"Talking!"

'Thinking!'

"Demon!"

Deathstroke

Two years have passed since the death of David Cain. Shortly after Naruto killed the assassin he contacted his Master, Lady Shiva, otherwise known as Sandra Woosan. To say Sandra was unhappy is an understatement. She was furious with David that he attacked David not once, but twice. Those thoughts quickly were dashed when Naruto told her that Cain is was killed by him. She quickly took a flight to Japan as quickly as she could.

She hugged Naruto when she saw him at the airport. The thought that the man that caused her so much pain is now gone; she doesn't know what to do. For years she trained to kill David Cain and now that he's dead, maybe she can look for her daughter without the fear that man coming to take her daughter away from her. Deciding to take sometime off in order to spend time with Naruto and to catch up. During her stay she learned that Naruto somehow gained the respect of the Clan Heads and the Clan Heirs of the major Yakuza in Tokyo.

During her time in Tokyo Sandra received word that O-Sensei died. She left to hear his will and to see if he left anything for Naruto, who wanted to come. Lady Shiva talked Naruto out of it and made him promised that he should practice the stances and fighting style that O-Sensei taught him during his stay with the old man. Shiva with the help from Batman, Green Arrow, and The Question to help bring his body to Japan to be with his wife. Unfortunately a typhoon came and washed O-Sensei off the boat. It wasn't til later that Lady Shiva learned that his wife had been lost at sea decades ago. Thus, O-Sensei had fulfilled his vow to be with his wife.

-Arkham City-

A cold starry night in a corrupt city. Naruto has been called to this prison of a city. Staying in the shadows to follow the Dark Knight as he runs across the city fighting against the criminals that are locked up here for the crimes that they did, or for those trying to close this prison down, but were thrown inside said prison as political prisoners. He saw the Batman help Catwoman escape from Two-face, fight through the Penguin's lair to easily beat the Penguin and to fight against Solomon Grundy. Following Batman was easy as he didn't expect for anyone to follow him. Naruto lets the assassin from the League to see him and they all back down as he continues to follow the Dark Knight.

Naruto is dishearten to see Batman uses Talia's love for him to use an elixir that fights against the poison that the Joker gave him. Batman fought and defeated Ra's even when he is under the effects of the elixir.

Breathing heavy, "He betrayed me once more," says Ra's

"So you say," said Naruto letting the old assassin knows that he is here

"Young Naruto, I see that you've came as I was the one that called you here,"

"You called me here? Why?"

"Because… Batman will cause everything to end. He will use any means to bring his justice to this corrupt city that doesn't deceiver redemption,"

"Everyone should have a second chance, but if they are lost then there is no help for them,"

Smiling, "I was right all those years ago," Ra's stands to his feet, "Young Naruto, you are someone who sees the world for it is. You want to give people that second chance, but if they are too lost for their own good; then you cut them down. You truly are the one that I have been looking for the be my replacement,"

"Your replacement? Ra's… I don't know what to say, I don't know if I want to be the next Demon Head,"

"I understand; unlike with Batman, I can see that you have yet to choose a path that will lead you to do great things. My time is coming to an end. That was the last time that I can use the Lazarus Pits,"

"Then you should live the rest of your life to the fullest,"

"Ha haha! You truly are one of the kind. It is a shame that you aren't part of the League of Assassins. You would have been one of the greatest assassin to have served me,"

"I don't know if I would have been,"

"Don't sale yourself short, Young Naruto. I must go and meet my end like the warrior that I am. But before I go; please help Talia after me death. She will need someone there to help her through the darkness that will try to consume her." Ra's marches on to face his death.

Naruto watches as Batman fought and defeats Mr. Freeze, fights the Joker, and watches as the helicopters fire missiles at the prisoners. Batman made his way to Wonder Tower and watches as it explodes. Both Batman and Ra's fall from the very top of the tower for Batman to use his cape to safely lands and for Ra's to have spike fences pierce through his chest.

"Why Ra's? Why choose death?" asked Batman

"Be-" Ra's coughs up blood, "Because I know… who will take me place… If not, I know he will… make sure that the League will… survive…" Ra's says with his last breath

'What was he talking about? Has Ra's been training someone to take his place in the case of his death?' thought Batman.

Batman didn't think too much into it before he left. Naruto lands on the ground in front of Ra's body. Batman didn't even take his body off the fence; he just left the man there.

'I thought you had honor Batman. You could of taken his body off the damn fence!' Naruto shouted in his mind.

Naruto carefully takes Ra's body off the fence and lays him on the cold unforgiving ground. The blonde moved his hand over Ra's' eyes to close them. He only met Ra's a few times and could tell that the man was holding on to burrowed time. Burrowed time that he tried to push back from time to time again by using the Lazarus Pits.

"Those Lazarus Pits aren't worth it, Ra's. I wished that you could of seen that." Naruto pays his final respects to the man.

Quiet appears in a black mist. Quiet is wearing a heavy winter coat for the cold and snow. It was a nice change of pace for Naruto when he looks at Quiet. The mute picks up Ra's and disappears in a black mist. Naruto didn't wait and disappears in the shadows. Naruto changes into the Red X outfit that he stole all those years ago from Robin. Naruto runs along the rooftops coming to a stop across the theater. Red X goes inside to see Talia laying on the floor in a pool of her own blood.

"Talia!"

Naruto rushes over to the down woman. He puts his fingers to her neck to check for a pulse. He breathes a breath of relief. Talia is still breathing but from the looks of it she lost a lot of blood so far. Naruto picks up the daughter of the former Demon Head. He walks over to the very large hole in the floor to watch Batman defeat Clayface with some ice grenades. A shade of purple catches the corner of Naruto's eye as the Joker is silently making his way behind the Batman with a knife in his hand.

"Quiet,"

A bullet hits Joker's hand that is wielding the knife, noting the blade out of it. Joker drops to the ground holding his bloody hand.

"Who shot me!?" Joker cried out.

Batman turns around looking at the Joker rolling on the ground. He looks around and then up to see Red X standing at the edge of the hole holding Talia. He sees a woman appear in a black mist before disappearing in a black mist taking both Red X and Talia.

'Who was that? He was holding Talia. Was that the person Ra's was talking about?' thought Batman.

