Yo! What's up everybody? I'm finally back! I know I've not updated in years, almost 4 years now. For that I'm sorry, I've been terribly busy with life, work, and, well, a lot of other things during my absence. Yet, even though I know I wasn't able to sit down and write, I've never forgotten about this story, it being my first fanfiction here at the site which involved two of my favourite series.
Giving it a re read a few days ago, I noticed how bad my english was at the time and so, since I found some time and a renewed desire to write, I decided to rewrite Naruto: The kryptonian Ninja. I've not only corrected most of the spelling, form and other types of mistakes but also added a lot more of detail and description, making this story (in my oppinion) much better than the original. There'll also be more chapters before Naruto enters the team in Young Justice, as I thought of adding some important events that weren't present in the old version.
For those interested, this will still remain a harem, although a small one. Three girls max, with the possibility of having others interested in our hero. The first one will be Kara (Supergirl), as in the original, and the rest I'll decide as the story progresses.
Finally, a big shout out to Jebest4781 for providing me with some useful ideas for the story and with valuable info I didn't take into account at first.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto nor Young Justice. Both series belong to their respective creators.
Chapter one : The Last Children of Krypton
The space was a cold, dark place where planets coexisted in galaxies, each with its own atmosphere and mass. Some uninhabitable for any living being that relied on oxygen or similar to survive, others so cold or so hot that any fool daring to place a foot on the surface would immediately be frozen or burned to death. It was a dangerous place, indeed, but one of great beauty and full of hidden secrets to discover.
To the man contemplating it all through the windows of the recreational hall of his ship, though, the universe was nothing like Krypton. From its technological wonders, to the majesty of its Sun which tinted the landscapes of the planet with orange and reddish tones, creating an amalgam of colours that could make any other sight look pale in comparison. The man suddenly let out a sigh, running a hand through his blond locks as he tried to erase those images from his mind. The memories of his homeworld were still fresh to him, and the happy life he enjoyed in Krypton with his wife, his son and his friends seemed so distant now...
And yet, it had only been days since it all ended so abruptly. His homeworld was no more. Everyone he knew would probably be dead by now, including Kal's parents, who'd decided to stay back and try to warn the council, despite it being an impossible goal to achieve. The blond man and his wife, Kushi, had tried to convince Jor and Lara to come with them in their space ship, already being aware of Krypton's imminent destruction.
'I'm a scientist', Jor began, shaking his head. 'As a scientist, it's my duty to summit the results of my research to the council and try to convince those fools of our impending doom.'
His wife, Lara, intertwined her hand with his. 'And I will stay with him', her husband looked ready to complain, but she continued before he could. 'I belong here, in Krypton. Besides, my father is part of the council, I can at least try to convince him to talk with the other members.'
Jor sighed in response to his wife's determination before turning to his friend once again. 'Min, I understand how you feel. After all, this is your home as well, and all of us want to protect the life in it', Kal's father stopped for a moment, trying to come up with the appropiate words. There was much to be said and yet not enough time. 'But you wouldn't be running away like a coward. You are a father, my friend, and my son's godfather. Apart from Lara and Kushi you are the only person I can trust right now.'
'How much time do we have until...?', the blond man, whose name was Min-Ran, trailed off, finding himself horrified at the mere mention of Krypton's destruction.
Both of his friends noticed it and exchanged worried looks. 'A few days. A week at most. I've an audience with the council in a few hours, and rest assured I'll present any proof necessary to convince them and begin with the required preparations to evacuate the planet. Hopefully, we'll see each other soon. Brainiac should support me by providing more information about the planet's core status.'
'And if the council refuses to act? Those old fools would try to deny the truth even if every single kryptonian stood against them', Min crossed his arms over his chest. 'I should stay. I'm sure that if you have the house of Ran supporting you they would at least consider it.'
Min couldn't stand the idea of leaving the fate of the planet and its people in the hands of a bunch of senile leaders. He was a kryptonian and the head of the Ran house, a powerful and influential family in Krypton; as such, he had to stay and help in any way he could.
'Your family needs you, Min', it was Lara who now spoke to him, albeit a bit slow, as if emphasising the importance behind her words. 'And so does Kal. It breaks my heart to be apart from him, but I find comfort knowing that he will be safe if our attempts to save Krypton fail.'
'As much as I'd like to have you on my side in the audience, you must leave now before the council finds out about our plan to evacuate the planet and escape its destruction, forbiding you, Kushi, Jin, Kal and anyone else from leaving. If you wait until the audience is over, we'll have to pray that we are successful. Or else...'
