His eyes fluttered to life and his eyes looked up at the white ceiling. Pain ached through every bone in his body and he wished he didn't wake up. He attempted to push himself off the bed but the pain increased as his muscles moved. He fell back onto the bed with an audible grunt. "You're awake," a voice said to Naruto.
"No, I'm a zombie who wants to eat your brains," Naruto said with sarcasm laced in his voice. His body felt like it was on fire and he didn't give two shits if he offended someone with that comment.
"I didn't figure that my savior was the sarcastic type," the feminine voice said. Naruto dwelled on her words for a few seconds before it clicked in his mind. Savior, oh shit. Were his internal thoughts. He looked up and saw Kushina Uzumaki in the clothes she wore yesterday. He looked at her straight in the eyes and realized something. She doesn't recognize me. He said in his mind with a little distaste, "Can I see your face, the hood is kind of making it hard to look at you" Kushina said.
"No," was the response Naruto gave to his 'mother'. If she couldn't recognize him by voice then she didn't deserve the right to see his face. Kushina got up from the chair she sat in and walked to the open door.
"Can you give me your name then?" she asked him. Naruto contemplated whether he should or shouldn't give her his name, then he realized this was stupid since she was the one who named him.
"It's Naruto… Naruto Kenway," Naruto said. He took his first name and replaced his last name with the first thing that came to mind. The door closed shut and Naruto laid there in amazement. He literally gave her his first name and she still didn't recognize him. That is stupid, who else in the right mind would name their only son after a ramen topping. He thought to himself. He took a sharp breath as he brought himself up so that he could sit upright. His hands reached to his hood and he pulled it down to show the world his blond hair and blue eyes.
Naruto looked down at his stomach and saw a large, deep scar laying on it. It was healing itself by filling up the scar but Naruto knew that the remnants of the scar would forever be there. He swung his legs off the bed and stood up, and immediately regretted doing that. He fell to his knees in pain as the pain grew more intense. He used the bed as support as he stood up, he staggered over to the door and opened it. Peaking his head out the door, he looked for any sign of life in the hallway. "Clear," he muttered to himself and he pulled the hood back over to his face. The shadow of the hood consumed his face and the upper part of his face was engulfed by the darkness, ensuring that no one saw his eyes.
Step after step he walked down the hallway using the wall for support. His eyes looked at the back exit and he opened the door. Snow fell onto his hood and his shoes created a crunching noise when he stepped on the snow. The streets were completely empty and this baffled Naruto. "There is always a fox hunt or two happening," he muttered to himself. He walked down the streets and kept a sharp watch everywhere. His eyes moved side to side and up and down searching for any possible threat to him. He walked for minutes on end and his eye sight went blurry. Pain surfaced throughout his entire body and he coughed up a bit of blood. He turned left and down a dark alleyway. He reached the back wall and laid against it while coughing more blood out. A cold wind stirred and Naruto shivered from the feeling of the frost in the wind tickling his stomach. He look downed at his stomach and saw that his shirt had a massive rip in it, revealing the large scar to any who looked at him.
"Well look who it is," someone slurred out from the entrance of the alleyway. "If it isn't the demon brat, mighty fine number you did on your sister," he slurred in his drunken state. Naruto looked at the man through the shadow of his hood.
"It's strange that a flea ridden man like yourself would recognize me instead of my own mother," Naruto said as the man walked closer to Naruto. The man pulled out a broken beer bottle and drew closer to Naruto in anger. A meaty hand wrapped around Naruto's neck and lifted him up. A fist made its way to Naruto's stomach and Naruto cringed in pain when he felt the scar open a little and blood trickled out.
"What did you call me?" The drunken man said as he lifted the beer bottle to Naruto's neck.
