Young Justice: Kage

Chapter 3: Schooled

Canary is in civilian clothes. Naruto is walking next to her in civilian clothes as well. The two stop outside a bank. Opening the doors, she gestures for him to enter. He enters into the bank. Ocean blue eyes immediately scan the entire area locating the exits, the number of guards, and the fastest route to escaping should a fight break out. "There is no need to be so tense. This is a simple formality," smiles Canary.

"Tense?" Naruto glances at the woman. Amusement appears in his eyes. He gestures for Canary to lead the way not saying anything more. Canary realizes how silly she must have sounded. That is like telling Superman to be careful around a gun. As crazy as it may seem, the most dangerous person in the bank at the moment is the child. She heard about the mission to Santa Prisca. Naruto single-handedly took down thirty Cobra fanatic followers, Cobra, Sportsmaster, and a genetically enhanced human with incredible super strength and speed. He did this all without taking a single injury. It was a scary thought to think that a child managed to accomplish such a feat on his own. Naruto's abilities have drawn the attention of the entire League.

'It is not just the League,' thinks Canary. She walks up to the bank teller. "I am here to help my son open an account. His name is Uzumaki Naruto."

Her words made Naruto give a sideways glance. 'Son?' Naruto knew that parents and children usually always shared looks and features. It was a believable lie.

The bank teller smiles. "I shall get the paperwork ready." Naruto barely pays attention choosing to go over various mental simulations in his head. There are a couple of new jutsu that he has been wanting to work on.

While waiting for the paperwork Canary returns to her original thoughts. Cobra may be a fanatical who believes himself to be a god, but the man is extremely dangerous. A day after being captured and placed in Arkham Asylum there was a huge bounty placed on the person responsible for the capture of Cobra. Naruto's identity is unknown to Cobra but the bounty on his head is for 5 million dollars. Batman is working overtime to make sure that Naruto's identity remains a secret. Canary was glad that Naruto had a code name and wore a mask. She already knows that he is the type of person who will walk around in broad daylight even with a bounty on his head.

"Is there something you wish to tell me?"

"No, I have a lot on my mind is all."

Naruto speaks calmly. "Batman told you already about my profession." Canary nods. "Then you should know that lying to me is pointless. Even half-truths will not work." Ocean blue eyes stare deep into her light blue. "I grew up in a world filled with deception. If you want to lie that is fine, but do a better job at it."

Mount Justice, August 3

"Recognized B06, Kage"

In a flash of light, Naruto appears in the cave. That was faster than he thought. Canary had helped him set up a bank account and the League transferred seven hundred dollars into the account. Well, 83,320.53 yen which equates to 760.72 US dollars. 83,320.53 yen will be transferred to his bank account each month with 59,000 yen extra for every mission he completes. A lot smaller compared to the money he used to make as a missing ninja, but it is a start. He used half the money to purchase a new set of kunai and shuriken before returning to base. There is this great blacksmith store that he found a month ago. He makes top-quality weapons. Real weapons not ones for show. He decided to start using his sword it was made of a special material his clan found and it can channel Kyubi chakra. He doesn't use the sword as often as he should but decides that it's a new world so new him. Swords are very useful weapons that he learned to use on his own. It provides him with extra reach and allows him a quick way to use fatal blows to his enemies. Aqualad and Robin use weapons so his use of a sword shouldn't be a problem.
