Last time
"Lantern, use your ring." J'onn cries coughing forcefully.
"No, I can focus my mind." GL responded by dropping to the ground.
"Ryūjin, use your teleportation." Diana said to blond and that was the key word try. The last thing he saw that Superman and Hawkgirl change back to their true form white aliens.
Now
"Ryūjin... Ryūjin" The blond opened his eyes noting his position.
"Ryūjin are you all right?" Diana was standing beside him; in fact, people were prisoners together in a strange prison of a viscous material. None of them could be released.
"I feel like Gamabunta had used my body as a springboard." blond complained of his aching muscles.
"Hime, Are you okay?" Finally asked with concern, but soon noticed that some were already awake. "Superman, J'onn, lantern ..."
"You should not have comes here." the man of steel complained.
"You will do the same thing for me."J'onn ssid.
"Ugh ... my head hurts." Flash complained.
Surprisingly front of them, on a raised platform was one of those aliens.
"The strongest heroes of the Earth" It spokes with a sense of superiority. It changed shape to another quite familiar to all the heroes, or at least most. "Welcome."
"Senator Carter." Claim Superman.
"Unfortunately the real Carter was never return from the Mars." He talked about how satisfied as spy.
"We know, you used me to weaken defenses of the earth." Claim Kryptonian again.
"You were so eager to cooperate. Thank to you, humans are completely defenseless against us." Satisfied smile from his face said that they already won the war against the heroes.
"This is not over." cried Superman.
"You turned to be wrong, Superman. It is over." Carter countered, while the roof of the factory opened for ship. This ship was different than usually used by other aliens, in fact was much larger than usual. The group, including the false Senator Carter turned to the landing craft.
"Greet all the Imperium." said fake Carter with pride in his voice before bowing alongside all other aliens.
Soon the bottom of the vessel opened then air came with a strong white smoke. It was revealed look of the leader of this alien race, called Imperium. Everyone was surprised. It was almost like a purple bacterium and several tentacles coming out of various parts.
"J'onn J'onzz, It has been a long time." Imperium said and approach to floating. With just a gesture of its tentacles, the material of the Martian prison extended and leaves Martian to front of him, Nevertheless, the Martian does not move his any muscle and his place or show him fear.
Recognizing his insolence front of leader, guards of the leader got closer to the Martian and attacked him with their poles power, causing the target screams and then fell to his knees in pain. All allies were mere observers, powerless to make a move to rescue him.
"Much better." said leader of satisfaction. "We've challenged for centuries."
"And I never bow down to you or any of your races." Martin confessed, this time turning to the feet.
"Then I do, that should I have done long time ago." Proclaimed the leader moved its tentacles in the anticipation and expectation. "The end of last Martian" Purple tentacles quickly attacked J'onn and entered in his skin. It was painful, incredibly painful, and skillfully entered more and more approaching from his head to front of his right eye.
J'onn screams louder.
The league could only see how twisted Martian within interior, as the screams and flashes of dying sprouted. He tried to escape even in extreme pain, but it was useless, in fact the alien kept him captive.
"Let go coward!" cried Superman
"Surrender to us, J'onn J'onzz." The leader said with conviction.
"Never" Martian replied standing firm against the constant torture.
"Why do you resist? Accept this truth," continued his monologue of superiority. "After all these years you are finally lost."
"You think ..." He added growling.
"You were hiding something, a secret deep in the recesses of your mind." he confirms with certainty the nature of the secret feeling, but not truth itself. "Is this another of your tricks Martians?" he angrily threatened to Martian.
"What if I am afraid?" J'ohn reply with certainty.
"What are you hiding?"
"AAAAHHH!" cried Martian in pain. "NOW" Martian said.
The rest of the heroes looked at the sound of the explosion and saw Naruto and Batman on the protective layer.
"Impossible." Green Lantern said.
"It can't be Batman" The princess' voice was full of wonder and slight shock" Ryūjin' but how?" questioned Diana as she and the others turned to look at the Ryūjin' who imprisoned alongside of them.
"I put a telepathic field to avoid him detected." J'onn confessed.