But Batman didn't let it stay in his mind as he kicks the Joker onto his back. He then forces the Joker to drink the antidote that will heal him of the Titan Serum he took a year ago.

-Tibet-

It's been several hours since Naruto took Talia and her bodyguards from Arkham City. During the flight over he treated her wounds along with any wounds the that the other assassins of their injures. Most of their injures were broken bones since Batman doesn't believe in killing his opponents.

Talia groans as she slowly opens her eyes. She stares up at the ceiling for a few minutes before sitting up til a sharp pain running through her body. Talia falls back into the bed.

"How… How did I get back here?" Talia asked herself

"I brought you back," answered Naruto

Talia jumped out of her skin, "Naruto? You brought me back? You were at Arkham City?"

"Ra's, your father called me to Arkham City. We talked shortly after he fought against Batman,"

"Batman," Talia whispers, "What happen to the Joker after he attacked me?"

"Batman fought Clayface and then gave Joker that antidote. Ra's asked me to help you with his death,"

"Death?" Talia looks away from Naruto, "So what he said was true; the Lazarus Pits wouldn't heal him anymore. Why did he wanted you to help me?"

"Because he knew that darkness would eat at you. I'm guessing he knew that you'd want revenge against Batman for betraying you." said Naruto.

Talia looks at Naruto. It's been a few years since the last time she seen him. The blonde has grown taller, gained nice muscle growth, his hair has become shiner almost looking like gold, and his eyes are still that bright shade of beautiful blue. Talia can say that Naruto has become handsome as he has gotten older.

"You've grown Naruto,"

"Thanks, Talia, you still are beautiful." replied Naruto.

To say Talia was shock was to say the least. She remembers how he use to blush when he would stare at her. Now here he is, calling her beautiful. He's grown so much; and not just his height. Naruto has clearly matured over the years. What Talia doesn't know is that in the last two years, Naruto change to better himself so that when the time comes, he doesn't give into his hatred. The blonde has come to terms with his anger and hatred with the Amazons, but now he just wants answers more than anything else.

"I see now you don't blush anymore. I remember that little boy who use to blush when looking at me," teased Talia

Smirking, "It's kind of hard when your best friend like to barely wear anything,"

"Bare wear anything?" Talia says with a raised eyebrow.

That's when Quiet opens the door and walks into the room. She walks over and stands behind Naruto. Talia is shocked that the woman is in her underwear. The raven haired woman looks at Naruto in question. Clearly he is use to it. Showing that this woman likes to look like this. Talia knows that if you use your body you can distract men and some women with that kind of body.

"I didn't know that you were into that Naruto," Talia again tries to tease Naruto

"Really? Again with the teasing?" Naruto deadpen Talia, "This is Quiet, and she doesn't like to wear normal clothes. Though I was surprised that she'd wear a coat at Arkham City," Quiet punched Naruto, "It's true!"

"So your name is Quiet?" the sniper stares at Talia

"Quiet doesn't talk," Naruto tells Talia

"Why? Have you been studying the League? Because only my bodyguards don't speak,"

"No, Quiet doesn't talk much because it hurts her vocal chords. She'll say a few words every now and then, but those are rare. They are worth it in the end," Quiet smiles at Naruto, "What will you do now, Talia?" Naruto finally asks

The new Demon Head exhales, "I must have my Father's body prepare to be buried,"

"Already taken care of," Talia looks at Naruto to explain more, "The people that help your father with his ritual with the whole bathing in the Lazarus Pits are preparing his body. It should be finish by tonight,"

"Then I will have to contact every assassin out on missions to come back when they can. The funeral will take place next so that they can come to pay their respects to the former Demon Head. It was staggering with how many assassins the League of Assassins truly has. At anytime there are several hundred assassins at the headquarters in Tibet at any one time; with the others at bases around the world for missions and contracts. Talia has worked for the last week to make sure that missions and contracts so that one around the world knows what happen.

"Talia, you've been working yourself rugged for the last week," said Naruto

"I know, but I have to make sure that everything is going as smoothly as possible," Talia rubs her forehead, "I never knew how much my Father had to do with the missions and contracts,"

"Why don't you take some rest? The funeral will be in two days,"

"I can't. Not right now,"

"More and more assassins are arriving by the hour, Talia. The funeral will be long at this rate; you have to show them all that you can lead them into a new era. I've heard some rumors that there are some who wish to be the Demon Head, and not you,"

"Sigh, I know Naruto. There are those that wish to be the Demon Head, but with my Father's death and truing to take everything on like this; it can be overwhelming,"

"Then rest. Show those that you can lead, that you will lead,"

"I will rest, but why don't you sleep with me?" Talia walks from her desk and over to her bed to sit on it. She pats beside her for Naruto to join her, "Remember the time we shared a bed together?"

"That was six years ago, and I was ten,"

"So? Besides, after the funeral I'll be heading to Russia to met my sister,"

"Sister?" says Naruto as he sits next to Talia, "I didn't know you have a sister,"

"My Father had many children. Many of them died over the years from war, disease, murdered, and other ways that they died. My sister, Nyssa, who is the leader for the League of Assassins in Russia,"

"So after the funeral we head to Russia and meet her?"

"Yes," says Talia as she lays down.

The funeral was massive. There were easily thousands of assassins and those that work for the League of Assassins that came for the funeral of Ra's al Ghul. Those there are high ranking in the League made sure that there was no chaos and made sure that everything went smoothly.

-Moscow, Russia-

A few days passed since Ra's' funeral and all the assassins that came went back to their bases to continue or start new missions or contracts. Naruto steps out onto fresh snow. He went with Talia to visit her sister Nyssa. Naruto and Talia walk through one of the busy markets.

"So where do we find your sister?" asked Naruto

"You don't need to find me for I already have found you!" says Nyssa.

Both Naruto and Talia turn around to face Nyssa. Nyssa is wearing a fine made green dress with a thick heavy coat made from some of the finest material. She has short black hair with the ends flaring up. The blonde looks around to see several bodyguards behind Nyssa and a few behind himself and Talia.

"My, what do we have here? My dear sister and the Golden Devil," spoke Nyssa

'I'm starting to hate that everyone knows who I am,' Naruto's eyebrow twitches

"Nyssa," Talia pauses, "I'm sure you heard that Father is now dead. I came here to talk to you,"

"Let's go somewhere warm and out of this cold." said Nyssa.

