Deadshot

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or its characters. They all belong to Masashi Kishimoto. I do not profit from this work. I merely enjoy writing. Is all.

It was a great day for the assassin. He had been contracted to eliminate the entire Hyūga council and as fate would have it, the entire council was meeting today, in an 'undisclosed location'. He had been crouching at one of the buildings a few blocks from the Hyūga compound, fixing his prototype weapon, consisting of a long barrel for the ammunition to exit, a trigger and a scope (A/N: A sniper rifle, and I'm assuming they don't have it in the Narutoverse). Now that the Hyūga was meeting already, all he needed to do was to aim and fire.

Peering through his scope, he activated his special ability, cocked his weapon and pulled the trigger. With a loud "BANG!", a projectile was sent flying from the muzzle and through the head of one of the Hyūga council members. In quick succession, he had released another few projectiles, killing most of them. He was starting to feel the side effects of his special ability.

Must not give in. Just a couple more! he thought, as he cocked and fired another round. And another. And at last, the council was dead. A lopsided smile appeared on his face as he slung his rifle behind his back.

At that precise moment, 2 masked ninjas – members of ANBU, no doubt – descended upon the assassin. They were planning to arrest him, but it could only be formed in their heads, before the assassin took out two objects they had never seen in their life and then, after the loud sound that emitted from those objects, they felt immense pain from their shoulder and legs.

5 more ANBU descended upon the roof soon after, but all they found were their two injured comrades, and a black bag (A/N: suitcase, but I'm also not sure whether that existed in Narutoverse).

With an exploding tag.

Oh shoot!

The assassin grinned as he heard the explosion. Yet more will come after him.

Naruto and Sakura were walking down the street along with Kakashi-sensei, planning to go for ramen after their training when they had heard a loud explosion from within the village.

"What was that?" the pink-haired kunoichi asked her teammate and sensei. Suddenly, a man dressed entirely in black pushed and knocked Sakura over.

"Out of the way, kid," he said as he leapt from the girl's body. Only he was not going anywhere. The blond has grabbed his ankle and threw him into the wall.

"No one hurts my precious people. Especially not one who calls us kids," Naruto shouted at the man. Kakashi was already next to the man, watching him.

"Darn you kid. No one touches Cross. You'll be my next target," the fallen man smirked, as he pointed his finger at Naruto. He could not do much at that point. ANBU members had appeared, declaring him under arrest for the murder of the Hyūga council and attempted murder of some ANBU.

Shock clearly ran through Naruto's and Kakashi's face. To kill the entire Hyūga council was a reckless and impossible task, yet for this man in front of them to have accomplished such a feat, made him inhuman. Cross laid there with a smile on his face as he looked up at Naruto and the rest of the group.

Suddenly, a puff of smoke engulfed him. ANBU and Kakashi dove into the smoke, trying to restrain the assassin when a scream emitted from within the smoke: "Stop! Stop! Its me!"

It was clearly a voice the blond recognized. When the smoke cleared, ANBU and Kakashi had kunai pinning down a very scared Sakura. This left the whole group in confusion.

Shouts could be heard from behind him, and as Naruto spun around, he saw Kotetsu and Izumo being taken out by a pink haired girl, which in a poof of smoke turned out to be the assassin. As the assassin ran out of Konoha, he gave the party he was fighting a smirk and pointed his mid and index fingers with his thumb sticking out at Naruto, muttering a "BANG!" sound.
