The Arrival

"It's expanding," Kakashi warned as he backed away slowly, he clenched his right eye shut but he could still feel the throbbing pain in the back of his head.

Naruto wiped a small trickle of blood from the corner of his bottom lip. "Can you close it?" Naruto turned his head to face his former teacher but once he removed his hand from his eye, the answer to his question was clear. The long strokes of blood running down his cheek spoke for itself.

"I've over used the Kamui as it is, I'll die before it closes and then it would just start expanding again."

"Any ideas Sasuke?" He contemplated; the properties of the expanding vortex were similar to Kaguya's technique and the Kamui, could some version of strengthening Kakashi's Kamui but, at this rate, it'll kill him. Knowing of Kakashi's bravery, Sasuke kept the solution to himself.

Sasuke sighed and opened his right eye before glaring up at the expanding vortex in front of them, "Beats me, but who knows what'll happen if it keeps growing like that," this possibility of this Jutsu's expansion could be dangerous on a beyond planetary level; all due to a madman whom used a last result to take us all with him, speaking of the devil...

All three heads turned at the sound of slight chuckling from behind them. They were in a separate dimension so there was only one person that could be laughing at a time like this; and this man was lucky to even be alive, "You are… all… fools," the fallen villain proclaimed as every breath he took was viable to be his last. "It won't stop… it'll keep growing… until it eats the Planet… and then… everything… will be gone," the man paused every few seconds which is understandable as he had a long black pole piercing his left lung… and his abdomen, and pretty much anywhere there was skin.

"Even when you're dying, you're still annoying," Naruto mumbled folding his arms.

Sasuke sighed as an idea popped into his head, although he wasn't very fond of it; using the sealing ability performed on Kaguya is a hypothetically reasonable solution, simple enough, only one problem.

"We can close it."

They all looked at him in surprise, what plan could Sasuke have devised.

Naruto smiled, "Really? How?" He was excited at firs but, his mood would soon change.

"We'll seal it, but it has to be done from either side, like Kaguya."

Naruto blinked, "But if we seal it how will I get back?"

"You're not going," Sasuke poked Naruto in the chest, "I am."

"I can't let you do that-"

"Save it moron, It's time I paid for my sins, whether or not this portal leads to another continent or hell itself, I'm going."

Naruto sighed and wrapped his arms around Sasuke briefly before separating with their arms connected.

"It was an honor to know you Sasuke;and to fight this War along side you, i'm glad we finally came to peace with out rivalry and managed to move foreward." Naruto smiled and removed his headband from his forehead before folding the straps neatly and presenting it to Sasuke with both hands.

"I can't take that from you…" Sasuke put his hand up signifying his reluctance.

Naruto grimaced, "Save it moron," his left eye shed a single tear, "It was an honor being your friend too."

Sasuke chuckled lightly before grabbing the head band and strapping it to his belt; the memories of this headband would be remembered forever.

Sasuke turned to Kakashi and held a hand out.

Sasuke, with both of his intensely powerful eyes, could see Kakashi's smile appearing from behind his mask, something he'd actually never seen before.

"We'll meet again, someday." Kakashi reached his hand out and shook three times for good measure.

"Well, I'm off." Sasuke took one last look at the evil soul who caused all of this before he stepped through the vortex. The last thing he saw was the beaten face of Madara Uchiha smiling back at him, grinning like a child.

…

Everything was dark, even with Sasuke's vision; he could see nothing but darkness for several seconds. This was slightly frightening to even Sasuke; suddenly his head began spinning as his mind throbbed uncontrollably. The pain was excruciating but brief as his eyes found light at last. It was dim and uninviting but it was more or less the only sign that he wasn't dead so naturally Sasuke reached for it. Minutes went by before he reached it but when he did, he fell onto the cold concrete of an unknown location.

Sasuke opened his eyes but immediately realized there was the vortex behind. It looked brand new as it was still a small human sized hole floating in the air. Sasuke poured chakra into his eye and focused his energy on sealing. He reached his hand out along with the crescent symbol seemingly tattooed on his palm and forced the portal to close. Sasuke fell to his knees and sighed loudly; a small drop of blood dripped from his left eye and fell slowly to the ground. He looked in the reflection of a small puddle beneath him and noticed how much blood he was actually covered in. His earlier battle had drained him so even something as simple as sealing caused a major drain on his chakra reserves. He stared at his reflection for a few more seconds before shutting his left eye and allowing the right to return to its normal onyx color.