They travel down a few streets to one of the nicer buildings in the warehouse district. The warehouse itself is a front for a safe house for the League of Assassins in Russia. While the outside looks like every other warehouse, but on the inside looks completely different. It shows that they use a lot of money to make the inside of the warehouse to look very fancy. Nyssa sits on one of the large couches and relaxes soon a servant came over holding a tray with several glasses and a bottle of wine. Nyssa waves Naruto and Talia to sit with her which they comply.

"Now tell me why are you here?" Nyssa asks while taking a glass that wine was been poured in it

"Sigh… As you know Father is dead and the Lazarus Pits can't bring him back anymore; so I am now acting Demon Head,"

"Acting Demon Head? Why haven't you been made the Demon Head?"

"Because our Father had someone else in mind," Talia looks over to Naruto who is drinking some of the wine, "Father wants Naruto here to be the next Demon Head,"

"I know he is the Golden Devil, but I don't think Father would of chosen him just for that,"

"You are correct about that, but Father saw something in Naruto that wanted him to be the next Demon Head or…" Talia didn't want to finish that sentence

"Or what?" Nyssa asks clearly wanting to know

"Or to have have his child." mutters Talia.

Of course Naruto spits out the wine that was in his mouth and onto the servant in from of him. The blonde was not expecting that. This is the very first time that he is hearing this. Ra's wanted Naruto to become the next Demon Head that he knew, but if he didn't become the Demon Head; he is suppose to have a child with Talia to make an heir.

"W- W- W- Why?" stutters Naruto

"My Father wanted Batman to be the heir, but he didn't have the same mind like Father did," Talia says

"Father was always like that. There has to be more than just that for Father to want Naruto here to be the next Demon Head; let alone want you two to have a child together," Nyssa says in confusion

"I… I went to Tibet to only to be captured and tortured by David Cain,"

"Who you killed," Talia chimes in

"I was tortured," Naruto growled out, "Ra's came to see me with Talia and I spit in his face,"

"And he didn't kill you?" Nyssa asked

"I know, Father ended people when they show the faintest show of disrespect,"

"Anyway!" Naruto once again growled out, "Ra's had me let go for finding the League of Assassins to have a meal with him and his daughter. Shortly after the meal ended Lady Shiva came into the room. Ra's had Lady Shiva teach me hand to hand combat,"

"You used your skills in hand to hand combat to kill David Cain," Talia stands up and walks over to Naruto, "You fought one of the best assassins in the world and not only defeated him, but killed him,"

"It wasn't an easy fight," Naruto rubs his chest with phantom pains still lingering, "It was one of my most difficult fights that I'd fought so far,"

"With your victory it shows how much you are grown stronger, Naruto. Nyssa, will you come back with me and help me lead the League of Assassins?" Talia looks over to her sister

"Let me sometime to think about it. It is something that I just can't rush into. There are several high value targets here in Russia. Vandal Savage is rumored to be here looking for something,"

"Vandal Savage? I thought the Justice League had him locked up?"

"Do you really think Savage would stay that long in prison? When has anyone stayed that long in prison when they fought the Justice League, or any hero?"

"Why don't they just kill the villains?" asked Naruto

"Because they don't have the spine to do the hard work. That's why we work for the League of Assassins; we can do what they can't. Talia, give me a few days and I will give you my answer,"

"That's all that I can ask for Sister." Talia says with some disappointment.

-Tibet-

Naruto is sitting in a very large bath. It's only been a few hours since both he and Talia returned from Russia. The blonde decided to take a bath and relax, but it was more on the line to think. To think about what he learned in Russia. That Ra's wanted Naruto to be the Demon Head, which he knew, but if he didn't become the Demon Head he was suppose to have a child with Talia. Yes, Talia is very beautiful and can say that she is kind, but she's a member of the League of Assassins; meaning she can kill without hesitation. Hesitation that he doesn't use when he needs too.

'I'm sixteen and I'm at the crossroad of my life.' Naruto thought.

Naruto is brought out of his train of thought by the sound of the door opening. He turns his head to see Talia walking towards the water with a towel barely covering her body. Redness spreads and covers the blonde's face. Talia steps into the water and slowly sinks down before she takes her towel off.

"Sigh…! This feels heavenly!" Talia rubs one of her shoulders

"T- T- Talia!" stuttering out, "Wh- What are you doing here?!"

"Oh, Naruto, I didn't see you there,"

"Bullshit!" yelled out Naruto, "You knew that I was here! why are you here?!"

"I came to take a bath. Why are you here in my personal bath?"

"That's bullshit and you know that! You lead me here and told me to take a bath. You must have other baths about here with it being so big,"

"There are other baths, but this is my personal bath. I thought that you'd finish with your bath,"

"Again I'm calling bullshit. Are you trying to have sex with me? Are you trying to get a child with me?" Naruto swims away from Talia

"No… Yes. I know you don't want to be the Demon Head for the League of Assassins. I thought that if I could have a child with you, I can have an heir to take over when I step down." Talia explains.

Naruto looks down into the water. He never thought about having a child. It's one of the things that he never thought about. It all comes down to fear; fear that he will never be good enough. Fear that he will not be able to take care of his child or to protect them. Will he fail like his mother did?

Naruto doesn't notice Talia swims over to him. She wraps her arms around him to bring him closer. Naruto is once again brought out of his train of thought by feeling flesh against his flesh. Talia runs her fingers through Naruto's water hair. Talia cups his face to turn his head and brings her lips to his. This is the first time that Naruto has every been kissed.

Slowly backing away, "Why did you kiss me?"

"I want to try to have a child with you, Naruto. I know this is asking a lot out of you. If you make me pregnant you can visit your child anytime that you want. You don't have to marry me or anything like that; just promise me that you won't betray me." Talia says while she continues to run her fingers through his wet hair.

That was it. Talia was betrayed by Batman; the that she loved. He didn't just betrayed her love, but her trust in others. He could see her doubt, but he didn't know it was that bad. She is throwing herself at Naruto with everything that she has left. Her last pillar of strength. If Naruto betrays what little self that remains in Talia, then she can become just like Ra's, if not worst. Naruto wraps his arms around her.

