Chapter 12: Ventress and Shinobi Past 2

Spaceship Konoha [Naruto's Person Chambers]...

Ventress watched Naruto place himself seated at the edge of his bed; she felt a surge of lust pass through her as she remembered how easily he manhandled her, something only her master Count Dooku had ever been able to do, making her feel powerless.

She hated the feeling of powerlessness, but her body loved it; Ventress knew that feeling was the reason she dedicated herself to the Count and craved power.

The female Dathomirian wanted to experience more of the Count's power to ignite her lust and make her stronger; otherwise, she would always be at anyone's mercy like she is now. It was a conflict between her body and her emotions that wanted different things: one wanted to be dominated, while the other wanted to be in control.

"Here's the deal, little Sith." Naruto said, bringing Ventress out of her thoughts. "Ahsoka has this notion in her head that you're not all bad and can be saved. I, on the other hand, wouldn't mind sending you off into space to suffocate."

"If you think I'll beg for my life, you're dumber than you look." Ventress said as she prepared for death. "Do your worst, I won't break."

"I am not going to kill you. There is no point in me doing it, and I already have everything you know from earlier. So, all I want to do is eliminate you as a threat somehow." Naruto said, not wanting to just release the Sith for her to come back and attack them. But he didn't want to keep her caged on her ship either.

"You're too weak to finish me off as i expected from a Jedi." Ventress spat out, looking at Naruto with hatred burning in her eyes.

"You know that Count Dooku will not forgive you for this failure," Naruto stated in a serious voice. "Not only did you fail your mission, but you also gave the enemy all the information you had about all of his plans."

The female Dathomirian remained silent as the blonde man continued to talk, her mind going to her master, he wouldn't throw her away, would he? Ventress tried to convince herself that he wouldn't, but a small voice in the back of her mind whispered otherwise.

"If you return to him now, he will surely kill you," Naruto stated, the blonde man watched different emotions flash across Ventress' face.

It was honestly amusing at how easily the woman was read. She was first in denial, followed by rage, then she accepted that Dooku would indeed kill her for letting the enemy get a hold of all the information they had. The only way she could redeem herself is if she killed everyone here but she hoped that he would overlook this.

Before she could do anything foolish, Naruto used a Force Choke to hold Ventress in place. It was a Dark Side ability, but the blonde believed that not all Dark Side abilities are inherently evil. By nature, the people who use them let the power consume and corrupt them.

Naruto watched Ventress closely as she floated in midair, clutching her throat, gasping for breath. But that wasn't what caught Naruto's attention; it was the wet patch on her pants. If he hadn't known any better, he would have thought the woman had peed herself. However, the liquid on her pants was due to how aroused the Sith felt when being dominated.

"So what are you going to do, Sith? Now that you have no where to go," Naruto asked as he released his force choke on Ventress.

The female Dathomirian took a deep breath, Naruto looked at her in amusement; she didn't look like a threat at all. Her face was flushed and her pants were basically see-through by this point due to how wet she was from her arousal.

"You don't know anything about me, Jedi; my master wouldn't abandon me. I am his right-hand man." Ventress growled as if trying to convince herself.

"That's funny because he threw you away the moment he sent you after us, no, not even before that when he first met you; you are nothing but a disposable weapon to him." Naruto stated ruthlessly.

Ventress tried not to show it, but Naruto's words hit on some of her greatest fears: being used and abandoned like trash. To her, it was a fate worse than death.

"You're wrong, you bastard! My master wouldn't abandon me. I'm his apprentice." Ventress stated confidently, but Naruto's next words made her spirit crumble.

"You're not, you're just a tool to Dooku; he's the apprentice." Naruto said with a look of pity in his eyes that made Ventress want to wipe off his face.

"I know of Darth Sidious, but my master will betray him and take his place. Then I will be his true apprentice." Ventress said, knowing that betrayal among Sith is a common occurrence.

"Sigh, if you are Dooku's apprentice, what is the Sith name he gave you?" Naruto asked as if he were talking to a child. "Every Sith, whether master or apprentice, has a Sith name that his master granted him. For example, Dooku's Sith name is Darth Tyrannus. So, what is your Sith name?"

