C4, Of Hosts and Assassins

"Talking." 'Thoughts.'

XX

Washi and the new recruits had just walked into the Den and were truly amazed by its sheer size; Washi gave the Dan a good look around and was impressed to say the least. Washi could only whistle and say to himself, "We Assassins sure know how to build things."

"Yes you do." A female voice said.

Washi and the recruits turned their heads to see Raven and Yugito walking up to them as well as Mei and two women he did not recognize, Raven was however the first to speak to him, "I see that you have successfully brought us some new recruits but I am afraid that your day is not over just yet."

Mei and the two women walked up to him as she then introduced them to him, "Washi, allow me to introduce you to Rosa leader of the Courtesans Guild, and this is the Cat leader of the Thieves Guild."

Both of them bound to him, but it was Cat who then spoke with a sense of urgency in her voice, "It is a pleasure to meet you Master Assassin but I am afraid that I will have to keep our introduction's short as there is a matter that requires your immediate attention!"

"And that would be master thief?" He asked of her.

"There is still one tower you must destroy today, but before you do that you must save the people inside. Including the host of the seven tailed beetle before she is used as a bargaining chip for the organization now known as the."

"The Akatsuki!" both Washi and Yugito said at the same time surprising the Thief and Courtesan leaders, it was clear to them that the two had had some dealings with the organization and not in a good way.

Washi looked the Cat right in the eyes and then asked, "Where is this tower that we might save our fellow host and the people who are held there?"

The Cat then realized how important this was to them and quickly snapped her fingers and within seconds a young woman in a form fitting clothing ran into the room and bowed to the woman awaiting her orders, "What do you wish of me my master?"

The Cat could only roll her eyes at the young woman's choice of words and then spoke, "Do I look like I'm from Star Wars Momo?"

"Sometimes, my master." She replied.

The Cat let out a small growl of frustration and then said to Momo, "This is not the time to be cute with me Momo, these two need to be taken to the tower where the Jinchuriki of the seven tailed beetle is being held and be quick about it as time is not our ally right now!"

With this said the demeanor of the young woman changed in an instant and she beckoned for them to follow her, to the young thieves surprise they had almost no problems keeping up with her and at times she found it hard to keep up with them as they had determined looks upon their faces, it was clear that a another tower would be destroyed this day and she would have front row seats to the event about to occur.

Within a minute of traveling they could see that there were a very large number of towers where they were heading, Momo seeing that they were about to ask a question decided to answer is the best she could, "One of the reasons that there are so many towers here is to keep the Mercenary Guild in check, if they had free run of the city they could help the resistance and us out much more than they already can as a result they are basically trapped in that section unable to assist anyone. Besides the number of towers by the palace this is the highest concentration in all of the towers in the capital city."

Both of the assassins filed this away for future questions and focused on the mission at hand, they would not allow one of their kind to be used as a bargaining chip any longer or to allow the Akatsuki to succeed in their plans.

As they looked out upon the scene before them Momo pointed to one tower in particular that appeared larger than the others and then said, "That's the tower she is being held in at this time but you must hurry, they are planning to move her to the palace as soon as possible for holding."

"What are the differences like?" Washi asked her.

"There is an equivalent of four garrisons guarding this tower, I and the other thieves are going to create a diversion so hopefully you two can safely make it inside and only have two garrisons to contend with. And there is also this."

The two assassins were surprised when she handed them what looked like a huge bomb, she then said, "This should help you destroy the tower when you're making your escape, just remember that it has a two-minute delay and cannot be stopped once you activate the bombs fuse."

Washi quickly put the bomb in one of his many utility pockets and then said to her, "I think you for all you and your guild has done for us and how soon can we expect that distraction?"

"Just give us a minute starting now." She said to him as she jumped off the roof they had been standing on and met up with a small group of thieves who incidentally engaged several of the guards stealing items from them and running in the opposite direction to give the assassins the time they needed to complete their mission."

Without hesitation the two of them then performed a leap of faith and quickly blended with the crowd as they managed to enter the tower without anyone seeing them do it, each one of the guards that they encountered was quickly and quietly dispatched as they made their way further into the tower.

Washi had already activated his Eagle vision and used its power to guide them on their journey to locate the host of the seven tailed beetle who was currently being held here, after several more guards being killed by them they finally came to a section of the tower that looked as if it had been designed to hold people for extended periods of time and it was clear to them that there were still several bodies inside some of the cells that had been left to rot and decay.

