Chapter 2

The training facility at the Kage League headquarters was extraordinary. The Kage League was a League of superheroes working together to keep the world as peaceful as possible.

He began training immediately. He was pushing his body and abilities to new levels, new speeds, new precision. He had never focused this hard in training before. The Avenger was making him grow in ways he didn't know were possible. A week into training, Jiraiya was released from the medical bay and observed Naruto's training along with the growing number of spectators. Jiraiya always new Naruto had the ability to become to strongest hero of them all. Not because of the demon sealed inside him but because of who Naruto was as a human being. He watched as Naruto pushed himself passed exhaustion and continued training until his body collapsed on the floor.

"He's really something, huh?" A familiar voice spoke next to Jiraiya. He smiled at the beautiful busty woman next to him.

"Yea. He is." The Sage agreed.

The two old friends watched as a pink haired beauty known as Tsunade's protégée stormed the training area while yelling at the unconscious man about pushing himself too hard. The young healer with powers akin to Tsunade shook the exhausted young man awake before dragging him out to get rest.

"Naruto." Sakura growled warningly, "you can't keep pushing yourself like this. The human body can't take this sort of strain."

"Sorry Sakura but I have to get stronger. I have to stop that Avenger guy and I mean…you know how strong the Akatsuki is getting! We have to stop those guys!" Naruto flailed his arms frantically. Sakura pinched his ear and drug him to his room.

"Sleep." She commanded to a pouting Naruto. The two stared at each other, both refusing to concede. Finally, the pinkette sighed in frustration. "Please Naruto? Just take a nap and then we can get Ramen. My treat." She bribed. Luckily, it worked for Naruto grinned largely and pumped his first in the air, "Alright! Ramen! Get out so I can sleep and we can go!"

The young woman would have retaliated for his rudeness but let his be since he agreed to take a nap. She turned down the hall and could still hear the loud blond chanting, "Ramen! Ramen! Ramen!" in his room.

Sakura found herself in common room four with Ino, Shikamaru, and Chouji waiting for the dumb blond to wake from his nap when Kiba, Rock Lee, and Gaara entered. Ino was part of the Kage League's interrogation staff. She had the power to enter another's mind so she used her power off the battle field, helping with the interrogation of those brought in my heroes and sidekicks. Shikamaru, a certified lazy genius was one of the top intelligence operatives for the League. Chouji, oddly enough, worked in the kitchen of the League. He has the power of expansion but decided years ago to use other talents off the battle field.

"Hey guys." Ino called out from the couch, "We're going to get Ramen when Naruto wakes up. You down?"

"Oh ramen with friend Naruto! How youthful!" Guy's sidekick, Rock Lee exclaimed loudly.

Gaara shrugged noncommittally but Sakura knew he was going. He has had a soft spot for Naruto since the two were teenagers and Naruto helped Gaara through some tough times. Since then, Sakura has had the suspicious that the red head harbors a crush for the energetic blond. Since Naruto helped Gaara turn from a life of crime, he has worked in a three man team with his brother and sister for more covert missions with the League.

Kiba answered Ino by whooping excitedly with Akamaru. The two were almost as annoying as the blond they were waiting for. The dog boy worked in tracking for the League along with his girlfriend Hinata. Unfortunately, years ago a member or the Akatsuki developed a way to mask their scent from the tracker making it impossible for him to track or recognize the main threats using his power. But the smaller threats generally didn't think to mask their scent from the tracker making his abilities useful to the League still.

"What a drag." Shikamaru muttered without opening his eyes from his place on the floor.

"Oh shut up Shika, you're too lazy. No girl will want to be with you." Ino nudged the man with her foot annoyed.

"Women are bothersome." The man added without missing a beat. Gaara nodded slightly heading to the couch to sit in wait of the blond. Soon the room was filled with chatter while they waited for the young man napping.

"RAMEN TIME!" The doors to common room four slammed open revealing a rested blond with a smile plastered on his excited face. "Hey everyone!" Naruto called out surprised, "Are you guys coming, too?"

Sakura answered for everyone, "Of course. We haven't all hung out in weeks. Are you ready?"

Naruto smiled and nodded in response, glad to see his friends again. Maybe he should break from training to spend time with his friends more often. The group headed to the garage and to load up in the more inconspicuous vehicles the Kage League owned. The group was dressed in street clothes to blend in with the city. Naruto wore dark washed jeans with an orange and black jacket hung open and a black V-neck underneath, clinging to his abs in the most alluring way. His blond hair was spiked in all directions like always and his blue eyes sparkled with laughter.

The group took two cars to the restaurant where they waited in line for a table for their large group. The friends talked loudly in line, making jokes and talking about life outside the League.

"You look as radiant as ever my flower." Lee suddenly exclaimed to Sakura, bowing down dramatically to the blushing girl. Naruto tried to hide his laughter behind his hand before he joined the bushy brow man beside him, bowing down dramatically, "Oh yes. Radiant Sakura!" Sakura punched Naruto in the head, "Stop that Naruto!" She blushed deeper making Naruto laugh even more. When Naruto first moved into the Kage League with his Godfather he was hit with a sudden crush for the pink haired girl and when the two were 16 they dated briefly only to end things a few months later, both seeing their relationship to be more like siblings than lovers. Naruto tried dating a man after Sakura and found out his interest in both genders. Since his brief and confusing relationship with Sai, Naruto has focused on becoming stronger and has not had time for dating men or women. The group continued laughing and joking with each other. The restaurant they were waiting at was pretty cheap but made Naruto's favorite ramen ever. He wished he could have their ramen hooked directly into his blood stream.

