Naruto: My Hiddden Village

Chapter 4: Venom



The man with a scar across his face ran as fast as his legs could carry him, his heart pounding like a war drum. Two dark figures relentlessly pursued him, murderous intent radiating from their auras.

The man knew this could be the end of his journey. His breath came in ragged gasps, his lungs burned, but he forced himself to keep running, away from the deadly threat lurking behind him. The dense forest around him felt like an endless labyrinth, each step feeling heavier and more tiring.

"Don't run anymore, coward!" one of the pursuers shouted from behind, his voice rough and menacing, shattering the forest silence. The words were like a whip spurring him on, but also adding to the despair that was beginning to gnaw at his heart. He knew that running away was not a solution, only delaying the inevitable end.

The wounded man gritted his teeth. Enough was enough! He stopped running, turning to face his two approaching enemies. His sudden movement startled the night birds perched on tree branches, their wings flapping in panic, breaking the forest's stillness. He drew a kunai from his ninja pouch, ready to fight to his last breath. His eyes flashed with fierce determination, even though his body was already covered in wounds and exhaustion.

"You think I'll just give up?" the man hissed, his eyes blazing with anger. Rage and pride were his last fuel to survive. He would not surrender without a fight, even if his chances of winning were slim.

The two pursuers stopped in front of him, mocking grins plastered on their faces. In the pale moonlight, their faces looked even more menacing, like demons emerging from the darkness.

The first was tall and bulky with a large sword slung across his back, his figure intimidating and threatening. The second was smaller and more agile, twirling twin kunai in his hands with swift and deadly movements, his eyes narrowed slyly, observing his prey intently.

"If you want to blame someone," the large man said in a heavy, deep voice, like the rumble of rocks. "Blame your bad luck for becoming our target." The words sounded like a death sentence, cold and merciless. He was completely confident in their victory, underestimating the wounded man's abilities.

"Don't joke around, it's not certain who will survive, besides, even if I die, I will definitely wound you badly!" retorted the wounded man, and immediately lunged forward to attack. He forgot the pain and exhaustion, only the determination to fight and survive remained. The kunai in his hand moved quickly, trying to find a gap in the enemy's defense.

A fierce battle was inevitable. The clang of weapons clashing, the whistling wind as kunai flew, and shouts of anger filled the air. The fight was intense and fast-paced, typical of ninja battles in the Naruto world.

The three exchanged blows and dodged nimbly, using various C-rank ninjutsu in an attempt to take each other down. The silver glint of kunai flashed between the trees, their shadows moved nimbly in the moonlight, creating a terrifying dance of death.

The wounded man desperately tried to defend himself, but he was overwhelmed facing two enemies at once. He managed to evade some attacks, but was hit several times by kunai slashes and heavy blows. Blood began to drip from his wounds, soaking his torn clothes, but he did not give up. His will to survive was greater than the pain he felt.

One of the two pursuers, the smaller and more agile figure, jumped back, creating distance from his opponent. He opened his palm, and chakra quickly gathered there, forming an increasingly large vortex of energy. Then, he stretched his hand forward, a spinning chakra ball appeared in his palm, emitting a dazzling blue light.

"Rasengan!" he shouted loudly, the name of the ninjutsu escaping his lips at the same time as the chakra ball shot towards his opponent's heart. It was Torayama Kyoya, and beside him, Benkei Ushidate was also preparing to attack.

The two of them, after not facing other ninjas for over a year, finally felt the adrenaline of battle flowing fiercely within them again. Fear and nervousness were replaced by fighting spirit and a desire to prove their strength.

Kyoya's Rasengan struck the wounded man's chest dead center. The sound of bones cracking was clearly heard as the man staggered backward, eyes wide in shock, before finally collapsing to the ground, motionless. The fierce battle ended with a resounding victory for Kyoya and Benkei. Silence returned to envelop the forest, only the panting breaths of Kyoya and Benkei broke the quiet.

"Hah… hah…" Kyoya panted, sweat soaking his face. "All thanks to Tsubasa-sama's new ninjutsu creation!" he said proudly, although his breath was still ragged. He felt extraordinary fatigue, but also pride and satisfaction at having won this fight. Rasengan, an A-rank ninjutsu that he could only dream of before, was now his reliable weapon.

"You're right," Benkei replied, also looking exhausted. "This Rasengan is truly an amazing ninjutsu. I never imagined I would be able to master an A-rank ninjutsu like this. Do you still have any energy left, Kyoya?" He felt his body weak and out of chakra, but his spirit remained burning. He wanted to return to the valley soon and share their victory story with Tsubasa and the others.

