Blade in the Shadows

by Leonineus

Naruto goes to Uzushiogakure because Jiraiya made a promise to his mother on her deathbed that he would take him there when he was old enough. There he finds the remnants of the Assassin Brotherhood, and takes up the mantle as the Grand Master. NaruxHarem

Blade in the Shadows

(A/N: Ladies and gentleminions, I have an announcement to make, half being bad news and half being good news.

The bad news: As of now Blade in the Shadows is officially abandoned. I've had a think and decided that in its present state it is nowhere near the level of detail I'm now accustomed to putting into my fics; it pretty much constitutes "recruit-train-assassinate-fight" in this condition, and that is nowhere near good enough as far as I'm concerned. This is also the reason for my six-month-plus blockage where Blade is concerned.

Now, the good news. I'm rewriting it. This time, Blade in the Shadows will be far better, so look out for it! A few quick details for you:

The story starts a lot earlier in the rewrite; the members of the Brotherhood are a little different and the pairings aren't quite so massive, more widespread this time; I'm also going to be putting a lot more into how the Assassins operate and such, as well as adding much more detail into their skill set, no more of the "absolutely-everything-straight-off-the-bat" that I had in the original.

I think that's enough information for now, so I will say goodbye until the first chapter airs.

Also, for those who follow my other works; I only just started the new chapters for Jutsu and Maelstrom, so those will be a little while coming depending on how much inspiration I get and how quickly. Reign is the current leader at 4k words or so, so that might be along sooner.

Until then folks; Leonineus, OUT!)