Nobody would escape. The council could even accuse them of treason and have them locked in a cell, awaiting the inevitable end. Min still disliked the idea of abandoning his people behind but nodded his head nevertheless. They were right. If everything failed, at least his family and Kal would be safe.
Hours later that day, Min and his family were on board of a huge ship, one that both Min and Jor had built themselves in their youth, as part of their idea to explore the Universe. Both families had remained in contact until the very end, with Kushi keeping Lara informed about Kal and Min discussing new course of actions with Jor that could save Krypton.
To say that Jor's meeting with the council was a complete waste of time would have been an understatement. Not only they refused to believe in his words, the council decided to trust in Brainiac, an artificial intelligence designed by kryptonian scientists to monitor practically everything in the planet, who claimed that there was nothing to worry about. According to it, the earthquakes that frequently occur round the globe were the result of polar changes and would soon stop.
That the elders chose to ignore Jor-El's warnings had sealed Krypton's fate.
Until the very end, Min's friends had tried to do everything in their power to convince Krypton's population, with Jor going as far as to try to access to Brainiac and take the data from it only to discover that the A.I had deliberately lied to escape with all the knowledge accumulated in his data banks. Something that he managed to do as it transported itself into a satellite and escaped the planet just moments before its destruction.
Jor and Lara decided to stay at their home then, resigned to their fate as Min and Kushi spoke to them through the radio in their ship until their last moments.
When it all turned silent in the other end, both knew that Krypton was no more.
They were the last survivors of their race.
Min shook his head, once again trying to erase those memories from his mind. He knew this was not the time to dwell in the past; they still had a week before they got to earth, and even before then, he and his family would have to travel in smaller rocket pods to avoid being detected by Earth's satellites, leaving their vessel before entering the Milky Way. Earth, even if not as technological advanced as Krypton, had many devices at its disposition. By travelling on small ships, they could pass as tiny meteorites and land somewhere with low population.
It pained him to leave such a wonderful ship behind, as it represented kryptonian glory and magnificence. Equipped with a recreational area with a small library and comfortable couchs, two bathrooms, two bedrooms adyacent to one another (one for Min and his wife and the other for the kids), a kitchen connected to a dinner room, a hangar and a control room the vessel could have very well transported more people out from Krypton to safety.
Too bad that nobody would believe Jor-El or Min-Ran.
"Don't you ever get tired of looking through that window?"
Min was broken out of his thoughts by the soft, melodic voice of none other than Kushi Na-Tor, his beautiful wife. His lips curled into a smile, but didn't turn around as he once again focused his sight on the undeniable beauty of the space extending before him. "Well... It gets kinda boring after a few days, but you get used to it, especially when you've read all the books in the library."
The beautiful woman giggled at that and approached her husband, hugging him from behind. She placed her head on his back and sighed, closing her eyes as Min rubbed one of her arms with his hand. "I can't believe they are gone, Min."
"...Me neither", the blond responded quietly, frowning as the memories he had tried so hard to supress returned to his mind. "Do you think I should have stayed? Maybe if I had send you to Earth with Jin and Kal I could have helped Jor and save-"
"Krypton was doomed even before Jor discovered the end was near", her interruption caused Min's eyes to widen for a second. Kushi buried her face in Min's clothes and resisted the urge to growl. "Nothing you may have done would have changed that fact. The council was blind and stupid, and they led our people to death." She hated the council, she'd hated it for as long as she could remember. Its members were fools and imbeciles, who feared change and tried to stick to old traditions and rules to prevent the population from trying to change the form of government.
Kushi never told Jor, but she knew his plan to rely on the council was meant to fail. He and Lara would have better left with them, but now it was too late.
Min turned around and gently pulled away from his wife, gazing into her teary, amethysts eyes that transmitted a different feeling from the venom with which she spoke: she was deeply affected by everything that had transpired, maybe even more so than her husband, but she was strong. She had been strong since then for Jin and Kal, they needed her.
And the man couldn't help but see the truth in her words.
"...You are right, there was practically nothing we could have done", Min began, softly embracing the woman. As she rested her head on his chest, the blond began to stroke her fiery red hair, which went down to her hips and framed both sides of her regal face; she also used a black clip that parted it to the left. "I'm sorry Kushi, it is clear that if I stayed I'd have never seen you or the kids again. I'm thankful we are safe now, and that we'll start a new life at Earth."