He looked around and found himself in the center of some sort of ally way. He got to his feet and walked to the nearest exit. As he walked he noticed various pieces of garbage, rotting food, plastic bags and even articles of clothing on the ground lining the ally. Once he exited the ally, his normal eye adjusted to the now dimly lit asphalt road with very odd yellow markings all over it. He limped his way out into the road when a light startled him from his right side. A massive metal contraption sped towards him at slightly slow speeds, most shinobi were much faster than it.

Sasuke wished he had the energy to move but after being technically dead for several minutes and having a little chat with a Demi-God, he was simply too exhausted to dodge it, instead he placed his hand out and stopped it. Simply put, he used the last of his chakra to stick himself to the ground and strengthen his arm slightly enough to simply stop the oncoming object. Metal crumbled like tin foil around his body as a plume of smoke erupted from the front. Now that Sasuke had a closer look, the object was some sort of advanced vehicle, strange looking and exotic. He looked for a driver and found a man in his late forties unconscious in the driver seat. Sasuke backed away slowly as an abrupt honking noise caused his head to start spinning again, another strange vehicle had stopped right in front of him.

The man opened the door and yelled something to him in a foreign language, Sasuke didn't know what he was saying but it sounded angry.

Sasuke felt cornered and unprepared so he leaped into the air and landed on the building that had juxtaposed the ally way he arrived in. He tried to comprehend what was happening but simply couldn't. He was hoping that the portal lead to another Kamui dimension where he would be alone until he starved. This was much worse as now he was an alien in a world he didn't understand. Sasuke was brought back from his thoughts as he heard someone arriving behind him.

Sasuke spun around and pulled his short sword from its sheath and pointed it in the direction of the intruder who was shrouded in darkness from the shadows. Sasuke gripped his sword with one hand and his abdomen with the other, he was still bleeding and wasn't totally sure how much longer he would last.

The figure stepped forwards as clouds above them began to release their contents. Small drops of rain spread across the city for miles until it began pouring and a single flash of lightning illuminated the sky as well as the man staring down Sasuke.

The thunder was ominous and quick as it shook the buildings, Sasuke tried to figure out what he'd seen. It was pitch black and he had no chakra left for using his Sharingan, even opening his left eye could be a detriment to his health at this point.

Sasuke stepped back, "Who are you?" Sasuke asked calmly.

The figure seemed slightly confused but spoke anyways.

"You're in my city; I ask the questions and you answer them." The figure had a deep, growling voice that sounded like he was gargling marbles.

"You can speak my language but your followers cannot? What makes you so special?"

"I'm not a ruler, I'm a protector." The figure was illuminated by another flash of light and this time Sasuke caught every detail. The figure was a man, about six feet tall and dressed in some sort of armor with a symbol resembling a bat on his chest. His cowl was pointed at the ears also resembling a bat. "What are you doing in my city?"

"I arrived here not by choice but by necessity." Sasuke responded before clenching his abdomen tighter and dropping his sword to the ground. "I need medical attention."

"So does that man in the car below us, why should you come before him?"

"Because if you don't help me, I'll die," With that last sentence his eye slipped closed and his body drifted lazy to the ground pulled only by gravity.

Sasuke couldn't see anything but he could feel the water pouring onto his face and then he felt an odd sensation that he simply couldn't describe, and then? His heart stopped.

The Batman stared at the fallen stranger as he scanned the body with a multitude of devices in his cowl and belt. He scanned the heart with a simple glare and realized it had truly stopped beating. Batman rushed to Sasuke's side and ripped apart his shirt and began chest compressions.

"Come on, come on."

Suddenly the heart scanner began beeping rapidly as the pulse returned to life and Sasuke coughed up a decent amount of blood. Batman turned Sasuke on his side to avoid a choking hazard before he heard a voice in his ear.

"Sir, are you alright? Your heart scanner had flat lined and I certainly hope it wasn't yours." The man spoke with a thick English accent that spewed wisdom in waves.

