Blue orbs flickered open and sunlight shined through the window into his eyes. His hands swatted the air as if trying to get rid of the light. "Too early," he mumbled out as if speaking to the sun in the sky. He stopped waving his hand and pulled the covers over his entire body, something shuffled and he felt old leather brush against his skin. The affect was immediate, he bolted straight up with his eyes wide in realization and his arm stuck like a cobra down at the leather book on the bed. His hand gripped the old book with little to no strength in fear that it would crumble at the slightest touch.

"It wasn't a dream," Naruto said to himself as he looked down at the book with the strange symbol. His finger traced the mark and a sense of nostalgia swept over him. "Strange," was all he said about the feeling in his gut. He shifted in his bed and planted his feet onto the ground; he got up and walked to the wardrobe in the room. He got out of the clothes he was in and changed into an attire that felt right. A white, zip-up hoodie with dark blue as the interior color, a dark blue shirt, blue jeans, and a pair of black running shoes. He pulled the hood over his head and placed the leather book into his right pocket.

Naruto walked to the window, opened it, and jumped out. He did a forward roll once he hit the ground and then started to sprint towards the gate. He brought his shoulder up a little and barged right through the gate, affectively opening it. His legs moved as fast as he could as he ran to the abandoned house. He entered the darkness followed the river until he came upon the lake where the house was.

Naruto didn't run towards the water, instead, he ran around the lake in fear that the water would soak and ruin the old book in his pocket. He ran up the small set of stairs that lead to the patio and sat on them while pulling the book out of his pocket. His fingers flipped through the pages until he found Chapter two. He read and absorbed the knowledge, painting the image inside of the book into his mind until he could almost recreate entirely in his mind. Hours would be spent reading the book to fully know the style.

(TWO HOURS LATER)

Naruto shut the book and stood up. He walked around the house so that he was in a small clearing with nothing in it: not a flower, tree, or plant in it. His legs spread apart so that they were a little wider than the shoulders and his arms were out. His right arm was the furthest one out and the left one was closer but neither were uncomfortable.

Naruto imagined that there was some sort of invisible enemy at him that was about to engage him in a full on fist fight. He closed his eyes and imagined the flow of the movement that was written in the book and his body responded as if it was natural. He ducked and turned, blocked and rolled as if the enemy was real. His fist moved in with a right hook and his left hand was thrusted in the stomach of the imaginary foe. His right leg swept underneath the enemy and caused it to fall on its back. He jumped up and landed on its head with a sickening crunch.

"Wait, imaginary foes shouldn't make a crunch noise," Naruto said out loud. He looked down and saw that he wasn't in the clearing anymore, he was in the body of one of the people he dreamt of the day before as he fought countless enemies bare handed. "Which one is this?" Naruto asked himself, he couldn't feel the strengths of the body he was in and it was as if he was disconnected somehow. The world broke into multiple pieces and he was in the clearing again. Sweating and out of breath.

"What happened?" Naruto asked no one but himself. He looked up at the sky and looked at the position of the sun. "No way," Naruto said to himself. When he started to practice the style it was twelve P.M. now it was six. Nausea overcame him and he hurled onto the ground; blood poured out of his mouth and whatever he ate the night before came out with it. His arm went up to his face and wiped away specks of blood on his face. He fell to his knees as his body went numb and he fell face first into the snowy ground. His eyes flickered as he tried to remain awake but it would not be so, he passed out. A lone screech of a falcon echoed throughout the area but there was no response.

(SIX HOURS LATER)

His eyes opened in shock, sweat poured down from his face and he freely coughed blood. "Ugh, what happened?" Naruto asked himself as he groggily pushed himself off the ground. A cold breeze swept through the air and he shivered. He looked around and realized something, he couldn't see. It was pitch black outside and nothing stirred. He took a step forward and tripped on a rock, or something that felt like one. His head grazed something sharp pointing out of the ground and a long cut appeared over his head. Blood flowed out of it since it was a head wound.

Naruto stumbled around for a bit until he found the wall of the cabin; he used his hand and used the wall as support and guidance as he walked. His eyes burned and he rubbed at them, hoping the pain would go away. The burning grew more intense until he couldn't take it anymore, he fell onto his knees and let out a screech of pain as his eyes burned. The world kept flickering from light blue to black. "AHHHHH!" He screamed out as the pain grew more intense as the colors kept flickering. A wet sticky substance leaked from his eyes, it was blood.

