Chapter 2. Jump City

It had been one whole day since Naruto killed James King. In that time, he and his mother had spent that time together as a family. They had dinner, laughed and talked about everything that was going on in their lives. Doing this, allowed Naruto to see the true extent Minato and Mito's death had on Harley.

She was no longer the sweet and playful woman she once was. Now Harley had a heart of stone and was Gotham's biggest crime boss. Though Natuto still loved his mother, and besides who was he to judge? After all, he was a trained Assassin who probably killed more people than Harley's whole criminal operation.

Currently, Naruto and Harley were inside a large black limousine, which was headed for Jump City. Naruto tried to convince Harley that he would be fine on his own, but his mother insisted. She loved her son and she would do anything to help him.

Naruto was sitting across from his mother on an expensive leather seat. He was dressed in his street clothes, which was a skin tight black muscle shirt and pair of matching cargo pants. Overtop of his black shirt, Naruto also wore a black and orange zip up hoodie. Naruto finished his ensemble off with black and orange sneakers.

By his feet, Naruto had two black bags. One bag had all his spare clothes and necessities. While the second carried his League of Assassin's uniform and gear.

Harley was dressed in tight blue jeans, a white crop-top and a black leather jacket. While having Mito's necklace tied around her neck, which still had her and Minto's wedding rings attached to it.

"You know, I could have made it to Jump City on my own. I'm the best Assassin the League has had since father and Ra's. I was perfectly capable of taking a train to Jump City." Naruto grumbled, while crossing his arms.

Harley giggled and grabbed a drink from the minibar beside her. "Am I such a bad mother for wanting a little extra time with my baby boy?" She asked with fake sadness. "After all, I haven't seen you in eleven years."

Naruto looked to the window and sighed. "I guess not."

Harley smiled and took a drink from her glass, before placing it down. "That's what I like to hear, oh and puddin." Naruto looked back to his mother. "Check the right pocket on the left side bag."

Naruto titled his eyebrow and bent down to the bag. Unzipping the pocket like instructed, he was hit with a wave of confusion. "What gives mom, the pocket is empty."

Harley smacked her head and laughed. "Aw, I'm such a ditz. I meant my left not yours." She explained, causing Naruto to form a sweat drop.

Shaking his head, Naruto moved to the bag on his right. Then doing as instructed once more, Naruto pulled out a wallet, checkbook, cellphone and a deed to a building.

"What's all this?" Naruto asked, as none of these items were his.

"The wallet has your new credit card and fake ID, along with two thousand bucks in cash. The checkbook is for you to write any checks, if the situation calls for it. While that deed is for the apartment I bought for you in Jump City, you need a place to stay after all." Harley explained with a large grin.

Naruto nodded and started to place the items back. "And what is the cellphone for?"

"Calling your mother of course, and don't worry I placed my number under six different contacts and four speed dials." Harley explained happily.

"That's wonderful, but how are you able to do this? Fake ID's, money and a freaking limousine! I thought you became Gotham's new crime boss, but all this is surprising." Naruto voiced his opinion rather loudly.

Harley giggled. "You forgot puddin, me and you are still billionaires. See I'm not like most of those brain dead morons in Gotham. Before I started my organization, I created a few fake identities and transferred everything I and your father owed to them."

"Hiding your assets." Naruto mumbled, surprised by his mother's explanation.

Harley nodded, glad her son caught on. "Yup, the cops can't take a company, house and money that you don't technically own. Though I must admit. Running a criminal operation and a multi-billion dollar company, can be quite exhausting." She then leaned over to her son and pointed to her face. "I mean just look puddin, I'm already getting wrinkles. I'm only twenty one for crying out loud."

Naruto had a sweat drop on the side of his head. "Sure mom, you're as young as you feel." The blond mumbled with false sympathy. Though his attention was brought back to his bag. Remembering what his mother told him, Naruto fished out his new wallet and fake ID. "I forgot to check, what's my new name now? I have to admit, I got use to being called Thaealab."

Harley smiled ear to ear and placed her hands over her lap. Naruto who looked at the ID, had a small twitch in his eye.

"Really mom?" The blond sighed.

Harley nodded her head and started to laugh. "Yup!"

Naruto shook his head and looked down at the fake ID. "You know, the whole point of a fake ID is simple. It's used to give you a new identity so you can hide your real one."

"I know that Puddin cup! That's why I had one made for you. It would be bad if people found out if my son was alive and not missing anymore." Harley explained.

