Preface:
It was widely established that there was many Pieces of Eden in the Assassin's Creed universe; however, what was not clear for the first three games was the fact that Ezio's Apple and Altair's apple were two different objects. (Basically speaking, a lot of information that was revealed in Revelations was one big clusterfuck in the Assassin's Creed universe that part 3 and Black Flag never really addressed properly.) Since this idea of doing an Assassin's Creed and Naruto crossover has been jammed into my mindset, it is high time I do one.
This story will operate under the assumption of three proper opinions that will be assumed as fact:
One, there will be multiple pieces of Eden, that much was established in Assassin's Creed lore, but only two apple's, the one that Altair showed off and ultimately hidden away in Revelations, and the other that was under pursuit by Ezio in Assassin's Creed 2.
2. The Animus would not function in the Naruto world properly. Why is that you may ask? The Animus is a modern technological tool. As with all tools of this era, it will require some sort of power to make it work. Since it was clearly established since the first game that the Animus runs on electricity (to power the computer components that are in the machine), AND there is no clear source of electrical power that runs things in Konoha, or anywhere else in the elemental nations for that matter, The Bleeding Effect that one obtains from the animus can't be obtained because there is no power to power the machine.
And finally, Three, I am currently watching a playthrough of Black Flag, (Shoutouts to Youtuber Tetraninja for providing the walkthough in question) so my knowledge of the game could be a bit fuzzy. I have, however, watched to the assassination of Roberts if that is a bit of help to where in the plot I am at. That piece of Eden that is in the game could make its way into the story, but I am not sure when, or even if, it will appear.
With all that settled, let's get on with the story, shall we?

Sanji Himura Presents
A Assassin's Creed/Naruto Crossover
Naruto: Son of Eagles
===========
It was a fuzzy sunrise in Konoha. A fifteen year old boy named Naruto Uzumaki was just waking up for the day when a bird was pecking on the glass that made up his window. Assembling his formal assassin's cloak, this consisted of a black ANBU uniform, with the exception of a proper vest, white over cloak with a hood, and custom fit armor that deflected kunai up to and over thirty feet away. Finally armed with the proper assassin's tools of the trade, he opened the window to retrieve the message that was sent. It was a benefit of being an assassin. He could discern messages by the bird that was sent to greet him in the morning. Eagles were assassination contracts that benefited the non-existent order. To get around that, he had the Hokage to send contracts that the village can't be seen getting its hands dirty, but yet processed anyways for the benefit of the order. Other brown birds that were sent were just simple coded messages that couldn't be intercepted for one reason or another. Doves were conversation starters that could lead to missions for the Assassin depending on the nature of the conversation. The message was simple:
Report to the Hokage's Office – The Hokage
Making sure that the traps work on his public door, he escaped through the ceiling and free running it to the tower. Getting brave, he started to climb the tower by grabbing the windows and small cracks that the architects built into the building.
He reached the window in question and turned on his Eagle Sense. Using Eagle Sense in this condition really takes a bit of energy; however, seeing the person in the room was blue, he opened the window to let himself in.
"Welcome, Orel," The hokage started, "We could have a potential mess on our hands."
"What do you mean," countered Naruto,
"Rumors placed Orochimaru in Grass country three weeks ago and hasn't budged from there since the damiyo gave him protection to start up his Sound Village."
"You and your damn Courtesans, is there anything else that you are not telling me?"
"One more thing, there is a recent uptake of sales of the human nature originating from Wave. So far, my connections are buying the women and children slaves as fast as they could, but the person who is selling them is pretty smart. He is conducting business through middle men and killing people who are not on his trust list. I would have to deal with the situation personally soon to deal with the pest."
"Actually, that is a matter for Konoha as well. I am ordering an assassination on behalf of Konoha, Orel. Take this."
Naruto received a scroll with some information and a white eagle feather. The picture in the scroll is Gatou, a yakzua member and a semi known member of the Slavers, a group that pillage a country through wealth and power. Getting a closer look with his eyes, he spotted a cross-buttoned shirt. 'Templar,' Naruto thought, 'are they really making a power play again after we have been at peace for nearly seven hundred years?'
"You have something on your mind, Orel?"
"It's nothing. I'll prepare my journey for Wave immediately."
"One more thing before you go, Team 7 will be there in Wave. Do not expose yourself to that team. You must operate independent of the ongoing mission, understood Orel?"
"That's understood, Lord Hokage."
"You are dismissed."
Thirty minutes later, Naruto ran into the Demon Brothers, near dead at the side of the road tied to a tree. Exposing his hidden blade, he cut the two loose to prepare to interrogate them and give last rights.
"Why did you free us even though we are dead," Gozu asked in between coughs.
"No man needs to hang like that. Now I need some information since it appears that your boss isn't coming to save you," Orel responded.
"Fuck you man," Meizu yelled, then coughed, "Why should we do anything for you?"
"It's been about three days since you fought, am I right? The poison that the Uchina coated his blades with would run its course and you would have been dead fifty-six hours ago had you not built a resistance to it. Of course, that pompous ass thinks high and mighty of himself to not improve his poisons. Mine, on the other hand, kills in ten seconds upon intake. I could make your death painless."
"Very well," Gozu responded, "Gatou doesn't really operate out of Wave. He claims that he found something in the ruins that is west of Wave on the mainland, and he is raising funds to secure it for himself."
"By selling women and children? Speak sense man!"
"Not just that, it's also material goods as well. He manipulates the judicial system in some manner so that he gets what he wants without hiring thugs to kill the owners."
Suddenly, the two coughed up as Orel spoke up, "That's enough. You've said your peace. Riposa in pace." The Demon Brothers passed on quietly as Orel closes their eyes.
Now knowing what to do, Orel set off for Wave.
