A.N- Well everyone here is the rewritten story of The Guardian!
! The song I was listening to was- Assassins Creed 2 Theme- Ezio's Family.
Sorry for any spelling or grammar mistakes.
I don't own Naruto or Assassins Creed!
Enjoy!
Everything was quiet.
Everything was peaceful in the forest that surrounded the Hidden Leaf Village. The wind was calm and cool. The midnight air was clear of clouds and the stars twinkled within the dark sky. The full moon shown down on the village, lighting the way for the people who were out.
There was a disturbance in the air. A white portal opened up on a branch of the tallest tree that overlooked the hidden village. A figure dressed in a black cloak stepped silently out of the portal and stopped on the branch.
The cloak hid everything from view, with the exception of the white dragon ANBU mask that was detailed with red markings. Behind the mask lighting blue cat-like eyes stared out silently toward the village. Bangs of black hair framed the mask and the rest was pulled back into a ponytail. The figure glanced at the full moon and sighted quietly.
The figure lifted its hand to a pouch on its waist and dug out a food pill. As that happened the cloak parted and an hour glass figure could be seen. The figure was clearly a female. The mystery woman lifted her other hand and tilted the mask to the side and popped the food pill into her mouth. Once she swolled the mask was lowered back over her face and she stood silently.
The outfit she had on was a skin tight black corset over top and a matching long sleeved black shirt. The pants were the same material as the shirt. Shin high black heeled boots adorned her feet with hidden knifes within them. A hidden blade was within both twin arm guards that were strapped to her forearms. Two twin swords were crossed in an X formation across her back. The corset had crimson red designs running through it.
The woman looked toward the Hokage Tower and her blue eyes narrowed.
The wind picked up slightly and the woman teleported away with the increase of the wind. She reappeared within the Hokage's office. She looked around and noticed the fifth Hokage was asleep behind her desk with three sake bottles littering the top. She just stared for a few seconds looking at the village leader out cold, probably from drinking so much.
The woman glanced at the sake bottles and her eyes glowed blue as did one of the empty bottles. The bottle shattered with a loud crash and the Hokage bolted straight up into her chair with a kunai in hand.
Tsunade looked around in alarm and zeroed in on the figure that was illuminated by the moonlight that shined through the windows. The only thing she could see was the intimidating ANBU mask that stared back at her silently.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?" she asked quietly.
"…."
"Answer me!" she whispered harshly.
"Always the same Lady Tsunade. Such a temper." The figure said with slight amusement in her voice.
"Y-your… -you- your…." Tsunade stammered.
"Yes. It is me." The mysterious person said.
The Hokage took a deep breath to calm herself and smirked at the figure.
"You can take the mask off." She said.
The person did as said and removed the mask and strapped it to her hip.
"It is good to have you back…. Tara." Tsunade said with a smile.
Tara bowed and smirked, "It is good to be back."
"The war? Is it over?" Tsunade asked with a nervous look on her face.
"Yes, it's over. We won." Tara replied with a smile.
Tsunade leaned back into her chair with a sigh, "Thank goodness. So are you and the others back?"
Tara smiled, "Yes, we are. We had some minor injuries but they will heal."
"I'm glad they weren't too serious. I don't know what the villages would do without you and the others." Tsunade said with a sigh.
"You and everyone is the Leaf Village the other hidden villages would survive. I am sure." Tara replied as she crossed her arms over her chest.
"How is the village doing after the Orochimaru attack?" Tara asked.
Tsunade leaned forward and interlaced her fingers together and replied, "As you know the Third Hokage died. Naruto Uzumaki and Jiraiya came and found me and Shizune. They persuaded me to come back and become Hokage."
At this Tara nodded.
"The village has been doing well. Our newest enemy, The Akatsuki has gone underground. We have not heard of them in about four months. You have heard of them haven't you?" Tsunade asked.
"Yes, I have. They are after the tailed beast for their power. How many have they gotten a hold of?" Tara inquired.
"None. Thank Kami. We reason they have gone into hiding is to rethink their plans and gather followers and collect money." Tsunade replied.
"That is good to hear." Tara said with a node of her head.
"Naruto has finally gotten control of the nine-tails. Bee, the Fourth Rikage's brother has helped him train with the fox." Tsunade stated.
Tara's eyes widened. "He has control of Kurama? Wow, I did not know he had it in him."
"Yes, that brat is something else. I tell you. Always demanding harder missions and still yelling he will become Hokage one day." Tsunade said with a small chuckle.
Tara shook her head, "Kami help us all when that happens. I might have to stay longer than I usually do just to make sure he does not run the village into the ground."
"Yeah. Don't worry. I am sure by the time he takes office he will be mature enough to…"
Tsunade was interrupted by a knock on the door. Tara glanced back at the closed door and then looked toward Tsunade with narrowed eyes.
"Get behind me and put your mask and hood on. Don't say a word. Let me talk." Tsunade said and Tara did as told.