Kushi nodded against his chest, sobbing quietly. Her tears left a wet spot on his clothes, but he didn't care. The wound was still fresh in their minds, and they needed time to fully process what had transpired so far. It was then that Min inwardly promised himself to focus on the present, for the sake of his family.
"Daddy? Mummy?", both parents heard the childish voice of their son, Jin-Ran, and pulled away from each other. Kushi began to wipe off the tears from her eyes and cheeks and then turned to her child, an one year old boy with blond, spiky hair and blue eyes.
Jin was the main reason both adults had decided to leave their homeworld behind, apart from their godson of course. He was the future of their race and the joy of Kushi and her husband. They loved him more than anything else in the universe, and to think he had the possibility of living a happy, peaceful life on Earth with them and Kal justified their decision to escape from Krypton.
Min-Ran kissed his wife on the forehead and approached his son, ruffling his hair with a smile. "Hey there buddy. Where's Kal?", he asked while taking a look at their surroundings in search of his godson who would most likely be out of bed by now.
Jin yawned cutely in response and rubbed his little eyes, trying to keep them open. He could barely walk as Kal-El, and apart from a few words like Daddy and Mummy, the baby just mumbled random words incoherently.
Kushi, meanwhile, observed the exchange with a soft smile on her face. Jin had taken after her husband's looks, and had the same hair and eye color. Min too had spiky blond hair but his was a bit longer and had jaw-length bangs framing both sides of his face. While her son's attire consisted on orange pajamas, her husband wore a black and white t-shirt with the symbol of the Ran family, along with grey cargo pants and beige shoes. Kushi's clothes, though, consisted on a simple red dress that stopped just above her knees and a pair of black shoes.
"I think someone must have woken from his nap and couldn't find his friend anywhere", she concluded playfully as she approached her son and lifted him into her arms. "Come on, let's go and look for him, okay?"
The baby nodded and placed his head on her shoulder, finding it hard to stay awake. Min's face tensed a bit with worry as he followed his wife through the ship, looking everywhere for his godson. He knew he couldn't have gone far as most doors could only be opened by him or his wife, but still... the feeling was there. Min and his wife went from the kids' bedroom, to the dinning room, being those the only two places that Kal could've unlocked on his own.
But he was nowhere to be found.
Suddenly, Min and Kushi exchanged worried looks and, with Jin on his wife's arms, ran to the only place that Kal had managed to access before with no adult supervision. Fear soon invaded them as they went through a set of metallic doors, went down a corridor and reached the hangar, noticing that the door leading to it was open.
Both parents were panting by the time they stepped into hangar, which was quite big and spacious. Their eyes roamed the area, going from the four small ships that stood parallel to each other, the computer that had wires attached to each vessel, to the workbench at one side of the room, where they found Kal-El trying to reach some heavy tools with his little fingers.
"There you are!", Min immediately approached his godson and gathered him in his arms, holding the infant like Kushi did with Jin. "Phew, you are quite the adventurer aren't you?"
Kushi let out a breath she didn't know she was holding and smiled in relief. If Jin hadn't woke up when he did and then came to see them, who knows what could have happened to Kal...
A horrible image crossed her thoughts and she shook her head to get rid of it. Luckily, her godson was safe.
"Ow! Don't pull my hair like that Kal, it hurts."
The woman turned her eyes in Min's direction, just in time to see Kal playing with his hair. The image of his godson laughing while the blond tried to escape his little fingers brought an angelic smile to her features as Jin, upon seeing his friend, tried to get his mum to drop him so that he could play with his cousin.
It all happened as the family enjoyed a meal in the dinning room.
They were eating calmly, with both adults watching as the children stuffed their mouths with food, when suddenly a beeping sound coming from the cockpit startled them. Both Min and Kushi stood still for a few moments, staring at each other in silence until the beeping sound repeated itself once again.
Soon, Min ran to the cockpit, telling his wife to watch the kids. The man sat in front of the panel and pressed several buttons, noticing a blinking light that came from one of them; a switch, he noticed, that when activated it would accept incoming transmissions from other ships or planets trying to communicate with them.
It only took him a moment of doubt and curiosity before he decided to activate the switch.
What came next was something that shocked him to the core.
Surrender, children of Krypton. I'm Brainiac, the artificial intelligence that once monitored the condition of your planet and helped your civilization progress in every possible way. I contain the history of all Krypton, and as such, I know all about your species. You must join me. Together, we can search a planet to restore the glory of Krypton once again. But this will only be possible with my help. Join me and complete your ultimate destiny.
