AN: Another Naruto and Marvel story because there's never enough of those. For this one, it takes place in Earth 616 before Avengers vs X-Men. Plus, this is another fic featuring Hokage Naruto as he's pretty much my favorite version of Naruto and that he doesn't get featured in many stories. That being said, let's get on with this story.
Five years ago...
It was an Ootsutsuki Invasion, over seven of them came to Earth to destroy it. During the destruction of Konoha, Kakashi, Tsunade, Guy, Ebisu, Iruka, Orochimaru and many more all die before the two strongest shinobi alive could arrive. The Ootsusukis were trying to invade the Earth after the news of Momoshiki's death. Knowing of the Divine Tree they try to gather the tailed beasts, forcing Naruto Uzumaki to take them inside of himself. Naruto manages to absorb the bijuu into his seal. Gaining the full power of every tailed beast at once, Naruto was now able to tap into the power Hagaromo gave him. Mastery over Yang release and become functionally immortal. His Rikudou Mode was now more powerful than ever before. Sasuke Uchiha's adventures in Kaguya's dimensions allowed him to discover the secrets of her history, but by doing so made Earth a target to Ootsusuki. He battled with them alone for months before he barely escaped not before unlocking the final tomoe to his sharingan. Finally the full power of Indra's Sharingan has awakened. The Ootsusuki's goal was to replant the Divine tree and use it to enslave all of those on the planet. Taking the life-force and chakra of all living things including the planet itself. By doing this, they will have all the reserves to live forever and have the power to be like the Gods themselves. Naruto and Sasuke both went to stop them from attaining the beasts but at the price of Konoha and many lives. After a long arduous battle, the two the shinobi were finally able to defeat the invading Ootsusuki. However, the aftermath of the resulting fight inadvertently formed a singularity of some kind, which suddenly exploded and both Naruto and Sasuke were then consumed in a devastating light.
The two shinobi came out somewhere else; a place with tall buildings, people that dressed strangely driving in different kinds of vehicles.
After gathering their bearings, both Naruto and Sasuke set out to learn as much as they could of the new world they were now in. They learned that this world was larger than their own with more advanced technology and that the country they were in was called the United States or North America, governed by someone known as the President who was in charge of the country's economy and laws. This country also had several military branches that not only protected it but served to watch foreign countries with its soldiers ready to go to war should it be declared. Unlike kunai and shuriken these soldiers use projectile weapons called guns that fired small pieces of metal called bullets and there were no kinds of ninja here.
Well, there were ninja but not like Naruto and Sasuke's kind. They might be well trained and all but an academy student or a genin would be more of a threat. As the two ninja studied the countries they learned the country called Japan's culture and language was similar to their world which was interesting. But what was most interesting was the one thing that took them by surprise.
The super heroes.
That's right, this world literally had super heroes running around and helping to protect the innocent and the weak from a whole bunch of super villains. It was kind of weird, a whole bunch of people dressed in tights that reminded Naruto and Sasuke too much of Guy and Lee's outfits but a lot flashier bu itt was kind of amazing that they protected the innocent. It was strange that so many heroes and villains had all these powers, perhaps most of them were some form of bloodline limit but I can think of that later. It was interesting to read about the Avengers, especially the info about Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, and Spider-Man.
As for what they were going to do in this world, the two shinobi believed that they can do their own brand of good around here but their methods differs from the other heroes. Naruto especially, drew the line at murder but at the same as a Shinobi they were trained to kill their enemies if the situation calls for it. They however allow rapists, psychopaths, and murderers like Doctor Doom, Green Goblin, and Red Skull to live only for them to come back after a week or so to kill again and the families mourn the loss of their husbands, wives, sons, daughters, and so on all because the heroes believe that if they kill they are no better than the criminals. They shouldn't interfere with their affairs since this is not their world but that is not the kind of people Naruto and Sasuke are.
The people who suffer mourn the loss of their loved ones as the criminals roam the streets looking for their next victim. Someone needs to speak for them if it's not going to be the super heroes. It's a matter of honor to them that they try and continue what their family, teachers, and friends tried to accomplish. Eternal peace.
Earth 616
Two men were walking side by side in the factory while all around them men were filtering white powder into small vials; the first man was wearing a fine tailored suit with a rather flat head while the other was wearing a full yellow radiation suit with two armed guards trailing behind both of them.
"Listen man, I don't see why it's taking you this long to make up your mind, I mean this is some quality shit I'm dealing here." said the first man with an American/Italian accent, picking up a vial of white powder "Try some man, I'm sure it's what you're looking for."
The taller man walking beside him simply stopped and looked at the men below "Not sure if your aware my friend but the Advanced Idea Mechanics doesn't deal with your petty little drug running ops," he then turned his attention back to the other man "We are here for another reason" the other man simply turned his back "okay then, what are doing making deals with me if you don't want to purchase some quality merchandise? Care to "enlighten" me then?"
