Chapter 1 the heroes arrive
In the immensity of space was a planet known to many as the planet Shinobi. The planet Shinobi was a planet completely inhabited by human beings who thanks to a powerful and ancient God acquired the ability to use a great and powerful energy known as the Chakra.
The Chakra is the vital energy of the body that runs through the veins of all the people of the planet Shinobi, the Chakra is a mixture between physical energy (身 ー, shintai enerugī) present in every cell of the body of the living being and the spiritual energy (精 ー, seishin enerugī) acquired through exercise, training and experience. Once mixed it can be channeled through the circulatory system of the chakra, which is like the blood circulatory system but with chakra, to any of the 361 Tenketsu in the body. Through several methods, the most common is manual seals which were completely necessary to perform any of the abilities or powers that could be created by the Shinobians, the chakra can be manipulated to achieve the incredible sañas that would not otherwise be possible For example, walking on water, climbing trees without hands, exhaling fire through the mouth or the creation of such powerful illusions capable of destroying the mind of a person.
Apart from giving great skills and techniques to these people the Chakra also gave him the power to invoke all kinds of beasts and animals that varied in size and power, among the beasts that they could invoke were beings known as the Bijuu which are nine powerful beings capable of destroying a mountain or town by just moving one of their tails. But there were very few people capable of invoking one of these beasts and less the people who could control them completely, but somehow the Shinobis managed to create technical barias capable of sealing a tail beast inside a newborn child in order to take advantage to the maximum the power that they possessed.
Those people who managed to house one of the Nine Bijus within them were known as Chinjurikis, who were literally human sacrifices due to the fact that when a person is locked inside a Bijuu they are classified as less than human by the inhabitants of the planet and are constantly victims of physical, mental and verbal abuse.
Despite being one of the most technologically backward planets, the Shinobi Planet was one of the most powerful because of the chakra that they possessed and used to create their great variety of powerful techniques, many were the alien species that avoid passing at all costs by That planet due to that, even less were the number of them that wanted to invade this planet and take over it, during all the time that the planet has existed there have been only a few that have been able to enter and leave that planet.
Leaving the planet Shinobi you could see a figure covered in a green light, the person covered by the green light seemed to be injured because it was holding his right shoulder, also behind that person you could see a small trace of blood that he was leaving all the way behind him. But even with the wound on his shoulder and the blood coming out of the figure did not let that stop him and just kept flying at an incredible speed, the figure increased its speed a little and thanks to that he disappeared into the darkness of space.
If that figure had turned even a little bit he would have seen several explosions all over the planet Shinobi. He also opened seen a person covered by a red light chasing him. Even in the darkness of space you could see a cruel and bloodthirsty smile on the face of the figure bathed in red light, his smile only increased when he saw his prey crash against a pile of space rocks while he was trying to escape as far as possible from the planet Shinobi, if possible the smile of the person covered by the red light was extended a little more when a drop of blood belonging to the boy covered by the green light crashed against his cheek, using his tongue the retreat the blood of his face before increasing his speed a little more. He would not allow his prey to escape so easily.

GOTHAM CITY
July 4, 12:00 EDT
Today was a strangely quiet day in Gotham City which was known as the city where crime and crime reigned, due to that no one in their right mind would dare to move to this city, which despite being half a day the city He had not yet had his daily assault of criminals who either wanted to take over the city or wanted to destroy it, also the people of Gothan City had not seen their main hero today which added two totally strange events in a single day.
So taking advantage of the tranquility of the day many people went to the local park to enjoy some fresh air and live a little with their families ... Unfortunately for them the family day was interrupted when large beams of ice began to freeze the people and everything in their path.
Quickly the panic and despair took over the people who started running wildly to avoid being frozen or being run over by the other people who were running in all directions. While the other people ran for their lives a dark-skinned man who was enjoying a little picnic with his children watched in horror as a man in a thick suit appeared in front of him, his eyes only widening in horror when He easily recognized the man as Mr. Freeze, a famous supervillain and enemy of his local hero The Batman.
Mr. Freeze stood on a large rock that he had frozen before looking at the man and the two children terrified in front of him, a smile covered his face when he saw the terrified looks of the three people, he always enjoyed seeing the faces of horror that people put before being frozen by him. "Enjoying a family day?" he asked as he pointed his gun at the frightened people, when his gun was fully charged the shot at the man and his two sons who were frozen and killed quickly. "My family has other plans," he said before jumping on the people he had frozen,
When Mr. Freeze's whole weight fell on the frozen people they broke into a thousand pieces, the blue-skinned man gave little importance to that and pointed his gun at a group of people running for their lives, he was ready to shoot again and turn those people into human paddles but their plans were interrupted when a foreign object was embedded in their weapon before exploding, but fortunately for him the explosion was not strong enough to destroy his freezing weapon. "Batman," he said as he turned quickly and pointed his gun at the person behind him, his eyes narrowing a little when he did not see the Dark Knight of Gothan behind him, his eyes narrowed a little when he heard. the cheerful laugh of a boy. A boy he knew and hated in the same way as the Knight of the Night.
Robin also known as the Wonder Boy that is what some people called him. He landed on Mr. Freeze causing him to face the floor, turning the boy dressed in red, black and yellow, throwing several of his gadgets directly into the helmet that protected the head of Mr. Freeze. The man's helmet cracked a little which caused him to get up a little angry, pointing his gun at the boy the barias shot but Robin dodged all the shots easily. "Be still, little plague," he said as they continued to try to hit the boy who did not stop jumping everywhere.
Robin just smiled as he looked at the villain angry, taking a couple of forks from the ground he threw them against Mr. Freeze causing them to be embedded in the hand of the man who growled again before releasing his weapon. "You are a very annoying little plague, perhaps the bat sent you to take me to prison" he asked while looking at the boy in front of him who was still smiling. "I still have to admit that you have a few skills but still you do not impress me" he said arrogantly.
"Great but I'm in a bit of a hurry so why do not we finish this a little faster" Robin said while looking at the man, the Wonder Boy raised one eyebrow when he heard Mr. Freeze talking to him. I was not talking to you "he said making Mr. Freeze turn around to see who the guy was talking to, when he discovered who was behind his eyes opened in surprise when he saw The Batman, also known as The Dark Knight, a man who, despite being a simple human, had fought and defeated great opponents who easily surpassed him in power and strength.
The Dark Knight descended from the sky and hit Mr. Freeze in his cracked helmet, the blow caused the man's helmet to break and the man to fall to the ground unconscious. Looking at the man on the floor he proceeded to handcuff him before looking at his apprentice who despite everything was still smiling.
STAR CITY
July 4, 09:01 PDT
Icicle Junior landed in one of the many bridges that was in Star City, using his ice powers he created a spear and threw it towards a car that was heading towards him, he smiled a little when he saw how his spear pierced the owner of the Carriage dares the heart, thus managing to kill him quickly and without much pain. Placing his hands on the bridge he created a wall of ice to stop the car of the dead man who despite having his dead driver was still moving and on his way to it. "Arrg, what the hell was that" he said when he felt something get embedded in his ice skin, looking at what he was he realized that it was an arrow which exploded and threw him to the ground, rising a little He shook his head a couple of times to get rid of the daze that had caused the previous explosion, looking up a little he saw Green Arrow who was accompanied by a boy dressed in red and yellow. "Finally, I was already starting to ask how many people he would have to kill in order to get his attention "he said as he made his right arm grow, pointing that extremity against his enemies he made five big ice daggers shoot at his enemies.
Green Arrow who was accompanied by his companion and Secuas Speedy began to descend by the cables that supported the bridge while they sent a great variety of arrows to his enemy. "If the goal wanted to get our attention because not only knocked on the door of my house" Speedy said while running by the cables of the bridge, jumping in the air the archer threw barias explosive arrows at the boy which stunned him a little more , turning his gaze to his partner he spoke seriously. "And you, I hope this little distraction does not ruin our plans," he said before jumping again to keep his feet from freezing.
Green Arrow ignored his partner and turned his gaze to his enemy, seeing that Icicle Junior began to create an ice shield to protect the bag several of his own explosive arrows, placing them in his bow the point before throwing them against Icicle Junior and his shield of ice, a small smile crossed his face when he saw that his dates exploded and created a big hole in the ice shield that the villain had created to protect himself, his smile grew a little more when he saw that Speedy took advantage of the hole that they had created their arrows to throw one of the and so hit Icicle in the jaw and knock him unconscious on the ground. "The boy has a crystal jaw." Green Arrow said trying to joke with his apprentice but he stopped when he saw the serious look on his partner's face.