Min instantly frowned as he recognized the robotic and monotonous voice of Brainiac, the same A.I that had refused to acknowledge Jor's warning just to save itself and the data it'd gathered over the years. A new feeling flooded his senses as the blond clenched his fists. That was the machine responsible for Krypton's destruction, and now it was clear the machine wanted to fool and probably kill them to eradicate any trace of their race.
"Min? What's going on?"
The man turned around just in time to see Kushi at the entrance, flanked by Kal and Jin, who just looked at him with childish innocence. "Brainiac", he simply answered, before he turned back to the screen over the panel, pressing a button to display the image of a radar and two dots on it. One represented their ship, the other (which he assumed was the robot) was following them from behind, closing in slowly as they traveled through space.
"Brainiac!? You mean the one responsible for the destruction of our home?"
Min nodded but spoke no further, playing the message once again so that his wife could listen to it and draw her own conclusions. He noticed Kushi's face twisting in anger as the message went on, the woman trembled in barely concealed rage as the robotic voice stoped speaking. He couldn't really blame her, though; after all he was feeling something similar.
And the fact that his own child, along with his godson, were in danger just made matters worse.
"It has found us. I don't know how, and why it'd return, but one thing is for sure..."
"...We can't trust it. Not after everything it has done", concluded Kushi, holding both children's hands. "It would be foolish to do so, even if Brainiac doesn't know we are aware of what it did. Besides, how did it find us? You made sure to turn off communications since Krypton ceased to exist. Our antenas have not emmited any signal in a while."
Her husband shook his head as he rubbed his temples. He didn't think that Brainiac would actually follow them through space. "It must have learned about our departure the very same day our ship left the planet. The piece of junk waited until the last moment to gather more knowledge before escaping in a satellite, steal a bigger ship and come after us."
"But why? If it kills us then the kryptonian race will..."
Kushi trailed off as she realized Brainiac's true intentions. The machine wanted to be the sole survivor of their planet, the sole possesor of all their knowledge; to do so, it was clear what the A.I planned.
Any other would have fallen in its trap. But they knew the truth.
"Exactly. And I fear it will not stop until it manages to acomplish its objective."
The woman noticed how Min's face suddenly darkened at the implication. Her eyes traveled from her husband, to her son, who was excitedly watching many lights blinking in the cockpit. Then, she examined her godson, who was busy muttering incomprehensible words. She knew what had to be done, but the thought of separating from his son and Kal after they had managed to escape from death was something that filled her with sadness, despair and anger. Anger at the machine that would succeed in ruining their plans of living a happy life at Earth.
"Is there any other choice?"
"We could try to put some distance between us and Brainiac's ship, but in doing so we'll be depleting our fuel source, leaving us with only a slim chance of getting near the Milky Way before we can use the rockets in the hangar", Min turned around and stood up, a tired look ocupying his visage. "Regardless, Brainiac would continue to follow us until we ran out of fuel."
Kushi lowered her head in defeat, struggling to keep her emotions under control. This just wasn't fair. They had gone through so much already, and when she thought it would finally be over, a new enemy seeking to destroy them appeared and prevented her family from achieving its goal: to survive. "If this is the only way to get the children to safety, then we must do it. We can't put their lives in danger."
Her husband nodded in agreement. At this moment, he wanted nothing more than to turn around and shoot the ship's weapons against Brainiac's cruiser, turning the machine into dust. But he couldn't risk the children by trying to fight back without knowing about the enemy's firepower.
Min-Ran knew that there existed the chance that the A.I would chase after the smaller rockets as soon as they realeased them. But even then, it was one chance in a million, as by diverting its course, the enemy's ship would be exposed to an attack from the rear, and the blond didn't think the robot was stupid enough to do that.
"I don't like it, but this is the only way", he finally said and exhaled a deep breath he'd been holding for a while. "Brainiac will not bother itself to go after a bunch of kids, it will pursue us wherever we go. We are the threat, they are not... for the moment. If we are lucky, both Kal and Jin will reach Earth before Brainiac catches up to us. And then we'll fight him. Maybe we can actually destroy him and reunite with the children."
Kushi smiled sadly, not allowing herself to rely on that tiny bit of hope that Min created within her with his plan. She took Jin in her arms and turned around, stepping out of the cockpit and walking at a steady pace to the hangar. Min followed her with Kal in his arms, and once again he groaned with pain at having his hair pulled by the little boy.
