3. Chapter 3

C3, The Liberation

"Talking." 'Thoughts.'

A/N: I would like to first apologize for taking so long with the third chapter of this story, but things in my life have been a little hectic at the moment, I also haven't been able to go online for a while. I have also recently begun to play the latest AC game and have recently picked one up for the Nintendo DS and I am hoping to get more story ideas as well as to seeing more of characters pasts. As for some of your reviews, one of the first I would like to address is the one about using Western names, thinking of names is a lot harder than most people think for my OC's, but I have also looked at the manga itself as well and have noticed that in a way the world of Naruto has many different creeds and religions living in it after all there are people who could be from African and Hispanic descent as well as pickup Caucasian and Asian and was one of the reasons I came up with the idea for this story to take place after the event that occurs in 2012 with the sun that Desmond has to stop thanks to the first civilizations temples that they left behind. In my story that's the reason why Chakra exists. I also intend to explain where the other bloodlines came from in future chapters as Naruto and the other assassins will begin to find lost knowledge that was hidden by the Templars, I also haven't decided if any of the pieces of Eden will make an appearance in the Fallen, but I also realized that I want to make more than one story and that this would be part one. I hope to in time to read your reviews and see what ideas you guys come up with, I will put another author's note at the end of the chapter to explain some of the things in it please read and review.

Aizen walked around the market area observing the scene before him, he had never seen anything like this before and it was startling to see. The destruction was definitely a surgical type strike that was designed to cause maximum damage to their forces but leave the civilians unharmed, he was impressed and enamored by their skills for doing such a thing but at the same time he was also furious.

As he walked further into the market he came upon the Bounty Hunter Bane who was also admiring his new adversaries and their work, Aizen had worked with the Bounty Hunter many times before and knew that some of his prey was easier than others but this would not be one of those times.

Bane turned his head to Aizen and said, "They were quite impressive really, now that I look at this scene I can tell that this was a spur of the moment kind decision. Perhaps initiated by the discovery of Lady Kukaku, they were able to improvise on the spot. A most dangerous kind of adversary to hunt and fight but also quite a bit of fun to hunt for me and my men, but this is one enemy I must know about them if I am to hunt them successfully."

"We should be out looking for them Bane, they couldn't have gotten too far by now?" "No, you forget the ones who did this are with them, we cannot afford to lose any more of our men to these people until we know who we are fighting and how to counteract them."

Jack acted as the guide to the Assassins and to Lady Kukaku as they moved through the crowds trying to get to an area where the resistance had a strong presence and could assist them; a few times he thought he'd lost the three warriors that he had brought only to see them reappear from within the crowds occasionally keeping him and the two people he was protecting with in eyesight. The rest of his crew that had assisted them in Lady Kukaku's rescue had headed back to the shipping docks to await pickup, he finally found the shop he was looking for and rushed them in as fast as he could. To his surprise the three Assassins were already standing inside the shop waiting for him.

He was truly surprised by their abilities in the art of stealth, they sensed he was about to ask a question when Raven held up his hand to silence Jack for just a moment and then spoke, "Although I am quite old Capt. I have never lost my ability to blend in with the crowd, after all who do you think taught them how to do the same."

He could not think of any response to that only to say, "I only knew the old AQUA ninja units were capable of that, my wife used to be one before she was murdered. But I think you three did it a hell of a lot better than they ever did, well anyways we should be safe here for the time being. And it is a pleasure to meet you again Lady Kukaku, I only wish it was under better circumstances."

The young woman was truly surprised to see the young captain once more standing before her, it was clear that her 7-year-old son had almost no idea of what was truly going on, "Mother, why he calls you Lady like your loyalty or something?"

"Because she is a young one, just as you are as well." Said the voice of a man in his late 60s walking out of the back of the shop, he then walked up to the shops front door, locking it and flipping the open sign to close and turning to look at everyone in the room. He was happy to see that Jack had safely returned to his homeland but was also equally happy to see the rightful rulers of the Land of Water standing before him as well. But one of the true shocks and pleasures for him was to see three Assassins also standing in his shop including one he recognized, "Raven is that you?"