"How funny, now we can leave, after all, today is the day" Speedy said while looking at Green Arrow
PEARL HARBOR
July 4, 06:02 HST
All Pearl Harbor was completely frozen, everything including the water was covered in ice because Killer Frost was fighting the great superhero and king of the sea Aquaman who was accompanied by his faithful follower and sudden Aqualad. Aquaman jumped twice to avoid being frozen by one of the freezing rays of Killer Frost, unfortunately for the king of the sea he was not fast enough and ended up being trapped by the third shot of the girl. "I think things are getting a bit cold between us" he joked with the ice girl who looked at him with a neutral and emotionless face, seeing that the girl did not want to talk to him he turned his gaze to his accomplice and assistant And your boy, tell me you're not excited about today? " he asked while ignoring the position he was in.
Aqualad on the other hand kept running knowing that this attack would be nothing for their leader who was one of the greatest heroes on the planet. "At this time I would prefer to put an end to the matter at hand, my king," he said as he continued to run. Kaldur'ahm which was the true name of the boy jumped into the air and pulled out his Waterbearers which he used to transform his water into a pair of spiked mallets. Seeing this Killer Frost used his powers to freeze the boy's weapons together with his hands, but she never expected him to use that against her to hit her on the chin and knock her unconscious. After leaving the unconscious villain Kaldur'ahm use his superior strength to break the ice in his hands, placing his Waterbearers on his back he looked at his king who had freed himself easily from the ice that held him prisoner. "Now that we're done with this, yes, I'm excited, after all, today is the big day," he said with a small smile on his face.
CENTRAL CITY
July 4, 11:03 CDT
The Flash and his assistant Kid Flash were running in circles around Captain Cold who was surprised by both while trying to steal a jewelry, again, and as in all previous times the man was shooting his famous ice gun with hope to be able to hit his opponents but like his previous times he was failing miserably because both were too fast for him to see them and much less hit them. But hey, no one could say that he was not trying, after all hope is the last thing that is lost.
"Really Cold, stealing?" Flash asked as he kept running around the man. "It's not a bit cliché that even for Captain Cold" he said but the man remained silent as he fired everywhere with his ice weapon.
"Come on we do not have time for this" Kid Flash said as he put on his glasses and began to run faster, with a quick movement the yellow and red hero managed to desalmar his enemy but not before receiving a shot in the shoulder by of this.
Captain Cold to be disarmed attempt to run to escape with everything he had stolen, but unfortunately stop The Flash appeared in front of him and hit him in the face leaving him unconscious before he could even reach the ground. "Very slow friend" Flash said while smiling. "Calm down Kid, you're a bit rushed today" he said as he looked at his partner who appeared at his side.
"Oh please" Kid complained as he looked at his mentor. "What would you do now, wait for the police to come and talk to them, not today, because today is the day," he said with a big smile on his face. Seeing this, Flash smiled and smiled at the smile of his accomplice.
WASHINGTON, D.C
July 4, 02:00 PM
Batman, Aquaman and Green Arrow were together with their proteges, Robin, Aqualad, and speedy respectively, all six of them were a few meters from the famous and well-known Hallf of Justice, all including Batman had a smile on their face while watching the headquarters of the Justice League. "Finally today is the big day," said the world's greatest detective as he placed a hand on his protege's shoulder.
"Welcome to the Hallf of Justice," Flash said as he continued what his fellow hero had begun to say.
"Justice League Headquarters" Aquaman finished for both, listening to a lament the six turned to see Flash followed by his protege Kid Flash who had placed next to them. Everyone could tell that the whine had come from Kid Flash who was complaining that even though they are the fastest of all present they were the last to arrive.
"Come on, you've been waiting for this for a long time" said Batman as he ignored the boy and started walking towards the Hall of Justice, while the great heroes walked along with the boys they could see a large number of people who were both sides of them, many were throwing photos and commenting on their heroes and their helpers, while others wanted their autographs or take a picture with them.
While walking behind his accomplice Speddy, Flecha approached him a little closer and placed a hand on his right shoulder. "What do you say, boy, are you really ready to see the room inside?" I ask with a smile on his bearded face.
"If I'm ready, I was born ready for this," he said as he matched the man's smile behind him.
"Have we ever been the cuatros in the same place at the same time?" Kid Flash asked while looking at his friends, the boy was so excited that without realizing he had stepped forward steps in front of his friends and mentors.
They all stopped quickly when they heard a commotion among the audience, looking around they saw how everyone had raised their eyes to the sky before they began to shoot and record everything, following the same example that the people around them also raised They watched as two people slowly descended from heaven, one of which was very familiar to them. "I hope we're not late," asked Harold Jordan or Hal as he preferred to be called by his friends as he landed in front of his friends and fellow heroes. Harold Jordan also known as Green Lantern, is a superhero and one of the founding members of the Justice League, the man was also one of the few Green Lantern that was guarding and protecting Planet Earth and the entire sector that is it belonged
Batman stared at his partner and the boy who accompanied him, he saw that the boy was dressed in the typical suit of the Greens Lanterns, the boy was of the same height as Aqualad, and he had blond hair which came to him A little further down the ears, he also noticed that the boy had a sword with a black scabbard tied to his back. He also realized that the boy seemed to be trained in the art of combat due to the definition of his body and that from the moment he placed himself in front of them he began to analyze them all as if he were looking for some kind of threat or danger.
Turning his gaze from the blond boy to his League mate he spoke. "Who is the boy Hal?" asked Batman without even greeting his friend, he could see that the boy was a Green Lantern but he was not one known to him because of the fact that he knew all the Green Lanterns that were on earth.
Hal just smiled while looking at his partner, where others would have offended or maybe bothered by the direct question without greeting him or asking them how he was, but he did not, he just took it easy, he knew how Batman was and that He was a man who was always direct and always went to the point. Placing a hand on the boy he smiled. "This guy is a new Green Lantern which seme was commissioned to me so that I can train him properly, he's only had two months since he became a Lanter, since his planet was attacked and almost destroyed by a member of the Red Lantern Corps "he said as he surprised everyone except Batman, a sad look fell on the face of the Green Lantern as he remembered when the Guardians told him about his fallen companion who died trying to protect the boy and his planet.
Batman nodded as he looked at his partner. "I see, but why is he here on Earth?" he asked while trying to get all the information possible, he had also begun to record the conversation thanks to a small camera that was in the center of his mask.
"After he was saved and chosen by the ring of the former Green Lantern who as I told them died protecting the boy he was taken by the ring to Oa where his wounds were treated and healed, after a little conversation between the Guardians of the Universe they decided to assign it to me to instruct and train, after beginning their training I realized that he quickly learned everything I taught him, but I also realized that he was just a boy and that was when I remembered about you and the guys that you would bring to show you the headquarters, so I decided to bring him to learn a little about what we do and all the good that we have done, this will also serve as training for when he has your own sector to protect. " He finished while looking at the blonde next to him.
Everyone stared at the boy who had not moved from his place or had spoken while Hal was telling his story and what had happened a few months ago. The blond boy on the other hand just stared at everyone around him while he kept looking for some kind of threat.
Seeing what the blond boy was doing, Hal placed a hand on his shoulder before smiling a little. "Quiet guy you are among friends here, here none of them will hurt you or attack you so you can relax a bit" he said making the blonde nod but still he never under guard. "Come on, why do not you come before them" he said trying to make the blonde talk and relax a bit, since he was assigned to enter the blond he never saw him smiling or relaxing. The one day he had discovered that the boy next to him was always trained with his osino ring was studying or meditating. Those and other things was that he was motivated to bring the boy with the earth wing, so that he would meet people of his age who almost did the same job he would be doing when he was a member of the Green Lanter. void.
The young Green Lantern nodded as he stepped forward and closer to everyone. "हॅलो माझे नाव नारुतो उझुमाकी आहे". He said but the only thing he got was that everyone looked at him confused.
"JAJAJAjajaa" suddenly the whole place began to fill with the thunderous laughter of Hal Jordan who could not bear the urge to laugh when he saw the confused faces of all his companions except Batman who was the only one who was completely serious. Even now that he thought about it he always saw the man with the same serious face and few were the occasions when he showed a smile. But ignoring that for now he had to hold on to his stomach because he had begun to hurt from laughing so much. The blond looked at his superior with a confused face. Harold seeing this and that everyone was starting to look like he was crazy he stopped laughing, breathing a couple of times the man took off a tear that had formed in his right eye, after removing the tear and calm down a bit He spoke while looking at the blond. "Boy, you have to activate the translator of your ring, none of them understood what you said, you may understand them but they can not understand you or the language of your planet."