Across the street was a new high end restaurant that clearly as receiving a lot of business. The valet never seemed to rest, parking car after expensive car. The group looked over when Kiba started to drool at the sight of a black Ferrari LaFerrari pulling into the valet line across the street. Naruto watched with rapt attention as the driver stepped from the car into the night. The fit man was clad in a navy suit and held himself with graceful arrogance than didn't allow Naruto to look away. The man's hair was short and black, the back spiking out in a way that defied gravity. The man turned slightly allowing Naruto a greater view of the man's front. The pale being across the street turned his perfectly defined face toward Naruto's group and fastened his black eyes on Naruto in complete indifference. Naruto smiled shyly at the man who seemed unimpressed, turning back to the valet. The passenger door opened shortly after and a red haired woman with glasses in a form hugging black dress stepped out of the car. The couple walked into the restaurant and disappeared from sight.

The group took a collective sigh.

"Woah." Ino spoke the words everyone was thinking, "That had to have been the hottest guy I have ever seen." She spoke seriously. Sakura nodded numbly, eyes still glued to where the man once was.

Naruto snapped from his daze suddenly, "Psh! I'm totally hotter than that bastard! He looked like an ass anyway! Can't beat my winning personality!" Naruto yelled confidently wiggling his eyebrows at the group. Soon after Kiba and Naruto were arguing over who was hotter until the group was seated for dinner. Once everyone was seated, the mysterious man and his date were forgotten.

Naruto had four bowls before Sakura cut him off and asked for the check. He complained loudly but no one would budge.

"You're going to get fat if you keep eating like that." Gaara contributed in his monotone.

Naruto cried out indignantly, "As if! Check out these washboard abs!" Naruto suddenly lifted up his shirt to reveal his sculpted figure to the table. Luckily for Gaara, Sakura scolded him quickly, forcing him to lower his shirt once again.

"No one wants to see that you pervert. You're hanging out with Jiraiya too much." Kiba poked. Once again the two erupted in a loud argument over who was the most perverted ending in the group being kindly asked to head out. The League members headed back to their vehicles and began to make their way home. Naruto was looking out the window on the freeway watching a black Ferrari LaFerrari speed past when he fell asleep once again.

Naruto woke up the next day still in his clothing from last night, sans shoes, in his own bed. One of the guys must have carried him to his room which means they couldn't wake him up. He really did need some rest it seemed. Naruto got ready for the day before heading to the training facility for the day. Kakashi and Jiraiya sparred with him in the afternoon allowing Naruto to see his improvement and weaknesses. All who were watching were pleasantly surprised with his progress as he took on the two heroes as once, not being too overwhelmed.

Dinner time was approaching when Naruto decided to head to grab some food. He was passing the control room when the alarm sounded, rushing back inside he found the alarm sounded for an attack on Konoha by the Avenger. Naruto suited up along with Jiraiya in preparation to head out. It was an unspoken agreement that the Avenger was for the two men.

Shikamaru followed the two around to debrief them on the situation.

"It seems the Avenger has attacked city hall. We have reason to believe he is searching for something. We are not sure what, but he has already killed one council member so you two need to act quickly. He's carrying a sword with him now" Shika followed the two heading to their vehicle about to depart to the scene, "We've just notified the officials that the Toad Sage and Fox are on their way. I'll patch any new information to your ear pieces." He finished.

The two men rushed to the scene together. Naruto was ready to test his growth on the man who inspired him to work so hard. City Hall was a madhouse. They were able to get past the barricade easily because of the notification of their arrival. The police force allowed the two in without debate. Jiraiya jumped into the second story window from the ground while Naruto busted into the front doors. He was caught off guard as he narrowly dodged an oncoming sword. At first he expected the Avenger but was surprised to see someone new. A white haired man with jagged teeth and an eye mask was wielding a huge sword as if it weighed nothing. To his left was a giant monster of sorts wrecking havoc on the whole place without discrimination. Naruto prepared a Rasengan and sent it at the sword wielder only for his arm to go through the man like water. He flipped his body to dodge the next sword strike and saw he was correct, the man's body was made of water. The building shook violently and Jiraiya came crashing down from the second floor to crater on the first. The Avenger followed through the now gaping hole cradling a ball of lightening. The masked man was jumping toward the Pervy Sage, prepared to strike. Watching the man near his Godfather in slow motion suddenly had Naruto surging with strength, he barreled through the white haired man and monster with ease, throwing each into a separate wall which collapsed at the impact. The Avenger looked up sharply at the commotion just in time to see Naruto, cloaked in a red aura launch his fist into the masked man's face. Before his body could make contact with a solid force, the Fox was behind him, sending a kick toward his side violently. The Avenger caught the kick and landed one of his own on the sidekick's face but the kick hardly fazed the man. Instead of stumbling backward, Naruto launched at the Avenger once more. The villain had to fight seriously with the sidekick, his anger at being pushed back by a no body fueling his power even more.

"Don't act like you have a chance of beating me you pathetic sidekick." The Avenger snarled out after a complicated sequence of fire bursts.

"Don't act like you're better than me bastard!" Naruto yelled back, landing a successful punch on his opponent. Naruto was slowly losing control, becoming more animal like in his attack by the second. Jiraiya awoke in the crater to see his godson battling the villain savagely. The Kyuubi was leaking out. He had to push it back in and allow Naruto to fight using his own strength. He leapt from his place on the ground and intercepted Naruto's attack and pulled him into a hug, "Stop this. You didn't train this hard to lose control Fox." Naruto struggled briefly before taking a deep breath in his Godfather's embrace, allowing the power to seep back inside his body before relaxing completely, ready to fight using his own power. The Avenger took the opportunity to retrieve his allies and flee the scene now that both the hero and sidekick were in fighting condition. He didn't care for their safety but if they were caught, important information regarding his plan could be leaked to the Kage League. He managed to escape even while carrying the others, furious the loser sidekick pushed him so far. Next time he would kill him for sure.