"I… I'll be there for you, Talia. Please be gentle with me," says a nerves Naruto.

Talia understands what Naruto just said. She has followed Naruto's progress over the years. After her first meeting with him she was concern for the blonde. The look in his eyes made her worry about his well being. Naruto has never gotten too close to anyone, but his grandmother, Lady Shiva, and Quiet from what she can tell. With Naruto letting her do that, that means he's letting her in; he's letting his guard down. And with that Talia kisses Naruto gently.

oxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

The sunlight shines through the currents that shine onto Naruto's face. He tries to roll over to continue to sleep, but he finds that he can't do so. Slowly opening his eyes Naruto is greeted with the sight of a naked Talia and a naked Quiet.

'I remember Talia, but I don't… Oh, Quiet joined in last night after our second round.' Naruto thought as he remembers what happened last night.

Talia moans out as she opens her eyes and slowly sits up. She rubs her eyes to look over to see Naruto is awake now which brings a smile to her face, "My, I didn't know you had so much stamina, Naruto,"

Blushing, "I can fight for days at a time. I don't think that stamina would be used for last night,"

"You're still young, you'll get better every time you have sex," Talia brings the covers up, "I didn't know Quiet could be so loud,"

"I just didn't know that Quiet had feelings for me,"

"She wouldn't of followed you if she didn't,"

"I thought Quiet was following me out of some kind of debt," Naruto moves a lock out of Quiet face, "I wish Quiet would talk some more,"

"She talked plenty of last night," Talia teases once more.

The blonde's whole face becomes red. Quiet wasn't quiet last night that's for sure. But it was more of the thought that Quiet, who is his best friend that follow him through thick and thin.

'Quiet, tell me more about you. I want to know more about my friend better.' thought Naruto.

-Tokyo, Japan-

A few months later we find Naruto sitting in the back set of a car. Naruto and Quiet stayed in Tibet for several months helping Talia with the League of Assassins. Nyssa helped a lot with the new members and the training, while Talia handle the missions that the older members had to take. Another thing that made Naruto stayed in Tibet for so long was to try and get Talia pregnant, which he did. Naruto is going to be a father. That is one thing that he never thought that he would be; a father.

'I wonder what the baby will be? A boy or a girl? I really don't care either way,'

The car stops and the door opens up. The blonde steps out of the car with him wearing a very nice suit. A line of people in black suits are standing to allow him to freely walk through the crowd of people that are there. He's been in Japan for a few days because Sarutobi Hiruzen has died. His funeral is very large. Everyone from his Clan are there along with his son that didn't want to do with his father of with the other Clans. The other Clans have arrived to pay for the respects as he was one of the oldest Clan Heads. There wasn't just Yakuza as there are politicians that had ties to the Sarutobi Clan Head.

Naruto walks over to stand next to Tsunade, "Granny, why are there so many people here?"

"Because Sarutobi lived a very long life. He made many friends that he kept in contact with. It's only right that they came to repay their respects. I want you to watch for anything. This is the perfect chance to make a hit on anyone where," Tsunade explains to her grandson

"You don't have to tell me that. Any assassin would love to take a crack at anyone here. Talia made sure that no one from the League of Assassins will be in Japan til the funeral is over with,"

"You been spending a lot of time in Tibet, Naruto. Is there anything that you like to tell me?" Tsunade teases her grandson

"Nope!" Naruto quickly said, "Just making sure that a friend is taking everything slow with her pregnancy,"

"Oh? Someone you know that is pregnant? And someone who I don't know,"

Naruto stares at his grandmother, "Her name is Talia and she is the new Demon Head of the League of Assassins. Her father died a few months ago. You're reading too much into this,"

"Hmm, if I find out that you are lying to me, brat! I'll make sure that your mother was alive to keep you safe." Tsunade says with a threat that lingers.

Shivers go up Naruto's back. He doesn't want to know what his grandmother will do if she found out that she'll be a great grandmother in a few short months. Naruto watches everyone as more and more people arrive. He turns his head to watch as Hinata and her father Hiashi argue before her father walks away from Hinata with a look of anger on his face. Naruto makes his way over to the woman. As he makes his way over, the blonde can tell that Hinata has gotten even more beautiful as she has gotten more older. She is wearing a snow white kimono with a large red flower design on the bottom. She has also let her hair grow down her back pass her waist line.

"You have become beautiful, Hinata,"

Blushing, "Th- Thank you, Naruto-kun,' her blush grows even more, "You… You have become very handsome yourself,"

Smiling, "Thank you, Hinata. Do you mind me asking, but what were you and your father talking about? He didn't look too happy when he'd left,"

Hinata lose her smile and blush, "We were talking about my marriage. I am to be married when I turn eighteen, but I don't like my fiance,"

"Is there anything that you can do?"

"No, I can't step down or my younger sister will be the Heiress; and in turn she'll be forced into marriage. I'm doing this so she can have a normal life,"

"Is there anything that I can do? Maybe I can talk to your father and end your marriage?"

"No, he would then want you to marry me and I don't want to do that to you, Naruto,"

"He he! Ha hah!" Hinata looks at Naruto as he laughs, "Hinata, I… how do I say this? I… helped fathered a child with a woman that needed someone that was there for her. She was betrayed by the man that she loved and her father was killed by that same man. I will anything in my power to help you, but you have to let me help you." Naruto said.

Hinata was actually stunned with what Naruto just said. That he will be a father. Naruto was willing to do anything to help that woman and now he was saying the same thing to her; someone he doesn't know that much. Hinata still remembers when he helped when Chaka was being disrespectful.

Naruto waited for Hinata to make a decision when something caught his eye. Naruto notice that one of the monks have tattoos. Narrowing his eyes at the others monks to notice that they have tattoos as well. Naruto knows that monks don't have any tattoos. He knows that Shaolin Monks receive markings for their Kung Fu mastery. Buddhism Monks don't have any markings or tattoos.

'Something is not right.' Naruto thought.

Naruto looks around. He notice that their movements aren't like that of a Buddhism Monk. Naruto walks over to where they are having the ceremonial taking place. Some of those in black suits try to stop Naruto but he just pushes them out of the way. He grabs one of the monks. The monk that he grabbed pulled out a gun who fires the gun into the blonde's stomach. The loud gunshots caused chaos as people started to run. Naruto pushed through the pain to disarm the fake monk which in turn takes the gun.