Batman plunged his hand in crystal and pushed a device in it. Instantly the red layers that surrounded crystal and walls turned into blue.
"What have you done?" fake senator Carter demanded.
"Reversed the ion charge," responded the dark knight.
"The crystal; Destroy it!" the Imperium Ordered urgently.
Batman and Naruto jumped from the crystal to free their comrades.
The aliens shoot crystal but it did nothing.
"It's shielded!"
The facility started to pulse in blue light to the clouds and the dark clouds started to dissipate letting sunlight shine of the facility.
Naruto used Mokuton and instantly tree roots are grow from ground and trap most of aliens from escaping and cry of Rasengan he hit it to Imperium to set J'onn free from his grip.
All aliens were start to burn from the scorching light, some even began to melt and evaporate instantly. The Imperium himself was start to burn.
"You live underground and shun the light! WHY! Does it burn your pale putrid skin! BEGONE WITH THE LIGHT YOU VILE NIGHTMARE!" scream J'onn.
The creature continued to scream in agony burning and melting in the scorching ultraviolet rays of the sun.
Naruto and Batman went for the others heroes, who were looking two Naruto in puzzle.
"Clone" explain Naruto, They turned just in time to see as the imprisoned clone posing as the real Ryūjin' dissipated into flock of crow.
'Glad I was able to make new version of shadow clone who withstand more hit and damage.'
00 Flashback Starts 00
"Wait, where are Batman, Superman and Hawkgirl?" Diana questioned.
"Hawkgirl and Superman are hostage right there." The Martian pointed to the factory smoke in Metropolis. "Unfortunately, Batman ..." The Martian looked down; there was no easy way to say this. "... Is dead. He fights like a hero."
Naruto is look confused and Diana was really sad death of hero.
"The bat died?" questioned in a tone of horror, Flash. "This is wrong, very wrong."
"And it will get worse. The Imperium is on the way." J'onn warned.
"What is the Imperium?" Flash questioned.
"It is the higher intelligence that controls all invaders, and we know it." He added mysteriously. "We must hurry and save both of them. We needs all help if we want to defeat Imperium."
"Well, then begin attack." said Green Lantern. "Flash, you will distract. Diana, Ryūjin, you will cover me back."
"Do you rely on Rookies?" Diana recalled sarcastically.
"Yeah, I mean, some rookies are just reckless." said Naruto with the same sarcasm.
When remaining heroes were forming a plan, how they will go to break into the facility and free Superman and Hawkgirl. In this period Naruto made telepathic link with J'ohn
'J'ohn'
'What...' reply J'ohn surprise hidden in his vice
'It's me Ryūjin' He look at Ryūjin with surprised.
'Ryūjin ...How... Are you telepath?'
'That is not important, now. If batman was really death how I can sense his life force clearly. Care to explain me?' asked Naruto with series tone
'You can sense life force. Now that explains how you were able found batman and superman early today. Never mind Batman is live but I put a telepathic field to avoid being him detected by alien. He is very important to my next plan'
'Ok ...so my early theory was correct. They not only adopt Martian shape shifter ability, also their mind ability. That explain how they know our early plans because they can read our minds'
'Yes' J'ohn surprise his explanation
'Don't worry, they can't penetrate my mind defense my mind is too strong for read. Also I don't tell anyone about Batman.'
'Thanks'
'Care to tell me your entire plan.'
J'ohn clarified their entire plan to Naruto and then he cut their mind link.
The remaining heroes formed a plan. They were going to break into the facility and set free Superman and Hawkgirl. Their entrance was faced with little resistance; occasional teams of two guards were in their way but were easily dispatched. When they finally reached their comrades they entered their holding cell. They meet with Superman and Hawkgirl
"Great Hera." said Diana
"Wait, something's not right." the Martian replied. But the warning was too late. Hawkgirl and Superman both eyes opened, revealing a bright red in contrast to the usual. All the heroes took a step backward.
"It's a trap!" Green Lantern cry as they watched the entrance they had come was now closed. What happened next was the gas that began to emerge from the walls, causing all began to cough severity.
"Lantern, use your ring!" J'onn cries coughing forcefully.
