Chapter 1

It was another sunny day in the boisterous metropolis known as Jump city, where a strange group of teenagers were eating at a local pizza place. They were known locally as the Teen Titans. The Teen Titans were composed of Robin their leader, Starfire, Raven, BeastBoy and Cyborg. At the moment Robin was having a conversation with Starfire about world government; Raven was sitting quietly adding in a few points when she wanted to, while Cyborg and BeastBoy were having a pizza eating contest. Cyborg eating meat lovers, BeastBoy eating vegetarian.

"I see…" Starfire started "You say that even though the United States has always tried to be … uh… isolationists, but it never seems to work out?"

"Well actually its becau-" Robin was cut off by a bright orange light, temporarily blinding him, he then heard a faint explosion coming from the west. When his vision came back he looked around trying to blink the spots out from his vision. Taking action he looked up at the rest of the group. "Okay team, it looks like we're going to have to cut our lunch short."

"Aww man, I was winning!" BeastBoy whined slowly getting up from the table.

"Friends, we have no time to waste" the Tamaranean said flying in the direction of the explosion.

TIMESKIP 5 MINUTES

The titans soon arrived at the scene. When they all got there they were shocked almost beyond belief. In the middle of the park was a crater about 50 feet in diameter.

"Duuuude…" BeastBoy said quietly "what do you think happened here?"

"I don't know, but I'm going to find out" Robin answered

"Look," Raven said bringing everybody's attention to the center of the crater. There right in the center of the crater lay a boy, probably not any older than any of them. This boy had blonde hair and whisker marks across his face. They all ran closer to get a better look at him.

"Guys, he's injured!" Cyborg said rushing to the blonde's side when he saw the blood pooling under his body. "Holy crap! We've got to get him out of here!"

"The only place within 500 miles that can treat these kinds of injuries is T-tower" Raven said quickly

"Then let's get him there!" Robin ordered getting his team to move. Starfire swiftly picked up the boy and got into the T-car. They managed to get to the T-tower in less than 10 minutes, breaking virtually every traffic law known to man in the process. Still rushing, they got him to the medical wing of the tower. Once there Cyborg began to work on him.

Realizing that having everybody in there would be more hindrance than help Robin got everybody except for Cyborg out of the room.

The team, minus Cyborg, were all in the living room trying to find something to keep them busy. BeastBoy was flipping through the channels, not really paying attention to what he was watching. Raven was levitating in the corner meditating. Robin was sitting in a chair fidgeting. And Starfire was pacing worriedly back and forth in front of the window. In all of their minds the same train of thoughts could be heard 'who is this kid?' 'why is he here?' and 'is he going to be alright?'

They continued on in this fashion for the better part of the day when Cyborg's voice crackled over the intercom

"Hey guys, you can come down here now" hoping for good news they went to the medical wing. Sure enough, when they got there Cyborg was standing outside of the critical condition room. The room looked just like any other room in a hospital. 12 feet square with one door and an 8 foot wide by 5 foot glass window made for people out in the hallway to look in the room. When they got to the room, they looked through the window to see the blonde boy within. He seemed to be okay, if not for being swathed in bandages and all of the machines hooked up to him. He appeared to be simply asleep. The machines that were hooked up to him were measuring his heart rate, core temperature, insulin levels, and other things like that.

After just looking at the boy for a few seconds Robin asked the question on everybody's mind "How is he doing?"

"He's stable" Cyborg answered in a sedate tone "but I honestly don't see how. With what he has, he should be dead."

"And what is it that he has?" Raven asked still in the monotone but with just the tiniest bit of concern.

Cyborg answered in the same grave voice as before "He has a collapsed lung, a gaping hole through his chest, five broken ribs; both his left leg and right arm are broken, massive internal bleeding, also he has several lacerations and 3rd degree burns all over his body" he listed off. With every injury he listed off the rest of the titans appeared more and more shocked. They all looked back at him, with not as much concern as before but more with wonder and awe.

"What do you think happened to him?" BeastBoy asked no one in particular.

"I don't know, we'll have to wait for him to tell us" Cyborg said before remembering something else "oh he was carrying these" he said handing Robin a type of pouch.

Robin sifted through the pouch finding some unusual things he found some kunai knives, throwing stars, about 11 yards of metal wire, a couple of smoke bombs and a small scroll. When he tried to open the scroll it wouldn't budge. Deciding to deal with it later he gave the pouch back to Cyborg

There were a few more seconds of silence before Robin decided that it was time to take action and began to issue orders to his team. "Okay I want somebody watching this guy at all times, to wait for signs of him waking up, and when he does we'll see where he's from and why he's here, but for now we'll watch him in two hour shifts. I'll take the first shift" and with that the Teen Titans were dismissed. After taking one last look at the sleeping teenage blonde, they left.

