*Author's Note:
"This is my first try at a Naruto and DC crossover so I do hope you like it. Influenced by the 3rd Shippūden Movie, "Naruto Shippūden: The Will of Fire" this story contains a multi-Kekkei genkai Uzumaki Naruto. This also brings the possibility of multiple Ninjutsu styles featured from various characters through the original and Shippūden shows. Some of them are just for the fun of it but not meant to be taken seriously. Please review and NO FLAMES.
…
His wrists were shackled together. With each tug he made the connected chains clicked and clattered, even with a bit of his added strength it did not disconnect from each other. It brought a poor impression to him for having to be restraint like this, though under the circumstances it seemed like the best decision to simply play his character out to this person. Unlike the many sheep and wolves he'd come across this one person he was confronted by wasn't like either of the two, no, he boasted something that demanded authority, demanded respect. He most certainly was no sheep, and neither was he a wolf. He was something else entirely and that was enough to make him cautious despite the difference in power.
He was a man garbed in black and grey, protected with armor and possessed a long black a long cape, etched onto his chest was a logo of some kind resembling bat, his helmet that covered his head and upper portion of his face had two long points on the side of his head, resembling bat shaped ears. And like his name, he called himself Batman.
"So you have no memory of how you got here, but you've surmised that you must have entered a rift in the Space-Time continuum and entered here in this world" his voice was gruff to the question, but he had repeated what they had been talking about for the past hour. And during their long talk each of them had given information about one another bit by bit, both of them cautiously not giving to much information that wasn't necessary. From the years of vigorous training, both mind and body it was obvious to both of them they could tell they were holding back what was needed to be said and both were easily calculating to ensure nothing slipped.
"That's right. I was in the middle of a war against an organization called the Akatsuki and leading it was a crazed madman who wanted to conquer my world by casting a powerful illusion from which no one could escape from and have everyone live in a dream world where nothing horrible could ever happen. He said it was in the name of peace; by I called it a lie from how I thought and the other countries too. I, along with my friend and Sensei were the only ones capable of putting up a fight against him. But in the midst of my fight I blacked out, and it wasn't until you showed up and explained to me of the things I don't know, like the Justice League" Uzumaki Naruto explained to him. Despite the obviousness between them in trying to figure out each other, Naruto kept up a façade to make others at ease, an act that he adopted from a doctor he met in his earlier days before the 4th Great Shinobi World War.
"You said you were a shinobi in your world, so you've killed people correct?" he could hear that edginess in his voice, obviously not liking what his profession was.
"Yes, I've killed people. At an early age they teach us, I was twelve when I made my first kill. My world was militaristic, a system involving the shinobi to act as soldiers and act as a weapon to protect our country and its people. From guarding to assassination to torture we would strive at all costs to ensure the survival of our village and in return we gain profit from our work and gain more reputation and increase trading and other businesses with other lands. It may be barbaric to your ways but that's the way we live" explained Naruto.
The pearly white eyes narrowed into slits; clearly he was not contented to hear this.
"But you've mentioned your village was destroyed" he countered, tension and suspicion was beginning to arise.
"Yes it was and I later became a 'Watari Shinobi' (Wandering Ninja). When my village was destroyed I traveled everywhere all around the Elemental Countries trying to become stronger, that was how I met my Sensei Hiruko who would teach me everything. Hiruko taught me all that I know, he helped in more ways than you could image and with some of his connections I was taught other different styles than just by being a shinobi"
"And what would those other styles be?" Batman noticed the slip up, going further in his past than needed.
It may have seemed he slipped up, but in truth he allowed it. There was nothing for him to gain for revealing information about his power, but there was also nothing for him to hide the extent of his powers either.
