don't lie to me."

"I'm not lying," Fury replied firmly. "What happened to your parents was outside of my control. I couldn't have stopped it even if I wanted to."

Naruto's frustration boiled over. "You know more than you're saying! They wouldn't have just disappeared without a trace. You know something."

Fury remained calm, his gaze unyielding. "Believe what you want, but I had no part in their deaths. And digging into that isn't going to change what's happening with Sasuke now. You need to focus on the present, Naruto."

Naruto's anger simmered, but deep down, he knew Fury wasn't going to budge. He exhaled sharply, the weight of the accusations settling in his chest. He had pushed Fury too hard, and now he had nothing to show for it.

"I…" Naruto looked down, his voice quieter now. "I'm sorry for accusing you. I just… I needed to know."

Fury's expression softened, if only slightly. "I get it, kid. You've been through a lot. But don't let that cloud your judgment. Sometimes, looking for answers can lead you down the wrong path."

Naruto sighed, nodding slowly. "Yeah… I know."

Fury pushed off the wall and turned to walk away. "Listen, I've got a job to do, and so do you. Get your head on straight, and deal with the problem at hand." He glanced back at Naruto, his tone serious but lighter than before. "And next time, make an appointment if you want to talk. Otherwise, you're getting a bullet instead of a conversation."

Naruto gave a half-smile, though it didn't quite reach his eyes. "Yeah, I'll keep that in mind."

Fury nodded and walked off, leaving Naruto standing alone in the alley, the weight of his unanswered questions still pressing on him. He had hoped for more clarity, but instead, he felt as lost as ever.

Taking a deep breath, Naruto turned away from the alley and began walking toward home. He had to focus now. There were too many things at stake, and Sasuke's life was still hanging in the balance.


Naruto made his way back to his house, his thoughts a whirlwind of emotions. As he reached the door, he paused, steeling himself for the conversation he knew he had to have.

It's time to tell them everything, he thought.

Naruto stepped inside his house, his heart heavy with the weight of the conversation he knew he had to have. Peter, Mary Jane, and Gwen were already there, sitting around the living room, their eyes immediately locking onto him as soon as he entered. Their faces were filled with concern, especially Gwen's.

Naruto swallowed hard. He had known this day would come when everything he had kept secret would finally have to come out but now, standing in front of them, he wasn't sure where to begin.

"Gwen," Naruto started, his voice soft, his gaze meeting hers. "I never wanted to keep this from you… about me being Spider-Man. But after what happened with your dad, I didn't know how to tell you. I was scared."

Gwen's expression softened, but the pain was still there. Her father had died not long ago in the line of duty, and the memory of that night still weighed heavily on her. "Naruto… I get it. I do," she said, her voice steady but tinged with sadness. "But I wish you'd told me sooner. I always felt like something was off, but I didn't know…"

"I know," Naruto said quietly. "I didn't want to make things worse for you. After losing your dad… I didn't want to be another thing you had to worry about."

Gwen nodded, her eyes glistening, but she reached out and took Naruto's hand. "I understand. I just… I'm glad you're telling me now."

Peter and Mary Jane, who had been silent, exchanged a look before Peter spoke up. "Naruto, we wanted to tell her too," Peter said, running a hand through his hair, clearly feeling guilty. "But we just didn't know when the time was right. We should have said something. This isn't a burden you should've had to carry alone."

Mary Jane nodded in agreement. "We're all in this together, Naruto. You know that."

Naruto gave them a small smile, grateful for their understanding, but his mind was already turning back to the real problem at hand. He took a deep breath, ready to get to the heart of the matter. "There's something else," he said, his voice growing more serious. "It's about Venom… and Sasuke."

Peter's expression immediately shifted to one of concern. "Venom? You mean the symbiote?"

Naruto nodded, running a hand through his hair. "Sasuke's been taken over by it. I tried to stop him, but the symbiote… it's got a hold on him. And the worst part is, I'm not sure how to save him without… without killing him."

The room fell silent for a moment as everyone absorbed what Naruto had just said.

"How did the fight go?" Peter asked carefully, leaning forward. "Was there anything that worked against the symbiote?"

Naruto frowned, thinking back to their brutal battle. "Well… electricity worked pretty well. When I hit him with a live wire, the symbiote started to come off. But it didn't last long. Sasuke managed to escape before I could do any real damage to it."

Peter leaned back, rubbing his chin in thought. "So the symbiote's vulnerable to electricity. That's something we can use." He looked back at Naruto. "But Sasuke… how is he holding up?"

Naruto's face darkened, the memory of Sasuke's pain-filled expression flashing in his mind. "Sasuke's troubled," he said, his voice low. "We were both troubled when we were younger, but he… he's been carrying so much. I think, deep down, he's given up on living. The symbiote's feeding off that. It's like he doesn't care what happens to him anymore."

