...then nothing.
An empty void of white surrounded his unconscious body he drifted deeper into nothingness. That was until Naruto was suddenly enveloped in a green liquid. He was drowning in this substance and awoke experiencing a feeling similar to medical ninjutsu. 'Bwah! Where am I? What the hell is this stuff? Hehe it feels like Katsuya's healing jutsu.' Naruto then figured out he was in some kind of pool, so he decided to get out and figure out what happened. "Amazing, this must be some new jutsu Tusnade made to heal me but how did I get out of the portal? Hmm...must've been Shikamaru or Sai." Naruto examined the room he was in which turned out to be an underground cavern. "What is this place? a dungeon? What do you think Kurama?"
Kurama, who was conscious during everything, was still trying to figure out what went wrong with the portal. All he gathered was briefly sensing an outside force at work, but he moved on knowing the damage was permanent and they appeared safe. "Ehh Kurama!" Naruto called Kurama out of his thoughts. "hmm, it appears to be some kind ritual ground don't you notice all the weird statues, dumbass?! We are definitely not in Konoha." Naruto noticed the demon-like head on the walls, pillars, and pit. It quickly made him jump seeing all the creepy architecture.
"You don't think we were saved by Orochimaru? because all of this feels like one of his gross experiments." Asked Naruto.
"Orochimaru would've extracted me from you or he would've used you for his imperfect immortality jutsu in order to gain your Uzumaki bloodline, either way you wouldn't be alive." Naruto took this time to go into sage mode just to be safe. He meditated in front of the pit, gathering nature chakra from all around him. Slowly his eyes turned yellow and his pupil became like that of a frog along with a shade of orange just above his eye.
What came next was something Naruto could have never prepared for. 'What the fuck? Where is everybody's chakra?' Naruto found many chakra signatures in what appeared to be a temple but what amazed him were how faint everyone's chakra was, almost non-existent. He could feel the chakra of people all around him, but their chakra wasn't nearly as big as it was for a normal person in Konoha. He also deduced that wherever he was at it had to be an island. Naruto then noticed two men were heading his way, "Time to meet our captors?" Naruto muttered to himself as he prepared himself for a fight. A secret passageway was revealed to Naruto as the two men stepped forward, shocked at what appeared to be an intruder in their hidden temple. One of them stepped forward hoping to talk to this intruder, he was a tall man, clearly in his prime, with black hair along with some gray hair on the side. He wore a green cloak and was dressed in in all black outfit. He looked strong and so did the man next to him, who was taller than him and looked even stronger. The only mystery left were both of their names.
"And who might you be?" said the man. Naruto lowered his guard and wondered if they were crazy or he was because he didn't catch a word of that. He certainly wasn't expecting them to say gibberish.
"{Huh...What'd you say?}" Naruto spoke up.
"Hmm? Japanese then. {I said who might you be? An assassin? A ninja? A thief? Do you even realize what the punishment for even standing in this room uninvited is?}"
"{My name Naruto Uzumaki and I'm a ninja, but there seems to be a misunderstanding I just showed up here.}" Naruto explained to the man. The man raised an eyebrow at his stupid explanation and smiled.
"{Oh, well in that case I am Ra's al Ghul and you are on Infinity Island, Home of the League of Shadows but more importantly you are in the secret Lazarus Pit." He then gestured his hand toward the bald gentlemen. "And this here is Ubu, my faithful servant.}" Ra's then stretched his arm and shook hands with Naruto.
"{Nice to meet you. Hey, where am-}" Naruto stopped talking and dodged Ra's sword which surprised him since he dropped his guard. "{What gives? I thought you believed me?}" Naruto yelled.
"{Did you really think I believed your idiotic excuse or that I would even allow you to leave after bathing in my Lazarus pit?!}" Ra's yelled, furious at Naruto, as he started slashing at him obviously oblivious to how powerful Naruto is. Ra's was relentless, but Naruto knew he outclassed Ra's as he dodged every one of Ra's attacks, but Ra's quickly observed and took notice of Naruto's superhuman skill, so he studied his moves and continued to attack. 'Slash to the right, he dodges. Thrust, Sidestepped. Strike at head. Ducked. His abilities far exceed my own. I should capture him and bring him to The Light.' "{No one steps one foot in this room and lives! I am the Demon's head! Leader of the Shadow! You may be more skilled than I am, but you lack the superior intellect. Ubu now!}"
"Yes Master." Ra's servant rushed to the wall and pushed a specific brick which released knockout gas into the room.