TIMESKIP ONE WEEK

It's been about a week since they found the boy in a crater at the park, one very stressful, very worrisome week all centered on the unconscious blonde. It was about 7:00 at night when BeastBoy got up from watching TV to go relieve Raven from watching the bewhiskered boy. Quickly grabbing a few comic books he prepared for his shift. Comic books in hand the green shapshifter headed towards the medical wing of the tower. Not bothering to look through the window, he grabbed the knob to the room and opened the door. When he did he heard the soft movement of clothing, like they were surprised. When he looked in he saw Raven standing right next to the bed, her hands behind her back, trying to look as innocent as possible.

"Hey Rae," BeastBoy said with a questioning tone "what were you doing?"

"Nothing," she said with an emotionless monotone. "I was just waiting for you to get here and the end my shift when you opened the door" In actuality when no one else was in the room she would pass the time by petting the Teen's whisker marks. She didn't know why, but whenever she was alone in a room with him she would feel the urge to reach out and pet him. "See ya BeastBoy" Raven said still in that monotone, walking out the door and down the hall, with a little bit more of a rush than normal, out of sight.

BeastBoy, either unknowing or uncaring, shrugged to himself and plopped down on a chair, in the corner of the room. Opening up one of his comics he began to read.

POV CHANGE

Naruto was in immense pain and it all seemed to be emanating from his chest, where Sasuke had hit him with his Chidori. 'Wait a minute… Sasuke! Where was Sasuke? Or where am I for that matter?' Naruto thought. He slowly opened his eyes, when he did he had to quickly shut them again, because of the harsh while lights above him. Giving himself a few seconds to adjust, he opened his eyes fully for the first time in a whole week. He looked to his left and right and saw that he was in some sort of medical room judging by all of the machines hooked up to him. He then looked in front of him and saw something very strange, a green boy, maybe younger than him, with pointed ears sleeping sitting up in the corner with a comic book covering his face. Not seeing Sasuke or anything familiar, he made himself get up despite all of his pain with pure force of will alone. He sat up slowly, feeling the pain in his chest intensify with every movement. The wires that were attaching him to the machines fell off, including the heart rate monitor, causing it to flat line.

BeastBoy hearing the heart rate monitor flat line, jumped up with a start hoping that the blonde wasn't dead. When he looked at the medical bed he saw the whiskered teen trying to stand.

"Hey you're awake! The guys will be so glad to here- wait what are you trying to do? You need to stay in bed; you're not fully healed yet." BeastBoy said walking over to the blonde trying to make him get back in bed

"No…I can't, I… need… to find…Sasuke" Naruto said clearly in pain. "I made… a promise to… Sakura"

Not understanding what he meant at all, BeastBoy tried to get him to cooperate and stay in the bed. "Dude your in no condition to find anybody. Now stay in bed before I make you!" he said more forcefully, trying to push Naruto back into the bed. What happened next, BeastBoy didn't expect. Naruto, finding strength, grabbed BeastBoy's wrist and flung him through the observation window, into the hallway.

"Get out of my way!" the blonde yelled as the green skinned boy crashed through the glass and into the wall breaking the plaster. Naruto slammed open the door and limped out and down the hallway clutching his shoulder in pain.

BeastBoy was sprawled out on the floor with plaster dust from the wall all over him. He reached down and pulled out the titans' communicator out of his belt. Flipping it open he said into it "Hey guys"

"What is it BeastBoy?" Robin's voice came over the communicator

"Yeah what is so important that you made me lose my high score?" Cyborg asked sounding annoyed

"And my concentration" came Raven's monotone

"Well uh…" BeastBoy started "that one guy…yeah he's awake…"

"Oh joyous day! Our new friend has awakened!" Starfire said happily, interrupting BeastBoy.

"-and threw me through the window and into the wall" he finished

There was a few seconds of silence when all of a sudden "HE WHAT?!?!" everybody yelled nearly blowing out the speakers on the communicator.

Naruto was confused and was just about to panic. He had no idea where he was. He had never been here before, he knew it he had no memory of it, and he still needed to find Sasuke. He had turned another corner and he had walked into a very large room (by his standards anyway) the Titans living room. He saw something he was looking for, a window to the outside. He limped as fast as his injured body could take him. He looked outside the window, hoping to see something familiar, a person, a landmark, anything. But he found nothing he has ever seen before. He saw a huge city with tall metal buildings and millions of people. "Where am I?" he said aloud to himself

"Hey stop right there!" a voice came from behind him, Naruto turned around to see who was addressing him. He saw a large man that seemed to be made of mostly metal. "I don't wanna have to mess you up kid" he said "but if I have to I will!"

"Just leave me alone, I need to find Sasuke!" Naruto yelled at the metal man.

