Hello all, I am pleased to see that you all enjoy this story and will try to update it, but I am trying to power through some writer's block on some other fics so this may be delayed as I get through the writer's block piece by piece on the other fics.

Now, to address a few reviewers:

1) For the person who brought up an assassin named Evie, who I believe is from Assassin's Creed Syndicate, I must not have been clear in the first chapter so I will be clear now: I have NOT PLAYED Assassin's Creed Syndicate, I own it, but have not gotten the chance to play it yet. However, should I play it within a reasonable time of this fic being in progress, then I MAY have a way for her to join in on his harem but I know NOTHING about her at the moment so I can't put her into the story blindly as that would take away from her character and possibly the fic since I wouldn't be portraying her correctly.

2) For the next person that I need to address that asked about Russia and India, the answer is yes, he did go to those locations but I was unable to play those games so I will not be able to cover those specific incidents, but there will be incidents that happened there at different times that Naruto was a part of: Fall of Stalin, the Czars, the Soviet Union, Napoleon's march, etc. etc.

3) While I will give there are a few clichés in this fic, they are classified as clichés because people use them quite a bit, and we use them quite a bit because they give the character more depth, pain, motivations, and spirit/skill in many matters. While there may be more clichés later on, they do work with the story and I don't use them for the sake of using them and I don't use them every fic.

4) Yes, I know you all wanted to see the Assassin's Creed world, but as I stated in Chapter 1: I would either have 20 something chapters before he returned or I wouldn't do them justice. Doing it this way, (i.e. flashbacks, Naruto telling his tale, and Naruto reminiscing) gives me him coming back sooner and being able to cover the time away better.

5) Not sure how this was unclear, but yes, Tsunami is in his harem as is Haku.

6) The reason for no Hinata is because I try to switch out who I have with Naruto and who I don't and currently I have two Naruto fics with her being with Naruto, and one where she isn't. This is going to be one of the nots as I wanted to do something people rarely do, which is also something I am doing in other fics later on, and will be giving reasons for why she stutters, blushes, and everything around Naruto besides having a crush on him. I have NOTHING against Hinata, I think she is sexy and cute though I do see some of the reasons why people don't like her, but (and this is not aimed at anyone who does this) I don't want to use any woman from Naruto in every Naruto fic I do regardless of who they are as it can get repetitive and stale after a while. While I will have some of the same relationships in multiple fics, I alter the relationship slightly in some way to somewhat diversify what I am doing and how I am doing it. But yeah, NOTHING against Hinata at all, just don't want to use her again… yet.

Now onto other things, you will see people I plan to bash in this, but I do not have all of them picked as I try to differentiate who I bash in each fic. An example, I bash Hiruzen and Danzo in my Prince of Death Fic, but I don't in NOG, while I bash Danzo and not Hiruzen in my World 1 story. I try to change it up at times even if it is only slightly as I don't want to get repetitive in doing it over and over again and at times I will start a bash then redeem the character later on so I do both in one fic.

Also, someone asked if I was giving Naruto older women for his harem… well… technically no, I am not since Naruto is older than every woman in the Naruto Universe except maybe Kaguya so technically Naruto is only getting younger women for himself since he is 870 years old and none of the women, except Kaguya, are even in their 70s.

Lastly, I am adding two girls not from Naruto nor from Assassin's Creed to this that will be in Naruto's harem as one will be Tenten's mother, as her parents are never mentioned, and another will be the confidant to another of Naruto's girls, who has not come into the story yet, and I'm counting this chapter in that statement.

WARNING! Naruto will be extremely powerful in this where only some members of the Akatsuki could hope to take him on and I believe I have done it in a way for it to be believable. The reasons for this were made clear last chapter and if you can't find where it was… then I'm not talking to you anymore. I am putting this warning now so no one will complain about being overpowered as the story goes.

Now that that's settled, let's start the show shall we?

Disclaimer: You know the drill; I don't own Naruto or anything but a few ideas, attacks, and maybe some characters. If I owned Naruto, he'd have known how to use his potential at a young age.

Chapter 2: Catching Up

LAST TIME

Haku nodded before she moved and Naruto did a fire jutsu on Deidara's body and sealed the puppet body of Sasori into a scroll and stood by Gaara just as three, and a partial, teams from Konoha and a battalion from Suna came and landed around them and could tell they were confused about what happened, "It seems that your so called rescue has come a bit late, eh Gaara?" Naruto stated with Haku giggling slightly and Gaara cracking a smile.

"It would seem so, my friend." Gaara stated surprising the arrivals since Gaara hardly called anyone his friend, "Stand down all of you, they saved me from the Akatsuki and I will not have anyone attacking them." Gaara ordered and the Suna ninja stood down with the Konoha ones doing so a minute or so later, "Please, I would love to catch up with you in Suna." Gaara offered and Naruto stood there a moment before nodding while Kankurō spoke up.

"Gaara, are you sure you can trust him? And what happened to the two Akatsuki members?" He asked and Gaara looked to his brother before looking to Naruto who held up a scroll in his hand and pointed to the little bit of ash and the remnants of the puppet that Sasori was in when Naruto threw the bomb at him, "You mean he took them both down?!" He asked in shock while everyone else widened their eyes in shock and surprise, while a certain banshee had her eyes narrowed on Haku as she felt she recognized her from somewhere.

Gaara nodded, "Yes, and as for how I know I can trust him, he is a very good friend of mine and someone I would call brother." He stated while most were surprised and a few were shocked since they knew of only one person Gaara would call brother, "I think you should introduce yourself as it would allow us to talk face to face on the way back to Suna." Gaara stated and Naruto chuckled slightly.

"Very well Gaara." Naruto stated as he pulled his hood back and then removed his mask nearly giving everyone a heart attack as he looked like his father, while almost every girl/woman there had blushes on their faces, "My name is Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze and I am an Assassin." Naruto stated as everyone's shock grew and Naruto knew this was going to be a long day and probably even more than that once word got back to Tsunade.

NOW

Everyone, but Gaara and Haku, stared in shock at Naruto being back and apparently older, scarred, and armed and possessing, from what many that could identify it, experience. Naruto gazed at the different reactions intently and read them, most were surprised, Sakura was upset, Kakashi seemed irritated, the other rookies and team Guy seemed happy he was back, and Ino, Tenten, Kurenai, and Temari were all blushing at the sight of him, which didn't surprise him as many women over the centuries had hit on him and he had, on more than one occasion, graciously 'educated' a few women that served under some of the Courtesan madams that needed some form of aid in a few areas and had been graciously rewarded by said madams.

