Ras al Gul

When the team returned from Bialya, Megan helped Kaldur regain his memory. He didn't remember what happened in the temple. The apple must have clouded his memories during that time span, but it's only a matter of time before he remembers.

After the mission in Bialya, I had a lot of questions. The only person who could answer them was Marcus. When I reached the café, I ran into a boy whom I had rescued in the park recently. The boy stood and stared out the café window.

"Hi, there," I said to the scared kid.

"Hi," hesitantly said the boy.

Suddenly, the boy's stomach started rumbling. He tried to walk away, but I grabbed him by the shoulder.

"Have you ever eaten ramen?" I asked.

The boy only shook his head. I smiled and opened the door to the cafe. "Well then you can't go without eating. Let's go."

Upon entering the cafe, I got us a table. "Wait here. The food will be here soon," I said heading to the kitchen.

Before long, I was back with two servings. I put the dishes on the table and sat beside the boy, waiting until he tried it. I always love to watch people the first time they try ramen. The boy took a fork and tried a bite.

"This is the most delicious thing in the world!" he exclaimed and then he blushed because of his behavior.

I couldn't help it, I laughed. "Ha ha I'm glad you liked it. My name is Naruto."

"Jack," said the boy and quickly began to eat ramen.

"You live in a shelter?" I asked.

"I did, before it was closed a month ago," Jack said and picked up the bowl to drink the soup.

"Want another?" I asked.

Jack just nodded. "Here take mine," I offered and slid my bowl of ramen over to him. Jack only nodded again and quickly began eating the noodles.

Then Marcus came walking in through the inner door. I immediately noticed that he was using a cane. Jack didn't even notice him and continued to eat.

"Marcus we need to talk," I immediately said to him. Marcus took one of the chairs and sat down across from me.

"Usually people say hello before asking me about something, Naruto," replied Marcus. "Honestly, your manners could use improvement. Who is your friend?" he asked and pointed at Jack.

"My name is Jack and I can introduce myself," Jack said and drank the broth.

"Well then, tell me about yourself, boy," he said and leaned back in his chair.

"Well..." Jack hesitated not knowing where to start.

"Hahahhah," the old man laughed, "Yes you can."

"Don't laugh," Jack loudly replied. "My name is Jack. I'm twelve years old and I'm an orphan and living on the streets of Gotham. So stop making fun of me, you old wreck."

I had already started laughing at that point.

The old man raised his cane and struck us both in the head. "Young people nowadays have no respect," said Marcus, with a very stern look.

Then I noticed that Jack was about to say something , and quickly covered his mouth with my hand. "You don't want to offend the old man. Right Jack?" I said and looked at Jack. He only nodded.

The old man looked at Jack and said "If you want to live here, I have a spare room upstairs, but you have to help me with the cafe if you want to stay."

"I can stay here?" Jack asked, eyes wide with surprised and excitement.

"Yes, if you want..." everyone was caught offguard as Jack ran to and hugged him. The old man was surprised at first and then patted the boy on the head. "Okay here's the first task. Go wash the dishes while I talk to Naruto."

"I'm on it," replied Jack with a grin. He took the dishes and ran to the Kitchen.

When Jack disappeared through the door Marcus looked at me. "What was it you wanted to talk about?" he asked.

Then I immediately remembered the reason I was there. "You knew my ancestor killed the Assassins?" I asked.

"Yes," replied Marcus. I expected that he would say something else but he was silent.

"When were you going to tell me?" I wanted to know why he had kept this from me this whole time.

"It doesn't matter. You're an assassin and that's what is important," said Marcus and rose from his chair.

"This matters to me," I shouted.

Marcus ignored me and went into his office.

"Why don't you want to tell me?" I asked, already angry.

"Because you're not ready for the truth," shouted Marcus, "When the time comes you will know, but not now."

Disillusioned, I left. I still had to meet with Edward and so I headed into the lair of the beast.

Marcus walked into his office and sat down in the chair. Kurama appeared before him. "You know he deserves to know the truth."

"He's not ready, If he finds out what I did then he is unlikely ever to forgive me," he said and pulled out the drawer in the desk photo. It was a woman with red hair and a baby in her arms. And next to her stood Marcus smiling. "I'm so sorry Kushina," said Marcus into the void.

I quickly got to the bar and sat down opposite the bartender. "You want something to drink?" he asked.

I only shook my head. "Call Edward," was all that I said.

After a couple of minutes, Edward showed up. This time he didn't have his guards. He approached the bar and sat beside me. "Pour me a beer, Frank," he asked the bartender.

