Hello everyone and welcome to my first Naruto and Assassin's Creed crossover as it was one of my winners for my 'next to be created' poll and I hope you enjoy this.

I'm just going to put this out there now, Naruto is going to meet all our favorite Assassin's Creed characters, but I'm not covering his time doing so this chapter as I wouldn't be able to give some interactions justice and I would have upwards of 20 chapters before I got Naruto dealing with the non-Assassin's Creed items if I was to do them justice. There will be chapters later that will have flashbacks or Naruto telling the few people he trusts/will trust about his time gone. I also will probably have Naruto give a decent description to Tsunade or Gaara about where he has been, what he has seen, and what he has done.

Now, normally this is where I would ask for people to offer suggestions for pairings for Naruto, but I already picked the pairings for this one. However, if people provide VALID REASONS, meaning not something like 'she's hot', 'she needs be with Naruto', or any of that crap, then I may add them to his harem, yes it's a harem, but I already have a decent sized one picked out. BUT, Hinata will NOT be with Naruto in this so you can just drop that now and I wasn't going to do Sakura either. Also, NONE of the decided pairings are from Assassin's Creed as none of the woman really stood out to me. Sure Lucy Stillman, Hope Jensen, Caterina Sforza, one of the two who Connor trained, Elise, and the female assassin from Louisiana (I never played that one unfortunately so I don't know anything about her) as well as the sister of the newest Assassin's Creed (which I own but unfortunately I am thousands of miles from my game systems) are badass girls, but none struck me as working with Naruto or his world.

Something that I may need help with, I have what two translators told me was the proper pronunciation of a name in Japanese. If someone can tell me if it is wrong or right, then please do so and tell me the proper pronunciation and spelling of it please.

Lastly, this is NOT going to be Canon like except, maybe, for the order of some events. This is not the happy, idiotic, oblivious, everybody craps on Naruto that wants nothing else other than to be Hokage. This is gonna be a badass, mature, veteran, trained, brutal, ruthless, efficient Naruto. If you want canon, then go watch the anime or read the manga cause why the heck would I write a story that follows canon?

WARNING! Naruto will be extremely powerful in this where only some members of the Akatsuki could hope to take him on and I believe I have a way for it to be believable. The reasons for this will be made VERY clear this chapter. I am putting this warning now so no one will complain about being overpowered as the story goes.

Now that that's settled, let's start the show shall we?

Disclaimer: You know the drill; I don't own Naruto or anything but a few ideas, attacks, and maybe some characters. If I owned Naruto, he would have been the elite that Sasuke always claimed that he himself was.

Chapter 1: Calling and Starting

Valley of the End: Sasuke Retrieval Mission

The two stared at each other as they created their respective attacks as they prepared to beat the other; one to gain power and leave, the other to bring the latter back to their home and knock some sense into him. The first was Sasuke Uchiha of the Uchiha clan and he was attempting to leave his village, Konoha, and go to the greatest traitor of said village: Orochimaru of the Sanin. His goal was to gain power from the man to get strong enough to kill his older brother Itachi, who killed off their clan except Sasuke and one other, regardless of the consequences and now wanted to kill the guy in front of him, his supposed best friend, to gain the next level of power for his Dojutsu, the Sharingan. The second was Naruto Uzumaki, the dead last and the most unpredictable number one hyperactive knuckle head ninja and he was attempting to drag back his supposed best friend even if he had to beat some sense into him.

If one were to see them now, they would be surprised as many would consider Sasuke the better and that Naruto should look like a training dummy that was used for hours without stop. However, that was not the case as Sasuke was bloody, bruised, and his left arm looked broken despite being in the second stage of his Curse Seal, while Naruto only had some bumps and bruises while his upper jacket was destroyed and his shirt showing a hole in the chest area due to Sasuke shoving an attack through his chest and he was wrapped in a crimson fiery cloak due to him calling on the demon sealed within him: The Nine Tailed Demon Fox aka Kyubi. The two were currently making their attacks with Sasuke's being a cursed powered Chidori and Naruto's being a demonic powered Rasengan.

As the two leapt at each other, they both launched their arms forward and their two attacks clashed with both attackers gritting their teeth in effort before Naruto shocked Sasuke by swinging his other arm forward and slamming a second Rasengan into his gut and Sasuke screamed as the Rasengan dug into him before he was propelled back into the canyon wall while Naruto landed and took some deep breaths.

As he stood and the Kyubi cloak receded, he walked to Sasuke who fell out of the crater onto the ground as the curse mark receded and he appeared normal… well, as normal as he could with his torso burned and twisted slightly from the Rasengan hitting him. Naruto reached him and rolled him over getting a groan from him as he was still slightly conscious and Naruto kept catching his breath, "I told you Sasuke, you're not going anywhere." He stated and Sasuke passed out. Just as Naruto was about to pick the bastard up, he turned to see Kabuto there with some Sound Ninja and growled.

"Well that was surprising Naruto-kun, no one expected that you would be able to beat Sasuke." Kabuto stated with a large smirk on his face before he frowned at seeing Kakashi land with Genma, Yugao, and Anko.

However, before anyone could comment, dark clouds formed confusing everyone before yellow electricity began sparking around Naruto before a gold light shot down and surrounded Naruto shocking everyone, but Kabuto used this opportunity to grab Sasuke and leave while the other sound Ninja moved with him a distance behind should they need to give him time. Kakashi and the others would have reacted, had it not been for the fact the light vanished with Naruto along with it, "Dammit! C'mon we have to try and get Sasuke before they make it across the border." Kakashi ordered while the others looked skeptical.

"But what about Naruto?" Anko asked and Kakashi shrugged uncaringly making the Genma frown while Yugao and Anko scowled slightly.

"He doesn't matter, he's nothing but a waste of time, Sasuke does as he is the one of the last Uchiha and should be protected. Now let's go." He stated as he jumped off into the trees while Anko and Genma followed after Yugao motioned them to and she began to look around before Jiraiya came and was looking around in confusion.