Breaking from his thoughts he turned back to Gaara only to pause as a hand was on his shoulder, "Naruto Uzumaki, you are to be taken back to Konoha to be tried for desertion." Kakashi stated shocking everyone and Naruto raised his hand at Haku to stop her before turning to Kakashi and, in a swift motion, he had twisted Kakashi's arm almost out of socket and slammed him onto the ground shocking everyone watching and Naruto held his arm in a grip.

"You would be wise not to try that again, Hatake. I have more experience than you do and I have trained far longer now." He stated getting surprised looks that he didn't call Kakashi his sensei and confused looks at his statements, "Further, Gaara has the authority here since we are in Wind Country borders so trying such a thing when he has ordered you to stand down would fall under treason and traitorous actions and risk the breaking of the treaty between Suna and Konoha. A treaty, I remind you, that I solidified when I defeated Gaara and made him see how precious people were better than being alone… despite you falsifying the report and saying Sasuke defeated him." Naruto stated and Kakashi growled as he tried to get free while the others were shocked and Sakura attempted to interfere and shout before a glare from Naruto shut her up as it was ice cold and deadly looking.

"I don't care what you say; I will never acknowledge nor believe you were able to defeat the Shukaku Jinchuriki." Kakashi stated as he couldn't believe that Naruto was holding him in place with such little effort as his arm felt like it was in a vice grip. He frowned as Naruto chuckled slightly.

"And that is why you are an idiot. You see, Pakkun was there to witness it and didn't know you falsified the report just to get a shot at me and praise Sasuke." He stated with a smirk and Kakashi felt a cold chill go down his spine, "However, that changed a some time ago when I summoned Gamakichi and then asked him to bring Pakkun with him before I explained what you did and how things went down. Needless to say, Pakkun was very unhappy with how you did things, especially when Gamakichi told him what Jiraiya told the toads you said about me when I disappeared, and guess what he did." Naruto stated with a bit of a grin and Kakashi frowned as he looked at him, "He broke the contract with you and made a new one with me while giving me permission to give the contract anyone that I deem worthy." Naruto stated and Kakashi widened his eye along with everyone else while Kakashi struggled slightly before Naruto put his foot on his shoulder pinning him.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot that I owe you a couple of things." Naruto stated before he snapped Kakashi's thumb and wrist making him groan and people to widen their eyes, "That was for neglecting me as a student." Naruto stated before he then snapped Kakashi's elbow getting a pained moan from him, "That was from my father." He stated making several people to widen their eyes and then Naruto snapped Kakashi's arm at the shoulder getting a pained scream from him, "And that, that was from my mother, Kaka-kun." Naruto stated and everyone widened their eyes while Kakashi stiffened knowing only one person called him that and she was dead before Naruto could know about it causing him to stare at Naruto in shock and Naruto to smirk, "Yeah, I know all about them and they were VERY pissed at you when they found out and my father denounced you as his student for it." He stated making even more people widen their eyes before Naruto put his hand to Kakashi's head and it glowed gold for a minute before he removed his hand.

"What-what did you do to me?" Kakashi asked fearfully wondering if something was going to kill him or worse and Naruto snorted before he released Kakashi and stood straight while dusting his hands and fixing his coat.

"I took all knowledge of my father's jutsu from you, you know the one that you and he never finished and then you made that cheap imitation known as the Chidori." Naruto stated and Kakashi widened his eye at Naruto in rage, "Heh, my father ordered me to as penance for you for not following his teachings and he even gave me another order, but it is of no concern of yours unless you piss me off." He stated before pausing for a moment and turned to the others, "Pardon my language ladies." He stated making them, minus Sakura, smile and nod in thanks before Naruto moved towards Gaara, but paused as he heard footsteps from behind him and turned to see Hinata there and his eyes softened. He turned fully as she approached and stood in front of him and he smiled as he cupped her cheek, "You've grown beautiful, Imouto."

He stated shocking everyone before Hinata began crying and lunged into his chest in a hug, "Niisan!" She shouted as she buried her head into his chest and he chuckled slightly as he stroked her back and hair while several were wondering what the hell was going on.

"It's alright Imouto, it's really me." Naruto stated as he stroked her back before he kissed her forehead, "We'll catch up later." He stated and she nodded before he walked to Gaara and motioned towards Suna, "Shall we?" He asked and Gaara nodded while Naruto bit his thumb and dabbed some blood on a seal at his sleeve and a hawk appeared before Naruto scribbled something and tied it to the hawk's leg, {Fly to Wave Country, my friend. Give my allies this message and wait there}. Naruto stated in a language none of those around him understood before the hawk flew off. Naruto watched him fly above the clouds before turning to Gaara and walked beside his brother figure with Haku following closely and Hinata walking beside him before the others began following them, while Sakura began working on Kakashi.

"Forgive me Naruto, but I was under the impression that Hinata Hyuga had a crush on you." Gaara stated and Naruto raised an eyebrow along with Hinata before they both turned to each other in confusion and then looked back at Gaara.

"That's nonsense, she is my Imouto. Has been since we were around five, I don't know what gave you the idea that she liked me in that way." He stated and Hinata nodded while everyone else deadpanned at them.

"The fact she would stutter and blush around you at every opportunity, that she followed you around constantly, and that she would get nervous around you every time." A few people stated and Naruto and Hinata raised their eyebrows and blinked before Naruto made an 'OH' face.

"That's right; you all wouldn't know the details of that would you?" He stated causing many to frown, "You guys, this is a big misunderstanding: She stuttered and blushed around me because she was afraid and embarrassed that I would tease her about the guy she liked since I did it all the time, she was nervous all the time because I told her if she tried to do anything to embarrass me then I would tell the guy she liked that she did in fact like him, and she followed me because she wanted to be sure there was someone to get the trustworthy Anbu and that there was a reliable witness in case any of the villagers were bastards to me. Oops, sorry again ladies." He explained and apologized with many widening their eyes in shock, while the women were again thankful to him. Naruto then turned to Gaara, "So is this professional or personal discussion, Kazekage-sama?"

He asked and many were surprised that he suddenly sounded and acted professionally and Gaara raised his eyebrow in confusion, "Why did you suddenly change how you addressed me?" He asked and the others listened in and Naruto chuckled slightly.

"I have matured since I was gone, while I will treat you as my brother in a personal setting, in a professional setting I will give you the respect you have earned and deserved of your station. This didn't apply to Kakashi because he has no standing or station in my eyes and he was aggressive towards me for no reason." He stated and many were impressed and surprised by his response and Gaara nodded since he could understand and relate to that as his siblings were the same way in switching between how they addressed him depending on professional or personal matters.

"I see, well this is personal as I wish to catch up with my oldest friend." Gaara stated and everyone saw Naruto's stance and walk change to that of someone completely relaxed, "I don't suppose you could begin telling me about your time away?" Gaara asked and Naruto smiled slightly as he thought back feeling the desert air around him: The heat, the smell and feel of the sand, the harsh winds that did little to help the latter two items, and the ability for the sand to hide all forms of horror and blood, all of this reminded him of his time in the Holy Lands and one memory struck him first.