"Surprise" a voice behind Naruto said in a bored monotone very close to his ear. When he turned around he saw a girl about his age with grey skin, and a type of blue hooded cloak floating above the ground. The next thing he knew the ground underneath him seemed to be lifted up by a black colored energy and threw him towards Cyborg, who caught him in a headlock.

"Let me go!" he yelled in frustration trying to get out of Cyborg's iron grip (pun not intended)

By this time the rest of the team had arrived to see Naruto being restrained by Cyborg. "So you caught him?" Robin said, more of a statement than a question "my name is Robin who are you?" Robin asked now addressing Naruto.

"I could care less about who you are, I need to find Sasuke!" Naruto hollered in irritation, clenching his eyes shut, struggling harder against Cyborg

He fought harder and harder against Cyborg's grip. Cyborg was beginning to worry; this was getting tough "Hey guys! I don't know how much longer I can hold on to him!"

"LET GO!" Naruto roared, his voice becoming more demonic. He then opened his eyes and everybody saw what was happening to him. His irises had turned from their normal sky blue to a deep crimson, his Canines had grown more pronounced now jutting at least an inch farther than they were supposed to, and the whisker marks on his cheeks became darker "I PROMISED SAKURA THAT I WOULD BRING BACK SAS-" Naruto was immediately knocked unconscious by Robin.

Everyone was a little shaken after watching the transformation before Starfire spoke up "I'm not completely sure, but I think that is not what you would call natural" Starfire stated.

"She's right, we need to thoroughly restrain him before he wakes up again" Robin said.

INSIDE NARUTO'S MIND

Naruto was walking around the hallways of his mind until he reached the last room it was huge at the least 80 feet high and about 150 feet wide. On one side the entire wall was a giant set of double cage doors, and right where the lock would be, there was a slip of paper that said "seal".

"One whole week and now you finally decide to visit me" the Kyuubi no Kitsune said amusedly through the bars

"Shut up fox! I want you to start explaining what happened!" Naruto Yelled at him.

"You could try a little nicer…Oh never mind, in all honesty I don't know where we are, except that we are in another dimension" he explained

"How?" Naruto asked

"Apparently after the Uchiha's last attack struck I tried to heal you by forcing as much of my chakra into your body as possible. The force of all that demonic chakra in one place probably ripped a hole into another dimension" Kyuubi answered

"Then send me back!" Naruto still yelling at the Bijuu

"I'm sorry kit, but it was a one time thing. If I was to ever put that much of my chakra in you again you would surely die. That's why it took so long for you to heal"

"What do you mean 'took so long to heal'?"

"You've been unconscious for at least a week kit, if I tried to heal you at all that first day, it would have made things worse instead of better"

"Well I…" Naruto suddenly got quiet, everything finally sinking in "I can never go back…never see Baa-cha, never see Ero-sennin, never see Kakashi, Kiba, Lee, Hinata, Neji, Ino, Chouji, Shikamaru, never see…Sakura…"

"Kit I am truly sorry" Kyuubi said to the downcast blonde. Over the years Kyuubi has actually started to feel a connection between them, he became happy when Naruto was happy, became sad when Naruto was sad, and angry when Naruto was angry. And now this is the saddest he's ever felt

REAL WORLD

The Teen Titans all stood around the medical bed and were about to strap down the blonde boy when he did something very unexpected. Tears began to stream down his unconscious face as he cried in his sleep. The teens froze what they were doing immediately when they saw his tears.

"Dude is he…crying?" BeastBoy inquired

"I…I think he is" Cyborg said in shock.

"This just raises more questions than before" Robin said "We need to figure out who this guy is"

They all stood silently around the bed as they watched the unconscious teen cry "I volunteer" Raven said suddenly.

"What do you mean, friend Raven?" Starfire asked, wondering what her friend meant.

"Well if you guys haven't noticed, I'm psychic. That means I can go into other people's minds" she said still in her monotone voice.

"Okay, if you volunteer" Robin said, not fully sure if he should let her do this. "just be careful" and with that Raven walked to the end of the bed, taking a deep breath before taking the first two fingers of both her hands and pressing them against the temples of the still crying blonde.

"Azarath, metrion, zinthos!" Raven uttered her eyes then turned white with some type of black energy emanating from her fingers into his skull.

IN NARUTO'S MIND

Raven stood at the beginning of a long hallway, with doors lining both sides. This was the metaphoric organization of someone's memories. Deciding to start a little further down the hallway she opened the 15th door on her right. Inside was a dark room with a single boy standing in the center, he looked like he was about 6 years old. Like the older version this one was crying, rivulets of tears seeping down his face. Raven got a little closer to the boy; she then realized that there were others besides the little boy there. There was a large crowd of people in a circle around the small boy, their faces covered with shadow. They all seemed to be whispering, so she got even closer to hear what the people were saying.