Naruto pinched the bridge of his nose and started to massage his face. "Sex, male. Height, 6ft 1in. Age, 18. Oh, at least you changed that. And the best part of it all! Name, Naruto Quinn!"

"What? I changed your last name too!" Harley whined. "I also had birth certificates, high school diplomas among other things forged."

"You kept my first name! And you changed my last name to your criminal persona!" Naruto shouted in disbelief.

Harley got a fake tear in her eye. "I just wanted you to go by the name I gave you." The blond haired mother admitted, as she whipped her fake tears and smiled wide. "Besides, what's the fun in playing everything safe!"

"Well for one it goes against everything the League and Ra's taught me. You know, staying in the shadows and out of sight is what assassins do!"

Harley waved her son off. "Don't stress the small stuff, your smart enough to handle yourself. Besides we should talk about an alibi for you. You know like a day job to help conceal your other activities."

Naruto nodded and decided to temporarily forget about his new identity. "Alright, after everything you've done so far. I would assume you have that department covered also."

"Smart like his mommy." Harley praised as she handed Naruto two keys. "The first key unlocks your new store. While the second unlocks the apartment above said store."

"Work and home close together, makes life even better for me." Naruto spoke with a small grin, while taking the keys from Harley. "What's the store?"

"It's a book store." Harley chipped happily, giving her son an eye smile.

"A book store?" Naruto repeated with little enthusiasm. "Out of everything possible, you picked a book store."

Harley's face shifted into a small pout. "Now listen here buster. Who is the biggest crime boss in Gotham?"

Naruto sighed and rolled his eyes. "You are mom."

"And who has thought of every possible angle that you and Ra's didn't plan for?"

"You did."

"Who knows how to conceal illegal activities?"

"You do."

"And who is the fairest of them all?"

"Do I really have to answer that?" Naruto grumbled.

Harley crossed her arms and lifted her eyebrow, giving her son a cold icy glare. One that only the most intimidating of mothers could give.

Naruto looked down and held his hands up in defeat. "You are the fairest of them all."

Harley smiled and placed a hand over her heart. "Aw, my puddin is such a charmer. You'll make a lucky girl happy one day."

"Yeah, I'm sure all the girls love a trained assassin. Who has an over protective criminal mother." Naruto deadpanned.

Harley smiled and held a finger up. "You also own a book store!"

Naruto rolled his eyes. "Yeah that just screams ladies man. Besides you never explained why you decided to give me a bookstore to run."

"That's easy, one a book store takes very little work to maintain. All you do is set books out and wait for people to buy them. Secondly, most people who read books either order them online or digitally. So really, you have a failing business that no one will ever visit." Harley explained with a serious tone. "Which is perfect since you have all the time to focus on your other activities. And you won't need any of the money from the store. You know, cause you're from a filthy rich family."

Naruto was surprised, never in a million years would he expect his mother to have everything so well planned out. "Mom you are a genius." The blond praised with wide eyes.

Harley lifted her eyebrow and smirked. "Did you expect anything different? I didn't become the biggest crime boss in Gotham because I'm pretty. I had three PH.D.'s before I meet your father and retired from Arkham."

Naruto smirked. "Retired only to become a resident."

Harley matched his smirk spot on, as the mother and son were almost copies of one another. "Cheeky little brat, just like his mommy!" Harley bent over and hugged her son. "I love you so much!"

"I love you too mom." Naruto replied, right as he felt the limousine come to a halt. "Looks like we are here."

Harley smiled and jumped out off the vehicle. "Time for the all exclusive tour!" The older blond shouted, as she marched towards Naruto's new home.

Naruto watched his mother and slumped over. "Yay." The younger of the two mumbled, as he grabbed his bags and left the limousine.

Coming outside, Naruto couldn't help but smile wide. "I like the name." Naruto spoke to his mother, while looking at the name of the bookstore.

Harley placed her hands over her hips and smiled, proud of her work. "Mito's Bookshelf, does have a ring to it."

"Yeah it does." Naruto replied, taking a little more pride in his new store now.

"Well don't just stand there, go open the door." Harley instructed with a small laugh.

Naruto pulled out the key to the shop, and with little hesitation he unlocked the door. Instantly, he was smacked with the aroma of books. Both new and old. Though as he entered his new store, Naruto had to admit he was impressed.

