Broken 2 –

In one of the government buildings Naruto was busy at work cleaning out the trashcans. He's pushing a cart filled with the trash that has built up in the building. The trash is to be dump into the furnace where it's burn to help keep the building heated. The trash collection has been changed after the rat plague that happen years ago. (1) Metals and glass are to be sent to the refineries where they're melted down to make new metal or glass. Paper and cardboard are clean are to be given the same treatment. Foodstuff are to be used as animal feed or fertilizer. And the rest to be burn so that the rats won't be able to feed upon them or that the trash and filth would build up like it did before the plague hit.

In the sewers underneath the city the rats that cause the plague are still around even after much effort was taken to kill them off. One of the newer ways to combat the rats is by introducing the Mudcrabs into the sewers. Bigger and stronger then the rats the crabs have taken much of the grounds that the rats use to live in. The sewer workers prefer dealing with the rat size slow moving crabs then the rats. Unlike the rats they don't crew on everything that the rats do, which cause much damage to pipes and wires. They also don't spread plague and they also feed upon the waste of the sewer that leaves little for the rats to eat.

Naruto wondered about how soon the Leaf ninjas would be coming for him. Jiraiya left to head back to the village, which would take him a couple of months to do it. Naruto already figured out that Jiraiya would had come alone just incase it was a wild goose chase. They wouldn't send a whole ninja team to get him without first making sure he's there. And given how far it is to the Element Countries the Leaf wouldn't waste having several ninjas away for that long without knowing if their target is there or not. Especially because just about every non-domesticated animal that are found around here can easily kill you. And from what he has read about the Pandyssian Continent it's even worse with even more hostile wildlife.

He read the publish log of a man name Sokolov about an expedition to the continent. Apparently, there are schools of quite literal flying fish that attack and poison anything they can touch, winds strong enough to throw people off the deck, massive flying serpents, rats that can eat people alive, and prairie moles that can poison people. In addition to that, there is potentially magical whale-song that drives people mad, and at least one person who was found dead from nothing identifiable, but with a look of absolute terror on his face. Less than half the crew survived the crossing. And apparently that was one of the better expeditions. (2) Made him wonder if he should leave a paper trail that would make the ninja think he left on an expedition to that place.

"After you dump that trash go and grab some oil tanks for the power room," one of the many clerks that run the government office said to him as he walks by with arms full of paper.

"Right," Naruto said as he headed to the supply room.

The government building Naruto works at is the building that maintains the barrier that keeps the Rubshore Financial District from flooding like it did during the plague years. After years of rebuilding the district has been rebuilt like it use to be before it was flooded. The building besides the guards there are also several Arc Pylons around that depending on their setting would either kill anyone within range that they have not been configured to recognize. The building also has Watcheyes that are based on the Watchtowers that were used in the pass but are much smaller. The Watcheyes will sound the alarm if someone anyone that it doesn't recognize enters it's sights. Also some in off limit areas are armed with mounted guns. The ninjas are good but they never had to deal with advance technology that would detect them, as mind jutsus wouldn't work on non living things.

Naruto stop his cart at the trash shoots each for the different types of trash he has collected, and dumps them in the right ones. Then he wheels his cart to the supply room to get the new tank. Unlike the tanks of the old days, they have been redesigned so it won't be as easy to make one explode if thrown or drop. Because his body isn't strong he needed his cart to transport the heavy tanks.

After much effort in lifting the tanks, he managed to get the tanks into the cart. Then he started walking to the power room for this floor. The city does have a power grid that is powered by several dams that help control the river the runs through the city but some of the equipment still runs on whale oil. The security systems and backup power all run on the whale oil incase the power fails.

Walking pass the guard room, Naruto reach the power room. Knocking on the door the guard inside let him inside. Inside the room is a large power box containing the whale oil tanks that powers the security of the room. Also in the room is a spare driving suit that the workers sometimes have to use to fix one of the pipes that are underwater, as the building is next to the river. A stairwell lead down into the basement that connected to the river port. (3)

"Here, I get that," the guard said seeing that Naruto has arm and leg braces on.

"Thanks," Naruto said helping the guard to unload the cart and reload them with the empties.

"Take care," the guard said letting Naruto out.

The power room is always staffed by at least one guard inside the lock room that can be sealed shut if needed. All the government buildings have shutters on all openings to prevent anyone from escaping. There is a override for it but it only actives if a fire happens while the building is on lock down.

