Chapter 1. Steel Forged from Hatred

Gotham city was many things, none of which were good. Crime and poverty were high while employment rates were incredibly low. Truth be told, Gotham was a dying city, infected by a disease that was slowly rotting the city and its people to nothing.

However, there were a few noble spirits within Gotham, who tried to mend the broken city. The Wayne's were a prime example, though it has been over two decades since their murder and the city clearly hasn't changed. In fact it's grown worse, but other individuals have become the new face of Gotham's guardians.

For starters there was the new vigilante slash hero, Batman. Who had taken into the streets of Gotham under the shroud of night. In order to clean his city of all the filth that littered the back ally-ways and warehouses of Gotham.

Batman for many, was a symbol of hope, a symbol that Gotham could still be saved. Though he was a man who fought for Gotham in the darkness. A city as broken as Gotham needed a hero to steep out in the light of day and fight for his city. Lucky for the people of Gotham, they had just the right man.

Minato Namikaze, a wealthy businessman from Japan, who moved his company to Gotham over eight years ago. Many speculated as to why a rich and single man would move his multiple billion dollar corporation to a foreign and dying city.

Minato would always respond to such questions with a small smile and a remake as how a city is nothing besides concrete so how could it die? He would remind the media that a city is nothing without its people, so his goal and his companions goal, was to create jobs and better lives for the people of Gotham.

Quickly Minato became not only the public face and hero of Gotham, but he also attracted attention from other sources, both good and bad. This attention came from all the work his company did, which was produce cutting edge and modern technology; which he sold to the people of Gotham for very reasonable prices. This was so that even the poorest family could purchase his products, which all oriented around improving the daily lives of Gotham citizens.

The bad side of this, was that Minato found himself as the enemy of many crime bosses in Gotham. Though Minato did not fear their threats, he was a single man with no family to care for.

However, the key word is that Minato 'was' a single man with no family. See this is where the good part of Minato's deeds come into play.

After his first two years in Gotham, Minato met a rather interesting woman. A Dr. Harleen Quinzel, who was a Psychiatrist at Arkham Asylum. The two had met in a small coffee shop during their morning commutes to work. They talked and shortly after exchanged contact information. Soon the two found themselves on their first date, then second, followed by six more. Before finally the two young lovers agreed to walk down the isle together and get married.

The whole city stopped and watched, as their savior and his new found love joined in holy matrimony. Many came to the wedding, including one Bruce Wayne and Oliver Queen. Both of whom became friends and business partners with Minato.

This was only the beginning of Minato's happiness, as a year later he became a father. A father to twins surprisingly enough, a boy and a girl named Naruto and Mito Namikaze. Both children looked like a well blend of their father and mother, as they both had bright cerulean blue eyes and golden blond hair. Though they leaned more towards their mother in the look department, since both twins had her nose,

Lips and creamy white skin.

Quickly the Namikaze family became the staple family of Gotham. Cashing the media to follow their every move and happening in their life. Minato tended to ignore all the fame and camera flashes, while Harleen tended to enjoy the spotlight at times. Especially when she got to show off her adorable children, who she loved just as much as she loved Minato.

Which was why Harleen retired from here job at Arkham and spent her time raising her children. It wasn't like her and Minato needed the money from her job anyway and besides, Harleen would much rather spend time with her babies than crazy psychopaths.

Though Minato kept working closely with Wayne Tech and Queen Consolidated. He hoped his work in joint with two other major corporations could not only help both Gotham and Star City, but they could expand their reach and aid to the entire world. Something that Batman and the newly risen Green Arrow could never do alone.

However, that was five years ago and a lot has changed since then. Gotham has become a far more safe city and poverty is at an all time low. Even the crime has taken a drastic hit, this was thanks to the help of Batman and all the aid Minato and Bruce both gave to the police department.

Speaking of aid, Gotham's favorite family were currently at the yearly GCPD Ball. Where rich families across Gotham would come together and honor the brave men and women, who served their town. Their honor would of course be opening their wallets to help fund their local protectors.

"On behave of the gallant men and women who protect this city, I would like to thank you all for being here tonight." One Minato Namikaze began as he looked around the large room. Which was filled with active and retired police men and women. While also housing some of Gotham's elite.

Minato himself was dressed in a expensive black tuxedo. He wasn't one for fancy material items, but for an important night like this one, he made an exception.

"I came to this city eight years ago and a lot has happened since then. I've made friends, formed a family and probably pissed a few people off here and there." Minato admitted with a small laugh, earning chuckles throughout the room.

Minato smiled and raised a glass of champagne into the air. "A lot has changed and this night is a testament to that truth. Gotham is finally healing and becoming a much better city. This of course is thanks to all the work our fine men and women of the GCPD put into protecting our city."