"I called you shit for brains," Naruto said and spat in the man's eye. The man roared in anger and lifted up the beer bottle, prepared to bring it down on Naruto's head. The man gasped and dropped the bottle on the ground. His grip on Naruto loosened and Naruto squirmed free and fell butt first on the ground. The man took a few steps back with his hands covering up the area where his heart is. Blood trickled out of the cracks in his fingers and the man fell to his knees with blood flowing out of his mouth. Naruto looked at the man's eyes and he saw something that made him shiver. Emotions poured out of the man's eyes: shock, confusion, anger and fear.
The man fell face first into the ground, dead. Naruto looked down at his wrist and saw the hidden blade activated, blood covered it and dripped off the blade onto the snow. He took a few deep breaths and looked at the dead man. Nausea overcame him and he hurled onto the ground. Blood and puke sprayed the ground and the snow felt colder than ever under his hands. Naruto weakly lifted his hand up to his mouth and wiped away specks on his lips. His body wobbled as he stood up and started to walk out the alley, he used the wall for support. His head turned back and looked at the dead man's body, blood leaked out from the hole in his chest and a small puddle of blood surrounded the man. He turned his head forward and walked out of the alley.
Naruto walked with caution, his eyes were weary and his body was on full alert. The journey to the Hokage Mountain was treacherous, not physically but mentally. Step after step he walked up the stairs to the very top of the mountain. His eyes blurred as he stumbled to the symbol that was so cleverly hidden by grass and rock alike. He stepped on it and the grinding noise was heard. Naruto walked to the hole in the ground and took the first step down, only to lose his strength and tumble down the stone stairway. His scar opened a little and a gash was made on Naruto's head when he hit the bottom. The grinding noise echoed throughout the room again and the snap was heard when it shut fully.
Naruto snickered to himself as he pushed himself up, "I guess I finally hit rock bottom," he said to himself. He gave a light laugh before wincing in pain. Looking down he saw the scar was slightly open and blood trickled down his lower body. He coughed out more blood before his eyes closed and he was knocked unconscious by the blood loss.
(HOURS LATER)
Naruto groggily opened his eyes and looked down. The scar was healed and dried blood surrounded the area his stomach. "How *huff* am *huff* I *huff* alive?" he asked himself. Kyuubi or not he was curious on how he was not dead. He stood up and wavered for a few seconds before regaining his composure. He spat blood onto the ground and walked to the weapon area, limping and holding his stomach in pain. He rested his hands on the table and looked at the assortment of weapons, his eyes scanned each and every single one. He reached out with his right hand and grabbed onto a cutlass. It was a short sword with a slight curve on it. The steel looked as sharp as if it has never been used. It had a black leather grip with wire twisted around it. The pommel cap was made of black meatal and the D-guard was also made of black meatal. The blade itself was a work of art, made of black metal like the rest of the sword but there was a difference. Where the other parts looked like they were made of regular metal the blade looked like it was made of something not of this world. Light seemed to be absorbed into the darkness and its design was flawless. Bottom of the blade, near the D-guard, there were two black skull; one on each side.
Naruto lifted up the sword and swung it, he was surprised by how it moved swiftly and how it weighed almost nothing. Naruto looked down at the table and saw a twin to the cutlass. He lifted it up with his left hand and admired the swords. "I'll train with these one day. I'm too inexperienced and too young to use swords like these," Naruto said to himself as he placed the swords down on the table. He flicked his right wrist to activate his hidden blade. He looked down at it and saw dry and wet blood sticking to it.
Naruto's mind went bland for a few minutes as the memories of what he did resurfaced. The man's cold, undead eyes were still full of shock and fear as they stared into Naruto's own eyes. Naruto stumbled back and his back hit the wall. He panted heavily and sweat trickled down his head. He slid down the a wall so that he was sitting. He stared at his hands and flashes of blood appeared and disappeared. "What have I done?" Naruto whispered to himself. Tears welled up in his eyes as the man's face kept appearing in his mind. "I proved the village right, that's what I did," Naruto said shakily. He wiped away the tears that threatened to fall out of his eyes. "No, I can't feel pity for a dead man. It was killed or be killed and I did what any other person would've done in that situation, didn't I?" Naruto said and questioned what he said at the end. He slid down the wall until he was sitting and brought his legs up to his chest and wrapped his arms around them while putting his head down.