"Neko, what's going on where is everyone?" He asked and Yugao sighed slightly knowing this wasn't going to go well.

"Kakashi, Anko-chan, and Genma are pursuing Kabuto as he is transporting Sasuke, but…" She stated and Jiraiya frowned before motioning for her to speak, "Naruto… is gone. There were dark clouds, strange electricity, and then a bright gold light came down on him and he was gone. Kakashi then ordered us after Sasuke before then stating that Naruto didn't matter as he was just a waste of time when Anko asked about Naruto." She stated as she saw Jiraiya have a shocked face before it twisted into rage, which he showed by smashing part of the cliffside and it came crashing down making Yugao widen her eyes in shock as that was strength on par with Tsunade.

"Neko, rush back to the village and tell Tsunade what happened and to send the best trackers, analysts, and anyone else that could help with this matter and to do it fast!" He ordered while she nodded and took off while Jiraiya sent a clone to help Kakashi… if for no other reason than he could beat the ever living Hell out of him after possibly getting the Uchiha brat back before giving anything that was left to Tsunade to deal with and planning on recommending the brat was executed for treason, "Naruto, please be alright." Jiraiya thought as he began looking and even called a few toads to help him.

Unknown Location and Time: With Naruto

Naruto groaned as he opened his eyes and found himself in a weird place; all he saw around him was blackness with gold words, lines, and symbols on all sides of him and it seemed to be flowing everywhere. He stood up from being on the ground and looked around in confusion, "Where the heck am I and what the heck happened?" He asked as he popped his neck and rolled his shoulders as he was still sore from the battle with Sasuke.

"You are in between child." A woman's voice sounded while having an echo quality to it and Naruto turned to see a woman with brunette colored hair to her shoulders and piercing eyes in a white dress and headdress and an older man with a white furry beard in an sleeveless armored white kimono type outfit with a cape flowing and hiding his right arm while his head had a crown/helm over his head that revealed his face and was a head taller than the woman, "We are glad that you arrived here unharmed child." The woman stated and Naruto frowned as most of the time when women spoke to him in the comforting way she did, it was only to get him into a position where they could harm him.

"You still haven't answered where exactly I am and what happened. Furthermore, I want to know why the heck I'm here and who the hell you are." He stated while the two nodded since his reaction was to be expected.

"Calm yourself child, we will explain everything." The man stated and Naruto sighed before nodding, "Now, as to where you are, this is a place we created long ago to allow us to talk with people of our choosing to be our avatars, or champions if you prefer, and is in between different worlds that exist. As to what happened, we called you from your world as we needed your help and you would have died in that valley had we not intervened." He stated confusing then shocking Naruto before he continued, "Now, I have answered why you are here, as to who we are, we have gone by many names over our time of being alive and the name I was last called is Jupiter and beside me is Minerva." The now named Jupiter stated and Naruto frowned in thought.

"So what the heck do you need me for anyway? I can't be the only one that you could have taken and, while I am grateful that I am not dying anytime soon, there had to be a reason besides me possibly getting killed that made you pick me." He stated as he had a hard time believing that he was the only one of these so called Avatars that they could just pull out when they wanted and that they were just going to save him out of the goodness of their hearts. He was nowhere near as naïve or stupid as people thought he was, he just knew the best way to survive was to appear as such and he also had a promise to keep involving that matter. From the looks on Minerva's and Jupiter's faces, they knew fully well that he wasn't a fool.

"You are right child, we chose you because we have seen the life you have lived and wish to help you get the training, respect, and honor that you should have gotten from the start. It also is due to your unique status helping to ensure what we need done is done. You see, we want to send you to a world where we once lived and there are several items that have extraordinary powers and a rogue being that is of our race. What we want you to do is drain the power from these items as you can and lead the people that will allow the rogue being to come into a position where you can kill her and end her threat to the world. In exchange, you will keep powers and abilities that you gain from the items and we will help you in other ways as well." Minerva stated and Naruto widened his eyes in surprise at the request.

Jupiter nodded, "And to ensure you get the training to survive, we have three individuals that can help you." He stated as he motioned behind Naruto and he turned to see two people he was shocked to see and one he didn't know. Before him was the Fourth Hokage, Kyubi, and a woman with red hair that he didn't know.

"But why them? I mean one is, or apparently was, sealed into me, another put him there, and the lady I don't even know. So why them?" He asked missing the shocked looks of the Fourth and the woman before the woman walked up with tears in her eyes and pulled Naruto into a hug making him stiffen and wonder what the heck was going on.

"Naru-chan, I'm Kushina Uzumaki, your mother." She stated and Naruto widened his eyes in shock as the now named Kushina continued to cry, "I am so sorry that I wasn't there for you, but I died during the Kyubi attack. I am so sorry Sochi." She stated before she felt arms wrap around her and saw Naruto bury his face into her as he cried too and hugged her back.

The Fourth then came up and had a feeling he knew what to expect before he joined in the hug before pulling back when Naruto turned to him, "*Sigh* Naruto, I'm not just the Fourth Hokage, I'm also your father, Minato Namikaze, and I am so sorry for doing that, but there was no one else I could trust to contain Kyubi." The now named Minato stated before bracing himself as Naruto hung his head for a moment and moved from his mother and right on que Naruto slugged him right in the face.

"YOU FREAKING MORON!" Naruto shouted as his fist met Minato's face before he gripped him by his cloak with rage, betrayal, and sadness in his eyes, "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT MY LIFE HAS BEEN LIKE BECAUSE OF YOUR DECISION?! I CAN'T EVEN BE UPSET AT KYUBI BECAUSE HE DIDN'T ASK TO BE SEALED INSIDE ME AND IT NEVER MADE ANY SENSE THAT HE WOULD JUST SUDDENLY ATTACK THE VILLAGE! NOW I FIND OUT MY FATHER IS THE ONE WHO DID THIS TO ME?! GAH! I DON'T KNOW WHETHER TO BE PISSED OFF OR HAPPY TO FINALLY KNOW WHO THE HECK MY FAMILY IS!" Naruto shouted before he began rubbing his head frantically as he took some breaths while Minato smiled sadly, Kushina had more tears coming from her eyes, and Kyubi was shocked Naruto didn't blame him for anything.

