Hey y'all! OCMixMaster here with my first ever story. This is an experiment to see if a hyperactive knucklehead can pull off total domination. Wish me luck, and enjoy!
Spectrum Master
Chapter 1: Into the New World
Location: Valley of the End
A waterfall cascades down a cliff into a river. On both sides of the falls are statues of two of the greatest ninja in history. One is of Hashirama Senju, The Founder and Shodaime Hokage of Konohagakure and Master of the Mokuton (Wood Release). The other is of Madara Uchiha, the former Head of the Uchiha Clan and Master of the Sharingan. This is where the two warriors held a titanic clash that formed the Valley of the End.
Now, there are two more ninja fighting in this valley. Atop of the statue of Madara stands his descendent, Sasuke Uchiha. He is a boy with jet black hair and onyx eyes. However, he is currently sporting long grey hair, clawed hands, and two hand-like wings on his back. This is due to the Curse Mark given to him by Orochimaru of the Sannin, the one whom Sasuke planned to abandon his home for in exchange for power.
His last obstacle is standing on the statue of Hashirama. This is his former teammate, Naruto Uzumaki. He is a blonde boy with whiskers on his cheeks. Now, his whiskers are deepened in his skin, his once ocean blue eyes are a blood red with slit pupils, and he has a thick red coat of chakra covering him. This is due to the power of the Kyuubi no Kitsune demon sealed inside of him.
"Let's finish this!" Sasuke calls out. Lightning crackles on his left hand in chirps as he powers up his finishing jutsu, the Chidori (1000 Birds).
"I'm taking you down, teme!" Naruto declared as chakra swirls into a ball in his right hand. This is the Rasengan, (Spiralling Sphere), Naruto's ultimate attack.
Both give out a battle cry and leap towards each other, their attacks about to intersect.
"CHIDORI!"
"RASENGAN!"
The two attacks collide in mid-air. Both jutsus clash with each other as the two shinobi struggle to outdo each other. This is when something goes wrong for both of them. The power of the two jutsus creates a dome of energy around them, distorting the fabric of their universe. Both warriors, unaware of this development, begin pushing more energy into their attacks. The pressure becomes too much. A hole is torn in time and space, and Naruto and Sasuke are pulled into it, leaving their world forever.
Location: The Void
Blackness. Total darkness. This is The Void, the area between all the different worlds in the Omniverse. And it is in this blackness is where two ninja are clashing in the sphere of energy.
"G-Give up, Sasuke!" Naruto grits out as he pushes with his Rasengan. "I'm...taking you home...whether you want to...or not!"
"I...I won't quit, dobe!" Sasuke responds as he continues with his Chidori. "I need the power...to kill Itachi...that traitor!"
"You're the one...who left our home...who betrayed our friends...just for power! You're the only traitor here, teme!"
That declaration stops Sasuke in his tracks. W-What?! I'm not a traitor! ...am I?
It's this lapse in concentration that Naruto needed. He begins overpowering Sasuke's jutsu with his own. Sasuke tries to take back ground, but with no luck.
"This time, Sasuke," Naruto says, "I'm not the dobe." With one final push, Naruto defeats Sasuke and sends him into the void.
Naruto watches as his once friend screams in the blackness before being disintegrated by its power, leaving himself in the energy sphere.
"NO!" Naruto cries out. Tears fall as he crumples into himself. I...I failed. These are his last thoughts as unconciousness takes him, all the while the sphere takes him to a new destination.
Location: DC Universe: Naruto's Mind
Blue eyes open up, and Naruto slowly gets up. He finds himself in what appears to be a large room in a sewer system. He looks around. This is where he first spoke with the Kyuubi, but the damn fox wasn't here.
"Hello?" Naruto calls out, "Anyone here?"
No response. He goes to speak again, but another voice beats him to it.
[OH, YOU ARE AWAKE NOW. EXCELLENT.].
Naruto looks up to see who the voice was. What he sees makes his jaw drop.
Above him are seven creatures, all with different shapes and colors. The one in the middle looks like an emerald green shark-whale hybrid. To its immediate right is a yellow, scary looking insect. Next to it is an orange serpent looking at the boy in a hungry fashion. Next to the snake is a crimson red bull with four horns and blood dripping out of its mouth. To the left of the fish is a sapphire blue bird with three heads in one. Next to it is an indigo squid. Finally, there is a vicious looking lizard made out of pink crystal.
Needless to say, Naruto was stunned.
"W-Who the hell are you? A-And where's the Kyuubi?"
The emerald beast, the one who spoke earlier, answers his question in a knowledgeable, straightforward tone. [AS TO THIS "KYUUBI" OF WHICH YOU SPEAK, IF YOU ARE SPEAKING OF THE DEAD FOX WE FOUND IN THE CAGE, WE DECIDED TO HAVE THIS CONVERSATION IN A DIFFERENT PART OF YOUR MIND. AS TO WHO WE ARE, WE ARE THE EMOTIONAL ENTITIES OF OUR WORLD. I AM ION, THE ENTITY OF WILLPOWER.]