"It is agreeable to see you again my old friend, I see that the years have been quite kind to you."

"Not as kind as I would like it to be my old friend, I have had to watch a great many people who are quite innocent die at the hands of these Templars. Come in the back all of you, it's much safer there."

Aizen and Bane walked down a long corridor that led to one of many war rooms that were used by the current Water Daimyo to plan his next move against his future enemies and his desires for the Land of Spring, lining the corridors were the special Red Guard that protected the Daimyo's Palace and himself at all times. It was very rare for one of them to be sent on a mission but it usually meant the target would be killed, no matter how good the Red Guard were they knew they were no match for the two men walking down the corridor. As they entered one of the many war rooms they came upon the current Water Daimyo Sado himself overseeing possible sites for invasions into the Lands of Spring as well as the Lands of Waves.

He then looked them both in the eyes and said, "I hear you had a bit of trouble today Bane, someone was in fact trying to actually kill you as well. I never thought I would actually live to see the day that someone would grow that big a pair of balls to try to kill you. Guess I was wrong about that one, but I also hear that you almost had my sister-in-law and that brat of hers. So where are they?"

Bane was the first to speak, "We believe she is with the people who destroyed one of our local garrison towers, and it appears that on one of their patrols they found her there buying food in the market it happened to be right next to the tower. Unfortunately I believe a new kind of enemy has also come to the Land of Water thanks to Capt. Jack Web."

"Web? As I recall Aizen, you said he would be no threat to us once he was out of our territories. But he has become one of the seven Marriner Lords who has put a price on all of our heads for what we've done. And as I recall this Pirate has a very large bounty on your head because you killed his wife as I recall. And now he's helping her to avoid me. You do know that if she comes to power all three of us will be killed, right?" Aizen could only nod his head.

Sado gave what could only be described as a threatening smile, "Good, now double your efforts and find her. And make it fast we are running a bit short on time here. Has there been any luck in locating the resistances stronghold?"

"We still cannot locate it Lord Sado, but we will double our efforts." Aizen said.

"Now that's what I like to hear, Aizen begin work at once and you'd better have some results for me. Bane I would like you to stay for a moment, I want to hear more about this new enemy." He finished saying with a dark smile and a light chuckle.

It had been a few minutes since they had arrived in the old man's shop and they were currently waiting for the arrival of someone from the resistance, when the back door opened it revealed a young woman with red flowing hair and a blue battle dress who entered the room, the minute she saw Kukaku she was beyond happy, "My Lady it is a pleasure to see you once more, I came as soon as I could."

She turned her head to look at the entire room and was surprised to see three strange hooded people standing off in a corner looking ready for any kind of action. She then turned to the shopkeeper and asked, "I thought those stories of the assassins you told us were just that, stories."

"I can assure you Mei, these people are no stories that stand before you now, and they are the real thing." He said to her as she walked up to them and introduce herself, "My name is Mei and I am one of the four leaders of the resistance here in the capital. I personally thought you were just stories that he would tell us."

"We almost wore, by name is Raven Uzumaki. Current mentor and leader of the Assassin's Brotherhood and Sisterhood, and these are my students."

Washi and Yugito then walked forward and introduced themselves, "I am Washi Naruto Uzumaki."

"And I am Yugito Nii."

Mei was surprised to find out that any of the Uzumaki clan had survived the attack on their home village and country, the stories she had been told about the assassins providing from the shadows to preserve mankind's freedom gave her inspiration. She then turned her attention fully to Kukaku, "My lady we have been searching for you for a long time now, we feared that Sado had succeeded in killing you and your child."

The young boy was at a loss for words, he had heard the stories of the late Daimyo's wife who had died because of the bloodline users, but to think that his own mother was the rightful ruler of this country was a shock to say the least and a bit of an overload for one so young, he just had to know, "Can someone please tell me what the hell is going on?"