The realization hit the blond hard in the face, now he understood why it was that everyone was looking confused and because his superior was laughing, placing his ring in front of him, he saw this blink a couple of times before going back to its normal state "I'm sorry, I still do not get used to the other languages and sometimes I forget that I'm no longer on Oa or on my home planet," he said as he paused to look at the people around him who were still taking pictures of him. I have to say that this one looks a bit like it, at least in the way of life that governs them "he said as he looked at people who were very similar to him and the people of his planet, turning his gaze to the man dressed in black and the group in front of him he smiled a little. "My name in your language would be Naruto Uzumaki, I am a Shinobi from Shinobi Planet and it's a pleasure for me to meet you"
"Naruto, what is that, Chino?" asked Kid Flash as he looked at the boy in front of him and his strange name, he had never heard such a strange name and that he had heard many strange names in his line of work.
"No, that's not Chinese," Robin said as she shook her head. "That sounds more like Japanese," he said as he placed his hand on his right forearm. "And the literal translation would be fish pie which is an ingredient used in Japan to prepare Ramen soups," Robin said, making Batman proud. for how fast he went to look for the meaning and the human origin for the blond boy's name.
Kid Flash put his hands to his mouth to try to silence the laughter that came from his lips, everyone even Flash looked at him a little disappointed by how he was making fun of the boy's name. "Fish cake, who would put a name like that to his son" he said while trying to calm down a bit but that was becoming very difficult. "That's the funniest name-" Kid Flash took a tube when the blond boy disappeared from his place and appeared in front of him with his sword placed on his neck.
Everyone was surprised by how quickly the blond had moved and how quickly he drew his sword. "I would advise you not to mock the name my mother chose for me, boy" Naruto said as he placed his sword a little closer to the boy's neck who was a little scared and afraid that if he moved he would not be fast enough prevent the sword from cutting his neck.
"Enough नारुतो, I'm sure the boy did not want to offend you" Hal said as he used his ring to form a hand and grab his partner Lanter. The blond nodded as he kept his sword and took a couple of steps back and away from the brown haired boy, after that Hal's gaze fell on the Flash partner who still seemed a little scared. "As for you Kid Flash, I would advise you not to make fun of people in that way, since you never know how they could react"
Kid Flash nodded gratefully that the boy had calmed down a bit, he would have to remember never to mock the blond boy's name again, at least not in his presence.
"And so you know boy, my name also has another meaning in this language which is Maelstrom" he said making Robin and Aqualad nod.
"He is right Kid, his name here on earth also means Maelstrom" Robin said while still searching that another meaning could have the name of the blond.
"If great, I would have liked to know that a couple of seconds ago" he said while running his hand down his neck, he could still feel the steel of the sword on his neck, for him it was as if the blond's sword still I was in his neck and ready to cut his head, looking at the person in charge of all of him, I present his hand. "Look, friend, I'm sorry about that before, there are times when I can not control what comes out of my mouth, I want you to know that I did not want to offend you in any way, my name is Kid Flash and these are my friends Robin, Aqualad and Speedy "he said as he pointed them all one by one.
Looking at the boy's hand in front of him the blond narrowed it before speaking. "I assume those are your secret names, which you use to keep your real identities a secret," he said as he released his hand from the boy's in red and yellow.
"That's right, but how do you know about that?" Aqualad asked while looking at the blonde.
"Harold Jordan told me about it, he told me that some of his friends and his fighting partners use code names to keep their identities a secret while they work saving the world, he also told me that many of you do this so that no one knows their true identities and thus be able to protect their families and loved ones from their enemies, "he said making everyone look at the more experienced Green Lanter before turning to look at the blonde who seemed to want to say something. "As you already know my name is Naruto Uzumaki, but you can call me Green Lantern if you prefer" he said with a smile on his face.
After performing with all of them, Naruto was guided along with all the other kids through almost all the Hallf of Justice, the tour was quiet because he just kept quiet while trying to learn as much as possible about the planet where he was, and he knew a lot about the planet because of his ring but he wanted to know more from another source of information, since the information that had given him his ring of power was not as true or accurate as the one he was learning directly from the Batman named and his friends.
The tour took a quick end when the members of the League said they had to leave to try to find out why four supervillains which was the term they used to call people with superpowers that were dedicated to commit all kinds of criminal acts . And according to Batman they had to find out why four villains with ice powers decided to attack the fours on the same day and almost at the same time. When the members of the League were about to leave a small dispute began between the named Green Arrow and the named Speedy who had become angry because the members of the League did not take them to the true place where they met in truth since he knew that the true headquarters of the Justice League was a huge satellite that was in orbit around the earth which they called the Watchtower and that the Hall was only a facade to keep the villains and the public away from the true headquarters of the League. So seeing that he was not being treated with the respect that he deserved speedy decided to leave but not without first telling Green Arrow that he resigned as his partner against Crime.
After the little drama happened all the members of the League were about to leave again but they had to stop when two of their many companions called to inform them that they needed their help, one called saying that he needed the help of members of the League to stop a fire in a place called Cadmus, while the other called to inform them that one of their many enemies wanted to seize the Sun and thus end all life on the planet. So deciding that the sun problem was more important than the fire in Cadmus Batman decided that all the members of the League would go to the sun to stop the Supervillain, but before leaving he turned to all the boys and told them that they they would stay in the Hall of Justice since none of them including Naruto himself was not prepared for such a mission. The blonde saw that all the teachers, including his partner Green Lanter, agreed with the ones Batman said that made him a little angry, he was a Green Lanter in training and a proud Shinobiano, he was sure that a supervillain would not be a rival to He and his powers but still he decided to comply with the order of his superior and stay with the other apprentices.
So now Naruto was leaning against a wall as he listened as all the apprentices complained about the secrets kept by their fellow heroes. "What is Project Cadmus?" I ask the making everyone stop complaining and stare at him. "Before your other partner called, what you call Superman mentioned something about a fire in Cadmus, I imagine it must be something important if he calls to ask for help from the Justice League" he said as he watched as the people kept throwing photos at him as if he were a fish in an aquarium or a type of animal in a zoo.
"Project Cadmus, I do not know what it is, but I can find out" Robin said as he walked to the computer that was in the Hall of Justice and began to tackle quickly, a few seconds after he started looking at the computer and spoke He told him that he did not have the necessary access to that kind of information. The blonde saw that instead of getting depressed, Robin took it as a challenge and started hacking the computer, a few seconds later he found all the information he was looking for. "Very well here it says that project Cadmus, is only a genetic laboratory that is right here in DC, but if Batman suspects of them enough to keep all this information in secret and as our new friend said that must be something very important if the members of the League were willing to go all towards there to investigate a simple fire "he said while smiling. "So I think we should do some research while they are working to prevent the sun from being stolen."
"Solving the case before them, that would be poetic justice" said Aqualad making his friends smile. "That would be good, but they told us not to move from here" he said a little frustrated at being treated like a child by his king.
"Yes but that was said for the mission of the Sun" Naruto said calling everyone's attention again. "Hey, I know that I am the new one on this planet and in this thing of the heroes, but if something I have learned during my short time like a flashlight is always to trust my instincts and my instincts tell me that in that place called Cadmus something strange happens, something that should not be happening, so I do not know about you but I'll go investigate "the blond spoke making everyone look at him with eyes a little open for what he said.
"Wait, you're going to Cadmus?" Kid Flash asked as he moved quickly and stood next to Naruto who nodded. "Then if it's like that I'll go too" he said before looking at his friends. "I do not know you guys but I think Naruto is right, Cadmus has to be much more than he seems to be if Batman and the League were willing to put out a simple fire, also if he plans to go I go with him, you know, he's new here and could get lost on the way "he said making Naruto frown a little but still said nothing.
Aqualad watched as Robin nodded in agreement with what the blonde and Kid Flash had said. "So this is just like that?" I ask him making everyone nod. "Then we will be a team on a mission, and I also agree with what Speedy said, we did not come here to lie to us or take us to visit the museum, so that's why we four go to Cadmus project see what really happens in that place "he said before starting to walk and leave the Hall of Justice, a small smile appeared on the face of the blond before following the boys.
Proyecto Cadmus.
