Hakureisaiga- I was going to save this story for later, but well…fuck it, I am going to do it.

Altair- The honorable Hakureisaiga doesn't own Naruto or Assassin's Creed

Hakureisaiga- I own the game though since I bought it, plus Naruto would be kicking ass now

"We must do something of the baby, Danzo." an elder said. Danzo answered, "We will steal the baby and replace it with a dead replica, and then he will become our greatest weapon. With your skills, Koharu, Homura, we will be great."

The woman, Koharu asked, "Will this work, Sarutobi will not cooperate with this." Danzo gave a slow evil smile, "Leave that to me." The three conspirators departed quickly, but left one witness.

An ANBU with an Inu mask whispered, "The hell I will let you three to do this, I will make sure of it."

Hokage's Office- Hiruzen Sarutobi sat his chair recalling the events concerning the hero, Minato Namikaze and his son, Naruto Uzumaki. "Why didn't you let this old fool, Minato-kun, you should be here with your son, damn it." he thought to himself.

Suddenly an ANBU burst into the room, "Hokage-sama!" The baby woke up and began to cry at the sudden noise.

Sarutobi took him up and shook him slightly to cease his crying, "Inu, what is the meaning of this? I just got Naruto to sleep." Inu bowed, "Sorry, but I just overheard Danzo and your old teammates, the elders talking to make Naruto a weapon."

Sarutobi cursed, "Shit! If I condemn him now, the village would be in chaos since he is a hero in evacuating the villagers and fighting against the Kyuubi, but I can't leave Naruto here either." Inu answered, "I got it! Hokage-sama, I have a favor from an old friend of mine. He happens to be in the Brotherhood." Sarutobi's eyes widened, "The Brotherhood? The Assassins."

Inu nodded, "I gave him shelter once when he was on a mission, so he should be here to visit and I will send Naruto with him. His name is Altair…"

Altair- "Now after I visit Kakashi, I will return to Masyaf. Too bad there is no one with potential to train in the assassin's way." The hardened man thought. Inu appeared in front of him and Altair turned to him, "May I help you?"

Inu took off his mask, "Altair, it is me, Kakashi!" the silver-haired young man said. Altair began to say, "Greetings, Kakashi, it's good to…" Kakashi said quickly, "Yeah, great, nice to see you gain. Look, you know that favor you owe me?"

Altair nodded and held the bundle that Kakashi placed in his hands, "That favor is coming now, I need you to take him with you…his life is in danger. Train him to be an assassin and bring him back in twelve years…and don't take his ring finger. It will just grow back."

Altair said, "How is that possible?" Kakashi said, "The reason why you see Konoha in such condition is because we were attacked by a demon named Kyuubi. My sensei sealed it into that baby to protect the village. His name…is Naruto Uzumaki, son of my sensei, Minato Namikaze."

Altair nodded, "I will honor your wish, Kakashi and bring him back."

Konoha-12 years later- Two hooded figures walked up to the gates, "This is Konoha, Taka." Taka nodded at his idol, "Wow, brother Altair, it's much bigger than I imagined." Altair looked at his pupil, "Now Taka, you can choose to reveal your true name if you want to. Remember if Konoha does anything to make you unhappy, you will always be welcome in the Brotherhood and keep to the Assassin's Creed."

Taka said, "As you wish, Brother Altair." Altair moved into the shadows, leaving Taka alone. "I pray no angers you, brother…it would be unwise for them to anger my pupil. Be safe…Naruto."Altair thought as he made his way back to Masyaf.

Taka- Taka made his way to the Hokage's office. The secretary looked up, "Yes, may I help you?" Taka spoke, "I would like to see the Hokage, tell him that the Maelstrom has returned." The secretary eyed Taka and relayed the message. After a few minutes, the secretary said, "The Hokage will see you now."

Hokage's Office- The Hokage waited until Taka came into the room. "ANBU, leave us!" the Sandaime ordered. The four ANBU moved from their positions and excused them, then the Hokage made a privacy jutsu.

Taka said, "So you're Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Sandaime Hokage and the alias of God of Shinobi and the Professor. Thank you for sparing my life. The Sandaime shook his head, "You're welcome, but you should thank the person who notified me, his name is…"

Taka interrupted in monotone, "Kakashi Hatake, I know. Brother Altair told me of his bravery…He was demoted to Jonin because of that, correct?"

Sarutobi confirmed it with a nod, "Indeed you are, now are you going to refer yourself as Uzumaki Naruto or Taka." Taka said, "I will reveal myself as soon as I gain and receive trust from my peers."

