NOW ON TO THE STORY
The Brotherhood was 's mind went blank. His breathing became hitched. He had waited for 6 years and finally they had come. Finally he would fight by their side and take down the Templars.
No more would he have to sit in the shadows biding his time. He would be able to show his mettle, prove his worth, help his brothers.
Naruto ran to the window sill and grabbed the scroll. He immediately rolled down the all the windows and covered the windows.
Naruto remembered when he had first met them…
Flashback\\
Naruto ran as his little legs could carry him.
"THERE HE IS GET THE DEMON"
"YEA LETS KILL HIM!"
Naruto had always heard this voices before but Neko-chan, Inu-Chan, and all the other Anbu-chans that helped him stopped them before they could even speak more than 4 words.
This time the Anbu's weren't there and Naruto was attacked. He ran and ran. Yes he was fast for a little kid and he had a godly amount of stamina but he was still a kid. And against a couple chunnin and a crowd of Civilians… not much you can do. Naruto turned the alley and saw a dead end. Naruto groaned … there had to be an exit somewhere.
Naruto ran towards the wall looking around care full trying to find any way to climb up. There was no hand holds or even cracks. Naruto turned around to find that the crowd had catched up to him. Naruto whimpered he knew he was going to be in pain he knew he may die.
As the first punch struck Naruto curled up into a ball trying to hide from the blows, the sticks, the knives… Trying to cower from the yells, the curses…
Then it stopped… it all stopped. Naruto looked up and saw white... Naruto reached out his hand covered in blood to touch this white. Suddenly the white moved and Naruto was face to face with a man. Naruto gasped and curled up again but his eyes still open.
The man carefully reached out with his hand and placed it on Naruto's head rubbing some dirt and blood from the hair. Naruto flinched at the contact. The man ignored his discomfort and whispered to him gently like how Ji-ji comforted him "Safety and Peace Brother"
Naruto didn't know what to respond but he decided to go with his instinct "S-s-safety and p-peace Br-uthor"
The man gave a small chuckled and moved to the side. Naruto saw a alley full of bodies and 5 mean standing spread among them. They were all dressed in white but covered with weapons of all kinds. Some of them had their ring fingers cut off, others didn't.
Naruto turned to The man in front of him "W-who are you?"
The man Smiled "We are the brother hood and you are Altair"
Flashback Pause
Naruto gave a soft and sad smile. Even though that was one of the worst times of his life but that moment was when he had first met the brother hood. It was when he was given the memories of his ancestor. It was when he had been given purpose.
Flashback Play \\
"W-what do you mean I am Altair? My name is Naruto… Uzumaki Naruto."
The man only chuckled. "That is the name of your ancestor, My ancestor was Malik and Your ancestor was Altair, come we have something to show you."
The man helped Naruto up slowly and carried him up gently bridal style. The Men in white, The brotherhood disappeared from sight.
Naruto looked around the area. They were still in Konoha but outside in the trees. Naruto saw a large white tent with something sown on it. It looked like an 'A' but it had no line in the middle. Naruto paid no attention and followed the man 'Malik' Inside.
It was nice and cool inside and well lit with torches. Inside was a large but low table that Naruto could step up on easily, even with his small 6 year old body.
Malik motioned Naruto to step up onto the Table thingy. Naruto walked into the middle and noticed there were some weird scribble-y things on it.
Malik looked at Naruto again and gave the same smile he had only about an hour ago. "Naruto I'm going to use this seal Called the Animus, it will allow you to access the memories of your Ancestor Altair."
Naruto grew wide eyed. "So I'll be able to know what he did" Though Naruto did not pay attention in academy, he knew a fair bit. Most of it was from hiding in the library. He read books while waiting for time to pass, or mobs.
Malik nodded "Feel what he felt, do what he did, and Become the Assassin he was."
Naruto nodded nervously. The White robbed men around him started doing a succession of hand seals in perfect synchronization and the seal on the low table glowed engulfing Naruto in White light.
Flashback end/
Naruto shook his head of memories. Now was not the time to become nostalgic. He was Naruto and Altair both destined to become great things. One had already achieved greatness and continued to do so. His other half would have to wait to become Hokage for the Brotherhood came first.
Naruto opened the scroll and read it carefully
Altair,
This is an Urgent meeting, we have identified the Templars and it seems they are now the Scum to walk the lands, but the scum are still powerful. We must meet at the regular place.
Safety and Peace,
Malik.
Naruto sighed this was it, the time was now, and nothing mattered except for the Brotherhood. Naruto quickly packed all of his real gear into a storage scroll so that he could take it out later. Naruto grabbed an apple and started to take a bite as he walked towards the hokage tower. He would have to see the Hokage first.
The scene at the training are was an entirely different matter.