As soon as the three heroes and the Green Lanter in training arrived at the scene they saw how the fire was consuming the whole building quickly, the blond Lanter saw Kid Flash run out and started up a wall to try to rescue Two men who went flying due to an explosion. He also saw that Kid Flash managed to save both men and place them on the roof of the building, but as soon as he did he started to slide down the wall so he had to hold on to the window where the two men had flown out, that had caused him also to be in danger and that now he who had to be rescued.
Seeing his friend's position, Aqualad sighed before speaking. "Because he always has to run away?" he asked Naruto who was right next to him. "We need a plan," he said as he looked at Robin. The Atlantean's eyes widened a little when he saw that his other companion had disappeared. "Where did he go?" he asked while looking everywhere and could not find it.
"He left just as you started talking," the blond said as he watched the Firemen try to lower the men from the roof. "I think those people need our help," he said before using his añillo to fly off to men in distress. Standing near the burning building, the blonde used his ring to create a large green platform. "Jump, do not be afraid" he said as he looked at the scared men, both men looked at each other before nodding and jumping towards the platform that the blonde had created, after both men jumped the blond and placed them under the near the Firemen and away from danger.
"Thank you Green Lantern" said one of the Firemen while smiling at the blonde who smiled back.
Aqualad nodded satisfied for what the blond had done, walking towards him he spoke. "Well done friend, now we go for our companions" he said as he took out his Waterbearers and used the water from the hoses to get through the window through which Kid Flash had entered after having removed the danger in which he was stuck .
Seeing this, the blond used his ring and began to slowly bole until he entered the building. When he entered he found Robin hacking the computer of the place, Kid flash reviewing some documents and Aqualad walking through the corridors apparently looking for something. Suddenly all heard a sound and saw that it was an elevator which should not be in operation and less in a place of two floors, so using their powers Aqualad opened the elevator box and discovered that the place was much larger of what it appeared to be.
Deciding that everyone should investigate how deep the place was, Robin used one of his hooks to start descending, the Wonder Boy was followed by Kid Flash and Aqualad who also used the hook while Naruto used the flying ability that allowed him to ring to descend behind his companions, the four descended on the spot until Robin's rope ended at the level 26 which caused everyone to enter that level, before anyone asked Robin to open the door He had already begun to hack it and after a few seconds he managed to open the elevator door that gave him entrance to level 26, one by one they started to enter and explore the place but before Naruto could enter he stopped when something called his attention, turning to his companions he spoke. "You keep going, I reach you now," he said as he began to descend rapidly. On the other hand Robin, Aqualad and Kid Flash shrugged their shoulders and decided to let the blonde continue on his own, after all of the four he was the only one who could fly
Naruto continued descending until he reached the South level 35 where he saw that the door of that place was open, entering he began to walk and explore the place, at first glance he could see what the place was a laboratory of some kind where they could see a variety of blood samples from different people, he also noticed that none of the samples or the photos they had coincided with the names and faces of the people Hal had told them were part of the League, It made him understand that these people were not heroes, but they seemed to be very important people if these people were playing with their blood and their DNA While walking the blond saw more than fifteen bodies lying on the ground, all of which seemed to have been torn by some kind of ferocious animal, each and every one of them had a missing part, some of them even had their throats flayed.
Hearing a growl behind him, he turned and saw what looked like a white tiger with black lines, the tiger had red eyes, he also had an arm in his mouth which was still dripping with blood, another thing he noticed. It was that the tiger was big enough to carry several people at the same time, the blond watched as the tiger took a step towards him while swallowing his arm completely. "Easy kid, I'm not here to hurt you or hurt you" he said but the animal did not seem to listen, he just kept walking towards him with hostile intentions.
Planting the feet firmly on the ground the tiger gave a loud roar which destroyed a large part of the laboratory where both were. Naruto had used his arms to protect his eyes and the face of objects that flew in his direction when the tiger gave the loud roar, when he removed the arms of his face the tube that create a shield with his ring to be able to prevent the animal ripped his head, pushing the tiger back the blond flew as high as he could to get away from the wild animal. "Easy kid, I'm not your enemy," he said as he raised his hands so the tiger could see that he did not want to hurt him or hurt him.
The blonde's eyes opened when the tiger began to cover itself with blue rays which he threw against him, using his ring the blond created a wall in front of him to stop the rays. When the attack of the animal calmed down he transformed the wall into a large whip which he placed around the animal's neck, using his superior strength he drew the tiger towards him and when the tiger was nearby he hit him and sent him against the ground From the laboratory with such force that the whole place shuddered, using his ring he created a giant mallet and tried to hit the fallen animal. But unfortunately for the east he recovered quickly and moved before the mallet could hit him.
After getting up from the ground the tiger began to run around the room before jumping on a couple of tables and throwing himself into the air, already in the air starting to spin rapidly which caused it to generate what looked like an electric drill which He shot out at the blonde. Naruto created another shield to protect himself from the drill, but his eyes filled with disbelief when he saw how the tiger crossed his shield easily and would have killed him if he had not descended to the ground. "What kind of animal is this, he is not only faster than a normal animal but he is stronger and apparently more intelligent" thought when he saw how the tiger stopped spinning and landed on the ground and in front of him . "From the marks I could see under his fur he seems to have been used as a test subject for some kind of investigation, which leads to his putting that caused his strange abilities" said while using his ring to create a spear rockets, pointing it against the animal is shot, his eyes narrowed a little when he saw the tiger jump in the air where the genre lightened and threw him against him. "What was that?" thought as he looked at one of the tiger's hind legs.
Taken a nearby desk Naruto threw it against the animal which jumped to dodge said object, pointing his ring against the tiger the blond created a large cage with which the achievement to catch the black and white animal, concentrating a bit the began to do that the cage slowed down slowly until the tiger became uncomfortable and uncomfortable, after that he moved his hand causing the cage to expand a little and four chains to come out of each of the corners of the cage and to wrap them in each of the extremities of this, moving his arm a little the cause that a green arm appeared and strongly held the head of the tiger. Approaching one of the back legs of the animal the blond saw that what he had embedded in it was a piece of metal. "This is what has been bothering you huh?" I asked while touching the thing which caused the animal to growl a bit, but unlike the other grunts this one seemed more like pain than anything else. "Quiet, I know this hurts but you have to get it out so try to hold it a bit" he said before starting to take out the piece of metal.
The blond growled in pain when the tiger covered his whole body with electricity and began to attack him, but even so he did not give up and kept pulling the bar from the body of the tiger. After a few painful seconds for both of them, the blonde managed to get the piece of metal which is about four or five inches long and about two wide, looking at the tiger he could not help his eyes opened a little when he saw that the wound in the leg of the tiger began to close faster than it should, he saw that the healing factor of the tiger was almost as fast as his, throwing the piece of metal aside the blond away from the animal before to release him from his bonds.
He saw how the tiger shook a bit, he seemed to be a little more relieved but still he seemed to want to keep fighting, so raising his hand again the blonde took a couple of steps back to talk. "As I told you I do not want to fight against you" he said as he looked at him, the attention of the blond went to another place when he felt a strong tremor that shook the whole place, but the funny thing was that the tremor did not come under the top , from where he had left the other boys, hearing a familiar sound he saw how the tiger was completely covered with electricity again. "Hey I do not have much time to lose with you, my ... comrades" he said a little doubtful about that part, they said they were a team but they all seemed to be on their own, returning to reality he looked at the animal who had reassured a little. "They seem to be in trouble and I have to go help them, so there is the door, you can do what you want," he said before turning around and flying quickly out of the lab.
Aqualad was lying on the ground while being beaten savagely by what seemed to be a Superman clone, the boy who was hitting him had the designation of Superoboy so they decided to call him, unfortunately as soon as they released him from the place where the was he began to fight against them, he had not said a single word, the only thing he had done since he was released was hit him and each of his friends. The Atlante crossed his arms over his face to protect himself from the blows of the boy dressed in white. Suddenly he saw how a green light passed over him and took the boy off.
"Who is your new friend?" Naruto asked while keeping the black haired boy pressed against a wall.
Aqualad rose from the ground with the help of Robin and Kid Flash who came to their aid after they themselves had recovered a bit from the blows that the clone had given them. "The boy seems to be a clone of superman, but he seems that is not all right in the head" he said as he watched as Superboy broke the wall behind him to escape.
The boy returned to appear but this time through the wall that was on the right side of them, the blond jump in the air and let Aqualad hit the boy in the face and send him where he had come, but apparently that it only made him angry even more since he threw himself at them again and tried to take the dark skinned boy from the neck, but fortunately for the sea boy, Robin threw a couple of his specs and covered the angry kid with a gas not lethal green color which disorganized him for a few seconds. Kid Flash took these seconds to run to the clone and hit him in the face a couple of times before going back to run and give space to his dark-skinned partner who used his Waterbearers and transformed them into a giant hammer which he used to shoot down to Superboy.
