Chapter 2: Rebuild

* One Week Later *

Raphael sighed as he entered the Third Hokage's office. Raphael closed the door and then walked to the desk and stopped a few feet away. Raphael looked at the Hokage for a couple minutes in Silence when he saw him look up and heard " Yes?" Raphael sighed then said " I want to rebuild the Creed and would like to rebuild it in Konoha." Raphael saw a nod from Hiruzen then heard " What I remember is what you told me about your Creed and I already have a spy network and you won't kill anyone on my order." Raphael nodded, then said " Your spy network focuses on threats against Konoha by villages or some other things." Raphael saw another nod so he said " My network will focus on criminal threats and corruption. This will be spanned across all lands including Fire so your government is corrupted and you have information you could give for trust." Raphael saw another nod then heard " Ok but the information goes straight to me." Raphael nodded and then heard " Also I want to know who you're recruiting and I can decline them if I want." Raphael nodded since it was fair when he said " Ok well to let you know I am thinking of asking Naruto but I haven't decided." Raphael saw a nod then heard " Tell me when you decided but I don't mind. He needs something in his life for purpose." Raphael nodded with a smile then sighed and said " Do you also know a blacksmith I could ask to build the components of my hidden blade." Raphael saw a nod then after hearing Hiruzen explain where the black smith is and the Biju including what Naruto is holding in him.

Naruto groaned as he was waiting for Raphael then after a couple more minutes in silence he said loudly " It's been an hour where he is." " Kid, keep it down." Naruto looked at a woman who was 17 with purple black hair wearing a mesh shirt with a brown jacket and a skirt. Naruto sighed and said " Whatever." After a few more minutes in silence Naruto's eyes widened but before anything else could happen Naruto screamed in pain as a kunai went into his shoulder. Naruto just stood up as a Konoha ninja jumped down from a tree and the ninja said " Die demon." Naruto pulled out the kunai and just sighed when he saw the girl knock out the ninja. Naruto smiled and dropped the kunai then said " Well that was the nicest couple of hours." Before the girl could say anything, Naruto looked forward to seeing Raphael walk up and heard " What happened here?"

Naruto looked at Raphael and just sighed when he heard " I already know and I assume he attacked you." Naruto nodded and just saw a nod then heard " Well I can carry him away." Naruto looked at the girl and nodded, then said pointing at her " Raphael sensei this is Anko." Naruto looked back at his sensei and saw a nod then heard " well let's start with strength and speed so run around the opening five times then do twenty push-ups and twenty sit-ups. Naruto nodded then did what Raphael said. A few minutes later Anko returned and started teaching him to climb trees with chakra.

* Ten Hours Later *

Raphael breathed heavily as he leaned against a tree when he looked up seeing Naruto practicing his taijutsu on a dummy when he heard " man you have never used chakra." Raphael chuckled as he nodded, then he looked up at the sun seeing it was going behind the mountains so he said " I should return home." Raphael saw a nod then heard " Same time tomorrow." Raphael nodded, then said " Yea." Raphael saw Naruto fall to his ass then he said " I am exhausted." Raphael chuckled then said " Good job and come tomorrow to work on it."

* Six Months Later *

Raphael chuckled as he saw Naruto stand up after being knocked down by Anko again. Raphael smiled and said " Naruto don't get upset, you have come a long way in six months." Raphael saw Naruto nod and then heard " Same as you." Raphael nodded and said looking at Anko " Yea with your help but I was wondering why you still helped me and him after your mission ended." Raphael saw Anko smile then heard " Had a feeling." Raphael nodded as Naruto walked to a bottle of water. " So I was wondering if I could give you my thoughts about this Creed you told me about that you want to rebuild." Raphael nodded then heard " Well what you told me what your plan is. I think it's a bad Idea not to use jutsu you might not want to learn but other members should just in case you get into a big fight jutsu goes a long way but also there are jutsu that would be really good for recon like the Shadow Clone Jutsu. Raphael nodded knowing what it was then said " Ok I understand but I don't know a lot in jutsu so why don't you help me but I first need to train you."

Raphael saw Anko shook then heard " But what have I done to want you to ask." Raphael chuckled and said " Truth when we talked after that mission. You have the skills but the Brotherhood is more of a family with a job."