Sakura was BOILING WITH RAGE. NOT ONLY WAS KAKASI-SENSEI LATE, NARUTO WAS ALSO LATE. This actually made her worry for a bit. What happened if he was sick or injured but Sakura immediately squashed the idea. The idiot was not tougher than steel he wouldn't get sick and he'd cut off his arm before he let an injury stop him.
Sasuke was mildly wondering where the hell Naruto was. One he needed a distraction to get away from Sakura, Two he needed a distraction to stay away from Sakura, and three he was bored…
They waited…
And WAITED…
AND WAITED…
and then Finally someone showed up…
"Yo sorry I got attacked by Iwa nins while helping a lady cross the road of life and then after defeating the Iwa nins I saved a cat from a tree who ran up the tree to escape a doton jutsu of one of those Iwa nins."
Sakura yelled her usual 'lair' and Sasuke groaned but instead of just laying in his tree he jumped down and confronted Kakashi.
"Kakashi-sensei we have a problem"
"Yeees Sasuke-kun" Kakashi replied in a cheery, merry tone.
Sasuke's eye twitched and mentally put Kakashi a bit higher on the kill list "Naruto isn't here and something is definitely wrong."
Kakashi went into his thinking pose and nodded solemnly like he was listening to a good story.
"OK off we go time to discover the mysterious whereabouts of our lost teammates."
Kakashi twirled around in a circle once, took a book and walked in the direction of an Apartment complex. Sakura and Sasuke sweat dropped and followed silently.
Naruto sighed he had to wait 2 and a half HOURS FOR THE FREAKING MEETING TO BE Done. Normally Naruto would be pissed off but this time Naruto was mentally preparing himself on how to leave. (at this point in time The Author is lying in defeat his mind had died and does not know what to do.)
As the Man with one arm covered in bandages finally left, Naruto went in.
"Hey ji-ji."
The Hokage looked up and gave a tired smile. "Hi Naruto. What is it you want?"
Naruto gave him a sheepish smile and scratches his head "Well I was wondering whether I could take some time off like a trip for fresh air maybe a week or two."
The nicknamed Professor raised an eye brow trying to read Naruto. After 60 some odd years of fighting Sarutobi was quite gifted at reading people. Naruto's face and body posture as well as the nervous but hopeful feel that was exuding out of him that the boy didn't intend to do anything bad. Sarutobi nodded "How about you take your team with you."
Naruto's face fell "They're kind of the reason I want to go…"
Sarutobi looked once again at Naruto this was big. Teammates were supposed to be a pillar of support not a hole of vanity.
Sarutobi sighed he would inform and interrogate team 7 later. "Alright Naruto." While he did want to know the reasons, he did not want to pressure the child into giving them. He knew that posture, the one of nervousness and fear.
The 'Old man' took out a scroll and wrote a mission scroll allowing Naruto to go 'train' on his own.
Naruto grabbed the scroll and gave his surrogate Grandpa a hug. "Thanks JI-ji."
Naruto ran out the door and headed towards the west gate. Sarutobi watched him walk towards the gate from his office. As Naruto disappeared from sight the Third Hokage growled out "Bear get Me the rest of Team 7 excluding Naruto here NOW!"
Disregard for teammates was the same thing as insubordination to the Professor. Konoha relied on teamwork to overcome tough opponents that's how they grew as a nation.
Sarutobi waited at his desk smoking his pipe.
Kakashi knew the moment he opened Naruto's door and found it empty something was wrong.
Naruto has always come to the training grounds on time.
His house being empty meant that obviously he had not overslept. There was no struggle in the area, a trait that most shinobi took into account automatically, so there was no reason to be suspicious right now. Naruto may had gotten hurt during training and went to the hospital... Naruto could rebound easily from wounds in a night.
Kakashi felt nervous as he tried to find excuses or reasons not to overreact. But Kakashi came to two conclusions.
1. Someone had kidnapped Naruto outside.
2. Naruto was visiting someone and lost track of time.
Kakashi would have preferred the second one but you could never be too sure. Kakashi bit his hand and went through several hand seals.
"Kakashi." Immediately Kakashi had a kunai out of his pouch and he went behind the source. He held his kunai to the man's throat his other hand gripping the man's shoulder.
"Kakashi would you mind letting me go."
The Copy nin blinked and saw the anbu gear. He put a way the kunai and scratched his head "Maaa Maa don't sneak up on me like that"
The anbu 'Bear' shook his head, once an Anbu always Anbu.
"Hokage has requested your presence including your team"
Kakashi's eyes narrowed this was not good not many people were requested by the Hokage with Anbu.
"that's the thing my other memb—"
"The hokage has requested Naruto not come."
Kakashi nodded and turned to his two gennin who were gaping at the exchange. "So guys lets go."