Kukaku snapped her head around to her son and said in a firm tone, "Watch that mouth of yours young man, I don't want to hear that kind of language from you."

But this did nothing to lay his mind at ease, his mother had seen this and decided it was time to tell her story, "You have a right to know who we really are Toshiro, and if you three have come to help liberate our country as I believe then you all have a right to know what happened to this country as well."

Every one of them gathered around her or took a seat to listen to her tail, "It was different back then, despite our ninja village's bloody reputation we were a land at peace. My husband had just been appointed the new Daimyo of the Land and Water. And together with the Daimyo of the Land of Snow and our new Mizukage we begin working to together to make our futures brighter than ever before, for them a generator that could finally give them a true spring, and for us the ability to help the less fortunate and those who really need it. Some even said we were trying to create a perfect world that one made me laugh. But we were really rocking and eventually found out I was pregnant with my son here, before he was to be born that's when it all changed."

"So what happened?" Yugito asked.

"My Brother-in-law Sado, he and the spring's Daimyo's brother happened." She said with a bit of bitterness in her voice.

"I remember that day in every detail no matter how much I want to forget it; we were in the courtyard of the Daimyo's palace meeting with the Mizukage who happened to be a Jinchuriki of the Three Tailed Turtle and several Clan heads that had bloodline's had come to discuss the future of the Village Hidden in the Mist. That's when we saw them both walking in; Sado was a trained warrior and general of our standing army. He even had his own division known as the Red Guard and used them that very day against us."

As she told her story to them she also relived the exact event in her mind as she told, one moment she was laughing and holding her belly that contained her soon to be born child and laughed at the antics of their guests, she then felt a presence and turned her head to see her brother-in-law wearing a strange kind of armor walking into the courtyard with a clear objective in his eyes.

"Brother!" "Yes." "Do you want me to bring true peace and order to this world?" The Daimyo was a bit taken aback by this question and simply replied, "Yeah."

A determined look came upon his face as he activated something on the armor that then created a helmet to protect his face in the coming battle; she instantly became concerned about her well-being and that of her family. Her voice then narrated over the scene playing out in her mind as she told her story to the people before, "It was a coup, I saw the Red Guard coming out of everywhere. It was clear that he had been planning this for some time. I then saw your father had turned to the ninjas and telling them to get me and you out of there. That's when I saw the man in that mask grab the Mizukage and forcing him to look into his eyes, I'd never seen a red eye like that before. I could tell that he was corrupting that man, before he became the masked man's slave he told us to run, I then saw Snow ninjas grab onto your father and hold him there as your uncle walked up to him. And the whole time he just asked him "why" over and over again. I saw his own brother kill him, and the bloodline users got me out of there. One of the clans that could control their bones and do things with them decided to fight back and reclaim my throne for me they sent me off with people they could trust to protect me until you were born. But Sado knew that all the bloodline clans would soon know the truth about what he's done. He never liked them anyways so he ordered them to be wiped out."

Jack then said, "The Purge!"

"He tried to wipe them out?" Washi asked.

"Yes, it was Genocide. Many clans have been wiped out; only a handful or remnants of the clans are left now. And most of them are the leaders of the resistance fighting against Sado's rule, they ultimately smuggled me into the capital knowing that it was a much larger place and easier to hide from him. But he never stopped looking for us. He knows that we can challenge his rule and put an end to him once and for all." She said.

Mei was surprised by her story all the more but decided to tell them the awful truth about things to come, "I'm afraid to say that your survival may be a moot point by this time my Lady, we recently received word from one of our spies that Sado has been preparing some kind of invasion force that he intends to use within the next two months, we just don't know his intended target yet."

Raven then realized just how important their presence here really was, he then decided to ask a bit more of this young woman, "So he intends to bring war upon a new land, we must stop him while there is time and to do that we will need your help in this endeavor Mei."