"Not mine, some kid's. I'm taking him back with me."

"Shall I prep him a room?"

"A bed… in the cave, and prep yourself for surgery."

"Of course sir."

…

Sasuke awoke with a gasp, he had never been so close to death before, and he had been very close to death in his short life. He didn't open his eyes, instead he listened, the sound of buttons smashing, breathing for sure, someone… eating?

His eyes snapped open; he sat up quickly preparing for battle but was dissuaded by the immense pain coming from his abdomen. A chair spun around and the man dressed as a bat faced him once more, "You had six broken ribs, your lung exploded, you needed forty-seven stitches around your body not including the ones needed for your surgery, and I'm not even going to talk about whatever is on your eye," The man sat back and clasped his hands together in front of his face as if he were pondering what kind of battle he could possibly have been in, "What in God's name did you do to yourself?"

Sasuke didn't concern himself with anything the man said, he needed answers and that's all he cared about at the time, "You speak my language perfectly, how? Are you from the Elemental Nations?"

"I don't know where that is and as for 'your' language, it's Japanese. I'm a linguist; I can speak up to forty-different languages with dozens of sub-dialects to go with them."

Sasuke was stupefied; he had never met a more solid man, his demeanor and attitude all screamed 'prepared for everything'. He didn't display his admiration for the mans demenor instead turning his head and scoffing.

"So what exactly did you do to get yourself in that condition?"

Sasuke sighed, "I fought a God," he said it casually as if it were a regular thing.

"Didn't go well?" the man looked him up and down and smiled ever so slightly; he didnt beilve a true God was involved in a battle, this man hay hhave been a God to his people but, not a real Omnipotent one with true all power.

"I won," Sasuke stood to his feet and clenched his abdomen; "Not without consequences..."

"Sit down or you'll pull your stitches," the man stood to his feet and grabbed the plate of food sitting on the desk behind his chair, and that's when Sasuke saw it, "You're healing rapidly, which means your have a healing factor."

"Healing what?"

"You heal fast," Batman stated, "the point is your stitches can be removed in a few hours.

"What is that thing?" Sasuke asked as he pointed up at the massive glass screen in front of him.

The man approached a set of stairs and looked back at what Sasuke was referring to, "That's a computer."

Sasuke marveled at it; it sported holographic keyboards and a large screen larger than he'd ever seen, "This world must be pretty advanced to ave technology like this," Sasuke deadpanned.

"Its state of the art, only four exist in the world," Bruce folded his arms in boasting.A man stepped into the cave,h He was old, at least fifty or sixty, wearing a black tuxedo of some sort.

Sasuke slipped into a fighting position out of simple habit but the man in the bat suit put a hand up towards him without even looking, who was this man? A man who could notice the slightest defensive position without even looking?

"Thank you Alfred," the man handed 'Alfred' the plate and he took up the stairs immediately.

"An attendant? A slave? Or does he just wash all of your dishes?"

"He's a friend," the man walked back to his computer chair and sat down looking at Sasuke up and down. "So tell me, what do you plan on doing now?"

Sasuke raised an eyebrow, "I'm not sure, I came here alone and I have no way of getting back."

"I have connections, I can drop you off where ever you need," the man stood and walked closer to Sasuke, "I could drop you with your parents considering you still look pretty young."

"Im sixteen but, I don't have any family, not anymore. Besides, I came from another world, I used a portal and I have no idea where I am relative to where I came from."

"If you don't mind me asking, what happened to your parents?"

Sasuke sighed loudly, "My entire family was murdered, leave it at that."

The man's eyes widened, "Im sorry, I know it can be hard. If you need a place to stay…" The man trailed off before reaching upwards and pulling his cowl back over his head, "You can stay with me; I know I've got plenty of room."

"That's kind of you but, I wouldn't want to impose." Sasuke stood and headed for the stairs to exit but was stopped by the man speaking to him.

The man smiled slightly running a hand through his short black hair, "I can't let a minor with no family or understanding of this world just walk out of there to fend for himself." Sasuke turned around and stared with his onyx eye, "Let me help you."

"So what should I call you, the man who feeds me unconditionally?" Sasuke smirked as the man smiled slightly.

