(AN: I just have to first apologize for how long this chapter took. Both of my co-authors opted out, so I am now writing this alone, and I have been working a lot. I'm also on vacation right now, but I wrote this to hopefully tide you guys over until I can write the next piece. So enjoy!)
"Might I ask what you are doing in this realm, young boy? Alfheim should have been deserted aeons ago."
The young boy, Naruto, he had called himself, blinked in confusion. "Alf-what? What the heck are you talking about? We've always been here-waaaaait," he instantly turned suspicious and put his face close to Thor's.
"You aren't some kind of spy, are ya? You and your friends DO look kinda funny..." he glanced back at the rest of the company, and let his eyes linger on Steve, as he was the only one in full 'uniform'(Tony would have been too, but he had created a new suit that could keep itself hidden by flying around in the air without him, Natasha's black leather didn't look all too strange to the boy, and, well, he had seen stranger costumes than what the Asgardians were wearing). Steve threw his hands up in surrender while Thor replied with, "Spies? Oh no, we are here as friends. How do you people put it on Earth...?"
He looked back at his group, and Bruce said with a somewhat lazy attitude, "We come in peace."
"Ah yes. We come in peace; we mean you no harm."
Loki snorted, which made Naruto alternately stare at him and the rest of the company for a few more moments before saying, "Aw, okay, I'll believe you-for now," he glared at Loki. "But if you guys cross me, I'm gonna haffta do something about it. I'm gonna be the next hokage, and I will protect this village from anyone-even you."
He started walking back through the gate and made a motion for the others to follow him. Thor had absolutely no idea what a hokage was, but he just shrugged to the other avengers and followed the boy.
"Alright, so I was going to go run an errand for this lady that lost her cat*he muttered under his breath 'again'*, but I have a little bit of time to show you guys around." They walked past what appeared to be a school, as there were several young children running around a track. "Here is the academy, where students train to be a genin." They walked a bit farther in silence, because although the company had no idea what half of what this boy was talking about was, none of them thought to ask, because they were too busy drinking in the sights around them(the avengers were amazed there was another planet even remotely similar to their own, Loki was being, well, Loki, and Thor was too busy trying to figure out how to make Loki NOT be Loki). They passed a book shop, and the ninja said something about smut and dirty old perverts, and they kept walking on by.
They soon were led to a ramen shop, and Naruto turned to them and said, "And THIS is the best place to eat in the whole village! They make the best ramen you've ever tasted. I'm hungry, and since I'm assuming none of you have any money, it'll be my treat."
Thor nodded, and decided to ask, "Young boy, that sounds wonderful, but I do have something I would like to discuss, and I was hoping you might point us in the direction of your leader."
"You wanna talk to the hokage, huh(that answered THAT question)? Well, the hokage is-"
He never got to finish that sentence, because just then, a very loud, VERY pissed off female voice screamed, "NARUTO," and the ground below them began to quiver as if something really heavy had just hit it hard.