"Are you three out of your minds, he intends to bring more war to another land and is just too powerful, we cannot stop him at this point anymore. All we can do now is hide from him and his forces."

Washi then decided to ask her a question, "I take it for his plans to succeed he needs total control of this city, which means whenever he's building is really close by?"

"Yes, we know that much."

"Good. It's time to bring a little chaos to their order, my lovely Yugito would you care to join me in the liberation of this country?"

She gave him a smile and said, "Of course."

Mei was shocked by this and began to say, "Are you two out of your minds, they are going to kill you two!"

Raven however said to her, "That would be unlikely, you really should have paid more attention to the stories my old friend here was telling. Your tyrant is about to get a bloody nose thanks to the Assassins."

Washi and Yugito were now standing atop one of the many buildings that had a clear line of sight view of the control towers that dotted the skyline of the capital city of Water Country, they were currently staring down two towers not that far from each other. The two assassins had decided to take them down at about the same time due to the fact that it would keep the garrisons quite busy and unable to watch the other tower for their planned attack.

Yugito Had observed that there were many centuries walking the roofs of the buildings in the immediate area of the towers, it was also clear that they were on edge knowing that one of the towers had already fallen that day. She then said, "This will be no walk in the park for us, but it's also clear that they haven't learned to expect the unexpected."

Washi then said to her, "We will take out as many of the guards as we can before we hit the towers, think of it as one of the exercises Raven would put us through. The first objective should be to take out as many of the guards we can without being detected and then we move on to our next target which will be the captain of the garrison then we blow the towers and continue for a little bit hunting as many of Sado's men as we can. Are you up for the challenge?"

She gave him a huge grin as she turned to look him in the eyes and said, "Oh, I'm game."

Sado had listened to everything Bane had told him about the warriors who had destroyed the tower and killed close to two full garrisons of his men, it was clear to him that if they were not stopped soon it would be catastrophic to his plans and his control of the city. Before he could ask another question of Bane he heard a loud explosion and rushed out upon one of the palaces many balconies to look out upon his city only to see that two of his towers had just come crashing down upon themselves.

The look of hatred upon his face which was shocking to say the least as he turned to Bane and said in a commanding voice, "Take an entire squad of the Red Guard and kill them, I don't care how you do it. Just get it done."

"With pleasure my Lord!"

XX

Washi and Yugito had taking down the towers in no time at all; the number of guards guarding the towers had been increased slightly but not enough to stop the two highly trained assassins from destroying them and killing their captains. The two of them had stayed in the immediate area of one of the towers to observe what the response from the Daimyo would be, and it did not take long for the reinforcements to arrive upon the scene.

They saw normal soldiers walking alongside a group of soldiers with heavy duty red armor and impressive looking weapons; at the head of this group was none other than the man who had managed to avoid Ravens killing shot. "That must be the Red Guard we have heard so much about, and that guy again."

"I think we should test them, we should send some shadow clones down there to engage them while we observe the battle from a distance. That way we can withdraw a lot faster and get back to the others, we need to ask Mei some questions when we get back." She nodded to him and began to perform the Jutsu alongside him and watched as the two clones made their way towards the enemy forces directly below them.

Bane walked in front of his Battalion of Red Guard that consisted of more than 20 men and eight regular city guards who were now walking the area that had once held one of their great towers that allowed them to control this great city, Bane and his men were currently keeping their eyes open for their prey. The civilians who saw the Red Guard walking their streets ran away knowing that no one had ever defeated the crack troops of the evil Daimyo, a great many of them had hidden themselves in alleys and shops to watch the coming battle.

As they entered the market square they then saw two individuals wearing unusual battle outfits with hoods standing on top of the buildings and watching them like a hawk, Bane could just make out that they were also wearing slightly different outfits and that the one in white was clearly a woman. As soon as the Red Guard saw them they themselves prepared for battle and watched in amazement as the two Warriors seem to just jump right off the buildings heating the ground like it was nothing and standing up as dirt and dust flew up into the air around them. Even for the crack Red Guard troops this was a bit intimidating to say the least.