"You must know that with the Kingpin behind bars, it is quite difficult for men of your profession to make an honest living without the super-humans getting in your way" this caught the gangsters attention "What AIM is offering is a simple act of co-operation, we make sure no super-humans bother you in your dealings and we get fifty percent of your profits."
"FIFTY PERCENT! YOU GOTTA BE FUCKING WITH ME!"
"Fifty percent is quite reasonable for what we are offering."
"Christ man, why don't you just take the fillings in my fucking teeth while you're at it?"
"What would you be willing to give us then?"
"….Twenty percent."
"Forty."
"Thirty."
"Thirty-five percent. Final offer," the man in the yellow suit said, waiting for the gangsters reply. The gangster simply looked at his men below, it was true what the he said, times were indeed tougher without the kingpin around and the rising number of super-humans flying about the place was certainly doing a number on their operations, not to mention the police were getting bolder with support from both S.H.I.E.L.D and the Avengers. The gangster swallowed his pride, he needed this deal.
The gangster held out his hand in a friendly gesture "you got yourself a deal Mr?" the other man shook his hand firmly and smiled behind his black visor "I'm the scientist supreme of A.I.M and it was a pleasure doing business with you"
BANG! BANG! BANG!
The doors of the factory began loudly thudding as if something was ramming against them, all the men in the factory below stopped what they were doing and upholstered their guns aiming them at the door. "What the hell was that?" the gangster was sweating at this point there was no way someone could have stumbled on them here, unless it was this A.I.M guys plan to do this all along, he pointed at the scientist supreme who's guards were aiming at the door as well "you! Your behind this aren't you, you son of a bitch!"
The scientist supreme was just as worried as the thudding continued, "I swear I have as much information on the situation at hand as you do" the thudding kept getting faster and faster until it stopped in its tracks, the gangster pointed to two of his men armed with shotguns "you two, check the door" the men edged their way towards the door nervously, one of the men then tapped the door with the barrel of his gun.
KRAKOOM!
The doors were blown to pieces in an explosion of gold and purple energy as then two men were sent flying across the room crashing into stacks of wooden boxes, suddenly an orange and purple blur flew across the room knocking out most of the men as they fired blinded by the smoke. "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!" the gangster shouted out as his men were taken out one by one, even the Scientist Supreme was scared shitless as he couldn't track the movements of whatever was doing this as his suits advanced vision modes could only tell that whatever was doing this was leaving behind massive trace amounts of pure energy around the room.
"That's it we're out of the here!" the Scientist Supreme said only to turn to a sight that literally made him shit himself, one of his guards was clearly unconscious hanging from the railings while his other guard was being held up by the throat by one of the men responsible for this.
Standing in front of him were two men with the first one having short blonde hair and blue eyes, and three whisker marks on both of his cheeks, he wore an orange sweatshirt with black stripes, black pants and sandals. He also wore a white cape that had a red flame pattern around the hem, held together by a red rope. His right arm was completely wrapped in bandages. The second man had black eyes and long black hair that completely covered his left eye, he wore a black cloak with lavender lining, and a gray, long-sleeved, collared shirt, over which he wore a periwinkle vest. He also wore black pants, a purple belt, and dark gray fingerless glove on his right hand with the other one being completely covered in bandages. This man was obviously a super human due to the fact that he had a 120 pound man hoisted up by the throat like he was nothing in one hand while his other hand was glowing with the same gold energy that blew up the factory entrance.
"Hey, what's up?" the orange clad super human said before throwing the AIM trooper to the floor.
"Who the hell are you?" Hammerhead said recovering from the smoke
"Us? Well…we're the ones who are going to put your sorry asses behind bars for rest of your pitiful lives," His pupils then began to turn gold as he continued to speak "OR I could be the man who killed Hammerhead, former right hand man to the Kingpin and Franklin Dean the current Scientist Supreme of one of the largest terrorist organizations in the world," he then grinned as held his arms out wide while his companion still kept his stoic expression, "Now you tell me gentleman, which one am I!?"
"You're the dead man asshole," Hammerhead pulled out a magnum and unloaded the clip in the man's direction but to his dread the bullets seemed to burn up before they even reached him, the super human smirked as he said "Well…to each his own, you guys are lucky I'm in a good mood" the two super humans then began slowly walking toward them with the blond haired one chuckling.
5 minutes later
Both the Scientist Supreme and Hammerhead were tied up along with every other man in the factory; the super human had just finished tying up the last man, "Well let's see today's count comes down to three bank robberies, five muggings, two attempted rapes and one collaboration between the Mafia and AIM…pretty boring really," the blond haired superhuman said.