As soon as they arrived, the woman hugged her son tightly, sheding silent tears as the blond boy placed his head under her neck. "I'll miss you so much, Jin", she told him. "No matter what, you'll always be my beloved child."
The boy looked into her eyes, reaching her cheeks with his fingers. Even though the child could barely understand what was going on, he knew something was wrong if his mother was crying. "Mummy, no cry..."
His words had the opposite effect, as Kushi chuckled sadly at that and gave her son a kiss on his little head. More and more tears trailed down her face as she kept on hugging her only child, knowing that that could be the last time she had him in her arms.
Min observed the heartbreaking scene unfold before him, noticing how Kal had stopped in his efforts to play with his hair and was now trying to reach Kushi and Jin, stretching his tiny arms in their direction. Said woman turned around and approached the boy, giving him a hug with her other arm. "I-I'll miss you too Kal."
The boy blinked curiosly and shook his head, as if he didn't want her, or his godfather for that reason, to leave. Min ruffled his hair and placed the boy on one of the smaller ships, which looked like a rocket with room enough for Kal to sleep comfortably. "See you buddy. Be good, alright?", the baby started to call his name and stretch his hands upwards, as if trying to grab his hair. Kushi lowered herself to place a kiss on Kal's forehead, and then Min pulled out a device from his pants that resembled a weapon but was far from being one.
By placing it over Kal's eyes and pressing a button, a red light filled the baby's vision and he instantly fell asleep, entering a world where anything was possible and nothing could harm him. Min covered the tiny figure with a red blanket from neck to toe and opened a small compartment on one side where he placed a holorecording device that had been created by Jor-El to explain everything about Krypton and other matters to Kal when he was old enough to unlock it.
It was designed so that only he could activate it with his DNA.
Sharing a brief look, both parents approached another vessel. One that Min knew had been equipped with a experimental teleportation device, which automatically allowed the ship to teleport itself to the nearest kryptonian ship built by Min himself. Kal's ship didn't have one, since he hadn't had enough time to create another device and to fully test the one he'd installed on Jin's vessel.
Kushi ignored all this, and Min felt bad at not telling his wife. But if she were to find out, she'd try to get Min to make Jin travel in one of the ships meant for them to avoid risking her baby.
And those didn't have the protype mentioned before. Besides, he wasn't risking his son's safety; the worst that could happen was the device suffering a malfunction and shutting itself down. It wouldn't actually affect the ship's main systems... theoretically.
Min doubted something bad would happen, and having that device (which he didn't test in full) would give Jin a chance to get near Kal's position in case they got separated after arriving to Earth. He'd simply have to activate a switch in the lower part of the ship's interior and that was it.
The bad news was... that the device consumed a lot of energy, practically depleting every cell power on the ship. If it were to suffer a malfunction on space, the boy would enter a cryogenic state for months, if not years and the aging of his body would stop altogether until the systems powered up and the ship resumed its course.
It was a chance in a million, but the kryptonian was confident his son and Kal would arrive at Earth uneventfully.
Both parents finally got to the small vessel and Min turned to Jin and Kushi. "Well, the time has come."
Kushi reluctantly pulled herself away from her son after a final hug and placed him gently on the ship. After covering his little body with a red blanket, both parents noticed how the baby looked at them with innocence and confusion. He truly felt something was wrong, but as long as his daddy and mummy were there with him he didn't fear.
Min smiled and hugged her wife's arms with his right now, never looking away from his son. "I guess this is goodbye buddy. I won't be teaching you how to speak properly, I'll miss a lot of birthdays, your first day at school and... well, practically everything that I've always wanted to be part of in your life. What I want is for you to be strong, to protect those who need it and use the powers you'll be given for good. I know you'll never let me down Jin."
"I-I'm s-sorry", by this point, Kushi could no longer hold back the tears that streamed down her face. Yet, she still managed to give her silent son a smile, albeit one full of sadness and sorrow. "W-We could only enjoy the marvelous experience of being your parents for a year. And now... everything we'd ever wanted to teach you, to show you, to share with you...", the woman took a moment to recompose herself. But it was an impossible task at the moment. "Jin, I want you to brush your teeth three times a day, to eat vegetables and train everyday, get as many friends as you want and make sure they are good people. Enjoy your life and be happy, we're giving you a chance to do so. Be good and protect the Earth and its people. Your father and I love you, and always will."