The two warriors quickly unsheathed their weapons, the man in black unsheathed two rather dangerous looking swords with a strange symbol like an A with the middle part of the letter missing and inside was a strange symbol he had seen once before, the woman pulled out what looked like a long whip but looked far more dangerous. In the man's hands also was a strange circular object and plastered upon their faces was a smile as the woman motioned with her hand for them to come and get it, The eight regular city guards not waiting for orders from Bane rushed the two warriors only for the man to throw the circular object to the ground directly in front of them causing it to explode into a cloud of smoke that began to make them cough and stumble about the area.

To Bane's amazement the two warriors rushed right into the cloud itself and they could hear the sounds of the eight city guards being cut to pieces, as the smoke cleared one of them managed to walk out of it but it was clear he was not all right as he began to cough up blood and then his knees buckled and gave out under his weight hitting the ground hard which then caused parts of his upper body to just slide off as he had been cut into multiple pieces by the two warriors. When the smoke finally cleared the Red Guard were shocked to their core's as they observed the carnage before them, it was clear to them now that they were about to be in the fight of their lives.

The Red Guard instantly went into a defensive ring since they knew almost nothing about their enemy only that they were highly skilled and that the well-trained city guard who could handle most anything were no match for these warriors that stood before them, they likely had the numerical advantage here and training. Even Bane himself was preparing for the coming battle, without hesitation Bane gave the signal for the two far ends of the formation to begin their attacks upon the strange warriors. However they were unprepared for the woman to use her whip in a way that made it almost like a living creature which also made it unpredictable as the first of the guard to encounter it was literally cut in two from his shoulder down to his waist. His partner was able to deflect the weapon and moved to a safe distance if only for moment and then went on the attack once more to avenge his Comrade.

By now two others had joined in on the attack only to discover that the whip which should have given them the advantage in this confrontation as they were not a normally used weapon by any means since they are more commonly well known as a long-range offense weapon and were difficult to control leaving many openings would give one of them the opportunity to kill the woman but were finding this not the case with this particular weapon as it seemed to move on its own blocking every one of their attempts to move in on her and take her out. The Red Guard were unprepared for an opponent of this caliber and eventually began to make mistakes proving that they were in fact mortal, she managed to wrap her whip around one of them brought her hand back hard cutting him into pieces as she then made a another moment with her hand forcing part of the whip to hit one of the other guards in the face so hard that it knocked him out cold and severely damaged the armored facemask he had been wearing and the same movement brought a nether part of the whip slashing by a another guard's throat cutting it open for all the world to see.

The guards who attacked the warrior in black realized he was a close in fighter as they moved in to take him out as this was similar to their own training, but before they could even make a move against him he had already rushed in and cut down the first two guards, they then realized that these two warriors had clearly had elemental ninja training and were far more dangerous as this was their armor's one great weakness, the rest of the guard realizing the danger they were in now attacked en masse on their opponents. The woman was the first to be cut by a lucky guard strike only for her to explode in a cloud of smoke indicating that she had been a clone of some kind. This had distracted the warrior in black enough to be taken down as well exploding in a similar display leaving only smoke behind.

Bane surveyed the area and realized they were in serious danger as he recognized the fighting styles the Warriors had used and also this had just been two shadow clones that had managed to kill all but eight of the city guards who had come with his 20+ Red Guards, out of the 20 Red Guards that had accompanied him on this mission only seven were unharmed and two more were severely injured. He realized at this point he had to get back to Sado as soon as possible and tell him of this new development.

Washi and Yugito were well on their way to the shop where Raven and the resistance leader Mei were currently located when they received the memories of their clones, she turned to him and said, "They were tougher than we thought, it was a good thing we sent those shadow clones in instead of ourselves."