The Sandaime said, "All right, Taka, your apartment is in the southern distract, here are the directions and your key, but before that, I will have someone to escort you with the tour. Anko!" Suddenly a purple-haired woman with only a fishnet body suit and a beige trenchcoat walked inside, she was currently eating some dango as she said, "Yo, what's it that you need, jii-sama."

The Sandaime dismissed the comment and said, "This is Taka, he's new here and need a tour guide. Don't try anything with him, he could kill…" Anko didn't listen as she began to whip out a kunai, the hooded boy moved quickly, pinning the Tokubetsu Jonin to the wall, her arms held with one hand and the another one near her jugular vein, his hidden blade unsheathed.

"You seem to have a lot of spunk, Anko-san. You would have been good in the Brotherhood." Taka said, slipping his hidden blade and letting her go. "I can tell that we are going to be great friends." Anko smiled, "Oh, we are so gonna be great friends. Let's go!" Taka and Anko left as soon as possible, leaving Sandaime to think, "What the fuck did just happened?!"

Taka and Anko- The two fast friends toured all over Konoha, Taka took a liking to ramen at Ichiraku meeting Ayame and her father, Teuchi and Anko's all-time favorite food- dango. "Okay, the last stop will be at the Academy, so you can see your classmates and people you may work with in the near future." Anko said.

As the two walked down to the Academy, Taka noticed the glares sent at Anko and whispers of "traitor" or "snake whore". The assassin made a mental note to find out more about Anko and pay a visit to the disrespectful villagers.

Taka glanced at Anko, her face was impassive, but her eyes told everything he need to know. Taka's jaw clenched and his fist closed tightly. "Anko-san…can we stop for a while please? I will be right back." Anko nodded and watched as Taka went to the group and motioned them to the alleyway out of Anko's eye view.

Suddenly a bunch of moans, cracks, groans, and girly screams filled the alleyway and Taka came out unscathed, but due to body language, you could tell he was somewhat relieved. "What did you do?" Anko asked.

Taka replied, "Let's just say those guys know what happens when you judge a book by its cover." With the statement, Taka moved without hesitation as Anko realized that he did it for her.

A lone tear slip down her face as she silently thanked him. At the same time, the hospital received 20 patients equipped with broken bones and none of them could not even remember who did this."

Academy- Iruka lectured the class as Anko and a hooded mysterious figure walked in. Iruka greeted the snake mistress, "Hello, Anko! What brings you here at the Academy?" Anko said, "I am here to escort Taka to this class, he will be graduating along with this year's class and has been trained in the Academy jutsus."

Iruka nodded, "Alright then, introduce yourself to the class, Taka." Taka nodded, "I'm Taka, my likes are none of your concern, my dislikes are people who seems to judge a book by its cover, arrogance, rapists, murderers, sexists and perverts, my hobbies are training, reading, and looking at sunsets with clouds. My dreams…have not thought of it yet."

Iruka and Anko sweatdropped as they both thought, "Anti-social, great, another Uchiha without the angst and emo looks though."

Anko said, "Well then I just excuse myself." Taka stopped her for a moment, "Hey, Anko, if it's not too much trouble, would you honor me in a little get-together? I would really like to get to know you a bit better."

Most of the guys gasped at Taka's statement since they all tried to ask Anko and usually were scared of her sadistic nature and snake summons, but their jaws dropped as Anko smiled and answered, "Why not? Maybe it might be fun."

Then the woman sauntered out of the room. Taka smirked and thought, "That woman…is interesting." Then he went to sit by a Hyuga named Hinata and a noisy Inuzaka named Kiba petting his puppy Akamaru.

Kiba whispered, "How the hell you do that, most of the boys including me were scarred for life or chased by snakes." Taka smirked, "It takes the right words and actions to get to a woman's heart. Ask your kaa-san about it."

Kiba nodded while Taka leaned towards Hinata and whispered, "Besides everyone wears some kind of mask, right, Hinata?" Hinata's eyes widened, "W-What are y-you t-talking a-about, T-Taka-kun." Taka smiled, "You know what I am talking about. You're good…better than Anko-san, but your eyes gave it away."

Hinata said, her eyes hardening a bit, "Who are you?" Taka replied, "Someone who didn't fit in…someone who once wore a mask, but learned not to care about words, but actions and cast off his mask."

Hinata smirked, "Congrats, you are the 1st person to ever see past my mask. You are truly good, maybe we should get to know each other. How about tomorrow at 7 pm. in front of the Hyuga estate." Taka smirked, "I take you up on that offer."