The yellow insect speaks up next with a menacing voice. [I AM PARALLAX, THE ENTITY OF FEAR.]
The blue bird has a feminine, soothing voice. [I AM ADARA, THE ENTITY OF HOPE.]
The orange snake's voice is full of want and trickery. [IF YOU MUST KNOW, I AM OPHIDIAN, THE ENTITY OF AVARICE].
The purple squid has a gentle and comforting voice. [I AM PROSELYTE, THE ENTITY OF COMPASSION. IT IS NICE TO MEET YOU].
The red bull speaks in an angry voice. [I AM THE BUTCHER, THE ENTITY OF RAGE.]
Finally, the violet beast introduces itself. Its voice is feminine with a seductive yet dangerous tone to it. [AND I AM THE PREDATOR, THE ENTITY OF LOVE. NOW THEN, CARE TO TELL US YOUR NAME, LITTLE ONE?]
The boy gulps. "I-I'm Naruto. Naruto Uzumaki." He then clears his throat. "So, what are you are doing here?"
[WE WILL ASK THE QUESTIONS, MORTAL! NOT YOU!] The Butcher yells at Naruto, who gets a freaked-out look on his face.
Parallax chuckles at the expression. [WHAT MY BROTHER IS TRYING TO SAY IS THAT WE SENSED SOMETHING BREAKING THROUGH THE BARRIER OF THE UNIVERSE. WHEN WE GOT HERE, WE FOUND YOU.]
[YES. NOW TELL US EVERYTHING!] Ophidian demands. [ESPECIALLY ABOUT THE POWER YOU USED TO GET HERE. I COULD USE THAT.]
[ENOUGH OF THAT.] Adara speaks up. [YOU'RE FRIGHTENING THE BOY.]
[I AGREE.] Proselyte says. [HE CAN SPEAK BETTER IF HE IS IN A CALM STATE OF MIND.]
The Butcher snorts. [YOU'RE TOO SOFT ON THE HUMAN.]
[SAYS THE ONE WHO KILLS FIRST AND ASKS QUESTIONS LATER]. The Predator retorts.
[ENOUGH!] Ion yells at his brothers and sisters, silencing them. He then turns to Naruto. [NOW THEN, NARUTO. YOU MAY ENLIGHTEN US.]
Naruto tells the entities about himself. About his birth and having the Kyuubi sealed into him, growing up alone with no friends and family, being ignored and scorned by the village, finally becoming a ninja, the missions he undertook, the friends he made along the way, and finally his fight with Sasuke that apparently lead him to a new universe.
The entities take all of this in before speaking between themselves.
[WELL, THAT WAS INTERESTING TO SAY THE LEAST]. Parallax sums up.
[INDEED, BROTHER.] Ophidian says. [FOR A BEING TO HAVE THAT MUCH POWER, ESPECIALLY TO CROSS DIMENSIONS. I DEFINETELY WANT HIM.]
[I AM MORE SURPRISED AT HOW HE WAS ABLE TO KEEP HIS SANITY AND MORALS AFTER ALL THAT HE WENT THROUGH.] Proselyte says.
[I THINK THAT HE SHOULD OF JUST KILLED THE ONES THAT TREATED HIM LIKE THEY DID.] The Butcher grunts. [AT LEAST THAT SASUKE GOT WHAT HE DESERVED.]
[I BELIEVE THAT IT IS HIS DEFIANCE OF SUCH BARBARITY IS WHAT MAKES HIM STRONG]. The Predator contrasts. [STILL, I SUSPECT THAT HE MAY HAVE MANY MATES IN HIS FUTURE.]
[NARUTO IS DEFINITELY STRONG, BOTH PHYSICALLY AND MORALLY.] Ion states. [HIS WILL TO LIVE IS GREATER THAN ANY OTHER MORTAL BEING I HAVE WITNESSED.]
Adara, after being silent for a while, finally speaks up as an idea hits her. [PERHAPS, MY SIBLINGS, HE IS THE ONE WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR. OUR VESSEL.]
All heads turn to the Hope Entity. [ADARA, ARE YOU SAYING-] Parallax started.
[INDEED, BROTHER.]
Ion contemplates this. [HE DOES FIT THE REQUIREMENTS.]
Naruto, tired of being ignored in his own mind, finally speaks up. "Um, excuse me, but what in the name of Kami are you guys talking about?"
The entities turn their attention to the boy. Ion addresses his question. [I AM AFRAID THAT WE DO NOT HAVE THE POWER TO RETURN YOU TO YOUR HOMEWORLD. THEREFORE, SHOULD YOU ACCEPT OUR OFFER, YOU CAN HAVE A CHANCE TO START OVER IN THIS UNIVERSE.]
Naruto, after being saddened by the fact that he couldn't return to his home and friends, perks up at the idea of starting over.
"What exactly is this offer?"
Adara explains. [THERE ARE THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HARNESS DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE EMOTIONAL SPECTRUM. THESE BEINGS CALL THEMSELVES "LANTERNS". UNFORTUNATELY, THIS HAS LEAD TO INFIGHTING WITHIN THE SPECTRUM. FOR SOMETIME NOW, WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO CAN BE A VESSEL FOR OUR POWER. ONE WHO CAN HANDLE ALL SEVEN EMOTIONS WITHOUT BEING DESTROYED. WE BELIEVE THAT THAT BEING IS YOU.]