"Yes but, next time they will be ready for us Yugito. If we are to save these people we must begin to recruit new members of the brotherhood immediately, it will take time but eventually the Red Guard and their evil leader will fall and this land will be liberated from the control of the Templars."

The two of them walked directly into the shop only to be greeted by the sounds of arguing coming from the next room, they noticed Raven and the shop owner as well as Lady Kukaku standing next to the door listening to the argument happening with in, "You are an idiot Mei, you put us all in tremendous danger by coming here to even see if she was the real thing it could've been another trap set so they could kill us. Did you ever stop to think about that one?"

They could then hear Mei reply in a heated voice, "Like you? You believe the stories that she died in a terrible accident, you never once questioned their story or even bothered to look for her. Well I was right and you were very wrong, hell you didn't even believe the shopkeeper's stories about the Assassins and we know their real now."

"Please Mei; those three people are not Assassins. No one is going to come to our rescue or liberate this country except us!"

"Because of you all do is hide, we have had several chances to strike back at him and you hold us back saying that it's all too dangerous. I know that I and my faction have had enough of you Ra, you have done more damage to us than they have."

"How dare you say to me, you little bitch?"

Before he could hit her his hand was grabbed by none another then Raven who apply pressure to hurt the man just a bit causing him to look the old assassin right in the eyes, "I would show some restraint if I were you or you will have to answer to this imaginary Assassin and his students."

Ra managed to get his arm out of Ravens grip and then noticed both Washi and Yugito walking into the room with Kukaku directly behind them, as he took a look at the other two Assassins he realized that they were capable of killing him with no problems if he attempted to harm his fellow resistance leader.

Before Ra could say a word to the old Assassin another voice interrupts him first, "I agree with Mei that they are not just stories, and she is right you have proven to be great problem to us all." The man who said this was a tall man with dark skin and slicked back blonde hair with a pair of glasses as dark as the night sky upon his face concealing them from view, he turned to the assassins and said, "It is a pleasure to meet you three, my name is Tensa."

Mei walked over to him and said, "It's good to see that you've come Sensei but what keep you for so long in getting here?"

"I was admiring the hard work of the Assassins here; I'll have you all know that they killed more than 10 Red Guards and destroyed two more towers. Now as I recall Ra you said no one person could do that, will they did it. And I know I was watching them as they did it, I even had my faction of the resistance create a small diversion in a not too far off area so that they would be able to get in and out a lot faster."

The one man who had yet to introduce himself then decided to speak, "Is that true Tensa?"

"Yes."

"Then I am very happy to meet you three, my name is Cale and I am one of the 4 resistance leaders. May I ask what your names are?"

The three assassins gave him a bow and then one by one introduce themselves, "My name is Raven Uzumaki, and I am the current leader and mentor of the Assassins Brotherhood."

"Washi Naruto Uzumaki."

"Yugito Nii."

Ra then said, "We have two Jinchuriki and an old men from a dead clan who have supposedly come to save us, by having those two here we are putting ourselves in even more danger. In fact coming here was a mistake, I will not endanger my faction of the resistance any longer with this fool's stories of heroes who walk in darkness to serve the light. It's preposterous, we must hide from them, now I must be leaving and I will be taking the Lady Daimyo with me."

"You're not getting your way this time; there are three other factions of the resistance besides you and yours. But we will protect her and her son with every fiber of our being and I know so will the Assassins."

He gave a small growl and then walked out of the room saying, "Fine, but you'd better protect her or I'll kill you all."

With this said he walked out of the room and was gone from site, Raven then walked up to the other three resistance leaders as Mei then answered his unspoken question, "As you can see Master Assassin, we are divided into four factions and we don't always get along. It's made trying to free our home land nearly impossible I'm afraid to say, we generally have to agree on a course of action and then vote on it to execute said plan. Most of the time they are viewed as too dangerous and it's better that we do nothing. Ra, the resistance leader who just left usually says it's a way to assure our total destruction, so the only way to win is not to play. I have a feeling he's not going to help us and may even try to turn the people against you."