The store itself was quite large, with enough room for several book cases and even a small second floor. Which was a balcony slash reading area for customers. Naruto also noticed a large service desk, that had a large closed door beside it.

"Follow me!" Harley giggled as she grabbed her son and dragged him to the closed door.

Naruto followed his mother, who practically kicked the door open. Allowing Naruto to see a small office, which he presumed was his. He also noticed a large stairway leading upstairs, which he figured lead to his new apartment.

"This is your office Puddin, and over there is the staircase that leads to your apartment. I didn't know how much space you needed, so I bought this building to be safe. It consists of ten bedrooms." Harley informed with a large grin. "Oh and time for my favorite part!"

Naruto followed his mother with a slack jaw. "Ten bedrooms?" The blond mumbled.

Harley stopped at a large bookcase and held her hands out, and waved them around the bookcase. Doing so in a way that made the bookcase look more important than it was.

"And now for the best part and your surprise!" Harley began as she grabbed a book and pulled it forward. Causing a click noise and the bookcase to slide to the left. Revealing to Naruto and Harley a large elevator.

"What the hell?" Naruto gasped in surprise.

"Come on! No time to waste Puddin cup!" Harley declared before dragging her son into the elevator and pushing a button.

The elevator closed shut and started to move down. Then after a few seconds, a ding went off and the doors slide open. Revealing a large command center under the store.

Harley skipped happily inside, while Naruto stayed at the elevator. He was too shocked to even move.

"State of the art technology, curtesy of Namikaze Enterprise." Harley began as she walked passed the dozens of computers in the room. "A full training area with weights and practice dummies, a storage area to keep your sword, bow, arrows and uniform and to top it all off." Harley plopped down on a large chair. "The most cozy ass chairs money can buy!"

Naruto couldn't believe his eyes, he couldn't believe any of this was real.

"Oh and I got you a motorcycle!" Harley added while, sounding more pleased with the chair than the bike.

"Mom this is all too much." Naruto gasped in shock, unable to believe his mother did so much for him. "You must have spent a small fortune."

"I did, good thing I have a large fortune." The crime boss joked, before standing up and walking to her son. "Naruto, I missed eleven of my child's birthdays. I missed eleven of my child's Christmases. I missed your and Mito's whole childhood. Here is me making up for that."

Naruto let a small tear roll down his face as he brought his mother into a large hug. "You don't have to make up anything, I love you mom." Naruto pointed out.

Harley returned the hug and started to cry, but she still had a large smile. "I know that, but I wanted to give you and Mito the world. Though after everything that has happened, I believe this is a small start."

"It's perfect, at least you didn't go overboard and buy me a giant cake." Naruto laughed, causing Harley to join in.

"Yeah that would be silly, that why I bought eleven cakes." Harley explained with a loud laugh. "They are all in your apartment!"

Naruto smiled and shook his head. "Well let's go get some cake then, I'm starving after all."

(The next day)

Not too long after Naruto got settled in his new apartment, Harley had left her son. After all she had a criminal organization in Gotham that needed her attention. So now, started Naruto's first official day in his crusade for justice.

He started his morning by waking up at 5am, for an early day workout. This was a ritual he became accustom to during his time in the League of Assassins. After his morning workout, Naruto went up to his apartment and made himself breakfast.

Making himself a small bowl of cereal, Naruto strolled into his living room. He was shirtless with nothing besides a pair of sweatpants and a towel around his neck. He then took a seat on the couch his mother had bought him, as she was kind enough to fully furnish his new apartment.

Placing his cereal down onto a table in front of him, Naruto grabbed a remote and flicked his TV on.

"Greetings, this is Jane Summers with channel 6 news. You are currently joining us live as we cover the Teen Titans battle with the criminals Mammoth, Gizmo and Jinx."

Naruto listened to the news cast and paid interest to the live video feed. "The Teen Titans, these are the heroes of Jump City I've heard of."

Naruto analyzed the video with a calculated eye. Watching with little surprise, as a young green skinned teen morph into a T-Rex. Said T-Rex rushed at the criminal Mammoth and tackled the large male into a building.

"Beast Boy, can shift into any known animal. Though looks like he uses his abilities to attack head on. A well placed arrow or one laced with a tranquilizer agent would be enough to take him out." Naruto pointed out, grabbing his spoon and starting to eat his breakfast.

Back on the camera feed, Mammoth grabbed Beast Boy and tossed the teen away, displaying his remarkable strength.