Flashback: Holy Lands: 10 years after Naruto's arrival

Naruto cut down another Ayyubid soldier while Altaïr cut down another Crusader. It was almost funny when he thought about it; the two factions hated each other, but when faced with one of the brotherhood they would join forces against them until they were dead and then agree to separate on common ground and then fight later on. It was almost laughable that the desire to kill the assassins could make a truce between two warring factions.

Breaking from his thoughts, Naruto blocked an overhead strike from a Templar before he rammed his Hidden Blade into his jugular before turning and throwing three knives into a few more soldiers' necks just before the rest took off running. Naruto recollected his blades and cleaned his weapons as Altaïr did the same, "I still do not understand why Al Mualim decided to send me on this mission as part of my penance." Altaïr complained and Naruto sighed.

"Brother, you broke all three tenants of the Creed in the span of 5 minutes; did you truly believe that you were above such a crime?" Naruto asked and Altaïr opened his mouth to argue but found he had none, which made Naruto smile inwardly as this was their second trip to Jerusalem in Altaïr's mission of redemption after the fiasco at Solomon's temple, "Exactly, you let your fame, prestige, and glory go to your head and endangered the lives of your brothers simply because you became arrogant in your abilities and beliefs that you were unmatched. That gave Robert de Sable the opening he needed to exploit and led to the death of Malik's brother." Naruto stated and Altaïr lowered his head in thought and Naruto sighed, "You never even bothered to apologize to Malik for what happened. You need to learn a lesson Altaïr; that rank means nothing in life as a single stroke of a blade can undo all of that and make you no better than a commoner that has never even known something such as honor."

Naruto continued and Altaïr sighed and lowered his head at Naruto, the only man that was ever honest with him about everything, still stood up for him after Solomon's temple, was the one who convinced Al Mualim to give him his second chance and allow Naruto to come with him, "You are… right Naruto, I was headstrong and prideful in my gaining such a high rank at such a young age. I have dishonored many in my actions and it was even worse as I had led Sable to our door while also costing Malik much in the process. I have much to answer for and I suppose I just needed someone to confront me about it as an equal to make me see it." Altaïr stated as he walked beside Naruto since their horses had run off during the fighting.

Naruto nodded, "There is still plenty of time for you to grow and learn brother. A child is the easiest to teach, but a man knows what to do with what he learns." Naruto stated and Altaïr nodded, "While you cannot begin to repay Malik for his loss, you can show that you are not the same man that was responsible for it and that you are truly regretful for what you did." Naruto stated as Altaïr nodded to his words in thanks, "Now come, we should try to make it to the next village before more patrols come. We could handle them, but that wouldn't exactly be stealthy now would it?" Naruto stated and Altaïr cracked a small smile before the two began moving faster towards Jerusalem with Altaïr thinking about how he would apologize to Malik, even if he wouldn't accept it Altaïr had to at least let him know that he was indeed sorry for it.

Flashback End

Naruto broke from his thoughts as he noticed Gaara looking at him and Naruto smiled slightly, "Sorry, I got lost in my memories for a moment there." Naruto stated as he remembered his time with Altaïr as he was actually set to be promoted before him, but Naruto had shocked the Brotherhood, and his internal guests, and made history by turning down the advancement and stating he still had much to learn and more things to experience before he was ready to take the next rank, "As to your question, I would be glad to tell you, but not in front of people I do not trust." Naruto stated making a few people raise their eyebrows in curiosity.

"I can promise you Naruto, my people won't…" Gaara began to say before Naruto shook his head at him stopping him.

"I do not doubt your people Gaara, but there is a lot to say and tell and not everyone needs to hear it and the statement was more towards most of the Konoha shinobi behind me." He stated shocking everyone with his statement and Gaara frowned.

"I see, I thought they were your friends and allies, but I suppose seeing as you didn't have the defenses I had, that you may not be as trusting of some." Gaara stated making a few of his people widen their eyes as they knew what Gaara was referring to.

Naruto scoffed slightly, "Out of everyone behind me from Konoha, and those still in Konoha, the only ones that I would trust are Hinata, Shino, Iruka, Konohamaru, Udon, Moegi, Choji, Shikamaru, Shizune, Yugao, and Team Guy and I can tolerate Jiraiya and Tsunade till I confirm some things. Everyone else is not on my friendly list since all they did was belittle me, hunt me, beat me, starve me, attempt to kill me, denounce my dream, mock my goals, mock my ideals, or state that I was lying about my achievements since they were adamant in believing Sasuke had actually been the one to achieve them when everyone knew he didn't. While Neji was among them, that changed after I beat some sense into him."

Neji absentmindedly rubbed his jaw as he remembered that left hook that Naruto gave him in the Chunin Exams, "So no, none of those people are on my list of people I trust and the list is actually much shorter than it was before I left since I have little doubt the Council has been bragging about why they hated and abused me to people and thus everyone behind me knows why I was hated and shunned though it's doubtful that they revealed who my parents were since that would turn a large portion of the village against them for acting as they did. Not that it matters anyway, since I have little to no intention of ever setting foot in that village so long as I live if I can help it and I have no problems with killing or breaking anyone who tries to make me go back." Naruto stated making everyone become shocked, while a few of the Konoha shinobi looked down in shame, and Gaara frowned before nodding.

"I see, I won't break the alliance treaty unless you ask me to since, as you correctly stated, you are the sole reason we tried to renew the treaty and I wish you to know that I, and anyone willing to follow me, will support and help you no matter what and you will always be welcome in Suna so long as I am Kage." Gaara stated making his people shocked, though they nodded, and made the Konoha nin pale slightly and sweat since if Suna left, then Wave, Snow, and Waterfall may leave too.

Naruto smiled at his friend, "Thank you Gaara, I don't wish for you to break the treaty just yet since there are at least six people in Konoha that I care about and wouldn't want them harmed should another village get bold and try to sack the village." He stated before noticing that a few girls were looking at Haku and so were some males and Gaara flicked his eyes over before turning back to him, "She is an ally and apprentice of mine that I met way back and recently found again and I must warn you that I will break anyone who attempts to harm her… if she doesn't do so herself."

He stated and Gaara nodded, "I understand. Is 'why you called yourself an Assassin' a question that can be asked now?" Gaara asked while both he and Naruto knew a certain old woman was staring at Naruto for quite some time.