"Is that the demon boy?" "Yeah it is," "What was his name again?" "Naruto Uzumaki" "He's hideous" "Little monster needs to be destroyed"

Raven to say the least was shocked that anyone could say that about a child. Raven turned to look at the crying boy again, and heard him saying something, something that would just about break her heart "You'll see," the boy managed to sob out "You'll all see, I'll become the Hokage, and then everybody will respect me. You'll all be looking to for your protection, I promise it!"

Raven seeing enough of this memory, slowly headed towards the door. She reached the open door and looked back once, only once, at the boy before she left. She then continued through lots of his old memories, being the class clown in school just to be noticed. She learned that Sasuke was his rival at the academy, and that Sakura was his crush, even though she would never give him the time of day. She saw the fight with Zabuza, practically cheering him on herself. She saw him defeat Gaara of the sand. She felt his heart break, when his crush, Sakura, made him promise to bring Sasuke back. What she didn't find were any memories of the Kyuubi, because he had hidden them from her vision.

She had been going through his memories for hours, until she reached the last door in the hallway before it led to a large room. She walked in and saw a large canyon with a waterfall going through it. She saw Naruto covered in a thick red energy that was in the shape of a fox, his eyes red with cat-like slits, his very last memory of his so called best friend Sasuke plunging a lightning covered fist into his chest.

Finally reaching the end of the hallway she walked into a huge room, with cage bars on one side of the room. Curiosity filling her she walked closer to it hoping to see what was inside. She was about to just walk through the cage bars when she heard a faint sob come from her left. When she looked she saw Naruto at his current age sitting in the corner hugging his knees to his chest, wracked with uncontrolled sobs. She walked towards him and one thing struck her mind 'This is no memory' She thought to herself 'this is the real him' She reached out a hand to touch him when a large, dark voice stopped her.

"It would be wise if you get out of this child's mind, little girl. That is if you value your life" It said to her. She looked to her left and saw a huge fox with nine tails, sitting in the cage, staring directly at her.

"The Kyuubi, from Japanese legend, the king of the demons, I thought you were just a myth!" she yelled in surprise backing away from the cage.

"I am very real, human. Now get out of the Kit's mind, he is filled with enough anguish, without your meddling!" The Kyuubi yelled angrily. Scared out of her wits, she quickly did what she was told, and left Naruto's mind.

THE REAL WORLD

Robin, Starfire, BeastBoy, and Cyborg were waiting for Raven to come out of the blonde's mind. Even though it felt like hours to Raven barely a minute had passed for the rest of the teen titans. When they saw all of the dark looking energy start to die down, they became tense as Raven once again joined the world of the conscious. When she came all of the way out, she seemed to look shaken, like she had seen one of the scariest things in her life and with Raven that's saying something. "So…Who is this kid?" Cyborg asked Raven.

Raven though seemed to not hear him, and walked over to the chair in the corner and sat down. No longer looking shaken, she just looked…sad

"Friend Raven, Who is he?" Starfire asked trying to get her friend to talk.

Finally seeming to hear them she answered, but not the answer they expected "So much pain, So much agony"

"What?" BeastBoy asked confused to why she would say this.

Raven looked up at them "his name is Naruto Uzumaki"

"Okay, where is he from?" Cyborg asked this time

"Not from this dimension. He's from some village named Konoha where he was hated for something he couldn't control"

"What couldn't he control?" Robin asked

"I shouldn't say," Raven answered deciding to keep the Kyuubi a secret until Naruto wanted to tell them.

"What did this to him" Starfire questioned

Then all at once anger filled her eyes "His best friend, Sasuke" she answered causing everybody to gasp "He had run away from the village, Naruto chased after him trying to bring him back when Sasuke attacked him"

They all looked back at the still crying Naruto with a new understanding. They all stood in silence for what seemed like a few minutes, when Naruto began to stir on the bed. Naruto's eyes opened and slowly sat up, taking a look towards the Teen Titans, eyes so full of sadness and suffering. He quickly turned away, hanging his legs off the side of the bed, his back facing them. Starfire was about to say something to Naruto, but he said something first "go…just leave me… please" he said quietly, his voice the very essence of sorrow.

Robin tried to say something to the blonde "Naruto I… I'm so sorr-" but was cut of by Naruto

"I don't need your pity" he said burying his face in his hands "just leave"

Doing what he asked, the team left one by one, Raven was the last to leave. Before she closed the door, she looked back over her shoulder at Naruto, his face in his hands as he cried his heart out. Raven whispered one word before she left "…Naruto…"

That night Naruto's cries of pain rang through the hallways of Titan's tower, as he wept for the loss of everything he once held dear.