* Flash Back *

Raphael smiled as he walked, thinking of Anko, his friend and someone he cares for and how far Naruto has come in the past 5 months. Raphael then shook his head with a chuckle thinking when he had Naruto groceries because all he owns is ramen and how he is splitting fifty percent of the bill for Naruto's groceries with Naruto so he could save. Raphael sighed with a chuckle when he could hear crying. Raphael stopped and looked around as he was just at the edge of the opening when he saw Anko. Raphael walked up to Anko, her not noticing him and set a hand on her shoulder making her look up.

Raphael smiled sadly and said "What's wrong?" " Nothing." Raphael sighed at Anko's words as she whipped away the tears on her cheeks so Raphael sat down and said " Anko what is wrong?" Raphael heard a sigh then heard " The mission I went on well we stopped to set up camp and I went to go get firewood when the people who we were looking for attacked me. I found out one of my teammates sensed them and used me as bait." Raphael grew angry but took a deep breath and said " Why would they do that?" Raphael didn't get an answer for a few minutes when he heard " Do you know about Orochimaru?" Raphael nodded knowing he is the biggest traitor of Konoha. Raphael sat there for a couple of minutes in silence when he heard " I am an orphan, my parents abandoning me and when I became a genin my sensei was that snake bastard but that is not all. After that he taught me personally I became his student which was a dream come true to be taught by a sonene. I was his student and that stupid seal he gave me reminds me of what he has done. Everyone hates me thinking I am a traitor." Raphael just nodded remembering the seal on her shoulder and after a few seconds he chuckled and said " The people who are hated seem to be the kindest people in the village." Raphael heard a chuckle from Anko then heard " Go on." Raphael just chuckled then said " I will wait for another day."

* End of Flashback *

Raphael saw a smile from Anko then heard " Well I still haven't gotten another compliment." Raphael chuckled, then stood up and said, looking at Naruto, " Keep on training, I will be back." " I want to train him in chakra control and start on jutsu if you don't mind?" Raphael just smiled and said " I don't mind." Raphael then looked at Naruto and nodded, then left heading to the Hokage tower.

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed as he looked at a paper for civilian housing to be expanded at the north part of Konoha where ninja training grounds were. Hiruzen was loyal to his sensei and would never disrespect him but he hated that he created this civilian council. Hiruzen looked up as he heard his door open and sighed seeing Raphael. Hiruzen waved to Raphael and then said " What have you learned?" " I am not here to talk about that." Hiruzen was a little surprised as Raphael comes to his office at least three times a month and ever since Raphael has been in konoha he has got to work building a spy network and getting to work.

Hiruzen heard a sigh from the Assassin and then said " I would like to recruit Naruto and Anko." Hiruzen nodded and said " Ok but I want to know why?" Hiruzen saw a nod from Raphael then heard " Well I have thought of Naruto and he doesn't know anything so it will be easy to train him also like you said he needs someone and well for Anko she is just a friend and I could use her help do to including jutsu into training which is weird for me." Hiruzen nodded again then sighed and said " I don't mind but I want reports on Naruto of how it is going if you don't mind." Hiruzen smiled a little, seeing a nod, then saw Raphael leave.

Naruto looked at Raphael as he walked back into the opening and after seeing Raphael nod to Anko he saw Raphael walk up to him. Naruto looked up at Raphael when he heard " Can we talk?" Naruto nodded and then heard " Do you remember the Brother I used to be a part of that I told you about?" Naruto nodded again then heard " Well I am rebuilding it in Konoha and would you like to join?" Naruto's eyes widened then he looked down remembering what Raphael told him how he is going to kill when he heard " You can take time to think about…" Naruto interrupted Raphael by looking up and said with a grin " Can I still become a ninja." Naruto heard a chuckle then heard " Yea." Naruto smiled then he looked up and after a few more seconds he looked at Raphael and said " I want to learn how to use a bow." Naruto saw Raphael become shaken then after a minute of silence he heard " You know what, sure I can see what I can do."

Raphael smiled seeing Naruto give a huge grinning at him when he heard " Hokage-sama wishes to talk to you?" Raphael turned around and saw Anbu and just nodded, then said facing Naruto " We will start training either tomorrow or if it's a mission when I return." Raphael saw a nod so he smiled and walked off.