"Naruto, how old are you now?" He asked as he wondered how much his boy could have gone through and wondered why he was so short and Naruto sighed slightly.

"I'm 12 going on 13 and if you're wondering about my height and everything, it's because I could only ever eat Ramen since no one but the local ramen chefs would sell me any food without over charging me, trying to poison me, or chasing me away." He stated making Kyubi lower his head slightly while Minato and Kushina were horrified before Naruto sat down, "Those two, Hinata-chan, and the Third were the only ones that looked out for me and now I question about the Third since there is no way he didn't know about this and that goes for Jiraiya and Tsunade too since they would have to know." He stated making the two look down in sadness and shame.

"Kit, you might as well go ahead and tell them everything, and I do mean everything. Also, get rid of that stupid mask, there is no reason for it anymore and your promise to the old man stopped being valid when he died." Kyubi stated while giving a look to Minerva and Jupiter that this needed to be done and then they could work out the details later with the two older beings nodding in agreement. Naruto sighed tiredly before he began telling them everything from the villagers' abuse to Kakashi's neglect, the convenience of the Third coming to his rescue at times to the Council hating him, everyone fawning over Sasuke to ensuring he himself never got a passing grade or any praise, from him taking down some enemies and never getting the credit to him only having a few to actually call friends, and each one just piled on the pain in Minato's and Kushina's hearts. He then told him that when he was five he actually beat the hell out of a Chunin that attacked him and the Third made him promise not to show his real skill unless he was attacked again since it would make certain powers try harder to kill him and so he made his dumb, happy, idiot persona.

By the end of it, Kushina was in tears and Minato decided that he owed Naruto about another 500 punches, at least, for his stupidity in believing that the village would listen to him. Naruto sighed tiredly as he hated those memories, "We can all hug it out or punch it out later, but what are you three actually going to be doing to help me?" Naruto asked and Minato and Kushina began schooling their features and calming down while Minerva and Jupiter came over.

"The three of them were all sealed into you in some way; Kyubi was entirely sealed except for half of his chakra, Minato sealed part of his soul and chakra, and Kushina put some of her own soul and chakra into it as well. What we are doing, after negotiating with the Shinigami, is putting them entirely into the seal with them being able to talk and train with you in your mindscape and once you've learned all that they can teach you and give you their chakra, they will pass on and your power will increase accordingly as their chakra will become your own over time as each one is finished." Minerva stated and the four nodded before Jupiter spoke next.

"And before you get nervous about time, we are unlocking a bloodline that was dormant inside of your two clans for centuries and you have the complete version from having both clans and Kyubi's demonic chakra flowing through you. What it will do is it will stop you from aging once you reach 18 and you will be able to regrow limbs and other parts so long as your head isn't cut from your body, your heart isn't ripped out, or your body is destroyed entirely. It can also be given to any woman, or women, that you end up being with. The reason we are doing this is because it will take a long time before the rogue being is in the position where you can defeat her." Jupiter stated surprising the four individuals and Naruto frowned.

"But, if I'm gone a long time then won't that mean everyone in my home will age too?" He asked with confusion evident in his voice since if he was going to be gone a really long time then he didn't want to return home to nothing.

Jupiter shook his head, "No, each world has its own laws and rules such as your world having those three deities to regulate everything. Another example is each world has its own cycle of time; one world may be in its early stages barely even hitting 100 years while another may be hitting over 2000 even though the first world came into existence before the second one. The world we wish to send you to has time flowing at a faster rate than your world so while you may indeed be there for a long time to you and that world, it may not be more than a few years in your world. The exact count is very difficult to calculate and I don't think you care very much as long as you have the security that everything you know will not be gone when you return." Jupiter stated and Naruto nodded while sighing in relief at that, "Now if you are prepared, we can send you there." He stated and Naruto nodded as he stood straight.

"We wish you the best of luck child and know you may see us again during certain events that will help guide those that must be at certain places and times to ensure Juno, the Rogue entity, is destroyed entirely." Minerva stated and Naruto nodded before the area faded into white.

The Holy Lands: 1179 (10 years before the Third Crusade): Just outside the borders of the Fortress of Masyaf

Naruto groaned as he got up off the ground while finding himself someplace warm, lush (enough), and that he had some weird clothes in the form of boots, loose pants, a tunic of some kind, and a scarf like wrap that he could use to cover his head. As he adjusted to his surroundings, he began hearing sounds of combat and moved towards it before seeing an older man dressed in black robes holding a sword standing beside three younger men dressed in white versions of the older's outfit with some leather armor with two holding swords and one holding a large knife. The four were surrounded by about 15 other men wearing dark brown and red outfits with armor and curved swords out. The weird thing was, the four had a blue glow around them while the others had a red glow around, [Naru-chan, that glow is part of an eye ability Minerva and Jupiter gave you to help you get through this world easier. Blue is friendly, red is an enemy, gold is someone important like a target, and no glow means they are nothing to you or at least right now they aren't]. Kushina stated over their link while she and Minato sat in a little house in Naruto's mindscape next to a mountain with a large den for Kyubi.

Minato then chimed in, [Naruto, you should also know that they made it so you speak the native language and gave us material to help you learn more languages as you need them. Oh, and don't use any jutsu since we don't know if these people are staying as your allies or friends and may need to be eliminated later on so best to keep your aces hidden until otherwise necessary]. Naruto nodded before feeling for anything he still had on him and found he did have one kunai still and with that thought he leapt into the fray catching one of the armored people off guard and Naruto stabbed him in the neck before throwing the kunai into another's throat and taking the first one's sword. He took a shaky stance as the four were surprised at the skill and efficiency of one so young while the others were now upset that there was another threat to eliminate.