Hinata nodded and donned back on her mask, inwardly smirked, "My, this Taka character is interesting, I can't wait to see him in action." Taka thought, "I wonder if they are worthy of my trust. I will have to observe some of them by using Kage Bunshin." (A/N: You didn't think I would make Naruto without his signature move, right?) After Iruka dismissed the class, Taka made 30 Kage Bunshin and had them follow each classmate, then made his way to his apartment to change.

Sasuke- The clone saw that the Uchiha was very arrogant and power-hungry, but showed promise. The clone deduced that the Uchiha had a terrifying past and emotionally unstable. The clone thought, "He looks like the type to betray friends in an instant for power and believes that he is the shit. Reminds me of Altair when he was arrogant." The clone made a hand sign and dispelled itself.

Sakura- "As I thought all brains and no brawn, and to make it even worse, a fangirl. Hell, she doesn't even train her butt off. Somebody got to set her straight." The clone thought.

Ino- The clone sighed, "Uhh…another one, damn it, but at least she trains a little and she seems to work in a flower shop. Nice, I might get some discounts if I am friends with her."

Choji- "Damn, you can never see this boy without a bag of food or something. He may not look like it, but he's strong, loyal and probably insecure of his weight, so calling him fat is a taboo."

Shikamaru- "Clever little bastard, he managed to find me. He is lazy, but smart, he may be a strategist. Finally someone I can test my mind against. Also he can use his own shadow to capture people with theirs, interesting fellow."

Hinata- "Must resist…urge to …assassinate…degrading bastard. Even though she is keeping up the mask, it is still wrong to do that. Her cousin…Neji, I think, is an asshole and has some kind of grudge, her father belittles her or her mask for that matter, and her sister is a mix of Hinata's mask and her father. If I can convince Hinata to remove her mask, then they might change."

Kiba-"I think I lost hearing in both my ears, this place is noisy. Like a dog, loyal, loud and thinks with his hormones, but he actually ask that question. I hope he gets a lady for his sensei to teach him etiquette. Oh shit…dogs, damn…"

Shino- "Cool, stoic, quiet…typical, he is an Aburame…I better move, that female beetle is too close to me."

Anko's house- Naruto, dressed in black pants with a golden sash to match his hair. He wore black boots, each with a knife inside the boot and wore a blank ANBU mask that Sarutobi gave him earlier.

Taka knocked on the door and heard someone rushing down the steps. The door opened to reveal Anko in a strapless dark purple dress with black heels. Taka spoke one word and one word only, "Damn." Anko smirked, "As much as I like you staring at me, but we have a date to catch."

Taka stepped, undressing her and offered up the crook of his arm. Anko took it and they walked down the courtyard. "I can't let my guard down. He probably did that to gain my trust for something else, but I will indulge him to see his intentions." The snake charmer thought to herself.

Restaurant- As they entered the restaurant, the waiter, without looking up, said, "Welcome, sir or madam, may I help you?" Taka said, "Table for two, please." The waiter looked up and when his eyes fell upon Anko, "I'm sorry, sir, but may I ask why is this whore here?"

Anko was about to give the waiter a piece of her mind until Taka put a hand in front of her, "Excuse me, sir." Taka said, his voice dripping with venom, "But what whore are you talking about? I see a beautiful, sophisticated young woman next to me. Now…get me your manager quickly before I lose my patience."

Anko thought, "He is just doing that to gain trust but…why do I feel relieved and happy that he said that." The waiter moved quickly to get the manager and returned with a 30-year-old brunette.

"Hello, I'm Michiko, manager of the Golden Dragon. Is there a problem?" she asked. Taka replied, "Yes, there is. Your waiter deliberately belittled and insulted my date, calling her a whore. I, as a gentleman, don't tolerate this sexist comment."

Michiko's eyes narrowed on the waiter, "I see, sir, thank you for reporting this outrage. Ichiro, you're fired!" Ichiro protested, "Michiko-san, you can't do this, I …" Michiko said, "I believe I just did, now remove yourself from my sight."

The manager turned to the couple, "I am terribly sorry for this. I will personally serve you and tonight's dinner is on the house." Taka said, "Thank you, Michiko-dono…you're…" Taka pushed Anko away, pulling off his sash and wrapped it around Ichiro's neck. His hand dropped a kitchen knife he recently acquired as he took his stuff.

Taka literally dragged the choking Ichiro and opened the doors. Then he took off the sash from Ichiro's neck, which immediately fell on his hands and knees gasping and wheezing for air. Taka sent chakra to his right leg and gave Ichiro's ass a chakra-infused kick, sending him flying in the air.