She moved back to Tsunade's left and next to chair she was seated in. She looked to the door through her ANBU mask eye holes as Tsunade gave the order for whoever was behind it to enter.
A team of ANBU and team Kakashi walked through the door and Tara heard Tsunade curse quietly.
"We are back granny! That mission was too easy!" Naruto yelled, even if it was about 12:30 at night.
"Brat, shut up. Now report." The Hokage commanded.
Tara looked at each ninja in turn. First the ANBU team. Two members had black hair. One had spiky and the other had their hair in a low-hanging ponytail. The third member had a wolf sized dog sitting next to them. The fourth had a senbon it their hand and was idly playing with it.
"ANBU you have my order to take off your masks." Tsunade said.
The elite did as they were told. Tara noticed the two black haired men had the Sharingan activated that gave away that they were a part of the Uchiha clan. The female member had red triangle markings on her cheeks. The last member put his senbon into his mouth and chewed on it.
"Weird group." Tara thought.
The long haired Uchiha stepped forward and glance at Tara briefly and she smirked. He did not let down his guard in front of her. Good.
" There was no sign of the The Akatsuki as the boarder of Fire and Rain. The lead was false. No hostiles were seen." He said.
"Good. We needed to be sure. We can't take any chances with them." Tsunade said.
"Alright everyone is dissmi…."
"HOLD ON! Who is that?!" Naruto yelled out as he pointed to the black cloaked figure behind Tsunade.
The Hokage glanced at Tara and raised an eyebrow and Tara nodded.
"She is an old friend of mine. She has just come back from a long term mission."
"Really? How long?" Naruto asked.
"About ten years." Tsunade replied.
"Wow, she must be old." Naruto said.
"Naruto you little…"
"No, I'm 22 years old." Tara replied as she glared daggers at Naruto's head.
"Ahhh… sorry?" Naruto said with a nervous look on his face as he saw her eyes narrow through her mask.
"Just who are you?" Sasuke asked with narrowed sharingan eyes.
"That is none of your concern Uchiha." Tara said with a glare.
"Who do you think…" he started.
"I am older than you boy. Show some respect." Tara said.
Sasuke just glared.
"Okay, enough. All of you are dismissed except for you." Tsunade said a she put a hand up to stop Tara from leaving.
No one moved. Tara looked at Sasuke and Naruto and her eyes changed color. They switched from onyx to light blue and the pupils morphed into black slits.
"I believe she said for you to go." Tara said as her eyes narrowed as she took turns looking at everyone. Once she made eye contact with the long haired Uchiha she stopped. His Manygekyou Sharingan was activated.
"Itachi I order you to…"
"Let him. Let's see if he is strong as people say he is." Tara said with a smirk.
Sasuke smirked. His brother was a master at genjutsu. This woman stood no chance of breaking the-
It only lasted about four seconds. Tara waved her hand and the jusiu broke. She sighted quietly.
"Is that all?" she asked.
"How did you…" Sasuke stared.
"This is my Keki Genki. Plus I am a genjustu master." Tara replied.
"Your clan?" the female ANBU asked.
Tara looked at Tsunade and she nodded.
"The Ryuu Clan."
"The dragon clan!" Kakashi Hatake said as he looked up from his orange book.
"Yes."
"It is an honor to meet you." He said with respect. He knew what her clan could do and become.
"Thank you." She replied.
"The Ryuu clan? Never heard of them." Naruto stated.
"They are a powerful clan from the Land of Shadow's. Their Keki Genki does not just include their eyes. Their eyes allow them to see heat signatures and chakra. Their eye sight it twice as strong as ours. The real power of their bloodline limit is their ability to transform into dragons. It allows them to us their chakra without hand signs." Kakashi explained.
"Should I be worried that you know so much about us Kakashi Hatake?" Tara asked with slight amusement in her tone.
Kakashi rubbed the back of his head at her tone, "No I just read a lot about the other countries."
"Fair enough." she replied.
"Now everyone out!" Tsunade yelled.
This time they did leave. Sasuke glared at Tara the whole time. Itachi however looked at her with slight surprise, wonder, and curiosity.
Once the last person left, Tara went back to her previous spot and smiled at Tsunade.
"That was…. fun." She said.
Tsunade just laughed," Yes it was. So what are your plans?"
" The other guardians and I thought it would be best to inform the village of our…. roles in the village. I want to have a meeting with the village elders, noble clans and heirs at some point."
"Why if I can ask?" Tsunade questioned.
" We think it is time that the villages know they have someone to protect them. That is our job after all." Tara replied.
"Alright I will see what I can do."
"Thank you."
"What will you do now?" Tsunade asked.
"I will probably stay in a hotel for a couple of nights until I can find a small apartment." Tara replied.
"Okay, come see me tomorrow around noon. We will talk more about the meeting."
"Alright. Goodnight Tsunade." Tara said as she bowed.
"Goodnight Tara. It is great to have you back." The Hokage answered with a smile.