Naruto was confused about what was happening. He knew that his eyes changed the colors of the world before but he didn't know why it was hurting so much the second time it was happening. The blood ran free from his eyes and when the world would change color the blue would become even more intense than before.

Silence filled the clearing as Naruto stopped screaming, his lungs were too tired to make any noise. The world stopped changing colors and his eyes saw that all was blue. He stepped forward and looked around. "What the hell?" he asked himself. He walked around the lake and stepped into the forest that lead to his "Families" home. Unlike before, he wasn't greeted with darkness. The forest was blue and parts of the river were gold. "The path is gold," Naruto said to himself as he looked at the pathway he made for himself. He traveled down it, with comfort at the fact he wasn't blind in the forest now.

Naruto walked out the forest and into the mellow grasslands of Konoha, the cold breeze of the night swept through and brushed his skin. Naruto looked down at the ground and saw footprints that glowed gold against the glowing blue grass. He followed the path laid out in front of him until he reached the gates of his home, but the trail did not stop there. The prints walked past the house, took a left, and led to the direction of the Hokage Mountain. Naruto followed as if in a trance and with each step he would land on the golden footprints, causing them to fade under his shoes as he stepped on them. Step after step he followed until he was on the very top of the Hokage Mountain, the trail ended near the edge and at the end was a glowing gold symbol. It was the same symbol that was on the book in his pocket. He walked up to it, knelt down, placed his palm on it, and pushed down on it.

Naruto heard a grinding noise coming from his right and when he turned to look at the noise he saw a set of stairs leading into the mountain. He scrambled to his feet and ran over to the stairs. The trail lead down the stairs so he quickly darted down them. The darkness engulfed his body but he was safe from being blind due to the world glowing with a blue aura. He looked around the room in amazement. There were lanterns hanging from the ceiling to provide light, a long table on the left that was filled with all sorts of weapons along with the rack above it, the right had a row of training dummies made of hay and dust covered them as if they haven't been used in years, But the most eye catching object of all of the things in the room was the back. The back had two coat racks with robes of sorts on each one. The left one was white with blue as its secondary color, a hood adorned its back and the middle of coat was open to unveil a white shirt. The sides that open up were blue and had buttons going down it while two leather straps were crossed together to form and X on the chest. The waist area had a red sash wrapped around the coat with the symbol that was on the book on it.

Naruto examined the second coat with a keen eye. It was similar to the first in the fact that it had a hood, was white and blue, and the middle was open up with a shirt underneath it. However, unlike the previous one a leather jerkin adorned its chest and the main color was light blue with white as the secondary color. A red sash was wrapped around the waist a few times and it didn't have the symbol on it. There were two holsters on the leather jerkin and two on each side of his waist making six in total. Two of the holsters he could tell were meant for a type of sword but the ones on the chest and the other two were beyond any weapon or item he has seen.

Naruto's eyes started to burn again and blood poured out of his eye but he did not scream, the pain hurt like hell but it lessened from last time. The world started to turn dark as the color faded from his eyes and the suits seemed to beckon to him even in the darkness. The burning stop and the bleeding was done. He started to walk to the suits in the darkness and fumbled a bit. His hand grazed the leather of a robe. He grasped onto it and a sharp pain was sent through his body. His mind felt as if it was struck by a bolt of lightning as memories started to form. Memories of another man.

Naruto gripped his head in pain as he started to learn things: Locations, ship building, commanding, and the art of parkour. He was overwhelmed by the sheer amount of knowledge that was entering his head at once. He let go of the robe and the memories faded away and what he learned faded with it, the only thing he could remember how to do was parkour. "I have to practice that," mumbled to himself when he realized it could be useful when escaping from the mobs.

Naruto reached up and felt a lantern hanging from the roof, he turned the nozzle on and gas emitted from inside it; a flame flickered into existence and illuminated the room. Naruto repeated this process with the other lanterns that hanged from the roof. Once done with this process he backed up to the stair case and sat down in a wooden chair that had dust settling over it. He made contact with the chair and it fell apart as if it didn't have any support. "Ow," He moaned out as his hand went to the ground and he pushed himself up. Something clicked and the grinding noise echoed throughout the room.