Once Naruto reached the supply room he emptied his cart, putting the empty tanks into the slot on the wall. The tanks would end up in the empty rail cart at the bottom, where they would be pick up by some workers. The empties would be replaced with full ones on the same day that the empties ones were picked up.

Naruto had just finish dropping the last tank into the slot when he suddenly noticed that everything seemed off. Then he realized what had happen someone is using a jutsu to mind trick him. He could see how everything is becoming waving around him. Has to be Leaf ninjas who came to get him.

"No it's not them," a male voice said as a strange man appeared in front of Naruto. The Strange Man dresses in a black three-piece suit with a black tie and black top hat

"Are you a ninja to bring me back?" Naruto ask in a calm voice knowing that he'll never be able to fight off a ninja, not with his cripple body.

"I'm beyond that or anything else you have ever encounter. I am the Outsider and I have come to see you as you are interesting," the man answers in a calm but commanding voice.

"I heard of you," Naruto said as the strange cult that is centered around the Outsider and that magic users are still around to prove that he's real.

"Many have or have seen my work one way or another. For the beast that once was sealed inside of you was created by the sage that, I gave power to. He was very interesting and managed to defeat that spirit that was interesting. Even created the way of the ninja when he showed others how to use chakra. All interesting but few ever see me," the Outsider explains.

"You're the one who gave the sage his power?" Naruto ask shock but after learning about the Outsider in the books he has read. The Outsider is really that powerful but just chooses to watch.

"I have come to you because you're interesting. The ninjas of your old home will come for you. You will either bring a new age or end it. I have decided to bestow you my power. To make things more interesting," the Outsider said.

"There's no need," Naruto said putting a hand up in front of him.

"Most people would welcome my power," the Outsider said showing no signs of shock.

"If, I take you power the ninjas will think, I still have power. When they bring me back to the village. I would show them what they have done to me. A broken shell with no hope of ever being a ninja because of my body and the fact, I simply don't care to be one. I want them to put all their effort into making me into a ninja only to see all their efforts to fail. Because, I don't have the strength or the will to become a ninja. I want them to feel the guilt and shame that the son of the hero of their village, has been reduced to a sad state because of what they did. Gaining your powers wouldn't allow me to enjoy that," Naruto explains.

"You are going to be interesting to watch," the Outsider said as he disappeared returning everything back to normal.

'Best to get ready,' Naruto thought to himself. He has much to do before the ninjas come to take him away.

Author's Notes -

1 – The events of the game in Dishonored happen about 30 years ago before Naruto was born. So the technology has been advanced in that time. So the weapons and equipment that are in the game are much more advance then they were 30 years ago. Jutsus won't work on the machines that can spot people, as they don't have chakra or minds that can be fooled. Also the Overseer Music Boxes that prevent magic from being use, also prevents chakra from being used as well. Which means if a tail demon is surrounded by the music boxes they'll be brought down to normal giant animals that bullets can kill.

I have explained why the ninjas won't be able to just stream roll through the soldiers of Dunwall as once they lose their chakra and can't move around at their ninja speed that they're use to. The people of the Isles had to deal with magic users and animals right out of Lovecraft and that The Outsider is a god like being who likes to give people power just because it's interesting. So dealing with ninjas would just be another day for them. Like a crossover with either Marvel or DC where the ninjas with all their powers wouldn't really stand out or be that powerful compared to what people are use to dealing with. And that the Isles already have ninja like Assassins who use magic, so the soldiers are use to dealing with people like ninjas. And for people who say no, the reason why in the game the guards aren't that good, is because they're dealing with the plague at the time, along with Weepers who have blood coming out of their eyes and hordes of rats that will eat them alive. Which allowed the hero to safely sneak around as their forces are spread too thin and worn out from trying to maintain order, to be able to handle the hero as they would if there wasn't a city wide plague to deal with.

2 - The people on the western half of the continent are much tougher then on the eastern half because they had to with them living in a death world.

3 - The driving suit is like the Alpha Series of Big Daddies from Bioshock.

Also remember I don't write fics where plot armor, rule of cool and drama saving plots work. If a ninja is shot in the head no matter who it is, they will either be dead or be brain damaged. And that all my fics in dealing with Naruto, he will never just forgive the village for all it has done to him. Often he will just turn his back to them or just use them till he no longer needs them. So anyone like that reviewer who got into a flame war with me with Roman Fox because he didn't like how, I was writing my fic and that he only stuck around because he had thought, I would write a fic where Naruto would just like in so many other fics forgive everyone and would never turn his back to them. This isn't that kind of fic.