Minato looked to his family who was seated at a table with his friend Bruce Wayne. "To Gotham's finest, they are the true heroes this city needs."

Harleen and Bruce both raised their glasses into the air, as did the other participants in the room. This was of course followed by a loud cheer directed towards Gotham's favorite blond haired billionaire.

Smiling to himself, Minato leaned towards the microphone and motioned a hand behind his back. "Ladies and gentlemen, I hand the night over to Commissioner Jim Gordon."

Walking up to Minato, Jim held a hand out to the man. "Thank you, for all you have done for this city." The Commissioner thanked with his deepest gratitude.

Minato grinned and accepted the hand. "I don't do this for the thanks, only the cause. I should thank you and your police force commissioner."

The two men nodded and turned towards a cameraman, who snapped a picture of the two men.

"Enjoy the night Minato." Jim spoke before letting go of the handshake.

"Likewise commissioner." Minato replied before walking off the stage and towards his family.

Chuckling to himself as he noticed his wife fail her arms in the air, showing her rather outgoing personality. She was the beauty of the ball and in his opinion the most beautiful woman in the city.

She was dressed in a long skin tight white dress, that was open to reveal her large bust and giant diamond necklace. Her daughter, Mito was beside her dressed in a similar, but more tasteful white dress. Though she has a small thin gold chain necklace around her neck.

Minato smiled and walked in-between the two females he loved more than life itself. "How are you two lovely ladies doing?" The blond asked, as he gave them both pecks on the cheeks before taking his seat.

"We are doing fine puddin, a little board, but I enjoyed the speech." Harleen replied with a warm smile.

Bruce cleared his throat and smiled. "Yes it was quite a speech from a humble man. You should take some credit, none of this would be possible without you."

"Now I can't take all the credit, you, the police force and even Oliver have been a great help to me over the years." Minato spoke with an honest smile. "You all play just a part in all this, as I do."

Bruce smiled with a small nod and looked over to Naruto. The young blond was dressed in a black suit like his father, though his face like his mother screamed mischief. The bat vigilante made a mental note to keep a close eye on the boy. Especially after the last time Naruto pulled a prank on Bruce, he knew the boy couldn't be trusted without a watchful eye.

"Hey speaking of Ollie, where is that playboy? I thought you sent him an invite puddin?" Harleen asked while looking to her husband.

Bruce smirked and looked to his friend's wife. "He called me earlier, Oliver is tied up with a Count at the moment." He explained smoothly. "He sends his best."

Harleen perked up at the mention of a count. "Oh, Ollie must be shaking hands with some pretty important people then. Let's just hope this count doesn't have any young attractive daughters. After all you know how much of a ladies man he can be."

The three adults shared a laugh at their friend's tendency with women. While Naruto and Mito didn't pay much attention to the adults. Naruto was busy messing with something under the table, while his sister was mouthing the words no and stop.

"Let's just hope Oliver isn't mixed up with this Count Vertigo I've been hearing about." Minato chuckled out, making Bruce tense up a little. His friend didn't know about his or Oliver's secret identities.

"I highly doubt it, that's the Green Arrow's business. Oliver can hardly make himself breakfast, let alone take on a criminal like Vertigo." Bruce joked, trying to take the thought of Oliver fighting a villain out of their minds.

Minato and Harleen both laughed and nodded their heads. "Yes I believe you are right Bruce, Oliver doesn't have what it takes to be a vigilante." The blond billionaire snickered.

Bruce nodded, but the sound of a child's laughter caught his attention. Looking down to Naruto, he noticed the small five year old was laughing while trying to silence himself with his hand.

"Something funny Naruto?" The black haired bachelor asked.

Naruto shook his head while his facial expressions gave him away. "No way Uncle Bruce, Mito just told me a funny joke." The small five year old lied.

Bruce chuckled and nodded his head. "Oh really? Cause Mito has been pretty silent, though in the past ten minutes you've, unscrewed the salt shaker, placed hot-sauce in the drink I haven't touched and tried to tie my shoes together."

"Tried?" Naruto mumbled in surprise.

Bruce smirked and pointed under the table. "Take a look."

Lifting the cloth up, Naruto looked under the table and found Bruce's shoes neatly tied. While his own were wrapped together in a giant mess.

Naruto looked back up to Bruce with wide eyes. "When did you?"

"What tie your shoes, or when did I tighten the salt shaker?" Bruce leaned over the table with a devious smirk. "Or were you wondering when I switched our drinks around?"

Naruto's jaw hit the table, as he didn't believe is lame billionaire surrogate uncle could turn the tables on him so fast.