Naruto smiled, "It's because I was trained by several master assassins and trained quite a few myself over the years. I know many methods of combat, weapon styles, Taijutsu styles, and much more have been added to my list of skills and I have earned every bit of it." He stated while signing to Gaara in Anbu code, 'Kyubi is not to be brought up now.' Gaara gave a nod to him making it seem like he was nodding to the answer. However, Temari saw it and frowned before she decided to ask about it later.

"I see, well I am glad that you have only grown in your time away. However, I trust you know that Tsunade-sama will need to be informed of this development?" Gaara stated then asked and Naruto nodded his head since it would look bad on Gaara's part if he didn't report this.

"I understand, which is why I'll be sending my own letter to her when you send yours as I know she'll probably try to come here to convince me to go back to the village." He stated as he kept walking with Gaara before he thought for a moment, "Hey Kankurō." Naruto called and said middle child of the Subaku children looked to him, "Once I collect the bounty on Sasori, you can have his puppet body to use." He stated getting a raised eyebrow from Kankurō and Naruto chuckled, "He apparently turned his body into a living puppet, so there is no telling the different secrets he attached to his body and what may benefit Suna with their puppetry." He stated and Kankurō widened his eyes before smirking.

"Sweet, thanks kid." He stated causing Naruto to snort in laughter making people raise an eyebrow in confusion.

"What was so funny Naruto?" Gaara asked with confusion clear on his face and Naruto chuckled lightly as if there was some great joke going on that they didn't know about.

"I'll tell you back in Suna, though you will probably have a laugh afterwards." Naruto stated before he turned to the older woman of the Suna nin, "If you try something in retaliation for what I did to your relative then I will not hesitate to kill you. He had no respect for the dead since I could sense another puppet within him and I think it was someone from Suna." Naruto warned as his Uzumaki sensor abilities let him know that she felt sadness and pain from knowing Sasori was dead.

The woman widened her eyes slightly before sighing and nodding causing Naruto to smile in appreciation before Gaara turned to Hinata, "If you don't mind me asking, how did you all get here so quickly?" He asked curiously and Hinata smiled as she looked to Naruto then to Gaara.

"We came at our top speed when we heard you were in danger since we knew you were Naruto-Niisan's friend and brother. Though, a certain banshee and cyclops wanted to take our time since there was no real rush." Hinata stated as Naruto patted her head slightly making her pout a little before they all glared slightly at Sakura and Kakashi who humphed and seemed uncaring. Naruto chuckled at his Imouto pouting before he and the others focused on heading to Suna…well, except four females as they were thinking about Naruto as they walked.

Naruto then paused in thought a moment, "Angel-chan, are you doing alright? This is your first time in this type of terrain and heat." Naruto asked Haku as he didn't wish to use her name, especially in front of Sakura and Kakashi. Haku smiled behind her mask and nodded her head.

"Yes Mentor. I am alright, your lessons on some items regarding this type of terrain are being used the best of my ability right now." She stated as he had explained to her that she should call him Mentor in public as master would give people like Sakura or Jiraiya the wrong impression… or would it be the right one?

Naruto smiled and nodded, "Good, the last thing I want is for my student to pass out from heat exhaustion." He stated with a smile that made some of the girls blush and many to be surprised he had a student before he remembered something, "Ah, and I believe I have a weapon picked out for you when we arrive at Suna since it should fit your fighting style." Naruto stated and Haku nodded while a few became interested in what kind of teacher Naruto was and Tenten was curious in the weapon that he felt the mystery girl could use. Naruto then noticed Gaara looking at him with a raised eyebrow, "Mentor is half of a title I gained while I was away, the people who gave it to me considered it an immense honor and station since the ones who possessed it were responsible for the very teachings and foundations of the Assassins that I both trained under, trained, and trained with." Naruto explained and Gaara nodded while many were curious in his abilities since the way he spoke made it seem that 'Angel' wasn't his first student and were skeptical since he had only been gone five years so how many people could he have possibly trained? However, any further discussions were cut short as Suna came into view in the distance.

Konoha: Hokage Tower: An hour later

Tsunade sighed as she sat in the office and stared out the window, it had been five years since Naruto had vanished and it had nearly broken her, which she channeled into nearly breaking Kakashi with Jiraiya's and Shizune's help, as she realized she cared for him, but not as she did for anyone else. She cared for him more than Nawaki or Dan, but she didn't know to what extent other than her heart hurt when she found out he was gone. Kakashi had been demoted to Chunin and sent on only D Ranks, except the Gaara incident because Itachi might be there, and he wasn't the only one that suffered either, Sakura had been rejected as her apprentice though that didn't stop the brat from being able to learn Medical Jutsu and make a much weaker version of Tsunade's strength technique, there had been a series of executions after she told the Fire Daimyo about Naruto and what happened to him since the current Fire Daimyo was friends with Minato and Kushina, the Council had been stripped bare of any power they had and the Fire Daimyo restored the laws to what they should have been and not what the Council wanted, and the village was on notice that they were a hair's breath away from being liquidated if anything else happened. Though they had one way to get back, if they could get a prominent individual or a village to vouch for them then he would increase the budget and give them a bit of breathing room. As of yet, none had done so.

Beyond punishments, there had been some issues as Iruka had thrown himself into training Konohamaru and his friends alongside Ebisu, and making sport of breaking anyone who dared to speak ill of Naruto; Hinata had attacked anyone that insulted him with Neji, Lee, and Tenten helping; Tenten, Ino, Moegi, and surprisingly Hanabi had been slightly depressed since he vanished as they apparently had gained a bit of a crush on the blonde; the Spring Daimyo, Gaara, the Kage of Waterfall, and Wave country almost broke their treaties and everything when they learned Naruto's own Sensei had abandoned him to go after a traitor instead and it reflected poorly on Konoha and it was only the Fire Daimyo straightening out Konoha that they didn't break the treaties; Ayame Ichiraku and, surprisingly, Hana Inuzuka had been wrecks as they were actually going to ask Naruto on a date after the mission; Anko had been somewhat depressed since she felt she lost the one person who would understand her in the village; Yugao had been saddened since she had watched over the boy when he was younger and had gotten somewhat attached to him and did find him cute.

Her thoughts were broken as Shizune came in with a letter and was then confused as an eagle tapped on her window. She got up and took the letter from the eagle before it flew away and she looked at the letters and saw one was from Suna and the other had a strange triangle on it before she began reading the letter that Shizune had before her eyes widened as tears began going down her face, "Lady Tsunade?" Shizune asked concerned before she saw the beaming smile on her master's face before Tsunade read the letter out loud to her, Dear Hokage-sama, I am pleased to inform you that my rescue was successful, but not in the way you are thinking. A certain someone interfered on my behalf and killed the two Akatsuki members that attacked me. He is someone that I call brother and is the reason why our two villages has an alliance in the first place. He has sent you a letter via one of his own birds and has requested that you read it before you make any decisions since he does not wish to return to Konoha presently and believes you will come to talk him into it.

