Naruto/Superman
A strange visitor from another planet
"Kal-El, my son, my only son," the recording said. "As I say these words my world is crumbling. The Council ignored my warnings and now Krypton, the world of your birth, is dieing. You are my last hope. The world that I am sending you is primitive, but they hold great promise. There is little time left for me, but I have included all my memories and the whole knowledge of Krypton in this crystal palace. I hope that one day it will become your fortress of solitude."
The young man with black hair and blue eyes ran a tired hand through his hair and let loose a great sigh.
"How troublesome."
13 years earlier:
"The Kyubi is attacking!" someone screamed.
The Naras ran, Shikaku protecting his very pregnant wife from debris as they ran through the streets of Konoha. It wouldn't be long now before the giant Fox breached the very walls of the Village of the Hidden Leaf. Then, just as Minato, the 4th Hokage road out on Gamabunta to confront the massive beast, the sky exploded with flames. The sky was filled with burning green rocks, flying from who knows where, pummeling Fox and human alike. Then, in the midst of it all, a silver object slammed on the Fox's head, knocking it out cold.
The silver object bounced, spun and skidded to a halt right in front of the Nara family. It opened with a hiss, revealing a baby smiling up at them.
They looked at the spaceship. They looked at the unconscious Fox. And then they looked at the sky as the last of the green projectiles fell to earth.
Shikaku shrugged.
"The orphanage paperwork would be too troublesome to fill out," he commented before holding the baby in his arms. Said baby grabbed his finger and promptly broke it. Wincing, the older ninja pondered how troublesome his life would become.
"Shikamaru, Douyouha, come to the table," their mother demanded. The two boys, both about the same size at Shikamaru's five years, (which they had also adopted for their adopted son, because it would be too troublesome to celebrate two birthdays), grumbled quietly as they sat up from their cloudwatching. They diligently ate breakfast and made their way to their first day at the Academy.
Once there, Shikamaru promptly nodded off, but Douyouha found it impossible to sleep with the sun out. Instead, the boy spent the entire day playing a shogi game in his head against an imaginary opponent.
When they were six, they discovered that Douyouha was much stronger than anyone else in his year. Mizuki-sensei discovered this the hard way when he was thrown out the wall of the classroom, out the window, over the next building and fell with a crash right outside the Ichiraku Ramen Bar.
The blue-eyed Nara boy was also much faster than anyone else in his year and at one point accidentally found himself in Wave. It took him a few days to get back, but it was too troublesome to explain to his mother where he'd been for the better part of the last week.
When they were seven, the two Nara boys received a shogi board for their birthday. They ignored Iruka for the rest of the year and just played against each other.
When they were eight, not much happened except for the Uchiha kid turning emo. Ends up there was some trouble in his clan's compound. Shikamaru and Douyouha just played shogi.
When they were nine, their father retired because he had decided it was more fun to feed deer than be a ninja.
When they were ten two things of importance happened. First, Douyouha discovered that weapons couldn't cut him and that, having fallen asleep one night on the top of the Konoha Monument, falling several hundred meters didn't hurt him. The Second was that the Nara boys discovered Go. They decided to play both Go and Shogi at the same time.
When they were eleven, a loudmouthed blonde joined their class, having failed the exit examination for the second time. He was quite the prankster.
They graduated when they were twelve. Shikamaru was put on a team with Ino and Choji, offspring of his father's teammates. Douyouha was put together with some other people whose names were too troublesome for the author to make up. His team failed the teamwork test because it was too easy for him to succeed on his own, but too troublesome for him to bother with. Shikaku decided to train his adopted son himself.
When they got to the family training ground, Douyouha tripped over his spaceship that was now half buried in the ground.
He raised an eyebrow as a way of asking for an explanation.
Shikaku sighed. "It's too troublesome to explain. Go ask your mother."
And that was how Douyouha discovered he was an alien.
There was a minor incident when Douyouha knocked out a giant raccoon, but other than that, not too much happened for the rest of their twelfth year. They turned thirteen after Shikamaru made Chunin, and Douyouha was given a place on a team with other people who were also too troublesome for the author to make up names for. And one day after practice, Douyouha was going through his spaceship and found a crystal. Giving it a little shake, the boy absently tossed it behind him. A rumbling started up and soon a big crystal palace grew from the ground. The deer looked at it, then looked at him for an explanation. The boy just scratched his head and walked inside.
And that brings us to the beginning of this fic.
"I expected you to build this in some out of the way place, like the arctic," Jor-El commented, obviously confused as to why the Fortress of Solitude was in some family's back yard.
"It would be too troublesome to go that far."
Soon his parents came home.
"Douyouha, honey, why is there a giant building made out of crystal in our back yard.
Douyouha looked at his mother. Turned and looked at the Fortress. Then he looked at the ground and scratched his head.
"It's too troublesome to explain, the old guy inside knows it better than me," the boy said.
His mother quickly forced him to give the entire story.
When the Sound Four took off with Sasuke so he could betray them, Douyouha discovered that he could fly and shoot fire from his eyes. So did Sasuke, in a rather permanent fashion.
The Hokage convinced him that it wasn't too troublesome to explain exactly what happened.
Years and Years later after Akatsuki and The Fourth Shinobi War and all that cannon stuff that the Author finds too troublesome to recant:
"Kneel before Zod!"
Sigh...
"No, because getting back up off the floor after is just too troublesome."
AUTHOR'S NOTE:
Where am I going with this? Absolutely nowhere! It's a silly little think that got stuck in my head after my friends insisted that I read Naruto (which is actually a lot more complex and intense than I expected) and then we watched the Superman movie.
I don't own Superman or Naruto.