"Yes boss," replied the bartender and poured a beer.

"Your latest trick with the car broke the record for hits on the Internet," he said and took a sip of beer.

"Yes and because of that, I'm wanted by the police in Star city," I replied.

"What was it you wanted to talk about, Naruto?"

"After my stunt with the car, the Russians have left their territories for the most part. Because of this, Star City will probably experience a nasty gang war over those territories."

"Why are you telling me?" he asked again.

"If someone will take these territories themselves. Someone from Gotham," I said and looked at Edward, "That war can be avoided."

"Even I don't have enough money and people to control two cities simultaneously," Edward said and drank his beer.

"I'll supply the money, but you have to find the people," I replied.

"Where's the money from Naruto?" he asked, "As I recall you're not a relative of a rich man like Wayne or Luthor."

"Well it's not my money, It's money from the brotherhood," I replied.

"Brotherhood? What is that?" he asked.

"I wanted to talk to you, " I said, and pulled out my hidden blade, giving it to Edward.

"Our task is the protection of people from bad men, such as Black mask or Penguin and other bastards. But few know we exist. I want you to become part of it," I said.

"You are something like the Justice League?"

"We are much older than the Justice League," I replied, "And we're not afraid to do whatever is necessary to protect people."

Edward took a heavy sigh and drank beer. "So when do we start?" he asked and looked at me.

"Someone named Kurama will send you all the information and open access to the bank account," I said and stood up. "I have to go. I have a plane in Tay Bay."

"Good luck," Edward said and ordered another beer. "What? I can't drink in my own bar?" he asked the bartender. He only shook his head.

After my parking garage adventure in Star city, police opened a case against me. Punching a car through the second floor of the cafe was too much for them to overlook. So orders came down for arrest. Oliver offered to help me, by having me leave town for a few days. He asked me to go to Tay Bay and look for a red arrow. Luckily, Oliver owned a private plane.

The flight to Tay Bay lasts two hours and I decided to take a nap.

I was in an unknown place. I was in a struggle with someone. She was a brunette with brown eyes. From her facial features, I could tell that she had Asian roots. I lunged forward and knocked her sword away. Instead of surrendering, she came in tight and tried to punch me in the face. I grabbed the hand put my sword to her throat.

"I won," then I realized that he said it.

"You learn fast Arashi," she said and kissed him. I was involved as he loosened his grip. She quickly took advantage of this and threw it over his shoulder.

"But you still have quite a few things we need to work on," she said and smiled at him.

"Jessica, it's not fair," Arashi began to pout at her laughter.

"If you fought with my mother, she would have killed you by now," she said and helped him up.

"Well you're not Lady Shiva," said Arashi and kissed her. Then I woke up.

Opening my eyes, I looked out the window. I saw the plane was about to land. After the mission in Bialya, I had been plagued by these dreams. So I wanted to find out who this Arashi is. According to Kurama these were the memories of his ancestor and that he will not cease to see them until he sees Arashi's life come to an end. When this will happen, Kurama doesn't know.

Kurama hacked the security system of the airport and I didn't have to pass the passport control. Officially there are no papers about me here. I took a taxi and went to the apartment Kurama found for me.

Once inside, I opened the closet and pulled out my uniform. I quickly changed clothes and decided to get in touch with Kurama.

"Kurama you can find Roy Harper?" I asked and climbed out the window and up onto the roof.

"He is now in the middle of the peace talks," said Kurama, he sent me the coordinates. Quickly reaching the town center, I descended into the lane, took off his mask and activated the cloaking. The costume now created the illusion that it is a regular apparel. It was a new upgrade made by Kurama. So it was much easier to get lost in the crowd.

"Naruto, I just caught a radio signal from Roy. He spoke with Kaldur. It looks like Cheshire is here."

"Well this should be fun," I thought and came in closer to the center where the Prime Minister and the General were meeting. If Cheshire was here, she would surely try to kill one or both of them. As if on cue, a limousine drove up to the center bearing the mysterious arbitrator for this round of talks. I saw the flare of something big firing and looked to see Cheshire on top of one of the nearby kiosks holding a rocket launcher.

"The goal is not the Minister or the General," I realized.

"Everybody, Down!" I shouted and put on my mask. Fortunately, Roy fired an arrow at Cheshire's shot and the rocket flew up into the air. The people in the square started to panic. Cheshire descended from the kiosk and ran toward the limo. The guards that tried to stop her had no chance.

But she didn't notice as I crept up from behind. I pointed my dart gun at her. "Hi, Cheshire."

"So you survived from last time," she said and turned around. The wayward missile crashed into the kiosk.

