Well it has taken me too long to write out anything from any story I have written, mostly because I have almost no free time. What little free time I have is spent sleeping. So here I am again, a little behind with the chapter.
I don't own Naruto or Assassin's Creed.
Konoha's Phantom.
Ch.4 New Friends and Teachers.
-Uchiha district, after the meeting-
Naruto looked at the slip of paper that Satsuki had given him and looked back at the house in front of him. The slip of paper had an address and basically told him to come to her house after the meeting. Naruto being the curious sort, obliged the young girl, though now he was just standing in front of the door listening to the ruckus coming from inside the house. It would seem that Naruto's guess about the Uchiha twins was correct, they were both girls, and it seemed like Satsuki's sister was the emotional one of the two.
"Siiisss, I thought I told you going out as yourself was a bad idea, but nooooooooo, you couldn't listen to your big sister. You had to get kidnapped and then saved by someone that we apparently know, but won't tell me who it is."
"You're only older than me by five minutes." Well there was Satsuki.
Naruto decided it would be wise to get whatever was going to happen over with and knocked on the door. This action quieted the noisy house down and Naruto heard footsteps coming closer to the door. The door opened and Naruto recognized the disguised Tatsu who looked at Naruto confused. (Picture Sasuke but without his spiky hair.)
"Is there something I can help you with Mr.?" asked 'Tatsu' in the voice Naruto was so used to hearing.
Feeling mischievous Naruto grinned from underneath his hood. "Now Tatsu, what happened to all of the emotion I was hearing from you earlier?" asked Naruto doing his best at trying to keep his laughter in from seeing Tatsu's face grimace in horror.
"I-I don't know what you are talking about." Tatsu denied quickly.
"Oh, so me hearing something about Satsuki not listing to her big sis was a mistake?" asked Naruto almost in tears at Tatsu's panicked face.
"Hey! Quit razzing my sister and come on in." shouted Satsuki from farther in the house.
"Yeah, yeah. Ruin my fun why don't you. So, 'Tatsu', are you going to let me in so your sister can tell me what she wants to talk about?" said Naruto while his eyes flashed bright gold for a second before returning to his regular blue.
"I….Yes please come in." Tatsu no longer kept up the fake voice and sounded like the other girl he heard before.
"You two are really twins huh, though her hair seems to spike out a bit more than yours." said Naruto, shocking Tatsu as he walked into the house kicking his boots off and placing them in beside the door.
"H-How?"
"I can see though your illusion." Said Naruto with a grin. "Now are you going to tell me your real name or am I going to have to make up one for you?"
The girl undid her illusion and mumbled something.
"What was that?"
"My name is Tatsuki." She said a bit louder.
"Well it's finally nice to meet you properly Tatsuki." Said Naruto with a bow, flipping his hood back revealing his red hair and face to the girl in front of him causing her eyes to widen.
"Y-You?"
"Me."
"What-"
"I will explain what I can, but let's join your sister so I don't have to explain this twice." Said Naruto walking past Tatsuki and soon plopped down on a couch across from Satsuki. Tatsuki sat down next to her sister and stared Naruto down, not that he cared.
"So, what do I owe the honor of being called to the Uchiha twins house so late in the day?" asked Naruto.
"I wanted to thank you for saving me from that Kumo team, and I hoped that you would keep what you saw there and here a secret." Said Satsuki gaining a nod from Naruto. "I also hoped to ask how did what you did and why you pretend to act a fool in class."
"Well…. I was taught my skills by my mentor, and I act a fool to trick everyone into thinking I am one." Said Naruto simply causing both of the girls to give him a deadpan glare.
"What? I have my own secrets and you two have your own. I will say that I will not be in any of the teams when I graduate as I have been training to be in…. something similar to the hunter ninja corps." Said Naruto gaining questioning stares from both girls.
"How did you get picked for that?" asked Tatsuki.
"Dumb luck." Naruto shrugged.