Ophidian continues. [WHAT WE ARE ASKING FOR IS SIMPLE. USE OUR POWER. LIVE YOUR LIFE HOWEVER YOU WANT. EVEN CONQUER A GALAXY OR TWO FOR ALL WE CARE.]
[IN EXCHANGE, WE WISH FOR YOU TO UNITE THE SEVEN EMOTIONS AND PUT AN END TO THE CONFLICT BETWEEN THE EMOTIONS CAUSED BY THE LANTERNS.] Proselyte says.
[WILL YOU ACCEPT OUR OFFER, NARUTO UZUMAKI?] Ion asks.
Naruto ponders this offer. True, he can't go home and see his friends again. But that doesn't mean that it's the end for him. He can get a fresh start, see new places, and meet new people. There may be plenty of opportunities for him. Besides, who would say no to new powers. All he has to do is bring the Lights together.
With his answer ready, he turns to the Emotional Entities above him. "Alright. We have a deal."
[EXCELLENT.]
And with that, the seven entities point their appendages to him and begin pouring their power into him. Naruto grits his teeth at the pain of all the energy coursing through him. The powers of rage, avarice, fear, will, hope, compassion, and love fill every cell of his body. His head gets a splitting pain as information of the universe fills his brain. Finally, as soon as the process began, it stops. Naruto takes a deep breath as he gathers himself.
"So, now what?"
[NOW,] Ion declares. [YOU TRAIN. PREPARE YOURSELF.]
Time Skip: 5 months mindscape time, 5 hours real world
It's been 5 years in Naruto's mind since he met the Emotional Entities. Without the need to eat or sleep, he has been able to train nonstop in using his powers. He now has the powers of every Lantern Corps in existence. He even has the power to combine more than one emotion to create new abilities. Perhaps he'll have the chance to use those abilities in the real world.
Of course, there has been a large drawback. Since the existence and specific use of Chakra was native to his universe, he lost it when he came to this world. This is also what killed the Kyuubi, since the fox was a construct of chakra. Naruto didn't think of it as a total loss. He can duplicate some jutsu using his EmEn (Emotional Energy).
Now Naruto was standing in the presence of the Entities. Due to his training, he now stands at a comfortable 5' 10'' with a decent amount of muscle and bulk. His baby fat was long gone, giving him a lean face. All in all, he is quite the looker.
His wardrobe also changed. He now wore a military style vest over a short sleeve mesh shirt, with Tsunade's necklace hanging over it. He is also wearing pants and a pair of military boots. His vest and pants can change colors depending on his emotions. They are currently sapphire blue.
[WELL DONE, NARUTO. NOW WE HAVE NOTHING MORE TO TEACH YOU]. Adara says.
"Thanks, Adara-san!" Naruto says cheerfully.
[AND NOW, YOU MUST LEAVE YOUR MIND AND ENTER THE WORLD.] Ion declares.
Naruto's clothing shift to a blood red as he growls, "Not yet, there's something I need to take care of first." And with that, he floated away with the Entities following behind them.
They stop at the broken and rusted cage that once held the mighty Kyuubi. Now all that's left is a preserved yet lifeless corpse. Naruto gains a hungry grin as his clothing shift to amber orange. He opens his mouth wider than normal, and orange chains come out, wrapping around the Kyuubi's body and dragging it to his jaws. He swallows the fox whole and licks his lips afterwards.
"My first minion. Delicious." He chuckles insanely before turning to the entities, his blue clothes and cheerfulness returning. "Okee-dokee! Now I'm ready!"
Parallax chuckles at his actions and sudden shift in emotions. [I THINK WE CHOSE VERY WISELY, BROTHERS AND SISTERS).
Ion speaks. [YOU REMEBER WHAT YOU MUST DO?]
"Sure do. Live free, get things, and kick butts!"
[AAAND?]
"Sigh. And find a way to unite the Seven Lights."
[GOOD. THE BEST OF LUCK TO YOU, NARUTO UZUMAKI.]
And with that, Naruto's mind faded to black.
Location: Real world, Gotham Forest.
Naruto wakes up in a wooded area instead of a sewer, meaning that he was now in the real world, and apparently only five hours past in the real world since he came here. He gets up and dusts himself off. His clothes are green as he floats up into the air to look around.
His focus turns to the city nearby. Not because of the fact that it was much larger than the village of Konoha. Nor the gothic looking architecture that was enhanced by the nighttime. No, what really drew his attention was the one emotion that was most prevalent in Gotham City.
Fear.
His clothes shift to a golden yellow, and his face gets a savage grin.
"This is going to be fun."
End Chapter
A.N. So here is the first chapter. Yes, Naruto is going to be a bi-polar powerhouse with the mentality of a child sometimes. And, yes, he will have a massive harem in this fic. The combining of emotional powers will be discussed in later chapters. See you next time!
Please Review with all your might. Flamers will be ignored.