I was distracted, and Cheshire was able to knock the gun out of my hands. She tried to attack me with her sai. But I took over using my hidden blade. She wanted to use a smoke bomb to escape. But I used the hook blade and threw it over my shoulder. She didn't expect that. Soon she was lying on the ground with my hidden blade to her throat.

"Stay," I said and noticed that Roy was standing in front of me and pointing his bow at Cheshire. Here they began to be surrounded by guards. From the Limo emerged the mysterious arbitrator. It was that damn Lex Luthor.

Cops picked us up and put handcuffs on me, Cheshire and Roy. During this time, I could better examine Cheshire. She probably had Asian roots but apparently her father or mother were from America.

Cheshire was put into a police car. They also wanted to take me in, until one of the policemen received a phone call.

"Yes, sir," said the policeman before hanging up, and ordered the others to remove my handcuffs. "The Commissioner has ordered to release you. Sorry for the inconvenience."

"What about my friend?" I asked, pointing at Roy.

"The Commissioner only ordered your release," replied the police. He wanted to leave already when Lex stepped in."I think I can vouch for him. He saved my life after all."

"I don't need your help, Luthor," angrily replied Roy.

The only one who could pull sway over a Roy of police was Kurama so I decided to ask one more favor. "Kurama contact the Commissioner. Have him tell the police to let go of Roy."

"Already did," replied Kurama and the policeman's phone rang again.

"Yes sir. Understand," replied the policeman and ordered to take the handcuffs off Roy as well.

"I am not fooled by your nice act, Luthor. I know who you are," Roy said and walked closer to Luthor.

"I'm not pretending that I'm an angel," replied Luthor, and turned, walking to the side door of the building where the peace talks were going on.

Roy and I entered the building with him. Even from the entrance, they could hear how the Minister and the General were yelling at each other.

"Why do you want peace?" I asked, "Your company sells weapons to both sides."

"Yes, and why would they trust you?" Roy added.

"The money that I receive is nothing compared with what I will get from investing in peace in Rhelasia," Luthor answered both questions. "Peace is a good ideal to strive for, especially if I'm cashing in on it."

"Naruto, put one of the beacons that I gave you on his aid," said Kurama, "don't ask why just do it." I quickly came up with a plan for how to do that.

"You can't live up to those lofty expectations," I said stepping closer so he could not see when I planted a bug on his assistant. "The Shadows are determined to mess up your plans."

"And who was the target, you or the talks?" Roy asked, looking in the direction of where the Minister and the General stood. "And who cares?"

"I could hire both of you to find out," Luthor said and smiled.

"I want no part of your bloody money," Roy replied to Luthor.

"And you there, mysterious hero in a mask. Don't you want my money?" Luthor asked me.

"I don't want your money," I replied, "But you'll owe me a favor," Roy looked at me as if I just killed some kittens.

"Agreed," replied Luthor, and held out his hand. I held out my hand in response. "Find out who hired the shadows and why."

"You can't negotiate with Luthor," shouted Roy.

"I already agreed to do it," I said and walked towards the exit, "I need to talk to Cheshire, watch Luthor until I get back."

"I'm not your assistant. I don't have to listen to you," said Roy, and went after me.

Deciding that it was easier not to argue with him, I simple nodded. "I'm going to the police station, I'll meet you there," I said and used a rope dart to climb to the roof. The rope dart had quickly become indispensable to me for movement on the roofs. Quickly getting to the station, I walked inside. The police didn't try to stop me.

Quickly observing the security camera feed for Cheshire's cell number, he went inside. She practiced some katas that looked complex but graceful. "You know this is our third date. Next time, I pick the place," I said stepping closer to the bars.

"I prefer restaurants," she said without ceasing to practice the techniques.

"Maybe for starters, you can tell me your name, or should I call you Cheshire?" I asked.

"And you tell me yours?" asked Cheshire.

"I was taught to be polite," I said and walked closer to the bars.

"Why are you pretending to be a hero?" suddenly she asked me.

"But...that's not a usual question" I replied.

"You're a murderer as I am but you're holding back," she said and stopped practicing . "Then at the Internet cafe you could have killed me today too."

"Maybe I like you," I said.

Cheshire came closer to the bars pressing against them with her breasts. "Are You trying to hide your true self from them?" She said as she took my mask and looked deep into my eyes. "No need to hide from me" and she kissed me.

I kissed back. Cheshire was right in a way. I didn't like to lie and hide from everyone and only she could see what I was hiding. I doubted that Barbara or Jim would understand. It was at this point Roy Harper decided to enter.