Harleen reached over the table and pinched her son's cheek. "Awww my poor baby, got outsmarted by his own uncle. That's ok, Mommy will just have to show you how to get away with things better."

Minato, Bruce and even Mito sighed at the woman's promise. She loved her children, but at times her mischief behavior didn't make her the best role model.

"Darling, maybe promoting this kind of behavior isn't the best course of action." Minato tried to persuade his wife, even though he knew it wouldn't work.

"Now puddin-..."

Harleen was cut short as the doors to the ballroom flung open, followed by multiple armed men storming the room.

"NOBODY MOVE!" A thug shouted, as dozens of gunshots went flying off into the air.

Screams went off throughout the room, Minato bent over and placed protective hands over his wife and daughter. While Bruce placed a hand over Naruto, in order to make sure the blond was safe.

Standing over at the podium, Jim Gordon laughed as he pointed a gun towards the thugs. "Whoever gang you are in, you made a very stupid decision tonight. Just look around, this room is filled with armed cops. You are out manned and out gunned, so place your weapons down and surrender yourselves!" The commissioner demanded without dropping his gun.

As if on queue, several cops held their guns out at the thugs. However, the thugs didn't move an inch. Instead they stood their ground against the overwhelmingly force.

"That's where you made a mistake commissioner. Our boss knew very well what was going on tonight. This isn't a robbery, but a lesson to the people of Gotham." The thugs all looked ready to fire their guns at any second. "This is to show that Penguin Gang still owns this city. And we sure as hell are not afraid of the police! Kill them all boys!"

Machine gunfire filled the room, as one by one bodies started to hit the floor. Some tried to escape by running into cover or to an exit, but that only made them a clear target for the thugs gunfire.

Bruce experiencing these kind of situations on a daily basis, was able to react fast. He grabbed Naruto and placed the child on the floor, under the cover of the table.

Batman was definitely needed right now, but before Bruce could sneak off. He needed to make sure his friends were going to be ok.

Looking back up to the table, Bruce was shocked to his very core. Mito and Minato both had been caught up in the cross fire. All the while, Harleen looked over her child and husband in horror.

"Harleen get down!" Bruce ordered as he forced Harleen under the table. Then as he looked at Naruto who was clutching onto his mother's body he stiffened up. "Stay here, you will be safe. I'll take care of everything."

Moving up, Bruce gave his friend and his goddaughter one look over. A tear trailing down his eye, he clutched his fists. Tonight Batman was going on a rampage.

While Bruce ran off to grab his gear, Naruto held onto his mother for dear life. Soon he found a wet liquid poor around him and his mother staining their clothes red.

"Mommy I'm scared." Naruto whined in a low voice, which was almost drowned out by the sound of gunfire.

Harleen placed her hand onto the ground and then inspected the blood that covered her hand. It was the blond of her child and husband. Smearing the blood onto her white dress, she began to laugh historically.

Naruto looked to his mother with fear in his eyes, half of her hair was covered in blood. While the other half remained golden blond. This image of his mother, along with the events of this night. Will continue to haunt Naruto for the rest of his life.

(Three days later)

It has been three days, three long heartbreaking days since Minato and Mito Namikaze had died. They along with twenty seven others, lost their lives that night. Though out of the gunmen who attacked the ball, only one remained. The man was taken to Arkham, as he refused to give information out and he pleaded insanity.

Since then Batman had been on a rampage looking for the Penguin. The streets of Gotham were littered with beaten and bloodied gang members who Batman had left in the streets.

However, Batman wasn't alone in his crusade to find the Penguin and avenge his friend. Oliver Queen aka the Green Arrow had flown over to join Bruce in his manhunt. Though so far both men had drawn up blanks on the whereabouts of the Penguin.

During this manhunt for the Penguin, another problem was slowly stirring. This problem was the one that involved the last two living members of the Namikaze family.

Just recently, the funeral for Minato and Mito had taken place. Though many mourned the lost of Gotham's favorite blond and his daughter, the service itself had just ended and not to many were at attendance.

Bruce's butler Alfred orchestrated the entire funeral and the Wayne family paid for everything. This was best, as Harleen wasn't in the mental state to do anything at the moment, she was barely able to dress herself and attend the funeral. Though not many could blame her, she watched as the man she loved and her child, bleed to death over top of her.

Besides Harleen and Alfred, not to many other people were present for the funeral. Commissioner Gordon, along with a squad of police officers and his daughter, Barbra were present. Along with Naruto of course and a strange man that no one knew, but considering the circumstances. No one questioned as to why he was there.

Neither Bruce nor Oliver were present for the funeral, they wished to mourn their friend. Though they agreed finding Penguin and bringing him to justice was the only way to properly mourn their loss.