Naruto didn't know how long he sat there in silence. It could've been seconds, minutes or hours but either way it felt like days. The man's dead face flashed in his mind constantly and sorrow and fear swelled up in him. His body grew numb and his eyes closed, images of the dead man became clearer when he closed his eyes but sleep overcame him.
Blood, that's what covered the deck. Twin cutlasses were in his hand as he parried and killed men in yellow uniforms. They yelled out in a language he could not understand and more came after him. He parried two swords and ducked under a giant ax that swung over his head. He rolled to the right and gave a low sweep to a person in a yellow uniform, causing them to fall on the ground. He jumped up and stabbed them in the chest with his cutlasses. He let go of the swords and activated his hidden blades to parry a sword before he stabbed the man in the chest. A man charged at him with a knife but he blocked the attack, kicked them in the chest and then slit their throat with his blade. Person after person would charge at him and attempt to kill him but they would only die by the cold steel of his hidden blade. The fight lasted for five more minutes before everyone on the ship was dead, the bodies were piled up and blood covered the entire deck. Looking to his left he saw a ship with a black flag on it and a crew of people wearing blue clothing, not uniforms. He looked over the deck and saw the ocean with its waves pelting at the ship. He closed his eyes and the world broke apart into different shapes around him.
"What was that?!" Naruto said in shock as he woke up. He looked around and saw that he was still in the room in the exact same place when he fell asleep. The smell of the ocean still filled his nostrils and Naruto wondered how a dream could be so detailed, his eyes were blurred as he stood up. He flicked his wrist and looked at the hidden blade. The blood was dried now and he stood there, looking at it. The guilt was physically heavy on him as he looked at the blood. "Stay your blade from the flesh of an innocent," Naruto muttered out, remembering the very first sentence in the book he found. He tried to look up but found that he couldn't. His eyes were glued to the blade. Naruto replayed the memory over and over again in his mind. The details on the man's face, the clothing he wore, the bottle in his hand, the way he punched Naruto and, finally, Naruto stabbing him in the heart.
He flicked his wrist and the blade receded. Naruto's face was an emotionless mask as he stepped on the button that lead out of the room. He walked up the steps and walked out of the room, once out the grinding noise was heard and it snapped shut. He put his hood on as he walked down the steps of the Hokage Mountain until he was in the streets of the village. Looking up he saw all the citizens walking around. A rock hit him in the head and made him stumble a bit. Looking to his left, he saw three civilian children wearing brown shorts and white shirts that had different signs on them. The kid who led the trio was throwing a rock up into the air and catching it mindlessly. The leader of the trio snarled a bit when he saw that Naruto looked at him and he threw the rock at Naruto.
Naruto lifted his left hand and he caught the rock, clutching it with an iron grip. He let go of it and it fell to the ground with an audible thud. Naruto heard feet hitting pavement and looking up he saw the three civilian children running at him with their fist thrown back. He side stepped the first kid and chopped his neck, knocking him out. He ducked under the next punch and gave an uppercut to the kids jaw as he stood up. Naruto's right hand shot up and he caught the fist of the next child, he grabbed onto the shoulder with his left hand and twisted the kids arm behind his back. The kid yelped in pain and Naruto let go of his arm and gave a hard kick to the back.
A kunai whizzed by and embedded itself in his right shoulder. Blood spurted out and Naruto grabbed it on instinct. A foot connected with his jaw and set him flying to the right a few feet, right into the dead end of an alley. Naruto looked up to see his attackers and he knew who they were, sort of. They were all genin level ninja with kunai in their hand, Naruto counted how many there were. "Twenty, damn it," Naruto muttered under his breath and he yanked the kunai out of his shoulder. Blood poured out of the wound and Naruto gasped in pain. A genin wearing black pants, a short-sleeved black shirt, and shinobi sandals walked up to him and lifted him by the throat. Naruto was about to flick his wrist so that he could activate the hidden blade but when he looked at the face of the genin he didn't see the genin's face, he saw the face of the man he killed. His eyes widened in fear and the genin snickered.
