First story ever, so don't judge too harshly. I do not own either Naruto or Green Lantern. Only concepts belong to me. Any updates that I make will be sporadic, if any.
It was chaos everywhere. The corpses of fallen Leaf Shinobi and civilians littered the remains of the once great Village hidden in the Leaves. Earlier in the day, the leader of the missing nin group, Akatsuki, Pain appeared with his Paths, and laid waste to the village. Any and all attempts to stop failed. Famous shinobi such as Kakashi Hatake and Maito Guy, and even the new generation of great shinobi, the Konoha 8, had fallen. All that was left was the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade Senju, and even she was on her last legs.
"Where is the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki?" Demanded the Deva path.
"Even if I knew, I would not tell you." Growled Tsunade.
Before Pain could finish off the injured woman, he became aware of a new and large chakra signature moving quickly towards the ruins of the Leaf Village.
"It appears that you weren't needed. The Kyuubi is coming to me." Remarked Pain.
"Naruto, you idiot! You were supposed to be safe!" Tsunade mentally yelled.
Pain focused his Rinnegan towards the signature, trying to see the figure rapidly approaching him. There he was, the final piece of his goals. With the Kyuubi's capture, only a few more steps to peace.
Finally, like a hero from a children's tale, Naruto arrived, upon his Toad summon, his Sage coat flowing behind him, and to those few survivors, it was almost as if the Fourth Hokage had come back from the dead.
"PAIN!" Yelled Naruto, " this ends here!"
With that, Naruto and his summons lept down into the pit that was once the Great Village Hidden in the Leaf's. As Naruto and the Toads glared at Pain, Tsunade began to scream at Naruto.
"Get out of here you idiot! You can't take Pain on! He'll kill you!" As Tsunade continued to yell, the few amongst Naruto's friend's who were still conscious joined in, yelling for Naruto to flee.
"Don't worry Granny Tsunade. I know that I can beat him!" Naruto said reassuringly. He than turned to directly face and gave her a smile, not his foolish smile so many people had grown accustomed to over the years, but a calm smile, as if Naruto knew that he would win.
"How can you be so confident? The Leaf Village is in a state of ruin, most of it's warriors and civilians are dead, there is no hope." Pain said, gesturing to the surrounding destruction.
As Pain said this, Naruto just stared at Pain for a moment before replying. "There is always hope. This Village built by the First Homage may be destroyed, and many of its people slain at your hands, but I know with all my heart, that all will be well, believe it!" Naruto finished with a yell.
The instant that Naruto finished his speech, the area was lit up as though in a blue spot light. Confused, both Pain and Naruto began looking around for the source of the light.
"Look!" Yelled out one of the survivors, pointing right behind Naruto. Spinning around, Naruto saw what appeared to be a shooting star, aimed right at him! As this star neared, Naruto could begin to see through the glare, what appeared to be a blue ring. Finally, the ring stopped right in front of Naruto and began to speak.
"Naruto Uzumaki of the Village Hidden in the Leaves. You have the ability to inspire great hope." It spoke in a voice that Naruto couldn't help but feel calm, even though it's monotone also disturbed him. As Naruto stood, stunned by this turn of events, the ring slipped itself onto his right middle finger, with Naruto lightly noting that the ring fit perfectly on his finger.
"Welcome to the Blue Lanterns."
"All will be well." Naruto found himself saying.
