AVPRN1: Evil Discovered

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, Alien, or Predator. I would like to, though.

A.N. Yup, Beansmoker has returned, his muse, restored! Its time for these ninja to get a real challenge, I decided. Its time for them to fight something, really tough! Some aliens, maybe? Maybe even some, predators… Worst idea ever? Some might think so. But I believe it to be, a stroke of genius.

The door was heavy, dragging through the layers of dust on the ground as the Hokage slowly slid it open. He coughed as a blast of black air burst from the chamber before him, released by this action.

"Orochimaru's lair has not been used in a while, I see." the Hokage muttered, before trudging into the dark room in front of him. He lit a torch before continuing his advance, marching into a back room, and navigating a maze of darkened hallways that lied beyond. He observed the corpses of fallen ninja, who had become lost in this passageway before him, but remained confident. In the days since Orochimaru abandoned this place, Leaf scouts had already been sent to map out every corridor. The Hokage would not have to worry about being plagued by traps either, they had been disarmed.

After a great deal of walking the Hokage reached his destination. "Finally, I have made it. I have already laid Jiraiya and Tsunade to rest, and I have learned every thing there is to know about their past adventures and discoveries. It is only fair that I pay Orochimaru the same respect." Orochimaru was a sannin, same as Jiraiya and Tsunade, and Naruto knew what was right. He would settle all of the snake-sannin's affairs, just like he did with Tsunade and Jiraiya, and in order to do that he had to explore every one of his abandoned lairs.

Naruto passed into the only room in the Oro's lair that he had previously deemed unsafe for his scouts to explore. The room was heavily, heavily trapped. So much so that only a certain type of ninja could even hope to traverse it unscathed. Fortunately, the Hokage was that type.

Fearless, Naruto performed a brief handseal string, before dashing forward. "Body Flicker Jutsu!" As soon as his foot touched the ground, the first trap activated, flinging thousands of kunai from the walls, in what seemed to be all directions. Removing two kunai from his pouch, Naruto deflected these with amazing speed, while dodging those that he couldn't. Even so, his advance continued. Poison gas was next, bursting from the ground and forcing Naruto into the air. He jumped to the ceiling and kept advancing, not phased in the least. Finally, the explosion came, and only a last ditch effort by Naruto saved his life. He threw his kunai towards his final destination, "Substitution Jutsu!"

Blood trickling from fresh wounds throughout his body, Naruto took the final steps into the last unexplored area of the room. Here Naruto discovered something that he did not expect. "What in the hell?" he said, as he studied his new environment. What lied before him was an enormous room, interlaced heavily with technology, wires and tubes connected to rows upon rows of cylindrical machines. Incubation tanks would be more accurate, to tell the truth. Naruto approached them, and felt a bad feeling rise in his gut as he neared…

Inside the tubes were what could only be described as… monsters. Black, serpent-like, monstrosities with four, clawed limbs, and an enormous tail. Their skulls were elongated, with a large, shield-like bone protruding from the back. Naruto noticed that a chart beneath the beasts further described their anatomy. As he quickly skimmed it, he noted several other interesting facts. They had two mouths, the second of which was on the tongue. Also, their blood was green, and acidic… There was one more thing, as well…

"They're called Xenomorphs?"

Months passed uneventfully after Naruto made his discovery in Orichimaru's lair. By this time, he had already infiltrated every one of the snake-sannin's lairs, and his work was completed. All of his business with the sannin was over.

He found many interesting things in Orochimaru's other hideouts, but none were as interesting as the Xenomorph. Still, he still did not know the true horror that the beast's commanded, not having seen one alive after all. Unfortunately, the time was quickly approaching that he would become more familiar with them…

When Naruto left the lair where they were kept, he made a very important decision. In his wisdom as Konoha's newest Hokage, he deemed it necessary to completely eradicate Orochimaru's "pets". Unleashing a hellish jutsu, he burned the entire complex to dust, carrying nothing away but a journal, in which Orochimaru had written about the monsters. He never read the journal, however, not being one for books in general. If only he had read it, he would have learned that Orochimaru had not housed the Xenomorphs in that isolated, trap filled room to keep others out… but to keep them in. Burning the complex would have been a good idea if it housed anything but them. However, Naruto did make that mistake, and something survived the fire. It was angry…

Konoha was booming. Naruto assumed the position of Hokage as soon as Tsunade died, age and her genesis of rebirth technique finally catching up with her. It was what she wanted. Under his leadership, Konoha was wealthier than it had ever been, and the ninja academy was filled with new recruits.

On this sunny day, Naruto was busy inside his tower, filling out paperwork, or at least watching his assistant do it. Konohamaru had admired Naruto ever since he was a boy, so he was the new Hokage's first choice when he needed to hire help.