"Iryō-Ninjutsu (Medical Ninja Technique), during the two and half years of training with Hiruko-Sensei we'd go travel and meet up with all sorts of people. Some of them which I would learn from, some were doctors who'd teach me in the medical field. Two of them were professional doctors, Rinha 'Marisu' (Malice) and Doctor Shinnō. Both were highly profession 'Iryō-Nin' (Medical Ninja). Shinnō was a retired shinobi who quite the life of fighting and chose to become a doctor in order to save people. He taught me about the medical field and gave me extensive medical knowledge in creating medicine along with a few techniques in self-healing and healing others. However, his training didn't come close to that of Malice's medical knowledge due to her clan being so renowned for its Medical-Ninjutsu" Naruto was almost in an endless chatter, explaining his and their capabilities.
"So you were both a soldier and medic, yet you still chose to be a shinobi?"
"I was in a dark place at the time; wanting nothing more than to take vengeance on the people who destroyed my village was the only thing on my mind. And it still was, though whenever my Medical-Ninjutsu was needed I saw the outcome in saving a life rather than just taking. And when the war came I was able to save as many shinobi with my Medical-Ninjutsu, Shinnō once said 'so long as there are blades that can wound people, there are also blades that can save them'"
"And your power, you mention learning various techniques in your travels yet you didn't explain how you're able to do them" Batman responded soberly.
"What I use is called chakra. By combining physical and spiritual energy from the body and then combining it, it becomes what we call chakra. It is the source of life within all living beings; if a person has no chakra within their body then that means death. Within our bodies we have an entire system that produces and allows it to flow all throughout our bodies"
"I see" Batman said before giving a moment of silence. There were numerous outcomes to the Bat's thought. Some good, some bad, that was all there was to it in their conversation. "Tell me, what do you intend to do after this? What do you plan on doing if we let you roam free on our planet?"
"I wouldn't know" Naruto said simply. "What would there be for me. I have no home, no friends, and no allies. There isn't anything in your world for me, nothing for me to gain or to lose"
Batman walked over to his bedside, bringing out a key from his utility belt. Hearing the clicking on the cuffs and come off his wrists the blonde had rubbed them slightly from the irritating feeling he felt.
"I know you could have taken those cuffs off without any problem but you chose to cooperate and that is appreciative. However the league and I will decide on what to do with you. I would advise you stay put and wait for our decision to be made" putting the cuffs away he left the room soon after, and left the blonde to glance around in his lit room. He saw the camera at the corner of his room; no doubt the Justice League was monitoring him. Sighing he laid back on his bed, thinking to himself.
…
That long conversation was only half of the truth and half of it was a lie. The truth is the Akatsuki never initiated the 4th Great Shinobi World War like they had intended and what really caused it hastened their plans. The 4th Great Shinobi World War—while inevitable—had become premature and was caused by his sensei, Konohagakure's Missing-Nin Hiruko. It was his motive and desire that made the war premature and it was his ultimate goal to conquer the Five Great Shinobi Countries. And the power he used to declare the war was by becoming a perfect and complete immortal shinobi. His power alone truly was something that none in all the world could stand against from after gaining immortality, mastery over the five elements and wielder of five Kekkei genkai: 'Kōton' (Steel Release), 'Jinton' (Swift Release), 'Ranton' (Storm Release), 'Meiton' (Dark Release) and the 'Sharingan' (Copy Mirror Wheel Eye).
How the likes of Uzumaki Naruto met this character was back during his clash between him and his former teammate and friend Uchiha Sasuke battling against each other in the 'Shūmatsu no Tani' (Valley of The End). It had been Sasuke's intention in trying to kill him so that he could acquire the next stage of his Sharingan: the Mangekyō Sharingan. In a fierce duel between friends the battle was especially fierce had come to a close where it was Sasuke being the winner. With every reason to kill him, Sasuke however spared him and continued his path to revenge and power by abandoning his former home Konohagakure and going to Orochimaru—another Missing-Nin and traitor to the village they both originated from.