"Just call me Bruce." He smiled and pulled back his cowl revealing a chiseled face with handsome features, his dark blue eyes scanned the teenager for the first time without an electronic filter. Bruce always had the uncanny ability to tell when someone had ill intent, he would feel this and immediately prepare for any situation he could think of, if his suspicion was wrong, which it rarely was, he would simply file away the contingency for a rainy day. In this case, he felt nothing, the boy was proud and unwilling to admit he was in pain but, he felt sad and alone and as proud as he is, he wouldn't admit how scared of this situation he truly was.

Suddenly two heads poked out from the top of the stairwell, one of a young boy, no older than fourteen, and one of a teenage girl looking to be around sixteen. They peaked out to stare at the stranger, whispering to each other in the same weird language from earlier. He looked at them, their lips, and their movements. He read their body-language like an open book.

"They're scared of me." Sasuke sighed to Bruce who looked over at them and smiled.

"They're just curious, we tend to be afraid of the unknown around here," He waved them down and they immediately scuttled down the steps nervously.

Bruce turned and addressed them; he even used Sasuke's own language. "This is Sasuke, he's a little stuck and he could use a place to stay. He doesn't speak English only Japanese." Bruce turned to his computer and typed a few things into the console as the two teens analyzed Sasuke.

The girl was the first to speak, "Uh hi, my name is Barbra. It's nice to see you gained Bruce's trust. That list is very short." She put out a hand but, Sasuke didn't even address it, he simply looked her up and down, her curves, her long red hair that fell just passed her shoulders, her crystal blue eyes and pink lips. He hadn't met many girls that didn't trip over themselves at the sight of him, was it ironic that he felt the roles reversed here?

She raised an eyebrow and looked over to Bruce, "My Japanese is fine right?" she turned immediately when she felt a cold hand grasp her own.

"Sorry, my ribs are pressing up against my lungs, makes it hard to get oxygen to the brain." Sasuke shook her hand and they stared at each other for several seconds causing Bruce to raise an eyebrow.

"Uh I'm Dick, it's nice to have you," The boy was young but seemed more mature than most teenagers, he reminded Sasuke a lot of himself without all the angst. Dick reached his hand out and Sasuke didn't hesitate to shake.

"You both speak my language, how coincidental…"

"Bruce had me learn at a young age," Dick admitted rubbing the back of his neck with his palm.

"And my I took AP International Relations in tenth grade; I had to brush up on Japanese and American relations and cultural differences, it was tedious but learning Japanese was pretty fun." Barbra smiled as Sasuke raised an eyebrow.

"What's an America?" Sasuke asked sitting back on the cot he had awoken from.

Barbra and Dick immediately raised an eyebrow in concern, looking over to Bruce who sighed, "He's kidding right?"

"Sasuke isn't from this Earth; he's from a parallel universe with a lot of significant differences, one being the name and formation of the countries." Bruce continued typing without looking back, "He was pulled to this universe and has no way of returning home."

Barbra looked back at Sasuke who had his head turned away, "I'm sorry, I had no idea."

"Save it," Sasuke smiled, "By coming here I saved my, uh, un-I-verse from being totally destroyed. If I had to do it again, I would."

Barbra smiled and shared a look with Dick, "That's noble but, don't you want to go back?"

"I made mistakes there, mistakes that I'm not sure they could see past. I will miss them but, perhaps it's for the best that I remain here." Sasuke rubbed his shoulders in pain as he felt his aching muscles.

"Well, if you're going to stay here, you might need an education. Maybe you would benefit from going to school with Barbra and Dick." Bruce mentioned.

Sasuke looked up, "What's a school? Is that like an Academy?"

"Yea, you show up, learn some stuff about some stuff, and then you go home! It's pretty straight forwards." Dick commented as he walked past Barbra and sat on Bruce's desk next to his array of keyboards. "You had an academy where you came from, what types of things did you learn about?"

"Mostly the proper ways to kill someone, but sometimes history and math too," Sasuke crossed his arms nonchalantly.

They were dumbfounded, sharing looks wondering if he was serious, "So you went to an assassin's school? That's pretty awesome." Barbra mentioned chuckling.

