Nerium

Tsubaki knew she was in the wrong. When she heard that Naruto stole the scroll she knew immediately that her fiancee wouldn't come back to his senses. She didn't join in the hunt for Naruto besides even if he died it wouldn't matter. After all Naruto is an evil child or at least that is what she was lead to believe. Tsubaki is the fiancee of Mitsuki. Mitsuki was all the time telling her prejudiced views of Naruto about how he is a demon in human guise. He even told her about how he planned to trick Naruto into stealing the scroll so he could have an excuse to 'Rid the village of evil'. She knew what was happening but she kept it to herself at least until She heard Naruto was found and brought back. Along with the villagers talking about how Iruka told them this was all a diabolic plan made by Mizuki.

It wasn't long before someone came to her home. The man had the mask of one of the interrogation units "Tsubaki, you have to come with us" She can only sigh and resign herself to her fate. SHe is lead into the prison and a guard opens a door for her to enter then closes it behind her. SHe can feel the air get colder in the room. Tied to her chair was her fiancee who looked terribly frightened as a naked woman caresses his head. The woman was tail and had an hourglass figure, D size breast, Long purple hair and purple eyes. "Oh seems we have a guest" The woman says "I told them to bring her here Nerium" Tsubaki hears a voice as a figure walks out from the shadows. 'The Surgeon of Death' she began to tremble and back up as she saw his cold emotionless eyes on her. "W-what are you and that woman d-doing to Mizuki?!" She stammers

The boy before her raised a brow and looked over to Mizuki and the woman "You are doing it again Nerium. You know how much that form disgust me" The woman giggles "Oh Marix I just love when you talk so coldly to me~ It makes my Hearts tingle~" The woman began to fade away revealing her true form a devilishly purple spider with an black hourglass on it's head and 毒 (Poison) on it's back. The spider was literally on top of Mizukis head. I screamed loudly when I saw her true form.

"Ugh shut up! Your scream is grating!" A web flings from the spider and covers my mouth "Thank you Nerium. Now miss Tsubaki do you know your guilt?" The boy says looking at me I shakes my head no. "Well let us ask him then. Oui garbage" The surgeon pokes my fiancee with a needle making him scream "Who all did you tell of your plan" Mizuki was completely terrified "M-my fiancee Tsubaki" He nods then looks back at me "But even knowing he meant to frame Naruto so he can 'righteously' kill him you said nothing. Oh he probably said he was riding the village of evil didn't he" I nod while trying to back away more

THe surgeon began to laugh "Ignorant. Yes he wanted to kill Naruto but it wasn't for the village it was due to his own prejudice. As for the scroll he was going to take it after killing Naruto then leave the village and hand it to Orochimaru who he has been serving for quite some time" I can only look at him in disbelief but deep down I know he was right. I saw how Mizuki was changing. He was so kind and gentle years ago but now he was just consumed by hatred "Now you know well now I can deal with you some punishment. Nerium if you would" The spider giggles it was disgusting hearing such a beautiful voice come out between those fangs. The spider climbed down and began to make it's way over

The door burst open "Marix enough!" The spider stopped as Lord Hokage stepped in. The boy's eyes change a bit no longer cold and detached "B-but grandpa she knew about all this and didn't tell anyone" The boy began to fidget a bit "I know Marix I know. We will deal with it. Naruto is safe and sound. He is perfectly fine" The hokage goes to the surgeon of death and pats his head what I saw shaked my world views. The cold blooded boy actually began to cry a little "Why do they hate him so much! It isn't fair! All he wants is to be recognized by the village and not treated as a monster but they all!" The Hokage put his arms around the boy "I know Marix. My sweet grandchild you are still childish at times"

The boy began to settle down after crying a bit "Nerium you can go now." THe spider pouts, or at least tries to in her form "Fine see you later handsome~" She then disappears in a puff of smoke. Finally my nightmare is over! I pass out.

"Marix" me and Grandpa are now in a his office "I know you don't like people to target those you care about but please don't do interrogation by yourself again. Leave that to the others" I had my head down "I'm sorry... I lost control of my emotions" The hokage nods "Now how about telling me about that summons you had in there" I look up "Oh that was Nerium she is one of the Tsuchigumo Clan." Grandpa drops his pipe "Tsuchigumo? You mean those... but I thought they were all gone!" I shake my head "No they just stayed hidden from the world leaving beneath the earth somewhere or at least they told me. I met them a few years ago when I was out studying spiders in the forest so I can improve my jutsu" Grandpa nods. he knows I am fond of using threads and strings in a lot of my techniques

"And what did they tell you" I began to recount how while studying them I found one spider being attacked by a sparrow. I saved it and it turns out it was a youngling of their clan. It reported back and they began to contact me. At first I was a little hesitant but eventually I went with them. They began showing me all kinds of uses for chakra threads. From traps, to puppet jutsu, they even taught me how I can apply different types of chakra into threads. They taught me about poison and medicine and even ancient fuinjutsu seals from over 500 years ago. "They say I have a great affinity with them so we made a summoning pact and lately they have been trying to teach me something called Senjutsu"

"W-wait did you say Senjutsu?" I nod the hokage began to think a bit 'Will it be good for us to have a spider sage?' he thinks to himself "Can you use it?" I nod "They taught me how to gather nature chakra through my threads and absorb it. I don't much like the transformation though as I end up growing two more arms and two more 'eyes', it feels very weird" Grandpa sighs "How many more surprises are you going to give this old man. One day you will give me a heart attack" He chuckles and I smile "Marix go home oh and congratulations on graduating" I smile even more but when I turn to the door "Oh and for taking the next step with that Yamanaka girl, you little romantic" My face turns red and I rush out while grandpa laughs

I was thinking. Naruto, Sasuke, and even Sakura contract with some summons like the three sennin. Kakashi summons dogs, The Third summons a monkey, even Guy has a turtle summon. So I thought what kinda summon should Marix have. Well I like making him use chakra threads so Spiders. The Tsuchigumo Clan is something I made up. They are proficient in Thread & Mind techniques, poison, medicine, seals, genjutsu, and Yin Release. MC doesn't like summoning them.