Yugito quickly covered her nose to keep the foul stench from distracting her and a giving away their position, much to both of their dismay they found that no one had survived their ordeal in this place of hell but then began to hear what could only be described as the laughter of a cruel man and the voice of a young woman pleading to be let go.

"Please let me go I have done nothing wrong,"

"Oh my dear we know who you are, when my colleagues return we will be transferring you to the Palace where you will be held until we return you to your home village because of the bounty on your head." The man said to her.

What the guard did not know was that Yugito had quickly and quietly come up behind him and with one smooth motion snapped his neck killing him instantly on the spot, she then spent on the body and said out loud, "Bastard."

Washi quickly ran up to the front of the cell and with one quick movement of his hidden blade the door was open giving him and Yugito their first good look at this young woman who was just like them, her hair was a neon light green color and her eyes were a brilliant orange that signed brightly.

She then looked at the two Assassins right in the eyes and said, "Who are you?"

"Two people who are exactly like you in every way even down to our burden."

This surprised her more then she would have ever imagined possible, to think that were others like her in the world.

Washi opened the door for her so she could walk out of it with a look of wonder upon her face as she gave them a good once over, she then said, "What village are you guys from?"

"We're not from or affiliated with any Ninja Village, not anymore." He said to her.

But before Fu could ask any more questions of them Yugito interrupted her by saying, "I know that you must have many questions for us but we must make our escape as soon as possible before the guards discover our presence here and call for back up."

She could only nod her head at this and quickly made her way to the guard's desk to pick up a bag that clearly belonged to her and took something out of it instructed to her pack which resembled a strange circular disk with a green lining in the center of it, she turned to them and said, "Don't worry about me I can keep up with you two, I was trained as a ninja in my old village."

The two of them nodded to her too follow them as they quickly made their way out of the detention center of the tower; unfortunately for them they ran smack dab into the middle of the two remaining garrisons in the towers Courtyard.

It was at this point that a rather well-dressed man walked out of the group and stood before them with a smile upon his face and then said with an air of superiority about him, "I don't know who you two are but if you surrender right now I will make your deaths quick and painless, and as for you my little beetle you have a date with the Lord daimyo himself."

Washi immediately handed Yugito the bomb and walked out in front of the two ladies and unsheathed the two swords from his back and instantly began to channel his wind chakra into them as he prepared to engage their enemies in battle, as he went into his battle mode she instantly began to look for a way out of the courtyard that they were currently trapped in.

Yugito new that they would have to summon one of the Eagles if they were to escape the tower and destroyed it at the same time, she eventually found a spot where she could set the bomb and realized they had very little time to pull this off and turned to Fu and said to the young girl who was no older than herself, "I need you to cover me while I set this up."

"What are you doing?" Fu asked with a bit of concern in her voice.

"Oh that. I'm just setting a very big ass bomb to destroy this tower, nothing much why do you ask." She said truthfully to her fellow host.

Fu was of course surprised by what she had just said to her, she then turned her head to watch the other Assassin pairing to engage in combat against the board that had held her against her will.

Washi wasted no time in engaging his enemies to give Yugito the time she needed to set the bomb and prepare their escape route, Fu watched in amazement as Washi begin to cut down his enemies with no remorse as the deeds they had committed were atrocious to say the least.

Washi Had mastered the use of his wind chakra to such a degree that he no longer needed the use of hand seals to perform his wind jutsu's as he used it to enhance his weapons to make them more lethal.

Yugito activated the bomb and then proceeded to summon one of the Eagles to act as their escape route and quickly grabbed Fu and got on the giant raptors back as it began to fly up in the air and made a pass to pick up Washi on its way out of the tower's upper courtyard, the soldiers that had been left alive watched their former prisoner and the two strange warriors fly out of sight on the back of the great summoner animal before they realized that something had been left behind.

Fu was shocked to be up on this large summoner's back as they soared away from the tower that had only before been her prison not more than 5 min. ago, she looked back only to see a large chunk of the tower explode causing the rest of it to fall in upon its self, killing the evil man that had imprisoned her there.

Fu held on to Yugito as tightly as she could as they flew through the skies of the city, just then the great Eagle took a soaring power dive right into an alley and came to rest easily upon the ground.