Unaware to the two heroes, was that a young blond boy needed them, and they were not there. Naruto was alone, his father was dead, his sister was dead and his mother might as well be too.

Currently however, Naruto was standing over Minato and Mito's freshly covered graves. They were both buried behind the Namikaze estate. Surrounded by the flower garden, which Naruto, Mito and Harleen had planted together.

It pained Naruto to look at the names of his family on the tombstones, but he didn't want to leave the spot he was at. Alfred had just escorted his mother back to the estate, while Gordon, his daughter and the GCPD officers had given Naruto their best, before leaving the blond alone.

"Why did you have to die?" Naruto mumbled in a low voice, as a crack of thunder sounded off from above.

The sound of thunder was followed by footsteps and a man stopped by Naruto's side. "When I first met Minato, he was just a boy like yourself." The unknown male explained. "He came to me alone and broken, so I forged him into the hardest steel and greatest weapon possible."

Naruto remained silent, but he looked to the man out of the corner of his eye. The man looked young, no older than his father. This confused Naruto, because by the man's words he should be much older than his father. Unless there was something that Naruto was missing, but for five years old and growing up in Gotham; Naruto was pretty cleaver.

The man himself, was dressed in a sharp black suit with little flair added onto it. His black hair was long, but didn't pass over his ears. The man did have a beard, but like his hair, it wasn't very long. Though something Naruto took notice of, was the silver ring around his right hand, the ring itself looked like the head of a demon.

"It's a shame really, taken down by a coward holding a gun. That's a death with no honor, Minato deserved better than that." The man then bent over and placed a hand on Minato's tombstone. Then he started to mumbled some words in a language foreign to Naruto.

"Who are you?" Naruto asked, as he finally found his voice.

The man ignored Naruto for a moment and continued his chant. Though after a short moment he stood to his feet and towered over the blond.

"I am Ra's Al Ghul, leader of the League of Assassins. I was your father's teacher and mentor, long before he left the league and even longer before you were born." The now named Ra's explained with power behind his words.

"What is the League of Assassins?" Naruto asked, never hearing his father ever mention the group before.

"We are a group, which your father was a member of. A group that kill for the betterment of humanity. A group which you will now join." Ra's finished as he folded his arms behind his back.

Naruto balled his fists. "And why would I join you, my mommy said killing is bad."

Ra's nodded his head and started to walk. "You see boy, there isn't a choice here. You are the son of a fallen assassin, and now you will join our ranks." Ra's walked in front of Naruto and smirked. "I can see a hatred in your eyes, that's the first step. See I will take that fire that overwhelming anger, and I will forge you into the hardest steel. Just like I did your father."

"And I don't want to be steel, I want my sister and father back!" Naruto yelled in rage, tears starting to flow from his eyes.

Ra's looked Naruto in his eyes and spoke with conviction. "They are dead and that is life, I could bring them back, but I won't. Instead I well forge you into a weapon. One that will be strong enough to best any foe. You will become the will of Ra's Al Ghul!"

Naruto opened his mouth to protest, but Ra's spoke again.

"Do you love your mother, boy?"

Naruto nodded with little hesitation.

"Good, now what if I told you I could make you strong. Strong enough so no person can take her away like those gunmen did to your father and sister."

Naruto was silent, he didn't know what to say.

"If that's not enough, what if I told you this Penguin, that everyone blames for the shooting. Isn't the man responsible for anything and is in fact innocent." Ra's then held his hand into Naruto's shoulder and gripped tightly. "What if I could give you the tools to hunt and kill the man responsible for Minato and Mito's deaths?"

Naruto took a hard swallow. "I will accept your offer then, I will become the will of Ra's Al Ghul. I will avenge my family." The blond declared, pleasing Ra's with his words. "But I have two questions."

Ra's held his hands out. "Speak openly boy."

"First off, what's so special about my father that a leader of a secret group would come here after his death?"

Ra's smiled. "That's simple, your father left the League, but the only way to accomplish that, is to survive my sword. Your father did, making him the new Ra's Al Ghul by name, but he refused the honor."

Naruto nodded, he was five so he didn't understand everything, but he accepted the answer for now. "Ok, Now answer why you are wanting me to join the League?"

Again Ra's lips curled into a large smile. "You contain the blood of one, if not the best assassins the League ever produced. Because of that I will train you to become something greater than just Naruto Namikaze."

Naruto nodded. "I understand."

"Good now go pack your belongings and say goodbye to your mother. I shall return within the hour to collect you." Ra's explained before walking off, leaving Naruto with nothing besides his own thoughts.