«What are you -" Roy wanted to say but stopped.

I stopped the kiss and stepped away from the bars. "Right on time," caustic sarcasm apparent in my voice.

Roy decided to leave it for later and did ask me something.

"Get any information?" he asked.

"I was in the process?" was my best answer. I turned to Cheshire and then noticed that she sat up on her knees and clung to the bars. "Oh, sh..." and then there was a bang.

Roy and I were thrown to the side. I stood up with some effort and saw Cheshire blow me a kiss and run away . Roy ran to the roof hoping to catch her and I remained in place.

"Kurama show the signal from the beacon which I installed on Cheshire," I said and then picked up his mask from the floor and put it on. Inside the mask, an image appeared pointing the direction of Cheshire's escape.

"Naruto, why did you ask her name?" asked Kurama "I can tell you that information."

"Think of it as a game Kurama, between me and her," I replied .

"People, I could never understand them," Kurama muttered.

"Roy can you hear me?" I asked on the radio. But no one replied. "Looks Like he went after her alone," I thought and headed for the beacon signal.

I got to a Buddhist temple. But Roy was nowhere in sight. The beacon signal was coming from the center of the temple. Once inside, I found that the beacon was lying on the altar.

"You're a little late, your friend is already gone," a voice replied from the darkness.

I immediately activated my hidden blades. Then from the shadows came a man. He was wearing a green cloak and suit. He had green eyes and brown hair with gray on the sides. I recognized him immediately, it was Ras al Ghul.

"You can take your mask off. I I already know who you are," said Ras and fully emerged from the shadows.

"How?" I asked, surprised.

"In Bialya when you killed the soldiers with the help of the Apple, you dropped your mask," replied Races to his question. "I never believed in reincarnation before I saw you," he said and came closer to me.

"What are you talking about?" I asked again.

"You are an exact copy of Arashi," he said enthusiastically.

Arashi is the name that had haunted me for a week. Kurama refused to look for information about him and the old man didn't want to talk. Maybe Ras al Ghul could answer my questions.

"Can you tell me about him?" I asked fearing that Ras would say no.

"If you want to learn about it, you have to earn that information."

"If you want me to killed Luthor, the answer is no," I quickly replied.

"No, no, quite the contrary I want you protected him," said Ras and took a good look at me.

"WHAT?" very confused, I asked my mind racing. First I met Ras al Ghul. I thought he was going to kill me, but he wanted to talk and now he wants me to defended Lex Luthor, who hunts the League. "You can just cancel the order and the League of assassins will have to retreat. You head them damn it!" I shouted.

"This will be your first lesson and mission," said Ras and slowly began to retreat into the shadows, "You must learn to obey my orders without question. Cope and I'll tell you about Arashi," then Ras threw him a sword and disappeared in the darkness.

It was a wakizashi but a little more than usual. Pulling the sword from its sheath I saw the inscription in Japanese. The mask had a translator. I translated the inscription. "Flying thunder God," it said.

Then from the shadows came two murderers. They rushed at me without warning. It was the first time I fought with swords. But I knew what to do. I dodged the first attack to one side and released the assassin hidden blade, reaching around and sinking it into his throat.

The second tried to stab me in the back but I managed to turn and block the blade. I hit the killer's head and broke his concentration. Then I jumped high and brought the sword down on him. The killer tried to block the blow with the sword but it broke. I made a huge incision on the breast of the murderer and he died immediately.

Wiping the blood off of the sword, I went to the center. I needed to talk to Roy and protect Lex.

"Naruto, Roy contacted Aqualad and asked for his help," reported Kurama. "And I have good news."

"What news?" I asked and stopped on one of the roofs to rest. I leaned on the wall and sat down. "Edward seized the territory the Russian left behind. Now old city has avoided a faction war. "

"That's good. Any more news?"I asked.

"You remember I asked you to put a tracker on Luthor's Secretary?" said Kurama and began to transfer information through the mask. "So it turns out she is an android and I was able to hack into her."

"She's what?" I asked and stood up.

"Android, I was able to hack in and get access to all the data on Lexcorp," answered Kurama. "And I can now constantly monitor the Luthor."

"This is really good news Kurama," I replied and decided to get up and continue on my way. I slowly made my way into the building and hid on one of the beams from above. Roy and Luthor stood together but where was Aqualad? Then he saw Cheshire, she was dressed like a waitress. Using a variant of x-ray vision on the mask, I saw that the cart which Cheshire pushed was equipped with a hidden bomb.