"Strong." Naruto noted, though he spoke a little too soon as a blue beam of energy slammed into Mammoth and knocked him back. "But strength is nothing when you're slow."

Naruto's attention was then placed on the individual who attacked Mammoth. Said teen unleashed a loud booyah, causing Naruto to roll his eyes.

"So that's Cyborg, half human half machine." Naruto continued to enjoy his cereal, while paying little attention to the news feed. "Enhanced strength, computer implants and energy cannons. The more crutches one has, the more it hurts when they are taken away. After all, a sword and arrow never loose battery life."

Naruto looked up to the TV with a smirk, just in time to see Gizmo latch onto Cyborg's back. "My point exactly." The blond mumbled, watching as Gizmo begin to mess with Cyborg's wiring. Forcing the teen to fall over defeated and unable to move.

Though before Gizmo could move another inch, several projectiles flew at the teen and impacted his backpack. Causing his gear to explode and send him rolling off Cyborg.

Watching this, Naruto was interested as he watched the next Titan.

"Robin; the Boy Wonder. Team leader, who was personally trained by Uncle Bruce." Naruto mumbled, already knowing who Batman was thanks to Ra's and his daughter Talia Al Ghul. "He seems skilled, but he telegraphs all his moves. Easy to predict and even easier to beat."

Naruto then watched as the villain known as Jinx attacked Robin. She used some kind of energy wave, which destroyed a building by the Boy Wonder. Causing said building to topple over top of him. Though before Robin could be crushed, Starfire flew in and saved him.

"The alien princess Starfire, she is a little different than the others. Super strong, can fly and can shoot green blasts of energy. However, looks like helping her team is her weakness, one which anyone could exploit."

Naruto watched as the Titans grouped up around Cyborg. While they were doing this, the three evil teens were regrouping as well. Though this proved to be a poor choice, as a large metal beam coated in black energy wrapped around all three villains.

"Now this is interesting." Naruto mumbled as he watched a female float above the three restrained teens.

She was wearing a blue cloak with a hood, with matching blue ruffled ankle-boots. Under her cloak she wore a leotard-like long-sleeved shirt that was blueish-black with cuffs at her wrists, which were the same blue color as her cloak.

As she floated down onto the ground, the camera was able to get a solid look at her face. She had very pale, almost gray skin. Which made her appear somewhat demonic. Her eyes along with her short hair were a beautiful violet. Finally she has a red and black bindi on her forehead. Looking at the teenager, Naruto could only think one thing.

"Beautiful." Naruto gasped, completely forgetting that he was analyzing each of the Titans. In fact, the young assassin found himself looking to the teen in a trance. "So that's the fifth Teen Titan, Raven."

"And there you have it! The Teen Titans successful save the day again! This is Jane Summers signing off."

Naruto grabbed his remote and clicked his television off. Then as he laced his hands together, the blond began to think. "Five super hero teenagers, they could pose a future threat. I could take them all out, but that wouldn't be needed."

Naruto grabbed his empty cereal bowl and started to walk to his sink. "My goals do not involve them, but if they choose to become a nuisance. Well I already know how to defeat them. All except one." Naruto mumbled, placing his bowl away and thinking about Raven. "Perhaps I should learn to control my power?"

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx

(Later that night)

Night had fallen on Jump City, causing most of the towns degenerates to come out of hiding. Drug dealers, muggers and other all started to swarm the streets. The Teen Titans never bothered with these type of crooks, they left them to the police.

The Titans focused more on the bad guys which cops couldn't handle, this was so the group of teens wouldn't get overwhelmed by fighting crime.

Though now there was another teen patrolling the streets, but he wasn't fighting crime. No he was on a manhunt.

Naruto, who was garbed in full League of Assassin's gear. Jumped from building to building, occasionally using his bow to shoot an arrow with an attached line to cross large distances. His goal was simple, find, interrogate and kill Mizuki Sato.

However, there was a problem with finding Mizuki. This problem was that Naruto was unfamiliar with Jump City, he had no clue where anything was and he has no contacts to assist him. Regardless of his situation, Naruto was able to find the one of the many docks where Mizuki could possibly be operating from.

Naruto didn't know if he was in the right place, hell he didn't even know what this Mizuki character looked like. What he did know, was he could see multiple shady figures moving crates around at the docks. So he was gonna stop by and say hello.