Mary Jane's face softened in concern. "Naruto… that's awful."

"It is," Naruto replied, the weight of it settling on his shoulders. "And it's why I have to save him. I can't let him stay trapped in that thing. But I'm running out of time."

Peter nodded, determination in his eyes. "We need to find a way to get the suit off him. Before it's too late."

Naruto's gaze hardened. "Exactly. But I can't do this alone. I'm going to need your help."

Gwen spoke up for the first time since Naruto had told her the truth. "You've got us. We'll figure something out. There's no way we're letting Sasuke lose himself to that thing."

Peter leaned forward again, his mind clearly working on a plan. "If electricity worked, maybe we can use that to our advantage. We could set a trap something that'll hit the symbiote with enough electricity to force it off Sasuke for good. But we'll need to isolate the symbiote long enough to separate it from him."

Naruto nodded, though the thought of trapping Sasuke didn't sit well with him. "Yeah, but the symbiote's smart. It adapts. I'll have to keep Sasuke distracted while we set it up."

"That's where we come in," Peter said. "You won't have to do this alone. We'll figure it out."

Naruto felt a flicker of hope. For the first time in a long while, he didn't feel like he was carrying the weight of the world on his own. He had his friends—his family—standing beside him.

"Oh, and by the way," Naruto said, a small smile tugging at his lips. "I've got some help too. I haven't told you guys about my cool AI yet."

"AI?" Gwen asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah," Naruto replied, tapping the side of his head. "Her name's Mikasa. She's been helping me with everything since I got back. She's like a super-advanced AI that can monitor everything and give me real-time updates. She's kind of a lifesaver."

"That's… incredible," Peter said, looking impressed. "Why didn't you tell us about her sooner?"

Naruto chuckled. "I've had a lot on my plate, but yeah, Mikasa's been a huge help. She's the reason I'm still standing after some of the fights I've had."

"Nice to meet you all," Mikasa's voice suddenly chimed in through Naruto's earpiece. "I've been monitoring Naruto's vitals and ensuring he doesn't do anything too reckless."

Gwen blinked in surprise, a small smile forming on her face. "Okay, that's definitely something we could use."

"She can help us coordinate everything when we go after Sasuke," Naruto added. "We'll be able to track him down, set up the trap, and hopefully… save him."

Peter, Mary Jane, and Gwen exchanged determined looks, their resolve solidifying.

"Then let's get to work," Peter said. "We've got a friend to save."

Naruto nodded, his heart swelling with gratitude for the people standing by him. The road ahead was still dangerous, and the odds were stacked against them. But with his friends beside him, he knew they had a fighting chance.

And together, they were going to save Sasuke no matter what it took.


Naruto sat in his room, the tension in the air almost palpable. It had been days of planning, waiting, and preparing for this moment. Mikasa's voice broke the silence in his ear, her tone urgent.

"Naruto, I'm detecting an intense energy spike coming from Sasuke's location. He's using the meteorite to gain more power. It's time."

Naruto's heart skipped a beat, his breath catching in his throat. This was it. The final confrontation. He stood up, his resolve hardening. There was no turning back now.

"We've got to stop him before it's too late," Naruto muttered, pulling on his Spider-Man suit. He could feel the weight of the situation pressing down on him, but he pushed the fear aside. He couldn't afford to lose focus.

As he suited up, his friends gathered around him. Peter, Gwen, and Mary Jane all watched with concern etched on their faces. They knew what was coming, and they knew how dangerous it was.

"You remember the plan, right?" Peter asked, his voice steady but filled with worry.

Naruto nodded, tightening his gloves. "Yeah. Hit him with as much electricity as we can, weaken the symbiote, and pull Sasuke out. Simple enough, right?"

Peter gave a grim smile. "Simple, but not easy. Just be careful out there."

Gwen stepped forward, her eyes soft but determined. "Be safe, Naruto. Don't do anything reckless."

Naruto smirked, trying to lighten the mood. "Reckless? Me? Never."

Mary Jane came to him last, her eyes filled with a mixture of worry and faith. She cupped his face gently, looking into his eyes as if trying to memorize his every feature. "You've got this," she whispered before leaning in and pressing a soft kiss to his lips. "Come back to us."

Naruto smiled softly, nodding. "I will. I promise."

With one last look at his friends, Naruto turned and leaped through the window, swinging into the night. The cityscape flew by beneath him, his heart pounding with every swing. His mind was focused Sasuke needed him, and this was their last chance.

As Naruto approached the location Mikasa had tracked, he could already feel the tension in the air. The sky above was dark, storm clouds swirling unnaturally as the meteorite's energy pulsed through the atmosphere.

