Naruto : Venom

Meanwhile in Konohagakure

”So.” Ino casually looks at all the males assembled before her. She has Kiba, Choji, Shino, Lee and Neji cornered. ”I bet you’re all wondering why I gathered you all here.”

”More like trapped us all but yeah let’s go with what you said.” Kiba sassily remarks.

”It did cross my mind.” Shino adds.

”I want it to be on the record that I feel uncomfortable about this and I would like to leave.” Neji states.

”Too bad.” Ino smirks.

”Yeah when she get’s like this there is no escape.” Choji admits in defeat. ”It’s best to just get this over with.”

”So... why are we here?” Lee carefully asks.

”Oh it’s very simple. You see I’m here to figure out what you’re all willing to give me to keep my mouth shut.” Ino smiles with a glint of victory in her eyes.

”For what? There’s nothing you’ve got on all of us!” Kiba boasts.

”Okay then. So you’re all okay with me telling the whole village that you all called a certain someone hot during the Chunin Exams?” Ino revels in the feeling of souls breaking. It’s not quite enough yet, she want to add salt in the wound. ”Well it’ll certainly make my life harder if I have to compete against all of you boys for him. I hear he has limitless stamina, imagine how good he is in – ”

”NO! Don’t say it! Just... what do you want?” Choji quickly and shamelessly asks.

Every other male present quickly follows suit.

After Ino extracts promises from each of them to honor her demands – requests. She meant requests – they all walk away with their heads held in shame.

”I’ve still got it.” She smirks to herself.

”Now correct me if I’m wrong,” A very interested voice says from above Ino, ”you definitely said limitless stamina.”

Ino whirls around at the unexpected voice to see a lady wearing a long open trench coat and... very little else. ”Who’re you?”

”Anko Mitarashi at your service.” The kunoichi drops to the ground and gives a sweeping bow while somehow her modesty remains intact.

”Wow that was impressive. How’d you keep your coat closed? You’re like the ultimate tease with that, always promising a glimpse of hidden treasures but never revealing them. Wish I could do that.” Ino blurts out then immediately covers her mouth with her hands. ”Sorry?”

”No need to apologize, in fact I can teach you how.” Anko smirks at the innocent girl before her. ”All you have to do is tell me who has limitless stamina. I’m satisfied with Iruka,” Ino let’s out a high pitched squeak at the mention of her former sensei, ”but I have this friend who desperately needs a damn good lay. Stupid ANBU duties has made her way stressed out and her boyfriend died back before the invasion so she’s had absolutely zero relief except for her own hand. Oops forget I said that part about the ANBU.”

”Uh... sure?” Ino hesitantly agrees. ”You’ll teach me your trick if I tell you who it is?”

”Yep!” Anko throws an arm over Ino’s shoulders. ”So come on girlie, who has the limitless stamina? And can you introduce me to him so I can force him to fuck Yugao until she’s little more than a drooling mess of satisfaction. Who am I kidding, have you seen her? I doubt I’d have to force anything! Just throw them both into a dark room with a good mattress and get out of the way!”

”Al-alvarcus!” Ino stutters out while turning beet red. ”Don’t say such crass things! How could you? Isn’t she your friend?”

”Oh honey that wasn’t crass at all. You’ll realize once you’ve found a boy or two to ride, there’s nothing like it.” Anko sighs in blissful memories. ”Anyways I’m going to need a last name too. Alvarcus...”

”Mar.” Ino turns ever redder at the words of her senior. ”His name is Alvarcus Mar.”

”No shit? He’s got limitless stamina?” Anko taps her chin. ”Nah, that won’t work. He’s too young, hell he’s practically your age! Guess he’s all yours honey.”

Ino’s face is so red it could put tomatoes to shame.

”What’s this?” Anko smirks at the gennin she still has her arm around. ”Could it be...”

”NO! ABSOLUTELY NOT!” Ino shouts.

”Oh honey.” Anko grins in evil satisfaction. ”The things I’m going to teach you. You’ll have no issues wooing him with your feminine charms.”

”NO! The only thing you need to teach me is that trick of yours!” Ino quickly yells. ”No not even that! We can call it even! There’s no need to take an interest in me!”