"I grew up during times of great political tension, the five nations constantly bickering and fighting, we were trained as efficient killers ready to protect the homeland. We got a basic education but only the strategists and the gifted focused more on academics rather than how to properly utilize their chakra."

"We have wars here too, but I guess your wars were little more high stakes considering your society completely adapted to producing efficient soldiers." Dick mentioned as Bruce continued to type away.

"We were more like ninjas then soldiers."

Barbra analyzed his features, he was handsome for sure but, his eyes told a different story, a sad one at that. It was then that she realized what had bothered her about his face.

She broke the silence by walking closer to him, "Why is your left eye closed, did you injure it?"

Sasuke placed a hand onto the lid of his eye; he caressed his feeling the events of the last two days fill his memory. "I keep it closed for a reason. We should leave it at that."

The conversation was interrupted by Bruce clearing his throat, "I just finished enrolling you in Gotham City Academy, you start in two days."

"I didn't ask you to do that for me, although, I should probably learn En-glish while I'm here. How am I supposed to talk to anyone if they can't understand me?"

"There are tons of gifted students at the Academy, a lot of them know Japanese. Most of the teachers do for sure."

"Then I suppose I could benefit from this school thing," Sasuke sighed.

Bruce smiled, "I've come up with a basic backstory, your family was killed in a car accident when you were ten years old, you were at an orphanage until I adopted you recently, and you were raised in Japan but, moved to America just before the accident."

"I suppose that's not too far off, my family was killed when I was young. But we didn't have these orphanages, they were only for toddlers, once you turned around ten you could live alone in an apartment paid by the village until you turn eighteen." Sasuke pulled the purple rope that was tied around his waist until it came undone allowing him to remove his small bag of knives and throwing stars and place it on the cot. "I could use some clothes, to better blend in and I didn't exactly have time to pack a bag before I left."

Bruce spoke up, "I have some sweat pants that'll probably fit you, tomorrow Dick and Barbra will take you to the mall to find something to wear."

"I don't have any money either; I can't pay for any of that." Sasuke looked down not in sorrow but, in a way that made him feel like he was charity case.

"I have plenty of money you can use, trust me." Bruce pulled on the straps to his armor and peeled off the chest piece.

"Why are you helping me like this? We just met a few hours ago and your treating me like we're old friends! What's the deal, no one is this nice for no reason?" Sasuke looked up at Bruce who simply sighed and closed his eyes, Dick and Barbra looked away, knowing the answer to his question the moment they heard Sasuke's back story.

Bruce placed his armor on the desk next to Dick and looked over at Sasuke, "I was like you, I lost my family and I had no one to really look after me other than the man you saw earlier. I was troubled and alone but, I had this." Bruce motioned to the ceiling referring to his vast wealth and classy mansion sitting atop the cave, "I had what my parents left for me but, you have nothing, in a world you don't understand, with no one to help you. I just want to help someone who needs it. I helped Dick the same way, he lost his parents and I helped him bring the man responsible to justice as well as giving him a place to stay and someone to look after him, I'd like to extend that offer to you too."

They looked to Sasuke waiting for a response but he gave none, he simply sighed once again, looking up, Barbra could see his one onyx eye, it was barely noticeable but, she could see darkness behind them, one of many years of misguided trust and selfish goals.

"I appreciate that, really, but I don't deserve it. I have blood on my ledger and it's not so easily forgiven." Sasuke looked back to the horrible atrocities he performed under Orochimaru's tutelage, the selfish actions he took in his search for vengeance, the things he said and did were inexcusable, and he couldn't allow people who didn't know the circumstances to throw their money and kindness at him when he was the last person who deserved it.

"We all have blood on our ledger," Sasuke looked up at the three in front of him, they looked away, slightly ashamed, mostly trying not to relive harsh memories, "It's how we move past it that makes us who we are." Bruce looked back to Sasuke and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Let us help you." Sasuke looked down and sighed.

"Do you have a shower? Because I'm covered in a lot of blood."

Bruce chuckled slightly, "Barbra could you please show Sasuke to the guest room." He turned to Sasuke, "There's a bathroom in the guest room, you should be comfortable there. Breakfast is at eight in the morning, we can talk more then, now I imagine you're tired?"