Fu Disembarked from the Eagles back along with the two warriors that had saved her and watched as one in black walked up to it and said, "I think you my friend, tell your father I hope to see him again soon."

The great Eagle bowed its head to them and disappearing in a cloud of smoke as the two warriors motioned for her to follow them out of the alleyway and into the busy streets of the city on their way back to the den, she walked very close to them as they seem to become one with the crowd.

Washi could tell that she was getting nervous as they walked through the crowds on their way back to the den because of the sheer amount of city guardsmen that were now patrolling the city in full force because of the events of the day, before she could even ask a question he then said, "I know that you must have many questions for us but it is not safe to talk in the open right now, also do as we do and we will make it there even with the increase of the guards."

She nodded to him and then said, "I understand."

As they passed through the area Fu listened to what the people were saying about the day's events, "Can you believe what's happened today?"

"I know it's been so crazy today, do you think it's the Resistance finally making their move?"

"No way, they've left us to the Jackals for far too long. I think it's someone new who's decided to start fighting back,"

As Fu and the two assassins continued on their way to the den she continued to listen to what the people were saying, "Can you believe this is all happening?"

"Not really, they've done this for far too long and we finally reached the breaking point."

"So do you believe the stories about these Assassins?"

"Yes, with all that has happened it's hard not to believe that someone has come to finally liberate us from our tormentors."

"I hope you are right my friend." After hearing this conversation Fu realized that the two escorting her to safety were also the ones who had begun to restore some hope to this troubled city.

They finally made it through the crowd and entered what looked like a small alleyway that was somewhat hidden from view and came to a simple looking wall with a small red symbol she had never seen before but then realized it was also on the two warriors to her surprise they walked right through the wall and she realized it was a high level genjutsu in use.

She Walked right through it and came upon a heavily reinforced door which she saw them walking right through, without hesitation she followed them through the door and was amazed at the size of the room before her and could only whistle about it to herself.

"You must be the host of the seven tales young lady," she jumped as she heard the voice behind her and turned to see an old man with the same kind of outfit as the two who had saved her.

She gave him a smile and then said, "Hi, it's Fu by the way."

He nodded his head to her and then said, "It is a pleasure to finally meet you Ms. Fu, my name is Raven and I believe you've already met my two students Washi and Yugito."

The two of them walked up to her and pulled down their hoods to reveal their faces to her for the first time, she had never seen Yugito before but she had seen the man before and was surprised to see that it was none other than the hero of the hidden waterfall Village himself, Naruto Uzumaki.

"You're Naruto Uzumaki, the hero of waterfall. It's really you." Fu said as she began to jump up and down in excitement at seeing her hero here right in front of her.

Yugito turned to her boyfriend and then asked him, "Something tells me I'm going to want to hear about this one later."

Before he could reply to her Fu ran up to him and started to hug him in excitement, she eventually let him go and stepped back as Cat and Rosa walked up to them.

Before Cat could ask them where the other people were Washi lifted up his hand and then said, "I'm afraid we were unable to find any other survivors we were lucky to get her in time, but the tower is destroyed and garrisons inside it are dead."

Cat was disappointed to hear about this but also understood that saving those people was a long shot at best, she then walked up to them and bowed her head in a show of respect to them for at least attempting to find any survivors, "I think you for at least trying to save them."

"You're welcome, we just wish we could have done more for them," He said.

"You two killed those men who've done such great evil Washi, it's a start at least never forget that." Cat said to him.

Raven then motioned for them to follow him to a dining table so they could have a conversation about certain events and things yet to come, Cat and Rosa set down at the table as a clone of Washi brought them all some herbal tea and then dispelled itself in a cloud of smoke.

Raven then took a sip of his tea and then said, "We have successfully begun to restore hope to this city but unless we can destroy who is causing all of the pain that is happening here we will never be able to free this country once and for all."

Cat was the first to see where this was going, "You mean to chop off the head of the snake so the body will die?"

It was Washi who then spoke next, "No, the Templars are more like a Hydra then a snake. Chop off one head and 2 more take its place, but if you chop off the right head they don't grow back and you hinder the actions of the remaining heads."

Rosa then spoke next realizing where they are questioning was going, "You mean to kill the people who allow Sado to remain in power thereby taking it from him as well?"