”Too late.” Anko tightens her grip. ”You’ve piqued my interest. Plus I’ve always wanted an apprentice, looks like you’ve won the lottery!”

”Nooooo! Someone save me!” Ino cries out.

...

”Something is wrong.” Inoichi looks up from the unfortunate person he’s working on. ”Something is very wrong.”

Sound’s Training Field with Orochimaru and Alvarcus

”Alvarcus how nice to see you!” Orochimaru is still radiant from yesterday. He’s still giddy with happiness that I picked him. ”How are you today?”

”You know considering all that went on recently I’m in a surprisingly good mood.” Especially since I have a plan to start tearing down Otogakure. Before it was on my list of things to do but now? I know how I’m going to do it. It’s going to be magnificent!

”Wonderful!” Orochimaru claps and then rubs his hand together. ”What shall we work on today? You said you had a list of things you wanted to learn?”

”Oh yeah that.” I sheepishly rub the back of my head. ”I actually have a list. Like on paper. I have it on me if you want to read through it really quick.”

”Let’s see it.” Orochimaru holds out his hand as I dig through my coats various pockets. I’m keeping the coats as part of my new look, I like them. They’ve grown on me plus now I can make them any color I want. I suppose it’s actually the Weavers that will change the colors, I just have to ask and they’ll be excited to make it for me.

”Here it is.” I pull out a piece of paper and hand it over.

”Hmm.” Orochimaru takes it then unfolds it. Then unfolds it again. And again. ”You weren’t kidding about a list.”

”Nope. I know that it’s a bit ridiculous to go through all of it but I figured I might as well write down what I want to learn.”

”A good third of this is just expanding your ninjutsu library more. Genjutsu though we’ll have to see about. It’s not for everyone, it takes a certain type of mind to craft more complex illusions and you just might have one. We’ve started seals and can work through all the things you have for them – is that learning how to seal a bijuu into a jinchuriki?” Orochimaru looks up from my list.

”Yep. You never know when a bijuu needs to be sealed. Plus it doesn’t have to be a jinchuriki, I know that the Ichibi was sealed into a tea pot for a while and that the Hachibi was also sealed into an item. Not really sure what that one was though. Also it’s gotta be a lot harder to seal a bijuu than a human so I can maybe alter a seal or two to make the sealing formula for my project.”

Maybe I should look into those two items for a point of reference when I work on the Sword of Totsuka? If they can hold a bijuu then surely they can hold humans, they would be excellent to study to make the container for the people I seal away since they have to go somewhere. Eh that’ll have to be much later, I need to get further into fuinjutsu first. I barely know some of the basics and recreating the sword will be a master level project.

”Practical. You’ll have to learn this bijuu chakra suppressing seal first. It’s a good stepping stone. Kenjutsu? Perhaps. It’s not your style but if you do manage to recreate the Sword of Totsuka then it would make sense to at least be familiar with the art more than just ’the pointy end goes in the other guy.’ Everything you have here about the Spiders I cannot help with, it’s something you’ll have to discover yourself. Anything else you would like to add?”

”Yes but it’s not really something for you to teach me. I want access to your lab.” I say with an even tone.

”My laboratory?” Orochimaru looks confused, it’s a whole new look for him. Usually he can figure out exactly what I’m thinking and if not he’s excited to analyze my thought for himself. ”Why would you need access to my laboratory?”

”I need a sterile environment to test things. Why else would I need to use a lab?”

”Careful Alvarcus, even with you I will only tolerate so much sass.” Alright so there’s the line. I’ll make sure to not cross it. ”Be specific. What do you plan to do in my laboratory?”

”I’m attempting to make the Sword of Totsuka. I need to test the chakra conductivity and other attributes of various liquids. It’s best to have as little contaminates as possible, dirty water won’t react the same as pure water and so on.

Plus I’ll need to test various liquids to see which is the best, then there’s the whole how do I make a liquid act like a sword thing, and finding the right material to actually house the entities that are sealed away since they have to be sealed into something.

Not to mention putting it all together. Basically I need a place to work where people won’t mess with my stuff, hence your lab. No one goes in there without your explicit permission.”