Sincerely, Gaara Subaku, the Kazekage of Suna

Tsunade smiled as Shizune did as well with tears going down her face before Tsunade took the letter from Naruto and read it out loud, Hokage-sama, sorry if you wanted me to call you baa-chan but I can't for reasons I may tell you later, I am writing this letter to inform you that I will be staying in Suna for the next week and a half to catch up with Gaara, but I have no intentions of returning to Konoha at this time. However, should you, Ero- Sannin, and anyone else trustworthy wish to come and try and convince me then I will not mind, but you MUST have the Fire Daimyo take over in your absence or you risk Danzo and the other bastards, pardon my language, trying to usurp you again, I heard from my sources that he cleaned up some things, though it should have been you to do it, and I am not even going to consider going to Konoha if they have had a chance to screw me over again, again I apologize for my language. You have a week and a half to get the Fire Daimyo to take control of the village and get to Suna or I WILL leave and you will be hard pressed to find me again without me wishing you to do so. I am sorry if this is not the same Naruto you remember, but much has happened while I was away and this letter would be hundreds of pages long if I were to tell you it all. I will not tell you everything should you come, but I will tell you some things about what has happened about my life since I've been gone.

Sincerely, Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze

P.S. Yes, I know who my parents are and I'm not mad at you or Ero-Sannin for not telling me, but you do have a few things to answer for.

She read and with some tears still falling before she looked to Shizune, "Shizune, get me Jiraiya, Yugao, and Anko then send a message to the Fire Daimyo telling him that he is needed inside the village immediately to discuss a new development on our search." Tsunade ordered and Shizune happily nodded and went to do as she was told. Tsunade sat back in her chair with a small smile on her face, "Naruto, I swear we'll make it up to you." She thought as she waited a few minutes before the others came in and they all stood before her with confused and worried expressions since they could see she had been crying, "Good, you're all here. I need you all ready to go to Suna as soon as the Fire Daimyo gets here." She stated and they frowned in confusion before Jiraiya spoke.

"Tsunade, why are we going to Suna and why do we need to wait for the Fire Daimyo?" He asked and the others nodded before noticing Shizune and Tsunade smiling happily with glint in their eyes that they hadn't seen in years.

"We are waiting for the Fire Daimyo as we are going to ensure the Councils do not try anything while we are gone." She explained making them nod their heads before she had a beaming smile, "The reason we are going to Suna, is because a certain someone has reappeared after being gone for five years." She stated making their eyes widen before Tsunade threw a book just passed Jiraiya's head when he made a move for the window, "Don't even think about it Jiraiya! I want to see him soon too, which is why the minute the Fire Daimyo is here and we give him the situation, you're calling the toads to get us there since he's only staying there for a week and a half before he says he'll leave. We have to go since he is letting us see him as he wants nothing to do with Konoha at the moment, but he wants some answers on a few things since he knows who his parents are." She stated and Jiraiya froze in shock before nodding with a serious look on his face even as tears went down his face in happiness while the others reciprocated it even if Anko only had one lone tear down her cheek, "I want you all ready to go at a moment's notice as we'll be leaving the moment the Fire Daimyo has been informed of what is going on." She ordered and they nodded eagerly before they all left to ensure they were ready with Jiraiya giving her a look stating he promised to wait.

At Suna: A few hours later

Naruto stood with Haku in one of the training fields as Gaara had to play politician with the Council and ensure no one was encroaching on his borders once word got out that he was captured and he had to get the funds together to pay Naruto for the two kills since he doubted Iwa would pay for Deidara. As Naruto stood there, he was fully aware of some audience members and looked at Haku, "Alright Angel-chan, I believe I have a weapon that will suit you and your former teacher's legacy for you and I expect you to treat what I am about to give with respect." He stated and Haku nodded her head in understanding as the weapon must be important to him and she would treasure it, both because it was important to him and because he was giving it to her, "Good."

He stated before he produced the weapon. It was a sword that was shorter than a katana and was curved more than one, the pommel was a rolled up ball of wood and had two metal pieces coming out for a hand guard, the blade had designs and words on it that she didn't recognize, and the top of the blade to about an inch down was thicker than the rest of the blade, "This is a Kilij, specifically one that belonged to a dear friend of mine named Yusuf who died in combat. The blade is fast, light, lethal, and is just as good at cutting as the Katana. The curve gives it good hacking and slashing power, the weighted tip gives it more cutting power, and the handle is stylized to let it go well in the hand and let a person use it effectively. It should fit your natural grace and speed perfectly. I want you to treasure this blade, Angel-chan, as not only did it belong to Yusuf, but it was then taken up by a student and brother of mine named Ezio and he treated it with the respect it deserved and I expect you to do the same."

Naruto stated and Haku nodded before carefully taking the blade and inspecting it in her hands before she placed it in the sash of her battle kimono and bowed to Naruto, "I promise I will respect it and treasure it, Mentor." She stated and he smiled before he began affectionately rubbing her face over mask making her blush under her mask before she began tracing his scars on his face, "Naruto-kun, will you tell me about how you got hurt and why you hide yourself from me and Nami-chan?" She asked as Naruto didn't want anyone else knowing about Tsunami and them just yet and Naruto sighed while sensing the audience was confused by her words.

"It's not that I don't want to, it's that I know you will not like what you see." He stated and could sense Haku's confusion, "Where I was… it wasn't a peaceful place most of the time and even my healing abilities have their limitations." He stated and Haku began to understand, wherever Naruto had gone was a place of fighting and he had used his healing powers too much at times and thus had the marks to show it, "If you want to see, then I will oblige, just remember that I only didn't want to show you yet because I knew it would hurt you." He stated and she nodded before Naruto waved to the others and he and Haku vanished from view and reappeared in the hotel room Gaara had set up for them. Naruto sighed slightly as he removed his coat and armor pieces before doing so with the weapons he had on him and turned his back to Haku before he removed his shirt and heard Haku gasp.

Haku could only watch in partial horror and sympathy as she saw Naruto's back covered in different scars of cuts, burns, bullet wounds; as Naruto showed her what one of his guns did to a target; and more and the same was for his chest and arms and she could assume his legs as well. She tentatively walked up and traced his scars with her fingers easily being able to tell that these would have crippled if not killed a lesser man as he had bullet marks through where a kidney, his liver, and left ventricle would be, his right shoulder sported a large scar that showed he took some form of weapon down on and into his right shoulder to the point the arm would be dangling uselessly next to him if gravity didn't make it detach itself from his body from the lack of connective tissue. The left arm had scars of a few places that led her to believe some shrapnel or a compound fracture broke the skin.