As one came at Naruto with his sword high, Naruto dodged the overhead attack before he put the sword in his hand into the attacker's chest and then pulled it out before grabbing the blade from the man he just killed and threw them both into two others. He then moved and took his kunai before ducking a swing from another attacker and stabbed his kunai into his foot before riding it up his leg cutting it open and causing him to die of blood loss. He then turned and threw it into the last attacker that was coming up behind the older man as he was distracted watching Naruto work while the three in white killed the rest of the attackers.

The older man gazed at the handy work of the young man before him and was indeed impressed. While he was a bit rough and lacking in his stance and fighting technique, he couldn't deny the boy had talent and skill that defied his age and stature. Sheathing his blade, the older man watched as the young man walked by and took his knife back before facing him, "I must say, that was an impressive display young man. What is your name?" The older man asked as the three others came over to ensure the boy didn't try anything on their master.

"Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze." Naruto stated with a light bow as his mother and father were telling him about his manners after the fight, "May I ask your name and why these men wanted you dead?" Naruto asked as he stood there with his kunai now tucked into the belt like sash around his waist.

The man bowed slightly back, "I am Al Mualim and they were after me to potentially destroy the Brotherhood of Assassins that I am the leader of as we fight to keep mankind free and ensure no one attempts to control the course of human history like our enemies the Templars wish to do." The now named Al Mualim stated as he hoped to make the boy interested and join their side. Naruto nodded thoughtfully, "May I inquire as to what you are doing out here alone young man?" Al Mualim asked and Naruto blinked before having a quick mental conversation with his now three tenants.

"My family was killed a few months ago and we trained to be skilled fighters and, if needed, killers, but I never completed that training due to me being in the early stages of it. So I've been wandering getting scraps or whatever I can to eat from doing work or stealing it while also training my body." Naruto stated and Al Mualim frowned and nodded as he could tell the boy was malnourished and was lucky he had any of his fitness that he did at the moment.

"I see, perhaps you would accompany me to the fortress we occupy and perhaps join us? We can give you food, shelter, training, and brothers to look out for you." Al Mualim offered and Naruto frowned before nodding and giving a light bow to show he was grateful before he walked with Al Mualim and the three others to the fortress of Masyaf while wondering just how much of a wild ride he got himself into and how long he would be in this world. Little did he know, he would NEVER be able to justifiably call Tsunade Grandma ever again.

Las Angeles: 2037 (858 years later)

An 18 year old looking Naruto stood atop Abstergo Industries dressed VERY differently than how he was when he arrived and it was only natural due to the times and the fact that he got his needed growth spurt, which he knew was from solely eating ramen growing up, and now stood at am impressive height of 6'8" with a lean muscular build like a professional runner. He now wore combat boots, dark blue pants with an array of pockets with a belt to match with many pouches with the buckle being the emblem of the Assassin Brotherhood and a pair of pistol holsters on it, a pair of holsters on his torso that connected to a holster on his back with a dark red muscle shirt underneath it, two gauntlet like black gloves over his hands with the wrists being bulged out slightly to accommodate his personal Hidden Blades, and a black form fitting hooded trench coat was over all of it with different seals inside of it and a crimson eagle spreading its wings on the back. His hair also was different in that it now reached his shoulders and looked just like his dad's, but he got a bit of his mother's in that the tips of his hair were all flaming red like her hair was. The only other noticeable difference was he had three scars down the right side of his face from a particularly brutal mission that went wrong.

As he stood there ready to leave, he thought back on his adventure throughout this world and the course he took to get here. After training for a decade under Al Mualim's teachings, he aided his best friend and first brother Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad on his mission to 'redeem' himself as Al Mualim put it and then helped Altaïr revolutionize the Brotherhood while Naruto ensured that he, meaning Naruto, never touched the Apple so he wouldn't drain the powers of it too soon as it was needed for someone else in the future. Then he followed Marco Polo for a while and helped set up the Turkish Assassin Guild, before moving on and helping to set up the Sanctuary in Italy for one Ezio Auditore da Firenze to find and unlock and then helped him in his different missions, went to China soon after, then to the Caribbean, the Americas, France, then England, and then all over the place before meeting one Lucy Stillman and then one Desmond Miles before ensuring that Desmond didn't die when Juno needed to be released. Speaking of which, "Come to say your goodbyes, Desmond?"

Naruto asked as he turned to see the man behind him only older than his last thoughts about him since it had been 25 years since Juno was released and 10 years since Juno took physical form and Naruto fought her before he then spent the last 10 years bringing the Templars down while saving the few who actually believed in their work and uniting them with the Assassins that were open to peace and the actual betterment of Humanity and turned them into the Freemen, "Just coming to give you a good send off, Mentor." Desmond stated as Shaun Hastings, Rebecca Crane, and Lucy Stillman came to him as well.

Naruto smiled at them and the addressment of him since after Altaïr died he was named as the Guardian Mentor, the Mentor that was not restricted to any one country or area and was to ensure the other Mentors were prepared for any new developments and trained any future Mentor candidates… just as he did with Ezio, "Thanks, though I trust you will ensure the others don't slack off and train the next generation… Mentor." He stated while smiling at Desmond nodding and holding Lucy comfortingly while she rubbed her slightly bulging stomach that held their third child as, contrary to popular belief, Lucy and Desmond were only 17 when they had that adventure of Desmond reliving Altaïr's memories and had only settled down and got together after Juno was killed. It was then that a shadow clone came and brought Naruto the two items he needed to finish his mission: the Papal Staff that was lost when Rodrigo Borgia attempted to open the Vault and the Apple of Eden that Connor Kenway dropped into the Atlantic while Naruto was in France.

"I still can't get used to that." Shaun stated and Rebecca giggled lightly before kissing his cheek as they were together too with Rebecca only just recently finding out she was pregnant as well. They weren't surprised as they were among the rare few Naruto actually informed about himself as his parents and tenant had told him he should connect with some people to keep from getting mad before said people passed on. His parents had passed on after about 30 years and Kyubi followed after his first century and Naruto had heeded their words and as such had trusted Altaïr, Ezio, and a few other Assassins he trained throughout the centuries.