The blonde takes out his hidden knife and quickly sinks the blade into the fake monk's throat. Naruto turns around to only see that the other fake monks open fire onto the crowd. One of the fake monks grabs and drags Hinata away from the chaos. He moves jumping over people or shoves them out of the way to kick the fake monk away. Another fake monk shot Naruto once again. The pain is different then normal, but pain is nothing Naruto is use too. The former child soldier quickly kills the fake monk.

"Go now!" orders Naruto

"B- But…!" stutters Hinata

"NOW!" shouted out Naruto.

Hinata runs from all the fighting. Naruto jumps on one of the fake monk stabbing him over and over again. He quickly fires his taken gun at another fake monk before throwing the gun itself at another to distract him so his death was quick. Naruto swipes a fake monk onto his body with his knife entering and ending him. Seeing a few fake monks chase after Hinata, Naruto runs away them leaving a bloody trail behind him.

Hinata runs down the busy road. She runs up some stairs pays for a ticket for the bullet train. The young woman makes her way into the bullet train to sit in a nice comfy chair. Hinata has grown use to violence as she has gotten older. She had to. Violence is part of being a Clan Head. She was forced to watch as Chaka and his father be tortured and killed. She even remembers when Naruto throw Utatane Koharu's head onto the meeting table two years ago. She knew that Naruto was different from the other Clan Heirs, but didn't know that different. With what she had to do in the last two years she can now say she knows a little of what Naruto went through.

"Hey!" Hinata jumps as Naruto grabs her attention, "Are you alright?" asked Naruto

"Y- Yes!" Hinata sees the blood bleeding through his clothing, "Are you alright?"

Naruto looks at his bloody clothes, "This is nothing! You see the other guy! Sit down and relax, I'll be back."

Naruto goes over to the bathroom. He turns the water on to start to clean to blood off. The blood on his fists and some of his clothes. He unbuttons his shirt to get a better look at his stomach. The bullet wounds are still bleeding. He cleans the wound, but since he doesn't have any tools to dig the bullets out they'll have to stay in til he can get his hands on some medical tools.

'Damn it! I was careless and I paid for it! Why aren't I healing?'

This brings some questions as he always healed quickly. Yes, he has scars but that's when he's been fighting for hours and haven't had time to rest to properly heal. This time his healing isn't pushing the bullets out and closing up the wounds. He'll bleed out if he didn't do anything quickly. He buttons back up his shirt and exits the bathroom to only be surrounded by four goons with weapons.

"Before we start," Naruto looks at each and every goon there, "Does anyone wants to walk away?" no one says anything, "Very well." Naruto finishes.

Naruto takes out one of his knives and throws his jacket at one of the goons. Another goon took out a gun before Naruto wraps one of his arms around the extended arm with the gun drags and throws the goon into a different compartment. Blocks a punch kicks him back, blocks a knife strike and rams him into the wall, turns around to only be shot in the arm before cutting the hand with the gun in it. The goon that tried to stab Naruto went at him again, but Naruto not only block the knife stab; he kicked the window out causing wind to fly through. Two of the goons jump onto Naruto forcing the blonde to lose his balance, but he won't falter and stubble around. The Golden Devil kicks one of the goons out the window causing it to become bigger. A goon come behind the blonde trying to get him in a full nelson though Naruto easily broke it and kicked another goon out the hole.

The goon that was kicked out used one of his knives to cling to the roof of the bullet train. Back inside the bullet train a goon punched Naruto on his forehead which another goon tried to tackle, but was throw behind the blonde. Said blonde locks the goon that punched him in an arm lock and stabbed him in the chest. The last goon attacks Naruton once more, but the blonde once again blocks it with them both becoming a battle between strength through blades locking. The Golden Devil pushes the goon back though the goon pushes back with a tackle and they both go through the hole.

With Naruto clinging onto the hole with the goon clinging onto his left leg. The goon stabs Naruto in the side. The goon stabs Naruto again, but this time higher up near the ribs. Groaning in pain he open his eyes to only see a light switch coming closer and closer. He twists his body to not just throw himself up onto the roof of the bullet train, but also the goon that is clinging to him. They both roll and tumble on top of the bullet train. They both stab the roof to stop from moving further down the roof. The goon looks pass Naruto and said blonde looks behind him as they both lay closer to the bullet train as a sign passes over them. Naruto swings his knife at the goon though he loses his grip which causes him to slide around for the goon to block the knife swing. With the goon blocking Naruto they both slide further down the roof. They both come to a stop with their knives in the roof preventing them from going any further. Naruto who is further down the goon looks over the goon to jump with the goon following him as they both jump over a passing sign. Naruto quickly thinks of something very evil. He jumps with the goon jumping as well, but Naruto didn't jump too high as the goon is hit by a sign. The blonde turns around to the final goon who is clinging to the roof, jumps and fly towards the last goon plunging his knife into him and kicks him off the bullet train.

Hinata who doesn't know what is happening is patiently waiting for Naruto to return from going to the bathroom. The young man places his hand on Hinata's shoulder who jumps out of fear and surprise.

"Nar- Naruto-san, your bleeding more!" Hinata jumps out of her sit, "We have to get you some help!"

"Not right now! We have to get you to safety! My bleeding out can wait." Naruto grabs Hinata's hand with the bullet train stopping at the train station.

Naruto leads Hinata through the busy streets while leaving behind a trail of blood. He places a hand on his gunshot wound groans at the pain to only look at his bloody hand.

'Why haven't I been healing?' Naruto thoughts

"Naruto-san, are you alright?" Hinata asks, "You're bleeding a lot. We should get you to a hospital before it gets worse,"

"No!" said Naruto, "I have to get you to safety. For whatever reason they're after you."

Naruto stumbles over to a wall to lean on. This is bad as the time when David Cain beat him and he had to use Gaea's Blessing. He knows that he can use it again because this won't be healed. The blonde just needs a doctor.

"This way…" Naruto forces out.