As her fingers went over his ribs, she could feel masses on the bone from where they had broken and healed more than once, parts showed that they were most likely due to torture from the size of the wounds and their positioning, and she could only imagine the internal trauma he must have. Haku instinctively hugged him as tears came down her face, while a part of her noted how warm he was, as she could only imagine the wounds he had taken that healed and Naruto returned the hug and stroked her back, "How? How could you have taken all of this in only 5 years?"

She asked through her light sobs and Naruto sighed as he sat on the bed and pulled her to his lap, "When I disappeared, I met two beings that helped me unlock an old bloodline that stops me from aging and I won't die except being killed. Everyone here only experienced five years, I experienced 858 years. For over 8 centuries I fought and bled to protect others in a world that wasn't even my own and some of these scars are doubles that were reopened from another enemy." He stated and she looked up at him with wide eyes as he removed her mask, "That's why I told you and Nami-chan that I had to tell you things before this could go anywhere, I'm almost 900 years old and I wanted you guys to know that I am me, but I am not a child anymore either. It is also possible for me to pass my bloodline to any loves I gain, but I want anyone I am with to make that decision for themselves since they will have to accept that others they know will age and wither away while we stay." He stated and Haku smiled and hugged him tighter as more tears came from her eyes.

"I will stay with you forever Naruto-kun, both as your tool and maybe one day your love too." She stated with a blush and Naruto smiled and kissed her lightly on the lips before cupping her cheek lovingly.

"Thank you Haku-chan, I do care about you but I don't know if it is love yet and I refuse to say it if I don't know I mean it." He stated and Haku nodded happily while snuggling into his chest already deciding he wasn't sleeping in a shirt again if she could help it.

Their thoughts were then broken by a knock at the door, "Naruto-kun, Gaara is ready to see you." They heard Temari say through the door and both blinked before looking at each other and smirking since it appeared that Temari had a bit of a crush on Naruto if it wasn't something more since she hadn't called him kun before.

"Thank you Temari-chan, I'll be there shortly." He stated she gave a confirmation before he felt her move away from the door and go downstairs where she waited in the lobby. Naruto turned back to Haku and kissed her head, "Shall we, Angel-chan?" He asked and she nodded before he set her down and dawned his clothes again while she put her mask back on before they went downstairs and walked with Temari to the Kage tower, "So how have you been Temari-chan?" He asked to begin conversation and she blushed lightly at the chan and smiled.

"I am well Naruto-kun and thank you for not insinuating that I am dating Shikamaru." She stated with the blush still present and Naruto raised an eyebrow at her.

"Why would I? Just because the two of you fought in the Chunin exams and are both strategists doesn't mean that you two are interested in the other." He stated with her smiling slightly and it only increased when he added, "That would be like saying you and I are dating just because we both have blond hair and have a wind affinity." He stated and she giggled with a nod.

"True, but I didn't know you had a wind affinity." She stated with some curiosity in her voice and Naruto chuckled.

"It is my primary affinity, but I have others as well and plenty of experience in it. Perhaps I could show you how to advance your own sometime." He stated and Temari grew curious while having a smile on her face.

"Perhaps you could." She stated before they entered the tower and went to Gaara's office and sat in the chair across from him and Haku sat beside Naruto while Temari stood by Gaara. Naruto gazed around the room pausing over each ninja hidden in the shadows and then turning to Gaara before his hand glowed and a bubbled formed over them making his three friends and the onlookers widen their eyes before Naruto turned to Gaara.

"I don't want unnecessary people to hear or try to read our lips while we talk." He stated and the three nodded before Naruto turned to Haku and she removed her mask, "This is my apprentice, and one of my two girlfriends, Haku." Naruto stated and Gaara blinked slightly while Temari did as well.

"Forgive me, Naruto, but is this the same Haku you told me was dead?" Gaara stated while Temari was focusing on the part about two girlfriends. Naruto surprised them both by nodding.

"Yes, due to reasons that I will explain, I was able to bring her back and put her at the appropriate age for if she hadn't died and began training her before she and a woman named Tsunami, who was the daughter of my team's client when we went to Wave, were then told by me that due to my being the only known surviving member of two clans, and a promise to my mother, that I could and possibly would take more than one girl as my wife but only if they could accept that. I may take after my Sannin sensei in a way, but I only do it in a way that still respects women and would never ask them to do something they aren't comfortable with." Naruto stated as he saw Temari twitch slightly before he explained his reason for possibly taking more than one wife and he vaguely heard Gaara ask about his mother, "Kushina Uzumaki, the people that sent me away for a time made it so I could talk and train under both her and my father, Minato Namikaze, along with Kyubi until the seal eventually finished them off and the promise to her was that I would give her lots of grandkids." He stated making the two widen their eyes while Haku and Temari blushed at the thought of having his kids and Gaara gained a smile.

"I see, Naruto, I would like to propose a marriage contract between you and my sister." He stated getting wide eyes from all three, "Before you begin objecting, I am not doing this simply for political reasons. Temari has had a bit of a crush on you since we last saw you and I know she wouldn't mind getting a shot at being with you and there is also the fact you are the only man that I know I could definitely trust to care, protect, and treasure her like she deserves." Gaara stated and Naruto sighed before he closed his eyes in thought while Haku seemed relaxed somewhat and Temari was blushing and hopeful.

After a minute or so, Naruto opened his eyes and looked to his brother figure, "I will accept on three conditions." He stated and the three began listening closely as Gaara motioned for him to speak, "First, this is to be left open and can be fulfilled down the road as I would like to get to know Temari better and actually be able to say that I love her truthfully and not just say it because I feel like I should." He stated and both Gaara and Temari nodded, while both Temari and Haku had smiles on their faces at Naruto being caring, "Second, if Temari changes her mind or we both mutually decide it will not work, then this contract is null and void with no drawbacks to either party as I refuse to make Temari marry me if she decides that she is not in love with me and/or gains feelings for another." Again Gaara nodded and the two females smiled only Gaara joined them this time, "And third, Temari is under no obligation to live with me even if the contract is fulfilled. I do not know where I will live, but if she wishes to stay in Suna and I cannot commit to doing so then she is free to stay and we will work it out from there." He finished and Gaara smiled a real smile and nodded while Temari was mentally jumping for joy.

"That is more than acceptable, Naruto, and I will gladly accept those terms." He stated and Naruto smiled before standing and approaching Temari before he kissed her cheek, making her brick red, before he cupped her cheek lightly and she leaned into it.