"How does one join this group?" asked Satsuki gaining a surprised look from her sister.
"Well…. One way is to get an invitation from one of the members of said group, another is to be born into it." Said Naruto.
"And you were invited?" asked Satsuki.
"Well it was half and half for me. My mother was in the group and her mentor, now my mentor, invited me after finding me living on the streets." Naruto half lied.
"I thought you were an orphan." Said Tatsuki gaining a quick elbow to her ribs from her sister. "What Sa-chan, it's true." Said Tatsuki rubbing her ribs.
"Doesn't mean you need to be so tactless about it, Tatsu." Said the younger sister.
"You are correct, I am alone in this world as far as I know." Said Naruto slightly glaring at Tatsuki for reminding him of that fact. Said girl looked down in shame.
"Though I am curious, why were you living on the streets? Shouldn't you have been in the orphanage?" asked Satsuki looking at Naruto in confusion.
"Yes I should have been there, but the matron kicked me out when I was seven and I was given an appartment building to live in, but that was burned down by the villagers when I was nine." Said Naruto looking a bit glum.
This shocked both of the Uchiha sisters as they never knew that the villagers could be so cruel to a child.
"I am fine now, mostly. Even though most of the village still has a hate on for me, but there are a group I can call friends and I have a few precious people here. As soon as I graduate, I will be doing jobs out of the village instead of in them." this last part confused the sisters as they didn't even know that Naruto was doing jobs for the village already.
"Ah yes, I have been doing jobs in the village for about a year now, I bet you have noticed how few criminals have been around lately." Said Naruto smirking at seeing the realization in the girl's eyes.
Tatsuki jumped up and shouted "You were the one that left that pedo hanging in the market square a month ago!"
"Guilty as charged." Said Naruto smirking.
"You have been cleaning up the streets? I thought it was the ANBU." Said Satsuki sizing Naruto up again.
"You've got to teach us how to-" "I can't, I am but an initiate. You would have to get my mentor's approval as he and I are the last of our little group. Though once I graduate, I can see if he can allow you two….. I am guessing you want to join as well Satsuki?" she nodded in afermitive. "My mentor has the last say, though I would have to guess that he would want to wait until you two are at least chunin." Said Naruto almost laughing at the eldest of the two looking like he just said he could fly and shit out rainbows.
"But-" "No buts, Tatsuki." The girl looked depressed but her sister looked intrigued at his words.
"So there are only two of you left?" she asked.
"Yes."
"Wouldn't he want to bolster his ranks?" this gave Tatsuki hope but it was quickly shot down.
"He would, but he is too old to have any more than one apprentice. Once I become a full-fledged part of the group, I can train you two, but until then train yourselves into the ground as I will probably break you with the training that mentor gave me." Said Naruto with an evil glint in his eye.
"Bring it buster, I want to spar with you right now!" Tatsuki challenged.
"Are you sure? I mean I would not want to tarnish the great 'Tatsu's' reputation with a loss." Taunted Naruto making the girl steam in anger.
"You, me, back yard now!" she demanded as she ran off to grab her gear.
Naruto looked at Satsuki with a confused look on his face. "Never would have guessed that one of the Uchiha twins would be a hothead."
"We both hid things from everyone so we wouldn't be found out." said Satsuki getting up and walking over to the entrance to grab their footwear.
Naruto followed behind her and said "So, I do have a question about that, why are you hiding yourselves?"
"Well, we are the last loyal Uchiha in the village, and so we would be forced into the CRA, which is an repulsive law that forces the women of the clan to basically be baby vending machines. So seeing that we are both female, we hid our real selves in hope we can become ninja before we would be found out as once we are ninja, we only answer to the Hokage. Currently, we are civilians and thus the civilian council would lock us up for 'safe keeping' and then force us to have children when we come of age." Said Satsuki with a disgusted look on her face.
Naruto was also repulsed at this law and began thinking.