Using his ring the blonde formed a giant hand and caught the boy. "Easy kid, we just want to help you" he said as he watched as the boy was trying to free himself from his bonds. Everyone had to cover their faces when Superboy managed to free himself from the creation that Naruto had formed and as soon as he did he threw himself at the Atlantean again.
Superboy hit the dark-skinned boy and sent him against a wall where he was unconscious, moving his arm the subject Robin's leg who had tried to hit him on the head, quickly turning the throw to the boy like a projectile against his other friend who was coming running towards him. After that he jumped against the blond and tried to knock him down by hitting him in the face, but his eyes widened as the boy dressed in green and black stopped his fist easily with one hand.
"Surprised" Naruto asked as he squeezed the boy's hand who growled in pain. "And that you still have not seen anything" he said before bringing the boy a little closer to him, taking by the neck he flew out and crashed the clone against the ceiling before turning and doing the same but this time against the ground, rising up he flew to a wall and proceeded to crash Superboy's body over and over again until the boy was semi-conscious, after that he hit the clone in the face before sending him to roll on the floor where the boy dressed in White was left lying. "Now stay down and do not get up," he said before starting to walk towards his supposed companions who were lying on the ground unconscious.
When the blonde was about to help Robin and Kid Flash stopped when he heard how Superboy got up from the floor, turning the blonde saw how the boy was seeing him with his eyes full of hate. "Shit you're insistent and-" the blonde could not keep talking as Superboy had moved faster than before and hit him in the face leaving him unconscious as well as everyone else.
Naruto slowly opened his eyes only to discover that he was inside a kind of glass tank which held him prisoner, feeling something in his wrists he looked up to see that they were fastened to the wall behind him, looking towards the He could see the others in the same situation as him while Superboy was standing in front of him while staring at him. "Do not look at me that way, that's a little disturbing" he said but he did not get any reaction or response from the other guy who just stood there while watching him. "Tell me, can you or do you know how to talk?" I ask but as before this one did not say anything.
Both boy looked to the sides when they saw how the others began to wake up. "What? What do you want? Why do not you have here?" I ask Kid Flash as soon as he woke up, but he, like Naruto, did not get an answer from the Clone. "Stop looking at me like this you're scaring me" Kid Flash said while looking at the clone who still did not speak.
"Hey KF, why do not you stop being irritated at who can literally fry us with their eyes" Robin said while trying to reassure his friend to avoid the clone killing them.
"We just wanted to help you, that's why we released you" Aqualad said while looking at the boy in white. "Do not say anything Kid" he rebuked his friend who was about to speak, they were already in a bad situation and he did not want Kid Flahs to make everything worse, he knew that the boy had good intentions but he did not know how to control His mouth, which was demonstrated when he made fun of Naruto's name and almost made the blonde murder him. "I think our new friend was not in control when he taunted us," he said as he looked at Superboy who turned his gaze to the ground.
"How about ... what if I was not, what would happen if I told them I could not control my body" he said while still looking at the ground.
"He can talk" Kid Flash said surprised and shaken which caused everyone to look at them with a little frown especially Superboy. "That, at least I did not tell him that" he tried to defend himself but the only thing he did was make it worse.
"Yes, he can talk" Superboy said a little more angry than before.
Naruto would have hit his forehead if he could use his hands, he knew it was only a matter of time before Kid Flash said something that got them in trouble, the boy did not seem to know what subtlety or delicacy was. "Hey buddy do not hear it and just ignore it" he said making the boy look at him. "He can not control his mouth well, I can give you faith and testimony of that, you knew that I almost freed his shoulders from his head because of that" he said making a strange smile appear on the face of the boy dressed in white. "So just ignore him and just listen to the others"
From his place Aqualad nodded at what Naruto said. "Green Lantern is right," he said, drawing attention back to him. "I think the G-Gnomes taught you to talk"
"They taught me many things, thanks to them I can read, write, I know the name of things and their forms," he said as he began to remember everything the G-nome taught him during the time he was in your solar capsule.
"But have you seen them?" asked Robin while looking at him. "Have you ever been allowed to see the sky or the sun?"
"The images are implanted in my head, but no, I have never seen them" he said while looking at the ground again.
"You know what you are, or rather, who are you?" Aqualad asked the most important question for both him and the boy.
"I am Superboy, a Genomorph, created partly from the DNA of Superman, I was built to replace him in case he dies, or in case you have to eliminate him if he rebels against The Light" he said as he surprised the three Superheroes . While this was happening Naruto just kept quiet and listening to everything, he had already freed his hands and legs from his bras, he was just waiting for the right moment to attack.
"Being like Superman is a worthy aspiration, but like Superman you deserve a life of your own, out of that solar suit, out of the cage where you were subjected, outside Cadmus" Aqualad spoke trying to make the boy join them and released them before Cadmus made who knows what with them.
Superboy looked at the blond-haired boy before speaking as he seemed the smartest of all and the one who seemed kinder. "I was raised by Cadmus, I am alive thanks to them, so this is my home."
"You say home to a test tube" Naruto spoke quietly, he had already devised an escape plan for him and the others, but the first would try to talk to the boy and have him trust him to release them and they escaped without attracting much attention or without having to fight, it was not that he could not beat the clone, he knew that he could beat him and even destroy him if necessary but he did not want that, at least not for now. you're telling the truth Superboy, I'm sure that inside you deep inside you want to get out of here and know the real world, see things with your own eyes and not dare brain implants "said the blonde while looking at him. "Just a little more, we just need a bit and we can get out of here" he thought as he looked at the undecided boy". If you help us get out of here I can show much more than the images they implanted in your head, even if you want I can show you the sun or even the Superman himself" he said while the face of astonishment that the boy had put.
"Well technically it would be the moon since it's nighttime outside" Kid Flash said just to receive a hard look from the Green Lantern. "I'm sorry" he apologized to the blonde before turning his gaze away.
"I, I do not know, I'm not sure about this" he said a little doubtful about whether he should help these people or not, but something inside him, he did not know the one that told him to release them, to free them and accompany them , that this was his opportunity to see the person he most longed to know and thus be able to see the outside world with his own eyes.
"As Green Lanter said, if you help us get out of here we can get you to meet Superman, I'm sure he would be happy to see you," Robin said with a smile. He could see that with that last thing he said the boy was ready to help them and free them.
But unfortunately for them their hopes that Superboy would help them went down the drain when the room began to fill with people from Cadmus, people who decided that they would clone them all before getting rid of all of them. Forever. A serious look was placed on the blond's face as he looked at the man who appeared to be apparently in charge. "Sorry friend but that will never happen" Naruto said as he let go of the shackles that had him pinned to the wall, using his superior strength he broke the glass and threw himself at his enemies.
As soon as the man in charge saw this, he ordered the G-Gnomes to suppress the blond's mind, but before they could do anything they were sent flying when Naruto created a big fan that sent them flying to all, turning He used his ring to create a hammer and destroy the Kid Flash and Aqualad capsules since Robin had freed himself. After releasing his companions the blonde looked directly at Superboy who had been watching him while he did everything. "This is the time to decide Superboy, so what do you prefer, a life within these walls to become a weapon of destruction or a life in the surface world where you could meet Superman and together help to save many people "he said as he offered his hand to the clone.
Superboy thought about it for a few seconds, during that time he heard again the same voice in his head that told him to take the offer of the Green Lantern, nodding the dare the blond's hand with his. "Okay, I'll go with you and I'll help you get out of here" he said with a small smile on his face.
Naruto smiled too when he heard the boy's response. "It's good to hear that because now we have to run," he said as he watched as the man and all the strange creatures began to rise from the ground.
The five began to run quickly to find an exit could take them out of Cadmus, which was not easy because of the immensity of the place and the large number of corridors and tunnels that he had, but fortunately for them Robin had hacked all the Both surveillance systems and those of motion sensors use them to give false clues to their positions. After fifteen minutes of being guided by Superboy they all saw a possible exit from the place, but before they could reach this a large steel door closed in front of them and prevented them from running on.
Superboy and Aqualad looked at the great and imposing door and tried to open it while the blonde used his ring to try to tear it down, which was becoming impossible for them, no matter how hard they exerted on the door none of the three could move it if a centimeter. "Robin is your turn" said Kid Flash while he could hear the footsteps of his enemies very close, if they could not open the door quickly they would be trapped again.