(Little gory, if you can't handle it skip to SEAL section)
"What's the matter demon, scared," he said in a mocking tone. He pulled out his kunai and stabbed it into Naruto's left shoulder. It went straight through the shoulder and embedded itself on the wall behind Naruto. The genin pulled out another kunai and stabbed it into his right shoulder so that it also embedded itself into the wall behind him. Naruto gasped in shock and pain as blood splattered onto the floor. The genin stepped back and stood next to his fellow shinobi. "Have at it," he said while pointing at Naruto's hanging body.
Multiple whizzing noises echoed through the alley, kunai after kunai embedded itself in Naruto. Seconds felt like minutes and minutes felt like hours. Pain flared throughout his entire body when they were done. The genin from before stepped up and looked at Naruto and laughed at the boy. Naruto had a kunai in every single place in his body, besides the no go zone and above the shoulders, and blood leaked out of holes the kunai made. Naruto looked like a sponge that was soaked in blood and kunai.
"Come on guys, we're done here," the lead genin said, his shoulder length silver hair waved in the wind. "Genius plan Mizuki," "Why didn't we do this before, Mizuki?" the genin said as they started to walk out the alley, leaving Naruto to hang from the wall with multiple kunai in him.
Time slowed down for Naruto as he looked up at the genin. Am I going to die here, Naruto thought to himself, is this my punishment for killing the one man? He asked himself as more and more blood trickled down his body. His eyes grew dark and his breathing became heavy. "I don't want to die, I want to live," Naruto muttered out, and that's when it started.
Hate flared in his veins and memories of every beating over the years all piled into one. A genin who heard what Naruto said earlier turned around and sneered. "Too bad," he said and he threw a kunai at Naruto. Time moved even slower for Naruto as he looked at the kunai aimed directly at his face. The hate continued to grow, becoming stronger with every millisecond. The hate grew so intense that it felt like Naruto was literally boiling from the inside. An orange aura leaked out of the holes in his body until it fully surrounded him. His eyes went from blue to glowing red, his whisker marks became feral, and he grew fangs from his teeth.
"I WANT TO LIVE!" Naruto shouted and air exploded from his mouth, causing the kunai to stop midair and fly back to the original owner, who caught it.
(SEAL)
"I WANT TO LIVE!" a voice screamed through the sewers and cage. A predatory smile entered from the darkness of the cage and red eyes opened up. *RRRROOOOAAAARRRR* it gave its mighty roar and it echoed everywhere in the mind.
(REALITY)
Naruto's body started to release pressure and the kunai shot out of his body back at the genin. He fell onto the ground feet first and placed his hands on the floor. A hissing noise was heard and steam left from Naruto's body as the holes started to slowly heal up, not leaving a single scar on his body. He looked up at the now scared genin and gave a predatory smirk. His body lunged forward with the hidden blade out at the first genin he saw, he was out for blood.
A yellow flash appeared in the middle of the alley and a figure emerged from it. He grabbed Naruto's arm and flung it to the back of the alley. Naruto looked up at the attacker and saw none other than Minato Namikaze the Fourth Hokage, his 'father'. Naruto lunged forward, planning on fighting the man in front of him. Naruto went to stab him with his hidden blade but Minato grabbed Naruto's arm and placed a seal on his forehead. The orange chakra receded back into Naruto and Naruto fell to the floor, knocked out. Minato picked up Naruto and slung him around his shoulders and teleported away.
The genin sighed in relief that they wouldn't be in trouble. Then the anbu dropped down with kunai in their hands. "Oh fuck," was all that Mizuki said as he and the rest of the genin were taken in for questioning.
(SCENE CHANGE)
Minato teleported in the middle of the Hokage office with Naruto still strung around his shoulder. He placed Naruto in a metal chair and tied him in with ninja wire. A knock was heard on the door. "Come in," Minato said. The door opened and Kushina Uzumaki walked in.