Jumping off a rooftop, Naruto ran in the cover of shadows. He quickly moved on-top of a large stack of metal storage crates. Hunching low to the very most top crate, Naruto began to count the number of men he spotted.

"Seven guys, all moving large wooden crates of something." The blond mumbled, before sneaking down to one of the wooden crates and cracking it open. "Drugs, well at least I know I'm on the right track."

"Hey what the hell are you doing!" A masculine voice shouted out.

Naruto slammed the crate shut and activated the device he used to deepen his voice. "Which one of you is Mizuki Sato!"

"Never heard of him." The man replied, holding up a shotgun to Naruto. "But you're a dead man."

Naruto barrel rolled into cover, just in time to avoided a buckshot to the chest.

"So that's how we play." Naruto replied from behind a metal crate, while grabbing his bow and drawing back an arrow.

Naruto peeked around the corner with great speed, and before the man could even blink. An arrow blazed straight into his throat, killing him with little effort.

Though Naruto was forced to duck and run, as the other six criminals started to fire shots at him. One clipped Naruto's shoulder during his run, causing him to growl in pain.

"Cowards weapon." Naruto grumbled, before leaping over top of some concrete and crouching for cover.

"Jason, frank, go flank the bastard's left and right!" A male ordered in a stern voice.

"Not having any of that." Naruto mumbled, as he tossed a several smoke bombs over the concrete blocks. Allowing himself to be concealed from his current attackers.

The six men stopped moving, but they continued to fire their guns into the smoke. However, two men were dropped dead, as two arrows flew out of the smoke and into their eyes.

"Wanna know the best part about a bow and arrow? They don't give off a loud noise like a gun, makes it impossible to detect through a fog of smoke." Naruto snickered so the thugs could hear him. "But your buddies found that out the hard way!"

"Damnit, you stupid heroes thinking you can come and do whatever you want!" A goon shouted before unloading his gun into the smoke.

An arrow went whizzing through the air, and impacted the man's back. Poking through his heart and out his chest.

"See I'm no hero, a hero wouldn't kill without any remorse." The voice of Naruto came from behind them. Making the three criminals left alive turn on their heels. "I'm an assassin!"

"Where are you!" One of the three shouted in fear.

"What I want is simple." Naruto spoke up, his voice now coming from their left. "I just want information on one Mizuki Sato."

"We don't know any Mizuki-.." The man was silenced as an arrow went into his throat, causing him to fall over.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. That was not the answer I was looking for." Naruto began, right as another arrow flew into the chest of another criminal, leaving only one left alive.

The man looked down to his slaughtered gang and started to freak out. He dropped his gun and took off in a dead sprint towards the city. Hoping, no praying someone would be able to save him.

Though before he could even move two feet, a black blur blinded his vision. Followed by the pain of a sharp object in his chest.

Naruto looked into the eyes of the dying man with his own cold and lifeless ones. Then without any remorse, Naruto jerked his sword out of the man's chest. Allowing him to fall over dead.

"Well first night out on the town." Naruto began as he touched the bullet wound on his shoulder, which was bleeding through his uniform. "And things did not go the way I wanted them too."

Naruto then strolled off. Planning to head home, patch himself up and think of a new strategy of finding Mizuki and possible leads connected with his family's murder. He had a long road ahead, and Naruto didn't even know what he was truly getting into.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx

(The next morning, Titan's Tower)

It was a normal morning in the Titan's home, Beast Boy and Cyborg were sitting side by side playing video games. Starfire was floating around the kitchen cooking some kind of strange meal, which was moving and making gurgling noises. Raven was sitting a few feet away from Beast Boy, she was in a mediative pose while reading a book.

"Dude where did you learn to play games, you are awful." Beast Boy teased, while leaning over to his friend with a large smirk.

Cyborg glared at his friend for a moment, but as a large blast went off in the game, he laughed victoriously. "Don't go celebrating yet BB, we all know who the video game king is!"

Raven looked up from her book and rolled her eyes. "All hail our king." The teen mumbled unenthusiastically. "Now would you two be kind enough to keep it down, I'm trying to read."

"Come on Raven, don't be such a grouch. Put the book away and come play with us." Beast Boy offered, holding the controller to her.

"Pass." The teen replied, placing her eyes back to her book.

Starfire flew over to her friends, a large smile on her face and a plate of slop in hand. "Friends, I have made the breakfast!"