"I promise." Naruto began as he looked to his father and sister's tombstones. "I will find the man responsible for this, and I will kill him. I'm an assassin now after all."

(With Batman and Green Arrow)

Batman and the Green arrow stood side by side, both overlooking a large warehouse across the street.

"Are you sure he will be here?" Oliver asked, as he was starting to grow impatient.

Batman held binoculars to his mask and nodded. "I interrogated six different members of Penguin's crew. They all told me the same location, trust me Oliver. We will get that son of a bitch tonight."

Oliver nodded and flipped his hood over his head, just in time to see a black suburban drive towards them.

"Is that him?" The Green Arrow asked, already touching an arrow in his quiver.

Smirking to himself Batman placed his binoculars away. "Yeah that's Penguin, right on time."

Both superheroes watched as the suburban drove into the warehouse. Only to be closed from behind by Penguin's thugs.

"So we take the stealth approach Bruce?" Oliver asked, looking to his left and finding no one there. Shaking his head Oliver shot an arrow with a line attached to the warehouse. "I hate when he does that." The billionaire grumbled before rappelling down towards a window.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx

(With Naruto)

After he finished packing some clothes, Naruto walked into his mother's room to break the news of his departure. Though when he walked into the room, he didn't find her mopping around and on suicide watch. In fact she was skipping around the room, humming to herself.

She was still in her funeral dress, but her face was covered in white powder makeup and her hair was tied into two long ponytails. Honestly, for the first time ever, Naruto was afraid of his mom.

"Mommy?" Naruto spoke up in a low voice.

Noticing her son, Harleen perked up and brought the boy into a hug. In the process, she rubbed some powder onto his cheek.

"Oh it's my little Puddin cup, how are you doing sweetie?" Harleen asked as she gave her son a twisted smile.

"I've been better mom."

"Call me Harley now." She cut in.

"Mom you should sit down." The small five year old advised, refusing his mother's request while doing so. "I have something to tell you."

Harley shrugged her shoulders and plopped down on her and Minato's bed. "What do you wanna talk about?"

Naruto walked beside his mother and took a seat. "An old friend of dad approached me."

"Ra's Al Ghul." Harley spoke without skipping a beat, talking in a voice that reminded Naruto of his mother before the incident.

Naruto raised an eyebrow. "You know that man mommy?"

Harley smiled and ruffled her son's hair. "There isn't a thing I didn't know about you father. So tell me what does that man want?"

Naruto looked down and fiddled with his hands. "He is taking me away, to train me to be strong. He also told me, he will help find the man responsible for dad and Mito's death. That way I can kill the man."

Harley nodded and stretched her body, doing so allowing Naruto to see the necklace around his mother's neck. It was Mito's first gold necklace, and it had Harley's diamond wedding ring along with his father's tied onto it.

"That's acceptable, from what your father told me. This Ra's guy is a real douche, but he will honor his promise to train you." Harley then zoned out for a moment. "Besides when you leave, mommy is going to do things. Bad things, things that she don't want you to see."

"Mom." Naruto mumbled in a low voice, shocked by his mother's words.

Harley giggled and flipped back to her ditzy persona. "I love you, my little puddin cup." The woman declared happily before kissing her son's cheek. "Just make sure you write me some letters."

"I love you too mom, and I promise I will."

(With Batman and Green Arrow)

"End of the line Oswald!" Batman shouted as he grabbed the portly man and slammed him into a wall.

Penguin grunted in pain and looked behind Batman. He wasn't pleased to find the Green Arrow standing over his beaten gang.

"What the bloody hell bats, normally you wait till I do something illegal before storming into my hideouts!" The Penguin shouted in anger, right before a fist buried itself in his face. "And now you brought your boyfriend here with you!"

"Don't play games with me Oswald! Because of you twenty seven people are dead! One of those people was a five year old girl!" Batman roared before slamming a fist into Penguin's stomach.

Penguin wheezed in pain, then smirking to the Green Arrow, he began to speak. "So if he's bad cop, what are you? Good cop?"

Bruce jerked Penguin by the edges of his black coat and threw him to Oliver. Who punched the man in the face, sending him into the concrete.

"No, I'm worse cop." The Green Arrow growled before drawing his bow with an arrow. "Now tell us, why did you call the hit on the GCPD ball!"

"I don't know what you're even talking about! I've been in Blüdhaven for the past week. Trying to set up an arms deal with a local gang!" The Penguin shouted out. "If you don't believe me, just check the bloody crates! They are filled with guns!"

"You're lying!" The Green Arrow shouted, shooting an arrow beside the Penguin's head. "Now start talking, or the next one won't miss!"

"Hold it!"'Batman yelled from over to the side, he was currently scanning through all the crates. "There are machine guns all over the place. His story checks out."