Hinata follows her blonde savior as they go down an alleyway. She never been this far from her home. Never being this far downtown into one of the more crowded places in Tokyo. She looks up to see that the sun is setting with the moon coming out. This morning she was going to a funeral that was attacked, and now she's somewhere in downtown Tokyo following her savior who is bleeding out. Then the young Heiress comes to a stop as Naruto stops in front of a door. Naruto knocks twice, kicks the door once, bangs the door three times, knocks five times, kicks the door two times, and then knocks five times. The small panel up top opens up.

"Password!"

"We work in the dark to serve the light," Naruto says.

The small panel closes followed by the sound of multiple locks unlocking. The heavy door swings open with a woman who has brown hair that are in ox buns rushes them inside. The woman leads them down a dark hallway before going into a room with a metal table in the middle with a light shinning down it.

"Lay down," the woman orders

Naruto takes off his shirt with groans of pain. He lays down on the metal table as the woman brings over a tray with medical tools.

"My name is Tenten and I'll be your doctor today!" Tenten says as she puts on a medical mask, "Now what can I do for you Lord Naruto?"

"Please don't," Naruto pleads, "Just become I helped Talia after her father's death doesn't mean I should be praised,"

"You helped the League and for that I thank you. I don't want to look for another job if I can't help it. Now let's get these bullets out of you," says Tenten who picks up a scalpel

"Ano…" Hinata grabs Tenten's attention, "What are you doing?"

"I'm going to take out the bullets that are in Naruto's stomach," Tenten quickly gives Naruto a few pain pills and throws a bag of blood in the microwave, "You're both in a safe house,"

"Safe house to what if you don't mind me asking?"

"A safe house to the League of Assassins, duh!" Tenten makes a small cut around the bullet wound, "Those part of the League come here to rest, get assignments, or get pocked up like Naruto here!"

"Shut up!" Naruto chimed in

"League of Assassins? Why would Naruto know them?" asked Hinata

Tenten gives Hinata a strange look, "You're part of the Yakuza, lady. Your family and probably the others used them to kill a few people without getting their hands dirty. But to answer your question; Naruto here helped Lady Talia after her father Master Ra's death,"

"It was nothing. I was just helping a friend." Naruto said before he takes more pain pills.

Hinata watches as Tenten takes out the bullets and stitch the wounds close and hock up the bag of blood to Naruto. Tenten cleans all the blood and bandage his newly stitched wounds. Tenten then gets Naruto some new clothes since his are stained with blood along with the gunshots and the knife cuts. Tenten came back with some clothes for Hinata as well.

"This should keep you stay and out of mind. No one will look for the Heiress of the Hyuga Clan in normal clothes. And here is some money in case you need it. Now I have to kick you out before someone comes her and looks for the two of you. The League of Assassins can't be thought that we were somehow involve in this mess,"

"Right," Naruto says while putting on his shirt, "This means a lot. The next time that I see Talia, I'll make sure that she knows that you did for me,"

"Think nothing of it! Just don't move too much or your stitches will come out." Tenten said.

Naruto and Hinata walk through the crowds as time goes by. It's been a few hours since Naruto made his wounds properly patched up. The night is in full swing. Naruto looks around to see that Hinata is having a hard time keeping her eyes open. He looks around to see a love hotel. Exhaling before walking over to the love hotel with Hinata blushing at where they are going. They rented a room for the whole night with Naruto sleeping in the bathroom and Hinata sleeping on the bed. Of course Hinata couldn't get that much sleep since they were in a love hotel and had dirty thoughts.

With the chaos still in the city Hinata suggests that they leave Tokyo. Since Naruto couldn't think of anything, he could think of his grandmother's house in Okinawa. Seeing that is one of the only choice they head for Okinawa. They didn't take a plane though they took a boat to Okinawa. Hinata wasn't prepare for the hot weather, but she didn't complain as Okinawa is beautiful as the ocean waters are clear with very little clouds in the sky.

They arrive at a house that Tsunade owns, but doesn't uses. Naruto asked her once why she has it but doesn't use it and it's her grandparent's house and she doesn't have the heart to do anything with it; so she just let it sits there. Though she makes sure that the house is taken care of and not in disarray. Hinata looks around the house to see that history in it. She looks at the different pictures that are hanging from the walls and that are sitting on tables around the living room.

'Wow! I never thought that I would be in Tsunade-sama's grandparent's house,' though Hinata as she continues to look at the different pictures.

While Hinata is looking at the pictures Naruto is thinking about the attack at the funeral. None of the Clans would do something crazy as that. They wouldn't attack out in the open like that with some many people to see such an act. Too many people there, too many VIPs, too many witnesses.

'Who ever attack the funeral wanted something, but what?'

"Ano," Naruto is brought out of his train of thought, "What are we going to do, Naruto-san?"

"I don't know. No one came fourth to way they attacked the funeral. It doesn't make since and why they were after you,"

"It can't be because I'm an Heiress, can it?"

"How knows?" Naruto shrugs his shoulders, "Too many questions and not enough answers," Naruto scratches the back of his head

"Um…" Hinata's cheeks redden, "I… I want to a- ask you something, Naruto-san?"

"Sure, Hinata, want do you want to ask?"

"A- Ask you know that I have a fiance… I don't want to marry him, but I don't want my sister to be forced to marry because I don't want to be married. I…" Hinata calms down and takes a breath, "I want you to help me."

Naruto knew what Hinata was asking. Talia asked the same thing. He leans down to her to place a hand on her cheek. Hinata leans in his hand.

"I know this is asking a lot of you, but I don't want to marry. I want to do things on my own and not have to lose everything. Please, help me, Naruto-san," pleads Hinata

"I'll help you, Hinata. The only thing that I'd ask is to see the child when I can,"

"That's fine. I want to spend more time with you and to get to know you better." Naruto leans over to gently kiss her.

Hinata slowly opens her eyes. The sun shines through the open window as the wind blows the currents. She feels an arm wraps around her stomach to pull her back. Hinata lays there to remember that the last week has been a dream come true. For once she's gotten a chance to live a life like a normal person, and not as an Heiress of the Hyuga Clan. It is like a fantasy that she doesn't want to wake up from. After the first night that she spent with Naruto they lived like husband and wife til they gotten word from his grandmother to stay where they are til further notice.

"Are you awake, Hinata?" Naruto asks

"Hmm, I don't want to get up,"

"I know, but we have too. It's almost eleven; plus we have to clean up the house because Baa-chan will be coming by to let us know what's happening in Tokyo,"

"I suppose…" Hinata says with dread.