"I hope we get along well, Mari-chan." He stated and she blushed at the nickname before she smiled and nodded her head before Naruto returned to his seat and gave Haku a kiss too after she gave a light pout, "So onto other things." He stated getting back into being serious and Gaara nodded, "Now, I would prefer we wait on the detailed explanation for if Tsunade gets here as she will want me to give her the details as well and I don't plan on doing so in front of those idiots on the Council since they would just call for me to be executed, used as breeding stock, or reveal the secrets behind my abilities and skills, since I have had nothing but time to train them, and then possibly use said secrets to kill me. If she is not here, then I will make sure to visit or have you visit and give you a detailed explanation." He stated and Gaara nodded while Temari and Haku frowned at the mention of the fools on the Council in Konoha, though the ones in the other villages weren't usually any better.

"That is understandable Naruto, I can settle for some simple information on your time away and we can get into specifics at a later time." Gaara stated and Naruto nodded before he ran a hand through his hair with Gaara and Temari noticing the scar on his ring finger.

"Well I guess I'll explain a few things: First our world is not the only one as there are other worlds that exist and I was sent to another one both to train and to kill an individual of great power while also gaining my own powers from items the beings who called me away left behind. I don't know how many worlds there are or how many different ones there are, all I know is that I went to one where time passed much faster than here." He stated and Gaara and Temari widened their eyes, "I was in that world for 858 years and throughout that time I trained, fought, waged war, recruited, taught, mentored, killed, assassinated, sailed, broke laws, freed people, and much more as I waited till I could return. Throughout all of this, I didn't age past 18 due to an old bloodline being unlocked that stops my aging after I turned 18." He informed as he saw Gaara relax in his chair processing everything while Temari seemed to be blushing slightly and he wondered if she had a thing for older men.

"I can also pass this on to any woman I have, which is why I wanted Temari to have an out since she would end up watching as you and Kankurō age and die while she, myself, and anyone else I ended up with remained." He stated and Temari smiled and kissed his cheek before she took a chair and sat beside him with her head on his shoulder and Haku did the same while Gaara nodded and motioned for him to continue, "So years passed, I learned new skills, mastered new weapons, gained new abilities through training and from certain objects that I drained of their powers, and learned a great many things." Naruto stated as Gaara nodded and was intrigued by his new abilities.

"I take it that also had to do with the strange language you used earlier with your bird summon?" Gaara asked and Naruto nodded with a smile.

"The world I went to had many countries and around 90% of them had a different language or form of an existing language to learn thus I speak several languages fluently including this one since in their world they had a country called Japan that had our language under the name of Japanese so I didn't get rusty with this one while I was away thankfully. The language I used for my bird was one called Italian." Naruto informed and the three people widened their eyes slightly since, while they had a couple dozen countries, they all spoke the same language and to have such diversity in the languages could only mean one thing.

"This world, it was divided even more than this one is, wasn't it?" He asked and Naruto nodded his head slightly.

"Much more than you think; dozens of religions, different economies, ethnicities or races which are varying physical attributes that distinguished them from group to group, different ways of fighting, different customs, different militaries, and the list just continues on and on." Naruto stated as they had many encounters both friendly and enemy about many of those items and had consequently had wars and bouts of combat involving those different issues, "Hundreds of wars and battles because of the differences between people. Someone thinks their religion is better and that they need to kill those who don't believe in it, others declare war on another group because of their grandmother's grandfather's grandfather killed someone else's mother's father's great uncle's cousin in a duel of honor, others think their race was better and declared war on another, others think that one country represents everything they hate and began their own form of war, and it goes on and on with the foolishness that the people had. A few I could understand such as the family one, but once there were over a hundred deaths on both sides then it is time to just let it go before you lose more family. I mean, how much blood has to be spilled before the honor has been regained?"

Naruto stated absentmindedly as he recalled a time in Africa when he learned the British, French, and Spanish were taking slaves from there and went down there before he created a Brotherhood there to stop or at least slow the flow of slaves leaving there and had educated his southern brethren on many things and showed that traditions were great, but not if they became outdated with the times, and the brotherhood began flourishing there. Hell, centuries later and there were members helping a preacher named Sam Childers, nicknamed the Machine Gun Preacher, free the children soldiers of the Sudan and were helping to teach some of the children that wanted to learn to fight to protect the other kids and expanded the brotherhood even farther. What slaves didn't get saved were subsequently slowly freed by the Haitian Brotherhood and then more by Connor Kenway and his group when they expanded to the southern part of what is now the United States.

Naruto then smirked as he remembered the Civil War and him helping a man named Newton Knight create what they called 'The Free State of Jones' and Naruto used his connections to President Abraham Lincoln, who was an Assassin supporter, and General Ulysses S. Grant, who was an Assassin himself as was General Robert E. Lee which was also why they kept going to a stalemate during the war and exaggerated their losses to try and flush out the Templars that wanted to replace them, to get Newton some Rifles, two cannons, and a large amount of ammo to help hold the line and then establish their own form of martial law after the war with Grant granting them control over the state and they made sure no Jim Crow laws, discrimination, or segregation existed in Mississippi and broke anyone that attempted to change that and even trained Newton, his best friend Abraham, and their kids in the Assassin ways and they carried on the tradition later on when Naruto had to go when word spread about possible trouble brewing in Cuba and then joined Teddy Roosevelt at San Juan Hill. Things just spiraled from there as he went to Europe both times a World War started and was part of the reason that Germany suffered setbacks each war and it continued on with the Cold War with Naruto using the different Assassin brotherhoods to ensure that no one really won the Cold War. He still laughed whenever he and his brothers and sisters took out CIA and KGB agents when they were the best and greatest their agencies had to offer.

Naruto broke from his musings at hearing Gaara's voice, "How strong are you now, Naruto?" Gaara asked as he saw his brother figure becoming lost in memories and didn't want him to get too lost.

Naruto smirked slightly, "Above Kage easily. I've had nothing but time to train and put into practice anything I learned and came up with." Naruto stated honestly and Gaara nodded since Naruto had no boastfulness in him as he spoke and Naruto wasn't one to make a claim like that without being able to back it up since, even in his youth, Naruto never claimed to be Kage level, "So Gaara tell me about yourself and what has been going on, from what I understand and sensed, you have a few fans in the village." Naruto stated and Gaara's cheeks actually reddened slightly while Temari giggled at her brother's expense before they began just chatting and catching up just like old friends were meant to.

5 days later

Naruto stood in a training ground and watched as Haku sparred against a clone with her new sword though anyone watching, which were quite a few people, could tell the clone was holding back but couldn't tell how much as the clone would take the opportunity to lightly slap Haku whenever she left an opening with his training sword. He had been doing this each day after he got to catch up with Gaara and since then had only spoken to the Suna ninja, Haku, and Hinata since the only other Konoha ninja that wanted to talk to Naruto were the ones he made clear were not on his trusted list.