"No, I can focus my mind." GL responded by dropping to the ground.
"Ryūjin, use your teleportation!" Diana said to blond
'That is my chance' though Naruto. He used basic Replacement Jutsu and replaces himself with special shadow clone then he teleported.
0 Gotham 0
Naruto appeared on tall building of Gotham.
'So this is Gotham, city of Dark knight. Now let's find Batman.' He concentrates to found Batman's life force after pinpoint his exact location. He vanished with his Jikūkan Idō.
0 Gotham-Batcave 0
Batman was using his computer to analyses the crystal which he get from factory with the help of J'ohn.
Naruto suddenly appeared behind batman asked "found anything?"
Out of reflex batman tried to hit intruder but found his kick faze thought him. After realizing who was intruder. He question him in surprise tone" Ryūjin'...How you found location of Batcave?"
"J'ohn told me everything about plan. About other they are capture by aliens but they are still alive. As for me I able replaced clone with me"
"Clone?" batman Question
He used shadow clone and perfect replica appeared in cloud of smoke beside real Naruto.
"What was that? Some kind of hologram?" asked Batman looking clone
"No, they're real" He Said
"As for how I found this place just like earlier in military base. I was able pinpoint your location of life force and then teleport here"
Batman noted "so you can teleport anywhere that explain how you got in military base without noticing and what about earlier when I try to kick you but my kick fazed through you?"
"If I want I can make myself intangible like J'ohn" batman noted again "so what you found about crystal?"
"The crystal seams to generate an ion flux that when released in the atmosphere creates dry rain clouds" said dark knight looking at the data.
"Why would they do that?"
"I'm not sure; J'onn said that their nocturnal and they intend to cover the sun."
Naruto took a thinking position with index finger under his nose and the palm covering his mouth "even so... hmm... look the underneath... underneath..."
"What was that?" Batman stopped and looked at the blond.
"What? O sorry, my old sensei used to tell me that we must be look underneath...underneath "blond said
"Good advice"
"Thanks ... and also something strange happened in factory early today"
"What?"
"I think they looked scared to sunlight"
Realization and shock appeared on Batman's face "sunlight!"
"What? Sunlight"
"The aliens come from deep space, so they must have evolved with no resistance against our solar radiation." Batman's returned pressing some buttons on the huge computer.
"So that's why they are trying to block the sun and why they attacked at night... they had a time-limit."
"Yes, I think I can change the ion flow of this crystal, that will make the storm disperse and the sun appear." Said batman pressing buttons on the computer and coming up with a schematic of a portable ion flow device.
0 In Metropolis 0
Batman and Naruto were appeared on a building a few streets away from the facility.
"Alright, do you have a plan?"
"Yes, we break in, sneak to the ion matrix crystal and place this emitter on it to change the ion flow."
"Add in break their legs and it's a plan, let's go!"
Naruto wrapped both of them towards the facility, finally they were appeared inside facility both looked around and saw the rest of the heroes.
Then they heard someone' screams and looked at the parasitic creature that had its tentacles in J'onn's skin and pulling him inside out.
Naruto broke the silence. "That must be the leader. That Sick, slimy, piece of shit"
Naruto looked at the crystal then back at Batman and nodded.
"NOW" It was J'onn that gave the signal.
"Step back, Rasengan" Naruto slammed his right arm in the protective crystal with the Rasengan and breaking its protective layer.
The rest of the heroes looked at the sound of the explosion and saw Naruto and Batman on the protective layer.
00 Flashback Ends 00
"Ultraviolet rays, coming from deep space, they have no resistance against our sun's radiation." told Batman their unasked question.
"So you did find their weakness after all." Spoke Diana freeing herself.
"DESTROY THEM!" ordered the Imperium its voice wavering.
The invaders proceeded to fire their weapons at the superheroes but Superman covered them by ripping section of the platform and bending it giving them cover.
After freeing themselves, the heroes quickly attacked aliens with Hawkgirl using her mace to break the invaders apart while Flash and Green Lantern were punching and scattering them around. Superman flew through the surface of the facility and making holes that let sunlight enter and hit the invaders burning them. The rest of the superheroes proceeded to help him and ripped entire sections of the roof letting sunlight enter. Naruto used Amaterasu on earlier tree roots to burn or trapped aliens and giving J'onn some cover so he got his rightful revenge on the alien parasite.