Oliver snarled. "So, he's committed another crime. Big deal, that doesn't excuse him from calling the attack on the GCPD ball!"

Batman nodded and walked over to his friend. "That's true, but an attack like that doesn't fit Oswald's normal MO. It was a terrorist attack with no monetary gain. I believe he was set up, the question is by who." Batman then kicked Penguin onto his back and placed a boot on his chest. "Who would set you up?"

The Penguin sighed. "How the bloody hell should I know? You're the world's greatest detective, you figure it out."

Batman growled and kicked the side of Penguin's head, knocking him unconscious.

Oliver sighed and crossed his arms. "What's our play from here? If Penguin didn't call the hit and our only crook left alive won't talk. How can we find out who is responsible?"

Batman shook his head and started to call Alfred. "I don't know, I just don't know. Though let's make sure Penguin and his crew get a one way ticket to Arkham."

(Eleven years later, Naruto age 16)

Walking down a stone corridor, which was lit by the flickering light of torches. One Ra's Al Ghul moved towards the sound of metal clashing against metal. Soon, Ra's found himself in an open chamber, where six individuals were doing battle. Well to be more accurate, five members of the League, were teaming up against a young teen in the center. This teen was Naruto Namikaze.

All six were dressed in a similar fashion, which was all black clothes. That had leather arm, leg, shoulder and chest guards overtop, which were also black. Each fighter also had one long katana, a bow and quiver attached to their back.

As Naruto fought off his attackers, one slipped into his defenses and almost stabbed him. Though with remarkable speed, Naruto evaded the strike and grabbed his attacker's arm, and in one swift motion snapped the man's arm.

Shrieking in pain, the man dropped his sword. Which Naruto snatched mid-fall before redirecting the sword into the man's stomach. Then without skipping a beat, Naruto continued to fight the four still breathing assassins.

One unnamed assassin backed away from the group and pulled out a bow. Then while taking aim, he fired an arrow at Naruto's head.

The blond didn't even blink as he caught the arrow from the air. Then with little remorse he stabbed the arrow into the chest of another assassin, killing the man by stabbing his heart.

Ra's watched with a pleased face as he watched Naruto fight his opponents. The blond was a true warrior, just like his father.

Naruto being left against only three foes, decided to take the offensive. He moved swiftly and caught one assassin by surprise. Resulting in Naruto slicing his katana across the man's stomach.

As the man fell to his death, Naruto sheathed his sword and grabbed his bow. Then turning on his heel, he grabbed two arrows and fired them. The first deflected an enemy arrow, while the second one lodged itself it another assassin's neck.

"And then there was one." Naruto mumbled before sweeping his leg, kicking the last man onto his back. Then by drawing an arrow back and taking a kill shot, he finished the man off. "That one is me."

Ra's started to clap and walk over to Naruto. "I'm very impressed by your little performance. You've come a long way in eleven years, Thaealab."

Naruto removed his hood and mask, revealing his long blond hair, pale skin and cold icy blue eyes. Naruto then kneeled on his right leg and bowed his head. "Thank you, master."

Ra's smirked and made a motion with his hands for Naruto to stand. "Rise Thaealab, we have much to discuss. So follow me."

Naruto did as instructed and took his master's side. For a moment they walked in silence, But eventually Naruto broke the silence.

"What did you wish to speak about? Have I failed the League in some way?" Naruto asked in a dry tone.

Ra's laughed and rested a hand on Naruto's shoulder. "No Thaealab, you are my most trusted and beloved student. You've done everything, but fail the League. I actually have a mission for you."

"I see, who is the target?" Naruto asked, already knowing the jest of what his mission would involve. He would have to take someone's life for the League.

Ra's placed his arms behind his back and looked up. "Eleven years ago, Naruto Namikaze went missing from Gotham. He was presumed dead and he has died. Now that is left is Thaealab, the fox and will of Ra's Al Ghul." The Demon's Head smirked and looked to the young teen. "Today I release you into the world, but I have conditions you must complete."

Lifting his eyebrow, Naruto was confused. "Conditions? Like what master?"

"Remember when I first took you in? I told you I would help you avenge your sister and father." Ra's grinned at the fire that burned in his pupil's eyes.

"How could I forget?"

"That's what I like to hear." The master chuckled darkly. "See as Ra's Al Ghul, there is little I don't know. Like for instance, there is still a man alive who was a shooter involved with your sister and father's death. He has spent the last eleven years in Arkham, and since then hasn't spilled an inch of information about his attack."

Naruto balled his fists, the info he was given didn't set well with him. "I see." The blond growled in anger.