After the near death experience he gained when Sasuke didn't hold back in trying to kill him, it was at that point when Naruto realized that no matter how hard he tried, no matter how much he believe, he didn't have the strength needed in surviving the shinobi world with such wishful thinking. Through the tough years of torment from his own village he tried to become a splendid shinobi and tried to gain the respect of his peers and villagers. He tried so hard to find a silver lining, he made friends and the only one who could understand his suffering tried to kill him. He saved his village but still his people looked at him with spite.
In the end, he'd just disappointed himself for all his failed tries.
He questioned if it was really worth the effort in fighting for a village that still loathed his existence. And in that state of questioning he found an answer. Someone had watched his fight and saw his loss. A person he met shared that loneliness like his, someone who was born without any true talent that could have made him a splendid shinobi.
That man was Hiruko.
As a contemporary and former friend of the Three Legendary Sannin, Hiruko too wished to become a strong shinobi, yet was born with no natural special abilities. To overcome this disadvantage, he developed the 'Kimera Jutsu' (Chimera Technique), a Kinjutsu which would allow him to obtain the Kekkei genkai of other ninja by fusing their bodies with his own. This was sometime after the 3rd Great Shinobi World War, Hiruko's research and findings on the technique were discovered. He claimed the Third Hokage ordered the Sannin to assassinate him, forcing him to leave the village as a Missing-Nin.
It was by chance when they met each other. Hiruko had been in the area when he felt the surges of chakra spike and came to see his battle against Sasuke. Hiruko was an intelligent person, someone who was very patient and precise. But out of everything he'd done he was intrigued by him, for some reason Naruto had gained his interest and made light conversation about his battle and defeat. Out class due to his own reserves being weakened Hiruko could have killed him if he wanted to. Yet he made the effort to speak with him. Naruto didn't know what it could have been, maybe he reminded himself of Hiruko he wasn't sure but Hiruko offered him something.
He offered an opportunity in becoming stronger, an opportunity that would change the course of the world. And he agreed to it.
Becoming Hiruko's apprentice Naruto had placed his allegiance to him and followed him to the ends of the Elemental Countries in search for people with special abilities and Kekkei genkai. Hiruko's goal was to gain users with Kekkei genkai and special abilities in order to become a 'Perfect and Complete Immortal Shinobi' and use his newfound power to plunge the world into the 4th Great Shinobi World War and conquer it. And with his help, Naruto had helped Hiruko succeed in becoming an immortal shinobi and plunge the Elemental Countries into the 4th Great Shinobi World War.
He was responsible for plunging the world into its 4th Great Shinobi World War. He was responsible for so much death and destruction because after the war was initiated the Akatsuki entered and hastened their plans in acquiring the Jinchūriki. The good thing about this though, was that he had given up his status as a Jinchūriki to the 'Kyūbi' (Nine Tails). Giving up all that power was a setback on most things, but he gained a substitute that was just as powerful and just as useful. He was able to perform chakra like everyone else, but he could also perform another source of chakra.
What he chose to replace the Kyūbi's power was in the form of the 'Reibi' (Zero-Tails). Like the Kyūbi, the Zero-Tails has the ability to sense negative emotions, which it uses to seek out and possess anyone who is emotionally unstable. Afterwards, it begins to feed upon the darkness within one's heart and allows the spirit to create 'Yami-no-Chakra' (Dark Chakra). The Dark Chakra produced by the Zero-Tails grants its host a great source of power. So long as there is darkness in one's heart within the Zero-Tails' vicinity, it can continuously produce Dark Chakra at an unlimited rate.
Becoming a host for the Zero-Tails it compensated for the loss of power. The Zero-Tails' power wasn't like that of the Kyūbi, it didn't grant Naruto the immense healing factors that the Kyūbi's power would give to its host, so he had to improvise; he needed a way to find a way to cope with this disadvantage he gained from giving up his status as a Jinchūriki. This is where he would turn to 'Iryō Ninjutsu' (Medical Ninja Technique).
