Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any Marvel product, though I'd make some killer changes. Sooo new project? Maybe. But I had to put this down or else I'd go mad! It all started when I had the image of Hulk smashing Sasuke with Susanoo into a building, so who couldn't resist this. Don't worry A Clash of Cultures is still going strong, but if I don't do something different I'd just get bored with it. So don't worry and enjoy!
The streets were flooded with the maddening traffic of noon, the angry reports of multiple car horns sounding off in the distance of the great city. Towering skyscrapers dotted the city, with the tallest one enveloping it's brethren in it's shadow; adorning it's surface was the singular letter A, giving off an air of importance to all those who gazed upon it.
But this story does not focus solely on the importance of the awe inspiring tower, instead let's take a look at this amazing city's smaller areas. Though the city was aesthetically pleasing on the surface, it's always good to remember that even the shiniest of tools have some dirt on them and this city was no different. While not nearly as bad as it used to be, specific people were still given hate filled glances and some times full on glares in these slums.
And while a truly fascinating story in of itself, it too is not the main focus of this story either. Let's focus on the pair standing in front of a new building. It wasn't obscenely large that it would be an eyesore amongst the public and it wasn't too small that no one would notice it at all, it was just the perfect fit among the neighboring stores and coffee shops along the the street. Three words decorated the face of the building and windows: A Pariah's Pub.
The two young men stood side by side, eyes focused solely on the building, taking it all in and passing judgement. They were of nearly equal height, though the one with black spiky hair and long bangs was centimeters taller than his blond partner. The crow haired man wore a black leather jacket and dark blue jeans, a small scowl spread across his face as his eyes went back in forth across the newly built pub. He was a direct contrast to his blonde haired partner with cerulean eyes, equipped with a black and orange jacket covering his dark blue t-shirt and sporting tan cargo shorts. What they both had in common however, were pairs of black sandals and multiple hidden pouches containing all sorts of weapons and scrolls.
The dark haired man found the strength to turn his gaze from the small pub and focused on his still smiling partner, who seemed enraptured with the building in front of him.
"I can't believe you talked me into thinking this was a good idea." He said with a huff, scowl still etched across his face.
"Yeah well I haven't seen you come up with any helpful ideas, and you're just jealous that I came up with it first." the blondes smile seemed to grow with that being said.
"Come up wi- You got it from one of those stupid Detective novels!"
"Eh, semantics." he said with a shrug, eyes never leaving the pub for a moment.
The black haired man lowered his head and sighed with annoyance at his partners gloating, but he had to admit, it did sound pretty good at first. Whenever you find yourself in a place with little to no information, it's always good to have a base of operations. He just wished it hadn't taken so much effort in actually putting that idea to practice. Ever since they somehow got here a month ago, he had for some reason let Naruto take the reins, which lead to their new building.
"Hey Sasuke."
"What Naruto."
"How bout we open this bad boy up?" Naruto grin was practically taking up his entire face it was so large. It must have been contagious too, because Sasuke felt the beginnings of one threatning to over take his scowl, though he stopped it in time.
"...Fine. But only because you won't let me kill anyone for new clothes."
Naruto's frown disappeared so fast, you wouldn't have thought that one was there at all. With a low growl, he made sure not to be trifled with, "We are NOT killing civilians! We stole these clothes from those thugs only because THEY started it. Got it?!"
Sasuke almost felt like arguing back just for arguing's sake, but felt that it'd waste more air than would be healthy. So with a nonchalant "Che", he headed into their new pub, with Naruto following, a grin once again etched on his face as turned a formerly 'Closed' sign to 'Open'.
The two strongest Shinobi from Team 7 now having a home in New York.
So how will this fic be any different from my last two? Well it'll be more short story-ish with their pub being the local hangout for wait for it...MUTANTS! It'll be good, and I purposely withheld how they got to New York because I honestly can't come up with a good reason, but by God I'll try my Damn-est! Please enjoy and Review!
Recommended Fic- "Primed to Defend the Universe" by LawrenceSnake, one the best Metroid/Mass Effect Fan Fics I've ever read, and I hope he updates soon!