The two walked out to the back yard in silence and saw that Tatsuki was ready with her gear on, which consisted of two sheathes attached to both of her legs with longer than normal kunai in them, and two utility pouches that she had on her belt.
Naruto handed his hatchet and other gear minus his wrist blades to Satsuki to hold on to.
"You're giving up your weapons? Are you underestimating me?" asked Tatsuki angrily drawing the two long kunai from their sheaths.
"Maybe, maybe not." Said Naruto dismissively adding more fuel to the angry fire that was Tatsuki.
The hotheaded girl didn't even wait for the spar to be called and charged at Naruto who hadn't moved at all. When she was in striking range, she stabbed at Naruto's neck with one of her Kunai and at his heart with the other.
It was at this time Naruto moved quicker than the girl was expecting and grabbed both of her arms, stopping her in her tracks. He then kicked her in the stomach hard, sending her backwards a few feet. Tatsuki, having the wind knocked out of her, was stunned for a second and didn't react when Naruto closed the distance to her and disarmed her of not only her Kunai, but he also had cut off her belt that had her utility pouches on it and jumped back away from her. How he did that, she didn't know but now she was weaponless.
Naruto threw her belt away and stood in a defensive stance waiting for the girl in front of him to make a move. He could see that she was irritated and smirked, not that anyone could see as his hood obscured his face. He quickly shifted to the left as Tatsuki closed the distance between them and tried to engage him in Taijutsu, but he countered by moving around and behind her. He then quickly grabbed her by the back of her shirt and the waistband of her pants, he then flung her away from him, but before he could let go he felt her clothes rip and he was left with her dark blue top and black pants in both hands.
Tatsuki was flung into a tree not far away and didn't realize what happened. She quickly got to her feet very miffed at being manhandled like that and charged at him but she stopped as she felt that it was a bit colder than before. She immediately dropped her guard when she saw what Naruto was holding.
Naruto froze when he saw her get up. As he had both her ruined shirt and pants in his possession, he got to witness her in all of her pale glory. The girl screeched and went down in a crouch trying to hide herself as much as possible. Apparently the elder sister of the two preferred to go commando and this time it had backfired on her.
Naruto dropped the ruined clothes, shed his outer cloak and tossed it to the very nude and embarrassed girl. He heard Satsuki come up beside him and give an exasperated sigh.
"I warned her that this could happen, but it's good that it happened here instead of the field." Said Satsuki looking a bit embarrassed herself.
"Ahhhh, sorry?" said Naruto his face flushed beet red at seeing the elder sister nude.
"No worries, though I would ask that you forget about what you saw." Said Satsuki looking away with a blush of her own.
"Ahhh…. I see." Said Naruto scratching the back of his head as he remembered that they were identical twins.
"HEY!" his attention was brought back to Tatsuki as she flew though the air trying to kick him now covering herself with Naruto's cloak. Naruto dodged the kick and wrapped his arm around her leg. He flipped her around and threw her into the ground face first. Not wanting to fight any more he pinned both of her arms behind her back and flicked his pivot blade up to her neck to where she could feel it.
"I do believe this is my win Tatsu-chan." Naruto whispered in her ear causing her already cherry red blush to turn even darker.
Naruto released the girl and stood back up the girl sat there trying to hide in the cloak that was way too big for her.
"Sorry about that incident." Said Naruto unsure how to proceed as he didn't have much experience with girls.
"While I should be mad at you, I guess you showed me that I have things to work on and make sure it doesn't happen again." Muttered Tatsuki. "BUT! You have to treat me to a shopping trip to make up for this incident." The girl shouted pointing at Naruto.
"I suppose I could…. I assume you want in on this Satsuki?" he asked the younger sister who was fidgeting slightly. The girl wordlessly nodded. "Ok, I should be fine with how much I have gotten from cleaning up the streets. Now I want to talk to both of you about your situation." This got both of their attentions.