Now the female Dathomirian looks as though her world has been turned upside-down; the one she put her faith in wouldn't dare betray her. This has got to be a trick.

"Count Dooku never intended to make you his apprentice; he just needed an trained attack dog that was loyal to him," Naruto stated, making Ventress flinch. "If he saw you as anything other than that, he would have given you a Sith name and not told Sidious about you."

"My master wouldn't tell Sidious about me. We are going to kill Sidious together when the time is right," Ventress stated.

"You can't be that stupid. You have fought several battles in this war and attacked Jedi left and right. There is no way Sidious doesn't know about you." Naruto said, making Ventress flinch. It was true, but that would also mean Dooku never planned to betray Sidious; he was going to betray her instead.

The female Sith mind was in turmoil she didn't want to believe anything the blonde bastard said but he was right, she was a tool, she always knew this on some level but didn't want to admit it, she didn't even mind being a tool but she didn't want to be abandoned.

"Dooku does not hold loyalty to you; he only has his master," Naruto stated. "You have no idea who Darth Sidious is, do you?"

Ventress didn't reply, confirming what Naruto had said: she knew the true identity of the mastermind behind the shadows.

"Of course I don't know; nobody does," The female Dathomiri said, feeling frustrated.

"Darth Plagueis did, and since we hacked his computer system, we know everything the Sith does," Naruto stated as he stared Ventress down.

Of course Darth Plagueis would know about the Shadow that they encountered. When Laari hacked his computer, she also was able to take all of the knowledge the Sith had. Because the Shadow was also linked fully with his Holocron, which was linked to his computer.

"Darth Sidious played us all for fools both the Separatists and the Republic. this whole war is just a means to weaken the Jedi so he can destroy them," Naruto said in a serious voice "Darth Sidious is none other than Sheev Palpatine, Supreme Chancellor of the Republic.”

"What can't be true," Ventress exclaimed, which was the same reaction as some of the others, but when they thought about it, everything made sense.

"I'm telling you the truth," Naruto said as he watched Ventress's face, which looked like her world had been destroyed, because if what the blonde said were true, Dooku never planned to betray Sidious at all; she was alone.

"You are not alone," Naruto said as if he read her mind. "Ashoka thinks that you are not a lost cause and I don't think you are evil but just misguided."

The female Dathomiri barely heard the blonde as his mind was spinning; she was a tool that had been tossed aside. Dooku never saw her as anything other than something to use and discard.

Naruto decided to give Ventress time to compose herself after the revelations he gave and let himself drift back to memories of the past.

Flashback [Shinobi World]...

The ninja of the five great nations were gathered to talk about what they were going to do about the threat that Toneri Otsutsuki posed. He had single-handedly destroyed Konoha and kidnapped the Hyūga princess, taking the younger sister's eyes with him.

"We have to gather our forces and attack the Moon," the Raikage said, "and this Otsutsuki has to be dealt with now before he attacks again."

"We also have to rescue Hinata; she's been kidnapped by that bastard," Tsunade said.

"We have to come up with a plan to defeat this Otsutsuki. We can't underestimate him." Gaara stated.

"It such a waste killing a handsome young man," Mei stated as her bodyguard sighed at her antics.

"We will gather a team from each of our villages to infiltrate and eliminate this threat," Onoki the Tsuchikage said.

"Don't forget we have to rescue one of my Shinobi too, you old fossil," Tsunade said irritated that the old man had left that part out of his plan.

"The life of one Shinobi does not matter when compared to the entire world," Onoki replied with a smirk.

"That may be true, but we don't have to sacrifice her when we go to the moon to fight the enemy. We can just add the rescue to the mission." Tsunade argued, wanting to punch the old man lights out.

"Enough arguing; we will send our team to infiltrate the enemy base and eliminate him. If they can rescue the Konoha Shinobi, they will, but getting rid of the Otsutsuki comes first." Ay stated, wanting this meeting to be over and for them to act.

"That's not a bad plan," A voice said, making everyone turn their heads to see Naruto on the far wall watching them with a smile. "Long time no see, miss me?"