"Yes we do, but to do this we must know our enemy and when to strike them down," Yugito said.

Cat suddenly had a smile that would make the devil himself jealous with envy as she said, "I think I can help with that one, in one weeks' time we will have the festival of Aqua which will be held in the water district not too far from here."

Raven sipped his tea and nodded his head as he then said, "One of our many targets will be there and vulnerable I take it?"

"Very, his name is Oboro and he is the man in charge of the Grand Navy's operations and running, without him Sado will have a much harder time trying to control the Navy and the and the ports which are under their control which will in turn give us the freedom we need to move about city as well to get things in and out of it without them being taken by Sado." Rosa said.

Washi then asked them, "What about a replacement?"

Cat then answered him, "The only man who could truly replace him will be with him at the festival, which means you can kill two birds with one stone."

Yugito realized they had given this much thought and then spoke up, "So what would happen if some else was to takeover?"

"Because of Sado they would have a very hard time trying to do their jobs as he would micromanage everything since he can't trust them right away and this is where we gain our advantage." Rosa said.

"However my thieves will not be able to assist you in this endeavor as they would be spotted almost instantly, only Rosa's Courtesans can assist you in this endeavor." Cat said.

Washi Then remembered one of his ancestor's memories and had a smile upon his face, "I have an idea and a feeling that it will work quite well."

Mei looked into Kukaku's eyes as she then said, "I think you should be safe here for the time being my lady."

"Why would that be?" She asked.

Mei simply replied, "I don't trust Ra anymore, and he was quite content on taking you with him my lady."

"And I take it that he knows where your headquarters are, all of you?" Kukaku asked.

"He knows where the old ones are, but then we are moving to new ones as we have a feeling that we are being compromised in some fashion, we can't trust him anymore."

"I knew Ra a long time ago, even back then he was never a team player. But he always expected others do as he said, I see in that way has not changed one bit." Kukaku said with a bit of disappointment in her voice.

Mei nodded her head and then said, "Sounds about right, when the war first started he was one of the first to start fighting back but then as time went on he just sort of gave up hope."

"I have heard the stories of the Assassins before as well do you really think we will be safe here?"

"Yes I do, and I have a feeling what they're planning to do could truly bring peace to our country. It's going to take a lot of time for us all to make a difference."

"I hope you're right Mei."

Sado and Bane now stood in a very special room that only the most senior of the Templars knew about, the reason for the rooms very existence was to contact the other Templar leaders in times of great importance, the fact that the assassins had returned was one of those times of great importance to be sure.

Standing before them were several different shadowy figures that represented one of the many high-level Templars from all over the Elemental Nations, certain features were visible on all of the figures but the lead one who was in the middle was the most unique and mysterious of them all.

The only things visible of his face was a strange spiral like mask with a single redeye with three black talons that circled the center of his it was visible, this was the one who seemed to have the most interest in why they had all been called to this meeting, "Sado, why was this meeting called in the first place I have many important things happening right now with the Akatsuki so what is going on?"

Sado was the First to speak, "I'm afraid we have quite a few problems that have occurred, recently several of the towers had been destroyed here and it's all thanks to a certain group of individuals with hoods who claim to be Assassins."

Upon hearing this, the lead figures eye went wide upon hearing this, "Are you certain it was them?"

"Yes my lord, one of them even introduced himself to the people of Water Country as Washi Naruto Uzumaki."

The lead figures eye widened first in shock and then fear and then again narrowed in an unimaginable amount of anger and of hatred because of what he had just learned from his fellow Templar, before he could even reply to this the two figures to his left seem to be muttering curses about some boy who had escaped their village, "At least we know where he is now."

"And what exactly do you expect us to do about it right now; we are already having enough problems trying to keep the Hokage and Jiraiya from learning about our true plans for the Hidden Leaf Village from being discovered, and let us not forget about that old cripple who should be siding with us at this time and our plans for the Fire Daimyo as well." The figure that sounded like an older female said.

"But you are forgetting that we need him in order to complete our primary objectives, we are going to have to send some people to retrieve him as he should have never left the village in the first place. Let's face it we need him back now, and we need to locate the other missing hosts as soon as possible." The figure standing next to the older female said with a sense of urgency in his voice.

"We have already managed to capture all but five of the Jirchuriki, out of the five of them only three are unaccounted for?" said one of the figures despite the blurriness of his projection that revealed he was from the desert.