"{What?}" Naruto was caught by surprise. 'Knockout gas, I walked right into that one. Nothing a rasengan can't solve although I might hurt whoever else is in this temple.'
"{Goodbye, we'll retrieve your body shortly.}" Ra's used Naruto's confusion to his advantage and retreated along with his servant went through a secret passageway sealing Naruto inside.
"{Bastard.}" Naruto quickly held his breath and as the gas slowly spread throughout the room he formed a rasengan. 'Dumbass, how weak does he think I am?' Naruto ran towards the wall that Ra's left from and smashed into it with the rasengan, completely destroying it. He found a tunnel on the other side of the wall and the two now unconscious villains. "{Better luck next time Ray'z All Ghoul or whatever your name is.}" After a short run he found the stairs that led him outside. "{That wasn't so bad. Time for some fresh air.}" Naruto grinned as he opened the doors. He walked into a throne room of sorts filled with gold, swords, and cloaks which no doubt belonged to Ra's. 'Amazing. I wish I had enough money as this guy.' Naruto headed out of the throne room and into the temple grounds where an assembled league of shadows stood waiting for him. The sheer number of assassins could make any grown man have heart attack right then and there, but Naruto stood his ground and laughed? "{Hahaha, Look I don't- heh heh I don't want to hurt you guys.}" Swords were drawn, archers readied their bows, guns were loaded, and several helicopters assembled. Naruto sighed. 'This is just sad.' He readied a kunai from his pouch. "{I'm getting off this stupid island and going back to Konoha and you won't stop me!}" The assassins charged at full speed and a fury of bullets and arrows were shot at Naruto. 'Ok, got to keep the jutsu's to a minimum and use light taijutsu attacks. I don't want to kill these guys.' Naruto weaved through arrows and deflected the hailstorm of ammunition launched at him. He rushed assassins head on and used his superior speed as his main offense. 'Geez, these assassins are nothing compared to a ninja.' Naruto thought as he casually kicked, punched and knocked out every assassin. "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu." Several clones appeared, and the ninjas jump towards the helicopters and destroyed each of them with a rasengan. It would be 13 minutes later that Naruto would find that he had beaten every assassin on the island and by that time his sage mode ran out. "{Well that was easy.}" Naruto said. He looked at the sun beaming down on the island and was ready to go home. He was about to leave when he noticed the sun was green.
A man dressed in black while in a green bubble floated down to him. More people came donning several strange outfits and they descended on the island and were met with a confused ninja. "Hey Bats who the hell is the kid?" The red one with lightning ears asked.
"Answers." Batman replied and walked over to Naruto, hoping to beat answers out of him and to find out who took out the Shadows. "I'm only going to ask this once, who are you and what happened here?" Batman asked as he interrogated the ninja.
"{I have no idea what you said! Who are you freaks and where am I?! or do I have to beat the answers out of you?!}" Batman groaned as he had just asked the same thing.
"{I'll ask the questions here. Me and my friends don't take kindly to your threats. Answer me, who are you and what happened here?}" Batman asked again. Naruto looked at him and thought what harm could it be to tell him his story not to mention these guys looked like trouble he didn't need.
"{Like I told Ray'z or whatever his name is, my name is Naruto Uzumaki and I'm a ninja from Konohagakure. I don't know how I got here and appeared in... uh...Ray'z Lasabis pit? Anyway, he found me and got angry for being in there, but I escaped and beat everyone up.}" Naruto looked at Batman hoping for him to answer his questions, so he could go back to Konoha. Batman was amazed at how someone his age beat the entire league of shadows all on his own but even more, so he was worried at what kind of power this boy possessed.
"J'onn check if he's telling the truth." Batman ordered.