Raven then turned his head to the other two faction head leaders and asked, "So each of you has been forced to work together by him even when there was a chance at victory, why?"

It was Tensa who answered him, "Unfortunately because he has the stronger faction master assassin, if we try to operate him by ourselves his men will stop us. Fortunately he hasn't been able to make a move against anyone since the city went on lockdown by orders of Sado, luckily each faction of the resistance has its own speciality and we have our own connections with other guilds within this city."

"And these guilds would be?"

It was Cale who decided to answer this question, "My faction deals predominantly with the mercenaries and their bounty hunters who do not work with the one known as Bane, Mei here gathers intelligence from the cornerstones, and Tensa works with the thieves Guild. Ra would never accept any of these organizations help as he viewed them as beneath him or that the information was unreliable. He refused to make allies."

It was Washi who then ask the next question, "If someone has no allies how are they to win a war, and I take it that if we are to help you in this we will have to establish our own guild if we are to help this country out of its downward spiral?" "Yes, and if you have already taken the first steps in doing that, for the first time our enemies have been proven to be fallible. And for the first time you have proven that the legendary Red Guard are in fact mortal and can be killed, they have seen your work now they must know what you stand for you must introduce yourself to the people. If you three can do this many will come to your aid in the future and you can rebuild your order."

The shopkeeper then said to them, "If you are to rebuild the brotherhood then you will need the proper place to do it and it just so happens that your primary Den is still safe and sound thanks to me, here are your keys and I will assist you with whatever supplies you may need I also know several armor and weapons specialists throughout the city who will assist you."

Washi was pleased to know that they had a place to call their own already and turned to the door as he began to walk out, he knew exactly what he was going to do only be to grab by Yugito who then asked, "What are you up to?"

"I am going to announce our presence to the world, don't worry about me kitten, I will be all right. Help our mentor get the Den ready for its first set of recruits." She nodded her head a yes and then turned and walked over to Raven to stand right by him, the shopkeeper then walked up to him and handed him a map of the capital of the Land of Water and then said, "You must know where you are going to get to your new home, this will lead you there."

Washi gave the shop keeper a nod and then proceeded to walk out of the back door of the shop and instantly free run up the nearest building onto the roof and began to looking for a place to advertise his people. After about a minute he came upon a large market square that looked peaceful at first but then noticed six Red Guards walking into the square and began to harass the people there, Washi realized there were quite a few people who by the look of things wanted to fight back against the tyrant of this country but had been given no hope or inspiration to do so just as the resistance leader Ra had prevented the other three factions from fighting back.

He decided now was the best time to interfere and make his presence known to the world as well as the brotherhood and positioned himself in such a way so he could just leap down upon his and enemies. Soon two of the Red Guard came into range of him and then he quickly activated his hidden blades and made a daring jump burying the two blades into the back of the neck of the guards killing them instantly as he came to a sudden stop upon the ground and brought himself to his full height ready for combat at a moment's notice.

The other 4 Red Guards quickly turned to see what was going on and felt a new level of fear enter their bodies as they saw one of the people that had killed so many of their friends this very day, instead of thinking up a plan they rushed in lowering their hate and anger and fear to control them but their training was still dominant as they proved to be quite a match for the young assassin. But what the guards did not know is that the Assassins were trained in both offensive and defensive abilities, Washi instantly entered his counter attack mode and prepared for them to make the first moves and he did not have to wait very long as the first of them went in to impale him through the chest with his Battle staff only for Washi to grab hold of it and break the man's hold upon it he then quickly took the weapon as his own and with one sweeping motion quickly tripped two of the guards and then impaled the guard upon his own weapon right through his chest.

As Washi turned to greet his next attacker he felt a hard punch to his face from the bladed knuckles of one of the Red Guard who allowed his anger and fear to cloud his judgment and went on the attack without realizing the consequences of his actions as they had left him completely vulnerable to the hidden blade of the assassin who had buried it deep into his chest ending his life right then and there.