Another of the figure's seemed to snarl at this and then said with a condescending tone, "We still have the Eight Tales despite the fact we can't get near him right now because of his foolish brother, we believe they had something to do with the disappearance of the two-tailed Host despite the fact we cannot prove it."

It was at this point that Bane decided to make his presence felt, "There's a good chance that both her and the seven tales are here as well, I submit that you all should stop this pointless bickering and dispatch your best ninjas to retrieve them before they make a mess of everything we have worked so hard for. We are so close to achieving the Moons Eyes plan we must not falter now."

Sado gave a devilish grin and quite enjoyed seeing his partner telling the other leaders to get their acts straight, this however also made them get quite vocal many of them demanding that a nobody has the right tell them what to do. They're pointless bickering had finally gotten to a point that the one eyed figured could no longer stand it and decided to take action, "ENOUGH!"

This outburst was enough to silence the room instantly; he then took charge of the situation with an air of authority, "Bane is right, they must be captured at once or we risk everything we have worked for. I don't care how you do it just send someone to retrieve them as soon as possible, I would also like you to do everything in your power to eliminate these Assassins before they can become a truly great threat to us. May the father of understanding guide us."

Everyone else in the room also repeated the phrase and began to fade away as they ended their communication, Bane and Sado both turned around and walked out of the room knowing that they had quite a bit of work to do. As the door to the room sealed behind them they walked out onto a balcony that gave them in the incredible view of the large ship that was nearing its completion.

Sado could only smile as he thought of things to come and his ultimate plans for the Land of Spring and then the world.

The morning had come sooner than the recruits had expected, standing alongside them was none other than Fu who had decided to also become part of the order to not only save herself but also to save the people who were important to her back in her home village and hopefully liberate it as well.

It was at this moment that the older gentleman who had introduced himself as Raven Uzumaki had begun to walk right up to them, he gave them a once over and then spoke, "You have chosen to become a member of our order of Assassins, you'll learn quite a bit about us and what we are all about, your first lesson will be taught by my young apprentices who are already full-fledged Assassins in their own right."

Before anyone could comment on the fact that there was no other Assassins besides himself present two individuals dropped to the floor from the ceiling surprising everyone in the room, the two of them rose to their full height and pulled back their hoods and revealing their faces to the recruits.

The recruits instantly recognized Washi but had no idea who Yugito was, she then decided to introduce herself to the recruits and begin their lessons in the creed, "My name is Yugito Nii, and I am a former ninja of the Village Hidden in the Clouds. I chose to become a member of the assassins in order to save my homeland one day, my first lesson was about the Creed that we live by. It's what separates us from our enemies; the first tenant of our Creed is stay your blade from the flesh of an innocent. Or in layman's terms do not kill the innocent."

Every one of them was surprised that there was some form or code of conduct that guided them in their work, their resolve to become members of the brotherhood only seem to strengthen as Washi then spoke about the next tenant, "You all already know who I am, the second tenant of or Creed is none other than to blend with the crowd, we must be seen and yet unseen to do our jobs correctly. In time you'll learn to do this and become a ghost among the people who we are trying to ultimately save."

Raven then decided to tell them the last tenant of the Creed, "The final tenant is to never betray the brotherhood, if we are compromised it puts everything in everyone we are trying to save in great danger. Now are you all ready to begin?"

One week later

The Festival of Aqua 526 A.E. (After Event)

The early morning hours of the new day beckoned as men and women continued to enjoy the festival of Aqua, the festival would go on for several days as was the custom in the capital of Water Country.

The water district where the festival was held at many canals and connecting rivers, because of this many would travel in this area by boat as it was a more reliable form of transportation which was exactly how Oboro and his protégé were attending the beginning of the festival this early morning as the sun's first rays of light were just beginning to shine upon the city.

The two men and their three-man bodyguard group exited the boat and began to walk up to a small gathering of people in what looked like a small area which was revealed to be a large courtyard full of people dancing to music as fireworks were shot into the air all around them, one of the many greeters wearing a porcelain type of mask welcome them to the festival and guided them in.

Oboro smiled as he looked upon the scene before him his porcelain mask hiding his face quite well just in case a member of the resistance was crazy enough to try to harm him; his protégé was also wearing one as well.