"Nor do I expect you to, especially since such things shouldn't be possible until a LONG time from now." Naruto stated as his clone set the staff down with the apple on the upper part of it before saluting to Naruto and waving to the others before poofing away, "Well, this is where I say goodbye and good luck to you guys." Naruto stated as he shook their hands and gave them each a fatherly hug goodbye before he grabbed to staff and yellow lightning sparked down the apple and staff and then traveled his arm where it was absorbed into his body. The two items then disintegrated as their power was lost and the dark clouds gathered again as yellow lightning began to occur and Naruto waved goodbye with a smile before the yellow light enveloped him and he was gone. Desmond and the others smiled happy for him before they went to go meet up with the others as Naruto had taken over Abstergo and turned it into the main base for the Freemen after killing off all the employees who knew, helped, and approved of what the Templars were doing and kept the other employees.

In Between Worlds

Naruto arrived back in the in between area and found Minerva and Jupiter there, "Thank you Naruto, you have done this world a great service and we can never repay you for that. We shall now uphold our end of the bargain and send you back to your world now and we will uphold that additional agreement." Minerva stated and Jupiter nodded.

"I hope you can do for your world what you did for our old one and find peace and happiness. May your blade taste your enemies' blood." Jupiter stated using a term used by the Assassins at one point or another and Naruto nodded with a light bow of respect before light engulfed him again.

Elemental Countries

The gold light shot down in the Valley of the End and Naruto found himself in his world again and smiled as it felt good to be home. He paused as he thought that, home, what was his home since he doubted Konoha was better than it was and he certainly doubted that he wasn't marked as a Missing Nin now after all this. He sighed to himself before deciding to think on that later, he had some errands to do before he did any of that and the first stop was to Whirlpool and then he had to go to Wave country. Rotating his neck and joints and getting the satisfying pops from them, he took off at blinding speed.

Wave Country: A day later

It had only taken a few hours for Naruto to make it to his ancestral homeland and then another couple hours to get the items his mother told him were within, which was why he now sported some pauldrons that were shaped like a dragon and tiger head, grieves that had snakes coiled on them, bracers that had lion heads on them, and a chest piece that had an eagle on it that belonged to his great grandfather and had the Uzumaki Spiral shown proudly on them along with the animals. He also now had an even larger knowledge of sealing than he did before thanks to an unexpected benefit of having his parents and Kyubi share his mind: his mind processed and learned things four times faster due to them helping sort and organize information and his mind naturally adapted to it. Then add in some hundred or so clones and you get him learning everything in the vaults of Uzu in a matter of minutes.

Right now he was in Wave country while planning on going to the two graves of the first people outside of Konoha that he respected. The reason he was here was because in 1746, Naruto had asked Minerva and Saturn to let him speak to Zabuza about a few things. The swordsman had been shown Naruto's life, both in and out of their world, and gave his blessing for Naruto to use his sword and then asked for a favor from the three of them. Naruto was here to make good on that favor.

However, there was also a family that he wanted to see after so long and pulled his hood over his head before placing a mask he modeled after Ishak Pasha's armored mask and walked through Wave on his way to see a certain drunkard and his family.

At Tazuna's House

In said old drunk's home, Tsunami was doing the dishes peacefully while her mind drifted to a certain blonde boy that had saved their country five years ago and then the subsequent sadness upon learning from the female Hokage that he disappeared. Inari had locked himself in his room for a week crying his eyes out and Tsunami was no better as she had a crush on the boy after he saved her, helped her son, and then freed their country and him being cute and his never give up personality didn't hurt either. She had not done anything about it due to the age difference and that he seemed to be infatuated, to her bewilderment, with that pink haired girl that she swore cracked their windows with her voice. It wasn't like there were any other issues, her father didn't care since he respected the boy and Inari viewed Naruto as a big brother if not an almost father figure with how they interacted. She wished that she hadn't been scared in telling him as she wanted to be with him now.

Her thoughts were broken as she heard a knock at the door and she stopped the dishes to go see who it was. When she opened the door, she was surprised and confused to see a tall man with a dark outfit and a smile on his face, what she could see of it, "Yes, can I help you?" She asked as she didn't feel any malicious intent from the man and he seemed familiar to her for some reason.

"It's been a while, Tsunami-chan." Naruto stated as he pulled his hood back and Tsunami gasped at seeing a now older Naruto.

"Naruto-kun!" She shouted happily before embracing him in a hug and Naruto chuckled slightly before returning the hug and Tsunami blushed at the feel of his muscles under his clothing and the feel of his strong arms around her. She then blushed brighter when Naruto kissed her forehead and stepped back.

"It's hard to believe, but I think you are even more beautiful than last time I saw you." He stated and she blushed brighter and it only got worse when he kissed her hand.

"Thank you Naruto-kun, please come in and sit." She stated as she practically dragged him inside and he chuckled knowing it was pointless to struggle and sat at the table as Tsunami got tea and sat across from him, "Where have you been for the past five years Naruto-kun?" She asked and Naruto took a sip of the tea while mentally sighing in relief that it had only been five years since he left.

Naruto sighed as he stared at his tea for a minute, "A long ways off training, though I didn't willingly go, but I had to go nonetheless. I've seen things, learned things, and done things that many wouldn't believe if I told them. I've done more in my time away than most people do in 50 lifetimes." He stated as he took a drink of the tea and Tsunami decided to drop it as she could see pain in Naruto's eyes that she had seen in her own and Inari's when Kaiza died and when the country began to turn for the worst.

"Naruto-kun, what happened to you while you were gone?" She thought worriedly before smiling slightly, "I understand Naruto-kun, if you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here." She stated and Naruto smiled slightly, but, before he could respond, the door opened and in walked Inari and Tazuna.