"So, my organization is directly under the Hokage and thus I am not a civilian….. maybe I can convince my mentor to take both of you in…"
Satsuki looked at Naruto in surprise. "Y-you would do that for us?" asked the girl.
"Indeed, while you lot haven't been the friendliest to me, I couldn't condemn you two to a life like that. So I want to help, and maybe you two could quit being so crabby to me in class in the future eh?" said Naruto with a smile, though that was quickly removed from his face when Satsuki and Tatsuki knocked him to the ground in a hug.
"Hey now what-" he stopped when he heard sobbing coming from the girls.
"Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou!" they kept repeating as she cried into his chest.
Naruto embraced both of them and spoke. "Now, now, it wouldn't do for anyone to see the 'great and mighty Uchihas' crying would it." Naruto joked causing both of them to squeeze him harder.
Eventually they both calmed down but they refused to let him go. "Hey sis, can we keep him?" asked Tatsuki with a teasing smile on her face, this caused both Naruto's and Satsuki's blush to return.
"W-why would you want to do that?" stuttered Naruto.
"Well, not only are you strong and skilled, but also kind and willing to help us, which to be honest we don't deserve as we have been nothing but mean to you these last few years. Yet here you are offering a way out of becoming baby vending machines for the rest of our lives." The girl said while once again hugging him tightly again almost afraid that he would disappear if she let him go.
Satsuki realized what her sister was getting at as it did sound almost too good to be true, yet here he was offering a way out of their feared future. She also hugged him tightly again almost ready to cry again.
Naruto sighed and looked up at the sky to see the moon and stars twinkling above, and eventually he felt both of the girl's breathing even out and noticed both of them fell asleep while clutching him. unfortunately, he found that he couldn't escape their embrace. So he accepted that he was trapped between the sisters, one still pretty much naked, the only silver linings he could think of was that it wasn't to hot or cold, and that he was comfortable. Eventually he nodded off to sleep himself wondering what the next day would bring.
-next morning-
Naruto woke up to the sun's rays of light hitting him in the face and groaned. His body felt stiff, yet strangely comfortable. He felt two things weighing down his sides and trapping his arms to where he couldn't move them. Naruto slowly opened his eyes to see that he had two girls using him as a pillow and slowly tried to remember how he ended up this way. He then remembered what happened last night and chuckled. It would seem that his life would be a bit more interesting from her on out.
Naruto stared down at the two girls using him as a pillow and observed them. to him they both looked cute with their button noses, long ebony hair, and dainty looking faces. Though Satsuki's hair was spikier than her sister's. it was then he noticed that Tatsuki was still naked as the day she was born underneath his cloak, which somehow during the night became a blanket covering the three of them. Though that wasn't the end of it, somehow during the night, Satsuki had wriggled out of her clothes leaving her in her underwear.
Naruto immediately averted his eyes and was praying that the two girls would wake up soon, and his prayers were answered when Tatsuki stared to stir, not that it helped him any as he could feel her very modest bust pressing against him even though his thick clothing.
Tatsuki slowly woke up feeling very warm and comfortable, though something felt weird about her pillow as it was moving slightly. She opened her eyes and stared into a set of deep blue eyes that stared back at her.
"Errr…morning Tatsu-chan." Naruto said quickly looking away from the girl as she sat up. "Ummm….. maybe you should get dressed?" he suggested as the girl noticed that her top half was exposed. Her face turned tomato red and she quickly scooped up the cloak. She covered herself and ran inside to put on some clothes.
Now all he was left with was a half-naked Satsuki who pretty much did her best to curl around him in her sleep. Naruto poked her in the side causing her to frown in her sleep and swat at his hand. Naruto poked her again and again she swatted his hand away.
Naruto sighed, he really didn't want to do this but she was being difficult. Naruto flicked the stubborn girl's nose making her head jerk back and her eyes to snap open.