"Calm yourself Thaealab, your mission is simple. Head to Gotham, infiltrate Arkham and interrogate and kill the man who killed your family. Then follow any leads till you find who was truly responsible for your father and sister's murder."

Naruto bowed. "I will accomplish this mission without fault." The blond promised.

"I know you will Thaealab, that's why I'm setting you free from the League, under a few rules of course. Which are, you will not cross the League and if I call upon you, you will follow my orders without question."

"Of course Ra's, I am your weapon." Naruto declared without any hesitation.

"I Know, now go prepare to depart. Your heading home Thaealab. I just hope Gotham is ready for you. And I also hope young Damian won't miss you too much."

(Arkham Asylum, one day later)

It was the dead of night, by now the graveyard shift had moved in. So the amount of guards in Arkham was pretty low, perfect for a stealthy assassin.

Naruto moved without a sound, while simultaneously sticking to the shadows. As he snuck around the Asylum, he would take out any of the few guards he would come across. Naruto did not kill these guards, but he did make sure they would not be an issue. After all he had two agenda's for being in Arkham.

After twenty minutes of sneaking, Naruto came to a cell with one prisoner inside. One James King, a criminal who made his living off robbing and killing the people of Gotham. He had been a gang member for every major crime boss in Gotham, save one.

Though there was something special about James, and that wasn't hard to figure out. He was the sole surviving Gunmen of the GCPD ball massacre.

As Naruto glared at the man through the steel bars, he grabbed his bow and an arrow. James was currently sleeping, but Naruto was about to change that. Though first he clicked a microphone by his mouth, this was a device to conceal his voice by making it sound deeper. Really Naruto only did this for the intimidation factor.

"James King." Naruto growled before firing an arrow into the man's leg.

James eyes sprung open and he wailed in agony. "Aww, what the shit!" The criminal seethed, before noticing the figure in black holding a bow. "What the hell are you? One of those stupid vigilantes?"

Naruto lifted a keyring he stole off a guard, then as he opened James cell. Naruto took a few steps inside. "Unfortunately for you, I'm not."

James held the entry point of the arrow, trying to stop the bleeding. "Guards! Guards come here now!"

Naruto smirked and grabbed another arrow. "The guards won't be coming, I've already taken care of them." Finishing his explanation, Naruto drew another arrow back and pointed it at James. "Now me and you are going to talk!"

"Fuc-. Gwahhh!" James shrieked as another arrow flew into his shoulder blade.

"We can do this all night, I have plenty of arrows!" Naruto grabbed another arrow and held it at James. "Eleven years ago you attacked the GCPD ball, who were you working for!"

"I'll tell you the same thing I told Batman and that other prick with arrows eleven years ago. Piss off-..." James clenched his fists and looked into the ceiling. This time he didn't scream or mutter an insult as the second arrow poked into his arm.

"I don't have much patience Mr. King." Naruto walked over to James and grabbed the arrow in his shoulder. "Who were you working for!"

"I don't remember." The man mumbled back weakly.

Naruto growled and snapped the arrow in half, making the wound bigger with the movement. "Start remembering!" Naruto ordered, as he took the snapped arrow piece and stabbed James leg.

"Why does it matter? You'll kill me anyway." James seethed, spitting some blood out at Naruto.

Shaking in rage, Naruto back handed James. "I am Thaealab, an assassin from the League of Assassins! I could kill you without remorse, it would be quick and painless." Naruto then jerked the man by his prison uniform and smirked. "Or I could place you in the most horrific torture of your life. I could take you to my master and he will have you beaten, stabbed and burned for decades!"

"You lie!" James growled in disbelief, not believing the blond's words could be true. This angered Naruto, causing him to throw James against a wall.

Naruto held an arrow over James manhood. "I'm growing tired of your shit Mr. King!"

Beaten and bloody, James sighed in defeat. "I yield, I'll tell you what I know. Just make my death quick."

Naruto nodded and stood up. "Speak then."

"I owed somebody money, a old buddy of mine from Jump City. Turns out, eleven years ago he owned someone else money, someone really scary. I didn't get a name or anything, just a deal. He would wipe my debt completely, but I had to take a job for him. I didn't even know what I was getting into till we stormed the event with guns. There was a little girl there man, and I killed her!"

"What is your friend's name." Naruto asked, his right hand shaking.

"Mizuki, his name is Mizuki Sato. He runs some of the dock operations that go on in Jump City. Last I heard he still does, you find Mizuki then you can find the guy that called the job in." James finished explaining right as an arrow buried into his chest.

Naruto pulled his mask down and removed his hood. Tears slowly trailing down his cheeks. "I would say, tell my sister I love her, but you won't see her where you are going."