"Kaasan! We're back." Inari stated before he saw the man at the table and was confused before he noticed the features of wild blonde hair, deep pure blue eyes, and the whisker marks and his eyes widened before he lunged at the individual, who had the wisdom to stand and move to an open spot, "NARUTO-NIISAN!" Inari shouted as he hugged the older taller boy and Naruto chuckled and returned the hug while Tazuna was surprised at the appearance of the boy.

"Hehe, good to see you too Inari, but what's up? You're shorter than last time." Naruto stated with a grin while Inari pouted slightly with Tsunami giggled slightly.

"I'm not shorter Niisan, you're just taller." Inari stated before grinning and hugging Naruto again, though he wondered if his mom had told Naruto that she had a crush on him yet. He didn't mind if she did pursue a relationship with him since Naruto was awesome and would make her happy and wouldn't do a thing to hurt her.

"Damn kid, do you know the trouble you caused with that disappearing act you pulled?" Tazuna stated as he had the same feelings about Naruto being with Tsunami as Inari did and with the recent growth spurt the kid… no… that this man had, then there wouldn't be much problem.

Naruto nodded figuring that since Suna, Wave, Spring, and Waterfall were only allied with Konoha because of him; Tsunade was only Hokage because of him; and Neji was only friendly with the main branch again because of him, "I guessed that, but it's doubtful many back in Konoha cared that I was gone." Naruto stated sadly since he knew of only 7 people that he knew for sure would miss him while the other three frowned slightly before Tazuna decided to change the topic.

"So kid, if I can even call you that anymore, what brings you here?" He asked with Tsunami and Inari perking up and nodding as they wondered that too.

Naruto smiled with a sigh, "Right now, I'm just going to stay here in Wave for a while until I can figure out what to do after I take care of some business. That reminds me, do you have a shovel?" He asked and the three all looked confused and curious.

A few miles from the house: 20 minutes later

Naruto stood before the graves of Zabuza and Haku with the shovel he borrowed from Tazuna sitting in a mound of dirt that he had removed and showed him the body of Haku still appearing like she did years ago with the gaping hole in her chest still. Naruto moved and stood over her body before he held his hand out and a spectral Apple of Eden formed in his hand before he pressed it into Haku's body, "Awaken Haku-chan, join the living once more." He stated before she gasped as life flooded her again and she aged a few years before she began panicking before Naruto held her to him and she kept squirming, "It's alright Haku-chan, it's me: Naruto." He stated and she looked up at him and widened her eyes before she calmed down if only slightly.

"Wha-what happened, Naruto-kun?" She asked while blushing at how handsome he looked now and the feel of his muscles under his clothes and Naruto sighed before he sat down with her in his lap and she blushed harder and even more when he started stroking her hair.

"Haku-chan, after you took the hit from Kakashi, Gatō betrayed you and Zabuza and in a rage Zabuza rushed in and began killing the mercenaries between him and Gatō before he then killed Gatō and died from his wounds." He stated and felt Haku stiffen and begin crying into his chest, "Nearly a year later, I got sent on a wild mission from some other parties and they actually made it so I could talk with Zabuza and offered him a chance to live again, he instead wanted me to take up his sword and bring you back Haku-chan. He considered you a daughter." Naruto continued and Haku widened her eyes in shock before she held Naruto tighter and began crying again while Naruto just stroked her back and whispered sweet words into her ear.

After a few minutes, she calmed down and looked up at him hopefully, "Naruto-kun, please accept me, I-I want to be your tool and soldier. I'll obey you and do whatever you want, but please don't leave or abandon me." She asked/begged as she held him closer to her as she couldn't think of anyone else that she would want to serve and Zabuza having Naruto take up his sword just made him the best choice even more. Naruto held her and rubbed her back while comforting her.

"I'll keep you safe Haku-chan; I'll protect you and care about you." He stated and she cried harder as she continued to hug him and he held and comforted her. Naruto knew she had feelings for him beyond that of a friend or master as his mother had helped him hone his Uzumaki sensor abilities and also knew that Tsunami did as well and knew he'd have to talk to them about certain things if they wanted a relationship.

2 weeks later: Tazuna's House

Naruto groggily opened his eyes to feeling a weight on his chest and saw Haku there looking peaceful and content and noticed Tsunami was not there with them. They had begun sleeping together, the non-sex kind, the day he came back with Haku and explained to them that he used some skills he picked up while gone to bring her back but he couldn't do so for Kaiza unfortunately as he was dead too long. Afterwards, he pulled Tsunami and Haku aside and told them that while he wouldn't mind being a relationship with either of them, he was supposed to rebuild his clans at some point if for no other reason than to make good on a promise he made his mother that he'd give her lots of grandkids. The two had blushed as red as a tomato when he mentioned that and received a kiss to the cheek each and he told them to consider it. That night he was dragged to the room and told that he was sleeping in there with them from now on and he didn't complain though he made sure that he kept a long sleeved shirt and pants on for reasons he wouldn't tell them but mentioned that he would later.

Anyway, after that he began training Haku in weapons, Taijutsu, and Water, Wind, and Ice manipulation due to him having plenty of time during his centuries of life and thus was able to utilize some information Kyubi had on how to access and make the sub-elements through trial and error so he was very skilled/a master in Ice manipulation and helped Haku with some Jutsu he had created and the jutsu his parents and Kyubi were aware of. He also began teaching Inari some shinobi training exercises such as Taijutsu exercises, weapons, and even helping him begin unlocking his chakra.

On another note, he talked with Tazuna and the other prominent figures of Wave, counting the Daimyo, and actually turned the entire country into his own spy network as everyone would give any noteworthy information to Tazuna, Tsunami, or Inari if Naruto was not around and then they would keep track of it all to tell him when they could and since Wave became such a massive trade hub over the years, due in part to the people that were Naruto's allies paying specific attention to Wave for trade and such, it would be a bustling place for information to be gained. This was the main reason Naruto had clones build a bird coop outside of Tazuna's house as he had actually made his own contract with some eagles, hawks, pigeons, and falcons that he caught, trained, and raised over the centuries and they were trained to go from any location he marked to any other location he specified without fail.