Beast boy, Cyborg and Raven looked at the so called breakfast. They all had to placed a hand to their mouth, that way the could resist to urge to vomit.

"That's ok Star, me and BB already had a big breakfast!" Cyborg lied quickly.

"Yeah we should have told you." Beast boy added, right as his stomach growled and he chucked nervously.

Starfire looked disappointed. "What about you friend Raven, would you like the breakfast?"

"Yeah I'm not eating that." Raven replied in a brutal, but honest tone.

"Oh I see." Starfire mumbled, right as she started to eat some of the slop on the plate.

Raven, Beast Boy and Cyborg all looked to their teammate with looks of horror. Each one of their mouths were wide open and twitching, all the while Starfire happily ate the disgusting meal she cooked.

"Dude how is she eating that?" Beast Boy whispered to Cyborg.

The half teen half machine shrugged his shoulders. "Guess she has super strength and a super stomach." He replied quietly.

Raven looked at Starefire and shuddered, as the girl dug into the slop. "Gross." The teen muttered, before returning to her book.

Suddenly the elevator, which lead to the exit of the building, opened wide revealing the team leader, Robin. He looked on edge, like something was disturbing him.

"Beast boy, flip the TV to channel 6." Robin demanded as he walked into the room.

"Um ok?" Beast Boy replied in confusion, turning off his and Cyborg's game and doing as instructed.

As the TV came on, the Titans were greeted by a female news reporter sitting at a desk. A headline was rolling across the screen, it read 'New Hero or Possible Villain?'

"Robin what is going on?" Raven asked, wanting to get down to the point.

Robin held a finger up to silence her. "Just watch and then we can talk."

"Greetings citizens of Jump City, if you're just now joining us allow me to explain the current situation. Last night seven men working for a local drug trafficking operation were as the cops phrased it, brutally murdered. Six of the men had arrows lodged into their bodies, while the seventh had an entry wound that resembled a large blade."

"Dude what is going on?" Beast Boy gasped in surprise.

Robin narrowed his vision onto the TV. "Just keep watching."

"These criminals were thwarted and killed by one individual, and we have the surveillance video of the whole ordeal. Now there is no audio and we must warn our younger viewers, this is very graphic. Though after watching this clip, ask yourself. Does Jump City have a new hero, or a possible villain?"

The clip started to play, showing all seven men moving crates around the docks. So far no possible vigilante could be identified.

"Whoever this guy is, he is good." Robin began while pointing to the screen. "It looks like no one is there, but he is perfectly blended into the shadows."

"Woah I see him!" Beast Boy shouted, as he noticed the outline of Naruto's boy hidden on a rooftop in the shadows.

The next scene was Naruto running down and opening a crate, followed by a goon walking to him.

"He's looking for something." Raven noted in a plain voice. "That's assuming our mystery person is a he. Though I can see he wears all black, has a bow, some arrows and a sword. This would make me think he has no powers."

"Why would you think that friend Raven?" Starfire asked, not understanding her friends reasoning. "He could have powers, but still like to use weapons as well."

Raven shrugged her shoulders. "Fair point, guess I'm over speculating."

Though as Raven stopped speaking, the fighting started to break out. All the drug dealers began to open fire at Naruto, who evaded them with little difficultly. For now, it looked like the all blacked out teen was in trouble.

"Guys got good reflexes, but now I'm with Raven. The way he is avoiding the gunfire, it's pretty convincing that he has no powers." Cyborg began, thinking of ways he and his team save Robin would handle the situation.

Robin nodded and folded his arms. "You have good points, but there is a lesson Batman taught me. He always told me to never give away all your abilities at once, always sell yourself out as weaker than you truly are. It causes your opponents to underestimate you."

"But this guy isn't the Batman." Starfire pointed out.

"I know Star, but like I said. This guy is good." Robin began, right before the Titans watched in horror as Naruto started to drop bodies. "Not a single missed arrow, and every single one was aimed for a killing blow. This guy isn't some random thug or vigilante, he's highly trained."

Beast Boy watched as Naruto placed his sword into the last man's stomach. "Who is this guy? He just killed seven people like it was nothing!"

Cyborg narrowed his eyes. "He definitely isn't a hero, it's against the Justice League Charter for a hero to commit murder."

Starfire raised her eyebrow. "The what?"