Hidden away was a small group of people with several of them were dressed as simple partiers while there were several women who were wearing very little it was clear that they belong to the Courtesans Guild of Rosa.

One of the lead Courtesans walked up to a man who was clearly dressed different to everyone else and held out her hand as he placed a bag of money in her hands as she let out a small giggle and motioned for her comrades to follow her out into the crowd to begin the plan.

Oboro and his protégé were clearly enjoying the beginning of the festival and then took notice of a small group of Courtesans who were clearly here to act as a form of entertainment and other more specialized services as well, it was at this moment that two of them saw their group and walked up to them.

The two young beautiful ladies immediately went to work on Oboro and his protégé, Oboro was interested but he motioned that he would consider it at a later time but his protégé could not help himself and wanted to dance with the young woman and was guided to the center of the courtyard where the majority of the dancing was taking place, the guards motioned to try to stop this but Oboro simply put out his arm stopping them and said, "Let him have his fun gentlemen." He then turned back to watch the festivities.

The protégé danced with the young woman for about a minute at the center of the courtyard as more and more fireworks exploded overhead creating a brilliant show of light above them for all to see, when he looked back down he noticed that she was nowhere to be seen and began to look around the dance floor desperately trying to find her, he turned around only to come face-to-face with a man in a black hood who shot his hand forward at the protégés throat.

Oboro looked forward only to see his protégé looking him right in the eyes with a sense of fear and doubt, the young man and reached his hand up to grab his throat as a red fluid began to pour from his neck onto his hand he then fell forward revealing the man in black behind him who was clearly smiling at Oboro, Oboro wasted no time in ordering his men to attack the Assassin, "Rip him apart."

The three guards rushed and without a moment's hesitation trying to kill the Assassin who rushed them as well and not the first one to ground knocking him out temporarily, the next bodyguard rushed him with his sword intending to impale the Assassin only to have it grabbed by the Assassin and then was impaled by his very own weapon.

The last guard who had a long pole attempted to engage the assassin only to have it grabbed and ripped from his grasp which surprised him and gave his target ample time to turn the weapon on him impaling him in the stomach, as this guard fell to the ground the first guard to be attacked was regained consciousness and looking up at his target was an amazing amount of fear as the Assassin moved his sword out of the way and drop the spear and then ran after his true target.

Oboro ran through the streets as fast as he could in fear since he knew the Assassin would be hot on his trail, within a minute he reached an area where he knew he had more of his own personal guards were stationed and screamed out to them, "Guards, guards he's right behind me you have to stop them."

He came to a dead stop in front of an archway where his guards had been stationed in case of an emergency, "To the archway don't let the bastard see you and wait for my command."

He then brought himself to his full height and walked forward so his enemy could at least see him there in the archway so his plan would come to his enemy's death, he then looked up only to see the assassin standing on one of the buildings roofs looking down at him.

Washi then stepped off the roof of the building landing on the ground in a crouching position and brought himself to his full height, he then unleashed his hidden blade and began to walk forward to his target.

Oboro began clapping to mock his target and then began said, "Oh impressive, most impressive. It's a pity we could not let your parents live to see it."

Washi upon hearing this stopped his advance instantly and walked back until he was one with the shadows once more and retracted his hidden blade as Oboro then said, "And once I have dealt with you and your fellow hosts, I plan to destroy all those who are truly loyal to you personally."

Washi then brought up his arm that had his hidden gun on it and pulled the trigger, Oboro heard the loud sound of the shot and then developed a searing pain right through his chest where his heart was and came to the realization that this descendent of an ancient order of warriors would be the last site he would ever see as he fell backwards and hit the ground hard sending his porcelain mask hitting the ground a few feet behind him shattering it to pieces.

His guards were truly shocked by this and began to come into the archway hoping to see his killer only to see that the archway was empty of any form of human life, two of the guards went to their master hoping to be of some form of assistance only to see that his spark of life had left his body already and the blood that was now pulling around it, a small metal cross with a red jewel in the center was now being surrounded by the blood of its owner.

Out of sight of the guards Washi Yugito and the recruits watched as the guards went crazy trying to find any sign of them only to become scared for their own lives since they were out in the open in began to run away some of them even screaming as they ran.

Yugito turned to face the man she had come to love with all her heart only to see him down on one knee with a small box out in front of her with a ring in it, "Will you be mine forever, my love?"