Naruto turned around the corner and saw the sky fading away as the rock started covering up the exit. "No, no, no, no, no!" he said as he ran up the stairs and stumbled. The noise stopped and the exit was blocked. Naruto walked back down and looked around the room. "No exit and no food, just me and a bunch of lethal weapons. This isn't exactly how I planned my weekend to go," Naruto mumbled to himself as he walked around the room and examined each weapon on the table to the left. He stopped at the very end of the table when something caught his eye. "What's this?" he asked himself as he picked up the wooden box and opened it up. Inside was a weapon.

The weapon itself was more of a gauntlet then a weapon in Naruto's eyes. It was all leather that was put on the arm near the wrist and had leather straps on it so that one could tie it and keep the gauntlet from sliding off. The most interesting thing of this leather gauntlet was the blade on the bottom that went straight down the middle and had a tiny metal skull design on the bottom of the blade. There was a pair in a wooden box, one for the right arm and one for the right arm.

Naruto placed the box down and rolled his sleeves up. He picked up the right blade first and strapped it on and did the repeated the process with the left blade. He rolled his sleeves back down and the blades were covered by the white sleeves. Naruto looked at his arm and flicked his wrist; he jumped back in surprise when the blade popped out with a sliding sound. Naruto flicked his wrist again and it sheathed itself. Naruto walked up to the wall, leaned on it and scooted down so that he was sitting against it. His hand reaches toward his pocket and he pulls out the book that has taught him more in the past two days than his parents have in the past eight years. His hands flipped to the pages until he reached section three "The hidden blade," Naruto mumbled out. "So this is what their called, a little unoriginal but who am I to judge, after all, I was named after a ramen topping," He said to himself as he flipped the page and read the context.

"The hidden blade is the weapon that all assassins have used throughout the years, to use it once meant that you had to shop off your ring finger as a sacrifice but that is not required. Now, most new initiates will flip their entire wrist to activate the hidden blade since doing that you move all the muscles in your wrist. That is a technique that all novice's use but an experienced assassin will show you that only a single muscle is used to activate the hidden blade. The creed, however, does not show every initiate what muscle it is. The initiate must learn to familiarize themselves with the hidden blade on their own and when they do they will learn which muscle it is that they have to use activate the blade. The creed does this so that the user learns the concept of patience and how to use the hidden blade to its full potential," Naruto read out loud.

"That is a mouthful," Naruto said to himself. "Such small things and yet they are so complicated," he said as he repeatedly activated and retracted the blade. Naruto pushed himself off the wall and walked up to the straw dummies. He flicked his wrist and activated the blades. He placed his hand on the dummies shoulder and brought it forward a little as he thrusted his right hand into its stomach. He pulled his right hand back and let go of the dummy. Straw poured out the cut in the cloth. Naruto lifted his left hand up and wiped off the sweat that trickled down his forehead. He brought it down and saw that there was somewhat dry blood on hand. "Huh," he said in surprise before he remembered earlier. "Oh, now I remember. I hit my head on a jagged rock or something like that."

Then he remembered the pain. "Why did it hurt so much that time?" Naruto asked to himself. He walked back and forth and pondered on it for what felt like hours, but was more like seven minutes. "Is it a bloodline? I heard some bloodlines involve extreme pain when activated but the Namikaze don't have a bloodline and the only recorded bloodline of the Uzumaki was fast healing, large chakra, and large stamina. That bloodline was more of a body booster than a bloodline so it doesn't have a name. Shit, then what could've caused that pain?" He had similar thoughts going on inside of his head as he kept on thinking about possibilities, the more he thought about it the more it didn't make sense. "Okay, the first time it activated was when it showed me the book, the second time it activated was when I… Wait what did I do in those six hours? Never mind that, the sight seems to activate whenever it needs to show me something, first the book and, now, this room." Naruto mumbled. He continued pacing back and forth for another solid twenty minutes.

Naruto stopped and his eyes opened a little. "Could it be chakra flowing into my eyes? That would explain a lot besides the one little fact that my 'parents' didn't teach me how to use chakra," Naruto grumbled out and held venom in his voice when he said the word parents. He stopped thinking about the thing entirely and walked to where the broken chair was. "I'll worry about that later. Right now I need to focus on a way to get out of here," he said as he moved the remains of the chair away from the spot where he landed when he fell. That's when he saw it, a small button with the symbol on it. It was the exact same one as the one that lead him into this room. He stepped on the button and the grinding noise echoed throughout the room. Naruto wasted no time turning the corner and running up the stairs into the world. He looked up and saw the familiar rose-pink light of dawn. He turned around and saw that the floor was closing itself with a grinding noise. He turned back and started walking in the direction of the house.