"Minato, is everything all right. I felt the chakra of the Kyuubi and I was wondering of Mito's seal was still weak?" Kushina asked her husband who shook his head no.
"It wasn't Mito, it was this child right here," Minato said and pointed at Naruto who was tied in the metal chair. "Can you do me a favor and get Inoichi and Ibiki in here?" Minato asked. Kushina nodded her head and walked out the door.
Four-five minutes passed and Naruto stirred, his eyes opened up as Inoichi and Ibiki walked through the door. "Hokage-sama, you asked for us," they both said.
"Yes I have, I need you to find out everything you can on this boy," Minato said as he pointed to Naruto who turned his head to look at them.
"I'm on it, sir," Inoichi said. He sat down with his legs crossed and raised his hand so that it was in front of Naruto's head. Chakra started to form on the base of the hand and he transferred his mind into Naruto's own mind.
(MIND)
Inoichi walked down memory lane and started from the very first memory, birth. He witnessed everything, the orange masked man attacking, the Kyuubi being set free, and having the soul of the beast sealed into the boy. He skipped a few years to four and the child was running from a mob, they always caught up with him and would leave him in a state that would leave most shinobi unfit for duty the rest of their life. He watched every single beating that happened on a daily bases for the four years of the child's life. The child would attempt to talk to his parents who would ignore him and try to teach Mito about being a shinobi. He came across a barrier, he slammed into the barrier but it didn't budge. He skipped those memories and went to the one that came directly after those memories, which was now. He was at the end of the memories and he walked in front of a cage, a roar was heard and he was flung backward.
(REALITY)
Inoichi opened his eyes in shock at what he saw. The child was the center of all the hate for the Kyuubi from the civilians. He groaned and rubbed his eyes as a headache started to form. Minato held a hand out and Inoichi took it gratefully, he was pulled up to his feet. "How are you still alive," Inoichi asked Naruto, who just sat in the seat. He didn't move, just sat there while the shadow of his hood covered his face.
"I ask myself that question every day," Naruto said, his voice was as cold as ice.
"What's your name?" Ibiki asked as he stepped in front of Naruto.
"Its captain piss off," Naruto stated and spat blood into Ibiki's face. Ibiki wiped the blood off of his face with his leather glove and looked at Naruto.
"Now you asked for it," Ibiki said and he raised his fist to punch Naruto but Inoichi grabbed his arm and prevented him from doing so. Ibiki looked at Inoichi and saw that he was shaking his head no.
"Minato, pull the hood off and you'll, hopefully, know who it is," Inoichi said to Minato.
Minato stepped forward so that he was in front of Naruto and he placed his hand on the hood. He pulled it back and stared in shock. Minato felt like he was looking at a carbon copy of himself, only with whiskers and younger. Naruto's blond hair was matted with blood and his eyes were a deep blue, but were uncaring. "N-Naruto," Minato stuttered out when he saw the face of his son.
"Good job, you answered the question of the hour. What is the name of your only son?" Naruto said sarcastically with anger in his voice. There was a snap and the ninja wire that held Naruto in the chair fell off of him. Naruto stood up and gave his arms and legs a small stretch. He pulled his hood over his head and the shadow covered his face again. "If you want details on why I was in an alleyway then just ask the mind reader, he can give you a very detailed explanation of what happened," Naruto said and he walked to the door and left the office.
He walked down the hall way and passed Kushina and Mito, his arm accidentally bumped into Mito's but he kept walking. "Sorry," Naruto said as he walked away. Mito stopped walking and looked behind her and saw Naruto descending the stairs, a sense of familiarity overcame her. A hand grabbed hers and pulled her forward.
"Come on Mito, we need to get an explanation from your father," Kushina said and they walked into the office. Inoichi and Ibiki stood in front of the desk and Minato was sitting in his chair with his hands on his head as he looked down in shame. "Did you find out who the boy is?" Kushina asked Minato since she didn't see the boy in the room.