"Morning, I see your sister isn't the only one with…. risky habits." Said Naruto looking away from the girl. Said girl took a second to gather what Naruto meant and then looked down at herself. Her whole body started to slowly turn red as she sat there in embarrassment. Eventually something clicked in her mind as she shot up and ran into her house slamming the door.
Naruto laughed a bit and decided to send a clone to inform his mentor of what transpired and that he would be bringing guests over today. As soon as the clone vanished from view, Tatsuki opened the door and shyly walked out in a similar outfit from before but the shirt was a dark purple instead of a dark blue. She was also holding his cloak which was folded up nicely.
"W-would you like to join us for breakfast before we leave for today?" the girl asked, her face looked a bit pink rather than her normal pale.
"Sure, but where are y'all going?" asked Naruto getting up from the spot he was sitting at.
"Err… the academy?"
"It's Saturday." Naruto responded.
"Oh…. Then maybe you can take us shopping then?" the girl asked hopefully.
"Sure, but we have to make a stop to talk to my mentor. After that we can go on your shopping spree." Said Naruto smiling at the oddly meek girl.
"WOO-HOO!" she whooped and she dragged Naruto inside the house.
He was shoved into a seat at a table and he saw Satsuki in the kitchen wearing an apron and something similar to her sister but a bright blue instead of purple. She looked to be cooking eggs and pancakes. She stole glances at Naruto when she thought he wasn't looking and her face was still a bit flushed.
Tatsuki plopped down beside Naruto asking him all sorts of questions about his outfit and weapons. Naruto answered as best as he could without revealing anything he shouldn't have. Eventually Satsuki came in with the food and chastised her sister for her excessive questions. Naruto started to chuckle at the argument that broke out between the sisters after that. His laughter halted the arguing as they both looked at Naruto questioningly.
"You two are adorable." Naruto said between laughs. This caused both of the sisters to look away from him and blush.
The three ate quickly and Naruto helped Satsuki clean up the mess before they left the house.
"I do have one question, why wasn't Tatsuki helping you cook?" Naruto asked Satsuki.
"It's because Tatsu can't cook anything without almost burning down the house." Satsuki said bluntly causing Tatsuki to give an indignant squawk and Naruto laughed.
"Well at least I don't get lost on the way to the bathroom." Tatsuki shot back causing Satsuki to glare at her.
"At least I didn't accidently sit in paint when we were redecorating the house and leave butt prints everywhere." Satsuki responded and Tatsuki looked horrified.
"Siiissss, I thought that would be our secret!" the elder twin whined.
"Well you started it." The younger twin retorted.
"Well at least I didn't leave boob prints everywhere like you did."
The mud slinging fest went on until both sisters were both beet red and too embarrassed to continue as Naruto was laughing his ass off all the way to the compound.
-A ways away from the Assassin compound a little while later-
Naruto walked through the forest that surrounded the compound followed by the twins. Though they didn't get far as Samuel stepped out from behind a tree putting the girls on guard but Naruto kneeled.
"Mentor, have you given the idea I had any thought?" asked Naruto before he was whacked by Samuel's cane.
"Boy, do you know how worried I was when you didn't come back last night? I thought that old Warhawk had nabbed you, but what do I found out in the morning?" Naruto tried to answer but Samuel kept going. "I find out from one of your clones that you had spent the night with not one, but two girls, and not only that you try to solve their problems by giving us more issues….. you are so like your mother." Samuel mumbled at the end.
"Errrr, I suppose we should go then?" asked Tatsuki looking uncomfortable at the scene in front of her.
"Oh, no. I mean no ill will to either of you. You are welcome here, but I cannot teach you right now." Said Samuel while sitting down next to Naruto.
"Uhhh, so what can you do?" asked Satsuki looking confused.
"Well, while I cannot train you, I can offer protection to you from the civilians. You will be apart of this group in name only." Said the old man confusing all them.
"That doesn't make sense old man." Said Tatsuki earning her a slap to the back of her head from her sister.