Hot Springs- Ichiro, much to his misfortune, landed in the hot springs. Ichiro burst out of the water, slightly red because of the heated water. Then an eerie silence came on and Ichiro turned around to see that he landed in the middle of the ladies' section and most of them are kunoichi, including a certain red-eyed beauty. Ichiro sweatdropped, "Now, ladies, there is a perfect expla…" The ladies shouted, "PERVERT!!!"

Restaurant- Taka smirked as he heard Ichiro's girly screams, "Damn, I must have kicked him into the hot springs." He turned to see the residents gaping at him. "Well, since I have your attention, people." Taka said, "I have to say that you people are worse than trash. Now I am a forgiving man, but if I hear any of you sons of bitches try to hurt Michiko-san or Anko-san, I collect your freaking head. Thank you and enjoy your dinner."

Silence occurred as Taka and Anko were escorted to a table away from the spectators. Once they placed their orders, Anko whispered, "Taka, you didn't have to do that for me."

Taka looked up at her and replied, "Anko, you are the first friend I ever had. In the Brotherhood, the only relationship that I had was a partnership. After 12 years of that, do you think I wouldn't be attached to you? You…were not afraid to attack me regardless of my prowess in assassination, that made me happy and you became my first friend and I'm obliged to defend my friends from such people."

Anko thought, "Is he actually being real to me?"Taka said, "I know you don't trust me because your eyes give away everything. You have been hurt by someone close to you, and now shunned by that person's actions, right?"

Anko nodded her head silently and then Taka continued, "Look you can trust me, Anko. I promise and I never break a promise to anyone." Anko gave him a genuine smile and touched his hand, "Thank you, Taka. You are the second person besides Kure-chan to say that to me."

Anko could not see it, but felt Taka smiling, "Glad I could be and I would like to meet this "Kure-chan" of yours some time." Just then Michiko returned, "Okay, here is your sake for the both of you, the pork curry and rice for the gentleman and the chicken tempura for the lady. Enjoy!"

Anko quirked, "Aren't you a little young to drink?" Taka said nonchalantly, "Old enough to kill, then old enough to drink and have sex. You will never know when someone is going to kill you."

The two ate while they talked of various things: interrogation, travels, and favorite things to do. Taka talked about his brother and mentor Altair and their jobs. "So…Anko, tell me why are you hated so much, is it because of that Sannin?" Taka said.

Anko shifted uncomfortably as she whispered angrily, "How do you know about that?" Taka said casually, "I took the time to look up your file after I was dismissed from the Academy. I wanted to figure out why you had those looks, so I read the file and believe that these people are complete assholes seeing as that person and it's unfair to you. Also I am sorry that I did that."

The snake mistress sighed, "Well, I was bound to tell you some time or later in the future, so I might as well come out of the closet." Anko looked at him as he moved his hand to hold hers, "I want to know you, Anko…the real you because I was an outsider there. I hated it and felt alone, I know how you feel, so you don't have to run and hide anymore."

Anko's amethyst eyes welled in tears, but they were brushed quickly by Taka, "C'mon, Anko-san, I hate it when girls cry, it makes me wanna cry too." Anko replied, "B-Baka." Soon they finished their meal and thanked Michiko before leaving.

Taka escorted Anko to her house as he got to know the real Anko instead of the tough shell. "I had a great time tonight, Taka-san." Taka answered, "As did I, Anko-san, but before we depart. I will reveal my mask to you. After all, friends don't hide secrets from friends, right?"

Taka lifted his hand and removed his mask causing Anko to gasp and blush slightly. Taka had a sharp jaw line with his 3 whisker-like marks on his cheek, making his face have a feral look and piercing cerulean eyes.

Taka said, "My real name is Naruto Uzumaki and I am trusting that you only call that name in private until I reveal it to everybody." Anko nodded, "I will, Naruto-kun." Naruto planted a kiss on the cheek, "Good night, Anko-chan."

Without a word, he put back on his mask and disappeared in the shadows. Anko held her cheek gingerly as she turned to open the door to find a rose hanging between the handle. She smiled, "Uzumaki Naruto is a…interesting young man." She thought as she walked inside, holding the rose to her head.

Her roommate Kurenai looked at the snake heiress bewilderly, "She must have had a good time. I wonder who could make her feel like this, I will ask her tomorrow." Kurenai thought, "But if he hurts her, whoever he is, will get a whole lot of pain from me."