Kyoya chuckled softly. "Wait a moment, it's been more than a year since I faced another ninja, so my body is a bit rusty. Luckily, everything went smoothly." He tried to normalize his breathing, feeling the chakra flow within his body again. This victory proved that their hard training all this time was not in vain.

Benkei nodded in agreement. Then they both rested for a moment to recover their peak condition. They sat leaning against a shady tree, enjoying the fresh night air and the silence of the forest. This victory was proof of their strength and hard work, and they deserved to celebrate it for a moment.

"Let's go back, Kyoya! Our mission is complete. I want to see Seiya soon!" Benkei exclaimed after feeling his body starting to recover. Longing for his son overcame the fatigue and aches in his body. He wanted to hug Seiya soon and share his adventure story with his wife, Ayame.

Kyoya had also recovered, and hearing Benkei's words, a smile also bloomed on his face as he thought of his son, Kotarou, at home. Longing for his family burned in his heart, motivating them to return to the valley immediately.

The two of them collected the corpses of the ninjas they had defeated, then hurried back towards the hidden valley, their home. Their mission was complete, and they couldn't wait to return to the warmth of family and the peace of the valley.

Meanwhile, in the peaceful valley, Tsubasa was busy tending to the plants in his garden. He weeded, watered the plants, and checked the growth of the vegetables they had planted. This farming routine had become part of his daily life over the past year.

He enjoyed the simplicity and tranquility of life in the valley, feeling a peace he had never felt before.

"Peaceful life," Tsubasa murmured softly, wiping sweat from his forehead. "Who would have thought I would become a farmer in this war-torn ninja world?" He smiled faintly, contemplating the irony of his fate.

In his previous world, he was just an ordinary worker living a fast-paced and busy modern life. Now, he was a young ninja leading a small clan in a world full of danger and violence, yet he found peace in the simplicity of farming life.

He was grateful to be able to enjoy this peace, although deep down he knew that this tranquility might not last long. The shinobi world was a cruel and dangerous place. Conflicts and wars could erupt at any time, destroying this fragile peace.

"But at least, for now, I can enjoy life like this," Tsubasa thought, trying to comfort himself. He had learned almost all the remaining ninjutsu from the destroyed Takagami clan. He continued to practice and develop his abilities, preparing himself to face challenges that might come in the future.

However, he knew that these ninjutsu alone were not enough to protect him and his loved ones in this dangerous world. That was why he created the 'Venom' ninjutsu, a secret weapon he hoped would make him stronger. Venom was his greatest hope, the key to surviving and rebuilding the Takagami clan.

The day was getting hotter, the sun began to feel scorching on the skin. Tsubasa decided to go home. However, as he walked towards the valley, he sensed a different atmosphere from earlier that morning.

The valley seemed more alive, the sounds of laughter and chatter were louder from afar. He felt positive energy filling the air, dispelling the silence and tranquility that usually enveloped the valley.

"Kyoya and Benkei must be back!" Tsubasa exclaimed in his heart, his heart immediately feeling relieved and happy. He quickened his pace, impatient to reunite with his two friends. The longing and worry that had haunted him now vanished, replaced by anticipation and happiness.

True enough, when he arrived in the middle of the valley, he saw Kyoya and Benkei already gathered with the others. They looked cheerful and excited, sharing stories about their adventures over the past two days. The children rested in their mothers' arms, seeming to laugh along as if understanding that their fathers had returned safely.

"Tsubasa-sama!" Kyoya exclaimed, seeing Tsubasa approaching. He immediately approached Tsubasa with a wide smile. "We're back! And the mission was successful!" He showed the ninja corpses they had brought as proof of their mission's success.

"Welcome back," Tsubasa greeted Kyoya and Benkei with a relieved smile. "I'm glad you both returned safely." He shook hands with Kyoya and Benkei, feeling extraordinary relief seeing them return unharmed.

"It's all thanks to Tsubasa-sama's ninjutsu," Benkei chimed in proudly. "Rasengan is truly amazing. The enemy didn't stand a chance at all." He recounted how effective the Rasengan was in their battle, praising Tsubasa's genius in creating such a powerful ninjutsu.

Kyoya nodded in agreement. "We managed to get the ninja corpses that Tsubasa-sama needed. Here they are." Kyoya handed a large scroll to Tsubasa. The scroll looked rather worn, one of the few relics of the Takagami clan that survived the destruction.

Tsubasa calmly accepted the scroll. He did not immediately open it, but instead suggested holding a welcome party for Kyoya and Benkei. "Let's celebrate your return with a small party. It's been a long time since we partied together." He wanted to celebrate this happy moment with his little family, strengthening the bonds of brotherhood and togetherness among them.