Uzumaki Naruto was in no way a true 'Iryō-Nin' (Medical Ninja); gaining such skills would need decades of study and perfect chakra control. For someone like him, chakra control was very difficult. And it wasn't just the control in his chakra, he need to learn vast amounts of medical knowledge about the human body, diseases and poisons. All of which Medical-Ninjutsu required a user to learn. But thanks to Hiruko's help he was able to master Medical-Ninjutsu and gain extensive medical knowledge. Learning this was no easy task, for a person who learned Medical-Ninjutsu and becoming a Medical-Nin there were four unique laws that differed themselves from the battlefield and shinobi alike.
'Daiikkō' (First Clause): No 'Iryō-Nin' (Medical-Ninja) shall ever stop medical treatment until the lives of their party members have come to an end.
'Dainikō (Second Clause): No Medical-Nin shall ever stand on the frontlines.
'Daisankō' (Third Clause): No Medical-Nin shall ever die until they are the last of their platoon.
'Daiyonkō' (Fourth Clause): Only those Medical-Ninja who have mastered the 'Ninpō Sōzō Saisei—Byakugō-no-Jutsu'(Ninja Art Creation Rebirth—Strength of a Hundred Technique) of the Ninja Art 'Sōzō Saisei (Creation Rebirth) are permitted to discard the above-mentioned laws.
With these laws the possibility for performing Medical-Ninjutsu was far more complicated that Naruto would have anticipated. But he was able to cope, learning a few methods and performances in using Medical-Ninjutsu that allowed him to defy these laws and perform in the battlefield whether if it was self-healing or healing comrades. This was an unorthodox method that very few had placed together and only a few individuals were allowed to defy these laws and perform a mixture of Medical and traditional Ninjutsu styles. There was Senju Tsunade herself, a Medic-Nin from clan of shinobi who hailed from the 'Oni-no-Kuni' (Land of Demons) named Yomi, and the traveling Medic-Nin who was a descendant of the 'Sora-no-Kuni' (Land of Sky), the Doctor named Shinnō.
These few all contained special traits that made them very unique compared to traditional Medical-Nins. Senju Tsunade for her monstrous strength, Yomi who's 'Yami no Iryō Ninjutsu' (Dark Medical Ninja Technique) was able to increase the human body's potential, and Shinnō who created a 'Jutsu' (Technique) that allowed him to combine Medical-Ninjutsu with traditional Ninjutsu. And what each Medic-Nin had in common was their ability to utilize both Medical-Ninjutsu and traditional Ninjutsu that allowed them to defy the four laws.
Following Hiruko's method in assimilating people with unique abilities and Kekkei genkai he was able to establish his chakra control by assimilated a kunoichi named Rinha 'Marisu' (Malice) who hailed from the Rinha Clan. The Rinha Clan specialized in Medical-Ninjutsu so proficient that they, during past wars, were targeted by shinobi from other countries to steal their secrets. Malice was the most skilled kunoichi of the Rinha Clan when her clan was around. She was capable of using her clan's Medical Techniques and Forbidden Techniques with little effort. And then there was her Clan's Kekkei genkai—an ability that made her a worthy candidate to use the Chimera Technique. Her Kekkei genkai granted its user the ability to absorb chakra either from physical contact or from a distance using a medium of any kind. Not only that, it allowed the user to absorb the memories of the intended target, creating perfect copies. Assimilating her granted him access to her Kekkei genkai along with her memories of her past life and gaining her medical knowledge.
Throughout the next two and half years Naruto had multiple run in with the Akatsuki numerous times but each on separate occasion. And facing them in the war was no surprise. They still lacked the information needed when he gave up his status as the Jinchūriki of the Kyūbi. But their presence did shift the battle and Hiruko's plan in conquering the Elemental Countries. In the midst of battle where he and Uchiha Sasuke were facing against Uchiha Madara—quite ironic knowing the both of them had turned into Missing-Nin and had more than one occasion tried to kill each other—joined forces in order to fight against the most insane and powerful foe ever. Hiruko aided them thanks to his own chances in facing against the legendary Uchiha.