Sasuke nodded slowly as Barbra motioned him to follow her up the stairs. She led him through the doorway and into a library of sorts; the walls were lined with books except one wall was the entire doorway. They left that room and found themselves walking down a hall, the hall was wide enough to fit them both walking side by side. They walked in awkward silence for several moments until they arrived at a wooden door that seemed identical to all the others that lined the hall.

"Well, this is you," Barbra opened the door allowing Sasuke to take in the scent of freshly washed sheets. "Alfred must've made the room for you; usually it's a lot dustier."

Sasuke walked in without a word as Barbra followed him in the room which was large, containing a king-sized bed up against the wall, a dresser with multiple drawers, a large TV that hung from the wall, and a door on the far end that he could only guess led to the bathroom.

"Well, if you need anything don't hesitate to ask, and try not to be late to breakfast, Alfred makes the most amazing pancakes you've ever had." Barbra smiled as Sasuke reached for the hem of his shirt and pulled it over his head and off his body causing Barbra's cheeks to heat up suddenly.

"I haven't had pancakes in four years and I haven't eaten any food in days." Sasuke said tossing his shirt lazily onto the bed.

"I'm sure Alfred will be more than happy to whip you up something if you haven't eaten in days, most people pass out from exhaustion after forty-eight hours without food, are you sure you're ok?" Barbra tried to keep her eyes from traveling down his muscular form.

"I can fight for days without food or water, I'll be fine," He stoically turned around and walked further into the room.

Barbra chuckled nervously and tried to hide her blush as she backed out of the room, "Well if you need anything," she accidentally backed into the door frame rubbing the small lump now present on the back of her head, "Uh, just ask, have a good night." She quickly stepped away and closed the door, pressing her back to the wood she sighed, why was she feeling so nervous and out of place with this boy? She had plenty of boys crush over her at her school and it never made her react this way before, she was brought out of her thoughts by the sound of a throat clearing.

"Ahem," Dick exclaimed, "Did he like the room?" he asked nonchalantly.

"Uh, yea, he uh... did, although I'm not sure I could even tell with that frown he always wears."

Dick smiled, "Your face looks like a tomato by the way, if you like him, you should talk to him." Dick chuckled as Barbra threw her hands up into the air.

"I just met the guy!"

…

The next morning, Sasuke's eyes snapped open in preparation for battle, it wasn't until several seconds after he awoke that he realized the fight was over. Sasuke trained his entire life to fight on instinct and after fighting a war for multiple days without rest, I suppose it's easy to forget the simple things when waking up in a stranger's house. He sat up and realized his injuries were all but healed, he felt only slightly sore around his abdomen were Madara had plunged his blade. He moved his legs to the edge of his bed and placed them on the cold tile, he could feel the Rinnegan imposing unwanted killing intent upon the surrounding area, he stared at his reflection in the tile and how his Rinnegan blazed without him putting any effort, he closed the eye and stood to his feet.

Unbeknownst to him, Barbra stood outside Sasuke's door with her back against the wall facing the room, her heart was pounding and she was attempting to feel her pulse. She had never felt such absolute terror before, just being in proximity of Sasuke caused this? Could it be something else? She was only trying to make sure he wouldn't sleep through breakfast but, now she felt uneasy as the horrible feeling faded, her heart rate returned to normal. She could hear the running water of the bathroom, it was best she just wait for him at the table now that she was sure he wasn't still sleeping. She turned around and straightened herself out, she was in a blue crop top with matching pajama pants, she wasn't sure if this was proper attire to wear around a guest but, she shook the thought without caring.

Sasuke stared at his reflection in the mirror; he had scars across his chest, some fresh and some old. He stared at his onyx eye and immediately came to a realization that caused him to snap the marble sink in two as he dashed for the exit. In mere seconds he was facing the family and their butler as a large table filled with steaming plates of breakfast foods filled his senses. Eggs, bacon, pancakes, cereal, fresh fruits, sausage, ham, and many other enticing foods were laid out in front of him but he barely noticed any of it.

"Where is it?" he asked in a rushed tone.

Bruce looked up from his plate and raised an eyebrow, "Your manners? Out the window apparently."

Sasuke scoffed, "My stuff, I came here with something, where is it?"

"Your 'stuff' is in the cave, next to the computer." Dick added as he shoveled mounds of bacon into his mouth and suddenly the ninja was gone.