Tara vanished in a tornado of fire and appeared on top of the Hokage Tower. She looked out to the village and sighed. "I should change into something more comfridable."
Fire erupted around her and her black guardian outfit changed into a sky blue short-sleeved top with a white skirt and black under shorts. Black fingerless gloves appeared on her hands and black shin-high heeled boots on her feet. Her fingernails and toenails had black nail polish on them. The symbol for fire and guardian on her headband changed to the Leaf village symbol. Her eyes changed from blue back to onyx. Her ANBU mask disappeared.
A black dragon design with red eyes appeared on the back of her shirt.
After the fire died away she looked back at the village and smiled. It was good to be back. Tara jumped down and landed silently into an ally way. Nothing was really open. Some twenty-four hours shops and small take places were still open. As Tara made her way down the main road she heard loud talking. It was only when she heard a description of her outfit, that she stopped. She stood right outside a roman shop. An old man was working behind the counter. She went inside the shop and sat three seats away from the nearest person.
"I can't believe her! Did you guys see her eyes? They were so weird." Naruto Uzumaki said.
"You heard Lady Tsunade it was her Keki Genki." Sakura Haruno answered.
"What does her eyes allow her to do besides better eyesight?" Sasuke asked quietly.
Tara smirked as she scanned over the menu. She decided on the chicken roman with green tea.
"I am sure you heard Kakashi tell us Sasuke. It also gives her the power to bend her justus without hand signs and phase into a dragon." Itachi Uchiha said as he glanced at his little brother.
"That actually sounds a little unbelievable. So the creatures from fairy tales are real? Yeah right." Naruto said.
"Who knows dragons or other creatures could be all around us and we could not even know it." Yamamoto said as he glanced around the shop. Only two other people were there besides their little group.
"Here you are miss! One chicken roman and green tea!" The owner said loudly as he placed the dishes in front of a black haired woman.
"Thank you." She replied softly.
"I wonder who that is." Naruto asked.
"Don't know. Don't care." Sasuke said.
"Then I'll just ask her then!" Naruto answered as he got up.
"You idiot. You can't. She is eating!" Sakura hissed. Naruto did not listen.
He walked right up to her and looked at her closely, "Who are you?"
The woman stopped eating and looked at him in surprise, "It is impolite to ask someone's name before giving your own." She said.
Naruto looked shocked that she said that, "My name is Naruto Uzumaki! I will be Hokage one day!"
The woman smiled slightly and nodded.
"My name is…. Tara Ryuu." The woman replied.
"Ryuu!? Do you know a Ryuu that wears black and red clothes, with a dragon ANBU mask?" He yelled.
The woman looked at him like he was crazy.
CRACK!
"I am so sorry. He does not know when to shut up. He sometimes just goes around asking stupid questions. My name is Sakura Haruno."
"Tara Ryuu." She said as Sakura took her hand and shook it.
"Well it was nice to meet you!" Sakura said as she dragged Naruto back to his seat.
"Yes it was." the older woman commented.
A while later Tara told Sakura and her friend's goodbye. She noticed Itachi Uchiha would stare at her from the corner of his eye. It seemed he was also curious as to who she was. She made her way to one of the more expensive hotels in the village and it was a twenty four hour hotel.
Tara checked in and made her way to the room that would be hers for awhile. It was a medium sized room with a small refrigerator and a queen sized bed and a personal bathroom. A medium sized TV was sitting on a table and a small desk was right beside it.
She took off her headband and shoes. She put all of her hidden weapons on the small desk and a kunai on her nightstand beside the bed.
She took out a scroll from her skirt pocket and unrolled it. She released the seal that was on it and her guardian outfit appeared on the bed with a pop. Her swords were laid right beside the clothes. Tara unsheathed one of the swords and held it out in front of her. The blade and guard was black. In the middle of the blade on one side was a sliver dragon design carved into it. The head of the dragon started at the tip and the tail ended close to the hilt of the blade.
The twin swords were one of her favorite weapons to us and just to look at. Of course with the special ability they possessed also made them one of her favorites. She put the sword back into his sheath and put it and its twin in to the closet. Tara went back to the scroll and summoned more clothes out of it.
Before going to bed she made her way out into the hall and made her way up to the roof of the hotel. She sat down on edge of the roof and stared out to the village. Tara breathed in deeply, taking in the sights and sounds of the village. Her sharp eyes looked at the sleeping village. It was peaceful and quiet. She had to admit besides her home, the Leaf Village was one of her favorite places to be. She felt at home here, even after being gone for so long.
Tara looked up at the full moon and stars that were shining brightly. There were no clouds in the sky, and the weather was nice, a perfect tempriture
Her eyes changed colors from onyx to electric blue cat like eyes. She looked back over the village and her eyes narrowed. She thought about how the village elders would react to finding out she was back. She also contemplated on how the village would react finding out whom and what she was.
She smirked, "So it begins."
She vanished a few seconds later to go rest for the day ahead.