The blond boy started to sob and some tears gathered round the corners of his zapphire eyes. His tiny arms slowly stretched in their direction, as he tried to reach his parents. Min waited until Kushi pulled away from a last hug and used the same device from before to put Jin to sleep, stroking his hair for a moment. Then, opening a compartment on one side similar to the one in Kal's ship, the man placed a holorecording device similar to Jor's one but with Kushi and himself in it.
When Jin activated it using his DNA, he'd be face to face with his parents, who would explain everything to him. Something Min-Ran and his wife recorded before leaving Krypton in case his son got separated from them.
"That should be enough."
Grasping her hand into his own, Min led both of them to the computer that controlled the rockets, writing some commands that soon opened two holes in the roof of the hangar just above each ship. Kushi sobbed silently against his arm as he kissed her cheek and pressed a button, getting themselves covered by a hollow tube made of glass.
Both parents stood there, contemplating the sleeping faces of both children in silence. No words needed to be said in order for them to express the pain they were feeling; but they knew this was the only way to keep them safe.
Even if it meant never seeing them again.
"Farewell, my son..."
Min-Ran pressed a button on the computer and, after the glass hatch of each rocket was closed, the machinery supporting the ships inclined them upwards, in direction to the holes above. Immediately, the propellers ignited to life, shaking the hangar a bit as both rockets launched into the space through the holes in the roof.
"It's done", Min said hugging his crying wife against his chest. "The only thing we can do right now is change our path and try to survive this ordeal."
Kushi pulled away slightly to look at him in the eye. "A-And... then?"
Her only response was a sigh.
"Then I hope we can meet our son and Kal again."
A sound from the main console of the cruiser interrupted Brainiac's work, and it instantly knew through an electromagnetic pulse something was wrong. The A.I checked the tracking systems of the ship with a mere command of its own, quickly noticing that the kryptonian ship had changed its course.
"I see", a robotic voice sounded through the screen of the control panel. It barely carried any emotion, except for the slight curiosity and interest with which it spoke. "They are changing their course to a nearer planet where they could seek refuge in. A smart move."
Accessing to the ship's navigating systems, Brainiac redirected his ship to follow Min's vessel. But soon enough, another sound indicated two smaller signals departing from the large ship and taking a different course, one that was intended to be the kryptonian's original destination. If Brainiac was curious before, these new developments would have made him smile if it could do so. Needless to say that he was impressed with that display of intelligence.
"Very smart indeed."
The A.I took a moment to analyse all the variables and predict every possibility before coming up with an appropiate course of action. Those small ships would probably contain kryptonian children, and the main one was piloted by the last surviving adults of Krypton in order to distract Brainiac and save the infants.
It did not matter to him. He'd eventually get to all of them. Their efforts would only delay the inevitable.
On the other hand... by allowing both children to escape from its grasp it would be giving them a chance to expose themselves to the yellow sun of Earth, which in time would give them abilities that most of their race could only dream about during their pathetic lives in Krypton.
It thrilled it, in a way. The posibility of testing and gaining data on the kryptonian body under such effects was priceless and possibly the only one he'd ever get, considering the fact that those were the last survivors of the planet.
And so, Brainiac decided to humor the kryptonian adults by going after them, opting to ignore the inoffensive children... for now. Its ship's propellers suddenly ignited and pushed the cruiser forward, pursuing Min and Kushi.
What the A.I, Kushi, Min and even Kal didn't notice, however, was the small ship of Jin disappearing from sight altogether, getting engulfed by a portal of some sort that was opened as a result of a malfunction of the teleportation device. His cousin would eventually reach Earth and get adopted by two farmers, living happily with his new family.
But Jin... His future was uncertain.
And it's done! We've reached the end of the first chapter. As you can see, I decided to cut the part in which originally Rin and Kakashi found Naruto's rocket after it landed near Konoha. I've also changed that last part, and I'll include Naruto's arrival and a short summary of his life in Konoha in the following chapter.
As I mentioned before, my english is not perfect, and I'm sure you'll find some errors here and there. Most of it is correct, I believe, but you can point out any mistake you find out. I'll be grateful.
One more thing, there will be more chapters detailing certain events that were not properly explained in the original version, as Naruto finding out about his identity, him going to Gotham City and meeting Batman and Robin. That will surely take a whole chapter as I plan Naruto to have a bigger influence on those he meets.
If you liked the rewrite don't forget to leave a review. Good ones, if possible. As always, flames will be dutifully ignored, though constructive criticism will be read and taken into account if I deem necessary.