The last two guards realized they were fighting an enemy who could adapt to their own tactics at the drop of a hat and quickly went into a defensive mode as fast as possible waiting for him to make the first move. Unfortunately the guard who had been disarmed decided he wanted payback and rushed the assassin who quickly dropped him to the ground and brought his foot down crushing his larynx making it impossible for the man to continue to breathe normally as the thick mask they want for protection was now making impossible for the man to breathe.

The last guard noticed the blood upon the man's face and noticed it was only a flesh wound and then noticed that he had also taken out five of the best Red Guards and realized he was no match for this man and quickly dropped his weapons and ran away as fast as he could, Washi then felt his face and noticed a scar had formed and realized it resembled three of his ancestors he smiled and gave a laugh and then said to in a way to his tenant, "Very funny Kurama."

He then began to look around the square and noticed several people were saying things about the Assassins Brotherhood or the Uzumaki clan, he then decided to make his speech to the people and give them perhaps their first ray of hope in years, "My name is Washi Naruto Uzumaki of the Brotherhood of Assassin's. We are still here we will fight your tyrant of a ruler because he is not your rightful ruler, earlier today with the help of your resistance we saved Lady Kukaku from them. Our Brotherhood's fight for mankind's freedom will begin here in the Land of Water, if any of you wish to help us in freeing your country from the tyranny of the Templars then join us and begin the liberation of the Land of Water."

To his immediate supervised several people came out of the crowd and bowed before him, one of them a young woman with a scar going to across her cheek stood up and looked him in the eyes and then said, "We have heard the stories of your kind Assassin and we will join you in your fight for our homeland and any others that may come."

He gave a smile to them and then said, "You will have to train hard and this will not be an easy life, are you all sure you wish to do this?" They all nodded their heads yes, he then motioned for them to follow him to the Den.

Bane walked alongside Sado as they looked at the scene before them, Sado would not have believed that his Red Guards could be so easily defeated by a group of foreign warriors who had already become a major thorn in his side. But it was the look on Bane's face that truly surprised him the most, he then decided to ask what was on his mind, "You seem troubled Bane."

"I may have every reason to be as well as you."

This caught the attention of Sado who then asked, "What do you mean?" "My father who is also your benefactor when you rose to power taught me about a particular clan that should be dead, just in case they somehow survived. He taught me to recognize their fighting style and their type of dress, and I'm sorry to say I think they have returned. If it's true we are in a tremendous amount of danger for they are are natural enemies, these Assassins."

"What was the name of this clan?"

"The Uzumaki Clan."

This stopped Sado dead in his tracks, "I always thought the stories of the assassins were just that, stories. But you're telling me that the greatest enemy of the Templars, us has somehow managed to survive to this very day is now returned to finish us off."

Bane could only nod his head as he then remembered that there was one last Uzumaki in the Hidden Leaf Village, but that boy was too young to be the assassin who he had seen that day and realized that another had survived as well. "If only we knew who these new assassins were, we would be able to fight back more effectively."

It was at this Moment that a soldier ran up to them and bowed, it was clear by his demeanor that something had happened, "My Lords, five of the Red Guard that were on a routine patrol outside of the palace walls were slain by in unknown individual in any black battle outfit with a hood on and then claim to be an Assassin and then proceeded to introduce himself to the people."

"What was his name?"

"Washi Naruto Uzumaki."

End of C3

Sado and the Red Guard are based off of TRON Legacy's characters of C.L.U and his black guard, the red guard look exactly like the black guard from the movie but without the data disk and will prove to be one of the most dangerous threats to the assassins besides Bane and Sado. I don't know when the next chapter will come out but I hope to begin work on it soon and also hope to introduce the three other guild leaders, as for the way I set up the resistance, I wanted a reason why the assassins had to come to the land of water in the first place and why the resistance had not won the war. I hope you all like it, please read and review.