Anyway, he kissed Haku's forehead and she shifted slightly before he smirked and kissed her full on her lips causing her to moan slightly before he felt her return the kiss. Naruto smirked slightly and brushed his tongue across her lips before he felt them part and began exploring her mouth with his tongue. After about a minute, he pulled back and saw her open her brown eyes at him, "Good morning gorgeous." Naruto stated with a smile while Haku blushed and gave him a peck on the lips.

"Good morning handsome, thank you for the wakeup call." She sated before she got up and stretched giving Naruto a perfect view of her athletic body, D-DD cup breasts, and her firm toned ass as both she and Tsunami had been sleeping in their underwear after the first week. Haku knew he was looking and loved the fact he would look at her and Tsunami both respectfully and lustfully but would always look at their faces when they spoke and never made an advance on them if he wasn't going to do the same to the other, "So what is the plan for today?" She asked while making sure to give her master, as she was his tool and he was her teacher, a teasing look at her thong covered rear end when she 'conveniently' had to bend over to grab something.

Naruto smirked at the sight, he found it arousing for sure, but since he had been around more… professional women in the art of seduction during his time in Constantinople and Italy since courtesans were one of their key groups for information and potential assassination, he wasn't hot and bothered like other males would be, "Working on your speed and finding you a suitable weapon finally." He stated as he got up and dressed for the day while ensuring he wasn't without clothing in front of Haku… yet. With a quick kiss to the cheek, Haku watched Naruto leave the room and wondered what happened that he took such care not to let anyone see him under his clothes. The only parts they had ever seen were his hands, which had a scar on his ring finger on his left hand; his face, which had the three scars on them; and his feet, which also had marks on the bottoms of them. It was just strange to her as he had told them that he was Jinchuriki to the Kyubi so why did he have scars if the chakra healed the wounds quickly? Shaking her head from those thoughts, as she trusted Naruto would tell them when he was ready, she dressed and got ready for the day.

Downstairs, Tsunami was busy making breakfast with a smile on her face before she stiffened at feeling someone groping her ass and kissing her neck. She moaned slightly knowing it was Naruto before she turned and pulled him into a searing kiss that nearly made her melt into his other arm as it circled her waist. After a minute or so, he pulled back and she leaned back against his chest, "Good morning Tsunami-chan." Naruto stated and she smiled before kissing his cheek and he let her go back to cooking before Haku came down and sat beside Naruto.

When Tsunami was done cooking, she placed the food on the table when Inari came bolting into the house, "NIISAN! Trouble!" He shouted causing Naruto to pay attention to him.

"What happened?" He asked as Inari panted to catch his breath as he ran all the way from Tazuna's newest construction project, which Naruto had commissioned and paid for to better protect the country, to tell Naruto something.

"The *pant* Kazekage *pant pant* of Suna was kidnapped!" He stated causing Naruto widen his eyes, but Naruto was able to see there was more and Inari took another moment to catch his breath, "The Kazekage is that friend of yours that you told us about, Gaara." Inari stated and Naruto widened his eyes before growling.

"Do you know who it was?" He asked as his knuckles popped audibly from him slowly making a fist and Inari took a moment before answering.

"Some guys in black cloaks with red clouds and straw hats with bells." Inari stated and Naruto growled a bit more.

"Akatsuki. Haku! Get your gear together; we're going to help him." He ordered and Haku was gone in a flash to their room to get everything she needed while Naruto kissed Tsunami on the cheek and patted Inari on the head before he walked out while hearing Tsunami give a 'stay safe' that he nodded towards before Haku was next to Naruto instantly. Naruto grabbed her waist before they vanished in a burst of speed.

Just inside the border of Wind Country: 3 hours later

The two Akatsuki members, Deidara of Iwa and Sasori of Suna, were walking along while Deidara's clay construct was carrying Gaara's unconscious form as the two argued over their views on art, "Sasori, you have no sense of beauty. The only real art is that of an explosion." Deidara stated before he ducked the tail attached to Sasori that struck out at him.

"Shut up Deidara and keep moving. You know how much I hate to keep people waiting, almost as much as I hate to be kept waiting." He stated and, before Deidara could respond, there was a loud BANG and Deidara screamed as something pierced through his right hand and the two jumped away as ice needles rained down on them.

Deidara cursed as he looked at his hand and saw a hole through it that cut the tongue in his hand's mouth off making it impossible for him to use his clay in that hand and, on top of that, his construct was destroyed by the needles, which coincidently missed Gaara entirely. However, his thoughts were broken as his danger senses went off and he leapt to the side just in time to dodge a mortal strike from an axe head on a pole, but his right arm wasn't so lucky and was cleaved clean off.

He growled as he held his now stump of an arm as he saw a figured armored and wearing a hood and mask to hide his, as the build suggested a he, face and hair and the figure stood there at the ready while Deidara kept the snarl on his face even if on the inside he was smirking as Sasori was getting ready to attack from behind. However, the figure grabbed something and threw it over his shoulder before it smashed into Sasori creating a large explosion that kicked up a ton of dust/sand and Deidara readied himself for anything as he couldn't see anything. Then there was another loud BANG and Deidara felt something wet going down his front and looked to see a decent sized hole in his chest and coughed up some blood before he fell to his knees only to feel someone behind him before he felt a blade pierce his neck, "Go once more into the breach and find the beauty you so desired to create. Requiescat in Pace." He heard the figure state before his life faded and Naruto removed his head and sealed it away.

Naruto then activated his personal version of what Altaïr called Eagle Vision, which Naruto called the Washigan (Eagle Eye), that was a hybrid of all the other versions that he encountered by aiding the other assassins. He could see targets, mark them to see them through buildings and objects, see routes and latent tracks or past images of someone moving, he could send the pulse out to see everything/one around him, and had a few other tricks up his sleeves with it from having eight centuries to use and develop it and the best part was that it didn't take any chakra to use it. So, naturally, he was able to dodge the surprise attack committed by Sasori, which were some blades that were built into his arms.