"He was Naruto," Minato muttered out from under his breath, no one heard him speak though.
"Who was it, I couldn't quite here you," Kushina asked.
"Naruto, he was Naruto," Minato said. "Our only son," he added on as he looked up at her, guilt in his eyes.
"Naruto, but he doesn't have any of the Kyuubi's chakra so it couldn't be him," Kushina said, not believing what Minato said.
"Well he was!" Minato snapped at her, everyone was shocked that he just snapped at his wife like that. Realization of what he did dawned on him. "Sorry, but it was him. I don't know how he had its chakra but he does. Inoichi, explain why he was in an alleyway," Minato said.
"He was being beaten, or that's what I can assume," Inoichi said to Minato, who raised an eyebrow at what he said.
"What do you mean?" Minato asked his friend.
"There were certain memories that were blocked from the past few days but from what I could gather of what has happened since he was four, then yes he was most likely being beaten," Inoichi said, Minato had a look on his face that told him to continue. "Ever since he was four years old, Naruto was being beaten on a daily bases by the civilians of this council since he held the soul of the Kyuubi. Every single day he would be beaten and the villagers would just leave him in a state that would leave most shinobi crippled for life or unfit for duty. After the beatings a lone anbu member would find him and take him to the hospital where he would stay there for a few hours and then leave. This has been happening for the past four years," Inoichi took a deep breath when he was finished explaining.
Minato and Kushina both had a baffled look on their faces and Mito looked confused. "Why didn't he come and tell us about the beatings?" Minato asked and Inoichi had a look of anger in his eyes.
"He did go to you two. For three years straight he went and asked for help but you just waved him off saying that he was overreacting and you would go back to training Mito," Inoichi said. The parent's eyes widened at what they had done and tears started to swell up in Kushina's eyes. "If you'll excuse me, I have places to go," Inoichi said and walked out with Ibiki trailing behind him.
"What have we done?" was all Kushina murmured out before she fell to her knees.
(WITH NARUTO)
Naruto was in the house again and stuffing clothes in a bag, once finished he zipped up the bag and walked out his room. He walked down the hallway and turned left, opened a door and walked into a large library filled with scrolls. Naruto walked down the book cases and spoke out loud. "Used, used, used, used. Ah, unused," Naruto said as he pulled out a bunch of storage scrolls, he opened up the bag and placed the scrolls in their while taking a few jutsu scrolls at random from the library. Once done he walked out the room, went down the stairs, and walked out the house. He opened the gate and walked toward the direction of the Hokage Mountain.
His feet kicked a few rocks out of the way when he made it to the top and he stepped on the button. The grinding noise was heard and Naruto descended down the stone steps. The grinding noise echoed throughout the room and a snap was heard, the door was closed. Naruto threw the bag onto the ground and unzipped it. He pulled out a single storage scroll and unrolled it on the ground. He walked up to the weapons table. One by one he created a small pile of one of each weapon on the scroll. "Seal activate!" Naruto said, nothing happened. "Uh, seal work," he said and nothing happened. "I should've thought this through more," Naruto said when he realized he didn't know how to seal it. "Okay, I've seen ninjas use the scrolls to seal their kunai and they didn't say a single thing so what did they do?' Naruto asked himself. Seconds passed and he smacked himself on the head. "They used chakra, something that I still don't know how to use. Wait, I've used chakra before. An hour ago I had orange chakra surround my body," he said.