He dashed into the cave with incredible speeds and when he arrived he smiled, there it was, his blade was still sheathed, his bag of kunai and throwing stars and, most importantly, the headband he had received as a parting gift. At the moment it was the only thing he treasured, Naruto was the only person who never gave up on him, he never once thought that he couldn't be saved, all the others gave up at a certain point, even the rose haired kunoichi had professed false love to Naruto simply to convince him that Sasuke was a lost cause but, Naruto never wavered. He stood by him until the very end and that was more impressive than any ability the jinchūriki ever possessed; his undying will to keep his word.

Sasuke walked lazily up the stairs as he stared at the headband intently, it was all he had left and he refused to lose it.

As he approached the table once again, Barbra, Dick and Bruce all placed their eyes on him. They waited for him to say something but he didn't, he simply sat down across from Barbra and began serving himself. He bowed his head to Bruce and Alfred who exchanged a confused look, "Thank you for the meal." His heritage did resemble the Japanese as he was taught by his parents to thank a person if they were giving unwarranted kindness especially in the form of a meal.

Bruce continued to read his paper without looking up, "Here in America we don't usually give thanks before a meal; it's a preference not a necessity." Bruce stood and grabbed something from a table not too far from where they were eating; Bruce placed a book on the table in front of Sasuke and smiled.

Sasuke raised an eyebrow, "What is it?"

"Japanese to English dictionary, read it, memorize it and learn your way through our language. You said you had some sort of eye power, use it."

Sasuke activated the Sharingan in right eye; he then furthered it into some sort of pin-wheel design. He opened the book and scanned through it and after a few minutes looked up at Barbra.

"Hi, how you is?" He spoke in nearly perfect English causing Dick to look up from his food and Barbra to drop her spoon into her cereal bowl.

Bruce raised an eyebrow, "That was nearly perfect, keep at it and you should have our language down in less than a week."

Sasuke cleared his throat and switched back to his native tongue, "I was a prodigy back home, and I suppose that's the case here too."

Barbra curved a smile and looked on in amazement, "And your eye? Its red and weird looking," Sasuke frowned at this and touched his cheek just below his eye.

"My Sharingan, it allows me to memorize things and see things faster, English doesn't seem too difficult." Sasuke allowed his Sharingan to morph back into its three tomoes design, "And I can further power up the Sharingan to gain more abilities. These eyes are my birthright and the only thing left connecting me to my family."

Barbra listened as she was intrigued by the man's abilities, "And your other eye? Is it just an empty socket or is it a Sharingan too?"

Sasuke sighed, kicked his chair back, and walked towards the hall leading to his room, "Forget about it," Barbara gulped and continued eating in silence due to his response.

Bruce broke the silence by speaking up, "Well you guys have some shopping to do, I have got some League business to take care of, we're supposed to be introducing the individual sidekicks to the Hall of Justice next week."

Dick and Barbra shouted in unison, "Don't call us sidekicks!"

Bruce ignored them and walked out of the room towards the room that held the entrance to the cave.

"League? Sidekicks? What is all of that supposed to mean?" Sasuke repeated still standing by the hall facing away from them.

Dick sighed, rubbing his stomach in satisfaction, "Well, here in our world, we have guardian heroes known as the Justice League, and they have partners that are begrudgingly known as sidekicks."

"Where I come from, we had Kage who were generally the strongest in each village; they led and protected the villages from powerful threats. In the end all five Kage joined together to defeat a common enemy and formed the Allied Shinobi Forces." Sasuke said nonchalantly reminiscing on his battle with the five Kage at their summit.

"Who was the unlucky threat that had to face five different armies at once?" Barbra joked as Sasuke shrugged.

"Just a guy," he muttered.

Dick and Barbra exchanged a look of surprise before standing up simultaneously, "How about we find you a decent shirt, so we can go shopping," Barbra suggested as Alfred came in to pick up their cleared dishes.

Sasuke looked down at his tattered purple v-neck shirt he'd arrived in before scoffing.

I have a Dragonball Super/Justice League Crossover story ongoing called Warrior from the Heavens if you want to check that out.

Till next chapter! Stay Awesome Gotham.