"It's over, Cheshire," said Aqualad, pulling out his swords. Cheshire smiled and activated the bomb. She tried to push past Aqualad but he used water to surround her and the cart separately. At the same time Roy shot an explosive arrow at the bomb. The explosion caused a shock wave to ripple the water, but the shield held.

"It's all over Cheshire," Roy said and pointed an arrow at her.

"I don't think so," she said a helicopter came zooming in and from which sprang obici League with Sportsmaster in the lead.

"Probably time to intervene," I thought and came out of hiding. I took out my dart pistols and started shooting. "You and Aqualad take the Sportmaster and I will get Cheshire," I said to Roy, holstering the guns and drawing my sword.

"So where's our next date?" asked Naruto and stood in a fighting stance

Cheshire must have decided not to answer my earlier question, she rushed at me. I blocked her blows but one of the killers decided to intervene. I used the hook blade and hooked his clothing. Slinging him around with it, I threw the assassin at Cheshire. She was able to dodge but got distracted. I moved in and pushed her shoulder against the wall, driving her into a corner. I pulled out a dart gun attempting to shoot her when out of the corner of my eye. I noticed that one of the killers creeping up behind Aqualad. Spinning around and drawing my other gun as well, I made two shots at the killer.

Cheshire quickly moved away from the wall and stood next to the Sportsmaster. Roy shot at the ceiling and activated the fire safety protocols, setting the sprinkler system off. Aqualad made quick use of this water forming it into a dragon shape. Cheshire pulled out a smoke bomb and threw it into the dragon's mouth the explosion causing it to collapse. The room was covered in a smokescreen. One of the killers tried to attack the delegation, but then Luthor's assistant transformed her arm into a weapon and shot at the killer. He died instantly. When the smokescreen cleared, the League of assassins had escaped.

"You saved our lives Luthor," the minister said as he came closer to shake Luthor's hand. "Yes, thank you," the General said and came closer.

"He saved their life?" said Roy. His voice tinged with resentment.

"It's unimportant, Roy" I said and walked over to him. "What matters is that now he will be able to help make peace."

"I'm concerned with the way things went down here. Is it possible someone on the team could be a traitor?" asked Kaldur, looking at Roy and I.

"That would be me, in a way," I thought.

"You tell the others your suspicion?" Roy asked Kaldur.

"No, it hurts the team," replied Aqualad. "You and I will have to find him, Naruto."

"Yeah, but right now I have to go do something," I said and walked away.

As soon as Naruto left, Roy looked at Kaldur and said, "I don't trust him."

"Why?"

"When he fought with Cheshire, he moved like a trained killer," Roy replied and looked in the direction in which the Naruto left.

It turns out Tai Pei actually had a Zeta tube (which Green Arrow forgot to tell me about). Quickly finding myself in the Star City, I went to the docks to my warehouse base. Once inside, Kurama appeared in front of me. "I I have to show you something," he said and turned on the monitor. It was a video which was recorded by the assistant of Luthor. One video file was of Lex and Ras.

"Our plan worked," Lex said and handed Ras drink.

"So another corner of the world is to see the light," replied Ras.

"Caught ya," I said and smiled. Now I knew that Ras al Ghul and Lex Luthor were part of the organization. But that was bad. Two influential men united by one goal, and there may be more.

"Naruto, we need to talk," said Kurama.

"About what?"

"If we don't act soon, I will die," replied Kurama.

"Explain," I said seriously and stood up from my chair.

"During the cataclysms which destroyed the first civilization, my main computer was damaged. I can't get it to work. But out there," said Kurama and touched his tail to the screen.

"I need your help to make repairs. I can use the Apple artifact and record my consciousness in your DNA," Naruto triple helix DNA appeared on the screen, "because of the fact that you have DNA from the first civilization, you can survive the procedure."

"Are there any other options?" I asked and began to consider a piece of DNA. I had a lot of questions but first I needed to help Kurama.

"I went through thousands of them and only this will more or less be able to save me," said Kurama, "I can't transfer my consciousness into the human media. Not a single hard drive will not sustain the amount of information that I hold. And I have no time to create something that would suffice."

Losing Kurama would be a severe blow to the brotherhood. In addition, I considered Kurama to be a friend. The answer was obvious, "What should I do?" I asked Kurama.

"Come to the Apple. I'll do the rest," said Kurama and disappeared.

Entering the room where the Apple lay. I walked up to it. Kurama appeared in his fox form and touched the Apple. Suddenly Kurama appeared to be sucked into the Apple and it began to glow. Then a beam of light flew out of the Apple and crashed into me. I was thrown to the wall and lost consciousness.