"This isn't a competition Naruto," his raven haired companion stated.
"I know Sasuke, but it feels good to take these bastards down every time," Naruto Uzumaki grinned as he then crouched down before the Scientist Supreme and Hammerhead's faces pointing at them with his bandaged hand, "Now you guy's stay here, the boys in blue usually take about ten or so minutes to get here on weekdays." the super human was then interrupted by the sound of police sirens in the distance.
"Oh, scratch that," Naruto said as he looked back at the tied up criminals "Good news, it seems like the cops will be here a bit earlier than expected, and it gets even better, SHIELD operatives will be arriving to take custody of you AIM guys for some 'special treatment.' " Naruto seemed to sing the last part of that sentence as he dusted himself off and waved to the criminals, "Well gentleman it was fun while it lasted but alas me and my friend here have to get going, sayonara!" suddenly both shinobi disappeared in a swirl of leaves, leaving only a group of confused criminals and a pile of green leaves on the ground.
Hammerhead then looked to the Scientist Supreme tied up next to him with a raised eyebrow, "How the hell did he know our names Franklin?"
Meanwhile in the city
At another part of the city two members of the superhero team known as the Avengers were scouring the city for crime, the shorter of the two was running along the rooftops leaping from building to building while the other was content swinging from building to building via web cartridges.
"So web head how did the date go?" said the yellow suited X-Man known as Wolverine.
"Could have gone better if Doc Ock didn't destroy the café we were at," said the red and blue clad superhuman known as Spider-Man.
"Well how was it going before he came and crashed it?" Wolverine said trying to make some conversation.
"To be completely honest Logan, I don't think me and MJ are really….compatible," Spider-Man said with a hint of regretfulness in his voice.
"Any reasons bub?" Wolverine said as he leaped over a gap between buildings.
"I just don't think being in a relationship with her would be for the best, for me or her, I mean ever since losing Gwen and becoming an Avenger I don't think I'll be able to be in a relationship again, well with a normal girl at least," It was true. Ever since Gwen Stacy's death at the hands of his longtime foe the Green Goblin, Peter Parker was never the same, after a while the Web-Slinger thought he could get back to being his old self once more. That's when the Avengers gave him the choice to join their ranks and become part of something better. Through the Avengers, Peter met so many other like him and for once he could be himself and feel free to express what he thought to his newly acquired friends. Though if Peter had to say, the Avengers with whom he connected with the most were Logan who was little rough around the edges but still a good man whom Peter could always rely on, Tony Stark aka Iron Man who was always around for his teammates when they needed support, Luke Cage, who Peter could always look to for advice seeing as they were both street level heroes, and then of course there was Carol Danvers better known as Ms Marvel who was always…
"Hey Web-Head, you hear what I just said?" Logan said, snapping Peter out of his trance.
"Uh...sorry, Logan, come again?" Peter said stuttering a little due to embarrassment.
Logan rolled his eyes and muttered something before replying, "I said that I've been around long enough to know that no women are normal bub, you might think that having super-powers makes them different but trust me it doesn't."
"Still I don't think I could handle the pressure of dealing with the whole secret identity thing in my love life too," Peter said before they stopped on a random rooftop.
"Listen Pete, just tell me the problem with MJ."
"I don't know Logan, I just think she would love Spider-Man and not Peter Parker, or maybe the other way around or…oh God, Im just scared if she gets close to me the same thing that happened to Gwen will happen to her, everyone who gets close to me, something bad happens. I mean look at the list, Uncle Ben, Gwen, Captain Stacy, Marla Jameson-"
"You can't keep blaming yourself for that Pete. None of that was your fault."
"I know Logan it's just….wait haven't you noticed something weird?"
"What?"
"We just went through twenty city blocks of the most crime infested part of New York, and we didn't even see so much as a mugging."
"Maybe the bad guys are just sick of getting their asses handed to them," Logan smirked as he relished the thought.
"That or someone's doing our job for us," Peter said as he looked down one particular alley way to see five unconscious gang members all tied up to a lamppost.
Logan then took a few sniffs in the air and looked to Peter, "You know something Parker…I think you may be right."
AN: So this story is going to be a remake of my old story Marvel's Maelstrom. The premise for this story is inspired by some fan art I saw on Deviantart, where Naruto and Sasuke are up against an Ootsutsuki invasion, a possible theory on why Konoha is in ruins at the beginning of the Boruto manga. This chapter is pretty much a prologue for what's to come. Another thing I'd like to note is that this takes place in the comics, not the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I can't stress that enough as there's way too many of those kinds of stories around here. I'll try to explain what I know to people who haven't read the comics as we go along. That being said, next chapter will deal with how Naruto and Sasuke arrived to the Marvel Universe and everyone's reactions to this sudden drop in crime. I'll see you then.