The Imperium managed to free itself from the Martian grip and get in its shuttle. The entrance closed and started to fly but Diana used her lasso to grip its tail. The shuttle fired a beam from the tail and the princess was forced to deflect it, thus releasing her grip. The shuttle started to fly away but Hawkgirl flew above it and charged her mace before smashing its nose disabling it. She continued to strike it. Naruto joined her giving the final hit with his 'Multiple Shadow Hand'
The shuttle fell and hit the factory exploding and almost falling on Batman if Flash not rescued him. The facility started to fall apart.
"It's time to leave the party" Naruto said putting his hands together in a cross sign for Kage Bunshin.
Twenty clones appeared and started releasing captured civilians and carried them with Superman and Flash in a group. Green Lantern appeared and used his ring to make a protective dome around them and started to ascend out of the doomed factory with the rest of the Superheroes, Superman holding Flash, Naruto carrying Batman. Hawkgirl and Diana following close behind, getting out just as the facility exploded.
The nearby mother-ship started to ascend but Naruto quickly got ready with his keens bent. "Like I'd let you leave for what you did" Said Naruto then he teleported himself behind flying ship and sustained himself in air. He prepared for his next attack.
"Ryūjin no...
A black chakra burst before his lips, inviting a torrent of chakra inside his body. Naruto inhaled and his stomach swelled, then his chest, then his cheeks, as all the while the chakra worked its way upward through his body, building into a blinding surge. He thrust his face forward, his lips parted in a defiant scream that rippled forth, from his lips, bursting as it was granted release.
...Hōkō"
Within a gash of blinding black light, his breath tore forward and slammed into mother-ship before it suddenly imploded in a massive explosion.
Flash let out a whistle of appreciation at the sight, "That guy sure does know how make some fireworks."
"As picturesque as this is moment but there's still more works have to done." reminded J'onn.
"Then we pick last plan where we split into teams." suggested Superman.
"Works for me." replied Batman as he departed towards his jet with his grappling hook.
By the time Naruto arrived, only Diana was waiting for him.
"We're going to be teams again and we are going to Asia" said Diana.
Naruto scratched the back of his head, "Can we stop and get something to eat first?"
With that in mind he sat on the concrete of the building, pulled a small scroll and stretch on the floor, applied some chakra on it making it appear two servings of instant ramen with a water bottle and a small metal container.
"Do you think it wise to eat in such a situation?" Diana questioned about the situation they faced.
"All battle makes me hungry. So do you want some? Do not worry" Blonde quickly took out a small rectangular paper with writing on it. Putting it the on metal container He some pour water inside. The seal inscribed on paper began to glow, causing the vessel began to heat up. "All mobile kitchen equipment, I never go without it."
"All tag allows you to make this thing..?" Puzzled wonder Diana asked.
"Seals are useful in many situations" Naruto asked "So, do you want?"
"... It looks interesting. All right" Diana smiled.
Diana received a small plastic container and then stopped to eat .Noticing that she had a pair of chopsticks her hand, Naruto seemed to notice her embarrassment. "You should eat this way." said blond by his own example by eating the noodles. "It was a tradition where I come from, but if you want I have a fork."
"No, that's fine." Assure Diana, seeking to do not offend his new colleague. She took pair of chopsticks with her fingers; the blond was showing her how to take them. It turned out to be difficult, but she was able grasps the basic idea almost immediately and then took the noodles to her mouth. "Mm?" said aloud, not recognizing the taste of something like this before. "Mm!" she smiled swallowing noodles completely. "This is pretty good, something spicy but tastes great."
"I knew you'd like, no one can hate ramen. It is the food of the gods." Naruto said "also I know some shortcut for our trip to Asia"
Then he wraps both of them and they vanished from site.

'The remaining invaders were either destroyed or choose to retreat from the planet. But the world was in confusion about what to do if another attack likes this ever occurred.' -News
It was Batman that came with the answer.