Hinata doesn't want to get up. She just wants to stay there in bed with Naruto and not start the day. But she knows that this dream, this fantasy has to come to an end eventually. With a heavy heart Hinata gets up to dress and to begin the day. Naruto himself has been loving the downtime. Not having to worry about training, having to worry about missions, not having to worry about anything really. It is peaceful.

Not too long after there is a knock at the front door. Naruto opens the door with a knife out of sight. He stops himself as he sees Tsunade standing there. She raises an eyebrow at him.

"May I come in? I have some news that you might want to hear." said Tsunade.

Naruto lets his grandmother inside the house. Tsunade looks around to see if anything is broken or out of place. She sniffs the air.

'Smells like sex,' she looks over at Hinata who is blushing every time she looks at Naruto, 'Of course they would be having sex! I'm going to have a talk to this grandson of mine. I swear if she get's pregnant!'

"Naruto, I have some good news and some bad news," Tsunade says as she sits down at the table, "What do you want to here first?"

"Good news I guess,"

"Hinata isn't the target that we all thought,"

"Why… Why did everyone thought I was the target?" asked Hinata

"You were near the real target," the busty granny looks over to Naruto, "Naruto, you were the real target,"

"What!?" Naruto says in surprised, "How can I of been the target?"

"This is the bad news. Slade Wilson was the one that placed a price on your head. Your master wants you dead." Tsunade gives her grandson the terrible news.

Naruto sits there. Slade, his Master wants him dead. Someone who trained him since his mother had died. Someone who taught him just about everything he knows about fighting. A man that his mother plead to take him in.

"Naruto, I know that this is hard for you to comprehend, but there is more. Slade has challenged you where to a death battle. The only clue is where everything begun. Do you know where that is?"

"Of course…" Naruto stands up and walks over to the open window, "The place that Mom's buried."

-Miami, Florida-

Naruto walks down the pier; the very same pier that his mother is buried at. It's been eleven years. Eleven years since he started to travel on this path. Everything that he has been doing. Everything that he has been learning. Everything has been leading to this. The battle that has been leading too. The battle between the master and the apprentice. A battle to see if the master did their job and taught their apprentice, or if they failed and showed that they can't teach.

Naruto comes to a stop, "You can come out now, Slade!"

Deathstroke steps out behind from a building, "It's been eleven years, Naruto. Do you remember this place?" Deathstroke asks as he walks over to the rails, "This place that your mother pleaded that I would take you; to train you to have revenge for her,"

"Of course I'd remember," replies Naruto, "How can I forget that day? The day that I made a promise. So this is it, isn't it?"

"Yes," Deathstroke grips the rails, "Get you equipment and face me on the beach. There we will see if you are ready for what's to come."

oxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

The Golden Devil checks his 1911 that he customized. The barrel has been extend two inches, the trigger is a solid piece made for easier firing, and the receiver has been polished to a dime. His 44. Magnum is heavy as ever, and his sword is ready.

'This is it. Time to put everything that I learn and show that I am ready for the world. That I am ready to step out of the darkness and into the light.'

Naruto stands up and turns to face Dathstroke. The one eyed assassin is waiting for his young apprentice. Out of all of Slade's apprentices Naruto has been the only one to continue his training, and not tried to kill him. The funny thing; Slade saw that Naruto is the only one that didn't come to Slade for training like how he forced Robin to become his apprentice, or how Terra wanted to be trained. This young man is the only one that never asked for training, never wanted the training but took it all in. It just shows that those who wanted it never could handle the training to become want he wanted.

'Funny how that is! He is the only one that didn't want the training, but could take the punishment and asked for more. Your mother would be proud. Your people has made a mistake by denying the males that they kill at birth. The Amazons are fools.'

And here it is; the long road comes to a gate. A gate that must be passed. Deathstroke takes out a silver dollar and holds it up to eye level. Naruto sees this and understands what Deathstroke is saying without any words. Deathstroke tossed the silver dollar up in the air.

The air is tense. A knife could cut the heavy air. The Golden Devil makes a fist as the wish blows which kicks up some sand. The coin slowly flips through the air as it spins and spins. The coin hits the sand. Both of them draw their guns and fired at each other. Naruto unloads his 44. Magnum and Deathstroke unloads his 1911.

Gunshots echo across the beach as they stand there, waiting, watching. Blood drips down to the sand with Naruto dropping his gun to grab his arm. The bullet didn't hit is arm, just cut his it. Deathstroke had several of his armor plates cracked and broken. Naruto rushes Deathstroke to delivers a hard right and then a left straight. Deathstroke takes out a pole that extends which he uses to hits Naruto in the face. Spinning around Naruto uses that to take his sword out and swings his sword at his teacher.

Raising his staff to block his apprentice's sword strike before pushing him away. Deathstroke spins his staff around to hit Naruto's right leg, right arm, left arm, left shoulder, chin, the right side of his head, and then striking him in chest. Naruto flies back to crash into the sands behind him. Growling the Golden Devil leaps up and towards Deathstroke with his sword raised up. Slade blocks the sword swing, but the edge of the blade becomes red which in turn cuts through the staff. Acting quickly the assassin twists his body to dodge the sword swing. Stomping his foot down Deathstroke upper cuts Naruto then grabs his shirt to throw him.

Naruto takes out his 1911 to fire at Slade. Slade dodges the bullets with years of training. He then throws his staff which hits Naruto hand forcing him to drop his 1911. Naruto rushes and leaps towards Deathstroke. The one eyed assassin grabs the airborne Golden Devil and throws him into the ground hard. Slade takes out a knife and thrusts the knife down. Naruto catches the knife with his palm though the blade goes through his palm. Slade pushes adding his weight down forcing the blade down further. Seeing that Naruto is using his super strength Slade takes out a syringe. Inside the syringe is a cocktail that Slade has been working on over the years. It is in a since a fake version of what gave him all of his abilities, though it is not as strong and it only works for a few minutes.