Venom stood in the centre of an abandoned industrial yard, his massive form surrounded by arcs of crackling energy radiating from the meteorite. The symbiote was feeding off the alien power, growing stronger, its black tendrils writhing like a living storm.

"Mikasa, how bad is it?" Naruto asked, his voice tense.

"The symbiote is absorbing power from the meteorite at an alarming rate. If we don't stop him soon, he'll become too powerful to contain," Mikasa replied.

Naruto gritted his teeth. "Then let's end this."

He landed on a nearby rooftop, his eyes locked on Venom below. He could feel the air vibrating with energy, the sheer force of the meteorite's power making his skin prickle.

Taking a deep breath, Naruto steeled himself and leapt down into the fray. "Sasuke!" he called out, his voice cutting through the storm. "You've got to stop this!"

Venom's head snapped toward him, the twisted grin of the symbiote spreading across its face. "Naruto…" Sasuke's voice echoed, distorted by the symbiote's influence. "You're too late. This power will change everything."

Naruto clenched his fists. "This isn't the way, Sasuke. You're better than this."

But Venom wasn't interested in talking. With a deafening roar, the symbiote lashed out, its tendrils extending toward Naruto with deadly speed. Naruto barely managed to dodge, flipping over the attack and landing on the ground.

The fight began in a whirlwind of fury. Venom was relentless, slamming into Naruto with monstrous strength, each hit sending shockwaves through the ground. Naruto was faster, more agile, but even his reflexes could barely keep up with the onslaught. Every time he tried to get close, Venom would knock him back, the symbiote's strength seeming to grow with every strike.

"Naruto, now's the time!" Mikasa shouted in his ear. "Use the new gadgets hit him with everything!"

Naruto nodded, flipping out of Venom's range and activating the overpowered electrical gadgets Peter had helped him design. He pulled out the first device, a pair of enhanced web-shooters that crackled with electricity, sending arcs of high-voltage energy across the battlefield.

Venom charged at him again, but this time, Naruto was ready. He fired the electrified webs, wrapping them around Venom's body. The symbiote screamed as the electricity surged through it, the tendrils writhing in pain.

Naruto didn't let up. He grabbed a second gadget an electrical gauntlet and slammed it into Venom's side, sending another massive surge of volts through the creature. Venom howled in agony, the symbiote starting to retract, bits of its black mass peeling away from Sasuke's body.

The symbiote's grip on Sasuke weakened as it thrashed in pain. Seeing his chance, Naruto rushed forward, slamming Venom into the meteorite. The instant Venom touched the alien rock, a massive shockwave exploded from the point of contact, sending Naruto flying back.

A high-pitched ringing filled the air, and the symbiote shrieked in agony as the combined power of the electricity and the meteorite tore through it. Tendrils of the black substance peeled away, dissolving into nothingness as the suit began to break apart.

Naruto's heart pounded. This is it.

He sprinted forward, diving through the fading mass of symbiote and grabbing hold of Sasuke. "I've got you!" Naruto shouted, pulling Sasuke free from the last remnants of the symbiote's grasp.

Sasuke, dazed and weak, collapsed into Naruto's arms. The symbiote recoiled, its form barely holding together. For a moment, it seemed like the fight was over…..

But then, before Naruto could react, the symbiote lunged its tendrils latching onto Naruto with terrifying speed.

Naruto gasped as the symbiote began to bond with him, its dark mass creeping up his body, enveloping him in blackness. "Mikasa!" Naruto shouted, struggling against the overwhelming force.

"Naruto, it's trying to bond with you!" Mikasa warned, her voice urgent.

The symbiote's cold tendrils wrapped around Naruto's form, crawling up his arms, his legs, his chest until it covered him completely. His iconic Spider-Man suit became black, the orange replaced by the sleek, sinister design of the symbiote.

Naruto's mind raced as the darkness of the suit closed in, his body convulsing with the raw power that coursed through him. The symbiote's voice whispered in his mind, seductive and menacing. "We are one now, Naruto… together, we will be unstoppable."

But Naruto fought back, his mind screaming for control. He had to stay in control he had to stay himself.

"Naruto, stay with me," Mikasa's voice broke through the chaos. "Don't let it take you."

Naruto gritted his teeth, his vision blurring as he fought the symbiote's influence. The power was intoxicating, threatening to consume him, but deep inside, he knew he couldn't lose himself. He couldn't let the symbiote win.

"I won't let you take me," Naruto growled, his voice low but filled with determination.

The black suit pulsed with power, its sleek form now fully bonded with Naruto's body. He stood tall, the symbiote suit clinging to him like a second skin. His Spider-Man suit had become something new something darker.

And with that darkness came a new battle…