Naruto retaliated by mule kicking him back a good deal where he was rained on by ice needles, but he released two large bladed fans/propellers from his back that spun and blocked the needles. But said needles were only a distraction as Naruto's eyes let him see that the only real part of Sasori was the small cylinder item in his left shoulder and Naruto took his specialized rifle, which had the appearance of a Winchester rifle but had a modern grip, shotgun barrel, and an array of seals over it to take and put different additions on it, and put a bullet covered in lightning chakra right through it.

Sasori froze in place as he felt pain for the first time in decades before he felt what little bit of life liquid he had left begin leaving his 'heart' and couldn't move due to the lightning locking the mechanisms inside him before Naruto put another round through it covered in fire chakra and felt the fire begin eating away the cylinder. Sasori was fighting to move or do anything, but his attempts were for nothing as the loudest BANG echoed out and he felt the entire cylinder be destroyed as Naruto fired a slug covered in wind chakra.

Sasori fell over dead before the dust settled down again and Naruto returned his rifle to a seal and moved next to Gaara and found he was still alive and well before he began waking him up and Haku came next to them. Gaara groaned slightly as he awoke to someone shaking him slightly and he could hear Shukaku telling him he was lucky that his friend was here to save his ass. When Gaara heard that, he opened his eyes slightly and saw a masked and hooded figure there but the eyes made him remember his 'brother' figure that disappeared five years ago, "Good to see you haven't been slacking off, Gaara." Naruto stated and that sealed it for Gaara as he knew who was in front of him by his voice and eyes.

"Na-Naruto?" He asked in shock and the figure chuckled before removing his hood and mask showing Naruto only older and slightly scarred. Gaara was in shock while Naruto grinned slightly.

"Yeah, it's me. I'm glad that you decided to become the Kazekage and earn everyone's respect." He stated before he helped Gaara stand and the two shook hands before they embraced as brothers, "It's good to see you brother." Naruto stated and Gaara nodded.

"It's good to see you too; I don't suppose you could tell me what has happened since you've been gone?" Gaara asked as he wondered what had happened to his brother figure and what could have caused the scars since the Kyubi should have healed him… wait, Gaara couldn't sense the Kyubi within Naruto as he could before but didn't know what it meant when they first met, "You no longer contain the Kyubi?" He asked and Naruto smiled and shook his head shocking Gaara and Haku.

"No, I haven't for a long time and I wouldn't mind telling you at some point, but with the ninja heading this direction from Suna, I would assume that we are going to have company soon and there are some people who don't need to know about my time away." He stated, while giving a look to Haku stating she could be there, as he placed the mask back on his face and pulled his hood up and gave another look to Haku, who was in a battle kimono that was a deep blue with black designs of dragons and phoenixes on it and had a mask modeled like Naruto's on her face with her hair done up in a ponytail, and she nodded before she moved and he did a fire jutsu on Deidara's body and sealed the puppet body of Sasori into a scroll and stood by Gaara just as three, and a partial, teams from Konoha and a battalion from Suna came and landed around them and could tell they were confused about what happened, "It seems that your so called rescue has come a bit late, eh Gaara?" Naruto stated with Haku giggling slightly and Gaara cracking a smile.

"It would seem so, my friend." Gaara stated surprising the arrivals since Gaara hardly called anyone his friend, "Stand down all of you, they saved me from the Akatsuki and I will not have anyone attacking them." Gaara ordered and the Suna nin stood down with the Konoha ones doing so a minute or so later, "Please, I would love to catch up with you in Suna." Gaara offered and Naruto stood there a moment before nodding while Kankurō spoke up.

"Gaara, are you sure you can trust him? And what happened to the two Akatsuki members?" He asked and Gaara looked to his brother before looking to Naruto who held up a scroll in his hand and pointed to the little bit of ash and the remnants of the puppet that Sasori was in when Naruto threw the bomb at him, "You mean he took them both down?!" He asked in shock while everyone else widened their eyes in shock and surprise, while a certain banshee had her eyes narrowed on Haku as she felt she recognized her from somewhere.

Gaara nodded, "Yes, and as for how I know I can trust him, he is a very good friend of mine and someone I would call brother." He stated while most were surprised and a few were shocked since they knew of only one person Gaara would call brother, "I think you should introduce yourself as it would allow us to talk face to face on the way back to Suna." Gaara stated and Naruto chuckled slightly.

"Very well Gaara." Naruto stated as he pulled his hood back and then removed his mask nearly giving everyone a heart attack as he looked like his father, while almost every girl/woman there had blushes on their faces, "My name is Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze and I am an Assassin." Naruto stated as everyone's shock grew and Naruto knew this was going to be a long day and probably even more than that once word got back to Tsunade.

Done! Well that's the first chapter and I hoped you all enjoyed it. Like I said, we'll cover Naruto's time in the Assassin's Creed world over time and not all at once… though in the next 2-3 chapters there may be a chapter where he just tells everything to someone, whether Gaara or Tsunade or maybe both, but I'm not sure which, both for when and who, and yes he will tell Haku and the other girls/women he is going to be paired with.

Anyway, yes Naruto will show off more weapons and skills as he goes and most noticeably will be sometime within the next two-three chapters as I have something planned for Naruto to "show his skills" to everyone and it will give some good fights and show which of the Genin, as Naruto remembers them, will be bashed. And yes, he will show off more of the Piece of Eden (PE) powers that he got and Zabuza's sword which will be altered from the norm to adapt to Naruto's new fighting style.

So, with 8 centuries under his belt and being trained by his parents, the Assassins, and Kyubi while also having powers from the Pieces of Eden, I assume you see why I stated it was a believable and realistic OP Naruto that can't be matched in combat easily.

Anyway, like I said above, you can give your opinions for girls/women for Naruto, but NO HINATA, and you need to give actual reasons for them.

Also, the reason for the shinobi getting to Naruto and them so quickly, the reactions, and some other things will be done next chapter.

Lastly, like I said above, if the Eagle Eye name is wrong, then please let me know.

Well, that should be it, please review, and I'll see you next time.