She was in total shock and began to open her mouth with a happy and startled and ultimately said, "Yes I will."

Akima was surprised as she was pulled out of the Animus early by her friends and family and could only voice her disapproval, "Oh, come on guys it was just getting good."

An older men with several scars and what looked like a hairdo that resembled a pineapple then said, "It was your mother's choice not mine to pull you out early."

She then looked over to see her mother walking up to her with an air of authority that only a Grand Master of the Brotherhood of Assassins could only possess, "Raven warned us this machine is dangerous still, and I do not want to lose one of my children to this damn thing."

Akima stood up and walked over to her mother and then said, "You're not going to lose me Mom, and thanks to this machine and our bloodline I was able to see daddy in his prime. But why am I also seeing memories of the Templars as well?"

Yugito Nii Uzumaki looked into her daughter's eyes and then said, "We recently found something they could finally give us the edge to destroy the Templars once and for all but there's a catch?"

"What kind of catch Mom?"

"Only you or your brother and sister can see it by reliving your father's time as an Assassin in the land of water, you can see what they were hiding from us and can lead the brotherhood to finally put an end to this war and stop this man from completing his ultimate plan. You are the only one who can stop this moon's eye plan and hopefully save humanity before it's too late."

"Then put me back in, the Templars have taken so many friends and family from us. If I can save our world by doing this then so be it."

"All right, but you rest today and just remember what happened to your ancestor Desmond I don't want that to happen to you as well."

"Even if it does we will know more than we ever did before, and don't worry about me mom I won't let that bastard Uchiha or his son ever take me."

End of C4.

I hope to hear what you all think of this latest chapter and I would also like to apologize for the long wait for this one, at the same time I have also been playing a lot of new video games and have been also doing some work on other stories including editing and rewrites. I have also been working on a story where Naruto is a Ghost Rider, here is a small preview of what to expect with the story.

He fought the curse.

"This thing has no conscience or compassion."

Evil will force him to face his Demon.

"The Rider is going to come out, and when he does?"

Some smoke clears to reveal a skull with fire coming off of it turning to face the reader, its jacket made of strong leather as black as night upon the top and with dark neon orange in the middle that is bubbling from the heat and is staring into your very soul.

"He's going to destroy whoever was got it coming."

The darkest hero will ride once more.

The next sequence shows him throwing a pale looking man with the eyes of the snake into the air and reaches out his hand to grab his chain that is wrapped around the man's midsection and pulls him down hard into the ground before him.

A strange warrior in a black robe with an animal mask walks up a young man no older than 16 with spiky blond hair blue eyes and what looks like whisker like birthmarks upon his cheeks.

The voice of a woman is heard asking him, "The Hokage need your help in saving some people."

Several images of him are shown with his face becoming skull like, then cuts back to him looking up at the woman as he says, "I don't save people."

"Some of the people there were more than just friends to you and you are their only hope."

The next scene shows several ninjas trying to protect a young woman her son and grandfather from being murdered by the people who look like rogue samurais who had been paid to destroy everything they held dear, just then they all watched in shock as a strange machine lands in the middle of the battlefield blocking the evil men's attempts to fulfill their job.

The next shot shows a foot stepping off the motorcycle and hitting the ground actually melting some of the rocks, the next shot shows the strange fire skeleton like man throwing a metal chain wrapping around one of the men and burning him into nothing more than ash as he pulled the chain back to his grasp.

One of the female ninjas who was a teacher to her team looked right into the young man's eyes as he was still normal looking at this moment and said to him, "I'm not afraid of you."

The next shot showed him once again as the flaming skeleton destroying a large group of evil man with a single swing of his chain and came back to him looking into the woman's eyes as a normal person once more as he said, "Well you should be!"

Ghost Rider

The young boy who had saved the night before just had to ask him an odd question, "What happens if you have to go to the bathroom while you're on fire."

He looked up into the young boy's eyes and said, "Oh it's awesome."

That's the preview of my Ghost Rider story I hope to have it up soon, I also want to hear what you think of the new direction in the story and the new characters.

I am currently working on the next chapter and will answer some questions about what's going to happen from now on and I'm also going to do some research on assassins Creed three as well as the brand-new Vita game Liberation and it's a female protagonists Aveline.

I hope to hear what you think of the chapter and if any of you would like this particular story please read and review.