Naruto hoisted his bow high in the air, and then placed it over his head. Then without even blinking, Naruto left James bleeding and lifeless corpse inside his open cell.

"Now only one more thing to do." Naruto mumbled, as he pulled his mask up and flipped his hood back over his head. Then moving quickly, Naruto faded into the shadows and headed towards his last destination.

Moving quickly, Naruto wasted no time going to his destination. Which was the wing of Arkham where the high priority inmates were placed away. With that being the case, there was a lot more guards on patrol.

Naruto, not having that much time to move around Arkham, contemplated killing the guards. That way he could make his escape plan go much more smoother. However, he decided against that choice. So he stayed in the shadows and disabled every guard that got in his path.

Eventually, Naruto came across a large iron door. Above the door the word cation and danger were flashing red. Laughing at the predicament and why he was here, Naruto held the hand of an unconscious guard to a hand scanner. The scanner flashed green and the door started to slide open.

"Man this is way to easy." The blond mumbled as he strolled inside the room.

Naruto walked passed multiple cells without batting an eye towards the criminals inside. He saw multiple big time names, like the Killer Croc and Bane. Both of whom where heavily chained onto a wall. He also noticed, Penguin, Poison Ivy, Two Face, The Riddler and so many more.

Eventually he made it to the end of the room. Though as he passed one more cell a voice called out to him.

"Here for little old me?" The voice of the joker spoke smoothly, right before busting out in a fit of laughter.

Naruto snorted. "As if." The blond replied before walking by.

As Naruto walked, he couldn't help but smile. His mother was dressed in the standard Arkham uniform, casually applying nail polish onto her fingers.

"Harley Quinn." Naruto began in his disguised voice, drawing an arrow and pointing it at his mother. "I've come for you!"

Some of the inmates poked their heads out of their cells. All waiting to see if the 'Crime Queen of Gotham' was about to get put down.

"Oh looks like it's bye bye for little Harley." The Joker laughed happily.

Harley smiled and placed her nail polish away, then with a skip in her step, she walked to her cell door. "You wish clown freak, my little Puddin Cup is here to bust me out." She declared victoriously. "After all, what mom wouldn't recognize her own son?"

Naruto laughed and put his bow away. "Thought I could get you that time." The blond admitted, before he casually walked over and unlocked Harley's cell.

Harley walked over and hugged her son. "Even a trained assassin can't pull one over a loving mother." She explained before gripping tightly on his uniform. "The last letter you sent me, you said you would-.."

"He's dead mom, I killed him. Just like I said I would." Naruto cut in and felt his mother hug him tight.

"That's my boy!"

Naruto smiled. "Dad was right, you never were a good influence."

Harley couldn't help, but laugh. "What can I say? I loved your father and Mito, but me and you have always been different from them. We just had to loose them to find that out."

Naruto tightened his old on his mother. "I'm leaving for Jump City tonight. I got a tip from King before I killed him. This lead should take me to the person responsible for dad and Mito's death. After eleven years, we will finally have our justice."

Harley backed away from her son and nodded. "Yeah we will, but at least stay in Gotham for the night. I wanna spend a little more time with my Puddin Cup."

Naruto allowed his mom to wrap her arms around his own. "Alright I can agree to that." The blond replied, as the mother son duo strolled off, unaware of the camera recording the masked Naruto and Harley making their escape.

Chapter End

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx

Here is chapter one and I hope you all enjoyed everything! I'm really excited about this story and I can't wait to keep writing!

Though here is the part I answer some questions that I know I will get.

1. Why have Harley as Naruto's mom? One she's awesome duh, two she's a fun character and will be fun to write and have around in the story.

2. As you noticed my Harley will be different though, she will have nothing to do with the Joker. She will be her own Woman and a big time villain in Gotham.

3. Some may wonder, is Naruto a good guy bad guy or what? Well for now he won't be a villain. For now he will be a vigilante of sorts. Though his methods will place him at odds with the Teen Titans quite a bit. Though of course with this having a Raven pairing he will eventually be more towards the good side.

4. This is gonna be a long story, I already have three to four arcs thought up that could be quite lengthy. And who knows I might add even more.

5. This story draws a lot of inspiration from multiple DC shows, comics and movies. As such expect a lot more than what was in the original Teen Titans. And if I mess anything up cannon wise with anything I add in the story, sorry I'm not a perfect encyclopedia of DC knowledge.

6. The timeline of this story is basically a little while after Terra gets turned into stone.

7. And finally there will be a lot of Naruto characters in the future. Though for now don't expect a lot besides one or two villains for plot sake and one for sure ally for Naruto.

Well until next update, thanks for reading and please leave a review for what you thought of this story so far!