Slade uses the syringe and his strength grows and doubles. Gritting his teeth Naruto struggles with holding back Slade. The blade inches closer and closer to his eye. Smirking, Slade pushes hard and with that the knife goes into Naruto's right eye. Using the pain to force Slade off and then delivers a heavy upper cut that breaks off Deathstroke's helmet off. Naruto drops to his knees breathing heavy. Slade walks over to Naruto and grabs him by the back of his head. The one eyed assassin injects Naruto with a syringe which empties, tossing it, then injects Naruto with another syringe. Slade walks away from Naruto to let the cocktail to work in his body.

"This is it, my apprentice. Our final moment," he raises his fist up in the air, "This battle is coming to a close. This battle may end, but the war still rages on. But…" Slade turns around to face his apprentice as he works to get up on his knees, "We still have a score to settle."

Naruto's head shot straight up with blood running down his face. The Golden Devil slowly stands up taking his stance. Slade takes the rest of the remains of his helmet off. Slade takes his stance.

"Show me what you've got, Naruto!" Slade yelled out.

Naruto throws a punch with Slade grabbing it and toss him to the ground. The blonde quickly rolls to his feet to take his stance once more. Naruto throws out a kick that Slade not only blocks but grabs Naruto by his shirt and throws him to the ground once again. Naruto rolls out of the way before could punch the ground. Slade throws out a punch which this time Naruto blocks and throws his master to the ground. With Slade rolling to his feet to stand and retake his stance. They circle around each other.

Slade throws a punch that Naruto blocks and puts in an arm lock. The one eyed assassin spins around to elbow the blonde in the face that forced Naruto on the ground. Getting back to his feet Naruto punches Slade just for the old man to grab his arm, knees him in the chest, and throws him to the ground. Naruto throws out his feet to kick Slade away to get up with his guard up. Slade holds up a syringe that Naruto gives the old assassin a strange look. He then takes and uses the syringe. He roars out and throws off all of his armor. Slade rushes Naruto with heavy and hard punches. Naruto blocks all the punches as he feels all the pain. Striking his stomach, tries again though a block stops it, a strike to the chin, backhand, strong kidney punch causes Naruto to stumble.

Naruto then blocks another punch, catches an elbow and puts it in an arm lock. Slade turns around to elbow Naruto in his face and goes for a second elbow, but the blonde elbows him in the back of the head. Naruto rushes the old man with a series of punches and a few kicks that are all blocked before a lucky punch got in; then the blonde goes with a backhand, high kick, mid kick that was block, then a low kick causing Slade to lose his footing. High kick to Slade's face, another high kick, then Naruto spins around to delivers another kick, but Slade catches him.

Slade slams Naruto to the ground with him doing a front flip that causes the old man to land on Naruto, flollowed by an elbow to the face. Naruto only had enough time to catch Slade throwing a punch out before whaling on him over and over again. The one eyed assassin savagely beats his apprentice. The punches slowly to a stop as Slade becomes tried and breathes heavy. Slade takes out another syringe and takes it. Naruto looks up grabs the syringe and takes it. The old man takes back the syringe and takes it; Naruto dislocates one of Slade's fingers, causing Slade to lose focus and lets Naruto to the rest of the syringe. The blonde kicks Slade off of him. Naruto rolls over onto his stomach and gets to his knees. Slade gets on his knees and put his finger back into place.

Rising to his feet, "SLADE!" yelled out Naruto

"NARUTO! shouted out Slade as he too get on his feet.

They circle each other. Naruto does a roundhouse kick which Slade blocks with his elbow. Follow by an upper cut that Slade blocks with both of his arms, punch to the temple, then a kick to the throat. The blonde does a leap kick that Slade just steps out of the way. Slade does a cross with Naruto blocks, but Slade uses that to throw a punch to Naruto's throat with the one eyed assassin hits both of the side of Naruto's head. Dazed, but blocks a punch with an elbow. Throws an elbow to block, delivers a strong punch to Naruto's stomach, cross punch, another cross punch. The blonde punched Slade's temple. Losing his breath, Naruto drops to his knees. Slade walks over to grab Naruto's hair to punch the blonde's chest, strike his throat with an elbow, pulls his head back to deliver a knee to the back of the head.

Naruto stumbles forward trying to catch his breath. Slade throws several punches that Naruto uses a boxing stance to block them from doing an major damage. The blonde catches his master to knee him in the side, punch to the face, and throws another punch, but Slade used his forehead to block it. Slade grabs Naruto by the hair to headbutt the blonde once, then twice, but Naruto kicks Slade before he could do a third headbutt. Naruto leap towards Slade only to be kicked in the stomach with the blonde staring up at the sky.

The new one eyed blonde stands growling at his master. They throw a punch at each other for their fists to meet one another. High kick to high kick, low kick to low kick, high kick to high kick, torso blow to torso blow with them both stumbling back; they quickly rush a punch to each other faces. They lean forward before headbutting each other to only drop to their knees. Two syringes fall out of Slade's pockets. Reaching down to pick up the syringe Naruto looks at Slade who has a syringe in his hand too. They both inject each other with the syringes. They both stand up and tossed the syringes away. They back away from each other to take their stances.

Giving it his all Naruto delivers combos that are fast and heavy. Slade using his experience over the years to block his apprentice's attacks. It seems like hours with this fight. It felt like it lasted days. It feels like there is no end in sight. Noticing that Slade took a mistep Naruto delivers a very heavy punch to Slade causing the old man fall to his knees.

"This… This is what I've been waiting for…" he looks at his tired apprentice, "I've fought the battle that any person would loved to fight for. You've done what I wanted you too," Slade slowly stands to his feet, "Come! Let me die like a warrior!"

Naruto slams his foot on the ground with enough force to cause the sand to fly up. He rears his fist back. The muscles in his arm grows and bulges as veins become visual. Yelling out Naruto throws his fist towards his master.

Slade watches as the fist comes closer and closer, 'This is how I want to die. At the hands of my apprentice. You Naruto have surpassed me. You are now Deathstroke.'

Naruto punches Slade's head with enough force and power to leave his shoulders. Naruto himself used the last of his strength with that last punch crashes down onto the sand. He lays there watching his master's body to fall over before closing his eye.

-Author's Note-

I will be trying to write a chapter every two weeks and if I miss an update that following two weeks I'll update two chapters at once. It is now where the first chapter left off. And for the lemons they will have their own stories because I don't want to put them in this. This is story driven, not smut driven.