That's when his world became black and found himself waking up; he woke up in a hospital bed.
Of all places he found himself here lying on a hospital bed. The smell of medicine, that faint scent was always a dead giveaway, plus the bandages covering his body and the left side of his face were also indications of someone giving him medical treatment. And when Batman had come to talk to him, it was from him that he was able to steadily restore his deplete reserves. That's what made Batman so different; he was a man who carried so much hatred in heart. The Zero-Tails' fed and created endless Dark Chakra during their time talking. His depleted reserves had been replenished and granted him the time to heal himself.
Closing his eyes and taking a breath he began. Down to his Tenketsu Naruto increased the flow of ominous chakra being released, feeling it move all throughout his entire Chakra Pathway System. Make sure there were no abnormalities he began to initiate his chosen Jutsu, 'Nikutai Kassei no Jutsu' (Body Revival Technique)Naruto thought.
From underneath his blankets his entire body had gone to work healing itself. The Body Revival Technique was a high-level Medical-Ninjutsu, and Doctor Shinnō's signature technique. The principals' of this technique was to take advantage of the muscles' ability to grow stronger after repairing itself from damage. Understanding this theory, the Body Revival Technique can repair the user's body and increase its strength by manipulating the "Destruction and Rebirth" cycle of the muscles. So by applying to most basic of Medical-Ninjutsu to the technique his body, not only was he healing at near superhuman levels, but also his strength would increase from the amount of damage he would receive every time.
In a few short minutes his entire body had fully healed. Any abrasions he might have received were healed along with his damaged muscle tissue and organs. Sitting upright on his bedside and placing his feet on the cold floor below, Naruto was undoing the bandages wrapped around his body. Looking at the cast that encased his whole right arm, making it in an L shaped angle he flexed it, causing the cast to rip apart as if it were wet paper. Shaking the crumbles off his arm and rotating his wrist gaining a satisfying popping Naruto made a blissful sigh.
'With my body healed I might as well kill some time using it' Naruto thought and immediately went to the floor and began to do pushups. For now he waited.
…
'I wasn't expecting this, but I shouldn't be too surprised. This is probably there way is keeping an eye on me. But I suppose it gives me a sense of purpose' Naruto thought. A day had gone by and Naruto found himself in the end result of his choice and the decision made by the Justice League. Giving him an opportunity Batman offered him a position in a developing team made by a few of their protégés and would be performing covert missions. Even for someone like him Naruto was still a trained warrior and asked how much it would pay him. The first response Batman gave him was that it didn't pay him and that he would be provided with a roof over his head and necessities. If there was one thing Naruto had, it was his pride as a former shinobi and Missing-Nin. Naruto refused, he did not want someone's charity. If was going to risk his life, if he was let the League use his service then he requested compensation for his abilities.
So with negotiation Batman did agree so long as he did not kill. That was the League's one rule and if he defied it then he would face the consequences. He may not understand such a thing but he agreed.
{"Recognized, Uzumaki Naruto B-06"}
That robotic female voice echoed just as he teleported from his current location and then fazing into existence in a bright yellow light where he would come into a new location that would be his new home. From here he saw Batman, Black Canary, Aquaman, Hawk Man, the Flash, and Red Tornado along with the team he would be assigned to.
Batman had given him the basic information about his new teammates. The genetic clone of Superman: only known as Superboy, the niece of Martian Manhunter: M'gann M'orzz, the protégé of Batman: Robin, the protégé of The Flash: Kid Flash, and the protégé of Aquaman: Aqualad.
Batman introduced him to the Team, "Allow me to introduce to your sixth member, his name is Uzumaki Naruto".
"It's a pleasure" Naruto bowed. "I look forward to working alongside you all".

*Author's Note: It was short, probably terrible to read but got straight to the point about Naruto's possibilities and a bit about his past. I will get to detail about the other characters so just wait till then. So, just review and tell me what you think.