"Hey boss, this one's from an environmental protection group." The Hokage's assistant said. "They are angry because so much of the forest was destroyed in this year's chunnin exam. They want you to-"

"Ah, Who cares about the environment?" The Hokage replied. "Would they prefer they we hold the next exam at whatever place they mailed this letter from? Rip it to pieces!"

"Sure thing boss."

The Hokage peered out of the window, eager to step outside and breathe in the fresh air. As he stared at the people on the streets below, he grumbled, "It is stuffy in here, Konohamaru. What do you say we take a quick ramen break?"

"Geez, Naruto, how much ramen does one ninja need? I'm surprised that your not gaining weight with all your 'ramen breaks'."

Naruto was about to reply, but he noticed a bizarre change in the movements of the people below. It looked like something had gotten their attention in a nearby alleyway, and people were starting to crowd around it. Suddenly, a high pitched shriek filled the air as a woman screamed in terror.

"Konohamaru!"

"Right, Boss"

Both ninja performed a sudden hand seal, and POOF! they appeared at the entrance to the alleyway. ANBU were already on the scene, telling the crowd to step back. Naruto stepped into the alleyway, to get a closer look at what happened.

Naruto saw a scene that would have caused the average man to yell out, however he kept his composure. Inside his head, he remarked 'I've never seen a corpse quite like this one.'

What had once been a man, had his face frozen in a grimace that told of the enormous pain that he must have suffered during his death. It did not take an instant for anyone to spot the reason. There was a gaping hole in his chest. The ribs were bent outwards, and yet the hole stopped before it reached the man's back.

An ANBU stepped forward, "Hokage. Something burst from this man's chest."

Naruto replied, "I know. The important question here is, 'What?'" He stepped away from the scene. A team of medical ninja had arrived, and Naruto addressed them, "I want to know what happened to this man, as soon as possible."

"Yes, sir!"

The Hokage sighed.'Whatever had happened here, it will certainly be troublesome dealing with it. Wait a minute.' "Somebody get Shikamaru over here!"

One of the ANBU saluted, "I'll get him sir."

A few moments later, the greatest mind in Konoha was present at the scene. "What do want, Naruto?"

Naruto smiled. "I know how much you hate being bothered, Shikamaru, but this is something that you could call 'important'. See that body over there?" He motioned towards the corpse. "I need you to help the medical team figure out what happened. If it was some ninja from an enemy village, I won't have him terrorizing my village! At any rate, I want this dealt with as soon as possible."

"Alright. I'll handle things this once. But this means that next time you can bother some one else when you need help."

"Agreed." Naruto left Shikamaru to his new assignment, and started back to the tower.

"Are we just gonna leave this, Boss?" Konohamaru said, catching up to Naruto.

"That paperwork is not gonna fill out its self. Besides, I just put Shikamaru on the case. I doubt I am going to have any insight into this matter that he doesn't."

Naruto returned to his office and watched Konohamaru finish his paperwork. When night fell, Naruto gave his assistant leave to go, and he returned to his own home. There Naruto was greeted by the smell of his favorite dish, being cooked by the love of his life, his darling wife Hinata.

She had admired him "from the time she first saw him" she had said, a statement made all the more meaningful by the fact that, as a Hyuga, her bloodline allowed that to be as early as she was three. It depended on how quickly she developed byakugan of course, but the statement was meaningful, nonetheless.

Hinata could cook cuisine much finer than simple ramen, but as a person who had studied Naruto for much of her life, she knew that that was all he ever wanted. When he came through the door, she placed his food on the table and gave her the usual greeting. "Hello, Naruto-kun."

"Hey, Hinata-chan! I'm starving." Naruto entered his home and began the same routine that he underwent almost every day since he had become Hokage.

Meanwhile...

It had been a long day of training kids for Ebisu. Water walking was always a difficult lesson to teach, no matter how many children he taught it to. As he rounded the corner and saw his apartment approaching, he only thought of getting much needed sleep. He lived on the outskirts of town, and liked it there. In the days since Konohamaru had quit being his student, he had resolved that he liked spending time alone anyway. He noticed that it was becoming quite dark as he neared his home.

A muffled noise caught the attention of Ebisu's well-honed, ninja ears. He knew that something had moved behind him, but a primal fear, long extinguished during his career as a ninja, started to resurface. At any other time, Ebisu would already have been upon his stalker, with a kunai at their throat. But for some reason, a child-like part of him told him to run. "Damn it, I'm no coward!" Ebisu turned around and walked to a particularly dark area between two buildings where he knew the culprit was hiding. "Who's out here! Huh! Come out here, coward!"

Then Ebisu realized that he was mistaken. His foe was surely a swift one to outsmart him. "Not where I thought he was, ABOVE ME!" Ebisu looked up, where a dark figure was previously clinging to the building, but he was far to late. He couldn't even utter a scream as the monster's jaws sunk into the softest parts of his face. His body went limp, his life, extinguished.

PS. Still not sure how to make Naruto, I am gravitating between quite old and kinda young. Help me out, here.