"You will have your answers shortly." The Martian entered Naruto's mind but was knocked out of it immediately by a tremendous force. "Ahhh!" J'onn yelled in pain as he fell back from the backlash. "He has great resistance to my telepathy. It is by far the deadliest I've ever encountered...he spared me. Although it wasn't just him in there." The Justice League felt uneasy about this kid and were ready to engage. Naruto noticed the shift in tone and pulled out a kunai.
'Don't trust them kid! The Green Demon tried to use your mind against us. If it wasn't for me you'd be under his influence.' Kurama informed. Naruto was shocked that they tried to pull such a move and now he noticed they were hostile. 'No doubt about it kid they're ready for a fight.'
Batman raised his hand as a gesture for the League to cease. "Stand down. {We're not here for a fight you Naruto. We could be on the same side, but you hurt Martian Manhunter and to put it bluntly, we don't trust you.}"
"Manhuntor? {That thing tried to attack my mind! You bastards had no reason to attack if you wanted a peaceful talk, right!}" Naruto argued.
"{He wasn't going to attack you, just read your mind to check if you were telling the truth. I want you to come to our headquarters for questioning and, so we could take you back home but for now I am Batman and we are the Justice League. This is Green Lantern, Captain Atom, Red Tornado, Superman, The Flash and Martian Manhunter.}"
Superman walked over to Batman and whispered in his ear. "My x-ray vision tells me he's not from earth, could be trouble." Batman nodded in agreement. "By the way Ra's isn't on the island, must've escaped in the confusion."
"We'll have to deal with Ra's later then. Let's put him in a holding cell until we can figure out where he came from. {We'd like to take you to a zeta tube, it will transport us to our base. Can you fly?}" Batman wanted to learn as much as he could in case things got out of hand. Naruto didn't know how to answer,
'These guys seem trustworthy and flying is probably normal to them, Yo Kurama what should I say?' Naruto appeared inside his mindscape with a giant 9-tailed fox.
'Don't lie to them for now but be on your guard. We don't know what else they can do.' Kurama gave Naruto his insight.
'Thanks' "{Yeah I can fly. Why?}" Naruto replied.
"{Good, we'll lead the way while Captain Atom and Red Tornado deal with the mess you left.}" Naruto turned on his Six Path Mode and started levitating. Flash and Green Lantern looked at each other with looks of confusion as if to say, 'what's the deal with this guy?'. Everyone shrugged off their confusion a second later thinking it must be normal for him. Then the League levitated over the ground and Green Lantern made a construct bubble for Batman. Although neither member knew what was coming. Naruto proved to be able to keep up with the Justice League as they flew over the ocean and headed to Mount Justice, former headquarters of the Justice League. Naruto noticed changes in the earth's water, the atmosphere, and the smell. Naruto stopped flying when he saw the mountain and the harbor.
'This doesn't look like any place I've been to or any place on the map. These people are strange, strong, like monsters. This isn't Konoha for sure, but this isn't even the shinobi world. Who talks the way they do? Who dresses like them? It doesn't make any sense. I'm...I'm not home.' Superman noticed Naruto's panicking and flew towards him to welcomed him Happy Harbor in Japanese. Naruto was still frozen in his place, so Superman decided to tap on his shoulder and asked if he was ok. Naruto turned his attention to the hero and decided to keep calm and demand answers as soon as he visited their headquarters. "{I'm fine, but I just realized this isn't my home and I'm not from here.}" Naruto's cheerful expression finally faded.
Superman placed his hand on Naruto's shoulder and comforted him. "{I'm not from here either but this is my home. We'll sort this out Naruto, just trust us.}" Superman then flew to Batman and told him everything Naruto said, in english. "Bruce, he's just a kid let's call off the cell. He confided in me, trusted us, to give him answers." Batman was worried that this interrogation could go south but agreed with superman. Out of nowhere the bubble construct turned into a small platform Bruce was standing on. The heroes turned to Hal.
"Sorry, it looked kind of awkward you being in a bubble and all." Hal apologized, Martian Manhunter laughed while Bruce nodded and continued.
"On one condition Clark, I'll ask the questions." They turned to Naruto who was levitating there with a pained look. "If he is from another planet then I'm sure Hal can talk to the guardians and get him home. There is no plan for him being from a different universe…. just be ready for the worst."