Robin looked at the huge door for a few seconds before looking at his partner. "It's impossible, I can not hack it so fast."
"You are kidding, right?" Naruto asked while looking at him. "You have been able to hack every system and computer on your way and now you are telling me that you can not hack this door and open it" he said as he stopped what he was doing since it did not matter what he did the door did not yield not a bit.
"I did not say I could not, I just could not do it that fast, I also think we're running out of time," he said as he turned to see Dubbilex and a large number of the Genomorphs begin to corner them.
The blonde's eyes narrowed as the G-Gnome horns began to glow and all began to fall unconscious to the ground. "That's strange, because you're not affected by the G-Gnome" asked the biggest G-Gnome of all, he also seemed like he was the only one who could speak.
Naruto shrugged as he looked at the blue man. "Who knows, because we did not find out about this hateful place," he said as he prepared his ring to fight.
"I'd like to accept your offer but now I do not have time for that," he said as he looked at the clone and made his horns begin to glow. "I think for the sake of our brother Superboy he should decide for himself", he said as he connected his mind with that of Superoboy and the other G-Gnomes that were close to them.
Superboy's eyes widened when he recognized the voice as the same voice that had been guiding him all the way here. "It was you" that said the Clone of the greatest hero a little surprised. "You are the one who has been guiding me to this place".
"That's right, brother, I lit the fire and brought all your new friends to this place to see what was really happening in Cadmus, I was also the one who woke them when they were in danger" said with his serious face .
"¿You led them, but why?" Superboy asked while looking at him.
"What is happening here, because none of them moves or attacks us" thought the blonde while watching as everyone stood still, as if they had all been frozen in place, he had also noticed that Superboy and the Blue man stared at each other.
Not knowing what was going through Naruto's head, Dubbilex continued his conversation with his brother. "Because you are our hope, the Genomorph hero, you are the hope that we have to be able to leave this place, you will be the one who guides us towards our new freedom" said while making the G-Gnome that was on Guardian's shoulder went away and freed the man from the mind control under which they had him, he also caused the G-Gnome to wake the unconscious children. "¿What is your choice brother?" asked as he looked at the boy.
"I choose, freedom," said while watching Dubbilex who nodded and released all the memories of Guardian, memories that he himself had suppressed by order of the people in charge of Cadmus.
After everyone woke up they could see how the hero known as Guardian who was apparently confused started asking questions about what was happening and why the boys were in Cadmus. All the questions of the man were answered quickly by Aqualad and Robin and after they had informed him of everything that happened Aqualad approached him and placed a hand on his right shoulder causing him to look directly into his eyes. "What will you do now that you are free from the control of Cadmus Guardian?" Aqualad asked while looking at the blonde.
"You guys go, I'll deal with Desmond," he said as he looked at the boys.
"I do not think that's going to happen," Desmond said as he appeared behind everyone with a vial in his hand. "The Blockbuster project will give me the power to restore order here in Cadmus and place all of you in their proper place, none of you will leave here alive" he said before proceeding to take all the liquid from the bottle he had in his hands They all witnessed the slow and painful transformation that man was suffering, none of them could do anything other than observe the transformation by which the scientist was passing, a few seconds of pain and screams after all saw the new appearance of man .
"Man, instead of giving you power that made you uglier" said Kid Flash while looking at the horrible creature in which the man had become. Everyone watched as Guardian threw himself bravely against Blockbuster to try to stop him, but with a single movement of the creature's arm the hero ended up on the unconscious floor.
Blockbuster gave a loud roar before launching against all, Naruto was the first to counterattack, the blond used his ring and took the man by the waist before hitting the ground a couple of times, throwing him in the air he saw as Superboy I take the feet and sent him to the ground, already in the ground demolished Aqualad used his weapons and transformed them into a mallet which he used to hit the man and send him towards the door.
When Blockbuster's body hit the door this active barias bombs that Robin had placed in it, Kid Flash ran to the knocked down Blockbuster but stopped when he got up quickly from the ground, he only had two seconds to turn around and avoid the great fist of the man who was waiting for him. Superboy seeing this ran to his enemy to shoot him down again, but unfortunately for Blockbuster he stopped him with one hand while using the other to hit him in the stomach and then in the back which caused the steel boy to fall to the ground below. Raised his leg Blockbuster had the intention of destroying the boy's head on the ground, but before he could get it a green rodeo cocoon and protected the clone. Looking up he saw the green lantern who had been the one who had created the cocoon to protect the other boy, so using the cocoon as a trampoline he threw himself against the blond.
But what Blockbuster never expected was that two smoke grenades would crash into his face and prevent him from seeing the blond boy. Thanks to the smoke that had watered all over the place was that Blockbuster could not see how Aqualad was running towards him, leaping the Atlantean hit him hard in the face with a big mallet that he had created. "We have to find a way to get out of here" Naruto said while desaprecia the cocoon that protected Superboy. "This place is too narrow for me to use all my power" he said as he formed a freight train and sent it against a newly incorporated Blockbuster.
Blockbuster surprised everyone when he stopped the blond's projection easily and before it could undo it Blockbuster pulled him towards him and sent him back where he came from after hitting him hard in the face, after that in transformed scientist he gave a strong roar followed by a great jump with which he pierced the roof above them. Following the example of the Monster all jumped and came out through the same hole he had created, after everyone left all grouped together again and they could see that they were on the first floor of the Cadmus project and Blockbuster was facing them while blocking the exit with his huge body.
As soon as Aqualad and Superboy saw Blockbuster, they threw themselves at him without even devising a plan or a strategy of fighting, they just threw themselves in front of the man who was clearly stronger than everyone, at least in the physical aspect. Seeing this Naruto was about to go and help the boys but the tube to stop when he felt intense pain in his right side, the blond let out a small grunt when an incredible wave of pain ran through his body and forced him to fall from knees, a small amount of blood left his lips and fell on the ground where he was. Seeing this, Kid Flash ran to his friend and helped him to his feet. "Hey old are you okay?" he asked a little worried as he looked at the blonde.
Naruto nodded as he wiped the blood from his lips. "Yeah, at least better than the two of them," he said when he saw Blockbuster destroy a pillar with Superboy's body before using that guy as a bat to hit Aqualad and send him to destroy a wall. "I just need a little air that's all, you go and help them" he said as he leaned his back on a pillar behind him.
"You're sure of this, you do not seem to be very well" he said doubtful, he could see that the blond had a slightly pale face, he also saw that he seemed to be suffering a bit since he was holding tightly his right side.
"If I'm fine, what you see here is nothing, while I was trained in Oa I ended up in worse conditions than this one, so do not worry I'll be fine after a little rest," he said as he played down the pain that he was feeling on his right side. Kid Flash saw the look full of confidence and confidence in the face of the blond so he nodded before running to the fight. "As for you, you have to find a way to stop this monster, but we will all be lost," he said as he looked at Robin who appeared behind him as if he were some kind of shadow or ghost.
Robin could not hide his surprise when he saw that the blond seemed to know that he was after all this time. "How did you know I was there?" he asked surprised, only Batman knew when he moved in the shadows and that is only because he was the one who trained him, apart from him nobody never noticed or noticed when he moved in the shadows or when he appeared from they.
"If we get out of this life alive I'll tell you while we have a beer" Naruto said as he looked at him, just like before he went into Cadmus building he had noticed when the boy moved, no matter how quiet Whether this is or how subtly he does it he could never move without him noticing.
Robin stared at the blond who despite everything that was happening in front of him and his precarious condition he remained in complete calm, he saw that unlike some of them he had not even started to sweat, looking at the This guy's eyes saw that he was staring at Blockbuster's movements as if he was looking for a weakness to explode. Robin left his thoughts when he saw how his three friends were sent at full speed against a pillar by an angry Blockbuster. "That's it," he said as he made a holographic map of the building where they stood. "Naruto I already know what to do, but for that I need everyone to be gathered here so I can tell my plan"
"I think that will be a bit difficult right now," he said when he saw Blockbuster get upset more than before after Superboy and Aqualad dropped a couple of desks on his head which sent him to the ground. After getting up the man began to run quickly against the three heroes. But before he got close to them Naruto saw how the same tiger he had faced before came out of the hole and attacked the man directly to the face. "Oh crap, what was missing," he said as he watched as the tiger threw the man against the wall before generating an electric shock and sending it against him.
"Your friend?" Robin asked as he watched the tiger turn and stare at Naruto.