0 Watchtower 0
Superman was looking out the window at the Earth with Batman who appeared behind him "Incredible, do your stock holders know about this Bruce?" he asked the masked hero.
"A line item is hidden in the aerospace R&D Budget. This watchtower will act as an early warning system for detecting other threats of invasion from space."
Naruto rose from ground and appeared next to Superman, spooking him a little. "Interesting, place"
Flash and Diana appeared with two glassed in their hands, Flash spoke "This place does have a fully stoked kitchen. Ice mocha? "He offered Superman.
"No thanks" politely declined the man of steel.
Diana taking a sip of the drink in her hand... "... They don't have these of Themyscira."
"Stick around princess. I'll show you the ropes." Offered Flash with a smile.
"Perhaps I will." Naruto Said in joking manner.
"An impressive installation" Green Lantern said, that descended from above with Hawkgirl. "Most impressive, But what's it got to do with all of us?"
Superman turned from their gazes and looked again at the Earth responding while walking towards the glass.
"I once thought I could protect the world by myself, but I was wrong. Working together we saved the planet and I believe that if we stay together as a team we could become a force that fights for the ideals of peace and justice."
"What like a bunch of super friends?" asked the Flash getting the idea
"More like a justice league" he said with a smile.
"Do you have any idea how corny that sounds?" said Flash again "But maybe the big man's got a point, with all of us behind it, it might just work. Count me in." he reassured putting his hand on Superman's hand.
"Me too" said Green Lantern approaching them and putting his hand over Flash's.
Hawkgirl followed their example "and me" placing her hand on his.
Diana looked a little uncertain "My mother may not approve, but I find man's world to be intriguing. I'll gladly join." She said with confidence placing her hand on Hawkgirl's hand.
Naruto just looked at them with a smirk and knew it was his turn "Hmm, I agree with Flash, about it sounding lame I mean, and you guys are like a magnet for trouble. But I always like adventures. I was never a guy who turns down a challenge. I'm alright with it. I am in" He said which brought a smirk then placed his hand on Diana's hand.
Everyone looked at Batman but Superman voiced their thoughts "What about you, Batman?"
The dark knight put his head down slightly and answered "I'm not really a people person. But when you need help, and you will, call me."
"That just means that he is in, just in his own dark accent." blond replay with a smirk,
"Understood" answered the man of steel.
Naruto's stomach was demanding something to eat. "Err ... Is there ramen in the Watchtower?" asked pleadingly.
Many of the heroes raised their eyebrows at the strange request of blond. Diana was the only one who could answer smiling. "No, when I presented the cappuccino Flash tries searching, but no."
"Ah, well, lucky that I have months of ramen saved at home" said blond and vanished from site.
"You know he really have cool powers" comments Flash
"Does anyone want?" asked Naruto, who reappear behind Flash from floor and which frightens flash.
"DONT DO THAT..." screamed Flash.
"Do What..." Naruto asked innocently.
Diana again stepped forward to accept. "I would try that again."
"Well, they are unique flavors. I have ten flavors that not even I tried." Blond said following the Amazons to the kitchen. The rest watched incredulous interaction between Diana and Naruto. They certainly do not expect Amazons and understood blond so quickly.
Lantern was the first to react. "Great, we have another eccentric as Flash." Claimed many heads as a sign of agreement
Except for one protest from Hero who dressed in red. "Hey!"
Flash looked around "Wait J'onn is not here."
Superman just flew to it. They found J'onn sitting in front of the console staring at Mars. "J'onn, Are you alright?" asked Superman
"My family and loved ones are long gone. I am the last of my kind." He said with an aching heart.
Superman placed a hand on his shoulder. "I know the feeling."
"Mars is dead, and I am alone in the Universe."
Superman decided to said something "J'onn, we can never replace the family you lost, but we'd be honoured if you learn to call Earth your home."
Two of them smiled and climbed down to their future teammates that all gathered around them and started to chat...
-CUT-
Ryūjin no Hōkō means Dragon God Roar, It is pure black and distractive. Naruto used only 30% all full power of that attack.
Next Chapter will be coming soon...