"Star we never told you about this, mainly because you didn't have an issue with killing. So it wasn't needed, but when the Justice League was founded. They were founded on rules to keep them in check. These were laws to keep the League from acting as a group of gods that could take over the world. So since the Teen Titans is for younger heroes who cannot join the Justice League yet, we still follow similar rules." Robin explained, while watching Naruto disappear without a trace. "So saying that, I agree with Cyborg. This guy is no hero, and as long as he is in our city. We will see him brought to justice."

Raven, unlike her team continued to watch the TV. The clip was replayed one more time, and for some reason. She found herself completely absorbed with the young masked assassin.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx

(With Naruto)

Naruto strolled into his living room for the rest of his morning routine. He had finished his workout and now it was time for his breakfast. As he sat down onto his couch, he momentarily nursed the gun wound on his shoulder. Which he had patched up last night.

Being on a crusade for justice against his family, meant that Naruto had to treat all his own wounds. So he had to pull the bullet out, clean and stitch the wound himself. It was painful, especially since Naruto had no painkillers. Though as a League trained assassin, Naruto could handle pain very well.

"Well might as well see what's on TV." Naruto mused, as he clicked the remote and began to eat some cereal.

Naruto was surprised to see the clip of himself killing the thugs at the docks. "Guess I should have scanned the area for cameras." Naruto spoke offhandedly, thinking to himself nothing could be done now.

Placing his cereal bowl down, Naruto locked his hands together and began to think. "This will attract a lot of, unwanted attention." The blond sighed, leaning over and messing with his hair. "So stupid, Ra's would have my head for such a rookie mistake."

Over on the TV, the news reporter was closing the story off. "And that's all we have on Jump City's newest mystery. The police urge anyone who has information on this individual to please give it out. He may have stopped some drug dealers, but he still committed a serious crime in doing so. This is Jane Summers signing off, please stay safe Jump City."

Naruto clicked the TV off and began to think. "Alright there is some good in all this." Naruto began with a small smile, holding his hand out. "Everyone will believe I am trained in stealth, archery and swordplay. Which is true, but it will leave me with an ace in my sleeve."

Naruto's hand started to glow with a green aura. "I might not have any control over this power, Ra's would even compare it to a hindrance in combat due to my lack of skill. Though I have enough ability to give whoever challenges me a very nice surprise."

Naruto's hand returned to its normal state. "Though maybe I should take Ra's advice and train more. Being able to properly use this power would be very helpful. Though I don't know how to do that, after all father never learned how to control his power."

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx

(Flashback Naruto age 9)

Naruto and Ra's were engaged in a fierce spar, as both student and mentor fought for blood. As their swords clashes, Ra's seemed to be loosing. Though this was a facade to lure Naruto into his trap and ultimately the child's defeat.

"Your stance has improved and you leave little room for error." Ra's began without skipping a beat. "However."

Ra's knocked Naruto's sword in the air, then kicked his feet from under him. Causing Naruto to land on his back with a sword at his throat.

"You have a long road ahead boy." Ra's finished, removing his sword from the blond's neck.

"Damnit!" Naruto cursed as he slammed his hands into the stone floor.

Ra's sheathed his sword and sighed. "Hold your temper boy, I didn't live and train for centuries to be beaten by a child. Keep your composure and maybe one day, you will be a great warrior like your father. One that can even beat the likes of me."

"How. How did my father beat you when he could even save himself?" Naruto demanded to know.

Ra's placed a hand on Naruto's shoulder. "Your father had powers, an amazing ability to control lightning. Though he had no control what so ever. If he even tried to use his power, he could have accidentally killed everyone around him. So that's why, when your family was killed. Minato decided to shield his daughter with his body. Resulting in her and his own deaths."

"Dad had powers?" Naruto mumbled in disbelief.

"Yes he did, but like I said. Minato had no control over his power. Though as his son, you carry his mutated gene. You may not have his exact powers, but I would bet my life you have some form of his elemental manipulation."

Naruto couldn't believe his ear's, never in a million years would he imagine his father had powers. "So if I have inherited abilities from my dad, would that mean Mito would have had some too?"

Ra's nodded. "Logically yes, but let's focus on finding if you have these powers. Then accomplishing what your father could not do, which is controlling that power inside you."

(Flashback end)

"All those years later and I still have no control over my power." Naruto clenched his fist and stood up. "I need to fix that, but the question is how."

Naruto walked off and pushed his thoughts away. "I'll figure it out eventually, I have to get myself ready for tonight. Mizuki won't evade me forever."