"I do not think so" the blond said before creating a shield in front of them to protect them from a lightning bolt thrown at them by the black and white tiger. "As I said, I do not think so," he said as he watched Blockbuster launch himself against the animal and both began to fight each other.
"Anyway, he's on our side for now, so we should take this opportunity and distraction to help others and tell them my plan" he said making the blonde nod, creating a little whistle the blond used to draw attention of the others who were not fighting.
After a small strategy meeting everyone knew what they had to do to be able to make Robin's plan succeed. A few seconds later everyone was playing the game of him cat and mouse with Blockbuster who chased them all over the place while trying to hit them. While the transformed man was chasing them to kill them they were playing with him and dodging all the attacks of the tiger who attacked anyone who was close to him, giving a small jump Naruto smiled when he caused Blockbuster to destroy another of the pillars that had the place, looking around him saw that almost all the pillars that held the roof in place were destroyed, and those that were not destroyed by the monster were destroyed by their companions.
When the last of the pillars fell the entire roof began to fall on them. Kid Flash and Robin were protected by Aqualad and Superboy who used their body to prevent the debris from falling on them, while Naruto in turn managed to create a small dome which would protect them all from the rubble.
In a matter of seconds everything that was the Cadmus laboratory collapsed, everything that was once a large two-story laboratory now was just a pile of rubble lying on the ground, and from those debris came Naruto, Kid Flash, Aqualad , Robin and Superboy, all were alive and safe which caused the young heroes to celebrate a bit since they were not only alive but also they were able to defeat a powerful enemy and despite their wounds and bruises they felt happy to be alive.
Grarrr
The happiness of the boys stopped when they heard a familiar sound, turning around they saw how the black and white tiger was standing behind them after leaving under the rubble, the tiger seemed not very happy after they would drop a whole two-story building on top, covering his entire body with electrical energy, he prepared to fight the boys again while showing them all his pointed and sharp teeth.
A scream of annoyance came from Naruto's lips when he saw that the tiger was still alive and wanting to keep fighting all of them. "Man, you do not know when to surrender truth" Naruto said as he sat on the floor with his hands touching the floor and before the tiger could do something a green cage came out of the ground and imprisoned him. "Ha, that happens to you for lowering the guard" said the blonde while watching as the tiger began to hit the cage to try to get out of it.
While Naruto kept the animal root all the others sighed happily that they would not have to fight against him, they were already very tired after their escape and their fight against Blockbuster as to have to face a modified animal genetically and surgically, all less Superboy were sitting on the ground resting, while he was standing with his eyes fixed on the moon. The clone of Superman had realized that seeing things through his own eyes was much better than seeing them through the images implanted in his head, everything had a different brightness to the images, even the moon saw that it was bigger and much more beautiful than the G-Gnome had implanted in his head.
Kid Flash got up from the floor and approached the dark haired boy, placing a hand on his shoulder he spoke. "It's more beautiful than the images you do not believe," he said as he looked at the astonished boy. His eyes were filled with joy when he saw a man slowly descending from heaven towards them. "And that's Superman, so tell me we keep our promise or not," he said as he watched as the man considered a God descended from the sky slowly to be a few meters away from them.
The blonde was a little encouraged when he heard what Kid Flash had said, after listening to Harol jordan speak for two months of him and all his friends he could not deny that he was a little anxious to meet the man of steel, the man considered a god and who supposedly was the last living Kryptonian, turning he looked up and saw that superman was not the only one who approached them. His eyes narrowed a little when he saw everyone he supposed belonged to the justice league descend and stand in front of them.
Superboy was the first to take the first step, the boy walked almost to where he was the man he was cloned, when he was near he fixed a bit his solar suit which had been torn a bit, when he He did all they could see the shield on the chest of the boy, the same shield that Superman carried in his chest. Superman's eyes widened a little before they narrowed a little in anger.
Before Superman said something Batman who had been brought by Hal God stepped forward and spoke. "Is that what I think it is?" Batman asked as he narrowed his eyes too.
"He does not like being told that" Kid Flash said quietly but still he was heard by everyone.
"I'm a Superman Clone" Superboy said a little annoyed by the look that the man had given him, since he had memory his biggest dream was to work with Superman and be like him, a hero who would protect the innocent and end up with the crime, but seeing the man's gaze he was beginning to think that that would not be possible.
Everyone except what they already knew was surprised when they heard what the boy had told them all, they could not believe that Superman had a clone, nobody had ever imagined that something like this could happen, The Night Knight narrowed his eyes until it only looked like two small slits while looking at the boy he had trained. "Robin ... start talking, now" he ordered.
For almost half an hour Robin and Aqualad were telling Batman and all members of the League everything they had gone through and what they had done and discovered while they were in Project Cadmus, all the while Naruto just kept quiet while He observed all the different reactions that the Superheroes put as they listened to the stories of their classmates. Just a few minutes ago he had passed the control of the animal caged to Hal and another Lantern which he did not know, they decided that they would keep him under control until everything was over and they found out what they would do with him, since he was too dangerous to have it in a zoo, and they could not release it in the jungle or anywhere else because they did not know what was the scope of their powers or if this was a danger to all people.
After hearing all that had happened, Batman joined all his fellow founders of the Justice League to see what their next plan of action would be, the meeting lasted a few minutes while they discussed everything the boys had done and discovered. while they were in Project Cadmus. After they had heard the story of Robin and Aqualad and before starting their meeting they had ordered their other colleagues to take care of taking the unconscious body of Blockbuster to a place where it could not hurt anyone or cause any kind of problem. The second Green Lanter had taken control of only the cage that held the tiger, he was about to take it to a place where he would be locked until they decided what they would do with him. But before the cage was lifted off the ground it broke free and ran to a Naruto who was back to him, hitting the blond the tiger sent him rolling on the ground before jumping on him and placing his face very near the boy.
Naruto gave a small grunt when he felt as the tiger sent him rolling on the ground before standing on him and start to growl dangerously, he saw that any false step and throat could end up being the dinner of the fierce animal on him. Batman together with Superman were ready to go and help the boy but they stopped when he raised his hand to stay in their place, after that they saw how he looked at the tiger directly in the eyes without a hint of fear in them. "Hey, I know you and I start on the wrong foot, but if you do not eat me and you have another chance I think we can be friends" he said while smiling at the black and white animal.
The tiger stared at Naruto for a few seconds before giving him what looked like a snort, getting up from the blond this one sat next to him before lying down completely on the floor while using his front legs as a pillow. Slowly Naruto stood in a sitting position and placed his hand on the tiger's head before beginning to caress it behind the ear, for a few seconds he saw that the tiger seemed to like but the change of mind when he moved his head quickly and quickly. I try to eat his hand. "You're a damn son of" The blond stopped immediately when he saw the tiger begin to growl loudly and cover his body with rays. "Calm boy, everything is fine, everything was my mistake, a mistake that will never happen again" he said as he walked away from the tiger, who returned to lie down.
"Naruto, are you okay?" asked Kid Flash as he approached the blonde.
"Yes, it was just a little misunderstanding between him and me" he said as he pointed to the tiger lying on the ground.
"Good friend it's time to go," Hal said as he prepared with his Companion Lanter to lock the tiger again, but both stopped when Naruto stood in front of them with his hands held high.
"Wait, I think he was already locked up enough, I do not know how he was treated here in Cadmus but I'm completely sure that his treatment was less than human, and I think that if someone starts to treat him well he could be a good fight partner "he said as he looked at the tiger who had fallen asleep, or that was what he wanted people to think.
"You're sure of this Naruto, with your Green Lantern training I do not think you have time to have a partner like that" he said while looking at the blond
"Well Harol Jordan I wanted to talk to you about that too" he said making the man look at him seriously. "I wanted to ask you if it is possible that I could stay here on earth with the other kids, do not get me wrong you are a good teacher but I am sure that I would learn a lot more with them than with you, also with your work in the League and as a Green Lanter I doubt that you have a lot of free time to train me properly "he said as he watched Robin and Aqualad talk among themselves.
Hal watched Naruto with a serious look on his face. "Are you really sure about this Naruto?" he asked as he looked at the boy dressed in green and black.
Naruto nodded as he looked at his mentor. "Yes, just observe what happened here, we alone could stop a monster that had been close to an inhabited city would have killed a large number of people, I believe that with just a little more training they could be a good team which could do many good things and I would like to be part of that team, at least until I finish my training as Green Lanter "
Looking at the blond the first green lantar on earth I speak. "Well, judging by the look of Batman I think that team that you are imagining could be dissolved long before it is formed" he said as he watched as Batman approached them along with the other heroes behind him, the batman had the frowning and an annoyed look on his masked face.