Initially, Kyoya and Benkei slightly refused, feeling it was not appropriate to party as if nothing important had happened. They felt this was unnecessary. However, Tsubasa was determined to celebrate this happy moment. He knew that togetherness and happiness were the most precious things, and they deserved to have fun after completing a dangerous mission.

Finally, the seven of them and the three little babies partied together joyfully. They roasted chicken, made rice balls (onigiri), and enjoyed fresh fruits. Laughter and cheerful conversation filled the valley, warming the evening atmosphere. The presence of the small children added to the warmth and happiness of their party.

The night grew late, and the welcome party ended. After everyone had fallen asleep, Tsubasa quietly left his house. He headed to a small building that stood somewhat apart from the other houses.

The building was a simple laboratory that he had built himself, a place where he would experiment with the 'Venom' ninjutsu. The laboratory was his secret place, where he would test the limits of his power and develop the hidden potential within him.

The room looked empty and silent, only illuminated by the dim light of a torch. Tsubasa unrolled the scroll given by Kyoya, revealing its contents. A thin plume of smoke escaped from the scroll, then Tsubasa saw the lifeless body of a ninja lying on a wooden table in the middle of the room. The corpse looked pale and stiff, but perfectly preserved.

The corpse looked like it had died some time ago, but Kyoya and Benkei had managed to preserve it using ninja techniques taught in the Takagami clan in the past. Tsubasa nodded in satisfaction. This corpse was good enough for his first experiment. He felt excited and eager, impatient to test Venom's power immediately.

Without wasting time, Tsubasa began to string together the hand seals that had been imprinted in his memory since the 'Venom' ninjutsu was completed. His fingers moved nimbly and quickly, forming intricate seals that triggered the flow of chakra within his body. He felt an extraordinary chakra energy flowing rapidly in his veins, ready to be released.

This was the first time he had used this ninjutsu directly, but it felt like he already had years of experience. His hand movements were swift and precise, chakra flowed smoothly within his body, as if Venom was already an inseparable part of him.

Some mysterious black symbols and writing appeared from his palms as he touched the corpse's chest. The symbols crept across the corpse's body, covering skin, clothing, and anything attached to it.

The corpse began to shrink slowly, as if being absorbed into another dimension. A pitch-black light enveloped the corpse, then the light shot towards Tsubasa's body, merging with his body without resistance.

After the black light merged with his body, Tsubasa immediately sat cross-legged on the floor, closed his eyes, and began to concentrate on fully activating the 'Venom' ninjutsu. He focused all his attention on the process of activating Venom, feeling the energy changes within his body.

He felt a strange sensation spread throughout his body, the chakra within him spinning rapidly, absorbing energy from the corpse he had just absorbed. The sensation felt strange but not frightening, instead arousing curiosity and excitement within him.

Time passed quickly. Approximately an hour later, Tsubasa slowly opened his eyes. He stood up calmly, feeling the changes taking place within his body. His strength and chakra felt slightly increased, although the change was not too significant.

Suddenly, a pitch-black liquid began to seep from the pores of his skin, enveloping his entire body like a cloak. His body turned pitch black, then he disappeared, sinking into the ground like a liquid. He felt himself merge with the earth, moving freely and without hindrance beneath the earth's surface.

With incredible speed, he moved underground, passing through intertwined tree roots, darting away from his laboratory. He felt an extraordinary sensation as he moved underground, like swimming in an ocean of darkness.

In a few moments, Tsubasa reappeared to the surface, in a place several kilometers away from the hidden valley. He stood upright, feeling new power flowing within him. He smiled in satisfaction, ensuring that his cheat was indeed working perfectly.

The ability that was once only possessed by the two Zetsu in the Naruto world, now belonged to him. Venom was reality, no longer just a theory or imagination.

"Venom… an extraordinary ninjutsu," Tsubasa murmured in admiration. And this was not yet fully complete. He could still continue to absorb other corpses to improve his abilities, both to strengthen his brain and his body's resistance. Venom had unlimited potential, and he had just opened the gate to extraordinary power.

If he continued to hunt corpses and absorb them, he was sure that one day he would surpass the power of Senju Hashirama.

Tsubasa laughed out loud, imagining himself replacing Hashirama as the god of shinobi in the future. A new ambition had ignited in his heart, the ambition to become the strongest ninja in the world, with the power of the 'Venom' ninjutsu in his hands. The shinobi world would tremble under his power, the Takagami clan would rise again, and he would stand at the pinnacle of power, carving his name into the history of the ninja world.