"What's makes you say that bats?" Green Lantern asked.
"Do you know any other humanoid race that speaks perfect japanese."
"Yeah and he's right there." Green Lantern joked pointing at Superman to which Batman bat-glared at. "Sorry Mr. Brooding." Batman continued his glare which made Hal uncomfortable. "Let's just get this over with (before I get the fun sucked out of me)."
Upon arriving Naruto depowered himself and each of the Justice League members were scanned into the mountain. They then went inside Mount Justice to use the Zeta Tube. Naruto was of course given temporary override clearance. Unfortunately for Naruto he had no idea what was going on, he was just going wherever the League went. After a short flight through the newly built headquarters, the heroes and ninja arrived at the Zeta Tube. Superman stepped forward and started to explain what Naruto was going to experience. "{This is a Zeta tube and what we're going to do is teleport you to our headquarters in space. All you have to do is walk through it. I'll go first for good measure.}" Clark walked towards the portal and was scanned by the portal. Superman 01. Superman walked through the tube and vanished into thin air. Afterwards Batman motioned for Naruto to enter the tube. Naruto reluctantly agreed. Naruto walked out of the Zeta tube inside The Watchtower where he saw Superman waiting for him. "{Cool, right?}"
"{Are we in space?}" Naruto couldn't tell. He just knew he was somewhere else.
"{See for yourself.}" Superman pointed to some windows. Naruto slowly walked towards them and saw all of earth as well as the sun in the far distance.
'I never got to appreciate the view.' Naruto thought as he recounted his fight on the moon with Toneri. Just then. the rest of the heroes appeared through the zeta tube and started to talk amongst themselves while Naruto was preoccupied with his thoughts.
"So, shall we escort the boy to the holding cell." Martian Manhunter suggested.
"No, we'll do it here. No need to intimidate him any further. Just be on alert." Superman instructed. They all walked towards Naruto and were about to begin interrogating him.
"Everyone wait. beep Wonder Woman come to the transport center." Batman said on comms. A few seconds later she arrived from monitor duty to the transport center.
"Who's this?" She said curious as to why a young adult was doing in the most secure place on earth. Naruto was still waiting for them to say something.
"That's what we're here to find out. We'll need your lasso to interrogate him." Wonder Woman then handed to lasso to bats. "Thank you."
"I would like it back once you've concluded your business." Diana warned.
"Of course." Batman walked up to Naruto. "{Naruto, I need you to grab this.}" Naruto got out his thoughts and did what Batman instructed.
"{Huh? Uh...okay? Now what?}"
"Why is Batman speaking Japanese?" Diana asked.
"Um, that's all the kid knows...as far we know?" Green Lantern answered.
"What's so important about him?"
"The boy managed to defeat a large faction of The League of Shadows seemingly all on his own." Diana was struck back by that and decided to stick around for the interrogation.
"{Who are you?}" Batman asked.
"{Uzumaki Naruto.}"
"{How did you get to Infinity Island?}"
"{Is that where I was? um...I don't know how I got there. Last thing I remember is leaving the moon. then I woke up in the lasabus pit.}" Naruto didn't want to mention the moon but as long as he held the lasso he was compelled to tell the truth. "{What is going on?!}"
"{I'm here to help you figure what happened but I need complete honesty from you Naruto. That's where this lasso comes in. As long as you touch it you'll speak the truth. Just to make things easier I'm won't keep anything from you Naruto.}" Batman wrapped the lasso around his wrist. Naruto nodded and did the same. "{Let's continue. Why were you on the moon?}"
"{My friends and I were on a mission from the Hokage to stop Toneri from using the tenseigan to crash the moon into the earth. We managed to find a portal to the moon and I fought Toneri. In the end I convinced him to not destroy the earth and we went back to earth.}"
"{Except for you?}"
"{Yeah except for me.}"
"{What do you think happened? Did something go wrong?}" Batman asked. Suddenly it all came back to him. A surge of memories flooded in and Naruto realized what happened.
"{Yeah something did go wrong.}"
