Naruto/Assassin's Creed fic musings

So I’ve been reading though esame’s fics on Ao3 (re-reading in a lot of cases) which I highly recommend. But you know where you read a fic from one fandom & then you read a fic from another fandom & suddenly you want a crossover. They’ve done a lot of crossovers, which I’ve been enjoying, but they haven’t done this one. Maybe because, like me, they can’t think of anything resembling a plot.

I’m talking about an Assassin's Creed/Naruto crossover.

I mean Assassins = Shinobi is pretty obvious and the eagle vision an being a dōjutsu and the whole genetic memory could be a kekkei genkai or something. But I don’t know where you’d go from there.

I mean you could have a fusion but if it was more set in the Assassin's Creed world you’d probably have to get rid of the flashy Jutsus to keep the tone. Setting it more in the Naruto world could be fun, having all the assassins running around but, again, what on earth would the plot be?

Of course, you could always have just a straight up crossover with the whole “of course Desmond’s not dead he just got transported to another universe with the eye” thing, which is an easy way to set up a crossover.

If that was the case I’d think that, unless you use some precursor BS to handwave it, then he wouldn’t have chakra. Or at least very little. After all ninjas get trained from pretty young to use theirs. So even if he does manage to get training he probably wouldn’t be able to do any of the really flashy stuff. And he might have trouble getting the hang of hand seals.
But I think he could still be pretty badass (I mean Rock Lee can do it).

I’m pretty sure eagle vision can’t be fooled by clones or kawarimi techniques and that. And I think being registered as only a civilian would make it easier to act like an actual assassin so more sneaky then to anime protagonist type stuff then happens in the show.

I just have the idea of someone thinking of him as ‘having the chakra reserves of a genin but moves like an ANBU’ or something.

Meh, it’s just vague idea I was musing on. Like I said, it’s kind of going nowhere.

And then, because I still had the template I made for ANBU masks so I messed around made this.

ANBU masks

Messing about in Photoshop again.
An idle though after reading some Naruto fic; what would various YouTubers masks would be if they were in ANBU. (the masks are a bit more based on the hunter nins then the main ANBU forces but whatever)

I Kind of had the idea that their dark Egos where like their ANBU aliases and they'd have have some sort of low level genjutsuor something to give them an aura that helps hid there identity further. Like Anti would be glitchy & Dark would have his 2-tones thing and Mare would have mist/fog. I kind of ran out of ideas for Blank & Mad, maybe some sort of bluing effect for Blank & IDK fire or something for Mad. The idea was it should be more of a sort of outline type of thing that would also help in a fight by making it just that bit harder to see were the person actually was.
Maybe it was done by a seal on the masks so they don't waist chakra in a fight.