Naruto sat on the floor and pondered on what that chakra could've been. Realization hit him like a bull. "Kyuubi," he said and he looked down at his seal. "But how? I only have its soul," he continued, trying to find an explanation. He decided he'll find that out later, right now he needed to pack as fast as possible. He placed his hand on the scroll and thought about what brought the Kyuubi's chakra out. "Hate is what brought it out the first time, so hate will bring it out a second time," Naruto said. Images flashed through his mind, all the beatings and his family. The hate boiled in his veins and orange chakra started to steam out of his body. His hair went frizzy, his whiskers became predatory, small fangs grew from his teeth and his eyes turned blood red. Naruto looked around the room and noticed that his senses were better than perfect. He could see the dust particles in the air and could smell baked bread from a bakery that was miles away. Naruto looked down at the storage seal and noticed that there wasn't a small pile on it anymore, it sealed. Naruto pulled out another scroll and repeated the same steps he did before with the jutsu scrolls. A poof was heard and the storage seal absorbed the scrolls in. Naruto pulled out the final storage seal and walked up to the robes, he placed the scroll under the one that had the leather jerkin on it and repeated the process from before. The robes poofed out of existence. Naruto rolled all the scrolls up and placed them in the bag. The orange chakra faded from his body and Naruto felt weary.
Naruto looked down at the bag and realized something. "I just used the chakra of the strongest Bijuu to seal a simple scroll. Saying that out loud makes me sound way more stupid then I realized," he said as he slung the bag across his shoulder. He walked up to the button and pressed on it. The grinding noise was hear and Naruto ascended up the stairs and into the open world. The grinding noise was heard again and there was a snap. Naruto walked down the stair of the Hokage Mountain and walked down the shadows of the alleys in Konoha. He stopped near the exit of one of the alleyways slumped against the wall. His eyes were drooping and sleep sounded like heaven to him.
"Did you hear about what the demon brat did?" a gruff voice asked from outside the alley.
"No, what did he do?" another voice asked.
"Apparently he killed an Iwa spy who was in a drunken state. The body had a letter on it that went into details on how the secrets of Konoha were needed. The Iwa spy was more than likely living in Konoha for twelve years," the gruff voice said.
Naruto blocked out the rest of the conversation and though about what he heard. He killed an Iwa spy who was living in Konoha and was stealing its secrets for years. That information, however, didn't ease any of the guilt in Naruto's mind but he blocked out any of it and continued on. He traveled alley by alley until it was night and he was near the entrance to Konoha. He glimpsed out of the alley and looked around. "No guards," he muttered out and hugged the wall of a building as he neared the entrance. There were two shinobi in a small booth but they were both asleep. Naruto crept past them and walked away from the huge gates of Konoha.
Naruto walked and walked until it was around twelve P.M when he realized something. He was free from Konoha.
(WITH NARUTO'S FAMILY)
Kushina walked up the stairs to the second floor of the house, she walked up to her son's door and knocked on it. "Naruto, can I come in?" she asked there was no response and after a few minutes she placed her hand on the door knob and opened the door. The room was empty. The desk had nothing on it, the closet was opened and all the clothes were missing and there was no one on the bed, just a note. Kushina walked up to the note and picked it up. Tears ran down her face and she ran out the door to find Minato. The note fell back onto the bed and it read.
I can't believe I almost died by my sister's hand just to save people I haven't considered family in years. Good bye and good riddance, hopefully forever.
On the bottom of the note was the capital A that was missing the line in the middle and a curved line was under the symbol. This was the symbol that changed Naruto's life so much in the past few days, the symbol that made him gain the guts to leave everything behind, the symbol that taught him more than his parents, the symbol that started his story…The symbol of the Assassins.
AUTHORS NOTE (IMPORTANT)
Hey guys, sorry that this chapter was short. I wanted to make this chapter 10,000 thousand words or more but this seemed like a good place to end. So, by the time you all are finished reading this you will realize that I chose Naruto to go with the Edward side, only because majority of the vote went to Edward. Now, to those who wanted him to be like Connor, don't fret. I decided everyone will have the best of both worlds. Halfway through the story, when I figure out when that will be, Naruto will switch his personality. I won't say how he'll do it or why he'll do it but I just want everyone to know that he have both of the Kenway's personalities in this story, not at the same time though. I do not own Naruto or AC, if I did I would hurry up with the fillers in the Naruto show and return to the big battle. I would also give Connor or Edward another game since they are both bad asses. I hope you all have a good day.