His two cute little gennin nodded and turned towards the Hokage tower and sped off.
The secretary immediately sent them in. Kakashi was nervous now That meant big trouble.
As soon as Kakashi walked in his muscles grew tight, his breathing irregular…. Only people who had experienced this force before understood what this meant. This was not an old man doing paper work this was the Professor or others call him 'The god of Shinobi.'
"Hokage-sama" Kakashi nodded not even taking out his book. The two gennins were sweating right now he could feel their nervousness against the hard steel that was Sarutobi's aura.
"I talked with Naruto and he said some interesting things."
Kakashi raised an eye brow This news was relieving and haunting at the same time.
"What did he say sir."
Sarutobi's eyes narrowed causing the gennins behind him to sweat profusely and hand go numb. "He's taking a break… going out for training on his own. HE said that he need ed some time away…from his team."
This hit the button for the team 7. They were all now in shock Naruto leaving because of them… WTF.
Sakura started to say nervously "W-w-what d-do—"
She stopped as Kakashi gave her a chilling look. Kakashi turned back to the Hokage and flipped the switch to his anbu mode. "Hokage-sama there was no indication that Naruto was having an impairment against his team other than the usual aggressions. If he did have any he did not show so I did not pry."
Sarutobi sighed but he stilled growled "Then WHY did you not stop these usual aggressions."
Kakashi visibly stiffened "I thought it was a natural routine for them and would hamper their 'bonding' if I disrupted it."
Sarutobi looked at Kakashi in his eye. Kakashi was now sweating he did give his reason honestly and by D*mn it sounded st*pid even to himself.
Sarutobi just sighed once more "Kakashi I am ordering your team to head on a training trip while follow Naruto but DO NOT MAKE CONTACT. Just watch over to make sure he is alright. He left in the direction of west so hurry. I have packs ready for you."
Sarutobi pointed towards 3 backpacks that were slightly bulged.
"You leave now, Sakura I informed your parents already"
This closed Sakura's mouth.
"NOW GO"
Team 7 broke Anbu record in grabbing the back packs and high tailing it out of there to the west gate in less than half a minute.
Naruto ran at full speed. He was pumping chakra into his legs but not let it go out. He built up the chakra in the air and as he landed. When he jumps off he pushes the chakra out of his legs sending him far greater distances.
Once Naruto was quite far from the village he sat down on a tree and rested. After half an hour he took out a scroll and unsealed his real robes. He put it on, attached his short sword, long sword, assassin knife, throwing knives, dual wielding knives, spare shot knives and his dual assassin's blade.
His assassin's blade was made by his best friend and soul mate Columbina , who he liked to call bina-chan just to annoy her. As soon as he flicked his wrists the blades would unsheathe out read for blood. His left was specially customized by her so that if he twisted the gears it could shoot out and pierce someone far away.
Columbina was one of the rare women assassin's. Ever since the second generation of Assassin's, letting women join the order, women have been used in a number of high political assassination. They had become large enough to make a seperate organization for themselves but they still coordinated with Malik. And unlike the brotherhood, they actively recruited people into the sisterhood insteadof sticking to the regular descendents.
Naruto was of the tenth generation against the Templar.
Naruto had finished putting on all his weapons and pulled up his hood. He also took out his ring with a large ruby, the crest of the Assassin inscribed into it. Naruto would only where this so he would not be killed on sight. Naruto continued walking towards the camp and did not notice the shadows following him.
For two hours they had been running to catch up to Naruto. As soon as they left the gates Kakashi summoned a dug named Pakkun and they followed after Naruto. Kakashi had passed out these pills called Soldier pills that made them burst with renewed energy that the doubled their pace. As Pakkun said they were reaching Naruto they slowed down.
'Dammit why did that idiot get us in trouble' Sakura thought. As they jumped form tree to tree. Then they saw him lying attaching lots and lots of weapons to himself. 'What the … That IDIOT'
Sakura moved to hit him on the head when she was pulled back by someone. She whipped her head around to see Kakashi glaring at her, his eyes narrowed and she closed her mouth afraid. Kakashi put a finger to his mask signaling to be quiet.
The rest of team 7 turned back to Naruto who was putting a ring on to his finger. Naruto smiled and lifted his arms into the air. A second later he pulled up the hood on his white robes and walked slowly forward.
The followed silently and very slowly from afar. After half an hour Naruto waved to someone in front of him. Team 7 looked towards where he was waving to see a man in similar garments and weapons leaning against a tree reading a book. The man looked up and from what team 7 could see smiled.
The two white robbed boys walked towards each other. Team 7 where close enough to listen and they heard the most interesting thing.