"Cadmus will be investigated, all of its 52 levels," Batman said as he stood in front of them all and looked at them all one by one. "But let's clarify something first, you should have called us before doing something like this, and despite the result we are not happy" he said as he looked at Robin mainly, he would never have thought that he would act on his own and on his back. "You hacked into the Justice League systems, they disobeyed a direct order and put lives in danger, and you will not do that again," he said as he narrowed his gaze at all of them.
"Sorry Batman but we aremos" said Aqualad as he took a step forward, with Robin and Kid Flash. Aquaman did not like the way his protege had confronted his friend, so he ordered him to leave but he refused to do so. "Sorry my king but I will not, tonight we did a good job, the job you all trained us for, together we form something powerful" he said as he looked at the Dark Knight.
Flash looked at the dark-skinned boy who had rebelled against his mentor and King. "If this was what happened in the Hall of Justice then you three." We five, "Robin said as he interrupted the sprinter. Looking at his mentor, he took a couple of steps until he was as close as possible to him without having to enter his personal space. "Batman, we are ready for whatever comes, otherwise it is so they trained us, to spend years training us if they did not let us do the work" he said as he lowered his eyes a little.
"Because let them tell us what to do" said Superboy as he stood in front of everyone, he was a little annoyed by how Superman rejected him and how he had looked when he realized that he was her clone. "It's very simple for me, get on board or get out of the way," he said as he gave Batman a challenging look.
"I agree with Superboy" Naruto said while also standing next to the others. "We have the strength to face powerful enemies, and I may just be a new kid on this planet but I assure you that I am stronger than you think, I also learn faster than anyone" he said as he looked at the Man dressed in black who only looked back.
Four days later
MOUNT JUSTICE
July 8, 08:04 A.M
It had been four days since Naruto along with his friends had infiltrated Cadmus and had beaten Blockbuster, during those four days Naruto had spent trying and trying to be friends with the tiger which he had decided to call Byakko. After investigating a little deeper about the mythology of different places on the planet, he had learned that the name Byakko meant white tiger and that this was also the name of one of the four divine monsters and curiously he represented the lightning element, after to see all that he saw that that name was perfect for the tiger and apparently he liked it a lot because I do not try to eat it. Another thing that had happened during those four days that had passed since he had arrived on the planet and had met the animal was that his relationship with him had improved a bit since now Byakko did not want to attack him at the first opportunity to see him. He wanted to say that he would lower his guard when he was close to him.
Also during the last four days he had been entering both with his ring and his natural abilities, after he was able to convince Harol Jordan to leave him on earth he decided to start entering by himself, as he had done many Sometimes in his home planet, of course the man had only agreed to leave him on earth only if in return he called her Hal as his other friends did.
But now after four long days of just training and taking care that his partner did not eat it while he slept the blonde was with those who would be his teammates, in front of them was Batman and a small group of heroes while that another group was doing repair work in the place they would use as a base of operations and home if necessary.
"This cave was once the headquarters of the Justice League, now we will put it back into service since you five" he began to say but stopped when he heard a growl behind the blond. Turning around they could see Byakko who was sparking a lightning bolt all over his body while looking at Batman. "You six," said Batman, causing the tiger to calm down and sit next to Naruto. "Since the six of you decided to stay together and fight for good regardless of whether we agree or disagree, so after a little thought we decided that you will do it but on our terms and under our conditions" he said as he gave a penetrating look at everyone.
The look of the bat managed to intimidate some of the young heroes but not Naruto, Byakko or Superboy, the three gave Batman an impassive look and without a hint of fear, the blonde had received worse looks from people worse than Batman and never I cowed at them, so if Batman wanted to intimidate him he would have to do something better than a simple look. "Red Tornado volunteered to live here and be their supervisor while Black Canary trained them, while I deployed all the missions that this team will perform"
"Real missions, I suppose?" Naruto asked as he looked at the man.
Batman nodded as he looked at the blond back. "Yes, but covert" the term.
"Of course, the League will handle the obvious things," said Flash, who was standing next to Batman as he looked at everyone. "After all of us, we're the big ones here," he said as he smiled and touched his symbol with pride.
"Cadmus us Provo that the bad guys are getting smarter, so Batman needs a team that can act under the ropes and without attracting much attention" said Aquaman, assuring that the eyes of a certain blonde were narrowed a little, but he He decided to remain silent for now. "So you seven will be that team."
Robin smiled as he looked at the bat and the king of the sea in front of him. "Great, this is what I was. - Wait, you said, sevens?" he asked while looking at his mentor, the surprise was clearly visible on the face of the Wonder Boy.
Listening to footsteps behind them, they all turned to see Martian Manhunter being accompanied by a girl very similar to him, she had brown hair that came up to the middle of her back she also had a white short-sleeved blouse with an X red, along with a blue skirt, a cape, gloves and high boots .. "I want you to meet Martian Manhunter's niece, Miss Martian" Batman said as he pointed to the girl who seemed a little shy for being the center of attention .
"I like this job more and more," Kid Flash said as he approached the girl. "Welcome to the group, I'm Kid Flash and this is Robin and Aqualad, but forget their names they are not important" he said while smiling at the girl who seemed to be a little nervous about the quick closeness of the boy.
Naruto narrowed his eyes a little when he heard how Kid Flash gave so little importance to him that he did not even mention it or to Superboy, another person who also narrowed his eyes was Byakko who, like the blonde, hated being ignored, generating lightning around him from his body he was ready to attack the boy but stopped when Naruto placed a hand on his head. Placing his other hand on the shoulder of the Kryptonian half the blond made a sign to which the boy responded by nodding his head. Turning the three not mentioned began to walk away from the group. They would not be in a place where they would not be appreciated or recognized by their own peers.
Naruto was beginning to think that it was a very bad idea to tell Hal to leave him on the ground to finish his training, the three of them stopped when Batman stepped in front of them preventing them from walking on. "Where do you think they're going?" he asked while looking at them.
"Maybe it's not obvious, I will not be in a place where I do not respect myself or take into account" Superboy said while looking at the man in front of him. "Now move, I want to get out of this place," he said as he looked at the Dark Knight. Batman stared at the Superman Clone, he had noticed that the boy had been angry since he met the man of steel, who by the way always tried to evade the issue of his clone or any mention of it.
"It's a pleasure to meet you all, you do not know how happy I am that you allow me to join your team" Miss Martian said as she looked at the blond boy who was with his back to her. "Who are they?" she asked as she watched the two boys and the black and white tiger who were talking to Batman.
"I'm sorry for that" Robin said as he hit his head with the palm of his hand, he was still not used to the presence of Naruto and Superboy, that's why there were times that he still thought that the only members of the team were him and his friends. "Hey Green Lantern, Superboy come meet Miss Martian" he said making the mentioned ones turn to see the girl.
"Hi" was the only thing Naruto said before turning around again and getting ready to leave. "Come on Byakko it's time to warm up a bit" he said making his partner nod and start walking with him, the blonde and the tiger stopped when Miss Martian slowly came down and stood in front of them.
"Hi, I'm Miss Martian," she said with a small smile on her face.
"Yes, lose" the blond said dryly as he looked at her with a calm and serene look.
"I like your shirt," she said as she made her clothes change a little.
The blonde raised one of his eyebrows when he saw how the girl's cape had disappeared and how his blouse had changed from white to black as well as the T-sher he was wearing, looking good at the girl he gave her a little smile. "And I like yours" he said making her blush a bit and turn her head so he would not see her blush. He would have to find out everything his ring knew about these Martians and their powers. "By the way you can tell me Green Lantern if you want but my real name is Naruto Uzumaki and this is my partner Byakko, but I would advise you not to touch him, he is a bit grumpy when a person tries to touch him".
As if to show that the blonde was completely wrong and to make him look like a liar with the Byakko girl, he approached Miss Martian and started walking nearby while he purred as if he were a little domestic cat. "I fled that cute" said Miss Martian after not being able to fight against the impulses of wanting to caress the giant Tiger, getting on her knees she began to caress him making it give a purr of happiness. Naruto's eyebrow began to tremble violently as he watched how docile Byakko was being, who looked up a little and gave him what looked like a mocking smile.
Ignoring what was going on between the blonde and his feline companion, one by one of the members of the newly formed Team began to gather near him and Miss Martian who was still caressing the tiger. "Today, today is the day" said Aqualad with a big smile on his face. Today would be the one in which they began their journey to become great heroes and defenders of justice.