Naruto's feet lazed along and his eyes were droopy. He yawned and continued walking forward and saw that the gate to the house was open, which was strange. He heard a scream echo throughout the plain and his eyes opened up and his legs tensed as he sprinted towards the house. He flew past the large gates and they waved a little from the wind he left behind him. He ran at the wall and once near it he placed his right foot on it and kicked up with all the strength he could muster. His left hand grabbed onto a window seal and his right hand grabbed onto the seal and he pushed himself up. His feet were on the top of the window seal and he jumped up to grab the roof. He pushed himself onto it and ran up the slanted roof until he was on the other side. The scream echoed again and he saw what was happening. Minato, Hiruzen, Tsunade, Kushina, and Kakashi were around Mito. Everyone looked tensed but Mito looked different. Orange chakra surrounded her body and her hair was blasted up from the pressure she was releasing. "STAY AWAY!" she roared.

Naruto cringed at the noise, her voice was the same but gruff and almost demonic. Naruto stood there, not sure what to do. Minato and Kushina stepped forward and the chakra grew more. "Mito sweetie, we just want to help you," Kushina said. Mito looked at her mother and her eyes turned neon red and a predatory smile was on her face. She lurched forward with her hand out. Her nails were long and sharp, they looked like they could puncture through steel. No one expected this action and everyone didn't move when she moved forward.

Something in Naruto clicked, he pulled on his hood so that it covered his face and he jumped off the roof. He wasn't sure what made him jump. It could've been the need to gain acceptance from his parents, but he thought he forgot that dream two years ago. It could've been brotherly love and that he did not want to see his only sister murder her own mother. Or it could've been him wanting to do the right thing. He wasn't' sure and he would probably never know for years to come. He landed in front of his 'mother' as Mito was two feet away. Time slowed for Naruto and he looked Mito in her demonic eyes. They were full of such hate and he felt like he was looking into a reflection. "This isn't her," he thought. "This is the Kyuubi," when he said the words Kyuubi in his mind he could feel the tip of the nails puncture through the skin on his stomach. They went further in and his blood splattered onto her face. He could feel her hand go through the arteries in his stomach and he could feel the demonic chakra graze his spinal cord but didn't damage it. Her fist went through the muscle, skin and cloth and exploded out his back with blood pouring freely from her hand. The arm went through his body as well until her shoulder touched his stomach. Her nails scratched through Kushina's dress and caused a small cut appear across her stomach.

Everyone froze at what just happened. Mito almost killed her own mother and a mysterious hooded man took the blast for Kushina. The demonic chakra faded from existence and the red glow in Mito's eyes faded away. She was panting and she looked at her arm. She gasped in shock and pulled her arm out from the man's stomach. Blood covered every inch of her arm and hand, all the way up to her shoulder. She trembled a bit and fell on her butt.

Naruto coughed up blood onto the snow and blood flowed out of the hole in his body at a fast rate. He fell forward and landed face first on the ground with blood pouring out of his mouth. His eyes grew dull and droopy. He looked up and saw everyone attending to Mito who pointed at Naruto and said, "Help him, not me." Naruto's eyes rolled upward and darkness consumed him and he felt the cold hand of death graze his body and for the first time in his short life he wondered if he was going to die.

(IN MITO'S SEAL)

In a cage was a giant orange, nine-tailed fox who was repeatedly pounding the ground with a crazed look in its eyes "DAMN IT!" Its demonic voice echoed through the cage. "The one time they loosen the seal and that boy screwed everything up. I almost killed Kushina but the carrier of my soul had to prevent that from happening!" The beast continued to pound the ground in anger and it didn't notice that one of its tails started to fade away until it only had eight tails.

AUTHORS NOTE (LAST PART IS IMPORTANT)

Hey guys, sorry for the long update but I have a good reason. The rest of the year will consist of EOC's and FSA's for the school I attend to. And I have around five classes where I need to take those test. So don't be surprised if I don't update as often. But seriously I am really sorry about this chapter. I had to delete a bunch of chapters in my computer due to a virus, which is now fixed, so I had to pick between which chapter I wanted to save, this one or a few chapters from my other stories. I chose this story and I am currently rewriting the other ones. I will probably update on Tuesday or Wednesday since Spring break just started. I do not own Naruto or Assassin's creed, if I did I would totally give Connor Kenway another game. Oh, before I forget, Naruto won't be goody, goody with his parents. There will still be bashing and you'll find out why next chapter.