Haku had been coming along decently in using her sword, but wasn't near where Naruto wanted her at. However, she had just started learning to use it so he wasn't going to give her a hard time about it. His thoughts were broken as he sensed some chakra levels approaching with one very large and animalistic feeling one. He smirked before whistling and Haku immediately stopped and moved by him with her sword put away before they began walking to the entrance to Suna with Naruto having his hood up and his mask on and caught up to Gaara a few minutes later when Naruto sent a brief pulse of chakra through a seal he connected to Gaara so they could let the other know about danger or that the other needed their attention.

As they arrived at the entrance, it only took about 20 seconds before Gamabunta landed with Tsunade, Shizune, Yugao, Anko, and Jiraiya standing on his head causing a large amount of dust before Temari blew it away with her fan and the riders jumped down and looked around, "Kazekage-sama, I hope I am not too late." Tsunade stated and Gaara smirked before turning to Naruto who removed his hood and then pulled his mask off nearly giving Yugao, Tsunade, and Jiraiya a heart attack since, except for the scars, he looked like a combination of Minato and Kushina and Naruto smiled at them.

"Hello Tsunade-sama, Yugao-san, Anko-san, Shizune-chan, Ero-Sannin." He stated and Jiraiya didn't face fault since he missed the kid too much, though he wasn't sure he could call Naruto that anymore. Tsunade, Yugao, Anko, and Shizune were blushing slightly at his mature looks while they also wondered why the hell he had scars. Naruto then jumped to Gamabunta, "Hey Boss Bunta, how are Gamakichi and the others doing?" Naruto asked with a grin and Gamabunta chuckled.

"They're doing fine kid, though from what Fukasaku and Shima told me, I can't rightfully call you that anymore." Gamabunta stated as Naruto had not only called Gamakichi over the years but had called the other toads to learn about them and then had called Fukasaku and Shima, aka pa and ma toad, and learned to use Sage Mode from them, which only enhanced his sensor abilities and gave him another Taijutsu… and the title of Sage gave him even more respect/fear from the Templars and Assassins. Naturally, he told them not to tell Jiraiya anything other than he was alive and couldn't be reversed summoned for some reason, which was really due to he didn't want to try crossing worlds by summoning instead of however Minerva and Saturn did it.

Naruto chuckled, "Yeah, I'll explain it later over a drink since I have some things for you to try that I think you may enjoy." He stated and Gamabunta grinned and nodded before Naruto jumped off and waved to Bunta. Naruto cracked his neck before he turned to Jiraiya and frowned before he gave a very sickly sweet smile to him that made him shiver, "Oh, Jiraiya, I have a message from my mother that she wanted me to deliver you."

He stated and the new arrivals were confused and Jiraiya shivered slightly for some reason, "Wha-what message is that?" He asked with some fear and it was not alleviated as Naruto approached him with the same smile on his face.

"She said, and I quote." He stated before taking a deep breath before he slammed his foot into Jiraiya's chin and sent him hurdling into the air near the clouds, "THAT'S FOR ONLY TEACHING MY SOCHI HOW TO SUMMON AND BARELY DOING THE RASENGAN, YOU PERVERTED BASTARD!" Naruto yelled at Jiraiya before taking a step back as said Toad Sage came plummeting back to the ground causing a crater in which he was twitching slightly and Naruto leaned down to look at him, "You should be glad I took my mother's advice over my father's, he wanted me to shove a giant Rasengan up your ass." He stated before pausing and turning to the women, "Pardon my language ladies." He stated before turning back to Jiraiya, "My parents also stated that if I ever have kids and you're still around and you pull this crap again, then you're going to have a VERY unhappy afterlife. Also, be glad that I changed where I was supposed to kick you since I assume you can guess where my mother wanted me to kick knowing it would do the most damage and get the point across better." Naruto stated before grabbing him and dragged him over to Tsunade while Gamabunta was laughing his ass off before he waved to Naruto and poofed back home and Gaara was discreetly squeezing his legs together since he could imagine where a mother fueled with feminine and motherly fury would want to kick with the amount of strength Naruto had.

Naruto released Jiraiya and Tsunade made it so he could at least walk while Naruto went over and spoke to Gaara and Haku before he caught a kunai in his hand and threw it back before disappearing. Anko, after seeing how his body showed in his clothes, wanted to see if he really trained and threw a kunai at him only to be shocked as he caught and threw back at her faster than she could see and felt a cut form on her cheek before hot breath hit her neck, "I would appreciate you not trying that again Anko-chan, I had to restrain myself from possibly killing you since I aim to kill when I throw a weapon." He stated before he licked her cheek where her cut was and she shivered slightly under his breath and lick before she felt him speak again, "You taste sweet Anko-chan." He stated huskily in her ear making her blush and shiver again before he was back by Gaara again talking to him about something while the new arrivals were astounded with the speed.

After a minute or so of talking, Naruto turned back towards them, "Come on, we'll discuss more in the tower." Naruto stated as he walked with Gaara, Temari, and Haku while the five arrivals followed quickly while Naruto was planning some conditions that were to be met if Tsunade ever wanted him to set foot in that village again and he knew that there were quite a few parties that were going to be pissed… and he was going to love every second of it.

Done! Next time will be some talks, return to Konoha, and some fun items for Naruto experience that may or may not involve the beat down of some people that Naruto knows.

I hope you enjoyed the bit of history you got with Naruto this chapter and there will be more as we go with Naruto giving detailed parts later on since there will be several situations where a memory will be triggered whether it is remembering a time in Vietnam while he is in Jungle Country, remembering a time in the northern seas when he goes to Snow Country, remembering various espionage missions that he committed in varying centuries while fulfilling the same kind in his world, and much more.

So, I have been contemplating something and I wanted y'all to give input: Should I make it so Sasuke was successfully taken away by Kabuto or should I have it be that Kakashi was able to catch up and retake Sasuke? I haven't decided if he will be bashed, bashed and then redeemed, or if he is already redeemed since Naruto did beat the hell out of him so he may have gotten a wakeup call since Naruto did beat him rather handedly. For fics, I have one where he is bashed and redeemed, one straight bashing, and one with no bashing but still getting a wakeup call, so I could go either way on it in this since this wasn't one that I specifically set as being one way or the other with Sasuke being a bastard or not and I have the story and my ideas to a point it doesn't matter which way it goes as I can go with the decision no matter what. If Sasuke is going to have been brought back, then I will come up with a reasonable explanation for why he isn't with the Konoha group sent to help/rescue Gaara.

Anyway, Naruto will be showcasing more of his skills and abilities as he goes, though a few, and my fellow Assassin's Creed enthusiasts should be able to guess which ones, will not be used unless he is severely outnumbered.

Yes, Naruto will be taking more apprentices on as he goes as I have an idea to make it interesting and fun to do since it will make a certain individual in Konoha very interested.

Well, that should be it, please review and I'll see you all later.
