It had been 4 years since Naruto had taken control of the clan, in that time he had brought Valerica back to the castle, destroyed the dawnguard, (Killing Isran personally) married Serana, and trained more fledglings. Right now the 25 year old vampire was following up on a rumor that a child in Windhelm was attempting to call on the dark brotherhood.

He had just broke into the kids home when he heard chanting and the sound of a blade stabbing into wood. "Sweet mother sweet mother send your child onto me for the sins of the unworthy must be baptized in blood and fear."

Standing behind the boy Naruto made some noise by knocking on the wall. The kid turned around with the biggest grin the vampire had ever seen. From what Naruto had been able to understand this kids name was Aventus Aretino, his parents were dead because of the remaining Imperial soldiers hiding in the lands, he had been sent to the orphanage in Riften, and he ran away for unknown reasons.

"You came! You actually came! The dark brotherhood." Naruto was confused at first but stayed silent. 'Maybe i can get him to tell me why he was calling on a group of highly trained assassins if he believes that I'm one of them.'

The grin didn't leave the kids face as he spoke. "That's okay you don't have to say anything, you're here so you'll accept my contract."

Naruto continued to stay silent throughout the entirety of the conversation. He had learned that Aventis wanted the main care taker at honor hall dead, all he said was that her title as Grelod the kind was false, now he was on his way to Riften by use of his beast form.

When he was just outside of the town he reverted back to his regular form, snuck into town, and into the orphanage.

Sticking to the shadows Naruto was able to listen to everything said and it disgusted him. Grelog was a kind old lady in public but was an abusive old hag when she believed no one was watching.

She had beat each child in ways that bandits refused to do to adults and then threatened worse to those who didn't finish their chores or tried to tell the guards.

Naruto was now more than willing to kill this bitch. As soon as she had gone into her room he snuck in behind her. Using his magicka to soundproof the room Naruto began torturing the woman.

The next day the secondary caretaker had found the woman nailed to the wall naked with horrifying scars and bruises all over her with the words 'Abusive bitch' cut into her stomach, a swirl burned into her forehead.

(Scene change)

Naruto had returned to Aventis place and told him that Grelod was dead to which the kid had attempted to pay him with his only heirloom but Naruto refused it and gave the kid a pouch of gold coins. "Go get some food and water kid, you need to build your strength for your trip to honor hall in a few days, let them clean up the mess before you get there."

The vampire left and made it as far as Riverwood before he was intercepted by a currier. "There you are, I've been looking all over for you. Got a letter for you, some mysterious fellow in a hood. The guy payed me a heavy sum to make sure that this letter reached you."

The currier handed the vampire a letter then walked away. Naruto opened the letter and saw a handprint on it with 2 words under it saying 'We know'. The half breton dovahkiin went to the local inn, ate his fill of bread, cheese, lamb chop, and tomato soup with tankards of mead, then rented a room. 'I'll find out who sent out this note tomorrow, right now i need to sleep.'

(Scene change)

Naruto awoke the next day in an odd place that seemed to be cabin like in appearance but also abandoned. To his left was an empty bookshelf that had a single person on top of it, to his right he could sense 3 people on there knees and all of them feared for their lives at the moment.

"Ah, you're awake, this is good." Through his groggy vision the half breton could see the woman had an obviously enchanted dagger in hand, she was subtly fiddling with it which meant she was nervous, probably did some research on her target. "I'll get straight to the point, your little stunt with butchering that old hag was an offense to me and my group. You stole a kill but you impressed us by being able to kill her in such a brutal way without being caught so i have decided to give you the option to join us, become a member of the dark brotherhood. To do so you must pass a test. Their are 3 people with bags over their heads in this room, talk to each of them, find out which one has the contract on their head and kill them, do that and I'll give you the key to this place and both the location to our hideout and the pass code to get in."

Naruto took a look into each person's head and was disgusted. "So i have a cowardly sell sword, another abusive bitch, and the ringleader of a human/drug trafficking group… they all die." The vampiric dragonborn used fire ball to incinerate all 3 of them.

The woman chuckled. "Well aren't we the over achiever. Go to Falkreath, travel south of the cemetery to a door with a skull on it, and when it asks you the question 'What is the music of life?' you will answer with 'Silence my brother.' Inside you will find a family that understands you." Naruto nodded then left.

(Scene change)

Naruto stood in front of the door he was told about. He felt a bit of foreign magicka enter his mind. "What is the music of life?" The half breton answered quickly. "Silence my brother"

The magicka seemed pleased. "Welcome home." The door opened onimusly. Naruto was paranoid now but also interested. "Kurama, keep that magicka signature in mind for later, may come in handy to remember later."

Kurama nodded. "Ok kit, I'll take note of it for later." The half breton used the detect life spell, it noticed 6 humans and a frostbite spider.

When he got down stairs he was greeted by the woman from before. "Ah you made it here in tact, this is good news indeed. Here, these are for you." The woman handed him a set of folded up dark leather armor with a set of boots and gloves/gauntlets on top. "This is our uniform, since the beginning of our order it has been called 'shrouded armor', the whole thing is specifically designed for stealth from the materials used to the enchantments placed on them."

She pointed to the boots. "Those have a sneak enchantment that disperses any sound you would normally make evenly so as to completely silence your footsteps, even while running."

Next she pointed to the gloves. "These are enchanted to steady your hands for close up kills with daggers, swords, or any other melee weapons you can think of."

Next she pointed to the cowl. "This was enchanted to make your eye sight like that of a hawk so you may hit your target with more accuracy."

Finally she pointed to the actual armor. "And this has been enhanced to strengthen your immune system so that it makes you be able to resist the effects of most poisons and diseases."

With a small smirk she spreads her arms out wide. "Welcome to the family."