(Later that night)

Naruto was moving swiftly through the docks on the opposite side of town. Yesterday he had hit a blank on the west end of town, so he was hoping the east side docks would hold more progress in his mission. As he ran, Naruto made sure to avoid any chance of being detected by cameras this time. After all, he wasn't normally the type of person to make the same mistake twice.

Eventually, Naruto spotted another group of shady individuals. It was the same scene as yesterday, but this time there was only four men on the docks moving crates around.

Naruto, not wanting to waste any time ran down to the men. Then before any could react he shot arrows into their knee caps, disabling all four of them.

"Which one of you is Mizuki Sato!" Naruto demanded to know, looking around for anyone to speak up. His head was on a swivel and his bow was drawn and moving between all four men.

"None of us are named Mizuki, so please just leave us alone!" One of the men begged in a pain filled voice.

Naruto placed an arrow in the man's heart who spoke. "Then you're no use to me." The blond replied in a cold tone.

Naruto then turned his attention and killed two more men. Though as he held his bow to the last man, the thug held his hands up.

"Wait! I have information on Mizuki!" The man cried, earning Naruto's attention.

"Speak!" Naruto growled through his deepened voice.

The man's hand started to shake as he placed his right hand into his pocket. "This is my cell phone." The man began, holding the device out to Naruto. "It has all my contacts, including delivery points we have to ship these drugs to. Mizuki is on this list along with the date and location we were to meet him."

Naruto released the hold on his bow, allowing an arrow to pierce the man's chest. "Thank you." Naruto replied, plucking the phone from the man's hands. "But I can't have any loose ends."

The man looked at Naruto with a look of betrayal, but soon his body went limp and slumped over dead.

Naruto inwardly smirked and held the phone into the air. Finally he had a solid lead to find Mizuki.

"I'm so close, Mito, Father. I will avenge you both." Naruto mumbled in a low voice, but before he could move. A object flew into the cell phone in Naruto's hand, shattering through the middle of the phone.

Growling, Naruto noticed the large R symbol on the object. Then with great rage he ripped the the object out of the phone and placed the phone in his pocket.

"So what do I owe the pleasure?" Naruto began in his disguised voice, casting Robin's projectile to the side. Then by looking over and up, he found all five Teen Titans glaring down at him.

"We've come to stop you." Robin declared as he prepared to attack.

Cyborg morphed his hand into a cannon and pointed it at Naruto. "Your little killing spree stops here!" The robotic teen added in.

"Oh trust me, I'll stop killing." Naruto began grabbing his bow and an arrow. "That is after I find and kill the person I'm hunting for."

"Dude the only thing you are finding is a prison cell." Beast Boy replied, causing Naruto to laugh.

"That's cute, not as cute as the gorgeous girl in the hood, but I admire your confidence." Naruto shot back, causing Raven to slightly scowl at him. She didn't like being complemented by a criminal.

"There is five of us against only yourself, please surrender or we will hurt you." Starfire warned, her hands and eyes slowly glowing green.

Naruto drew an arrow back and pointed it towards the Titans. "Sounds like the odds really aren't in your favor then."

Raven lifted her hands up, black aura slowly surrounding them both. "Give yourself in or don't, I really could care less. Though what my team says is true, you won't defeat us and we will stop you tonight."

Naruto sighed and released his grip on his bow. "Let's test that theory beautiful." The blond replied in a calm manor, as an arrow went sailing into the air.

"Titans Go!" Robin yelled, signaling his team to attack.

Chapter End

Here is chapter two and tell me what you all think! Also I have some things to discuss.

1. I said this takes place around the time Terra gets turned to stone. And that is still the case, but I'm changing something. And that is Slade didn't die. He will be alive and kicking for this story, so I have a lot more to work with.

2. Many have asked me, how could Minato be a trained assassin who got killed so easily? Especially now since I've revealed he had powers. Simple one, his powers were unstable and if he used them he would electrify anyone around him. Basically he would have killed his family. Two he shielded Mito with his own body and three this is only chapter two. This story is all about uncovering truths and discovering secrets. And we haven't even got close to figuring out what happened that night and why.

3. Naruto's power, I wanted a League trained Naruto but I still wanted to keep a small nod to the Naruto universe. See Naruto won't have Chakra, but he will have powers from the Naruto universe which he has no control over. And maybe just maybe down the line he will find someone who can help train him in those abilities.

That's all I have to say for now, so until next update everyone stay well!