The new man was the first to speak. "Ah he returns at last, You got here quickly"
"Abas, let us go we must see Malik" team 7 looked at each other then looked back 'who was this Malik'
"Yes, yes, we must no doubt you are eager to put your tongue to his boot" Team 7 eyes widened 'That's harsh' Sasuke eyes narrowed at the man but then smirked at the thought.
Naruto retorted harshly.
"Another word and I'll put my blade to your throat." Team 7 eyes widened was this Naruto the care-free fun loving Naruto...
The two paused at each other and after a tense moment, which the gennins of the team 7 thought they were going to attack each other, the two sides laughed. Naruto held out his hands and said "Safety and peace Brother"
The man grasped Naruto's fore arm "Safety and Peace Brother"
The two robbed enigmas turned and walked together side by side idly chatting of their lives.
Kakashi's eyes narrowed this was not good. It did not matter whether this was a social thing or a dress up party one things for sure Naruto was keeping a secret. Kakashi had to find out what this group was.
Sasuke was about to move after the two when Kakashi's hand was raised in a gesture to stop
"Sasuke … Sakura you will do exactly as I say am I clear"
Sasuke's and Sakura's eyes widened at the firmness of their supposed laid back teacher. They looked at him and nodded surprise evident in their face.
"You will go back to Hokage –sama and report what you saw. You will tell him that I am going after Naruto. And you Will tell not go after Naruto after you have reported in."
The two gennins nodded solemnly they did not dare question the authority of the Copy-Cat nin.
The two gennins raced of back to Konoha. Kakashi turned back to the two cloaked boys and vanished.
Naruto was finally telling him about his team.
"Uggh you would never believe how stupid they all are. My sensei (Naruto spoke in an sacarstic tone) has deemed us worthy to learn the all might tree climbing and that's it." (Naruto had mastered tree climbing, water walking, hell even the needle stand which was extremely annoying).
Abas Laughed at his description and continued on telling him about the merchant guild he was working at. The place was alright, Pay was not much but a lot of info traveled through it… so it was worth it.
They had finally reached to the clearing ahead. Naruto smiled as he saw 28 figures ahead. Naruto walked forward silently while Abas made his way to the other side of the huddle. As Naruto Approached he noticed a table in the center, several scrolls covering.
Naruto walked carefully and slowly near the table and called out "Safety and Peace Brothers"
"Safety and Peace brother" some responded back while others were continuing to discuss. Naruto did not mind there were more important things at hand.
Finally everyone turned as someone cleared their throat. Everyone turned to face Malik.
Naruto knew in his past life, that after master had died Malik took over the Assasin's and continued to lead the fight against the templars.
Malik had single handedly planned and executed the underground Bureau. He had set up spy networks surpassing that of the toad sage Jiraiya.
Though undisputed in his leadership, every Malik never abused his power and always went with the brotherhood.
Malik looked at each one of them in turn and nodded. "As seeing we are all here we shall begin, The Sisterhood is conducting nearby and doing a separate briefing."
This was news, if there were separate briefings then that meant the assignment was quite large or very dangerous.
Malik continued "Now we have identified the Templars and it seems they are now in two factions."
No one bothered talking or gossiping they had no need.
"The First one is a group called the Akatsuki. They are quite a new group but they are extremely strong. Our normal tactics won't work on them so we are going to employ some heavy training on frontal confrontations. As for their description they wear a large cloak with clouds on them. DO NOT attempt to attack them by your self. It is said they are hunting down Jinchuuriki to take their bijuu…"
At this he paused, everyone paused, their breaths held… they knew of Naruto's burden.
Malik did not want the awkward silence and continued on without waiting
"The second group we will be dealing with now. There are about 6 people we have to kill in this. They are Sannin Orochimaru, His Sound 4, and a boy called Kabuto Yakushi…"
Malik continued on with his description while a certain ex-anbu in the trees was going into a state near cardiac arrest.
Kakashi bolted from there and going straight to the Sandaime and Telling him all he knew. Naruto was part of an organization that was targeting so called 'Templars' who were supposedly s-rank nins and such.
2 hours passed and they had forged out a plan. They all agreed on the course though Naruto was a bit disgruntled at revealing everything.
"Its decided then" Malik said with an air of Finality about him " Abas, A-syuf will lead 2 teams and enter the exams under the guise from Kiri. The rest of us will be placed around Konoha and stem the tide until we kill Orochimaru and his minions."
They all nodded and spread out. Some made camp, others talked, and still others started to spar.
Abas started to walk up to Naruto
"Hey do you wanna spar"
Naruto shook his head
"Maybe another time, I need to see someone."
Abas smirked
"See-ing your Bina eh."
Naruto blushed at the thought
"Shut up."
Naruto walked away from the Brother hood and entered the territory of the Sisterhood.
A/N: I am not happy with this chapter for several reasons. I really need help and if you guys could give me suggestions on the story line that would be great.