"You two are being watched too well right now, mainly from the civilians, so if I take you into my organization right now there would be many questions and it could compromise us. So for right now you will still be trained by the ninja corps, but as soon as you both make ahhhhh… what was it again?" "Chunin, mentor." "Thank you brat. When you two make chunin you will be brought into our organization. By then this hooligan will have taken my place." Said Samuel pointing at Naruto.
"So you will protect us from the civilian council?" asked Satsuki?
"Yes, if it comes to it I will put them in their graves… to be honest I should have done it long ago but my grief kept me from doing anything. Anyways, you are welcome to live here with us now, as I am willing to bet that the Uchiha compound is a little lonely." The old man said surprising all of them.
"Though wouldn't that also compromise us mentor?" asked Naruto.
"It might, but as long as you are not followed and they return to their home every once and a while, it should keep them off our trail. Now I do believe that the brat's clone said that he promised to take you two shopping, I would advise you two to lose the clan markings as you two have been passing yourselves off as boys correct? It wouldn't do to be found out by carelessly walking around covered in the crests of the Uchiha while not disguised." The two girls nodded and began to remove every crest they possibly could and hid the ones they couldn't.
"I suppose that will do for now, you kids run along and get everything you need to live here, I will set up accommodations for the both of you." said the old man before vanishing into the forest not waiting for anyone to respond.
"So that was your mentor… he's older than I thought he would be." said Satsuki.
"He's older than the Hokage, but he can still put my ass in the dirt. He may still be able to go toe to toe with the old man." Said Naruto while rubbing his head.
This surprised the girls as they thought the only ones who could stand up to the old Kage were out of the village.
"You're pulling our leg right?" asked Tatsuki not believing a word Naruto said.
"No, as a matter of fact my mentor kicked our leader's ass when they first met, and that came from the old man, not my mentor." Said Naruto smirking at the looks of disbelief he was receiving.
"Ok, enough about that for now I-" Naruto stopped talking and threw a thin knife into a tree only for a man with gravity defying silver hair in a joinin uniform to drop out of the tree with the knife resting in between his thumb and pointer finger.
"Maah, that was rude." The man said lazily, tossing the knife back to Naruto who kept it out.
Naruto pulled his tomahawk free from his belt and held it at the ready while both to the twins stood behind him with weapons drawn.
"I do believe we got off on the wrong foot here, I apologize for snooping, but I wanted to see the kid that my boss sent me to train." Said the cyclops.
"You were sent here by your boss? Who would that be?" asked Naruto still not convinced.
"Well I do believe you call him grandfather yes?" said the man.
"You…." Naruto recognized the man, he was the ANBU that watched over him when he was younger but he wasn't always there. "You're the AN-"
"Yes I am, but do keep that to yourself, secrets and all, my name is Kakashi, I have been sent to teach you what your teacher has been unable to due to his age." Said Kakashi as he bowed. "Though it would seem that I have two others to teach as well, since they will be staying with you for the time being."
Said girls looked at the man in confusion. "Why would you train us, you don't even know us." Said Tatsuki.
"On the contrary, I know all too well who you two are as I served with your brother, and his friend. That and I am the only one in this village who can train you in your gifts…. Whenever you awaken them." said Kakashi.
"You know?" asked Satsuki.
"The whole of the ANBU and jonin know, the clan heads know as well. I also believe your chunin instructor with the scar going across his nose knows as well." Said Kakashi shrugging.
"So, what now?" asked Naruto as the three of them put their weapons away.
"Well for today you help them get settled in, and go on your little date with your girlfriends" this caused all three of the young teens to blush. "And tomorrow you three join me and your mentor in your training grounds at sunrise." Said Kakashi before he vanished in a swirl of leaves.
-END-
I wrapped this one up pretty fast as I was in the groove and I had time on my hands. I should be able to bang out a few mor chapters before I return to the states. Please tell me what you think of the changes I have made from the original, if anyone remembers the old version anyways.
